Chapter 379: Assembly Line Production

Huaxia Mythology was the broadest and the most profound, with the records of countless legends.

According to records, ancient Huaxia cultivators paid particular attention to defying the heavens to cultivate. They had a total of four great methods: pills, formations, treasures, and talismans.

Alchemy was ranked first.

Alchemy could seize good fortune from the heavens and earth and insert the luck into medicinal substance, creating alchemy pills with wondrous effects. This was the most effective method for ancient cultivators to increase their cultivation.

After so many years of excavating mythological ruins, more and more ancient knowledge was being restored. But even so, huge blanks still covered across numerous fields of knowledge.

Even up until now, Feng Lin hadn’t heard of anyone else understanding alchemy.

And as for that complete inheritance he had gained, it might very well be one of the peak-tier alchemy inheritance from the ancient Huaxia Mythology Era. Its value was priceless.

If this was leaked, the consequences would surely be unimaginably dire.

Given his current strength, he wouldn’t be able to protect himself for sure if his secret was leaked.

Right now, the situation was extremely urgent. The spirit race was hunting them down and there was no point for him to reveal this at all.

Also, because the requirements of alchemy were extremely strict, the other freshmen definitely wouldn’t be able to learn it within such a short period. He would only have revealed his secret for nothing if he did so.

But now, with his mythology-style medicinal refinement technique, he didn’t need to worry about this. He would be able to simplify the wondrous effects of alchemy, distilling their essence into the simpler and more basic medicinal refinement art.

Alchemy was boundlessly profound. Although it might be simplified, its potency would surely far surpass ordinary potions.

The crimson refinement cinnabar pill was normally a red-color pill. Now that it was simplified into crystals, it became a pile of much smaller crystals that were extremely unstable. They couldn’t come in contact with the external world and could only be sealed in vacuum test tubes.

These small crystals contained the violence of gunpowder; it felt extraordinary.

“Since these are medicinal crystals, it’s no longer apt to name them as crimson refinement cinnabar pills. We will call it crimson refinement gunpowder instead.” Feng Lin smiled as he thought of a name.

He then recorded down the entire process of creation except for the final crystallization step.

The other parts of the medicinal refinement could be handled by others, but the last step was the most crucial one. He had to have absolute control of it and wouldn’t leak it to anyone.

Only so would he be able to prevent others from stealing the concoction method.

Without the medicinal crystallization technique, the solution wouldn’t be able to replicate the original effect of the cinnabar pills.

When he thought of this, he then grabbed the test tubes of crimson refinement gunpowder and walked out, gathering the freshmen.

“Captain, is there something you need from us?’

“Could it be that he has a new discovery?”

“Who knows? Let’s see what he wants.”

…

The gazes of everyone turned to Feng Lin as they discussed in low voices.

Feng Lin swept his gaze over to everyone and calmly spoke, “Who among you are geneticists? Step forward!”

“I am one.”

“Me too!”

…

Very soon, the freshmen replied.

Out of over 300 people, there was actually a total of 30 geneticists.

This ratio was truly frightening.

Even Feng Lin hadn’t expected this.

Geneticists all had a certain level of understanding with regards to genetic knowledge. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to compare to them. Out of 1,000 cultivators, there might not even be one geneticist.

Yet, 10% of the people here were actually geneticists! The ratio was extremely high.

As expected of the students of the Great Wall University, all of them had outstanding potential.

If a cultivator wished to grow in strength rapidly, they couldn’t be lacking in the four principles of wealth, companion, law, and earth. Without sufficient resources, no matter how talented one was, it would be tough for them to reach the peak.

Feng Lin understood this point very well.

If it weren’t for him being a geneticist and an alchemist, given his background, it would have been impossible for him to have sufficient accumulations during the start of his cultivation phase and walk out from Earth.

“What grades of refiners are you all?” Feng Lin asked.

“I’m an initial-grade medicinal refiner.”

“Mid-grade here.”

“I’m of the high-grade.”

…

The geneticists glanced at each other and replied.

In total, there were two high-grade medicinal refiners, eight mid-grades, and twenty low-grades!”

