The Ferocious Beast Extract That Spurred Changkong Luo's Advancement
For Zhang Xuezhou, his current understanding of fortune follows the theory that fortune ceases to exist when a dynasty collapses.
However, the situation at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum shattered his understanding of divination techniques.
The Luofu Dynasty collapsed, but its fortune did not dissipate. Zhang Xuezhou has yet to discover where the Scarlet Alliance State is rising.
Zhang Xuezhou also learned why Huang Daoxian specifically targeted emperors.
The opponent's tactics were even more incompatible with those of an emperor than Zhang Xuezhou had imagined.
"He must not be good at combat, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to let Luo Chong Luo Zhong for so long. Even if he didn't kill Luo Zhong, he could have found Luo Zhong in these decades!"
Zhang Xuezhou was considering the relevant details.
He thought that after nightfall he could sneak into several imperial tombs to check the situation, especially those involving Luo Yan, Luo Ke, and others.
Perhaps at some point, he will learn the details of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum and be able to access Dongshan's destiny again.
"Brother Zhang, I know you're home, so please don't turn off the lights and not open the door!"
Zhou Tianhao Tianhao's loud knocking brought Zhang Xuezhou back to his senses. He quickly put away the chip and turned on the light.
"Zuo Teng actually became a candidate for the sequence committee! I should have gone to Luo'an Province with you. He beat up a bunch of weaklings and got promoted. I'm so angry!"
As he opened the laboratory door, Zhou Tianhao mumbled out his little idea.
It's not surprising that Zhou Tianhao felt this way. The fact that Zhou Tianhao could still express it is already quite upright, and many people envy or even are jealous of him, but they keep their feelings to themselves.
"What's the rush? Your dad's a big shot on the committee, what's the big deal?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with a smile.
"What's mine is my dad's, and what's mine is mine. It's not the same thing," Zhou Tianhao said wistfully. "I don't want to be a third-generation heir who lives off his parents. I want to earn my place through my own abilities!"
"Come on!"
Zhang Xuezhou gave Zhou Tianhao a high five, which surprised Zhou Tianhao for a moment.
"What's wrong? Have you finished being envious and jealous of Zuo Teng and adjusted your emotions?" Zhou Tianhao asked. "Why do I feel like you're not reacting to such a major event?"
"Now I'm so envious and jealous! I hate that Zuo Teng became a candidate for the committee and left me behind!"
"That's a normal human reaction!"
Zhou Tianhao muttered a dissatisfied remark.
Despite being the third generation of the Zhou Tianhao Zhou Household, Zhou Tianhao has little influence in Western Capital City and can only rely on his family background to get ahead among the younger generation.
Seeing Zuo Teng suddenly rise to the top, anyone of similar age and ability would be anxious.
In particular, Zhou Yueyan and Zhou Rihui, whom Zhou Tianhao relied on, were not well-informed about these matters, and no one in the second-generation rich kid's backyard information-sharing group could make a definitive judgment on the matter.
The current Sequence Committee is overwhelmed with information and has no time to deal with these juniors. Some sequence committee members have initiated related meetings, but what they discussed is unknown.
"Zhu Shengnan and the others almost went to Zuo Teng's house to beat him up. That doesn't make sense, does it?" Zhou Tianhao said.
"Don't worry, as long as we meet the requirements, if Zuo Teng can do it, so can we," Zhang Xuezhou reassured him.
"Being first is definitely a huge advantage; it'll be much harder to get there later," Zhou Tianhao said. "Even if we can't be first, we should hurry up and try to squeeze into second place, so it won't get harder and harder later on!"
"Then you've chosen the wrong person to confide in. It's not easy for someone like me to get a free ride; there's no way I could possibly be second," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Who knows, maybe they'll open a challenge, and I'll sign up and still be lying down. It's not like this hasn't happened before!"
"Oh, this... your situation..."
Zhou Tianhao paused, realizing that it wouldn't be easy for Zhang Xuezhou to cause trouble.
