Catalysis

The Fourth Sequence arrived earlier than Zhang Xuezhou had imagined.

In Zhang Xuezhou's calculations, he would need to consume at least twenty doses of high-grade falcon blood serum to trigger a qualitative change through the accumulation of the serum in his body, thereby reaching the Fourth Sequence.

If all goes well, this process should take about three months.

If Zhang Xuezhou can accelerate the absorption of the blood serum by releasing Gene Fighting Technique, the time will be further shortened.

However, if one could obtain a beast belt like the one used by Montes Steel, which catalyzes the absorption of blood serum, the entire process would be significantly accelerated.

The negotiations between Ren Yisheng and others were slower than Zhang Xuezhou had anticipated, and the barter exchange was not yet completed.

Zhang Xuezhou believed that entering the Fourth Sequence was only a matter of time, and he wasn't too concerned about it. After all, with the risk of Huang Daoxian eliminated, he wasn't in such a hurry to push forward the sequence as before.

However, while studying large-scale drugs, he discovered some of their properties.

Perhaps because he had taken blood-tonifying supplements in recent days, he felt a noticeable stimulation in his body when he took the Snake Cave Medicine.

Aside from the slight dizziness and extreme discomfort caused by the strong stimulation of blood absorption, Zhang Xuezhou was quite satisfied with the drug's effects.

He suddenly understood why Zhong Rang had lost his mind after overdosing on medication, and he also understood why several other people had almost fallen into the risk of old age. Moreover, Zhong Rang's subsequent condition after overdosing on large amounts of medication was quite different from that of the others.

"This medicine requires an overdose, but you also need to be able to withstand the high level of stimulation in order to significantly stimulate the body's absorption of the drug!"

Zhang Xuezhou had undoubtedly abandoned the use of potent medicine to treat snake venom, as he did not currently need to treat snake venom.

After removing this effect, Zhang Xuezhou explored another aspect of its function.

This forced him to taste it repeatedly, and he ended up taking a little more than usual.

Looking at the bluish-black discoloration on his arm caused by the gene expression, Zhang Xuezhou touched his face again.

This is the initial phenomenon of the manifestation of changes in gene characteristics. After it subsides, it will show recessive convergence. The stronger the gene power used, the more this external characteristic will reappear. It can also serve as an external criterion for judging the gene power used by Sequence Holder.

Compared to the estimated minimum of twenty doses of high-grade falcon blood serum, Zhang Xuezhou only used five doses to enter the Fourth Sequence.

For a moment, he felt like he had finally returned to normal, and for the first time, he used the regular blood serum dosage to enter a higher sequence.

"This drug induces changes in gene blood and body compatibility, significantly reducing blood consumption and possessing a powerful boosting effect!"

If categorized, Zhang Xuezhou felt that this powerful medicine from the snake pit could be placed in the category of blood-activating catalysts.

Like the R-series catalysts they studied, this large drug has a very strong auxiliary effect on blood agents.

As the sequence advances, the dosage of the drug increases, leading to more intense side effects that stimulate the brain. However, it also plays a more important role in higher sequences.

It's not unusual to advance the Fourth Sequence, but if medication can effectively advance the Seventh Sequence, that would be an extraordinary achievement.

No one can guarantee that they will reach the Divine Ability Realm, and Zhang Xuezhou wasn't particularly confident that he would reach the Seventh Sequence either.

After all, the weak genes in his body have unstable changes, and the amount of blood serum he needs is many times more than that of ordinary people. He was even once deemed by the committee to be able to accumulate unlimited amounts, which is why it is possible for him to advance.

But he found that the means to support himself were constantly increasing.

One is the 'sequence lock' that he and Luo Burang promoted, and the other is the great medicine of the snake cave.

Even if he couldn't eliminate the side effects of the strong medicine, Zhang Xuezhou felt he could handle it.

Although Zhang Xuezhou's focus in cultivation was not on Gene Sequence, he was still pleased to see this situation and even more eager to have higher sequence abilities.

"The Spiritual Qi supplied by the Qinmeng Secret Stone must have played a role in the medicinal herb's efficacy. Secondly, there's the natural characteristic of this herb itself. It's strange, though, that this plant isn't even listed in the Alliance States ' botanical atlas. If we want to consume large quantities in the future, we'll have to make a trip to the Snake Cave!"

Having roughly identified the properties of the drugs, Zhang Xuezhou also made some attempts at formulation.

The effects of elixirs may be either to combine multiple medicinal materials to create a stronger effect, or to base the effect of a certain medicinal material on reducing its side effects, thereby highlighting the positive effects.

"Once I've seen Li Shaojun's Eight-Step Ascension Pill, I'll then study how to make the external elixir!"

Having clarified the effects of the major medicine and the principles of its preparation, Zhang Xuezhou found the process of refining medicine quite enjoyable, as his mind did not need to be immersed in the process of making pills.

"If we talk to Chimon Haig more about the future, he might still be somewhat interested in this drug, and perhaps he'll loosen his stance on the catalyst!"

Zhang Xuezhou currently has no effective longevity drugs to offer. Due to the limitations of the medicinal properties of the herbs, no matter what first- or second-generation longevity drugs he researches, they are useless. At most, they can only be used for short-term conditioning of the body. However, he believes he can offer a new drug for trade.

His behavior of acquiring new drugs is not surprising. Most Alchemist find success in one area when another doesn't, and weapon refiners have similar practices. Their output is determined by what they get, and many can only produce unique items.

Are there any people who want to participate in drug trials?

Zhang Xuezhou turned his head towards the camera and asked.

The camera was switched on, and the chattering of the people watching on the monitor could be heard coming from inside.

Zhang Xuezhou's invitation to participate in the drug trial wasn't a bad thing, but it certainly wasn't entirely a good thing.

If the medicine is good, Zhang Xuezhou would definitely prioritize giving it to Zhang Manqian and others. The fact that Zhang Xuezhou brought it out means he wants to collect relevant usage data through testing in order to determine the usage ratio.

"Quantities are limited, I can only give one away for free. This medicine is not for sale at the moment!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved at the camera.

Will you vomit?

In the end, Zhou Tianhao quickly stepped forward.

The Zhou Household are all physically resilient, but Zhou Tianhao discovered that Zhang Xuezhou took medicine as if it were nothing, while it was a completely different story for them.

He had a history of taking drugs made from extracts of ferocious beasts, and Zhou Tianhao could already imagine the worst possible scenarios.

However, Zhou Tianhao must say that Zhang Xuezhou's medicine, while unpleasant, also has its irresistible advantages.

If the negative impact isn't too severe, Zhou Tianhao feels he'd be willing to give it a try.

The group of people observing in front of the monitor only made eye contact for two or three seconds before he was the first to step forward.

"I don't know if I'll vomit or not," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I think it's highly unlikely to cause vomiting!"

"Then I'll do it!"

Zhou Tianhao responded and then ran out happily.

"Zhou Tianhao is actually a drug test participant? Does he have some serious illness?"

Song Sijia pointed to her head and asked the crowd a question.

In the laboratory, all kinds of innovative drugs must undergo a variety of tests before they can be used on humans.

Even high-end drugs like extracts from ferocious beasts have stringent data requirements. They won't be used rashly if they don't meet the corresponding standards. If they don't meet the standards but are still needed, then one can only gamble with their life.

Song Sijia felt that Zhou Tianhao was a bit too eager, and Zhang Xuezhou was a bit too casual.

Just like cooking a dish, Zhang Xuezhou casually extended an invitation, and Zhou Tianhao eagerly signed up to try it.
