"The topic of mental longevity? Haven't you always been researching genetics? Why are you suddenly interested in the topic of mental longevity?"

Having received news of Zhang Manqian's discharge from the hospital, Professor Luo Hui, after his usual polite and caring remarks, began to mention the real purpose of his inquiry into Zhang Xuezhou.

When Ren Yisheng was teaching psychology at the Canglan Academy, his research topics were not particularly noteworthy. Even when Professor Luo Hui saw them, he only thought they were projects that were used to obtain research funding by fulfilling teaching duties.

This isn't because Professor Luo Hui is slow to react, but rather because the topic of studying mental longevity is too abstract.

Everyone is pursuing physical health, Ren Yisheng focuses on mental health.

This is more like studying ancient ascetic monks who pursued inner peace.

As society continues to develop and living standards improve, the profession of ascetic monks has disappeared.

No one needs these ascetics anymore, no one is bored enough to want to starve themselves for a long time to temper their will, and no one cares how strong their willpower was in the past.

Ascetic monks and their religions were relegated to the corners of history as time marched on.

But Professor Luo Hui never imagined that one day he would need to pick it up again.

Starting from scratch is undoubtedly extremely difficult, making it hard to find direction.

But Ren Yisheng is someone who studies this subject, and is even one of the top sequencers.

Moreover, the content of Ren Yisheng's cultivation was not considered a secret.

This includes the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique as the core of gene-based combat, and the Mental Strengthening Chapter and the Imperial Sword as supplementary techniques.

Perhaps it was because Zhang Manqian's reckless pulling caused them to be electrocuted and nearly killed, or perhaps it was because Luo Tianming used electric torture to force them again, that they received a message.

"Immortality... that requires an extremely high level of spiritual power!"

"You lowly people... you only focus on external cultivation, without inner cultivation, and you will never be able to realize immortality!"

These two short sentences explain why Luo Zhong was able to survive even with only his head remaining.

Although Luo Zhong had other secrets he hadn't revealed, Professor Luo Hui and the others didn't want to wait until they fully knew the secrets, but unfortunately, they lacked the ability to do so.

Even laying the groundwork beforehand is better than having nothing at all.

The benefits brought by Luo Gaogao's sequencing conference are significant, but compared to 'immortality,' Luo Gaogao's actions are insignificant.

Professor Luo Hui wanted to ask Ren Yisheng directly, but Ren Yisheng was imprisoned, and almost no one except his relatives could see Ren Yisheng.

As for Wang Haoran, who works for Ren Yisheng's team, let's not even talk about him.

Because their networks were different, Professor Luo Hui assisted Wang Yi'an, which led to Wang Haoran's elimination. Professor Luo Hui felt that Wang Haoran must hate him to death.

As for Song Bu'er's family being destroyed and his life ruined, he probably didn't have the time or inclination to do such things.

According to Professor Luo Hui's information channels, Qin Wenhan's recent condition seems somewhat abnormal.

Zhu Liangping and Li Yingbo, due to Lineage reasons, had to move between several teams, and their connection with Ren Yisheng was not very strong, so their knowledge of him was relatively limited.

If we continue down the list, we arrive at Ren Anran and Ren Wuyang.

The Ren Household has undergone a major upheaval, and given Ren Anran's indifferent attitude towards his uncle Luo Hui, Professor Luo Hui felt he wouldn't get any information out of him.

Next comes the advanced student who follows Ren Yisheng.

This is the lowest level of interpersonal relationship that Ren Yisheng is connected with.

Professor Luo Hui didn't expect much from an advanced student, but Ren Anran once revealed an important piece of information, mentioning that Zhang Xuezhou was learning Dragon Elephant Combat Technique and other related content.

This inevitably led Zhang Xuezhou to delve into the Mental Strengthening Chapter.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou doesn't know much, it should be enough to give him basic knowledge, or even just an introduction.

After much back and forth, this is why Professor Luo Hui sought out Zhang Xuezhou after learning of Zhang Manqian's discharge from the hospital.

