102 Furnace Alchemy Ar (1/2)

The memories faded and the illusory scene gradually vanished.

Feng Lin stood at his original location, stunned beyond words. A brand new memory appeared in his mind, the Furnace Alchemy Art.

However, he didn't care about this now. He could still see the mysterious smile of that old man and his words which caused Feng Lin's heart to tremble.

Was that a coincidence?

Feng Lin shook his head.

Although their gazes matched for just an instant, he was sure that he didn't see it wrongly.

That old man exuding an air of immortality intentionally ignored the puzzlement of his students and explained the common knowledge of their sect to him.

After speaking, maybe the old man had already achieved his objectives. He changed the topic and started to speak about the most famous pill concoction technique in the Furnace Immortal Sect, the Furnace Alchemy Art.

This was a pill concoction method that could control the energy of heaven and earth, using Yin and Yang as fire, refining the multitude of living things in the world. It had incredibly wondrous effects and was the foundation of all of the Furnace Immortal Sect's alchemy methods.

No matter which alchemy methods of the sect, regardless of their grade, they were all evolved from this foundation art. This was how the multitude of dao scriptures were evolved from the sacred text of Daoism from Lao-Tze.

Feng Lin immersed himself, sighing with admiration as he concentrated. When he finally managed to engrave this technique in his mind, all the images from the memories had already completely faded.

He recalled the strange actions and the gaze of that old man earlier as a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

Earlier in that memory, all the words and actions of that old man were done and spoken for the sake of a single person…

And that person was none other than Feng Lin!

This thinking was extremely crazy and audacious. Even after Feng Lin concluded that it was true, he was still extremely frightened, yet he completely believed his conclusion.

This was especially true at the very end before the illusory scenes completely vanished. This old man had whispered into his mind. ”Man from the future, the Great Calamity of the Annihilation of Laws will soon descend upon the world. I'll hand over the inheritance of my Furnace Immortal Sect to you, and you will be the one responsible for spreading it now.”

In the myths and legends of ancient china, those powerful cultivators were able to cultivate to a state where they became existences equal to gods and devils. At that time, they would be able to peer through time and gain an inkling of what the future would hold, allowing them to see through heavenly fate. Could that old man be an existence like that?

However, being able to predict a calamity that is millions of years later, didn't that sound like too much of an exaggeration?! If that's true, it means that the strength of the old man wouldn't be considered weak even among gods and devils!

But what does the words 'Great Calamity of the Annihilation of Laws' mean?

...

Feng Lin felt an unbearable itch in his heart. He felt that he had faintly come in contact with the truth of ancient myths and legends. However, many things were still obscure to him, and he still couldn't be sure of anything yet.

Many speculations arose in his mind, but he had no way to accurately deduce anything.

All of a sudden, he seemed to have sensed something. His expression tightened as he sent out all his mental energy, forming them into needles that ruthlessly pierced into the crystal lifeforms.

Those crystal lifeforms let out cries of despair but very soon, their life aura faded away completely.

Cold sweat dripped from Feng Lin's forehead. He was forcibly using his mental energy to destroy the consciousness of these crystal lifeforms, killing them all.

Earlier, because of carelessness, Feng Lin revealed his shock too openly.

For those who had strengthened their Mental Genes to a certain extent, they would be able to use their metal perception to probe the secret of this ancient divine medicine. He had no way to hide this, but it was impossible for Feng Lin to allow people like Frank and Aike from the white race to obtain this inheritance.

Since they weren't from his own race, their intention would surely be different.

For the inheritance left behind by that old ancestor, as a junior, he naturally had to protect it well. He wasn't going to allow people with malicious intentions to obtain it.

As to what he should say in explanation later, Feng Lin already had a strategy.

After obtaining the inheritance of the Furnace Alchemy Art, Feng Lin wasn't in a hurry to leave. He immediately started his research.

He calmed himself down and continued to act like how he had done earlier, taking down notes periodically. However, he was silently musing in his heart at what he had obtained through this fortuitous encounter.

So it turned out that the paste-like substance wasn't an ancient divine medicine. It was just a unique magic pill from the Furnace Immortal Sect known as the Grandmist Fate Pill.

According to the cultivation theory of the Furnace Immortal Sect, the human body was made up of 60 trillion grandmist worms.

This Grandmist Fate Pill could allow the medicinal potency to seep into each and every grandmist worm, allowing humans to transcend themselves, reforging them anew. The great potential in their bodies would be stimulated as their vitality stats would instantly reach a much greater height than before.

60 trillion grandmist worms?

Isn't that the same number as the cells in the human body?

Could it be that grandmist worms were referring to the cells in human bodies?

...

Feng Lin silently speculated, feeling that this was highly possible.

The civilization of myths and legends didn't belong to the same system as the civilization of science. Although their research of the human body had reached an extremely high level, the same object might not be called using the same term. For example, cells were known as 'grandmist worms' in the civilization of myths and legends. And earlier, that old man in the memory referred to 'bio-magnetic fields' as 'destiny'...

Feng Lin didn't make a big fuss about all these and worry himself over the small details. Wild joy painted his countenance instead. From the pill concoction technique, he had already discovered that magic pills might contain an overwhelming amout of medicinal strength, but there was a way for ordinary humans to consume it.

There was a total of two reasons.

Firstly, the shape of the pill was a perfect sphere-shape. This was an extremely logical structure. It was able to lock the full medicinal potency within, and the moment the pill entered the stomach, all the medicinal potency wouldn't flood out in an instant. The pill would release the medicinal potency bit by bit, allowing it to seep through the entire body slowly. The human body wouldn't have to bear too great of a burden then.

Secondly, alchemy was considered a method of seizing fate. Each and every magic pill concocted was a little life, and they were able to emit their own bio-magnetic fields, capable of adapting to different human bodies. This was somewhat similar to hypnotism.

Through these discoveries, Feng Lin realized that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was completely on the wrong path.

Because genetic potion theory of the current era belonged to a system that was entirely different from alchemy theory. There were only relatively few common points.

For genetic potion theory, its origins were from western mythologies of Ancient Earth Era. The theory had been formed from development of interstellar science and technology, paying attention to the analysis of medical effects, further modulating the efficacy of the medicine step by step.

As for alchemy (pill concoction), its core theory was life creation. It was seen as a simulation of cosmic creation where miniature lifeforms could be created, able to become a part of nature.

Alchemy and genetic potions were two completely different theoretical systems. By just purely imitating the ancient divine medicine's effect, it was impossible to obtain the true divine charm of alchemy.
