A Rough Imitation

Zhang Xuezhou dabbled in many techniques in another world.

But no other technique can compare to the "Yuan Dan Technique".

This was a technique he had never learned in reality, but the modified Sequence Lock swept through the entire high-sequence group of the Scarlet Alliance State, and there is even a high probability that it will sweep across foreign countries in the future.

The prohibitively high price has deterred many people, but it has also made it even more desirable.

Zhang Xuezhou never imagined that this Daoist technique could affect his plans for the next ten years.

This involves not only the enhancement of Gene Sequence, but also non-monetary income and the binding of high-sequence groups.

If Zhang Xuezhou needed the powerful medicine from the snake pit, and he went there, a whole bunch of people would follow him.

For this reason, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his next ten years were almost clearly visible.

Without the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, almost nothing unexpected would have happened.

I'll get my hands on you sooner or later!

Knowing that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon were plotting to exploit Zhuang Zhou's Law Treasure, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to actively prepare for battle.

He forwarded his communication device to Zuo Denggao, instructing Zuo Denggao to do something that would offend people, while he himself fled to the Jishi Medical Center to escape the disaster.

"You've caused quite a stir lately!"

Ren Yisheng found himself unusually calm and at peace.

After Huang Daoxian disappeared, everything returned to normal.

Even in the disaster- Luo'an Province, recovery is underway. After nearly three months of continuous suppression, vegetation that has grown explosively is being dealt with, and people affected by genetic mutations are either being eliminated or undergoing harmless surgical treatment. Insect infestations are also under control.

The only Scarlet Alliance State affected by Zodiac was Luo'an Province. In this era when food was not scarce, it was not difficult to provide aid to a province as long as other provinces were functioning normally.

Zhang Qiaoen's rebellion after being bewitched almost crushed the second Sequence Committee, while Pei Jing's rebellion resulted in a bloody victory, and the damage to Huang Daoxian, the mastermind behind it all, was reduced to a minimal state.

Compared to the tragedy in Leiata City of the Thousand Islands Alliance, everything in the Scarlet Alliance State remained calm and uneventful.

Because of this, Ren Yisheng and others were able to catch their breath and proceed with their Seventh Sequence in an orderly manner.

He looked at Zhang Xuezhou with great interest.

What Zhang Xuezhou was doing at the North Rehe Research Institute wasn't exactly a secret, especially after he met with Luo Burang. It would be abnormal if two top geniuses didn't make a splash.

Ren Yisheng never expected that the matter would involve such a wide range of people, and that he himself would even be caught up in it.

"We initially just wanted to find some suitable samples for testing; we never intended to promote this immature content!" Zhang Xuezhou said sullenly.

"The allure of the sequence lock is too great," Ren Yisheng exclaimed. "If I hadn't stepped into the Seventh Sequence, I definitely would have wanted to give it a try, even if I were full of confidence. Having an extra layer of insurance is far more important than failure!"

"It's better to wait," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Creating the sequence lock ourselves is definitely more suitable; a quick fix will only bring temporary gains!"

"That makes sense," Ren Yisheng said with a smile. "Unfortunately, time flies and waits for no one; many people have no choice!"

"So I can only rely on the younger generation," Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said. "It's not entirely a bad thing that older people are eager for quick success; even if problems arise, it can pave the way for those who come after them!"

"That's right!"

Ren Yisheng agreed.

The path of sequence is discovered through generations of trial and error.

While this process certainly involves a great deal of reasoning from researchers, it is largely the result of Sequence Holder combining ancient martial arts techniques with continuous experimentation that led to the formation of the Gene Sequence.

In order to forge his own path, Ren Yisheng has taken no shortage of risks throughout his life.

The risks of Zhang Xuezhou and others promoting sequence locks are significant, but the potential rewards are enormous, and their influence has even spread overseas.

If all goes well, Ren Yisheng is really looking forward to the Alliance Island meeting a few years from now.

"You came here not just to escape disaster, did you?"

Zhang Xuezhou had previously discussed the trip to Qin Meng Snake Cave with Ren Yisheng. If the Sequence Lock incident hadn't escalated, Ren Yisheng felt that he might have made preparations to set off in a few days.

However, this incident has forced the two to postpone their plans for a while, and they will likely be able to get a bunch of free helpers along with them.

"I'll wait Zuo Denggao finishes collecting the fees, and then I'll help people quickly create sequence locks. This will take some time," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I'm thinking we can't just hide from people for nothing; we have to do something worthwhile!"

"I really enjoy serious business," Ren Yisheng said with a smile.

"That's why I came to you to study Mental Strengthening," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Oh?"

Ren Yisheng blinked slightly.

