Chapter 5285: Difficult to Find

In order to save time and to ensure the formation can be successfully constructed, Zuo Feng chose those runes that looked very familiar to him.

Zuo Feng always had a love-hate relationship with the second layer of the nanocrystal. You know, the many classics in the nanocrystal are absolutely very valuable. If you take out any of them and put them outside, they will be sought after by all parties, and even fought for with all your strength.

How could Zuo Feng not like such precious classics? But the key to the problem is that there are too many contents in such precious classics that Zuo Feng can't understand at all. Even if you can understand the part, it is not easy to learn further.

This feeling is like a child who suddenly broke into a gold mine. The smallest piece of gold on the ground weighs dozens of pounds. No matter how hard you try, you still can't move the gold nuggets out. This kind of pain is absolutely indescribable in words.

Although it is difficult to master, Zuo Feng is born with a hard bone, and he will not bow his head easily, especially he knows clearly that the contents of these books have value beyond imagination.

Since he couldn't master it completely, Zuo Feng used the simplest method, which was also the most difficult method, to study the contents of the classics.

He started from the beginning, from the most basic part involved in the classics, and studied word by word. If you can't understand a sentence, then start learning from this sentence. If you don't understand a word, then start with this word.

The most powerful thing is that Zuo Feng can put everything aside and start completely according to the most basic part. He wanted to learn alchemy, but he was not qualified to learn ancient prescriptions, so he simply started to learn ancient medicines, starting from the medicinal properties and characteristics of an ancient medicine.

Fortunately, Zuo Feng followed his master's wife Zhuang Yu and learned the method of making medicine powder, which is the basic means of refining ancient medicines. Although it is different from the original ancient medicine production after continuous adjustments and modifications by later generations, some core contents are still retained.

It seems that Zuo Feng has not made a breakthrough in alchemy for a long time. Even when refining some medicines, he will make mistakes, which will cause the medicine that could have been successfully refined to fail.

According to the classification of pharmacists, Zuo Feng's performance is enough to cause his pharmacist level to drop. Fortunately, Yao Xun is not around, otherwise he might be angry with Zuo Feng's performance.

Zuo Feng did not feel anything wrong about this, because on the surface, it seems that his pharmacist level has dropped, but in fact he is in a special state.

It is a collision of differences and contradictions between refining ancient medicines and current conventional medicine refining. There is no pharmacist in the world who has truly experienced the transition from refining ancient medicines to conventional medicine refining today. This spans countless years, and countless generations have been constantly modifying and adjusting according to natural conditions.

After learning the current conventional medicine refining, Zuo Feng now began to learn ancient medicine refining. The contradictions between them naturally broke out on Zuo Feng.

The differences between the two medicine refining techniques, some of which are even contradictory, are now concentrated on Zuo Feng. In this process, Zuo Feng has no methods to learn from, no experience to use, and no one can give guidance. Everything can only be resolved and reconciled by himself.

Just thinking about all this is already very overwhelming, not to mention that Zuo Feng has to do it step by step, step by step to resolve these differences and contradictions.

Even Zuo Feng himself did not notice that he was actually doing a feat that had never been done before and would never be done again. Perhaps on the surface, Zuo Feng's alchemy skills will still decline, and it is not even known to what extent it will decline, but as long as one day Zuo Feng can successfully integrate the two alchemy techniques, he may become the existence of the entire Kunxuan Continent, who has never been seen before, and may even never be seen again.

Regarding alchemy, Zuo Feng has at least been able to get in touch with the production of medicinal powder during the learning process, which is now called the "method of mixing medicine".

However, in terms of refining, Zuo Feng has almost made no progress, because regarding the refining of ancient medicines, there is still a medicinal field full of ancient medicines in his own nanocrystal. Putting aside the method of refining, Zuo Feng cannot say that he has never seen or heard of all the various minerals recorded in the classics. Basically, he has heard of and seen no more than twenty kinds.

You should know that there are nearly 10,000 materials involved in refining, and there are less than 20 materials that Zuo Feng has heard of or seen. This makes Zuo Feng want to try to study, but there are no materials that can be used.

Even if Zuo Feng doesn't know much, there are still some materials on Kunxuan Continent that are recorded in those classics, but no matter how many there are, there are only a few dozen more.

