Returning to himself

Zuo Teng's advantage lies in his keen understanding of the situation in Western Capital City, and even more so in the fact that he is closest to Zuo Teng, an unstable individual, and is therefore most likely to obtain firsthand information.

The riots in Western Capital City were a major disaster for many.

If it weren't for the fact that almost all the high-ranking members of the Sequence Committee had some connection with the Zhang Household, the investigations during such rebellions would have always been conducted with the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free." Zhang Xuezhou and others would have been implicated as well, even though he had contributed to the riots.

The riots ended with the construction of numerous retirement homes as a precaution, a conclusion akin to wielding a sword but ultimately slapping oneself in the backside.

After Zuo Teng left, Zhang Xuezhou stared at the sixteen vials of high-grade blood serum for a long time.

He ultimately did not dwell on the matter.

Open Flying Entertainment Livestream, and you'll find that in addition to her regular daily product sales, Song Fengying has now shifted from a daytime travel streamer to a nighttime adventure streamer.

"No, Mom really wants to go explore the Luo Li Emperor's Tomb you mentioned, but there's no signal there, so she can't do a live stream at all!"

When Zhang Xuezhou left a message asking about it, Song Fengying responded very quickly.

This reminded Zhang Xuezhou of the fact that he couldn't contact Zhou Yueyan even while he was in the Luo Li Emperor's Mausoleum area.

There's no signal from the communicators, so there's no way to expect a smooth live stream.

Zhang Qiaoen made a donation during the live stream, but due to circumstances, Song Fengying could only take a stroll around the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum.

Although Song Fengying did not explore Luo Zhong's imperial tomb, she kept Song Fengying Zhang Xuezhou's instructions in mind and did not approach any imperial tombs, including those of Luo Ke.

"So that's how it is!"

If Zhang Qiaoen didn't see the situation at Luo Zhong's tomb during the live stream, which triggered her outburst of anger, then it's only possible that someone else saw Zhang Qiaoen's donation during the live stream and contacted her.

Zhang Xuezhou accessed Flying Entertainment Livestream's permissions.

He then found Zhang Qiaoen's account and directly retrieved the records related to Zhang Qiaoen's account over the past ten days.

This is one of the small perks brought about by Flying Entertainment Livestream's expanded storage capacity, allowing for recording, review, and retrieval within a certain time limit.

"Streamer r372831 interacted with Joe Zhang for one minute!"

"He didn't show his face!"

"The sound was also adjusted?"

"The identity information is also fake!"

"But the content of the call and the approximate location cannot be changed!"

"Regarding matters involving the Western Capital City Elderly Residence and the Sequence Committee, those interested can register at Xinfei Entertainment for a private chat!"

While we can speculate about things, we cannot form conclusive evidence, and the poor storage conditions of Flying Entertainment Livestream make it impossible to leave any records.

Zhang Xuezhou's investigation has come to an end here.

However, he was clearly more wary of Zuo Quan, the good-for-nothing second-generation member of a prominent Aristocratic Clan.

The matter was put aside, and the focus returned to Zhang Xuezhou himself.

He went into the lab and began sequencing blood samples.

After bending eight syringes in succession, Zhang Xuezhou finally managed to draw blood from his own vein.

This is partly due to his unusually thick skin, and also somewhat related to the "Stop the War" technique.

Having entered the Divine Ability Realm, his mastery of the Ceasefire Technique has also improved, making it harder for metal objects to damage his body.

If the decision to stop the war were to advance further, or if it were to be further promoted by taking the Spirit -Spirit-Forging Pill refined by Presenel's inner core, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would have essentially bid farewell to normal medical care in Western Capital City.

"Still heron genes?"

"That's impossible! My body has clearly been modified; my physique is noticeably different from before!"

Holding the sequencing report in his hand, Zhang Xuezhou looked at his weak heron gene report and found it hard to believe the instrument's test results.

When Zhang Xuezhou unleashed the Kunpeng Combat Technique, which he hadn't used in a long time, he found that there were no noticeable malfunctions.

