Golden Cores for All

"This bloodline is truly abnormal," Hu Mang exclaimed.

"That's really perverted."

Even professionals agree with this view.

Sun Jidao felt that this trip abroad was definitely the right decision.

However, his gaze soon became intense, and he led the Hu Mang to another laboratory in a very mysterious manner.

In the laboratory, his assistant, Little Zhang, was operating a scanning detector, scanning the cross-section of an arm.

The arm was tethered in mid-air by hundreds of thick iron chains, creating a very rugged scene.

As soon as I entered the room, a terrifying aura of Human Immortal Qi and Blood rushed towards me. That Qi and Blood was like an invisible heat wave, carrying a tyrannical and scorching aura, as if it would scorch everything around it.

"It's incredible. Both have powerful bloodlines, but the Longbo Bloodline, when unactivated, has a body temperature even lower than a normal cultivator. However, this puppet's surface temperature can be maintained above 100 degrees Celsius for a long time, and its internal temperature can even reach over 1000 degrees Celsius—and this is even during its splitting process."

Hu Mang nodded silently.

Little Zhang, who was in charge of the testing, was covered in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Unfortunately, to ensure the accuracy of the test data as much as possible, laboratory personnel conducting the tests are prohibited from using any Law Power Law Artifact.

Little Zhang himself was almost dying of heat.

"Little Zhang, take a break first, then go and turn on the holographic Divine Sense projection on the control panel."

"Okay!"

Little Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and rushed out of the lab, stripping off his shirt after only a few steps.

"Shall we go out first?" Doctor Sun asked.

Hu Mang silently shook his head. Before, he had simply felt that the Human Immortal Lightning Puppet had abundant Qi and Blood.

However, when Hu Mang's martial arts realm reached the level of "Shattering the Void," the feeling was completely different.

He could feel that the other person's Qi and Blood were like a surging river, and beneath the riverbed, something deeper was hidden; that thing was like a sleeping dragon, lurking deep within the Qi and Blood, carrying an ancient and savage will, that will was like a sealed prisoner, sealed within this puppet's body.

When he focused his attention on this riverbed of Qi and Blood, he discovered that the Qi and Blood contained patterns like Daoist talismans. These patterns carried an indescribable sense of order, like some kind of ancient rune, imprinted deep within the Qi and Blood, carrying a power that transcended the physical body.

"Is this the source of the power of Human Immortal?"

Hu Mang's heart stirred; he really wanted to simulate these "patterns" within his own Qi and Blood.

With his near-"Shattering the Void" realm, he is capable of such an evolution.

After hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

As a major investor and behind-the-scenes boss, how could he conduct human experiments himself? Especially since his martial arts instincts warned him that such an operation was extremely dangerous.

Let's wait for Phase III clinical trials. If we really can't wait, we'll go for Phase II.

After memorizing these "rune evolutions" using his powerful memory, the Hu Mang withdrew from the "Shattering the Void".

This was not an illusion; Hu Mang felt that the "void cage" in front of him was becoming clearer.

Unaware that his boss had prepared another project for him, Doctor Sun led the Hu Mang to a testing station outside.

Meanwhile, Little Zhang, the assistant, had already changed into a clean t-shirt and was using his Divine Sense to control the testing platform. Soon, a model of a Human Immortal Lightning Puppet's arm was automatically generated.

Doctor Sun's expression also became slightly serious. After all, he had been here for almost half a year and had been slacking off the boss's funding for some time. He should produce some results eventually.

After all, what if the boss goes berserk and cuts off funding or even cuts off his own kidney?

"Boss, this is my development direction and content for the past few weeks..."

A Study on the Spatial Location and System Structure of Innate Acupoints

To prevent the Hu Mang from being unable to understand, special annotations were made.

Hu Mang glanced through it briefly, let out a soft "hmm," and became increasingly surprised as he read on.

It's not that all the papers they submitted were subpar.

On the contrary, their achievements are unexpectedly numerous, including various types of Innate Acupoints models, Innate Meridians circulation models, and related body positioning characteristics and internal evidence observations and discussions.

These thick volumes of experimental data are sufficient to prove that Doctor Sun's hair loss during the past six months, from half-bald to mostly bald, was not in vain.

Hu Mang counted them and found that there were a total of thirty-two Innate Acupoints models.

While various academic theories were still being debated inside Heavenly Gate about the existence of "Innate Acupoints," Doctor Sun had already made progress in his research.

These research materials, even if placed in Heavenly Gate, would be considered extremely advanced.

Of course, exploring uninhabited areas and simply copying others are not the same thing.

Doctor Sun's achievements are largely due to the Human Immortal Lightning Puppet.

"You haven't published any papers?" Hu Mang noticed that the other party's experimental results were all unpublished.

This is quite unusual for a scientific researcher who values their research results above all else.

"No."

Why?

Sun Jidao said in a complicated tone, "There are two reasons. First, the data in my papers lacks supporting evidence. Unless you, boss, allow me to take this 'Human Immortal' back to Heavenly Gate, papers without sufficient real-world cultivation evidence are just pure theory."

Hu Mang naturally could not allow the other party to do that.

Moreover, both parties signed a contract with a legal deed in this regard.

