"A spark, interesting!"

There is far more than one method of spiritual practice in the world.

The Mental Strengthening Chapter Mental Strengthening Chapter is powerful, but it's not the only one.

Ren Yisheng can stand out from the crowd, which of the beings that can command fireballs is not a prodigy?

In the original world of these fire meteor beings, cultivation was undoubtedly flourishing, far more powerful than the Scarlet Alliance State nation that had only been exploring Gene Sequence for decades.

Ren Yisheng was neither surprised by the appearance of an external spiritual technique like "Entwining Dragon and Circling Pillar: True Fire Refining the Golden Body," nor was he surprised by Zhang Xuezhou's speculation.

Within his capabilities, Ren Yisheng felt that everything was worth trying.

"We don't need to confine ourselves to the Mental Strengthening Chapter; we can try anything that's useful to us!"

If it weren't for the fact that the Realm Technique provided by Zhang Xuezhou was unsuitable and almost completely blocked by each step, Ren Yisheng would not have refused to step outside.

Ten years ago, Ren Yisheng had already studied the Realm Technique. After he fell into a Mental Strengthening dilemma, he expanded his research to the outside world and even personally tested it by taking Peiyuan Paste.

The reason he focused on the Mental Strengthening Chapter and kept pushing the sequence forward was simple: Zhang Xuezhou's Realm Technique had no future and was far more difficult than the direction he was studying.

Even though many wondrous Technique Method have been derived from the Realm Technique manipulation, Ren Yisheng is well aware that these are things he can see but find difficult to achieve.

So far, only Ren Anran has been able to keep up with Zhang Xuezhou, and even Zhang Xuezhou's own sister has been unable to get in.

If even one's own family members are like this, it's no surprise that others who imitate and follow suit will find it difficult to excel.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou did not hide anything and had publicly explained how to cultivate himself correctly, Zhang Xuezhou path was almost impossible to repeat.

Having cultivated to the level of Ren Yisheng and others, he can see everything clearly, make accurate judgments, and is not stingy with his own knowledge; he is likely to participate in any new endeavor.

He was very interested in the sequence lock, he was also interested in the Serpent Cave Elixir, and he actively tried to imitate the cultivation conditions of "Entwining Dragon and Circling Pillar True Fire Refining Golden Body". The 'fire seed' mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou also aroused Ren Yisheng's interest.

Ren Yisheng felt that he was facing many difficulties after barely reaching the Eighth Sequence, but Zhang Xuezhou had a long road ahead of him.

Zhang Xuezhou's approach to spiritual practice was different, which brought a new direction to Ren Yisheng.

"Shall we take another group for a spin?"

In the original Qin Meng hunting plan, the group from the Twilight Mansion would first take the lead and familiarize themselves with the ferocious beasts, and then the second group would be a mix of new and old members, including Li Yingbo and others who would be taken to Qin Meng.

Ren Yisheng didn't want to use the people in the old mansion for a simple reason: these people were in unstable condition in their old age and it would be difficult for them to survive outside for long. They could only go and return quickly.

Getting the residents of the old mansion to cooperate was also a difficult task, as they were focused on maintaining their health and prolonging their lives, and lacking sufficient shared interests, it was difficult to form a unified force.

His previous trip to Qin Meng on Alliance Island, where he casually recruited people, had caused some minor controversy. If Qin Meng's hunting of ferocious beasts hadn't yielded unexpected results, that trip would have ended there.

Now that Zhang Xuezhou's sequence lock and the snake pit medicine both involve this group of people, Ren Yisheng feels that it won't be difficult to invite some of them to help.

"That's difficult!"

Ren Yisheng inquired about Qin Meng's travel arrangements, but Zhang Xuezhou felt that implementing them would be quite difficult.

If all that's needed is to collect some medicinal herbs from the snake den, this might be resolved by communicating with the wild snakes.

However, the 'fire seed' guarded by the wild serpent is not so easy to obtain, and the probability of a fight between the two sides is at least 80%.

Defeating the Wild Serpent is difficult. Qin Meng lacks sufficient logistical support, and in the Serpent's Lair, it is quite difficult to conduct targeted attacks using firearms, explosives, or melee combat.

Zhang Xuezhou felt he wasn't very confident.

He glanced at Ren Yisheng, Ren Yisheng pondered for two seconds before shaking his head in return.

