"How should we test it?" Yserine was sowhat puzzled, not knowing what Li Chengyi planned to do.
"It’s simple...." Li Chengyi stared at the figure that was still turning around slowly.
"Since we can touch it, let’s collect so materials first."
He slowly approached from behind.
He held a Golden Sword in one hand while casually picking up a cup for drinking water with the other.
"I’ll first try if it’s possible to draw blood."
"...." Yserine watched, speechless, as Li Chengyi thrust his sword towards the figure’s back.
Hiss.
The tip of the sword cut through the white dress, exposing the pale skin underneath. But the skin was unusually hard, as if it was impossible to cut.
The sword’s tip struck sparks against it but could not draw any blood.
"The skin can’t even be cut... What about the hair then?"
Li Chengyi began trying to cut the hair.
Amid the intense hissing sound of friction, at last, he managed to cut off a small tuft of hair and placed it into the cup.
"Next, let’s take a look at her physiological structure."
Li Chengyi examined the figure thoughtfully for a mont.
The Golden Sword in his hand dissipated, then reford, creating a blade as thin as a finger.
Then he grasped the thin blade.
"Wait a minute! Brother, you’re not going to...!?" Yserine’s horrified voice ca through.
"What? After all, it’s not human. We shouldn’t view it with a human mindset but as a thing, an object, to be regarded from an experintal perspective," Li Chengyi said seriously.
"Still... you can’t just do that! Isn’t that too lewd!?" Yserine found it unacceptable.
"It’s just a test. No big deal. Don’t worry," Li Chengyi said as he looked at the Golden Sword, thinking it might be too thick, and switched to a thinner one.
"Brother..."
Hiss.
The Golden Sword pierced in.
It went into one ear of the shadowy woman and eerily ca out of the other.
"The ear canal is actually straight through?" Li Chengyi had intended to draw so blood from the ear, but the ear canal of this figure was rely for show.
Yserine breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn’t what she had imagined....
During the persistence of the figure, Li Chengyi conducted a variety of tests repeatedly.
Having entered via Flash Appearance, after thirty-two minutes, he finally left the Blind Spot, and the woman disappeared.
He then returned to the isolated glass room.
"Da Xiong, here are the samples I’ve just collected from the Blind Spot Individual. See if you can analyze them," he said as he stepped out of the glass room and quickly handed the items to Da Xiong.
"Is this really... from the Blind Spot Individual?" Da Xiong said, shocked.
From the outside, they could only see that Li Chengyi and the old man disappeared for a while, then he reappeared alone, with a cup in his hand.
The old man, however, was nowhere to be found.
"It’s real, be careful. You can feel the weight."
Li Chengyi handed the cup to Da Xiong.
She took it, weighing the seemingly empty cup, and did indeed feel so weight to it.
Her expression imdiately turned somber.
Rainbow Candy, Dragon Gate Crane, and others approached out of curiosity, wanting to research it.
They were all blocked by her.
"I’ll issue a test report later," Da Xiong said seriously.
"Okay!" Li Chengyi nodded. "And my bone cultivation, rember to expedite it."
He needed to test it first to see if the thod was effective and to evaluate the level of risk.
The only two Blind Spot Individuals ensnared by the figure were now isolated, so there was no imdiate worry about spreading. And one had just died.
So he also had ti to make comprehensive preparations.
At this point, Da Xiong looked a bit strange.
"What’s wrong?" Li Chengyi glanced at her, puzzled.
"Boss, your bone marrow cells..." She didn’t know how to describe it. The situation relayed from the cultivation chamber just now left her completely at a loss for words.
Li Chengyi’s bone marrow cells were very powerful.
And very strange.
After the growth cycle was accelerated, these cells absorbed nutrients at a rate many tis greater than their counterparts. Their growth rate was also much faster than that of normal bone cells!
Most crucially, after a certain degree of phagocytosis and division, the cells automatically disappeared.
The staff in the cultivation chamber had observed this several tis, and each ti the result was the sa.
Initially, they thought it was a mistake, but after confirming this situation, they transmitted the full video log of the experint to Da Xiong.
"That’s unusual," Li Chengyi said, mildly surprised.
He suddenly thought of the Shadow Mode ability.
If he wasn’t mistaken about the Shadow Dragon Bloodline, it possessed the ability to enter Shadow Mode.
That is to say, if the bone cells entered Shadow Mode, it would indeed be unnoticeable to ordinary people.
"I’ll go take a look with you later."
"Okay!" Da Xiong nodded earnestly.
Until now, like the others, she was growing increasingly aware of Li Chengyi’s mysterious aspects.
And now, this was just another proof of his mysteriousness.
"Since mine doesn’t work, let’s have the others cultivate osteocytes first," Li Chengyi said.
"Understood. The sa number as usual?"
"Yes."
After finishing, Li Chengyi turned to the others.
"As for those facing their Blind Spot, wait until I’ve confird the thod I found is effective before trying. The material I’ve just obtained also needs testing. Now, let’s discuss the Crescent Moon."
"The Crescent Moon can withstand a fatal impact once. That’s been confird on ," Xiao Zhong quickly said.
