Piling Up Quantity
"Knew!"
"No problem, you wait for him there. Don't ask him anything if he gets the better deal. If he asks for help, take him with you and run!"
As expected, Zhang Xuezhou received a communication from Cai Guoli while traveling to the Bisri region.
He replied with two sentences before hanging up.
"Have they broken away from Qin Meng?" Ren Anran asked.
"It's uncertain, but it's good to let Xu Lu go and scout out the situation first!"
Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, indicating that he couldn't be completely certain in the short term, and he also had no time to worry about Qinmeng Biotechnology, which might overstep its bounds.
His current testing objective is to unite the rebels, establish a nation, and consolidate their fortunes.
As long as it can generate fortune, whether it's condensing fortune beads or using them to promote fortune techniques and bring some good luck, Zhang Xuezhou felt that anything was worth doing.
Zhang Xuezhou still pinned his hopes on good luck, thinking of pushing forward the progress of the R-series catalyst as quickly as possible, so that he could enter the Seventh Sequence like Ren Anran.
"If I had known that the Void Furnace would require the use of his full strength, I would have targeted him less aggressively back then," Ren Anran said regretfully.
"Memories cannot be locked away!"
Zhang Xuezhou murmured something.
He vaguely sensed that something forgotten was trying to surface in his mind.
"If one's mental strength is greatly enhanced, forgotten memories will resurface," Ren Anran said. "However, the purity of the medicine tested by the Void Furnace wasn't quite there, and coupled with the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique I unleashed, his current memories are somewhat confused!"
Is the purification process inadequate?
The second-generation drug for the Heavenly God General, promoted by Ren Anran, clearly still has some problems.
Luo Man's involvement allowed the Heavenly God General advance the second-generation medicine a step further, but its application to everyone's own conditions was not perfect.
Either the condition stabilizes after testing the drug in the virtual furnace, or it requires injecting the drug to significantly enhance mental strength, thus avoiding the drawbacks of the second-generation drug from the Heavenly God General.
"Perhaps something is missing," Ren Anran said.
"How about trying chalcedony?" Zhang Xuezhou suggested.
"After purification, only some petrified material remains, which has no special effects and cannot be added to medicine to produce any effect!"
Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran had a scientific research exchange.
Compared to Zhang Xuezhou's bewilderment at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum, Zhang Xuezhou would be very good at talking in this kind of situation.
Of course, the matters Zhang Xuezhou discussed were official business, and no personal matters were involved.
Zhang Manqian was used to it, Zhong Rang was clearly somewhat uncomfortable with it.
Whether there were other people around or no one was around, Zhong Rang noticed that Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran were discussing something completely unrelated to male-female relationships.
If Zhong Rang didn't know that the two had already tacitly agreed to be a couple, Zhong Rang have seriously doubted whether the two had a close relationship.
"Spiritual Qi cannot be captured; we can only see if there is a possibility of nurturing it!"
"That's what I thought too. We've already prepared a batch of medicine and sent it to the imperial mausoleum for storage!"
The Heavenly God General's potion was a forbidden drug during the Luofu Dynasty and a closely guarded secret sought by many Lineage, yet its core ingredients can be formulated even in today's basic laboratories.
If it weren't for the fact that this medicine has such strong negative effects and that the raw materials are prone to various drawbacks, Ren Anran would have liked to publish it and gather a group of people to study it.
At this point, all she could do was try to find a direction, conduct drug trials on a small scale, and promote the use of various methods to develop a mental drug that was compatible with their own bodies.
"The downside is that it makes it difficult to promote the normal growth of mental power after the injection. The upside is that it causes amnesia, which, combined with the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, can temporarily make you forget the Technique Method you are good at," Ren Anran said. "If we successfully develop the second-generation drug and have a stable and reliable way to increase mental power, you can also choose to combine this flawed drug with the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique to achieve amnesia, thereby gaining a single choice in Divine Ability abilities."
"Looks like all that's missing is a favorable opportunity!"
In another world, Zhang Xuezhou wanted to rely on the Heavenly Court's Immortal Venerable's temporary amnesia Technique Method and then use the Emperor's Haotian Mirror to restore his memories. In the real world, the unexpected development of the second-generation medicine of the Heavenly God General created the possibility of choosing Divine Ability.
He and Ren Anran spoke in hushed tones, discussing drugs and Mental Strengthening, and finally reaching the Sole Self Realm that they both wanted to attain.
"True realms are also built up over time. The stronger the foundation, the easier it is to overcome obstacles ahead," Ren Anran murmured. "I feel my current accumulation is insufficient; otherwise, I would have had the opportunity to break through to the second level of Divine Ability!"
