The Breakthrough Point Brought About by a Large Dose
The ferocious beast that propelled Changkong Kongluo into the Seventh Sequence was called 'Moo Lan'.
The Moo Lan is a type of wild ox that lives only in the mountains. It has blue hides and a loud, booming voice, and likes to intimidate its opponents with its angry roar.
Even after becoming a ferocious beast, Moo Lan remained unchanged.
Animals flee at the sound, but humans only need to protect their ears when targeted.
This was the first ferocious beast hunted by the Scarlet Alliance State, and it was also considered by many high- Sequence Holder to be the weakest ferocious beast they had ever seen.
"Actually, I think if this medicine could give us a loud voice, so we could suddenly yell at someone and make them dizzy, that would be really useful!"
Zhang Xuezhou's dispensing of medicine was fluid and effortless; it was simply a repetition of something without any difficulty, so Zhou Tianhao had no interest in learning how to prepare such medicines.
The two were actually quite idle in the lab, and their wild speculations about the effects of the drugs were not uncommon.
"The Changkong seemed to be relatively quiet during the fight?"
My grandpa said he loves to yell when he's fighting!
Does it work?
"Without!"
The conversation with Zhou Tianhao was not very effective. If Zuo Teng had known the relevant information, the other party would not have asked such a question at all.
Zhang Xuezhou carefully calculated the amount of ointment and poured in all the extracts from the ferocious beasts, just like cooking.
He couldn't help but feel a bit curious, wondering about the uses of this extract from the ferocious beast.
Of course, if it were just a loud shout that would give someone a headache, Zhang Xuezhou felt he wouldn't need it much; such drugs would be more suitable for melee-type Sequence Holder.
"If you don't eat, I won't eat either. Your sister isn't back yet, so we won't be able to get any test results for this medication today!"
"I'm not in a hurry for the results!"
"I'm in a hurry! My aunt brought all the stock from Western Capital City, I have to give her an explanation!"
"If your aunt has something to say, that's her problem. If it's really unacceptable, she can eat it herself!"
"That's true!"
Zhang Xuezhou offered a suggestion, which made Zhou Tianhao nod, feeling that there was nothing wrong with doing things this way; if Zhou Yueyan wanted to know the answer, she should go and test it.
He only wanted to complete the mission, and now that there was a solution, Zhou Tianhao was no longer in a hurry.
He hummed a little tune and took ten grams of pills containing the extract of the fierce bird from Zhang Xuezhou's laboratory medicine box, intending to see after a while whether his body could continue to withstand the effects of the medicine.
"I'll leave the pills here for now. This is the amount you're taking for testing. Come back and get more if you need them!"
After nearly three hours of work, the Spirit-Forging Pill made from the third type of ferocious beast extract was successfully prepared. Zhang Xuezhou distributed the medicine, which prompted Zhou Tianhao to grab the medicine and run away.
"Moo Lan?"
Seeing the slightly greenish color of the Spirit-Forging Pill, Zhang Xuezhou didn't take it indiscriminately.
He wasn't afraid of genetic conflicts within his body, but rather that Zhang Xuezhou currently lacked the R32 catalyst and egret blood agent, so he wouldn't make any reckless attempts.
For Zhang Xuezhou, the only thing he truly needed was the elixir made from the extract of the ferocious giant ant. This was a drug he had personally tested that could provide an immunity layer, and it was also the most practical drug for him.
However, these types of drugs held little appeal for Zhou Rihui and others.
"Tianhao took the medication back for you to test. Remember to send me a message when the results are in!"
He sent a message to Zhou Yueyan and then waited for the test results.
"Has it gotten to the point where I need to do the testing?"
Just a few seconds later, Zhou Yueyan replied, and the two were able to communicate smoothly.
"I don't have a suitable candidate on my side!"
"Tianhao is quite interested in this drug. Didn't he take it and test it with you?"
"My current research on these drugs is limited, and I don't recommend having two different ferocious beast preparations in the body. Of course, I'm currently taking two ferocious beast preparations, and if you think Tianhao can handle it, he can come and do the testing!"
