Ding Sheng completely felt the quiet, pure spiritual feeling at this moment.
These happy emotions come from the surrounding vegetation, and most of them are emanated from the herbs nearby. This feeling is really very magical, so close at hand, yet as if it is the horizon.
Ding Sheng's mind went blank at this time, and he didn't think about anything. He just tried his best to get in touch with the emotions of these plants and trees, and feel everything that happened here, including Ding Sheng's gratitude for picking and leaving behind for breeding.
All things in the world have their own destiny. All flowers and plants naturally know that they will eventually turn into energy and return to the earth. Flowers and plants are like this, and so are people.
This is the great power under the Great Dao, which controls everything of all living beings.
Therefore, these plants and trees did not blame Ding Sheng, but were grateful for the roots and seedlings he left behind to multiply.
In addition to these, the vegetation also tells the story of the changes in the cave over the past hundreds of years. Every stone, every sand, every water and every soil here is described in detail.
I don’t know how long it took, but the descriptions of the plants and trees gradually faded away, and the faint and vague emotion gradually disappeared. Ding Sheng knew that if they left, they might come back, or they might not.
But, no matter what, this strange experience made Ding Sheng very happy.
He understood a truth that he already knew, that is, everything is alive. It just depends on whether people can experience it. The vegetation here is alive, and it is more active than humans.
"Life? Taoism?" Ding Sheng slowly opened his eyes and murmured in a low voice.
Suddenly, Ding Sheng's eyes lit up, then he stood up and walked back and forth for a few steps, thinking deeply. Plants and trees have life, so can the Taoist meaning derived from this way of life be used in alchemy?
Second-grade mid-level elixirs need to transform the characteristics of the medicinal materials, so can they use the life force of the medicinal materials themselves to guide them?
This is an extremely bold idea, at least no one from the Jindan Sect has proposed it for thousands of years, but now Ding Sheng has come up with such an idea, and it is very likely that this idea will be realized.
Thinking of this, Ding Sheng couldn't help but feel a little hopeful. Then he returned to the big tree, took out the Black Dragon Cauldron and sat down.
Snap!~~~
A palm slapped on the black dragon cauldron, and the top lid rose in response. Ding Sheng took a shot from the sky, and medicinal materials fell into the cauldron one after another.
Phew!~~~
Ding Sheng's hands suddenly pressed against the cauldron, and a burst of white Yuan Fire instantly rose up. The temperature inside the cauldron rose sharply, and the eight medicinal herbs made a sizzling sound, and streams of medicinal juice flowed out.
Refining, transforming! Ding Sheng thought silently in his heart, his hands kept changing, and techniques like butterfly phantoms flashed out quickly. At the same time, spiritual consciousness poured into the cauldron, wrapping around the medicinal materials that needed to be transformed.
Gradually it seeped in.
This time, Ding Sheng did not forcefully transform the three medicinal materials, but felt and felt the breath of life contained in the medicinal materials.
It sounds simple, but when it comes to the critical moment, Ding Sheng finds out helplessly that he can't feel the breath of life. It's like a cow desperately trying to feel the beautiful sound of the piano. Unfortunately, he can clearly hear the sound, but can't feel it.
I don't know why. That's what Ding Sheng is like at this moment. He clearly knows that the medicinal materials contain the breath of life and contain the way of life, but he can't grasp it no matter what!
In fact, I don’t blame Ding Sheng. If he could grasp the way of life, wouldn’t he have entered the realm of martial saint? Now that Ding Sheng is not even a martial artist, how can he do it? This is simply wishful thinking!
Nowadays, just trying to grasp the Taoist meaning derived from it is so difficult, which is somewhat beyond Ding Sheng's expectation. It seems that everything is not as simple as imagined.
Thinking of this, Ding Sheng could only withdraw his spiritual consciousness. At the same time, the fire element in the cauldron shouted, burning all the medicinal materials into ashes, and himself was quickly annihilated.
Ignoring the remaining medicinal materials in the cauldron, Ding Sheng stood up and walked to the lake.
Looking at the rippling lake surface, Ding Sheng kept thinking in his mind. He did feel the breath of life of the plants and trees before, and felt their emotions surge, but why couldn't he feel the breath of life in the medicinal materials this time?
Ding Sheng will naturally not try to grasp the way of life of plants and trees now, but just feel it. This is like grasping the meaning of Tao derived from the way of life of plants and trees.
Ding Sheng is still confident that he can do this.
After thinking for a while, Ding Sheng had no clue, and then he took out the medicinal materials that needed to be transformed into the three flavors and took them in his hands. No matter what, it is best to try to have some connection with the medicinal materials first, otherwise he will not be able to comprehend them once he makes the elixir.
If you don't have the breath of life, then you have to waste a lot of medicinal materials.
After making the decision, Ding Sheng slowly closed his eyes and his heart fell silent.
The wind blew by in gusts, picking up Ding Sheng's clothes and making a hunting sound!
At this moment, Ding Sheng was like a stone sculpture, standing quietly by the lake and motionless, letting the lake water recede in front of him and the white mist swirling around him.
About an hour later, a faint emotion slowly flew out from the medicinal materials. Ding Sheng couldn't help but feel happy, finally waiting for this breath! Then, Ding Sheng relaxed his whole body and let his mind go.
Test it with this breath.
The breath was very cautious at first, perhaps because he was frightened by picking vegetables and cooking, so it disappeared several times. But Ding Sheng did not move, and still quietly relaxed his mind.
After a few hours, the life breath of this medicinal material seemed to feel that Ding Sheng was not hostile to it, and it gradually relaxed a little, slowly approached Ding Sheng, and tried to touch his almost innocent soul.
.
Ding!~~~
There was a strange crisp sound deep in his heart, and the breath of life in the medicinal materials finally blended with Ding Sheng's soul. At this moment, Ding Sheng deeply felt its inner emotions. This emotion is the most direct and most direct.
Frankness is beyond comparison in any communication!
After a long time, this breath of life finally gradually receded, but it took away a trace of reluctance and nostalgia. Ding Sheng also felt spiritual ripples in his heart. At the same time, he grasped the Tao derived from this breath of life.
meaning!
Phew!~~~
Ding Sheng gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, put away the medicinal materials, turned around and returned to the big tree again, looked at the black dragon cauldron and smiled slightly.
Snap!~~~
He slapped the cauldron with both hands continuously, and the medicinal residues in the cauldron flew out one after another. After cleaning it up, Ding Sheng started a new round of alchemy refining again, but this time he had to use his own unique method to refine it. Once he succeeded,
Then he will be the first person in the history of Jindan Sect who can transform the characteristics of second-grade elixirs and Chinese medicinal materials without relying on any spiritual consciousness.
At the same time, he will also be the first refining master who can successfully complete the second-grade intermediate elixir without reaching the level of Wuzong, or... a generation of alchemy master!
