Black-Tipped Chicken

Zhang Xuezhou was aware of Zhang Manqian's hallucination symptoms.

But when Zhang Manqian's hallucinations uncovered some of his own hidden problems, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Zhang Xuezhou did not experience the symptoms Zhang Manqian mentioned, but the Buddhist monk did.

This was something Zhang Manqian was unaware of, yet Zhang Manqian described it.

"Besides seeing me jump off a building before, what else have you seen in this hallucination?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Another time, Professor Ren came to our old house and went crazy," Zhang Manqian recalled.

"Has the professor gone mad?"

Zhang Xuezhou asked several times in a low voice, confirming some details that sent chills down his spine.

Physiognomy includes the ability to predict the future, and Zhang Manqian seems to possess a similar ability naturally.

This ability may be correct or it may be wrong, but it will undoubtedly be more likely to be biased towards what might happen in the future.

"It's inconvenient to practice Hongku's inheritance jade over there, but at least we won't be able to be outmaneuvered by Hongku here!"

Zhang Manqian's hallucinations may not be an illness, but rather a special kind of precognitive ability. However, this ability is extremely unstable, and forcibly exerting it could cause significant damage to her body.

Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a few seconds and decided that he could try practicing Acupoint-Fixing Technique and Person-Fixing Technique in real life.

If this ability could be passed on to Zhang Manqian, it might allow Zhang Manqian to unleash it more easily and gain a clearer understanding of her own condition.

The Star-Fixing Technique, Acupoint-Fixing Technique, and Person-Fixing Technique originated from the lineage of the Fuxi Physiognomy School and were later passed down to Wu Chao and Zhang Xuezhou through Hongku.

This was a cultivation technique that Zhang Xuezhou had acquired but had no idea how to use.

No matter how powerful the inheritance was, he didn't dare touch it in the slightest.

The reason for this is nothing more than Hongku.

Zhang Xuezhou's path of cultivation was fraught with difficulties. He learned the Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Incantation at the beginning, which almost eliminated his possibility of engaging in cultivation in other Sacred Land.

He studied the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture diligently in order to counter Hongku, but was then controlled by the Venerable One.

He learned a Technique Within the Clouds from Venerable Lei, which almost crippled him.

Zhang Xuezhou's experience learning from the Emperor was even more difficult to describe. Although the Heavenly Court's techniques did not leave Zhang Xuezhou with any aftereffects, the Emperor forcibly pulled him twice, which made his time travel extremely irregular, resulting in him falling into the floodwaters of the Jianjiang River and not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

It seems that Zhang Xuezhou had a lot of good luck on his path of spiritual cultivation, but none of that good luck was without its troubles.

If Hongku were to be involved as well, Zhang Xuezhou felt it was entirely possible.

He had already faced many hardships along the way and didn't want to add another one.

However, it's impossible for Hongku to find an extraterrestrial demon to travel to reality. What Zhang Xuezhou couldn't learn there, he could create freely in reality.

As long as it can be translated and adapted to the real world, Zhang Xuezhou felt it was worth learning.

This is especially true given that Zhang Manqian's physical symptoms are quite similar to those of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

This is not only about solving Zhang Manqian's problem, but also has the potential to solve the problem Zhang Xuezhou is facing.

If Zhang Manqian had perceived the illusion for a longer period of time and had gained a more complete understanding of the whole picture, it would have allowed the person facing danger to be better prepared.

"I need to get back there to memorize the Person-Fixing Technique and Acupoint-Fixing Technique!"

Zhang Xuezhou's many plans all depend on his survival in another world.

"The problem actually lies in my real body!"

Besides considering Zhang Manqian's needs, Zhang Xuezhou was also pondering what he needed to prepare to avoid disaster.

"The Buddhist disciple once mentioned that the problem of facing the Black Core only arises when one enters the Divine Ability Realm, but let alone the Divine Ability Realm, I don't even know when I'll be able to step into the Consciousness Creation Realm, which is above the True Spirit Realm, especially for me in reality. How could this possibly trigger such a problem?"

The True Spirit Realm no longer requires the Origin-Nurturing Pill, but the Spirit-Forging Pill.

Zhang Xuezhou had never refined the Spirit-Forging Pill, nor had he ever taken it.

