Chapter 1071: Chapter 97: Li Minghu’s Experint 2
As the only non-Golden Core Stage Transcendent involved in slaying the flesh-serpent, Li Minghu has now stopped all other work, focusing exclusively on collaborating with the laboratory to research the serpent’s heart.
If the increase in combat power from Foundation Establishnt Realm to Golden Core Realm for a cultivator is the transformation of True Yuan from a strength of 1 to a strength of 10, then the serpent-like monster undoubtedly takes another path: by devouring massive amounts of mortal flesh, it forcibly compresses 10,000 True Yuan with a strength of 0.01 into True Yuan with a strength of 100, thus acquiring combat power that can rival or even surpass that of the Golden Core tribulation.
This point is confird through detailed studies of the Spiritual Energy’s minute structure. The True Yuan strength of the flesh-serpent itself is far inferior even to the most poorly-talented civilian cultivator; it relies on massive piling up and compression to form a false “qualitative change.”
Of course, this thod of piling up and compression is also extrely valuable. For instance, if one could find a way to destroy this compressed piling, it would effectively aid in attacking the serpent-like monster.
Moreover, if mastery over this fine level of Spiritual Energy manipulation could be achieved, is it possible to realize the transformation of the body itself, or even the cultivation talent?
The latter is a topic that cannot be ntioned. If a mortal could gain power comparable to a cultivator by devouring a large number of others’ lives… this is a chanism forbidden from exploration and is the boundary and red zone of this research project.
At least, publicly, that’s the case.
But now there’s another situation, which is Li Minghu’s physical condition.
In terms of psychological qualities, tactical awareness, swordsmanship talent, and loyalty to the Lu Country, Li Minghu is actually comparable to Liu Longtao. Her physical condition is the only shackle limiting her, so solving her ailnt is also sothing that publicly appears faultless.
Therefore, after the flesh heart was brought in, nearly an overwhelming amount of scientific research resources was poured into the project, and even i Yingxue was dragged over from the Wudang Mountain base, dedicatedly tackling this “helping Li Minghu cure her ailnt” task.
The renaissance of Spiritual Energy has only been a few years, no matter how naturally gifted a scientific genius is, their foundational thinking is built upon the basic logic of modern science. i Yingxue is different; in the Cultivation World, she received complete cultivation sect training, and the underpinning of her worldview is akin to Taoist philosophy.
The difference is like that of Western dicine and traditional Chinese dicine. Although the masterful Mr. i learned so western dical skills and could speak fluently on the topic, if the battlefield were to shift to Chinese dicine, there would be no match for her.
“We have already refined the elixirs.” i Yingxue placed the Elixir Bottle on the table, “The problem now is, we need a test subject.”
“Is it ?” Li Minghu asked calmly.
“From a scientific perspective, adequate experints should be conducted on other materials first, ensuring reliable conclusions before performing the final treatnt on you.” i Yingxue explained, “But when it cos to the fundantal structure of Spiritual Energy, there actually are no so-called ‘reliable conclusions.'”
“I have indeed heard from Ye Jun.” Li Minghu mused, “The essence of Spiritual Energy is chaos.”
“Not entirely.” i Yingxue replied, “The Spiritual Energy before Pangu opened the heavens and earth can be considered complete chaos. When the heavens and earth first divided, with clear energy rising and turbid energy sinking, it was actually an order established on a micro-level chaotic foundation.”
“Order built upon chaos? Isn’t that contradictory?” Li Minghu was a bit puzzled. She had exceptional comprehension, but she wasn’t superhuman; she couldn’t instantly fathom things she completely didn’t understand.
“Contradictions can transform into each other,” i Yingxue responded.
She pushed the elixir over, saying:
“On this basis, the effects of elixirs can also transform. For example, it may be a miraculous redy transforming bodies on other subjects, but on you, it could beco a deadly poison.”
“So it’s an uncertain effect.” Li Minghu understood, “It’s a gamble.”
“I have already consulted the superiors on this matter.” i Yingxue continued, “Most of them hope you won’t take the risk, but ultimately it cos down to your decision.”
“Here’s the elixir for you. Decide for yourself.”
Li Minghu took the Elixir Bottle and gently twisted open the wooden stopper, seeing only one thumb-sized, smooth elixir inside, colored a deep red like dragon’s blood, with a strange fragrance that upon long exposure induced dizziness.
She paused for a mont in contemplation, then without hesitation, raised the Elixir Bottle, tilted her head back and swallowed it directly.
“Quite decisive.” i Yingxue was rather surprised, “Before taking it, don’t you want to say goodbye to family and friends, in case of accidents?”
“No need.” Li Minghu smiled gently, “If I pass away, I wish for an unnoticed departure, so not too many would be saddened by not having the chance to say goodbye.”
i Yingxue frowned. She sensed a subtle aura of death around the girl, but everyone has their own fate, and as an outsider, she couldn’t say much more, so she said lightly:
“Lie down over there, we will monitor your condition and rescue you in ti if necessary… if rescue is possible.”
“Alright.” Li Minghu’s expression was calm as she lay down on the surgical bed, allowing the dical team to install various monitoring devices on her.
The refining of dicinal power would take so ti, and corresponding changes in the body were yet to occur. Li Minghu stared at the pure white ceiling, her gaze seemingly a bit unfocused.
