The Body's Capacity
Whether the Gene Sequence is Evil Dao or unorthodox method is something Zhang Xuezhou cannot determine at present.
The ability of Gene Sequence is similar to borrowing Demon Power, but it is also different from Demon Power in some ways, just like the difference between the Demon Core of the moths and worms of the Thousand Islands Alliance and the Demon Core of another world.
These two abilities are similar but not entirely the same.
The reason they are similar is that both of these forces originate from external things, such as demons or strange beasts.
The difference lies in the fact that after the two derived their powers, the real world propelled the development of Gene Fighting Technique, while Zhang Xuezhou rarely saw anyone using Demon Power to employ any demonic arts in the other world.
People like Zhang Xuezhou who use the "Technique Within the Clouds" are extremely rare. Most cultivators borrow Demon Power Demon Power only because they value certain characteristics, using it as a backup method to try and win in battle.
For example, poison, agility, thick armor, immense strength, gliding and flying—the effects of Demon Power on the human body are manifested in only a few physical attributes. It also lacks the possibility of orthodox cultivation and can only grow stronger as the host's abilities increase, like a parasite.
This led to completely different understandings of power between the two worlds, and Zhang Xuezhou could not simply identify the Gene Sequence as Demon Power.
This path of cultivation may have its drawbacks, but Zhou Xin, who has entered the Seventh Sequence, Mengtesi Badun, who has entered the Eighth Sequence, both remind Zhang Xuezhou that the path of Gene Sequence is indeed feasible.
Without reaching the summit and standing at the highest point, he could not deny that this kind of spiritual practice was wrong.
Zhang Xuezhou agreed with some of the concerns raised by Zhang Weimeng, but Zhang Xuezhou also agreed with Song Fengying's statement that the development of Gene Sequence is endless. Combined with the Gene Sequence promoted by elites around the world, the vast human resources will inevitably find the right path to strength.
"Body's capacity?"
While agreeing with Zhang Weimeng and Song Fengying's arguments, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but consider the core of their dispute.
Song Fengying believes that genes have Infinite possibilities, while Zhang Weimeng believes that the human body has limited capacity, and unrestrained expansion will inevitably have limits.
"There is indeed a need to increase the body's capacity!"
Even disregarding Gene Sequence, the Poison Avoidance Instruction used in taking elixirs are all about expanding the body's capacity.
If the body cannot accommodate the full impact, it will be unable to withstand the consequences.
"The Seventh Sequence may be the watershed for the limits of physical capacity. Even with the corresponding extracts of Ferocious Beast, those who do not meet the limits will find it difficult to enter the Seventh Sequence!"
Zhang Xuezhou had met several top-tier Sequence Holder, all of whom were extremely strong and rarely had sickly faces.
This led him to continuously analyze the potential problems.
"If physical strength is a prerequisite for Denggao a higher Gene Sequence, then I probably need to start preparing early!"
Without the effects of the giant ant Ferocious Beast extract, Zhang Xuezhou's physical strength would only be considered average, placing him in the lower or even bottom tier among his Sequence Holder.
His body's tolerance is undoubtedly very low, and coupled with the symptoms of weak genes, the difficulty for Zhang Xuezhou to push forward the sequence is exceptionally high.
"I wonder how the surge of Spirit Jade and Spiritual Qi is going on Qinmeng's side?"
Zhang Xuezhou needs to seek good fortune in Dongshan, carefully deal with the risks associated with Huang Daoxian, and also seek out the R33 catalyst for the Qimeng Haige transaction negotiation.
He always prioritized seeking good fortune and dealing with Huang Daoxian, but Qinmeng's ever-increasing demands forced Zhang Xuezhou to pay attention to the situation overseas. He even had a need to seek out the falcon and other exotic beasts.
Zhang Xuezhou only had one physical technique with One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints to hone his physical strength, but he never thought of practicing as hard as the Buddha Son Rulai. Instead, he wanted to use the Spiritual Qi tide or the effect of a large Spirit Jade to get started.
