Chapter 972: Self-cultivation and Merit Accumulation
Chen Chuan knew that the medicinal effect of "Su Su" had begun to take effect, and at the same time, he felt that his own alienated tissues began to show a slight growth trend.
At the same time, strands of light gradually formed within the spirit's illusory body, which looked almost identical to the alienated tissue that was undergoing growth.
This is actually because the spiritual appearance is a reflection of himself, so the more obvious changes in his body at this moment are also reflected in it.
But this is very normal. With every transformation of the body, the spiritual appearance will change accordingly, and he does not need to deliberately suppress anything.
The spiritual image will gradually become stronger after each of his battles and each of his training, until he finally "crosses the sky bridge", and then reaches the realm of longevity.
Taking certain drugs to stimulate the growth of alienated tissue will undoubtedly accelerate this process.
The current "Susu" plays this role. This thing is worthy of being used to make elixirs. Even he can feel the strong medicinal power in it.
Over the next five or six days, his alienated tissues barely stopped growing. It wasn't until mid-October that the growth rate began to slow. Even then, the drug hadn't been fully absorbed by him and was still slowly taking effect.
At the same time, he also discovered that his own alienated tissue did not show any signs of excessive growth during this process. Through self-examination, he was able to discover that this was not actually the effect of the stone lotus seeds, but that his own alienated tissue was sufficient to accommodate this power.
He thought about it and thought that this might be a foundation that he had never used before to break through this limit. Therefore, the medicinal properties that could be considered overbearing to others were only slightly strong to him, and were far from enough to cause any harm to him. For him, it was actually considered a real good medicine.
This way, the stone lotus seeds seemed to have no effect, which was a bit of a waste. But it didn't matter, because he brought back more than one powerful alienated tissue this time. Since his body could withstand it, he might as well take one more.
This time, he chose an alien organization called 'Dan Gu'.
In the sky above the fusion land, there is a kind of almost gaseous organism that often floats there. It lives in groups and is called "Sky Carp". A kind of Danzhu will be born in its body.
Ordinary Danzhu has value but not high. However, once this thing is struck by lightning, there is a probability that it will cause the life level of a certain celestial carp to undergo a transformation. If you find this carp on the day of the lightning strike and pick up the Danzhu, it will become this kind of "Dan Drum".
This ingredient appears as a crucial ingredient in many Xuanjiao rituals and elixir recipes, and is rarely absent. Dan Gu is a rare commodity, requiring considerable effort and manpower to find. However, taken alone, it is quite effective, dispelling toxins, permanently enhancing spiritual strength, and promoting the growth of alienated tissues.
There are side effects. Taking this substance alone has a certain chance of causing abnormal tissue deformation and can also easily lead to hallucinations. After reaching a certain level, hallucinations aren't necessarily illusory. Therefore, in the old days, the former required medication to mitigate the negative effects, while the latter required certain esoteric rituals to resolve.
For him, the former problem was solved by the residual medicinal effects of the stone lotus seeds, and the latter problem could no longer affect him after he mastered the Great Bright Light Style.
He took out the "Dan Gu" bag, which contained seven Dan beads the size of pigeon eggs. After taking them out, they were light green in color. When he placed them on his palm, he could actually sense a dull sound like distant thunder, and a slight numbing feeling. It really lived up to its name.
He picked up the thing and swallowed it one by one. After swallowing six pills, he could hear the rumbling sound of drums in his ears.
The alienated tissue that had been slowing down was pushed forward again. This time, the power deposited in the body by the lotus seeds began to be gradually released, soothing the manic effect within it.
This time, the medicinal power continued to radiate for four or five days, and a faint glow emerged from the spiritual image. One could see entangled fibers composed of strands of fluorescent light flashing inside. Some parts were no longer simply reflecting light, but expanded and contracted with his breathing, participating in the absorption of energy from the outside.
His spiritual form was originally about ten meters high, but after taking it twice, it has risen another three or four meters.
This is not just a change in appearance. The huge size means greater strength and can absorb more energy. It is a significant improvement in both cultivation and combat.
After Chen Chuan felt this, he couldn't help but think that if one had sufficient resources and conditions, one's cultivation process could indeed be greatly shortened. Emperor Ying was approximately fifty years old when he died. Logically, with such a vast amount of resources, his achievements at this age should far exceed his previous performance.
It's quite possible that he simply relied on these to improve himself, without putting much effort into cultivation. However, if advancement could be achieved simply by consuming resources, most people probably wouldn't bother with the diligent practice.
