A Golden Core Swallowed into the Belly

"Yuan Dan Technique, what kind of technique is that?"

The specific timing of the event meant that Zhang Xuezhou would find it difficult to participate in many committee matters.

Zhang Xuezhou and Zhang Manqian returned to the research institute earlier, while Ren Anran returned later.

Ren Anran was accompanied by Ren Wuyang, who wanted to go out for some fresh air and recuperate.

Reciting the "Tomb Sutra" while targeting Huang Daoxian triggered a mental breakdown, but Ren Wuyang was eventually able to temporarily escape the situation, thus preventing Ren Yisheng from being forced to cultivate for the rest of his life.

But Ren Wuyang ran away from Western Capital City, not expecting that Zhang Xuezhou from North Rehe was even more diligent in his cultivation.

According to Zhang Manqian, Zhang Xuezhou and Luo Burang have maintained this posture for six hours.

Looking at the purple Law Power energy rising from Zhang Xuezhou's hand, Ren Wuyang was filled with envy.

But as soon as he saw Luo Burang's body shrinking, his envy subsided.

As if drawn by Zhang Xuezhou's Law Power, or as if something had been extracted from him, Luo Burang was ashen-faced as a dead man, like an eggplant struck by frost.

If it weren't for the fact that both of them still had their eyes open, and that there seemed to be communication between their eyes, Ren Wuyang felt it would be time to call in the medical team.

"I've never heard of it!"

Ren Wuyang asked, and not only Zhang Manqian hadn't heard of it, but Ren Anran also shook her head.

"Brother, you've tried quite a few methods, but none of them are truly satisfying!"

Ren Wuyang looked at Luo Burang with a sense of sympathy, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou had shown a lot of ability, but none of it was reassuring.

The Realm Technique involving constant vomiting after taking medicine, the mysterious and incomprehensible beast control techniques, the complex and mind-boggling 108,000 acupoint techniques, and the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity Technique that nearly killed Ren Wuyang —such abilities are emerging one after another, and they all have serious problems of being completely unsuited to local conditions.

Even the most practical Supreme Purity True Technique should not be promoted, lest it lead to practitioners deliberately injuring themselves for healing purposes. Furthermore, the aftereffects of Supreme Purity True Technique in treating serious injuries are not something that ordinary people can bear.

Zhang Xuezhou's various abilities are all profound, and to this day, very few people can keep up with his progress. Even Ren Anran, who is closest to Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou blocked below the Divine Ability Realm.

Zhang Xuezhou may seem to have a smooth- Zhang Xuezhou, but there's really not anyone who can do what he has.

Ren Anran followed Zhang Xuezhou, while Ren Yisheng and Ren Wuyang continued to cultivate their spiritual lives. This choice was not without reason.

Without a more convenient and systematic method of cultivation, Zhang Xuezhou's model would be almost impossible to promote.

"It's just that you're not feeling well," Ren Anran corrected.

"I don't find you comfortable either," Ren Wuyang retorted.

"I feel very comfortable," Ren Anran shook her head and said, "You don't understand what a broad road this is!"

"It's too difficult," Ren Wuyang said. "A wide road shouldn't be so rugged. A rugged path only proves that the road is bumpy and flawed, which means that not many people can participate. If few people walk on a road, it will eventually become deserted and a dead end."

"The paths in this world are not forged by the masses; the masses can only ever add icing on the cake," Ren Anran said earnestly. "True pioneers are few and far between. My father's path was like that, and Xuezhou's path will be the same!"

Even so, the number of people can't be too small!

Ren Wuyang muttered something, but when Ren Anran compared him to Ren Yisheng again, mentioning that there were only a handful of true masters in the spiritual realm, he was speechless.

"At least there's the Tuer clan abroad, and Montes Arthur's leadership of the spiritual Aomeijia Alliance is also quite outstanding. Father's cultivation in the spiritual field is not a solitary endeavor!"

"Cross-border exchanges are very difficult; having them or not makes no difference!"

The debate between Ren Anran and Ren Wuyang did not last long.

Luo Burang's retching sound broke the silence of their argument.

"This method is for treating kidney stones?"

Luo Burang gagged, and Zhang Xuezhou got up, patted him on the back, and then nudged Luo Burang's stomach.

After retching, Luo Burang vomited a bunch of pebbles, appearing completely exhausted. His body, which was twice the height of a normal person, shrank, making him look as if he were seriously ill.

