Chen Yang threw down the book in his hand, looked at another one, read again, and threw it away again.
Keep repeating.
In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with all kinds of alchemy books.
Of course, calling it Dan Shu is an insult to the word Dan.
These books are basically all about the study of elixirs by some lonely cultivators. In essence, they are similar to the hundreds of ways to take elixirs that Chen Yang has seen. They are purely money-saving methods that have been thought up by poor people.
The focus of Chen Yang's interest was not in the alchemy books themselves, but in the emphasis of these alchemy books, as well as the various marks and annotations made by Chen Wang on the books.
During the process, the Five Blessed Boys returned.
Chen Yang didn't even bother to see if they had gained anything. He waved his hand and told them to stay and play for now.
He continued to immerse himself in these alchemy books, trying his best to capture a ray of inspiration.
In Chen Yang's opinion, this is a hundred times more important than the sect's mission.
Gradually, more and more books piled up at Chen Yang's feet, so much that they could submerge his calves.
The bookshelves around me were all empty.
At the end, Chen Yang stopped reading and closed his eyes, letting everything he had seen before flow through his mind like a waterfall.
After a while, he slowly exhaled and said to himself:
"As expected!"
"This Chen Wang...I really underestimated him."
Chen Yang shook his head in annoyance: "As expected, you can't underestimate anyone."
"Even a worthless cultivator who is just waiting to die has treasures on his body."
"It's just that this treasure is covered in dust."
"What a pity."
Chen Yang quickly walked to the wall on the side, stretched out his hand in the air, and used his finger as a pen to draw one line at a time.
In the blink of an eye, lines of text appeared on the wall.
For Lingxincao, the substitutes are 10-year ox heart, 10-year pig heart, 10-year dog heart, supplemented by Polygonatum;
For Mingmu sand, substitutes include cow's tears, willow leaves, rice that has been buried in graves, supplemented by bat guano;
For Zihe Che, the substitutes are pig placenta, umbilical cord blood, pig milk, supplemented by Liuwei Dihuang Pills.
...
All of these are alternatives to various common alchemy herbs and spiritual materials.
All the books collected by Chen Wang and all the notes he made on them are related to the substitution of spiritual objects.
If it were just like this, Chen Yang wouldn't even take a second look.
That is very useful for casual cultivators, but for a sect disciple like him, it is not worth mentioning.
If he has the ability to study, Chen Yang might as well go on two more sect missions and exchange the sect's contribution for real spiritual objects, or simply exchange for elixirs.
It saves time and effort and is more effective.
With the Yin Mo Sect’s background, what should I exchange for it?
What Chen Yang really cares about, what he thinks is a pearl covered in dust, is certainly not this thing.
It was something he noticed when he read the third book.
Chen Wang collects and studies these, what he wants is not the alternatives, but what is common among all the different alternatives.
In other words, the reason why spiritual objects can be used to make elixirs is that ordinary things can be reluctantly replaced to reduce the cost of the effects, so that the elixirs can be made.
This "essence" is what Chen Wang seeks.
Originally, this was not a low-level issue like Chen Wang's. No, it was an issue that a wild alchemist with no level should consider.
