A Case

"You mean Donghua's staff was burned away by the fire, and then a bunch of babies were born like cubs?"

"Perhaps the staff caused the poisonous tree to grow, or perhaps Donghua's staff was taken from this poisonous tree; the original unique item multiplied into many copies amidst the changes in the secret realm!"

"This is the Ninth Sequence!"

"We're still working on the Seventh Sequence, don't go so fast, we can't keep up!"

How should it be allocated?

With the body now possessing a protective layer, Zhang Xuezhou's control became much more agile, and the previous five to seven-day recovery period was no longer necessary.

He easily entered the Sinkhole No. 2 and also easily exited it, leaving the matter to others to discuss and allocate.

Law Treasure are not objects to be played with; they require years of nurturing to grow and break through their limits. They are difficult to use among many Sequence Holder in rotation, which inevitably makes them special. Even Zhang Xuezhou, who provided the wooden staff, did not arbitrarily control their distribution.

In the hall of the temporary committee in North Rehe, many committee members sat in their seats, while many alternate committee members stood on the periphery, and many former committee members who had withdrawn from the committee also arrived at the scene.

The hall was crowded but not noisy, with only a handful of people speaking.

For many, the Ninth Sequence was indeed too far away; it was something that many committee members had never even considered.

The development of Gene Sequence has indeed been too rapid, so rapid that even these pioneers felt the pressure.

What is needed now is not just following, but leading, which concerns the group beyond the thirteen individuals.

If a sequence stage requires the use of special items, it means that there is no established and mature direction at present. Even though Zhang Xuezhou and others are in the pioneering stage, the direction of the sequence is full of unknowns, and only people with sufficient ability can lead the way.

"Ren Yisheng is in the Eighth Sequence, and the direction he took to enter the Eighth Sequence is closely related to Ren Yisheng research in the spiritual realm. I think Ren Yisheng is qualified to possess a staff!"

When the allocation was brought up, almost no one on the committee spoke up, and in the end, Chairman Li Yingbo had to take the lead in proposing who could be allocated.

"There's no need to bring up Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran again," Li Yingbo said. "Everyone knows where these staffs came from, and you also understand the key to advancing the Seventh Sequence!"

"There are still ten staffs left," Wang Haoran coughed, reminding them.

"Luo Burang..."

"I haven't even stepped into the Seventh Sequence yet, let alone developed control over the Eighth Sequence!"

Li Yingbo just mentioned Luo Burang; after all, without Luo Burang's leadership, the Seventh Sequence could not possibly become a reality for rapid advancement.

In terms of contributions, Luo Burang was well enough to receive a huge share of the benefits.

But before he could finish speaking, Luo Burang waved his hand in refusal.

"I don't like shouldering heavy responsibilities either," Luo Burang said. "If I have difficulty reaching the Ninth Sequence in the future, it will be easy for someone to secretly plot against me!"

Luo Burang's social skills were as poor as ever, but he also described the most direct reality.

No one can guarantee that they will reach the Ninth Sequence, and no one can guarantee that they will lead others.

The Poison Tree Staff represents not only profit but also a heavy responsibility.

To be honest, Luo Burang felt that it was fine to handle such matters privately, but bringing them into the open was a completely different story.

However, Luo Burang had to admit that it was safer to put things out in the open. This would allow them to select the best and most suitable person to take charge, and would indeed maximize the interests of the group, so as not to cause undercurrents in the future and lead to conflicts similar to those between Western Capital City and the local areas in the past.

"Given the current experimental conditions, the difficulty of the Seventh Sequence will be greatly reduced. The real challenge lies in the Eighth Sequence," Li Yingbo said. "Only those who have developed control over their abilities are qualified to wield these staffs. As for whether the Ninth Sequence can be described in simple text and graphics, that requires top-tier talent to explore!"

"I need to remind everyone that there is no such thing as a free, step-by-step progression," Wang Haoran added. "Currently, the Seventh Sequence still has an inseparable relationship with the Qin Meng ferocious beasts. Anyone who reaches the Seventh Sequence through experimental conditions needs to cooperate, and even participate in Qin Meng's campaign to annihilate the beasts. The precedent of Clark being severely injured is right before our eyes, and Montes Bingo of the Seventh Sequence has been confirmed dead. The Seventh Sequence has interests, but also responsibilities, while the Ninth Sequence is involved in even more ways!"

