Two Amnesiacs

Xuanming is not a sucker.

Zhang Xuezhou's conversation with Xuanming was like a beggar plotting to plunder an emperor's Little Jin.

A hundred or two hundred coins would be an astronomical sum for a beggar, but it was just a tiny, insignificant amount from the emperor's Little Jin. Even a speck of meat stuck between his teeth could be far more valuable.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't contribute anything, and Xuanming didn't actually contribute anything either.

Whether it's the method used to condense Qi Luck Beads or the means to penetrate and protect armor, these are at best just some advanced knowledge.

This is similar to Zhang Xuezhou's response to the new emperor's remarks on "The War of Currencies," etc. Zhang Xuezhou did not feel that he would lose anything by sharing these contents.

However, this kind of knowledge, which seems to belong to a higher society, may not necessarily be well adapted to the present.

The content taught by Xuanming also presents the problem of being difficult to adapt to.

As for the three strands of profound energy that could save his life, they were mysterious, but to Xuanming they were just a drop in the ocean.

Both parties were at the stage of expressing their sincerity and paying a deposit, but neither could take any further steps.

Zhang Xuezhou gained some things, and Xuanming wasn't entirely wronged either, as he at least learned about the "Tomb Scripture." In the end, no one felt they had suffered a loss.

"Amazing!"

Just as Zhang Xuezhou had guessed, Ren Anran kept her distance, called for help, and even retrieved her service weapon.

If Zhang Xuezhou's expression turns sour, Ren Zhang Xuezhou could either order someone to forcibly knock the bronze tortoise out of his grasp, or shoot it down from a distance. After all, Zhang Xuezhou's physical strength in reality is not very high, and Ren Anran is well aware of Zhang Xuezhou's weaknesses.

However, these methods can only be considered as a backup plan. Zhang Xuezhou and Xuanming's communication was orderly and successful.

This is a completely different answer than when they encountered Ren Anran.

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran are no different. Zhang Xuezhou also doesn't know about the Qi Luck Bead and doesn't have any special trump cards to fight against it.

But as the talks went on, Zhang Xuezhou actually reached an agreement.

This is even facing an enraged Xuanming.

"Don't praise me like that, it makes me shy!"

After Ren Anran's praise, Zhang Xuezhou felt embarrassed.

"Apart from the three streams of profound energy, everything else is useless," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I don't even know if that profound energy can stay attached to my three souls and seven spirits indefinitely!"

Zhang Xuezhou hoped that Xuanming's methods would be effective, otherwise he might suffer the same fate as Huang Daoxian, needlessly giving points to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

"You'll definitely be able to put it on," Ren Anran encouraged.

"Hopefully," Zhang Xuezhou nodded, "If things don't go as hoped, it won't be too bad. I can't take it away, and neither can he. That will become a variable in future conflicts!"

Zhang Xuezhou was unsure whether Xuan Qi could participate in the transformation and traversal of the three souls and seven spirits. After all, his relationship with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon did not involve simple distance transfer, but rather the transformation of the tree and chair.

He pondered his various abilities and ultimately concluded that the matter wasn't a big deal, and at least things wouldn't get worse because of it.

If Ren Anran hadn't gone through a distorted journey and learned just how powerful the ' Hongku ' Zhang Xuezhou faced truly was, she felt she would never have been able to deeply understand and comprehend Zhang Xuezhou.

In this life-or-death struggle, Zhang Xuezhou did not give up on himself, nor did he fall into a frenzy of emotional outbursts at the slightest disagreement. Instead, he was remarkably magnanimous.

For Zhang Xuezhou, he can accept both gain and loss.

Zhang Xuezhou may have had flaws when he was young, but as he gets older, Zhang Xuezhou has broken free from constraints and his mentality has become more and more stable.

Just as Zhang Xuezhou could calmly face the Xuanming that Ren Anran feared, he could also calmly face the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon until their competition ended.

Ren Anran no longer thinks about what to do if she fails; all she thinks about now is whether she can contribute her strength to Zhang Xuezhou's efforts to break free from his cage.

"There will be many variables in the future," Ren Anran said. "And you are better than anyone else at grasping these variables!"

You've praised me a lot today, I'm almost not used to it!