But the further you go, the more resources you need. I'm afraid that's why this person would look for a shortcut to "ascend to heaven", but it seems that he was used by the scheming person.
He shook his head and continued practicing.
Time passed as he devoted himself to practice, until early November, when he came to the Government Affairs Office to hold a decision-making meeting.
Jibei Province and Haidong Province officially concluded the Skyline Cooperation Plan at the end of last month. Now they have begun to build signal relay platforms on the planned islands and reefs in the ocean, and plant various local plants on them. It will take about one to two months to put them into use.
However, this only ensures the most basic field transmission. Once there are no problems with land information transportation, some unique ecological clouds will be released in the sky. These things are a kind of aggregated microorganisms that can greatly amplify the transmission of field signals.
There are no problems on both sides. The next step is to establish more field biomes on the seabed, which are also used to increase and connect the fields.
Once this step is completed, from the sky to the land, from the land to the seabed, biological populations will gradually survive in the space between the two central cities. In this way, they themselves will become the medium for information transmission, and then, under human intervention, they will communicate with each other and gradually form a complete and unique circular ecological chain.
This technology was already available during the MLS era, and Dashun had undergone extensive domestic research and testing to ensure its feasibility. This was the basis for the Skyline project. With sufficient resources invested and a quarter of adjustments to ensure complete information connectivity, a complete network could be established.
However, there is still a political task, which is to ensure and establish real-time communication of some news information between Jibei Road and Haidong Road, and it is required to be completed before the end of the year.
Now there are many people watching and expecting their failure, and some may even deliberately sabotage them, so a certain amount of armed forces needs to be invested in this matter to protect them.
Chen Chuan, Qi Weizhao and other team members held a day-long meeting for this purpose and developed a security strategy with the information support and suggestions of the mother.
And if necessary, he will personally come forward to ensure the smooth implementation of this plan.
After the meeting, he continued his daily practice. On November 10th, he left the city alone and came to the front of a checkpoint on the national highway leading to the central city of Yangzhi City.
After waiting here for less than half an hour, an off-road vehicle drove up from a distance. It slowly stopped when it got closer, the door opened, and Cheng Zitong stepped out. His round face, wearing sunglasses, was full of smiles. He said, "Hey, student, you can just wait in the central city. Why did you drive all the way here?"
Chen Chuan smiled, walked forward, and said, "Teacher, it's not far. Have you forgotten? When you sent your students to the central city, they got off here."
"Isn't it?"
Cheng Zitong looked around and said, "Wow, it's been three years, hasn't it? It feels like just yesterday. Only, Xiaochuan, your hair has grown a little taller, and your spirit is different. I'm really happy for you."
Chen Chuan looked at his figure, which was about the same as it was a year ago, and said with a smile, "Teacher, you haven't changed much either."
Cheng Zitong took off his sunglasses and said, "Hey, you've lost weight. I don't know why, but I've had a poor appetite over the past year. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Xiao Chuan, didn't you drive here?"
Chen Chuan smiled and shook his head.
Cheng Zitong waved his hand and said, "Let's go, get in the teacher's car."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Teacher, please sit in the back and I will drive."
Cheng Zitong said yes, opened the back door, got into the back seat, and said with emotion, "Xiaochuan, three years ago, I couldn't accompany you to Central City, but this time you can."
Chen Chuan sat in the driver's seat, took out the briefcase he was carrying, took out a stack of paper bags from it, turned around and handed it to Cheng Zitong.
"Teacher, this is a collection of unusual events I collected and compiled in Central City this year, as well as a strange story I experienced some time ago. The details are all in it."
"oh?"
Cheng Zitong's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it. He had recently been planning to write a book specifically on this subject, and had already compiled quite a bit. He briefly flipped through it, then looked up and asked, "Isn't it just about Jibei Dao?"
Chen Chuan said: "Yes, it includes some from Shannan Road and Longyou Road,
Cheng Zitong said, "I'm in Yangzhi City, and I often hear some news. Are you planning to build a skyline?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Yes, this way it can be connected to another central city."
"Good, very good." Cheng Zitong nodded repeatedly. He had lived in the central city since he was a child and later came to Yangzhi City. He was very familiar with the convenience of information connectivity.
After Chen Chuan started the car, he drove straight through the checkpoint. The guards on both sides saluted him. Then he asked, "Teacher, why don't you stay with me?"
Cheng Zitong said, "No, I won't bother you anymore. I have a place to stay in Central City. Let's go there first."