"In the past, there were uneven distributions and communication problems Western Capital City and the provinces and cities. Now, we need to explain things completely and clearly," Li Yingbo said. "Our current committee must eliminate the problem of uneven distribution and must take responsibility, instead of becoming a rent-seeking class and ultimately becoming mediocre. Right now, we're dealing with the allocation of opportunities for the Seventh Sequence experiments and the things upon which the Ninth Sequence relies. Let's all speak freely and strive to reach a consensus!"

Is my corpus cavernosum disease treatable?

The committee members sat solemnly, and no one spoke up until Zhao Tianhua, who was lying down, finally asked a question.

"It'll cure you!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded with a smile, and Zhao Tianhua's face immediately turned rosy. His body instantly expanded by three-tenths, and his originally loose clothes quickly tightened, causing the recliner to creak and groan.

Some people benefit from the treatment, while others suffer from the illness.

Zhao Tianhua is the most obvious example of failure that everyone can see.

If it weren't for the outstanding abilities of Zhang Xuezhou, Luo Burang, and others, Zhao Tianhua would have been far more than just one person who fell Seventh Sequence of the test experiment.

This also confirms that those who lead the way must possess exceptional qualities; otherwise, it will bring about far-reaching and disastrous consequences.

On this point, even the former committee members who had reached the Seventh Sequence did not speak out casually.

"There's no need to be so tense, and don't pin all your hopes on this one thing. Otherwise, no one could handle it. The world is ever-changing. These staves are more like a catalyst. As long as the owner can make good use of them to amplify their effects, or obtain more factors that are beneficial to the development of the Gene Sequence, or have outstanding combat power to assist in hunting ferocious beasts, or have certain research capabilities, then these staves will not have been wasted!"

In the end, Zhang Xuezhou smoothed things over and eased the solemn atmosphere somewhat.

"Could we register first, and then, after reaching the Seventh Sequence, seek our respective knowledge and see if we are qualified to master it?"

A few seconds after Zhang Xuezhou finished speaking, someone in the alternate committee seats stood up and spoke.

"Alternate Committee Member Ning's suggestion is quite good," Li Yingbo said. "Currently, there are few who can reach the Seventh Sequence, and none of you are sure of yourselves. Those who are interested can register first, and we will select them later!"

"This staff weighs between 1,300 and 1,800 jin (approximately 650-700 kg), and only those with immense strength and qualified abilities can wield it. Leaving aside abilities, character, and aptitude, it would be difficult for us to even gather ten more users right now," Zhang Manqian said, standing up. "If you ask me, those with the necessary abilities should take it first, and then several portions should be reserved for newcomers who are lagging behind in development but possess outstanding potential!"

"What Alternate Committee Member Zhang said makes sense," Li Yingbo nodded. "This isn't just a matter of allocation; it also involves individual abilities and potential. These staves, which have the potential to reach the Ninth Sequence, can indeed be divided into two batches: one batch for those who go first, and the other batch for those who come later. Whether they currently have an advantage in the sequence or have potential, everyone has the possibility of obtaining one!"

"Anyone who objects, please sit down and speak!"

Wang Haoran tapped the auxiliary hammer, thus reinforcing Li Yingbo's words, which prompted many other committee members to do the same, and also caused many people to quickly stand up.

The habitual sitting posture of the crowd easily leads to agreement, Wang Haoran suggested that they stand up in the opposite direction.

With a simple psychological setup, aside from two or three alternate committee members who didn't react in time and were subsequently dragged out, the opinions of the crowd were clearly quite unified.

"If the Great Han Dynasty could distribute resources in this way, and if this method could be implemented at every level, why would anyone be dissatisfied?"

Without practice, everything is just theoretical; real-world cases provide guidance.

On the large screen in the temporary meeting room, enlarged faces appeared, allowing Li Yingbo and others to clearly assess their psychological state.

Seeing that everyone had properly allocated the powerful artifacts that could lead to the Ninth Sequence, and that no one had raised any objections, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the allocation method was worth learning from, so as to reduce human disasters in the Great Han Dynasty.
