The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

"The research direction of all the alchemists is the field of cultivation." Ye Qianxuan said:

"Yes, spiritual energy, the essence of the sun and the moon, and other things do exist in this world today, but alchemy is alchemy, it is not spiritual practice, so trying to add these things to refine high-grade or even top-grade medicinal silver or elixirs is itself a fantasy."

The Taoist Admiral Liu Jie stood up and said in a deep voice, "Master Ye, you are wrong!"

"All top-grade elixirs are made by high-level cultivators!"

"If what you said is true, alchemy has nothing to do with cultivation."

"Doesn't that mean that a three-year-old child can refine top-grade or even high-grade elixirs as long as he uses the right method?!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded, and there was a lot of doubt and dissatisfaction in their eyes when they looked at Ye Qianxuan.

Even the Third Uncle of Tianzong couldn't help but cheer in his heart!

This Eastern Zhou Dynasty alchemist was absolutely right!

The empress also frowned slightly. Although she thought Ye Qianxuan was very powerful, even she felt that these words were a little wrong. They simply went against everyone's common sense about alchemy.

Ye Nianxi also shook her head slightly. It turned out that her younger brother was still a little lacking in quality.

Everyone's eyes were now fixed on Ye Qianxuan, wanting to see what he would say next.

"Then according to Admiral Liu, only high-level cultivators can refine top-quality items, right?" Ye Qianxuan asked with a slight smile.

"Of course!" Liu Jie nodded affirmatively. This is an indisputable fact in the world!

"Then Princess Nine, what is your rank?" Ye Qianxuan turned and looked at An Luowei.

"The peak of the transformation realm."

"Have you managed to refine top-grade medicinal silver?"

"It's been refined."

After An Luowei finished speaking, Ye Qianxuan spread his hands towards everyone, his expression as if saying - "What do you think?"

This really shut everyone up.

Indeed, the Ninth Princess was only at the peak of the Transformation Realm, so hadn't she also refined top-grade medicinal silver?!

This proves that there is no necessary connection between alchemy and spiritual practice.

They all looked at each other.

The main thing is that what Ye Qianxuan said was really shocking.

It is simply subverting the worldview of the alchemists.

Tianzong's third uncle's face also turned red and he was speechless.

The empress also nodded with satisfaction, her beautiful eyes always fixed on Ye Qianxuan.

Ye Nianxi frowned, wanting to hear Ye Qianxuan continue.

"If you still think what I said is wrong, let me give you a more understandable truth."

"We extract metals from ores and make elixirs from medicinal herbs, right?"

“But even if we add more spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and moon, we cannot extract elixirs from metals, nor can we extract metals from medicinal herbs.”

After Ye Qianxuan finished speaking, he spread his hands and asked, "Why?"

"Medicinal herbs are medicinal herbs, and minerals are minerals. Mr. Ye, isn't what you're asking nonsense?"

"That's right! If metals can be extracted from medicinal herbs, then doesn't that mean we can extract gold and silver from rice?"

"Master Ye! Your question is something that even an idiot knows. We don't bother to answer it!"

Everyone spoke in confusion.

In the eyes of these alchemists, Ye Qianxuan's question seemed to be asking—

Why does the sun rise in the east?

Why do people need to breathe?

Why are there twelve hours in a day?

Why else!

That's how it is!

This is the law of this world!

How do we answer?!

The white-robed magicians were whispering to each other, clamoring in a chaotic manner that Ye Qianxuan's level was too low for him to ask such a question.

But the admiral was stunned where he was, and he vaguely felt that he touched something.

Tianzong's third uncle was struck by lightning. He stood there, staring at Ye Qianxuan in a daze.

"quiet!"

Empress An Luoyu gave a light shout, and then everyone in the audience turned around and saw her!

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The alchemists were so frightened that sweat broke out on their foreheads and they fell to their knees in an instant.

When did the Empress come?

But only Admiral Liu Jie and Third Uncle Tianzong were standing!

They all stared at Ye Qianxuan, their faces flushed and their breathing rapid, even ignoring the Empress: "Speak, speak quickly!"

The alchemists then realized that Ye Qianxuan was probably not asking an idiotic question, but a question that truly touched upon the knowledge of the laws of alchemy.

Ye Qianxuan looked past the alchemists and saw the empress from a distance, and his heart sank.

The empress nodded slightly at Ye Qianxuan, indicating that he should continue.

Then Ye Qianxuan will not be polite.

He took a deep breath, continued to act cool and completed the task assigned to him by the Empress, and said:

"This is the key point I want to share with you in this lecture."

Ye Qianxuan was well versed in the essence of fragmentation. He paused here deliberately and faced the Taoist priests' eager eyes for knowledge with a smile.

He glanced outside the door and saw that even the Third Grandmaster Jin Bei of Tianzong was looking at him with rapid breathing.

Ye Nianxi's expression was stunned, as if she had never thought that Ye Qianxuan had such ability.

The empress smiled slightly, and was very satisfied with Ye Qianxuan's expression so far.

"Say it quickly!"

The Third Uncle of Tianzong had a quick temper. When Ye Qianxuan interrupted the story like that, he almost jumped up and down in anger!

Ye Qianxuan coughed, and said, no longer keeping the secret:

"Among all things, there are some very tiny substances, which constitute the myriad worlds we see."

"There are connections and patterns between these substances."

"Their rearrangement can generate new objects."

"That's the essence of alchemy."

“But spiritual energy, the essence of the sun and the moon, do not contain these subtle substances.”

“So joining in on it would be useless.”

"And as everyone says, rice cannot be refined into metal, and metal cannot be refined into medicinal herbs. It is only through a certain subtle substance that a higher-grade item of the same subtle substance can be refined."

“This is an equal exchange.”

Ye Qianxuan tried his best to express himself in simple and easy-to-understand terms, without using chemical terms such as "atom", which would only make it more difficult for this group of people to understand.

The eyes of the alchemists present were sparkling with excitement.

Lian Tianzong's third uncle took out a small notebook from his arms and started taking notes.

Because they are extremely clear about the value of this knowledge.

The essence of alchemy is to rearrange and combine objects with subtle substances.

Objects without subtle matter cannot participate in alchemy because they do not provide anything. This is equal exchange.

This theory completely overturns the common sense of alchemy!

Although Ye Nianxi was born in poverty, she had followed the King of Zhenbei for so many years and had met many alchemists.

So even she realized that what Ye Qianxuan was talking about at this moment was a very advanced secret technique in the field of alchemy.

Ye Nianxi found it hard to imagine how her dull and useless brother could become so powerful!

Everyone thinks you are not good enough, but you are the most competitive!

The empress, who was of noble status, also stood there and listened attentively.

As a high-level cultivator, she has a strong interest in the theories that Ye Qianxuan talked about.

And the ninth princess, An Luowei, had a pair of big, kazilan eyes that were already twinkling with stars.

Everyone was looking forward to Ye Qianxuan continuing to speak!