"Sole Self Realm involves the bridge to the earth..."
"The Earth Bridge is a new great cycle. As long as you stand firmly on the ground, you can gain a continuous flow of Law Power. However, it still follows the principle of accumulation. If you can do this, and polish your acupoints as much as possible, our Sole Self Realm may come naturally!"
"This accumulation seems to be..."
Our losses will far exceed those of ordinary people!
After the Yin-Yang School's Realm Technique were merged, the cultivation level of Yin-Yang School cultivators was almost fixed from then on, making it difficult to advance any further.
It took Zhang Xuezhou a while to realize that these seniors might indeed be limited by the resources available for cultivation.
In their pursuit of breakthroughs in cultivation, many Yin-Yang School cultivators exhausted all resources to achieve fusion, leaving them practically penniless after their breakthroughs. The prospect of Struggle again to amass even more abundant, perhaps ten times greater, cultivation resources than before is virtually impossible.
The cost of this fusion of cultivation methods is far beyond what cultivators can bear, and there aren't enough ' Human Pill ' cultivators to hunt, thus making it a dead end for cultivation.
Zhang Xuezhou had some suspicions in his mind and had spent extra rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures to forcibly cultivate, while Ren Anran gave an affirmative answer.
In terms of judgment and perception, Ren Anran has a great advantage, unlike Zhang Xuezhou who only dares to think but not to make a complete judgment.
"The high cost of cultivation is a disadvantage, but our ability to withstand it is an advantage. Other Realm Technique probably can't withstand it as well as our bodies, right?" Ren Anran asked in a low voice.
"Ordinary Realm Technique cannot withstand the accumulation of power and will become ineffective. The Yin-Yang Realm Technique's resilience far surpasses that of others!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement.
Stumbling and struggling forward, Zhang Xuezhou and his companions eventually returned to their starting point.
Before he promoted the Kunpeng Combat Technique, the committee's direction for him was to accumulate unlimited resources.
For him at the time, the only way to have a deterrent effect with weak genes was to forcefully accumulate sheer numbers.
The drawback of this method is the high energy expenditure, while on the other hand, whether the practitioner's body can withstand the continuous accumulation is another matter entirely.
Everyone knows that the more energy you accumulate, the stronger you become, but in the Scarlet Alliance State, only the Zhou Household's Black Armor Combat Technique can follow the path of accumulation; other Gene Fighting Technique have a limited range.
The rewards from the sequencing event were somewhat perfunctory, and it was also determined that Zhang Xuezhou would stop at the Third Sequence, which led him to combine Ren Yisheng's efforts to create the infinite stacking of the Kunpeng Combat Technique.
Although the events of that year are in the past, and Zhang Xuezhou has adjusted the direction of the Kunpeng Combat Technique by relying on genetic evolution, their cultivation has not escaped this method of accumulating energy.
"Our bodies also have limits," Zhang Xuezhou cautioned. "This method will definitely have an end!"
"This doesn't mean the end until we reach our limit," Ren Anran said. "If we have to make changes in the future, at least we should bring this path to its end!"
That makes sense!
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
Regardless of whether it's wasteful or not, the options available to them are limited, and they have no choice in the matter.
Zhang Xuezhou would seize any opportunity that allowed him to forcibly build up his reputation.
Whether it's Ren Anran's 'Nascent Soul Transformation' or Zhang Xuezhou's ' Human Pill ' that boosts cultivation, both can continuously propel one upwards, even breaking through limits to reach the Sole Self Realm.
The difference between the two lies in their different utilization rates of cultivation resources. Compared to Ren Anran's fusion with the Nascent Soul stage, Zhang Xuezhou's method of using elixirs appears extremely crude, and the cost is likely several times higher than Ren Anran's.
If the transformation into an infant can be achieved, Zhang Xuezhou will also need to undergo changes.
This does not contradict his efforts to promote the Nascent Soul Technique everywhere in search of a way out. If he can achieve the transformation to the Qi Realm Technique, Zhang Xuezhou's consumption of cultivation resources will inevitably decrease significantly.
"If the efficiency of the Nascent Soul Technique can be greatly improved, the Sole Self Realm one step away from me!"
Ren Anran whispered.
For Zhang Xuezhou, his current cultivation capacity means the continuous accumulation of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. For Ren Anran, she can only rely on the Qin Meng Secret Stone to greatly enhance her Nascent Soul technique, so that she can continue to move forward using the Yin-Yang School's "Human Pill Elixir".
The cultivation of Yin-Yang School's Realm Technique has not been changed; what has changed is the way resources are acquired.
When the killing of fellow cultivators became a means of developing external resources, the Yin-Yang School's cultivation techniques returned to normal.
