Mutation

Zhang Xuezhou was unable to describe the pharmacology of that other world.

This is a very systematic topic, and different perceptions will lead to different understandings.

The liquid, solid, and gaseous states of medicines can be attributed to the timing and intensity of alchemy, which will bring about different effects.

"Try it, so you don't say the medicine I gave you didn't work!"

"I won't try it!"

"Try it yourself; researchers should always have the courage to make their own judgments!"

"Vomit!"

Zhou Yueyan eventually verified it herself, proving that Zhang Xuezhou's newly developed medicine had very good effects.

"You say our procedures are the same, so why is the medicine I adjusted so much less effective?"

Once the nausea subsided slightly, Zhou Yueyan asked Zhang Xuezhou a question.

If Zhou Yueyan could debug it herself, she wouldn't need to come to the North Rehe Research Institute. She could refine as many pills as she wanted and compress them into whatever concentrated form she desired.

However, after experimenting more than ten times, experiencing vomiting and dizziness, she ultimately felt that Zhang Xuezhou's version was of a higher standard, which Zhou Yueyan found difficult to understand at the time.

"Um... I haven't seen your debugging process, so I can't answer your question!"

Modern pharmaceutical processes have undoubtedly been simplified, and advanced equipment has solved many problems.

Zhang Xuezhou vaguely felt that this might be due to the overly advanced equipment in Zhou Yueyan's laboratory, which caused the difference.

In order to replicate Zhang Xuezhou's method of refining the Origin-Nurturing Pill and ensure that everything was exactly the same, Ren Yisheng even collected the pressure cooker that Zhang Xuezhou used by collecting scrap, and successfully achieved a one-to-one replica.

Zhou Yueyan's biggest loss is likely due to the lack of a 1:1 replica.

If the instruments are different, Zhang Xuezhou feels that the adjustments should be somewhat different, rather than rigidly adhering to the same formula.

"What are you doing with so much emetic?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with interest. "There are only so many Seventh Sequence individuals in the world. Unless they take these medications, you can't force them into their mouths."

"You don't understand," Zhou Yueyan whispered quietly, "Actually, I wanted to smear the beast with medicine so that it would lose its fighting ability immediately."

"Great idea!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, feeling that unless they encountered a ferocious beast like the silly bird again, they couldn't possibly put even a little bit of vomiting medicine into its mouth.

Using the Spirit Spirit-Forging Pill against ferocious beasts is almost impossible, and the conditions involved, such as searching for them, are beyond Zhang Xuezhou's capabilities.

This requires extremely demanding conditions for a sneak attack, which is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

"I knew this was the idea!" Zhou Yueyan said with a look of delight at finding a kindred spirit. "As long as this medicine is up to standard and can make ferocious beasts vomit until they're on the verge of death, our chances of hunting them will increase to one hundred percent!"

"That's right!"

"The value of ferocious beasts is extremely high," Zhou Yueyan said. "Even if it costs tens of millions to stuff vomiting medicine into a ferocious beast's mouth, as long as it works, the profit will be enormous."

"That makes sense!"

"Stop just agreeing! Why don't you think of a way to improve the effectiveness of the emetic?"

"I can only agree, after all, I don't have the ability to stuff the medicine into the beast's mouth!"

Everyone knows that a toothless tiger is useless; once a tiger's teeth are removed, its fighting ability drops drastically.

But who will get the tooth pulled is a problem.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that Zhou Yueyan's plan was like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth; a normal person wouldn't even consider completing it.

If everyone possessed such formidable skills, why would they need to wait for his Spirit-Forging Pill Elixir, or resort to highly concentrated anesthetics, poison bullets, or high-strength acids...?

No matter what it is, as long as it works on the ferocious beast, you can stuff it into its mouth as much as you can.

But the problem is that no one can do it.

"Could Committee Member Zhou really do this?" Zhang Xuezhou thought for a moment and then said, "If your family had the means, you could just stuff strong acids and alkalis into a ferocious beast's mouth. Wouldn't that be much better than giving it a good beating?"

