Earth, City C.
Lin Fan returned from the time travel, but found that what was displayed on the screen of his mobile phone was not Qi Zixiao's video message, but a tomb-robbing novel.
"… "
The guy couldn't help but grin, "It seems our Saint is still doing her homework? She went to the Tomb of Ten Thousand Monsters, so she read some tomb-raiding novels just in case?"
"But this is different. Tomb-raiding novels only have some zongzi or something. Compared with the world of cultivating immortals, it is far, far behind..."
Turn off tomb-raiding novels.

“Even though I’ve experienced this many times, every time I see myself on the phone screen talking to myself, I still feel a little weird…”
"I don't know when I can meet her, alas."
In the picture, Qi Zixiao has already spoken.
"I've been to Wu Guodong's place. He solved a cold case from twelve years ago. The process was not complicated, so I don't need to describe it in detail. But one thing is very important!"
Seeing that 'himself' in the video was very serious, Lin Fan couldn't help but become more serious as well.
"If you have time, you can try to solve more cases, especially those where people will be grateful after you solve them. The more people there are, the better!"
"Or, I have a guess. It's not just about solving the case. As long as we do something that benefits the people of the world, there will be huge benefits!"
Having said that, Qi Zixiao hesitated, as if she was not sure and was thinking.
"The earth has no spiritual energy. I have always believed that the heavenly way of the earth is hidden, or that the heavenly way has long ceased to exist."
"But the experience after solving this case made me feel that my guess was wrong. The laws of nature on Earth should still be in operation. I can't explain why, but I can be sure of this."
"Merit! It's also useful on Earth!"
"At the same time, the power of faith can also play a big role on Earth."
"So, you understand, don't you?"
"Also, there is another good news. Over in the greenhouse, the first pearl of spiritual medicine has successfully transformed. The next half month or so will be the peak period of transformation!"
"Goodbye, then."
The video ends.
The amount of information was quite huge. Lin Fan stroked his chin for a moment, quite speechless: "What do I understand? I just understand it?"
So, to put it simply, it means that there is also the Way of Heaven on Earth, and the power of merit and the power of faith both exist.
When my spiritual energy is insufficient, can I use these things to make myself stronger and have a smoother path
"Then the question is, are there no one who believes in those great monks on Earth, or are they not doing enough good things?"
"No... You can't look at it so one-sidedly, because this thing is too mysterious and too profound."
Lin Fan didn’t know much about these things, but one can’t just look at the surface of things.
For example, faith...
Generally speaking, even if it is the abbot of a temple, how many people would believe in him? If they have to believe, they would believe in the gods and Buddhas, right
Apart from this, the question of why no one can become an immortal even though they do good deeds and accumulate virtue... is very simple, because they don’t do enough good deeds and they are not amazing enough!
How can it be so easy to become an immortal
Are you kidding
Moreover, there are all kinds of cause and effect involved, such as the causes in previous lives and the results in this life often mentioned by Buddhists.
If we take all these into account, it will be too complicated.
Lin Fan didn’t understand, but he didn’t need to figure it out. He just needed to know what he should and shouldn’t do.
"In other words, what I need to do now is to work with Wu Guodong to see if there is a suitable case. It would be best if many people would be grateful to me after solving the case..."
"Secondly, do something good?"
"Then what kind of good deeds can be considered as accumulating merit?"
Lin Fan pondered for a moment.
I guess doing good deeds will bring "merit", it's just a matter of how much merit you get. But the merit of ordinary good deeds... I guess it's hard to feel it even if you do eight or ten good deeds.
As for helping an old lady cross the road, there is definitely no merit in doing so.
It is easy to imagine. If merit and virtue were so easy to obtain, then it would not be surprising.
"So... well, let's go to the greenhouse first."
Compared with the illusory merits and the so-called power of faith, the spiritual energy pills are undoubtedly more suitable.
and…
Lin Fan thought about it carefully.
Here comes the question!
Before, because there were no spiritual medicines on Earth, Dan Chengzi was asked to figure out a recipe for making spiritual pills using ordinary medicinal materials.
Now, I have spiritual medicines at home. Although there are not many varieties, can I use these spiritual medicines to refine spiritual pills of 'spiritual medicine' quality
Let Dan Chengzi help modify the recipe, the effect should be better, right? !
But the prerequisite is that he can successfully refine it. After all, he has never really made an elixir. How can he refine elixirs right from the start
I'm afraid it's not that easy to succeed.
"Now that I think about it, it's pretty obvious what I have to do in the next three days."
"Go talk to Old Chen, then get some herbs and try to refine some normal spiritual energy pills. Anyway, I already have my 'alchemy furnace'."