"Did you experience any discomfort after taking the two types of ferocious beast preparations?"
"My sequence can't proceed!"
"It affected the Gene Sequence? I knew this drug's power didn't come out of thin air; it must have affected somewhere in our bodies, making us pay the price!"
"I've run out of blood serum, and I've also used up the R32 catalyst that Chimon Hagrid gave me. How's the catalyst setup you're working on coming along?"
"Is this the reason your sequence can't proceed?"
"When I took the medication, I used a blood-based countermeasure, which caused excessive catalyst consumption, and my Gene Sequence completely stalled!"
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou's explanation, Zhou Yueyan wished she could retract her information.
One second she thought her derivation was possible, but the next second she realized that Zhang Xuezhou's inability to advance the sequence was a resource issue, and she felt that this was not a drug defect at all.
Of course, Zhou Yueyan had to admit that the Zhou Household's blood serum reserves were not sufficient. If a large dose were consumed, delaying their entry into the Sixth Sequence would be a greater loss than gain.
"My body should be able to be tested; I've had so many blood injections in the past without any problems, but this doesn't seem to be an issue of bodily stability... Hey, bro, are you alright?"
Zhou Yueyan called Zhou Rihui.
During the communication, Zhou Rihui could be heard retching.
Zhang Xuezhou's drug only had a slightly nauseating effect on those in the Seventh Sequence, but it was almost indiscriminately effective on those below the Seventh Sequence. Even Zhou Rihui couldn't withstand the nausea and vomiting caused by the drug.
Hearing the sounds of retching coming through the communicator, a sense of unease immediately settled over Zhou Yueyan.
"If you're not feeling well, don't take so much medicine. Every medicine has side effects. I personally don't think this medicine is very reliable and it's not suitable for large doses. Besides, Little Zhang didn't tell you to take that much!"
"Ugh, there's something wrong with this medicine!"
"I knew there was a problem! Look, you're experiencing the effects of taking too much medicine. This is very serious; you can't take any more. I've seen your photos; your body is completely abnormal!"
"I... vomit... I ate too much and used a blood-based remedy... I vomited to counteract it, but somehow I suddenly vomited... and I've reached the Sixth Sequence!"
"What?"
Zhou Yueyan made a rash judgment with Zhang Xuezhou one day, and then suffered a setback with Zhou Rihui the next.
Making a wrong judgment is no big deal; losing face is just a minor embarrassment.
What truly astonished Zhou Yueyan was the way Zhou Rihui entered the Sixth Sequence, a method that broke the established conditions left by Zhou Xin.
She knew that Zhou Rihui was just one step away from the Sixth Sequence. This "one step away" wasn't something that could be achieved simply by talking; rather, it required meeting rather demanding physical conditions to have any chance of breaking through.
Zhou Yueyan never expected that Zhou Rihui could step into the Sixth Sequence while vomiting.
This is completely inconsistent with the sequence's progression and the Zhou Household's high standards for physical health.
If one had to find a reason, Zhou Yueyan felt that it might be that Zhou Rihui's taking of Zhang Xuezhou's elixir brought about a new breakthrough, which allowed Zhou Rihui to enter the Sixth Sequence without following Zhou Xin's steps.
"If that's the case, then won't I have to eat three pounds of food in the future too?"
After recovering from her illness, Zhou Yueyan entered the Fifth Sequence. Her decades of accumulated experience became the driving force for her breakthrough, allowing her to advance beyond her current level.
But if you were to ask whether Zhou Yueyan had any confidence in the Sixth Sequence, she had absolutely none.
Originally intending to be a lazy bum in the Fifth Sequence, Zhou Yueyan, upon guessing the real reason why Zhou Rihui stepped into the Sixth Sequence in an alternative way, felt her heart flutter.
She loathed the nausea and vomiting caused by the medication, and it even left her with a lasting trauma.
But when she compared it to the Sixth Sequence, she felt she had to overcome the difficulties.