This only proves that the genes in his body have indeed not changed.

But the fact remains that his body has been strengthened.

"Could it be that all the Spirit-Forging Pill I refined possess the effects of the Vajra Body Talisman?"

If we disregard genetic changes, the only remaining explanation is that Zhang Xuezhou's use of Presenel's inner core to refine the Spirit Spirit-Forging Pill resulted in a special effect.

He took out the last Spirit-Forging Pill, which was still more than half full.

Zhang Xuezhou was troubled for the first time by the fact that the medicinal properties of the elixir were complex and difficult to analyze.

He looked at his body, which had returned to its normal flesh color after being shattered by Zhang Qiaoen, and touched his body, which was much stronger than before. When he showed off his arms like a bodybuilder, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the remaining effects of the drug were not bad.

After the Poison Repelling Technique was continuously activated, he did not feel any discomfort in his body.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the pill, then swallowed the special poison pill in one gulp.

The Law Power within his body surged instantly.

Zhang Xuezhou pointed his finger and unleashed a Sand Transformation Technique, which consumed a significant amount of Law Power, directly calming the surging Law Power impacting his meridians.

This Spirit-Forging Pill is not as effective as the Creation Pill, but even though he was at the Divine Ability Realm, it still brought some restoration of his Law Power.

However, compared to the Law Power effect that Zhang Xuezhou experienced when taking the medicine in the Integration Realm, this Spirit-Forging Pill is clearly ineffective now.

Before the stool that Zhang Xuezhou was casting his spell on had completely turned into yellow sand, the Law Power recovery effect brought by the Spirit-Forging Pill had already slowed down, completely losing its explosive power.

With his Law Power restored to calm, Zhang Xuezhou was able to focus on sensing the toxins and changes in his body.

He looked at the small bumps that kept appearing on his skin, and how his skin gradually turned a pale blue color, accompanied by a painful sensation as if countless ants were biting him and an itchy feeling as if they were crawling all over his body.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Xuezhou steadied himself and took several of the finest syringes to draw blood.

"Mixed with unknown genes!"

After a short wait, the results of his blood gene sequencing came back.

Compared to the previous sequencing report which only contained the heron's genes, this sequencing report includes the genes of an unknown organism.

This gene was clearly highly corrosive, invading his body shortly after the pill entered his mouth.

In Zhang Xuezhou's mind, genes are mostly preserved in liquids, such as through blood serum, rather than in dried solids.

But this gene eventually disappeared from his blood, as if it had been devoured and destroyed by his genes, leaving only residual effects on his skin and strength.

This was an effect that Zhang Xuezhou had never achieved with the Spirit-Forging Pill he refined by consuming the inner cores of moths and worms.

"Once you can move again, could you please access the gene pool's image data on gene types, or grant me viewing privileges?"

He sent a message to Zhou Yueyan, and once again focused on his own feelings.

Modern instruments bring many conveniences, but our own perception is also an extremely important factor.

No longer needing the power of elixirs to advance his cultivation level, Zhang Xuezhou could now clearly perceive the effects of the remaining medicinal properties within his body.

The poisoning effects in his body were eliminated by the antidote, while the medicinal properties that could adapt to his body and have a beneficial effect were preserved.

Zhang Xuezhou could sense the increase in strength within his body and also perceive the strengthening of his physique.

Pills that increase strength are not rare; Wei Shao'er gave Zhang Xuezhou several pills two years ago.

There are also drugs that can give the body resistance, but these elixirs are mostly taken by martial arts practitioners.

Compared to the pills that Wei Shao'er used to gain only a few dozen kilograms of strength, his Spirit-Forging Pill was obviously more potent and had a more complex medicinal property.

If it weren't for the fact that his bones couldn't withstand the force, Zhang Xuezhou felt that unleashing a burst of power, even at the cost of a thousand pounds, would be quite easy.

This power is already beyond human capabilities for most people, and this is only the effect of him taking three pills.

Looking at his skin, which had not yet returned to its normal color, Zhang Xuezhou felt for a moment that Presenelle had truly protected him after his death.