"If the refining is successful, I will ask Dan Chengzi to improve the recipe."
"If you can't make it, then think about it again."
"At the same time, if there is still time after finishing all this, then go find Wu Guodong and try to take on one or two more cases for him to solve."
The goal is obvious~
Lin Fan went out and contacted Zhou Na.
"Sister Na, can I have breakfast with you?"
"Get lost, stop being cute."
Zhou Na laughed and scolded on the phone: "I'm not at home these few days, you can have fun by yourself, I'll find you when I come back."
"Huh? What have you been doing?"
"… Don't let dirty laundry be aired in public, that jerk… ah!"
"Okay, hang up. I still have people to clean up."
The phone was hung up.
Lin Fan was a little confused: "Don't let dirty laundry be aired in public? So how come it's a family scandal? What's wrong?"
"Well, since you're not coming, let's just go eat by ourselves."
He originally wanted to meet with Zhou Na and tell her about the situation in the greenhouse area. After all, with the formation there, no one could get in except himself and Old Chen.
But since Zhou Na is not here for the time being, there is no need to worry about her getting lost.
After breakfast, inside the greenhouse.
Old Chen is squatting there studying the elixir...
The old man is in very good spirits now. After all, he absorbs spiritual energy in the greenhouse every day. His hair, which was originally half white, is now almost all black and shiny.
And because he was in good spirits, Lin Fan didn't know when the old man drove N times and directly moved a lot of experimental instruments, observation instruments and so on into the greenhouse.
For example, there are several high-definition cameras that are always "aiming" at certain spiritual medicines that are undergoing transformation, recording them all the time.
When Lao Chen was doing his own research...
magnifier?!
A number of high-power microscopes were brought in.
After seeing Lin Fan, Old Chen was obviously very excited: "You are out of confinement?"
“… When did I go into seclusion?”
"Hey, I haven't seen you for two days. Don't you cultivators often need to go into seclusion? Didn't you go into seclusion?"
"… "
Lin Fan blinked and said, "Old Chen, I think you should really read less novels. You always go into seclusion because that's because they have high cultivation. My cultivation is just average, okay?"
"Very ordinary?"
Old Chen squinted his eyes and said, "Do you think I believe it or not?"
"Whether you believe it or not, it's the same~"
Lin Fan spread his hands: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Have you discovered anything in the past few days?"
"have!"
"What did you find?" Lin Fan looked at Old Chen with anticipation.
Old Chen shook his head and said: "I found..."
"After ordinary herbs were transformed into elixirs, all vital signs increased by more than ten times! At the same time, their efficacy also increased crazily, and the data increased by geometric multiples!"
"Not only that, they also produce some strange medicinal effects. No, I shouldn't say strange, I should say... new medicinal effects are produced, but I haven't figured out what they are."
"… "
Lin Fan was stunned: "That's it?"
"That's it~"
"Ha, I won't tease you anymore, kid. I know you want to know if you can use scientific methods to combine spiritual energy or something to make the herbs transform into spiritual medicine faster."
"I have also done research in this area, but it is not clear yet and it will take some time."
Old Chen chuckled.
"Okay, Old Chen, you are my teacher. Although I usually call you Old Chen, I still respect you in my heart."
"Is it really okay for you to tease me like this?"
"It's pretty good."
Old Chen was like an old child, secretly happy.
"… "
"That's right."
Seeing that Lin Fan was silent, Old Chen was even happier. He then waved at Lin Fan in a mysterious tone, “Come and take a look at this.”
"What?"
Come closer and take a look.
Old Chen turned on his computer and clicked on a very mysterious picture. He said, "Did you see it?"
"Hmm. And then?"
"Does it feel familiar?"
“???” Lin Fan said nothing.
"Isn't it similar to the maze you set up earlier?"
"It really looks like it." Lin Fan nodded repeatedly.
Is it similar? He knew it was a request, but he couldn't say that the formation was not set up by himself, right? Therefore, he could only follow what Old Chen said.
"That's right. I made this based on the diagram you used when you set up the maze, combined with a lot of knowledge from electricity and physics."
"I call it... a modern-day mini-Phantom Flame."
"… "
"What's the use? Print it out and stick it on someone's forehead. Can it be used to confuse them?"
This was Lin Fan’s first thought.
Could it be possible to create a charm
But he knew very well that it would not be that simple. It was not enough to just draw a picture, but it also required the infusion of spiritual energy!
If not, wouldn't it be enough to just take a drawn talisman and make a batch of copies? Wouldn't that mean everyone on Earth is a talisman master
"Hey, I told you it's a mini version of a maze!" Old Chen emphasized.
