Dou Po: The Alchemist from the Ye Family

Xuan Kongzi was not surprised by Ye Chen's answer. After all, the Ye family is also a family of alchemists with a long tradition. The founder of the mountain is also an eighth-level alchemist. He will definitely have records about the realm of souls.

It’s just that the disappearance of the ancestor of the Ye family was too strange and too sudden, which also resulted in many things not being left behind. Therefore, many deep-seated things are only half-understood by the Ye family.

Ye Chen didn't mean to show off, he just honestly told what he heard from his ancestor Ye Xun about the realm of the soul...

Well, it is indeed quite simple.

After Xuan Kongzi made a judgment in his mind, he didn't say anything, but directly began to explain to Ye Chen in detail.

"Speaking of the realm of the soul, we have to mention the ancient times. Only the alchemists at that time could divide the realm of the soul in such detail. But today's descendants, for such a mysterious and mysterious thing as the soul, if ordinary people only

It is impossible to change along with it, even to control it; even before, you only knew how to control the power of the soul, but you did not understand it very well..."

Ye Chen also agrees with this very much. Not to mention ordinary people, even 90% of today's alchemists rely on their soul power to increase every time their cultivation reaches a greater level. This leads to

Soul power can never be improved without one's own cultivation level.

It is already very difficult to improve the level of an alchemist, and now there are the shackles of Dou Qi, which directly makes the difficulty of upgrading the level of the alchemist several times higher. This is the main reason why even seventh-grade alchemists are so rare nowadays!

"You are born with strong soul power, so you have not encountered any bottlenecks in this area. Therefore, many of the difficulties encountered by ordinary alchemists have never appeared in you. This is your advantage, but it is also a disadvantage..." Xuan

Kongzi took the opportunity to teach.

"If this journey is too smooth, although you can fully realize your potential, it will be difficult to break through the limit of your potential..."

Speaking of this, the figure appeared in Xuan Kongzi's mind again.

If you really want to talk about it, he and Xuan Yi both became the core disciples of the Little Dan Pagoda very early. The journey along the way can be said to be similar to that of Ye Chen today, growing up smoothly.

Until I met that person...

Sighing and shaking his head, Xuan Kongzi took back his memories.

In fact, what he didn't know was that during the time Xuan Kongzi recalled, two people also appeared in Ye Chen's mind...

Cao Ying and Xiao Yan...

Isn't the growth experience of these two people the best proof of what Xuan Kongzi said?

Xiao Yan's journey can be said to be full of difficulties and dangers. He has encountered almost all the difficulties that the protagonist in the novel can encounter...

The engagement was broken off, the clan was exterminated, the father was arrested, the teacher was arrested, and the family who liked girls looked down upon...

Well, I suddenly discovered that this guy is really miserable. Although he pretended to be cool in the end, his suffering was real.

In comparison, Cao Ying has been a treasure in the hands of the Cao family since she was a child. She joined the Danta Pagoda as a teenager and became a disciple of the Danta President. In less than ten years, she has grown to an eighth-level alchemist and the next Danta Pagoda.

The most powerful competitor of the giant...

From the perspective of people on Douqi Continent, he is a sure winner in life!

But the final result is very clear. In the Dan Club, Cao Ying, who was the most popular, was defeated by Xiao Yan without any resistance. The latter even performed far better than her, directly defeating old man Mu Gu.

The older generation was all screwed.

Is the reason for this because Cao Ying is not as talented as Xiao Yan in refining medicine?

Of course not!

The reason is that the two have different experiences and mentality. Cao Ying does not have Xiao Yan's desperate will to achieve his goals!

These things are not innate and can only be obtained through acquired growth.

…

…

Xuan Kongzi came back to his senses, smiled apologetically at Ye Chen, and said: "Haha, when people get old, they always like to recall the past, but it makes you laugh, little guy."

Ye Chen quickly bowed and saluted, and said sincerely: "Teacher, your words are serious. Your words are like enlightenment to the disciples. They are all good words. I would like to thank the teacher for your teaching..."

"Hahaha..." Xuan Kongzi laughed, suddenly realizing that his disciple was quite good at speaking well.

Although as the president of the Danta Pagoda, I have heard a lot of flattery in my daily life, but if the person who said these words was my direct disciple, my mood would naturally be very different.

This is a human's instinctive reaction to closeness and distance. Even if you reach a state like Xuan Kongzi's, you are naturally not immune to this.

"Okay, let's get down to business..."

Xuan Kongzi suppressed his smile and continued to explain.

"Since you have heard of spiritual realm souls, you should know that the biggest difference between eighth-grade elixirs and seventh-grade elixirs lies in the word 'spirit'...

As an alchemist, if you want to refine elixirs with 'spirituality', you must also have huge spiritual energy in your own soul, so that you can 'empower' the elixirs with spirit."

Looking at Ye Chen's thoughtful look, Xuan Kongzi smiled slightly and continued: "Strictly speaking, there are no levels of human soul power, but there are realms. In other words, a seventh-grade person

An alchemist may have a very high soul value and very good alchemy skills, but even so, he may not be able to refine an eighth-grade elixir in his lifetime..."

This was the case for the deceased Ye Xun, the ancestor of the Ye family!

When he was still alive, he was recognized as the first person among the eighth-grade alchemists! Even in terms of alchemy, even some eighth-grade alchemists could only feel inferior...

But throughout his life, he failed to advance to the eighth rank and shine on his family. In the end, he could only exhaust his soul and pass away with regret.

"But the soul realm is above the spiritual realm, and there is also the heaven realm..." At this point, Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but pause again, with a look of regret on his face.

"If the spiritual realm can be improved through practice, then the heavenly realm can only be achieved by chance..."

Only when the soul realm reaches the heavenly realm can the ninth-grade elixir be refined, and now Xuan Kongzi has been trapped at the eighth-grade peak for hundreds of years and cannot go any further. The reason is precisely because of this heavenly realm soul...

I don’t know whether he was afraid that his words would dampen his disciple’s enthusiasm, so Xuan Kongzi turned around and said: “But you are still young and have unlimited potential. Even the teacher and I are far inferior to you at your age, so

You don’t have to be discouraged, maybe this opportunity will come at some point in the future..."
