Chapter 2567 Twin Reflections Of Alchemical Arts

Days turned into weeks as Lin Mu engrossed himself in sorting through the memories of the Withered Spirit Daoist.

He focused intently on the woman's experiences and the vast wealth of knowledge she had accumulated over her two million years of life. It was safe to say that Lin Mu had learned countless things and meticulously recorded them in his mind.

The information he gained included details about precious resources, cultivation techniques, martial skills, rare materials, herbs, flowers, fruits, and much more.

One particularly valuable area of knowledge was Alchemical Pill refinement. The Withered Spirit Daoist—once a disciple of an Alchemy sect—had extensive insights into the subject. Though she claimed she never achieved mastery by her own standards, her skills were still far superior to those of an Immortal Realm alchemist.

Her cultivation technique, which allowed her to gain comprehension of the Withering Dao, also originated from her sect's teachings. The technique was derived from something called the Twin Reflections of Alchemical Arts, a refinement path unique to the White Bottle Sect.

The Twin Reflections of Alchemical Arts was a top-grade technique that was both profound and flexible. At its core, it revolved around the principles of Growth and Decay—aspects crucial to alchemical refinement. By harnessing these dual aspects, alchemists could manipulate herbs, materials, and energies to refine pills with extraordinary precision.

For instance, the Growth aspect could be seen as an additive property—utilizing complementary elements such as wood and fire—while the Decay aspect employed destructive properties, such as fire reducing wood. By balancing these forces, an alchemist could unlock the full potential of their materials.

However, when it came to cultivating this technique, one had to choose a single path—either Growth or Decay—and pursue it to its extreme.

The Withered Spirit Daoist had chosen the path of Decay, which ultimately led her to comprehend the Withering Dao—a power that could only be attained by constantly flirting with death and losing one's vitality over time.
