Guests at the Door

Many people are looking for Zhang Xuezhou.

Not only were people from the Twilight Mansion lining up to inquire, but Changkong Kongyinghao and his group also went directly to the B13 Research Institute.

"Don't gamble on this. It's not perfect yet, and the consequences could be dire," Zhang Xuezhou refused. "I don't even have a sequence lock in my body, what's the rush?"

"How can I not be anxious?" Changkong Kong Yinghao said dejectedly, "Others can wait without ferocious beast extracts, but I've been watching the materials grow for over ten years!"

"We're suffering every single day," Changkong Kong Yinglian said. "We originally thought that after your divine grace healed our bodies and removed our illnesses, we'd have the confidence to step into the Seventh Sequence, but we still dare not gamble!"

"No one has ever attempted to break through to the Seventh Sequence again within three days of failing," Zhou Rihui said seriously. "And Zuo Lianguang succeeded!"

"You're only thinking about the benefits, without considering the downsides at all," Zhang Xuezhou said. "This is no joke. If the sequence lock collapses, it will cause the sequence to regress, and it might even be completely wiped out!"

The information about creating a sequence lock tailored to Ren Wuyang was limited to only a few people; the situation was completely different in the Twilight Mansion.

It was one thing for Zuo Lianguang Zuo Lianguang die, but the fact that he could still enter the Seventh Sequence after his failure was as shocking as a newcomer entering the Eighth Sequence, and it spread throughout the top circles.

Not to mention the people in the old mansion and Changkong Yinghao, even the younger generation had their eyes gleaming with anticipation.

The idea that people are more concerned about inequality than scarcity is the same everywhere. People don't covet the rare snake pit medicine, but the sequence lock that affects the Seventh Sequence makes many people restless.

"It's better to die a glorious death than to live a life of aimless despair!"

A hint of determination flashed in Changkong Kongyinghao's eyes.

If there were any other way, Changkong Yinghao wouldn't have done this.

Their generation is indeed different from Changkong Luo, and it is unlikely that they will become the second Changkong Luo.

The one who knows the heroes of Changkong best is not himself, but Changkong Luo, who leads them forward.

They questioned Changkong Luo time and time again, but never satisfied Changkong Luo.

As they proceeded in the direction Changkong Luo had taken, Changkong Luo's standards were undoubtedly an ironclad rule, making them very clear about the consequences of recklessly attacking the Seventh Sequence.

But if an additional factor were added, they might not be so passive.

"I've had enough of being beaten!" Changkong Kong Yinglian said painfully, clutching her hair. "You don't understand the despair a swordsman feels after being injured!"

"Your institute's outputs need to be produced as soon as possible," Zhou Rihui complained. "Every time I see you tinkering with a bunch of stuff, I never see any follow-up. I don't think I can count on your corrections!"

Zhang Xuezhou's research institute has produced many novel inventions, each with a unique function, but each of them has encountered difficulties in subsequent research.

Zhang Xuezhou can tame exotic beasts but not ferocious beasts. Zhang Xuezhou longevity elixir has been acknowledged by the members of the Twilight Mansion, but there are still no second or third generation versions. Zhang Xuezhou has concocted many drugs using extracts from ferocious beasts, but they run out after use...

If Zhou Rihui had just thought about the past, he would have believed that there was no follow-up to the sequence lock issue.

Not only does Zhou Rihui think this way, but Zhou Tianhao does too; otherwise, he wouldn't have been the first to rush out to test the drug.

Zhou Rihui was used to being beaten, and he didn't care about being beaten, but he also longed for the Seventh Sequence.

In a normal budget, Zhou Rihui felt he would endure for about ten years, and then strive hard along the path Zhou Xin had taken, leaving the outcome to fate.

But his plans didn't keep up with the changes. Seeing Zhou Tianhao step into the Fourth Sequence and Zuo Lianguang leap to the Seventh Sequence, Zhou Rihui couldn't tolerate this situation.

"Don't worry about dying," Zhou Rihui waved his hands repeatedly, "As long as I enter the Seventh Sequence, I'll follow you wherever you go. I'll be the first to get beaten up; you just need to hide behind me!"

"That's right," said Changkong Kongyinghao, "The probability of you being killed is zero, we're not afraid at all!"

"Even if you end up in a vegetative state, we will do everything in our power to keep you alive," Changkong Kong Yinglian added. "You're younger than us and will live for decades to come. This flaw in the sequence lock is nothing to us!"

Thank you for your blessings!

Zhang Xuezhou made a comment.

The Yuan Dan Technique was originally a mature and complete method for condensing pills, and it remains complete even after being modified.

If we exclude the drawbacks of alchemy and pharmaceutical manufacturing, sequence locks are indeed not a problem.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou's Law Power is used to guide the condensation of the core, it is not actually a major drawback.

After all, compared to the long process of self-cultivation, it is not a bad thing to seek help from external forces, especially for older people.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou is well-versed in both Yin and Yang, and his magical Law Power at the Divine Ability Realm is extremely powerful. It would be very difficult to condense magic power to his level, and correspondingly, the sequence level that his Law Power is adapted to would be extremely high. This would also mean that the corresponding sequence lock would not be at a low level and difficult to play a role.

If it weren't for the coercion of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, they might have been locked in a life-or-death struggle in the next few years. Zhang Xuezhou thought everyone's choice was excellent, and he wouldn't have repeatedly refused.

"Although sequence locking is something we've studied, we lack the capability to effectively target high-order sequences," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Committee member Zuo Qian was defeated after..."

"Can we also fail in our attempt to break through to the Seventh Sequence?" Changkong Yinghao asked excitedly.

"Well!"

"Uncle Zuo said the sequence lock increased his success rate by 20%, but the main reason was the strong effect of the drugs," Changkong Kong Yinglian said. "Without those supplements, our failed attempt to push the sequence lock would have been a net loss!"

"If you want me to boost the sequence lock, I'd like to ask you for a favor," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.

"What kind of help?" Zhou Rihui asked with interest.

"The higher my sequence number, the easier it will be to activate the sequence lock," Zhang Xuezhou said, holding up two fingers. "If you can help me obtain the gene catalytic equations for R34, R35, and R36 that Chimon Haig possesses, I'm confident I can do even better!"

Zhang Xuezhou is pushing forward with the Fourth Sequence faster than initially anticipated.

There wouldn't be much difference between advancing to the Fifth Sequence and Sixth Sequence; it would simply mean taking a larger dose of the Snake Cave elixir and needing to be physically stronger.

He pondered the Kunpeng Combat Technique, which he sought to Ren Yisheng for the Fourth Sequence of Ren Yisheng. He also considered the secret medicine of the Snake Cave, the gene catalyst of Qimeng Haige, and the physical techniques that could withstand the stronger impact of the drugs. Once all these conditions were met, he would surely be able to rapidly improve his sequence, allowing him to skip the years that others had to endure.

Of course, it's difficult for him to meet these conditions.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind handing things over to someone else at this point.

What he couldn't do, others might have accomplished.

Zhang Xuezhou had previously entrusted the R33 catalyst project to Zuo Teng, and now he was similarly entrusting the higher-level catalyst project to him.