"The last ti at Yunshan, when I obtained the Book of Wishes, I wished to lessen the Blind Spot difficulty for our whole team. The Blue Book provided the answer of the Crescent Moon, and it seems now that the Crescent Moon indeed serves to lighten the Blind Spot difficulty," Li Chengyi said.
"Two lives, two Crescent Moons. Worthy of being our leader!" Xiao Zhong said with emotion.
"This way, when we encounter our Blind Spots, we’ll have more chances to maneuver," Da Xiong said.
At this mont, everyone felt extrely fortunate to be part of this team. Acquiring sothing that could revive them, it had already transcended the boundaries of a common Blind Spot.
"But it’s still not enough... The difficulty of the Blind Spots is clearly increasing, and we must find more thods to improve ourselves and prepare better for the Blind Spots," Li Chengyi said.
"Two years... the theoretically longest ti for a Blind Spot Individual. In fact, from what I saw with Qiong An, whom you rescued, I believe I’ve found a thod," Xindela said solemnly.
"You an..." Li Chengyi caught on quickly.
"Yes... to use a simpler Blind Spot to shield against a more difficult one... If we keep hiding in the simple Blind Spots, can we avoid the increasingly difficult Blind Spots? Just like Qiong An, who could live in Dark City for many years," Xindela said.
"...Indeed, there is that possibility," Li Chengyi said as sothing dawned on him and he looked at Xindela.
Both had nearly at the sa ti thought of Lien.
Had Lien not perished, could it be that he was also seeking to evade a highly difficult Blind Spot by finding a safer Blind Spot as a shield?
Nobody knew...
"I’ll keep that in mind," Li Chengyi nodded to his boss to show he understood.
Then, he looked at the others.
"As the Blind Spots beco more challenging ahead, I hope that everyone can do their utmost to improve themselves during this period."
"Are you referring to... the Genetic Enhancent Needle?" Rainbow Candy asked.
"Yes. And also to choose the Flower Language Technique that corresponds to your Biological Armor. Tang Tang, please explain this to everyone. We don’t have much ti," Li Chengyi said.
"Understood, I will!" Rainbow Candy said gravely.
"Anyhow, I promised everyone that I would find a way to completely break free from the Blind Spots. And the difficulty of this path... far exceeds ordinary people’s imagination," Li Chengyi looked around at everyone.
"Therefore, I want everyone to push themselves to improve, to survive until the end."
"I have hired the top combat experts to prepare for special training. Those who want to co can co to ," Rainbow Candy said.
Ever since her experience with Sutan, she had truly realized what it was like to feel powerless and weak. Upon returning ho, the first thing she did was seek out the most powerful firearms and combat instructors regardless of the cost to strengthen herself.
"Count in," Dragon Gate Crane quickly raised his hand. Having faced life and death, he now truly understood the value of strength.
"I’ll join too..." Da Xiong gently held Rainbow Candy’s hand, giving her a comforting look.
"I’ll pass... Oh, and Boss," Xiao Zhong suddenly turned to Li Chengyi. "Can I choose from the exotic flowers in your garden?"
Li Chengyi was taken aback.
"Of course."
Those exotic flowers were the financial source of the garden, but they were also Blind Spot flowers nurtured with the blood of the Shadow of Resentnt.
He caught Xiao Zhong’s drift. It seed he planned to choose an exotic flower as his primary plant.
"Theoretically, it’s not that the Flower Language of an exotic flower is necessarily strong; the key is that it suits you," he said solemnly.
"I understand!" Xiao Zhong nodded.
Li Chengyi surveyed the people present. According to feedback from the Purple Magnolia, everyone in the team had reached the level to choose their primary plant.
But so far, only Rainbow Candy had chosen her primary plant; the rest had not yet started.
"From now on, whether it’s equipnt or dicine, no matter what ans you use, go for it!"
The others didn’t respond but their eyes slowly gained resolve.

Chaoyu.
A vast pool misted with vapor.
Lotuses the size of small boats floated with the wind.
Clear water, pink flowers, willow catkins drifting about the lake, creating an exquisitely beautiful scene.
Underneath a weeping willow, a semi-transparent force field umbrella shielded from the cascade of fluff.
Beneath the umbrella sat two young n in gray robes and feathered crowns.
The one on the left, with narrow eyes and thin lips, presented an impression of cold severity.
It was none other than Zhu Rui, who had t with Li Chengyi before.
The young man opposite him bore a completely different deanor.
Square-faced and large-eared, with peaceful eyes and a prominent nose, he seed good-natured and amiable even when silent.
"Today, Brother Liu, how co you have ti to seek out for a ga of chess?" Zhu Rui picked up a black and white piece with one hand and gently placed it on the board between them.
"Nothing special, big sister led the troops out, so I ca to pass ti with Brother Zi Jun," the square-faced man smiled.
Zi Jun was Zhu Rui’s courtesy na, and in Yi Country, only nobles had the privilege of having a courtesy na besides their given na.
"Has Brother Liu’s Wenxin Pill been perfected? If mass-produced, do not forget your younger brother," Zhu Rui said, glancing at the other.
He felt that the other’s visit today seed to have an ulterior motive.
The upper echelons in Yi Country, in pursuit of spiritual immortality, whether nobles or the Imperial Family, most were engrossed in the art of alchemy and such.
