Self-Destruction
"Bomb the forum!"
"Destroying it will prevent future problems!"
In Luo Burang's chaotic world, it's one situation; in reality, it's another.
In the laboratory, Zhang Xuezhou was clearly somewhat surprised.
Luo Burang's body was ordinary, but with the help of Qin Meng's secret stone and Ren Anran's guidance, he entered the Blood Penetration Realm.
The saying that a low-level cultivator using Technique Method is no match for a dog is not an exaggeration. Without suitable magic, the probability of such a low-level cultivator being unable to defeat a vicious dog is quite high.
Aside from opening up the meridians in his body to channel Law Power, Luo Burang did not gain anything from the Realm Technique.
Luo Burang's Gene Sequence needed to be started from scratch.
Despite all these disadvantages, Zhang Xuezhou still dared to let Luo Burang test the medicine not because he was tormenting him, but because Luo Burang had been corrupted by Luo Zhong, resulting in an innately strong spirit.
Even without cultivating the Mental Strengthening Chapter, Luo Burang's spiritual power would not be inferior to Ren Wuyang's, and might even be quite close to Ren Anran's.
With strong mental power, one can maintain one's true nature and not be misled by the Serpent Cave Medicine, thus achieving the level of medicine-taking required for the Sixth Sequence.
But Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect that Luo Burang would become mentally unstable after taking the medication.
The other party initially only took a small sip, but continued to consume it. Zhang Xuezhou noticed something was wrong and stopped Luo Burang's actions.
Listening to what Luo Burang was saying, he knew very well that Luo Burang had fallen into a mental state. After all, Luo Burang came to the research lab to learn how to prepare medicine, not to still be entangled in the previous discussions.
"Increase... increase the dosage!"
Zhang Xuezhou muttered incantations, and the Shangqing True Technique blossomed in his hands.
This is Technique Method that can soothe states of madness, violence, and anxiety, and it can be helpful in Luo Burang's situation.
If Ren Yisheng, Ren Wuyang, Ren Anran, or others were here, they could still use the appeasement techniques from the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique.
Zhang Xuezhou couldn't find anyone at this point. He tried to use his magic to see if he could make Luo Burang's condition more normal. He saw Luo Burang struggling to open his eyes on his sore face and asking for help in a low voice.
"Increase the dosage? Are you sure?"
It was rare to see himself unleash the Shangqing True Technique so smoothly, and it also jolted Luo Burang awake from his chaotic illusion. Zhang Xuezhou hadn't expected that Luo Burang would need an increased dosage.
It's like an addict who knows they're in a state of illusory pleasure, yet still finds it hard to resist the allure of that wonderful temptation.
"Can something this sour really be addictive?"
Zhang Xuezhou filled the test cup that Luo Burang was holding, letting him choose to take it, and then filled his own cup to the brim.
After swallowing it, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his facial features had been distorted.
His mouth was constantly gushing with sour saliva.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't have any particularly good solutions to counteract the side effects of the Snake Cave Medicine, but this medicine contained a large amount of acidic substances.
In short, Zhang Xuezhou went back and forth preparing the medicine, but he failed to eliminate the side effects of the Serpent Cave Medicine. Instead, he added ingredients that would cause side effects, ultimately producing a dosage that the Sequence Holder could take.
This is similar to some fragrant insecticides; only by adding foul-smelling, vomit-inducing, or other unpalatable ingredients can they be prevented from being accidentally ingested or from being overdosed and difficult to treat.
Before encountering the side effects of the snake pit medicine, Zhang Xuezhou set up another barrier in advance, preventing those with insufficient mental willpower from taking it in excess.
When combined with blood toxins or extracts from ferocious beasts, the sour taste will not occur. However, if an overdose is taken or the body cannot absorb it, this acidity will cause them to vomit repeatedly until they finish vomiting. This also prevents the snake pit medicine from continuously stimulating the brain, thus allowing the body to return to normal.
Of course, adding this ingredient was not an easy task. Zhang Xuezhou had to ensure that it did not affect the efficacy of the Snake Cave Medicine, which took him a long time to adjust.
"I'm not addicted at all!"
After swallowing a large mouthful, Zhang Xuezhou almost wanted to throw the test cup in his hand away.
If he didn't intend to use the Serpent Cave Elixir to break through to the Seventh Sequence, Zhang Xuezhou felt he would never have drunk such a thing.
Zhang Xuezhou couldn't accurately prepare the dosage of the Serpent Cave Medicine for others, nor could he prepare a sufficient amount for himself. He felt that the medicine he had developed was excellent, after all, Zhang Xuezhou himself would benefit from it in the future.
This drug is exactly as Zhang Xuezhou envisioned, and it has no possibility of causing addiction.
"That's strange. Why does Luo Burang want to drink more after already drinking? Did he see some kind of hallucination during his mental breakdown and want to prolong it?"
After ruling out the medication as a problem, if Zhang Xuezhou were to find another reason, this was the only situation he could think of.
Mental breakdown is a condition that leads to mental derangement, which is extremely dangerous. However, for certain exceptional geniuses, it may be the ideal world where fantasy and reality coexist.
Some people can control how dreams unfold, and Luo Burang, with his extremely high mental strength, certainly has a high probability of doing so.
In this self-controlled world of mental manipulation, the manipulators are like the masters of their own domain, able to do almost anything they want until the illusion disappears and reality returns.
"The path of spiritual practice for the masses is defined by the masses themselves; I cannot possibly pave the way for everything so that people can simply repeat it!"
"They have to find their own way out; I can only offer them a temporary solution!"
"Life is death, and death is life!"
He mumbled something under his breath, and Luo Burang began to express himself in a slurred manner.
"Sequence lock self-destructing?"
Having witnessed Ren Anran's enlightenment, Luo Burang believed that it would be difficult for others to imitate, which led him to continue exploring the issue.
However, when it came to the continuation problem, Luo did not allow the sequence lock to provide an insurance measure.
From the ambiguous expression, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Luo Burang seemed to be practicing Gene Fighting Technique to cause the sequence lock to collapse and explode.
This is a suicidal Gene Fighting Technique; you either never use it in your entire life, or you use it once in your life and then die.
Zhang Xuezhou cannot say that this solution is bad; Luo Burang did indeed solve the problem of the sequence lock being coveted.
If a demon can self-destruct its inner core upon death, and its desperate attack can severely injure or even kill its opponent, Zhang Xuezhou felt that few people would be willing to hunt demons anymore.
"Wonderful!"
After realizing what had happened, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but give Luo Burang a thumbs up.
This is equivalent to giving the choice to the Sequence Holder themselves: whether they want to choose cultivation to avoid future troubles, how some disloyal individuals should choose as the sequence lock continues to develop, and even the possibility of mutual destruction in a certain death situation.
The other world experienced a long period of turmoil during the Golden Core cultivation era, with constant hunting and counter-hunting, and even now, the hunting of Demon Beast continues. This world, however, has taken precautions in advance, so the thoughts of those with ulterior motives may be nipped in the bud before they even emerge.
Zhang Xuezhou's praise was similar.
"People in this world steal this and that, but very few people actually steal bombs!"
If Luo Burang's solution has any flaws, it's probably that it would displease those Sequence Holder, since this kind of self-destructing sequence lock fighting technique would result in certain death, with no chance of a second chance.