Zhang Xuezhou carried Ning Que's backpack, his laughter never ceasing.

He moved with remarkable agility, placing the bronze tortoise that needed to be moved onto the flying vehicle, and then mentioned the Scripture of Luo Man introduced by the Void Furnace.

"Once Luo Man survives in a certain place, will taking her help her adapt to that environment?"

The secret medicine from the snake cave, used to stimulate the effects of the extract from Ferocious Beast, is of great use, but its most important application is to Zhang Xuezhou.

Zhang Xuezhou kept talking about the many potted plants of the Spirit Gathering Formation, while Ren Anran thought of that scorched black land.

For Ren Yisheng, who could potentially help Zhang Xuezhou, this was a much-needed medication.

If one can adapt to the environment of that distorted space, this is obviously far better than relying on equipment.

"I think you could consider incorporating ingredients from the Heavenly God General Medicine when you make it in the future. It might produce beneficial results!"

Ren Anran's thoughts were one thing, while Zhang Xuezhou's thoughts were another.

As a major medicine they are currently striving to cultivate, Jing Luoman is of great value. If Jing Luoman adapts to the environment of the Spirit Gathering Formation, it may produce a more spiritual effect, and may even provide Ren Anran with a new approach to developing the Heavenly God General Medicine Elixir.

I will definitely give it a try!

Ren Anran readily agreed.

Even with the addition of the X864 gene drug, the Heavenly God General Medicine, which was the main research area under Ren Anran's responsibility, failed to advance further.

If they want to continuously accumulate spiritual energy and undergo a transformation, they need higher-level medicinal assistance.

Ren Yisheng felt that the derivative control ability reached its limit after Chapter 7 of the Mental Strengthening Chapter. Zhang Xuezhou also tinkered with an external method called "Entwining Dragon and Circling Pillar True Fire Refining Golden Body" to enhance the spirit. Ren Anran obviously also had her own ideas.

Zhang Xuezhou's suggestion came at a very opportune time and will become an important branch of her future research.

"That virtual furnace has arrived at the research institute!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran discussed the Void Furnace. As the aircraft approached the B13 Research Institute, they saw Ren Yisheng and others standing in a row outside. Ren Anran, looking down, immediately knew who had come to the research institute.

She reminded Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou responded with a single word.

"Xu Lu's body should be fully recovered. I've been practicing the Yang Corporeal Soul Incarnation Technique these past few days and haven't been able to communicate with him. He's probably been waiting for me for a long time," Zhang Xuezhou said happily.

"No... don't discuss the sinkhole with Xu Lu," Ren Anran warned.

Zhang Xuezhou, who had lost his memory of the recent period, behaved relatively well, but for Xu Lu, whose memory had been erased by Ren Yisheng, things were not so simple.

"Young Master Zhang, you have to help me get justice! Look at that little Zuo from your Alliance States, he actually beat me up like this! If it weren't for Xiao Ren saving me, I would have been beaten to death!"

As soon as Zhang Xuezhou's aircraft landed, Xu Lu, wrapped in medical bandages, limped out of the research institute's reception room and loudly complained to Zhang Xuezhou.

"My father erased quite a few memories!"

Hearing that Xu Lu, who had defeated Zuo Lianguang, couldn't even tell the difference between victory and defeat, and thought he had been seriously injured, unconscious, and defeated, Ren Anran finally understood the level of Ren Yisheng's ability to erase memories.

The time periods during which Zhang Xuezhou and Xu Lu erased each other's memories were completely different.

This also leads to differences in the perception of time and events between the two, and things may become worse when compared.

"Xu Lu, my friend, you've actually been beaten to the point of amnesia?"

"My mind went blank. That Zuo Lianguang is too ruthless! How can your Alliance States let someone like him run rampant!"

"Zuo Lianguang... that bastard Zuo Lianguang, he's got some nerve, he actually dared to hit my friend..."

Zhang Xuezhou had clearly misunderstood something, and Xu Lu had also fallen into a misunderstanding.

Hearing the two people's questions, which were not synchronized but cleverly overlapped, and without the conflict and content verification caused by the asynchronous memories that Ren Anran had expected, she immediately felt relieved.