"We've already tried strong acid, but no one can stop a ferocious beast when it goes berserk. As for the anesthetic that needs to be injected into the bloodstream, we can't use it," Zhou Yueyan said helplessly. "Moreover, the mortality rate of a ferocious beast after being corroded is extremely high, and we won't have enough time to return home!"

The benefit of the Spirit-Forging Pill Elixir is that it can induce vomiting without causing any adverse effects on the body, and it will not cause any toxic symptoms in the blood or flesh.

This is an extremely contradictory poison; Zhou Yueyan had never even come into contact with it before, nor had she considered this possibility.

Regardless of whether they were tough guys or hardened men, whether they were Fifth Sequence or Fourth Sequence, they were all tormented to the point of near death under the stimulation of this drug.

The only drawback for Zhou Yueyan was that the medicine's effects were not targeted at the Seventh Sequence, and there was a high probability that it would not have a sufficient impact on the ferocious beasts.

Of course, another thing Zhang Xuezhou mentioned immediately deflated Zhou Yueyan.

"My family doesn't have that kind of money either," Zhou Yueyan said helplessly. "In another week, my dad will be moving into his old age mansion!"

"It's really bad that Committee Member Zhou is moving into his twilight years' residence," Zhang Xuezhou said regretfully. "It seems your brother hasn't even reached the Seventh Sequence yet!"

"We don't even have the Sixth Sequence," Zhou Yueyan said sullenly. "Now that someone's targeting our Zhou Household, they're just waiting for my father to retire to his old age and then turn on us!"

"Who's so brave?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise. "Entering the old mansion isn't the same as dying, and they can still come out for some fresh air. Don't they value their lives?"

"It shouldn't be too outrageous," Zhou Yueyan nodded. "It's just that we haven't figured out who we've offended."

"Your Lineage has been at the top for so many years, you must have influenced a lot of people, who knows how much influence that has accumulated over the years!"

The Zhou Household's situation is somewhat complicated.

Thinking of Zhou Xin's beating and kicking of Montesbottom in the ruins of Qinmeng, and his capture of the ferocious giant bird back to China, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the past was like the wind, and he would never see Zhou Xin so majestic again.

"It's outrageous! If we had just a few more years, perhaps we could have hunted several different ferocious beasts," Zhou Yueyan said.

"What's the use of hunting so many?" Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "We don't gain anything from it anyway."

"You don't understand the sequence," Zhou Yueyan thought for a moment before whispering, "The Seventh Sequence is related to beast compatibility. Without beasts, no one can enter the Seventh Sequence. If we have even a few compatible beasts, our Alliance States's high-end combat power will skyrocket!"

"The Seventh Sequence is really just made up of ferocious beasts?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise. "We caught a bird and brought back a few Seventh Sequence?"

"The compatibility isn't good; this kind of bird-like ferocious beast has a very small compatibility range," Zhou Yueyan pondered before saying, "If you were to enter the Sixth Sequence, you could try using the extracts from this ferocious beast to undergo mutation!"

"Alienation?"

"It's a peculiar transformation that allows a person to possess some of the characteristics of a ferocious beast. Although the appearance after the mutation is somewhat strange, the ability is undeniably strong. Even without exhibiting the mutated state, it is stronger than those of the Sixth Sequence!"

Without the personal explanation of a top-tier Sequence Holder, or the privilege of possessing Lineage access, it would be virtually impossible for an ordinary person to learn about these seemingly simple contents.

For some, even if they step into the Sixth Sequence, as long as they don't enter the top circle, their life is already set, or they can only risk their lives to try to go further.

Even for Zhang Xuezhou and others, even if they possessed ferocious beasts, they didn't know how to refine them, let alone how to propel the mutation into the Seventh Sequence.

Zhou Yueyan's topic did indeed pique Zhang Xuezhou's interest.

Even though he's currently just a weakling in the Second Sequence, it doesn't mean Zhang Xuezhou has no ambitions.

He hasn't developed to that level in Gene Fighting Technique, but Zhang Manqian, Ren Yisheng, Ren Anran, Ren Wuyang, and others have genuinely developed their sequences and have always hoped to reach the top of the sequence.

For Ren Yisheng, this was just a step away.