Moreover, the preciousness of those materials is simply unimaginable. Even if Zuo Feng is rich, he can't use such precious materials for his own research.

Therefore, Zuo Feng has made almost no progress in refining, and he is still at the level of a beginner refiner. And Zuo Feng believes that even if he lets his level decline in the process of research like learning to refine medicine, he is already a beginner refiner, and there is really not much room for him to continue to decline.

Compared to refining equipment, the situation of rune arrays is also not very good. Although the practice of rune arrays can temporarily bypass the lack of materials and practice by building temporary arrays, the problem is that the ancient runes make it difficult for Zuo Feng to make any progress.

The ancient rune itself is a small array, so to comprehend and understand a rune is no less than to deduce and master an array. And with Zuo Feng's level of rune arrays, he can basically rely on his mastery of runes to deduce and calculate step by step, so as to master the array.

Depending on the size and complexity of the array, the time and energy consumed are different, but it is rare to be stumped by an array.

However, the situation of ancient runes is different from that of today's arrays, because each rune is already an array. And it is a rune itself, and there is no smaller existence that can allow Zuo Feng to interpret the properties and characteristics of the rune.

For example, every time Zuo Feng faces an ancient rune now, it seems like he has to study a new array again. The key point is that in this new formation, Zuo Feng has never seen or understood every rune. He needs to relearn those runes and then slowly master the entire formation.

Only those who have really come into contact with ancient runes know how difficult it is. In fact, there are not many people in the entire Kunxuan Continent who are truly qualified to come into contact with ancient runes.

And those who are lucky enough to come into contact with ancient runes, in addition to their strong backgrounds, are also of high rank. Most other rune formation masters, no matter how hard they try, don't even have the opportunity to come into contact with them.

In addition, being able to come into contact with ancient runes is sometimes meaningless, it's like a magic weapon. In the hands of those who can release its power, it is a real magic weapon. In the hands of those who can't exert its power, it is no different from the blank in the hands of ordinary people.

For modern people, the advantage of ancient runes is that they can be added to the existing human formation. Even if only one ancient rune is added, the rank of the formation itself will be increased several times.

If the ancient runes cannot be added to the human formation, then even if you have the ancient runes, it is meaningless.

Although Zuo Feng had been exposed to ancient runes for a long time, he was able to truly add ancient runes to the human race's formations under the guidance of Huankong. That was also the first time that Zuo Feng truly realized the potential of ancient runes.

From that time on, Zuo Feng had a great interest in ancient runes. He even fantasized that he could learn the contents of the classics and then use ancient runes to arrange a large formation.

However, as Zuo Feng studied step by step, he came into contact with more and more ancient runes and understood them more and more deeply. He really realized how exaggerated his idea was.

Each ancient rune was like an insurmountable mountain. If you just took one out casually, you would not be able to study it thoroughly without several months.

And even if you study it thoroughly, you still cannot really use it to construct a formation. That requires more time and energy.

When he was learning rune formations and refining medicine, Zuo Feng did not feel that he had delayed his practice. He felt that he was making progress in all aspects and was not delayed at all.

But it was not until he came into contact with the ancient runes that Zuo Feng truly realized how difficult it was to truly construct a large formation composed entirely of ancient runes.

And now, under the guidance of Huankong, he can add several runes to the formation to enhance the power of the formation. How powerful and enviable it is.

Zuo Feng found that he could not reach a certain level of ancient runes in a short period of time, or really master a certain number. So he thought of a way, that is, to memorize a part of the runes directly and engrave them in his mind.

In this way, as long as he has a little time, he can study them directly in his mind and try various combinations in his mind.

As for other ancient runes, although Zuo Feng could not remember them all at once, he also browsed through them roughly. At that time, he thought that if he found an ancient rune that was a little easier to master, he would start with it.

At that time, he just wanted to master the ancient runes as soon as possible, and he browsed so many ancient runes unintentionally, but he never thought that it would help a lot at this moment.

You have to know that in such a large number of books, if you have no impression of ancient runes that look similar, it is even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. Even if you have some impression, because the runes carved by Huankong are wrong, it is still very difficult for Zuo Feng to find the correct runes.
