Chapter 600: 326 Spirit Mansion Transformation_2

Fang Yuxin touched the scroll in amazement, but as soon as she placed her hand on it, she sensed something. With a gentle swipe of her fingers, the painting began to move. Fang Yuxin was even more astonished; she discovered that the huge scroll was just like a giant touch screen—she could operate it with light touches. Zoom in, zoom out, or drag... it was truly magical!

Not only that, when she zoomed in on the spirit field and tapped on the mature crops within, a beam of spirit light suddenly shot from her fingertips into the painting. Immediately after, she saw the crops being harvested and automatically entering the warehouse, while the remaining stalks turned to ash and sank into the soil of the spirit field.

Fang Yuxin was completely dumbfounded—this... this was too convenient, wasn’t it? Equally dumbfounded was the Ginseng Spirit Ah Bao. It was bored in the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion; ever since it had buried its body in the medicine field, it would idly wander around. It happened to be in the spirit field at the moment, sneakily picking ripe fruits to eat when, not far away, a swath of crops just vanished without a trace, scaring it so much that its face turned white. Thinking it was discovered by Fang Yuxin, it dove into the ground and escaped!

Fang Yuxin saw Ah Bao but didn’t bother with it. What she cared about more was the Alchemy Room in front of her. She figured out how to use the giant painting on the wall and ignored it, turning her attention to the other three walls.

The other three walls held huge wooden racks, and the scene looked magnificent. One wall held numerous, different-sized jade bottles, another was filled with densely packed jade scrolls, and the final wall displayed many jade boxes.

Below each jade bottle, jade scroll, and jade box hung a small wooden plaque, labeling what each thing was. Fang Yuxin examined them and found that most of the jade bottles and boxes were nearly empty, but the jade scrolls contained various alchemy techniques and insights.

She thought for a bit, placed the spiritual medicine she had previously picked in their corresponding spots, and then started to examine the jade scrolls. Upon inspection, she found prohibitions were set on the scrolls—to such an extent that those with insufficient cultivation couldn’t lift them at all. The scrolls she could handle were only those usable by someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Qi Refinement Realm.

It was impossible to do without elixirs for cultivation—some replenished True Qi and True Yuan, some were for healing, some aided in promotion, and others were for battling others. There were many kinds, a great variety. However, not just anyone could practice alchemy. Besides the essential Fire Seed, Pill Furnace, Elixir Recipe, and Spiritual Medicine, it also depended on the person. Some had an innate talent, picking up on alchemy easily, while others possessed certain special body constitutions, which granted them a natural advantage in controlling medical properties and flames.

Fang Yuxin, with her Pure Wood Spirit Body, belonged to those who had a special body constitution suitable for alchemy. She had a unique affinity with plants and controlled spiritual medicine with ease.

After reading through the jade scrolls, Fang Yuxin decided to try her hand at alchemy. The world she was in suffered from a scarcity of spiritual energy, ill-suited for cultivation. If it wasn’t for her acquiring the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion and the energy surge caused by the Outer Space Meteorite, which resulted in a mass emergence of spiritual energy on the planet, it would have been impossible for Fang Yuxin to achieve Foundation Establishment so rapidly, merely over the course of two short months.

Yet even so, if they wanted to continue cultivating, elixirs were necessary! It so happened that the spiritual medicine she gathered this time was mostly for concocting elixirs used during the Foundation Establishment Stage, which showed that the master of Qingmu Spiritual Mansion had planned it all in advance.

Fang Yuxin pondered a bit—being a Pure Wood Spirit Body, she had an advantage in alchemy, and even though her mother, Qu Qianhe, wasn’t of a special body constitution, she had Fire Wood Dual Spiritual Roots, which was also quite suitable for alchemy, so it was worth a try.

There was no rush to refine elixirs; having made up her mind, Fang Yuxin prepared to first leave the Alchemy Room to see if she could open other rooms. She had a feeling that now she had successfully established her foundation, she should also be able to open the other rooms.

All four walls of the stone room were occupied, with no gaps, but the floor of the Alchemy Room was a different matter. The floor was like that of the main hall they had previously entered, arranged with complex formations. With Fang Yuxin’s current understanding, she could roughly make out both a Spirit Gathering Array and a Fire-gathering Array. She guessed that beneath the floor of the Alchemy Room must be a sealed Fire Seed; placing the Pill Furnace on the Fire-gathering Array and injecting True Yuan should make the flames appear.

Pill Masters consume a lot during alchemy, which is why they need to sit cross-legged on the Spirit Gathering Array, continuously absorbing spiritual energy to compensate for the depletion. Otherwise, once the True Essence Power runs out and the elixir is not yet successfully refined, then that batch of elixirs would be wasted.

Fang Yuxin searched carefully and indeed found a rune among the complex runes. This rune was very similar to the one on the door of the Alchemy Room, with only minor differences. Fang Yuxin guessed this must lead to the exit. When her True Yuan was injected, as expected, the rune lit up and white light appeared in front of her. In the blink of an eye, as the world spun around her, she was back on the ground in front of the Alchemy Room’s entrance.

The rest of the Fang Family had been browsing through materials taken from the Secret Research Institute; harmful stuff was naturally destroyed immediately, but some research papers were meaningful and kept. While they were busy, Fang Yuxin suddenly disappeared from the entrance to the Alchemy Room, giving them quite a scare!

Thankfully, the three of them had now embarked on the Immortal Path and could guess that Fang Yuxin had probably entered the Alchemy Room, albeit in an unusual way, so they waited patiently. Sure enough, an hour later, Fang Yuxin appeared again.

The three heaved a sigh of relief but still asked, "Xinxin, are you okay in there?"

Fang Yuxin shook her head and briefly explained the situation in the Alchemy Room to her family before voicing her speculation, "Dad, Mom, Brother, I think the other rooms should also be openable now. I’ll try the Artifact Room first; since, aside from Bai Ye, none of us have suitable weapons. If we can find weapons to use in the Artifact Room, we will be more confident when we leave the Beishi Base."
