Guidance

Zhang Xuezhou undoubtedly harbored ulterior motives and wanted to scheme against Zuo Quan.

Zuo Quan, too, harbored ulterior motives and was making his own plans.

During their communication, Ren Yisheng keenly noticed the similarities between the two.

This also led to extremely smooth communication between Zuo Quan and Zhang Xuezhou, among others.

Even though there were some flaws in their actions, neither of them noticed them.

"This... this... and this, these are the carefully selected items we bought from the large quantity of rocks found in the sinkhole. I think there might be traces of extraterrestrial life in these rocks!"

In addition to exploring the Wuliang Jade Wall, Zhang Xuezhou also encouraged Zuo Quan to continuously connect the Wuliang Jade Wall with the Sinkhole No. 2. Zhang Xuezhou also took Zuo Quan to visit his exhibition room and took out some stone specimens for Zuo Quan to see.

This made Zuo Quan's expression extremely solemn.

"Committee Member Zuo, if these alien civilizations are more advanced than ours, what would they be doing here?" Ren Yisheng asked doubtfully. "Advanced life forms wouldn't risk coming to a place inhabited by less advanced life forms, just like we wouldn't go to the countryside to develop our civilization."

"Perhaps our world has what they need!" Zuo Quan said vaguely.

"I can't understand this," Ren Yisheng said. "Don't they have similar things in their world? Why do they have to risk their lives and die like this?"

"The only solution is to capture a few aliens and ask them why," Zuo Quan said.

"That makes sense!"

Ren Yisheng nodded slightly, secretly plotting when to make his move against Zuo Quan and then interrogate him about everything.

"Committee Member Zhang, I'm very interested in these rock specimens from the Sinkhole No. 2. Could you give me one?"

Zuo Quan held the stone specimen provided by Zhang Xuezhou, his face grave.

He asked Zhang Xuezhou for it, and Zhang Xuezhou did not refuse.

"If Committee Member Zuo discovers anything during his research, please remember to share the information with us. If there is any further need for specimens, we are ready to supply them at any time!"

Few people knew about the Wuliang Jade Disc, and only Jin Shixue witnessed Zhang Xuezhou taking it. Zuo Quan found it difficult to understand the true situation of the Wuliang Jade Disc.

In order to bind Zuo Quan, Zhang Xuezhou added more bargaining chips.

The specimens Zhang Xuezhou retrieved were not simple stones, but rather the stone specimens that had once aroused his body.

These stone specimens contain a gray liquid that is also somewhat active.

When Zhang Xuezhou touched them, the stones clearly regained some vitality, which Zuo Quan was also able to sense.

"These specimens are very important. Committee Member Zhang, please acquire as many as possible and see if any new discoveries are made!"

Holding the stone specimen, Zuo Quan felt as if the stone were soft mud, and within this mud, it seemed as if insects were wriggling and surging.

He gave Zhang Xuezhou some instructions and then naturally put the stone specimen into his possession.

As someone protected by good fortune, Zuo Quan is likely to have good luck in everything he does.

He had just decided to investigate the Mirror Clan, and then, after arriving in North Rehe, he obtained relevant clues.

Inanimate objects like mirror remains are of no use to Zuo Quan, but living things can provide him with guidance.

The stone specimen provided by Zhang Xuezhou contained such a living creature. Even if the stone only contained a drop of active blood from a powerful cultivator of the Mirror Clan, it would still be an important clue for him.

"Does Zuo Quan really believe that we can only see physical ailments through the Boundless Jade Disc?"

Zuo Quan arrived in North Rehe very quickly, and left just as quickly after obtaining the stone specimen.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng were determined, they couldn't get all the answers they needed from Zuo Quan.

However, the two did not come away empty-handed. Zuo Quan kept his mouth shut, but he had already fallen into the trap of the 'Mirror' and was very likely seeking this non-existent opponent.

"That's good to hear," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "But he said there's a risk of extracting the dead 'Mirror,' and we have to be careful about that!"

"I'm currently in a period of physical adjustment, so one check-up is enough!"

"It's not an urgent need for me right now!"

Ren Yisheng and Zhang Xuezhou looked at each other.

The Boundless Jade Disc is undoubtedly a treasure, but such a treasure can only be used temporarily at appropriate times, and one should not become dependent on it.

Both of them had embarked on their own paths of cultivation, and their resistance to treasures was undoubtedly much higher than that of ordinary people. They would not place their hopes for cultivation on the Boundless Jade Wall.

However, neither of them would mind seeking help when appropriate.

"This stone specimen is relevant to the left side..."

"It should be something from Sinkhole No. 2, which will completely trap Zuo Quan's investigation within Sinkhole No. 2, thus giving Zuo Quan and his team another competitor!"

When Ren Yisheng's gaze fell on the stone specimen, Zhang Xuezhou reached out and touched it.

As he gestured with his hands, tiny drops of gray liquid, resembling water droplets, slowly oozed from the stone, gradually coalescing to form small, fragmented pieces of flesh that resembled human tissue.

"These are some stone specimens I found while raising chickens a few years ago. I later acquired a batch more, and picked out a few special items," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Zuo Quan mentioned the high-temperature flames from the fragments of the Sinkhole No. 2. These might be some unburned remnants that have survived and evolved over the decades."

Compared to when Zhang Xuezhou first obtained these stone specimens, Zhang Xuezhou felt that there was more liquid in the specimens, and more tissue resembling flesh and blood.

If a suitable cultivation method is available, Zhang Xuezhou believes that this gray liquid will grow at a considerable speed.

He believed that this gray liquid was most likely related to Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, but Zhang Xuezhou had not yet found a way to use it until he met Zuo Quan and used this stone specimen to attract trouble.

"The vitality of the creatures on the fire meteor is beyond comprehension," Ren Yisheng murmured. "Compared to these beings, we are as weak as toddlers who have just learned to walk. This makes me wonder why they are so powerful, why they are on the fire meteor, or why they would choose such a dangerous way to enter our world?"

"I think they are special, but not absolutely powerful; rather, they are in the process of pursuing power," Zhang Xuezhou replied. "Like Zuo Quan, Zuo Luo, Huang Daoxian, or Presenel, these beings can only be said to have different developments and various unique characteristics from ours, but they can all be restrained or even killed, so they cannot be called absolutely powerful."

"Do you count too?"

Ren Yisheng asked in a low voice.

"Hongku might count, but I don't!"

Zhang Xuezhou gave a brief reply.

He and Ren Yisheng locked eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The realm technique and Technique Method are also a kind of alternative development, which is completely different from the Gene Sequence, and also makes Zhang Xuezhou's development quite unconventional.

However, Zhang Xuezhou's unconventional development was not due to his solitary strength, but rather to the leadership of many followers, which is why he did not appear as abrupt as Huang Daoxian, Presnel, and others.

Ren Yisheng's reaction was undoubtedly quick; he made the corresponding connections and confirmed the information when the relevant events were mentioned in passing.

Only after Zhang Xuezhou gave his assurance did Ren Yisheng nod, letting bygones be bygones the moment he had inadvertently uttered those words.