He had sent a message to Genas ten days ago, and after thinking for a while, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but add a few more messages.
International communication is extremely delayed, but Zhang Xuezhou also has a twelve-day sleep period. Moreover, he needs to travel with a group to Qinmeng and cannot travel alone. He also does not want to waste time on the journey. There are many things to pay attention to, and it will take a long time for him to actually arrive in Qinmeng.
Aboard the Airbus, Zhang Xuezhou pondered back and forth.
When Zhang Xuezhou turned his attention to the messages sent by Changkong Luo and the others, he couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache, realizing that he needed to brew more longevity medicine to seek continued support from the Twilight Years Mansion.
He'll be very busy lately, and it'll all be physically demanding work.
"We've signed a contract for medication, but we're not responsible for the patients' lives. The medication is difficult to prepare and requires some nourishment. I personally can't handle the large doses needed for nineteen people. What solutions do you have for these issues?"
Zhang Xuezhou quickly resolved the related issues.
If Changkong Luo and others could formulate the drugs themselves based on his paper, that would be ideal.
He mentioned it briefly, and Changkong Luo quickly replied.
"Your longevity elixir requires you to add ingredients from time to time based on your intuition, depending on the heat of the fire. No one else can do that," Changkong Luo replied.
These days, Changkong Luo and the others haven't been preoccupied with whether or not to return to the Sequence Committee; they've been more focused on wielding power.
For example, a laboratory was added to the newly built Twilight Years Mansion, and Changkong Luo and others also began to develop drugs.
Despite having a paper, relevant videos, and a finished product of a life-extending drug, Changkong Luo and his colleagues spent nearly a month experimenting but still failed to meet the target.
The medicine was brewed, but Changkong Luo felt something was missing. After taking it, he didn't experience the special feeling that Zhang Xuezhou had when he refined the longevity medicine.
When Zhang Xuezhou declined to prepare the medicine, Changkong Luo was also greatly troubled.
This matter really requires Zhang Xuezhou to handle personally. These dozen or so people are not only experts in sequence, but none of them lack theoretical knowledge in order to advance to the Sixth Sequence or Seventh Sequence. They have also prepared a lot of blood agents and gene drugs.
But even these top talents encountered setbacks in their pursuit of longevity drugs.
Zhang Xuezhou's ancient method of refining elixirs is completely different from their previous pharmaceutical processes, making it difficult to achieve a high level of skill.
Perhaps they could learn the skills from Zhang Xuezhou in a year or two, but the most pressing issue for Changkong Luo and the others right now is time. If the pills extend their lives by several months to half a year or a year, they would need to spend one or two years learning, making such a counterproductive extension of life meaningless.
For Changkong Luo and the others, the most important thing right now is to pursue Mental Strengthening and maintain mental stability, which makes it impossible for them to focus their energy on other aspects.
It's not that Changkong Luo and the others are incapable of doing this, but rather that they don't have the time to dedicate to it.
"Just tell us what you need, and we'll do our best to expedite things for you," Changkong Luo said.
"I really don't have any green herbs right now... We'll talk about it later. After I return to North Rehe, I'll first refine medicine and deliver it to you!"
Zhang Xuezhou currently only wants to maintain relationships with the many Sequence Holder in the Twilight Years Mansion; he has no special needs for these people.
But as soon as he thought of Huang Daoxian and Qinmeng's five fire meteors, Zhang Xuezhou forcibly swallowed the words he was about to say.
As the greatest asset of the Scarlet Alliance State, these elders are indeed the strongest source of confidence in suppressing the nation's destiny.
Not to mention that Changkong Luo and others hoped to prolong their lives, Zhang Xuezhou also hoped that these people would live a long time, given the lack of suppression capabilities.
He not only wants to refine longevity elixirs, but also a 2.0 version of them. This will not only satisfy these elderly people, but also allow him to reach an agreement with Chimmon Hagrid regarding the R33 catalyst.