The complexity of the Spirit-Forging Pill far exceeds that of the Origin-Nurturing Pill.

The necessary resources and preparations are essential for refining the Spirit-Forging Pill.

This also means that it will take Zhang Xuezhou a long time to advance to the next level, and reaching the Divine Ability Realm will be an extremely long process.

Zhang Xuezhou simply couldn't understand why this situation would occur earlier than expected.

"Could it be that my current Divine Sense is already approaching the level of the Divine Ability Realm?"

If Zhang Xuezhou were to consider what special advantages he might have, he could only think of the closest possibility that he was to a cultivator at the Divine Ability Realm.

To escape the extraterrestrial demons, one must increase their strength, and even guide high-level combat power at a lower realm.

But after Zhang Xuezhou started down this path, he found that things did not develop as he had expected.

"We must promote the development of the Kunpeng Fighting Technique, and we also need the ability to maintain our minds from being manipulated!"

If Zhang Xuezhou has any way to protect himself right now, he can only pin his hopes on the Kunpeng Fighting Technique that Ren Yisheng introduced at the beginning.

If those old scholars on the Sequence Committee, who were skilled at deducing Gene Fighting Technique, were to take it a step further, he would only have a modicum of resistance after mastering it.

Whether it's the Technique Within the Clouds, the Nine Evasion Techniques, or the Drowsiness Technique and Physiognomy Technique, these are all for dealing with external threats. Zhang Xuezhou's threat comes from within, and only the Kunpeng Fighting Technique and the Realm Cultivation Technique can possibly defend against it.

After thinking it through, he wasn't too flustered.

Having experienced a near-death experience, once he adjusted his mindset, he could never fall back into that trap.

Compared to Zhang Weimeng's current panic, the siblings remained calm.

"We're already at the hospital, getting some tests done. We don't need the money!"

If Zhang Xuezhou was an accident, then Zhang Manqian has always been the pride of the Zhang family, a well-rounded individual who excels in moral character, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor skills.

Aside from Zhang Manqian's lack of social experience, Zhang Manqian has almost no flaws.

But Zhang Weimeng didn't expect that Zhang Manqian's health was also not optimistic.

If he hadn't taken Origin-Nurturing Pill paste, Zhang Weimeng would almost have thought that Zhang Manqian had some incurable disease.

"I don't mind getting checked, even if they can't find anything wrong, my health has always been perfectly normal!"

Zhang Manqian waved her hand, indicating that she had already undergone the examination.

None of them escaped the potential impact of the meteor.

But for the Zhang family, they have already done everything within their capabilities.

Like Zhang Xuezhou, while Zhang Manqian was constantly improving her fighting skills to cope with the Sequencing Conference, she also focused on the other half of her work: Mental Strengthening Chapter and the Yin-Yang Nine Heavens Great Compassion Incantation.

The former allows her to fight and charge, while the latter not only sustains the Supreme Purity True Technique but may even cure their symptoms.

Not only is Zhang Xuezhou able to calm down, but Zhang Manqian is also able to remain composed.

The two waited for Song Fengying's mental state to recover, whispering to each other continuously, their faces showing no sign of panic.

"The guinea fowl in the lab are derived from the R25 Gene modification. During the breeding of the guinea fowl, the gene modification equivalent was about one-eighth. In addition to this breed, there was another early breed called the Wushao chicken. The meat of this breed is bland, but the bones are suitable for making soup and pairing with noodles. The data indicates that this breed was modified with one-quarter of the R25 gene equivalent, but it is not selling well in the market..."

The siblings shared their different takeaways.

Zhang Xuezhou also heard something that greatly interested him.

Laboratories often produce strange products that don't meet market demands.

For example, there's the guinea fowl, which is suitable for high-end consumption, and the black-spotted chicken, which is only suitable for making bone broth.

But for Zhang Xuezhou, whether the food is delicious or bland, as long as his body has the corresponding needs, his appetite will not reject the corresponding food.

The fact that he had been consuming pearl chicken meat for nearly two years had caused a kind of transformation in his body, similar to the effects of Demon Power, and had also given Zhang Xuezhou the ability to glide short distances.

Given the right conditions, Zhang Xuezhou would certainly like to go even further.