His main reason for coming overseas was to evade Heavenly Gate's surveillance.

"As for the second reason," Sun Jidao sighed, "Now that I'm so popular, I'd better lay low for a while."

"Ha?"

After the other party explained, Hu Mang realized that in his eyes, Doctor Sun was just a miserable research student, the kind who could become a monk without any problems once he lost all his hair, and who would often squat at the gate to play games with Old Third. He was just an ordinary researcher.

However, within Heavenly Gate, he and Wu Cai are currently at the forefront of the scientific research community. After they published their paper on the Golden Core Reshaping, it not only became the latest hot topic in the scientific research community, but also made the headlines of Heavenly Gate's social news several times.

Unfortunately, Foundation Establishment is too low, Nascent Soul is too far away, and only Golden Core is something that most people can hope for and reach with effort.

The research paper on "Repeated Core Formation" published by Doctor Sun, especially the part about reducing the difficulty of elixir formation and improving the quality of the Golden Core elixir, was repeatedly discussed, studied, and criticized, regardless of whether people understood it or not.

Hu Mang also searched online and found a bunch of related news articles.

Major Breakthrough: On the Feasibility of Repeated Core Formation —Sun and Wu's Latest Research Rewrites the Traditional Understanding of the Golden Core.

A groundbreaking paper published in the * Journal of Cultivation * states: The threshold for Golden Elixir Formation can be intervened, and there is a controllable path to improve the quality of the Golden Core Elixir.

Researchers propose a new paradigm: breaking the established theory of "the Golden Core cannot be changed once formed" in cultivation practices.

These are legitimate news headlines; Hu Mang even saw official reports from Heavenly Gate in them.

What is Repeated Core Formation? A Review of the Core Conclusions and Unresolved Questions in the New Paper

Decoding Popular Research Papers: Is Lowering the Difficulty of Core Formation a Blessing or a Deviation from Cultivation?

This is for educational purposes, and at least the art style is relatively normal.

However, most of them are just clickbait headlines.

Shocking! From now on, every Foundation Establishment cultivator can reach the Golden Core!

Overturning age-old common sense about cultivation! A research paper exposes the truth about Core Formation!

No extraordinary talent needed! New technology helps you reshape your Golden Core, resulting in a direct leap in quality!

The old era is over; the Repeated Core Formation cultivators has completely rewritten the landscape for those below the Nascent Soul stage.

Horrifying! Millions of cultivators are sharing this wildly; the secret of Core Formation has finally been revealed!

"I was terrified after reading this: Your Golden Core might have been even stronger."

Following the era of universal Foundation Establishment, the era of universal Golden Core cultivation has arrived!

After reading it, Hu Mang immediately understood Sun Jidao's feelings of worry rather than joy.

With so many sensationalist headlines, he'd be shocked to death if he were in his shoes.

Not to mention that Sun and Wu also possess a large number of related scientific research patents on the Golden Core Elixir.

This guy is even more like Tang Seng than Tang Seng Sanzang himself.

They're overseas; if they were in China, they'd basically be unable to leave the country.

"... Reporters are one thing, I'm overseas, they can't find me for a while, but the problem is it's not just reporters, it's fellow students, elders, people discussing cooperation, people working on projects, various associations..."

Sun Jidao counted on his fingers one by one, but even after using all ten fingers, he still hadn't finished counting.

"Isn't this what you wanted? You went overseas to do something big, and then achieve fame and success in the field of scientific research and cultivation. Although the research directions are different, haven't you achieved your goal?" Hu Mang complained.

"I wanted to achieve great success, but I never expected it to be this level of success."

Sun Jidao smiled wryly. A while ago, he saw a clickbait headline that described him as the pioneer of the "Golden Core Elixir Cultivation Era," which shocked him so much that he couldn't sleep all night, and his inner Demon Metropolis surface.

"Fortunately, this isn't a top-tier academic paper," Sun Jidao added, also offering his criticism.

This is a paper at the Golden Core level. If it were a Nascent Soul or Spirit Transformation level paper, the big shots from the Heavenly Gate might actually come and kidnap someone.

"I only knew about cutting kidneys outside, I didn't know they did it inside Heavenly Gate too." Sun Jidao said with a helpless expression.

"My master called me a few days ago, asking why I didn't inform him beforehand about such a big event. He said that many people had called him to share good news, and he didn't know where the good news was coming from."

Sun Jidao found joy amidst hardship.

"He's an officially registered Nascent Soul from Heavenly Gate, so he can't easily leave the country. Otherwise, the old man would probably have come straight here. I can't sleep, and the old man won't be able to sleep either. He won't even have anywhere to beat me up."

Hu Mang remembered who the other person was talking about. Was it Qin Mo Nascent Soul expert, the big shot in the field of Heavenly Gate Golden Core Medicine?

No wonder the old man was anxious; he would have been anxious too.

However, the information that the other party inadvertently revealed made him raise an eyebrow.

"You mean, anyone with an officially registered Nascent Soul is prohibited from leaving the country?"

"That's true. Associations within the system, various official organizations, and other miscellaneous entities all require review, and I've heard the review process is very strict."

Sun Jidao said casually.