"As you get older, it's inevitable to feel Kongxu inside, so you think about filling your spiritual world!"

Hearing Zhang Xuezhou's response, Professor Luo Hui had no choice but to come up with a reason.

"If you Kongxu, you should find a partner. Once you have a partner, you won't Kongxu anymore," Zhang Xuezhou replied.

"I have no interest in older women," Professor Luo Hui replied.

"With your status, a few injections of Life No. 1 would be enough to find a young woman!"

"I'm attracted to young women... but women can't heal the Kongxu in my heart!"

Professor Luo Hui was about to offer a rebuttal.

However, he found that this explanation was useless and had completely deviated from his original intention of communicating with Zhang Xuezhou.

He wants Mental Strengthening content right now. He hopes Zhang Xuezhou can explain some of the relevant information in a more serious manner. Even if the content is not comprehensive, it's better to provide it to the illiterate than nothing.

"I am Luo Tianming, Luo Hui's father. I am ninety-two years old, which is close to what you call old age. I have heard that Ren Yisheng has been researching a topic on spiritual longevity, seeking to extend life in sync with the physical body?"

Professor Luo Hui's call with Zhang Xuezhou yielded no results; not only did the conversation stray from the main topic, but it also lingered endlessly on the subject of women.

Upon hearing Zhang Xuezhou begin explaining the yin-yang principle between men and women, which he likened to the inevitability of fish not being able to live without water and birds yearning for the sky, Luo Tianming grabbed the communicator and began to communicate with Zhang Xuezhou personally.

Yes, that's true!

Zhang Xuezhou's response came through the communicator, which made Luo Tianming glance at him slightly, indicating that Professor Luo Hui should be more direct when asking questions.

"I'd like to study the subject of Ren Yisheng, but I don't know..."

"Yes, Professor Ren warmly welcomes others to participate in the learning!"

Before Luo Tianming could finish explaining his request, Zhang Xuezhou responded with great enthusiasm.

"Look," Luo Tianming pointed to the communicator, "How cooperative this kid is!"

"Then please ask again!"

Professor Luo Hui was embarrassed and could only let his father show off.

But he realized that Luo Tianming's showing off didn't last long.

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Xuezhou began to recommend that Luo Tianming and Ren Yisheng have a face-to-face meeting.

"Can't you teach?" Luo Tianming asked doubtfully.

"I'm just a junior in college, how could I possibly teach you? That would only be a waste of your time!"

Over the communicator, Zhang Xuezhou spoke eloquently and repeatedly recommended that Luo Tianming and Ren Yisheng should get in touch.

"But I heard that Ren Yisheng was imprisoned? That place is very difficult to get into," Luo Tianming said, frowning.

"You want to get in? That's easy!"

Zhang Xuezhou almost asked Luo Tianming to volunteer to enter the Twilight Mansion.

He was quite reluctant to associate with older sequence members, who had extremely contradictory attitudes toward lifespan.

On the one hand, they hope to live a long life, but on the other hand, they cannot guarantee that they will live a sane life.

At this moment, Luo Tianming spoke with perfect clarity, sounding just like a normal person.

But Zhang Xuezhou couldn't be sure when the other party would suddenly lose their memory.

Upon hearing that the other party wanted to get closer to him, and even wanted to hear Zhang Xuezhou explain Mental Strengthening, Zhang Xuezhou almost turned off the communicator immediately.

He tried to persuade Luo Tianming with earnest words, which made Luo Tianming frown repeatedly.

"Do I really want to go with Ren Yisheng?"

As a member of the old guard, Luo Tianming was undoubtedly extremely resistant to the new regulations.

Even though his lifespan had exceeded the new regulations, he did not report it as required, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to the law.

However, Ren Yisheng, who studies mental health issues, was imprisoned, and few people were able to contact Ren Yisheng in a normal way.

If he wanted to obtain the best content in this area, Luo Tianming only had one path to choose from.
