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.
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."