After an initial count, joy appeared on Feng Lin’s face. He felt that his plan now had a high chance of success.

If he could combine the strength of these thirty geneticists and use them well, the result would surely surpass his imaginations.

“This is a medicinal recipe I’ve done some research and modifications to. Look over it and quickly began to refine the ingredients. These genetic potions would be extremely important for us, and we have to depend on it to deal with the spirit race!” stated Feng Lin straightforwardly as he passed the recipe of the crimson refinement gunpowder to them.

“Captain, did you use this earlier to destroy the previous small team of spirit lifeforms? Is the medicinal recipe mature yet? You do things so quickly!” Everyone was stunned.

“Indeed.” Feng Lin nodded in reply to the first question.

After that, everyone grew increasingly curious.

What medicinal recipe was this exactly? It could actually injure and kill the spirit lifeforms. This was simply incredible.

Those geneticists quickly opened up the recipe and studied it. At the next instant, their eyes widened so much that their eyeballs nearly popped out.

“What? medicinal refinement techniques can do this?”

“A genetic potion with killing might. Is this still a genetic potion?”

“This is a medicinal refinement recipe that has no soul to it.”

“Who cares about that? If this recipe is true and can really counter the spirit race, it would truly be unbelievable. It would surely usher in a brand new school of thought for geneticists!”

…

Those geneticists had looks of disbelief on their faces. It was like a whole new world had opened up before them.

Genetic potions that were originally used to aid cultivation were now used as weapons. In the past, although there were people with creative imaginations who thought about this before, they at most only managed to concoct some poison potions.

For this crimson refinement gunpowder, it innately contained an explosive killing might.

In theory, it was impossible to achieve this. In its liquid form, the potency would be highly unstable and the killing might it contained would be simply insufficient. It wouldn’t be able to unleash its full potential.

Even if the liquid solution was stored in vacuum test tubes, things wouldn’t work out either.

This recipe wasn’t scientific or genetic at all.

“Captain, it isn’t that we doubt you, but this medicinal recipe is simply impossible. It won’t be able to achieve the effects that you state. In fact, what you’ve stated actually contradicts the theory of medicinal refinement!” said one of the high-grade medicinal refiners.

“That’s right.”

“I’ve never heard of something like this before.”

“This isn’t scientific in the slightest.”

…

The other medicinal refiners also nodded.

Indeed. If it was in liquid form, the crimson refinement gunpowder would naturally be ineffective. But how could these people know how wondrous the medicinal crystallization technique was?

“Just follow the instructions in the letter until you achieve the liquid form with the medicinal potency stated in the recipe. After that, pass all the concocted solutions to me,” Feng Lin calmly spoke and didn’t bother to explain further.

Upon seeing how confident he was, those geneticists glanced at each other but no longer said anything else.

After all, they were now in a perilous situation. Their safety depended on Feng Lin, and they truly didn’t have the freedom to doubt him. They could only choose to trust him.

However, this didn’t mean that they had no doubts in their hearts.

(We want to see exactly what method do you have to turn something rotten into something magical. How can you create a potion that has sufficient killing might?)

After that, the geneticists all gathered in the medicinal refinement chamber of the flying shuttle and began their refinement.

Fortunately, the recipe wasn’t overly complex. Under Feng Lin’s careful guidance, these people gradually understood the crux of the recipe and grew increasingly proficient.

Soon, numerous tubes of crimson refinement gunpowder solutions were produced.

All the geneticists focused and gave it their all, producing batches after batches of the red solution.

Low-grade medicinal refiners were responsible for the beginning steps, the handling of the medicinal ingredients. For the mid-grade medicinal refiners, they were in charge of mixing the various ingredients and balancing the medicinal properties to create a certain level of medicinal potency. For high-grade medicinal refiners, they were responsible for monitoring changes to the solution and had to fix the flaws discovered until everything was perfect. The standard operating procedures were already given to them by Feng Lin. With an assembly line like this, the output was much greater compared to when Feng Lin was working alone.

As the production of the crimson refinement gunpowder increased, Feng Lin’s eyes shone with a bright light.

A crazy plan started to form in his mind.