"Your situation isn't ideal for taking advantage of others, but don't worry, Brother Zhang, once I'm on the committee, we'll be one family. My position will be yours, and you can do whatever you want," Zhou Tianhao said warmly.
"No problem!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
Zhou Tianhao came to find Zhang Xuezhou on the first day he regained consciousness, and now that he has most likely found out that Zhang Xuezhou has returned to the North Rehe Research Institute, he rushed over again.
It's not hard to guess why the other party is in such a hurry; only when it involves their own needs would Zhou Tianhao be running back and forth like this.
"It seems you've obtained the beast extract that propelled the Changkong Household's advancement," Zhang Xuezhou said. "However, I personally don't recommend that you take both medications at the same time. Instead, wait until the first one is exhausted, or focus on enhancing one of your abilities," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"But I see you ate two kinds," Zhou Tianhao said in a low voice.
"The suggestion is mine, but the initiative is yours. I won't be responsible if you get sick from eating," Zhang Xuezhou said. "As long as your dad signs the papers, we can eat as much as we want, even if we die!"
If that's what you mean, then I don't want to eat anymore!
Zhou Tianhao snorted twice in frustration.
He couldn't understand why Zhang Xuezhou could get special treatment while he couldn't, but since Zhang Xuezhou had made such a suggestion, he would definitely take it to heart in order to avoid being beaten by Zhou Rihui.
"To be honest, I'm really curious to know what use these extracts from ferocious beasts actually have?"
Zhou Tianhao carefully opened the sealed package he had brought and took out seven pale blue extracts of the ferocious beast.
The amount of these ferocious beast extracts is much smaller than that of the ferocious beast giant bird extract. If they are to exert a sufficiently strong effect, the pills refined can only supply fewer than ten people.
The power gained from elixirs will be lost and consumed, but this happens relatively infrequently, and elixirs are only suitable for use when there are specific needs.
"Once my sister comes back, we can do some tests and we'll know the results. If this beast's abilities suit you, and you've used up your flying ability, then you can get a replacement," Zhang Xuezhou suggested.
"But I think my flying ability is amazing, and I don't want to change it," Zhou Tianhao said. "My dad took a lot of medicine, and now he's grown a lot of stiff feathers. He practices flying every day, and he can fly really far from the mountains. I'm so envious of him!"
"Don't overdo it," Zhang Xuezhou warned. "This is a test drug; I don't know if there will be any side effects!"
"My dad has never been careless when it comes to taking medicine. He wouldn't even blink if it were poison. There's no way he'd have any problems," Zhou Tianhao assured him, patting his chest. "He's planning to soar thousands of miles, so the dosage he'll need will be huge!"
"Then he'll have to catch a few more giant bird-like beasts!"
Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind whether Zhou Rihui ate a lot or a little, as long as the other person's body could handle it.
As a junior Alchemist of the Yin-Yang School, the more others eat, the more he has left over. Zhang Xuezhou even hoped that Zhou Rihui would eat more so that he could have more customers who could provide materials.
After receiving the sealed package from Zhou Tianhao, Zhang Xuezhou was quite curious about what special abilities this extract from a ferocious beast would bring.
Zhang Xuezhou wanted to cultivate the Realm Technique, but his Realm Technique was broken. He wanted to advance the sequence, but the blood serum and R32 catalyst were insufficient in these twelve days. He needed to wait for the Zhou Household to develop the R32 catalyst and for the Changkong Household to produce the blood serum. When he tried to advance the technique, he encountered a situation where Dongshan lacked luck.
With everything going wrong, Zhang Xuezhou also wanted to take a look at the extract of the ferocious beast that Zhou Tianhao had brought, to see if this kind of ferocious beast could bring any special effects.
Of course, if even acquiring pharmaceutical manufacturing skills doesn't go smoothly, Zhang Xuezhou feels that he will have very few productive tasks available in the near future.
