Questions and Answers?

Very few people could actually observe Zhang Xuezhou pen to paper.

Besides Zhang Manqian, only Ren Anran was allowed to enter.

Even with ample medicinal materials, the creation of the Heavenly God General Medicine was still no simple task. It involved the coordination of Ren Anran's guidance and Zhang Manqian's operation, and even drug testing.

This is the culmination of the wisdom of many researchers over the past decades. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to complete this task independently, and any mistake by any party could easily lead to failure.

Ren Anran was also grateful that she had partnered with Zhang Manqian in the Thousand Islands Alliance for more than half a year. The two worked together so well that they could understand each other with just a glance.

The experimental formulation failed thirteen times and succeeded sixteen times, ultimately yielding sixteen Heavenly God General Medicine with extremely high purity.

Zhang Manqian also conducted extremely successful drug tests.

This was a major undertaking accomplished by the two of them together. Zhang Xuezhou's involvement was unnecessary, nor was Ren Yisheng's interference. They were already qualified to conduct small-scale independent experiments.

Following in the footsteps of those who came before is easy, but replicating is not.

Ren Anran had been working hard these past few days, and the injuries had only added to her physical fatigue. Even the strong and healthy Zhang Manqian didn't go to greet Zhang Xuezhou on time, but was only awakened from her tired sleep by the sound of the alarm.

When they arrived at Zhang Xuezhou's study after receiving the information, it was already two hours later.

She stared wide-eyed, still looking tired, and took the stack of papers from Zhang Manqian's hand.

Zhang Xuezhou seemed to have an endless library in his mind, which could bring surprises from time to time.

The fact that Zhang Xuezhou chose to record it in writing indicates that the content was extremely important.

In this current set of "Questions and Answers," Ren Anran felt that a convenient and smooth path of spiritual practice was constantly unfolding before her.

This also corresponds to another completely different cultivation method, which is a cultivation technique that uses the body's Qi and Blood and blood as a guide. It is similar to the Law Power used by Zhang Xuezhou to hone acupoints in the past, but it also has a completely different aspect.

This made Ren Anran suddenly realize why Zhang Manqian had summoned her.

There is indeed more than one path to spiritual cultivation. Different powers can be used as catalysts within the body, and the continuously opened acupoints can propel life to another level.

The sources of power in the human body may differ, but the parts of the body used are largely similar, even including Gene Sequence.

When the thought crossed Ren Anran's mind, she vaguely realized some things she had never thought of before.

"Am I more suited to this kind of Qi and Blood theory?" Zhang Manqian asked in a low voice.

"Even so, this kind of Qi and Blood cultivation can only strengthen your physique. Without the accompanying techniques, you cannot utilize any power, and you may not even possess the ability to lock on!"

Zhang Manqian felt that cultivating Qi and Blood was more suitable for her, but Ren Anran also raised some opposing suggestions.

If all the information is complete, Zhang Manqian might have a better option, but if Zhang Manqian continues to push the Gene Sequence, Ren Anran feels that this may lead to some kind of overlap or conflict in cultivation, and it will be very difficult to handle the connection between them, unlike the powerful auxiliary abilities brought by the current cultivation Realm Technique.

"And this training method seems to have some problems!"

Ren Anran kept reading until she reached the latest chapter written by Zhang Xuezhou, at which point she finally had a somewhat uncertain answer.

"This question-and-answer practice has both basic and advanced methods. To advance to a deeper level, many conditions need to be met, making it extremely difficult to achieve," Ren Anran said. "Ordinary practitioners often believe they have reached a certain limit in their cultivation, and thus continuously push downwards, but this limit may be far from true perfection!"

"You mean this cultivation method can be very weak, or it can be very strong?"

"Even when students study the same textbook, there are still differences between top and struggling students. It's normal for these different learning methods to vary greatly!"

"I understand the textbook's explanation, but I don't understand why this practice seems simpler, while the Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Incantation we learn is several levels more difficult!"

"Perhaps this is Realm Cultivation Technique for the general public!"

Zhang Manqian was puzzled, but when Ren Anran offered her perspective, she suddenly understood the reason.

What the general public learns should undoubtedly be simple and easy to understand, rather than pursuing something powerful or sophisticated.

The fact that Zhang Manqian could quickly understand this is something many people can understand.

"Committee members Zhu Liangping and Li Yingbo were defeated by the Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Incantation, thus withdrawing from the cultivation Realm Technique," Ren Anran said. "It's not that they didn't try, but rather that the difficulty of our cultivation is extremely high."

"Are they suited to this kind of spiritual practice?"

I think so!

"Then what about us?"

"Higher difficulty naturally has its advantages. At the same level, our magical Law Power might be several times greater than theirs, or we might be able to lock onto targets faster and for longer periods. We might even be able to cast spells, while they lack the necessary conditions to do so."

Ren Anran patiently explained, which completely extinguished Zhang Manqian's burning passion.

"My brother asked me to observe and think, but I can't think of anything?" Zhang Manqian asked, looking somewhat bewildered.

"Perhaps the content you are looking for has not yet been presented!"

Ren Anran pointed to Zhang Xuezhou, who had taken out a long scroll, and then watched as the other party skillfully turned on the program machine and began to enter the program of the Digital Poison Avoidance Instruction.

Zhang Xuezhou rarely used a programming machine to simulate cultivation, but the technique of One Hundred and Eight Thousand Acupoints was indeed too complex.

Even Zhang Xuezhou's program machine is not a single model, but involves ten different models.

The countless points of light, like stars, are dazzling, and the overlap of ten models can cause significant confusion in memory.

Apart from Zhang Xuezhou, no one else had learned two or more Evasion Technique.

Watching Zhang Xuezhou fiddling with the objects, Zhang Manqian felt a chill run down her spine.

"Physical Body Techniques enhance all of the body's resistances, possibly even including mental resistance!"

While Zhang Manqian and Ren Anran each had their own guesses, Zhang Xuezhou spoke up.

"To get started, you only need to master one thousand acupoints. In the past, it was very difficult to refine these one thousand acupoints. It would take two or three years of persistent effort to achieve success. However, by taking appropriate medicines and other means, the time required can be reduced accordingly," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Moreover, the physical body technique and the Poison Avoidance Instruction complement each other and can enhance the effects of medicines that resist negative effects."

"Does this also include offsetting the positive effects?" Ren Anran asked.

"That's true. The Poison Avoidance Instruction only counteracts the side effects of poison, but the higher one's physical body cultivation level, the lower the impact of the corresponding medicine on the body. Good and bad effects are treated equally!"

Having come into contact with Rulai and knowing that the other party dared to confront Brahma after cultivating the Poison Avoidance Instruction with 24,000 acupoints, Zhang Xuezhou was well aware that Rulai on the combined effect of physical body techniques and the Poison Avoidance Instruction.

This same principle applies to real-world situations.

A proper level of physical combat skills can significantly increase the group's resistance to the negative effects of the Spirit-Forging Pill.

Perhaps in many situations, people are just a little bit short, and that little bit can be overcome by physical skills.

The effectiveness of good elixirs will inevitably decrease, but this is compensated by the powerful resistance brought by physical body techniques, making it a compromise that is acceptable.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou also had a high interest in physical body techniques, if it weren't for the problem with his own brain making it difficult for him to concentrate on cultivation, he would have been happy to use various modern tonics to try and improve his physical body techniques.