Ren Yisheng had indeed tried to target the Wild Serpent before. He had previously used the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique to launch an attack, but he was unsure whether the Wild Serpent was exceptionally gifted or possessed some other special ability. When he tried to mentally attack the Wild Serpent, he was as powerless as when facing Huang Daoxian, and it had no effect whatsoever.

Even if his current strength increases again, Ren Yisheng has no particular confidence.

"Let's try diplomacy first, then force," Ren Yisheng said.

"Then let's try to get as many medicinal herbs from the snake den as possible during the ceremony," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Even if we can't get the 'Fire Seed' this time, we can at least develop our business, and the next time might be more promising!"

"OK!"

Ren Yisheng nodded with a slightly strange expression.

The medicine Zhang Xuezhou was looking for had unique effects, and apart from the side effects that were unacceptable to most people, it had no other problems.

Zhong Rang died from Qin Mengzhong's overdose, Zhou Tianhao lost his senses for nearly half an hour after taking 250 milliliters of the drug, Zuo Lianguang lost part of his memory after overdosing; it is currently unclear whether the memory loss is temporary or permanent.

Before the dosage of this drug is determined, very few people will dare to try it.

Judging from Zhang Xuezhou's appearance, Ren Yisheng felt that Zhang Xuezhou was addicted to making medicine, and his attention to the medicinal materials from the snake cave was much higher than that of others.

"Will the medicinal herbs from this snake pit be effective against Hongku?" Ren Yisheng asked after agreeing.

"A higher sequence level will always have some positive effects!"

Zhang Xuezhou's goal has remained unchanged from the beginning until now. No matter what he fights against or pursues, his goal is to take control of his own life, and he has always been moving in that direction.

"You've been in contact with Hongku for so long, don't you have any other ideas?" Ren Yisheng asked.

"A little bit!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about Suoyang, and then about Aqiao.

Zhang Xuezhou left without a trace, Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, after replacing his body, will inevitably suffer torment from the lust of women.

His method, however, is precisely the correct way to break free from the body's constraints, and even if the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon dislike it, they must accept it.

However, Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou couldn't realistically achieve this condition; otherwise, the constant back-and-forth would have made it a decent countermeasure.

"What kind of absurd strategy is this!"

After Zhang Xuezhou explained, Ren Yisheng felt that Zhang Xuezhou's idea was outlandish and absurd.

"What man can do this kind of thing and stay erect without harming his body?" Ren Yisheng complained. "Don't even mention men, women can't handle it either!"

"This is definitely outrageous. I'm just using this as an analogy," Zhang Xuezhou said, spreading his hands. "It requires my interests to align with Hongku's, for me to endure the torture without harming my body, and for it to happen while I'm unconscious. Only by meeting these requirements can I stimulate Hongku and make him immerse himself in this kind of torment!"

"Disaster!"

Ren Yisheng pondered for a few seconds and felt that Zhang Xuezhou's demands were too high.

He felt much more at ease after asking him several questions.

Zhang Xuezhou's condition is abnormal, but Zhang Xuezhou is still himself and has not been assimilated by the fire meteor creatures. He continues to fight and seek a way out.

There have been many failures in the struggle against the fire meteor creatures. In the city of Leiata, worms grew from the bodies of the humans who crawled on the ground. The worms turned into moths and eventually left no remains.

Zhao Changqing fought for decades until he died bleeding from all seven orifices. Hu Jiaquan and others fell into depravity and sought refuge with Huang Daoxian, only to be abandoned. Zuo Jin Zuo Jin a daze for several years before finally passing away, barely clinging to life.

Ren Yisheng encountered all sorts of cases, and none of them had a good ending.

But Ren Yisheng was still willing to take the gamble. As long as Zhang Xuezhou was still himself, he would do everything in his power to assist him and would also strive to improve himself to the best of his ability.

If Zhang Xuezhou ever manages to escape the Fire Meteor Creatures, Ren Yisheng will stand by and congratulate him.

If Zhang Xuezhou were to be devoured by the fire meteor creature and become neither human nor ghost, Ren Yisheng would do everything in his power to kill it, thus returning everything to dust.

This is a matter that has troubled Ren Yisheng for many years, and it will continue to trouble him until one day a final conclusion is reached.