But Luo Burang's eyes held an indescribable joy.

"It's done!" Luo Burang stood up, measured his height, and said in a trembling voice, "This is just like the marrow cleansing and bone-refining process that your father described in his books, where a peerless master imparts his skills to a chivalrous hero. It has washed away the nightmare that has plagued me for more than twenty years!"

"Marrow cleansing and bone-strengthening?"

Zhang Xuezhou was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Luo Burang had read Zhang Weimeng's martial arts novels.

But this description is pretty close enough.

The Venerable One used Demon Power to help him condense his Yuan Dan, while Zhang Xuezhou used Law Power to guide the genetic power, which is basically similar to the principle of internal force driving marrow cleansing and bone tempering in martial arts novels.

There were various problems, but things were handled satisfactorily.

Whether it's trying anything as a last resort or treating a human illness with a veterinarian, Luo will not allow his body to be as chaotic and fragmented as before. The gene loci that guide the power will either be destroyed or sealed off, no longer manifesting and causing conflict.

If Luo Burang can find a suitable weak gene, he might have a chance to restart his life.

Even if Luo Burang pushes forward weak Gene Sequence and improves the sequence level, the strength he possesses is likely to be limited, but it is still better than gene conflicts that are difficult to exert their power.

"If I condense genetic power in your way and repeatedly push it to form a Yuan Dan, wouldn't that help the Gene Sequence?" Luo Burang asked.

"I think it's helpful," Zhang Xuezhou said, "But you should also be aware that it might have unknown effects on your health!"

No, no, no!

Luo refused to listen and waved his hands repeatedly.

"This will have an impact, but it's a positive one, and it might even produce incredible wonders," Luo Burang said.

"Oh?"

Zhang Xuezhou asked in doubt, while Luo Burang touched the copy of "Study on Internal Flow Field and Ablation of Insulation Layer in Solid Rocket Engine" that Luo Gaogao had brought, and then took a pen and scribbled on it.

His hands trembled violently, but Luo Burang's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth!"

With a series of gestures, Luo Burang also emphasized the various stages of the sequence hierarchy.

He had no objection to the proven path, after all, it was a path that thousands of people in various countries had successfully verified through various Gene Sequence.

However, in the higher sequence stage, Luo Burang began to demonstrate the potential guiding role of the Yuan Dan Technique.

"You mean, if we possess the Yuan Dan, our chances of entering the Seventh Sequence will be higher?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Not just the Seventh Sequence," Luo Burang said, "The genetic power that converges into the core is no longer a matter of quantity, but has the potential for qualitative change, and may even have a significant impact on higher levels!"

Luo did not allow his experience with sequences to remain at the Seventh Sequence.

This is the successful experience that Changkong Luo and Zhou Xin have maintained for more than 20 years. However, the Eighth Sequence is something he cannot do. He can only guess from the definition of the sequence and it is difficult to determine it in a short time.

"There's such a sequence effect?"

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise.

But when he thought about how the Demon Race relied on a demon core for cultivation, he couldn't help but agree.

Luo Burang's idea is not without precedent in the history of cultivation; demons have demon cores, and humans do indeed Human Pill.

In the past, however, this kind of Human Pill was collectively referred to as the Golden Elixir.

This is the Golden Core Technique, which imitates the Great Demon and was once very popular, giving rise to many powerful cultivators.

The saying, "After swallowing a golden pill, I realized that my fate was not determined by heaven," perhaps perfectly encapsulates the situation of cultivators in that era.

But everything that came about was the Golden Elixir, and everything that went about was also the Golden Elixir.

Demon cores can be used in medicine, and human cultivators' golden cores have also become medicinal catalysts. Ruthless methods such as sacrifice, alchemy, medicine making, and stealing people's cultivation levels have emerged endlessly in the past.

It wasn't until the Golden Core cultivation transitioned to Qi Refining, and the Qi Refining cultivators, though slightly less powerful, were free from future troubles, that this calamity for human cultivators came to an end.

Today, the methods of cultivating the Golden Elixir are nowhere to be seen; only a few written records document that once powerful and maddening era.

This is a path of cultivation that has been proven to be flawed, but in reality, there are no great cultivators who collect elixirs and make medicines.

Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a few seconds, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He thought that Luo Burang could try more, which might contribute to the Gene Sequence and even become a guide.