Just as Luo Burang believed that the sequence lock was complete and perfect, Ren Yisheng felt that the Mental Strengthening Chapter was also quite complete.

The Mental Strengthening Chapter concluded after Chapter Seven; there is no Chapter Eight, let alone Chapter Nine or Ten. Any continuation at this point would only be a poor sequel and would not bring about any change in the quality of mental development.

This conclusion was not merely Ren Yisheng's personal judgment; it also incorporated the research of Luo Tianming and others.

This led Ren Yisheng to shift his focus from strengthening his spirit to utilizing it, attempting to integrate and control the power to unleash even greater might.

But no matter how Ren Yisheng utilizes the advantages of the sequence to integrate and control it, or what kind of power he possesses, he is well aware that his mental strength is inferior to Luo Zhong's.

This means that there is indeed a possibility for the spirit to be strengthened and improved, but this path may not necessarily originate from the Mental Strengthening Chapter.

"Entwining dragons and circling pillars, true fire refines the golden body?"

He discussed the matter in detail with Zhang Xuezhou and looked at the contents of the scroll that Zhang Xuezhou had copied.

The content is not long, and is even quite simple.

However, the Mental Strengthening involved in this volume moves from the internal to the external, requiring external forces to drive it.

"Isn't this method similar to the one Changkong Luo chose?"

Without experiencing wind and rain and various hardships, it is difficult for one's spirit to be tenacious and unyielding.

Changkong Luo, seeking to enter the Eighth Sequence, chose to wander Qin Meng, attempting to replicate the path of Qi Meng Haige.

Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation Principle involves choosing the torment brought by external objects, thus allowing his spirit to be forged in the flames.

"The coiling of dragons around the pillar represents the harmonious state of the body; true fire is an external force; and the golden body is the cultivator's own physical condition," Ren Yisheng said. "Only when these three are in a sufficiently harmonious state can the spirit be guided to grow stronger!"

The external conditions required for the cultivation technique "Entwining Dragon and Circling Pillar: True Fire Refining the Golden Body" are not something ordinary people can possess, and the Venerable One's physical condition is even more unattainable by ordinary cultivators.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Venerable One's cultivation technique couldn't be simply copied and applied to reality.

Without mastering the physical techniques to the Divine Ability Realm, Zhang Xuezhou would have been burned to ashes.

"If the fire is too low, it won't be effective; if it's too high, you can't withstand it," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Moreover, this fire isn't just any ordinary fire; it needs to be repaired after the spirit is injured in order to continuously strengthen its mental abilities!"

"So... then we'll need to use the Qin Meng Secret Stone as a base!"

Zhang Xuezhou believed that content that was difficult to copy directly could indeed be constructed by Ren Yisheng.

The Seventh Sequence resistance layer is not omnipotent, but it is indeed resistant to high temperatures when resisting attacks, which can be considered as half an invincible body.

Creating a dragon coiled around a pillar is not a problem either. It can be accomplished using modern technology by constructing a pillar shape and guiding a controlled-temperature flame beneath it.

The real difficulty lies in the damage caused by burning, which requires corresponding restoration in order to guide the body to continuously repair itself and allow the spiritual power to grow stronger amidst the pain of burning.

If one were to seek something naturally imbued with restorative spiritual power, Ren Yisheng would undoubtedly set his sights on the Qin Meng Secret Stone.

This is an extremely hasty imitation, but Ren Yisheng believes that moving from inner cultivation to outer tempering is an innovative beginning in the field of Mental Strengthening.

"Is this how Hongku plays?" Ren Yisheng asked repeatedly to confirm.

"Almost!"

Whether it's the Heavenly God General's Elixir, whose side effects are still difficult to eliminate, or the Venerable One's "Entwining Dragon and Circling Pillar True Fire Refining the Golden Body," this kind of cultivation that borrows external objects is not a comfortable thing.

Looking at Ren Yisheng, who was eager to try, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the path of the later stages of Mental Strengthening was all crooked.

"I wonder how Huang Daoxian and Hu Hao cultivated, especially Huang Daoxian who has been defeated time and time again, yet he can still fight against us. Hu Hao... speaking of which, Hu Hao seems to have mentioned that the master of the Wild Serpent has some kind of fire seed?"

Ren Yisheng wanted to create the conditions for cultivating the "True Fire Refining the Golden Body by Entangling Dragons and Pillars," but Zhang Xuezhou didn't know if he could succeed.

But during his discussion with Ren Yisheng, Zhang Xuezhou suddenly recalled the information Hu Hao had provided when he bought his life.

That was a treasure that Hu Hao wanted to acquire; using the fire seed would purify and strengthen his bloodline.

Upon belatedly recalling Hu Hao's account of the fire-related content, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the uses of fire seemed somewhat similar.
