Chapter 327 Assimilation Disease
Professor Feng was in a state of confusion, as if suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He squatted on the ground with his arms outstretched, flapping them up and down like a bird.
Xia Chao and Qiu Shi frantically dialed the phone, trying to call an ambulance.
The ambulance was slow to arrive, so Jiang Li directly picked up Professor Feng and took him to the largest hospital nearby.
The medical staff had seen many cases similar to Professor Feng's, and they skillfully lifted him onto a stretcher and sent him to the emergency room.
"Why is the patient only in his fifties this time?"
"Who says it's not true? I've read online that the age of patients has been decreasing recently. It's not just us, it's the same across the country."
The two nurses followed the doctor into the emergency room, talking in low voices.
"Is this situation common in your world?" Jiang Li then discovered that there were many people in the hospital with symptoms similar to Professor Feng's.
The patients all talk nonsense, making it impossible to understand what they want to express.
At first he noticed this with his spiritual sense, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking that Alzheimer's disease in this world generally started early.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all.
Xia Chao nodded: "Well, we call this assimilation disease. It is a symptom that has existed since the birth of the Beast Tamer system."
"The contracted beasts are not very intelligent, their brains are chaotic, and we cannot understand the meaning of their language. After signing the contract, the contracted beasts will affect the beastmaster's brain all the time."
"When you first sign the contract, it has almost no impact, but as time goes by, the impact will gradually grow, just like there is another voice in your head, constantly speaking meaningless words."
"Eventually, the beastmaster's mind will be completely occupied by another voice, and he will eventually go crazy."
"The instructor has always emphasized that we should treat the contracted beasts kindly, regard them as friends, and try to understand the meaning of their language, because doing so can delay the onset of assimilation disease."
"Professor Feng's condition has reached the late stage of assimilation disease. If it happens a few more times, I'm afraid he will go crazy." Qiu Shi was worried, and the joy he had just felt after learning how to cultivate immortality was gone.
Professor Feng is a very good teacher. Although he is serious, he always tells some small stories when he lectures. The classroom atmosphere is active and he does not give many homeworks.
"Professor Feng has been reminiscing about the past recently. I thought he was thinking about his past glory, but I didn't expect that he just wanted to sort out his memories before he went crazy."
The two had already noticed something was wrong with Professor Feng, but no one took it seriously.
After all, Professor Feng is only in his fifties and is not yet at the age where he would suffer from assimilation disease.
"It seems that the onset of assimilation disease is probably being advanced." The two also heard the conversation between the nurses.
"I remember Professor Feng specifically talking about the age of onset of assimilation disease. Two thousand years ago, even if you lived to be 120 years old, you wouldn't get sick."
"Later, as the Beast Tamer system continued to improve, we gained the power to fight against the monsters, and the onset of the assimilation disease gradually came earlier, from 110 years old, 100 years old, 90 years old... and now to the age of over 50."
Everyone is destined to suffer from assimilationism, but some get it early and some get it late. Overall, the age of onset of assimilationism is getting earlier.
And Lingxi World has not found a good solution.
Jiang Li frowned. This was no small problem. He stopped blindly studying the effects of the master-servant contract.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll call an expert."
Xia Chao and Qiu Shi looked at each other. Experts? There were many assimilation disease experts in this hospital. Even assimilation disease experts from the capital came here to discuss and learn.
Where can Brother Jiang find experts?
Jiang Li disappeared from their sight, and Qiu Shi was shocked.
"Don't worry, it's just a routine operation." Xia Chao looked calm. He had been flown to space by Jiang Li and he had seen the world. Now, even if Jiang Li crushed a planet, he would not be surprised.
"What on earth did you summon?" Qiu Shi dared to guarantee that Brother Jiang was definitely not from their world.
"immortal."
…
"Old Bai, where is the elder in your Dao Sect who knows the art of contracts? I have something to discuss with him." Jiang Li originally wanted to study the master-servant contract leisurely on his own, but now that something like this has happened, he can't continue playing this game.
The Way of Contract is a very unpopular way of cultivation in Jiuzhou and is almost extinct. Only the Dao Sect still has it passed down.
Today, the way of contract has regained vitality in Jiuzhou, and Lingbao contracts can be seen everywhere in Jiuzhou.
The blueprint for the Lingbao Contract came from Dao Zong, an elder who was good at contracts.
"Are you looking for Elder Tang Xing? He's on that hill." Bai Hongtu pointed to a place and Jiang Li turned and left.
"Is Elder Tang Xing here?"
Hearing that it was the Human Emperor's voice, Elder Tang Xing hurried out to greet him.
With the promotion of the Lingbao Contract, Elder Tang Xing's status in Jiuzhou has risen rapidly, and his treatment has increased by several levels compared to before.

All this is thanks to the Lingbao dichotomy proposed by Jiang Li at the time, that is, using laws to constrain Lingbao in the Great Zhou, and using contracts to constrain Lingbao outside the Great Zhou.
Jiang Li found the Brahma Tower again and asked it to build a temporary space channel to teleport Elder Tang Xing over.
On the way, Jiang Li briefly explained the master-servant contract. Elder Tang Xing cautiously did not comment, saying that he would come to a conclusion only after seeing the actual object.
Professor Feng was still in the emergency room. Jiang Li and Elder Tang Xing hid their figures and entered the emergency room.
"It is the most troublesome soul contract."
"Let me see the effect of the contract. A contract can only be established if both parties are willing."
"In a master-servant contract, one party is the master and the other is the servant. The servant must help the master absorb spiritual energy from the air and give it back to the master."
"A servant's cultivation cannot surpass that of his master."
"A servant must obey all orders from his master."
"Well, if the servant cannot understand the master, the servant will be forced to understand the master's meaning."
"The master-servant contract is deeply rooted in the soul and is passed down through blood. The more people the servant's ancestors have signed contracts with, the stronger the servant's servility will be, and the sooner he will demand to understand the master's intentions by force."
"It seems that this is the problem. Monster beasts will only open their spiritual intelligence when they reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage. Before that, they only know simple monster beast language. It is too difficult for humans who have not practiced to understand monster beast language, which will lead to the assimilation and collapse of the spiritual platform."
"In order to resist the attacks of monster beasts, everyone in Lingxi World is a beastmaster, and their ancestors were also beastmasters. As time goes by, the compulsory nature of the master-servant contract will become stronger and stronger, and the age of onset of assimilation disease will also be advanced."
"In another thousand years, people in their twenties or thirties might get assimilation disease, and by then the entire human race will be finished."
Jiang Li roughly guessed what the slow-death poison that the extraterritorial demon had given to the Lingxi world was.
It is this master-servant contract.
"Can the master-servant contract be terminated?" Jiang Li knew that he could terminate the contract between himself and Xia Chao, but he was not sure if he could terminate the contract between others.
"The master-servant contract involves the soul, which should be difficult. However, after all, the Human Emperor is in the Mahayana stage. It is not difficult for the Human Emperor to cancel the master-servant contract. There is a 90% chance of success."
"However, if the Human Emperor wants to cancel the master-servant contracts of the entire world, there is probably a 10% chance of failure, and the only result of failure is death."
"That means 10% of people will die when the contract is terminated?"
"yes."
