"The ghosts gained a temporary increase in spirit wisdom after being connected to the 'Ghost King,' and they also experienced an improvent when connected to 'Jiyin,' though not as significant as with the 'Ghost King.'" The Empirical Departnt's first team tried multiple connections with the 'Ghost King' after the first experint, while the second team split off a few to connect with 'Jiyin'... Prolonged contact with an external magic foundation mory body has a promoting effect on the spirit awakening of these little ghosts, with the spirit awakening speed of the first and second teams of the Empirical Departnt being higher than the control group... No differences in personality were observed among the ghosts using the 'Ghost King' and 'Jiyin' external magic foundations, aning the external magic foundation has no impact or a very weak impact on personality, which is not statistically significant... In summary, we can at least prove the following points. First, a certain computational ability is the basis for self-awareness; second, mana can promote spirit awakening, but the principle is estimated to be the stimulation of the growth of the soul; third, the influence of the Modern Cultivation thod on personality formation is not significant..."
Inside the study of the Empirical Departnt, Wang Qi was reporting his experintal results to Chen Feng. Chen Feng nodded. These results could also be part of his research and could even corroborate so of his theories.
"Good work." Once Wang Qi finished reading, Chen Feng affird, "Worthy of soone who earned the Seeking Dao Jade through logic. Your first foray into this domain of research is respectable."
Wang Qi was about to modestly deflect the complint when Chen Feng's next question arrived, "What do you want to do for your next step of research?"
Wang Qi shook his head with a wry smile, "There's nothing to be done."
"Why?"
"According to my initial plan, the next step would be to use an external magic foundation imitating the Ancient thod to see if it would influence personality." Wang Qi reached into his pocket and then pulled out a cyan-colored Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle, "The mory body 'Gale,' a law gate from the Ancient thod Piaoyun Sect."
"Piaoyun?" Chen Feng was perplexed, "I recall that the descendants of this sect..."
"The Piaoyun Sect was once a vassal to the Luofu Xuanqing Palace. This old man rembers all their cultivation thods," Zhen Chan explained.
The cultivation thods of the Luofu Xuanqing Palace were known as "all-encompassing," and as a master in this field, Zhen Chan naturally rembered all the distinctive ntal thods from ten thousand years ago. For Wang Qi, he was like a Guinness World Records book, holding an all-encompassing array of knowledge, much of it fairly useless.
Modern cultivation is like a formula where everyone can substitute their own "paraters" into this "equation" to obtain the most suitable "result" for themselves. The Ancient thod Practitioners, due to limited expressive abilities, could only use a "wordless" approach to coalesce the founder's enlightennt and thoughts into sothing called "inheritance." Such inheritances often influence a Cultivator's personality. Those who practice Water Cultivation beco gentler or subtly reserved, while those who practice Fire Cultivation beco increasingly violent and aggressive. Those who follow Ghost Cultivation or Cultivation Killing inevitably beco more brutal and bloodthirsty, and the Demon Path naturally leads to increasing coldness and greed.
Chen Feng understood what Wang Qi was getting at. Wang Qi indeed had this idea, but now he found himself utterly unable to proceed.
"In that case... wild Demons should be no problem. Actually, I need you to complete a task, and you can just carry out this empirical study at the sa ti," said Chen Feng. He took a file bag from beneath his desk, pulled out a sheet of paper, and began drawing several circles with a pen. After he finished, he handed the file bag to Wang Qi, "These circled Demon Beasts, you can use all of them for your empirical evidence."
Monitoring the Demon Clan in the wild and observing their personality formation was also part of the Empirical Departnt's work. This task was initially being aided by Beifeng. However, it was unclear whether the exploration work in the ancient ruins of Divine Capital was too busy or Beifeng had returned to Spirit Beast Mountain, but later Wang Qi took over this task.
"Thank you." Wang Qi took the file bag and said, "Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll head to Spirit Awakening Village to check on the progress. Also, please ask my junior sister to make another 'Ghost King.' In an unexpected situation, the user's Spirit Sense may flow into the mory body, and the Ghost King I currently have is no longer pure. I'll need to find a way to set it to 'read-only'—I'll be off, then!"
Chen Feng said helplessly, "Don't you think you've been spending a little too much ti there recently? Rember! You're leaving within three days. Also, if you plan to reach Foundation Establishnt before August, clear out half a month in July for secluded cultivation!"
"Yes, yes."
Three days later, at noon, the scorching sumr sun made everything dry and thirsty. A Demonized Wild Bull in the Qi Storage Stage wandered listlessly through a sparse forest, occasionally munching on the thick ground lichen—which made quite a nice snack for it.
Suddenly, a dark figure pounced from a tree next to it. The Demon Bull was taken down before it could react. The beast was stunned for a mont then roared in rage, raising its head high, trying to break free. It opened its mouth to bellow, the veins on its neck bulging, turning to see who was attacking it. However, another terrifying strength pressed on its back, making it impossible to escape.
Great anger surged through the Demon Bull's soul. It wasn't any powerful Great Demon, but it had considerable confidence in its own strength—how could it allow anyone to overpower it?
"MOO!" With an earth-shattering bellow, the innate Divine Seal within its Demon Clan bloodline was activated, and the Demon Bull's strength rose to another level. Blood rushed into its muscles, causing its body to swell. Among the Qi Storage Demon Clan, such might was indeed top grade.
However, the force on its back was also growing stronger, like an iron hoop, firmly pinning it to the ground.
The Barbaric Bull's charge dug a deep pit at the bottom, but it still couldn't escape the confinent!
Muscle strength could never surpass mana on a sustainable basis. The Demon Bull soon grew tired. Its resistance weakened. At that mont, it felt sothing prick its waist. A wave of fatigue followed. The bull quickly found its limbs weak, unable to move.
Behind it, Wang Qi released his hands and then withdrew the anesthetic needle. He was surrounded by a white glow—a combination of Holy Light and the explosive state of the Life Burning Skill.
"Wow, the Immortal Hero Version of Holy Light I conjured actually fits the setting of Shankou Mountain quite well. A Holy Knight buffing themselves is pretty aweso." Wang Qi dispelled the Light of Life surrounding him, took out a device from his Storage Bag—a Jade Plate connected to several probes. He inserted the probes into a few acupoints on the Demon Bull. Several readings imdiately appeared on the Jade Plate.
As a layman, Wang Qi didn't understand the biological significance of these readings. All he could do was record them and send them back to Chen Feng. Then he put away the device and took out the "Gale" mory Body, stabbing it forcefully into the Demon Bull's back.
The Driver was only created for safety. Given a Demon Clan's physical resilience, it wasn't really necessary.
"Piaoyun Sect's cultivation thod leads its practitioners towards calmness and elegance, quite the opposite of the Demon Bull's natural disposition," Wang Qi said as he used the Dream Building Technique to delve into the Demon Bull's mind, "Let's see what you look like now!"
After a while, Wang Qi retrieved the mory Body and left the wrecked Demon Bull where it was. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit qidian to vote for it with your recomndation tickets and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.)
