Chapter 317 Shocking
There is a brief silence.
"What?"
"This special substance or energy can actually make people immortal?"
"And as long as Master Fang is willing to teach the method of absorbing this substance or energy, everyone can do it?"
"Although I find it hard to believe and even dare not believe it is true, but... but these words were said by Master Fang, so it is basically impossible to be false!"
Many people who didn't know much about biology were also shocked.
At this point, everyone felt that the trip to listen to the sermon was worth it.
Because no matter what Fang Yi explains next, as of now, everyone will know about this sermon, and it will definitely cause a sensation around the world!
Professor Song always thought that Fang Yi was discussing with everyone the issue of how telomeres can make people immortal.
However, he never imagined that Fang Yi's so-called method of preventing telomeres from shortening during cell division did not start directly from the telomeres, but from stem cells with working telomerase.
And telomerase isn't actually important.
The important thing is, the 'Qi of Life' can directly assimilate and replicate stem cells to make people immortal!
At this moment, Professor Song was moved, raised his hand again and asked: "Master Fang, according to you, as long as humans continue to absorb the 'vital energy', then there is hope for eternal life?"
Fang Yi shook his hand. "Professor Song, you are wrong about this. I have made it clear enough just now that longevity and eternal life are two different things."
Professor Song looked puzzled and said, "The human body is constantly replenished with stem cells, which can maintain sufficient vitality. Doesn't that mean that we can live forever?"
When the others heard the word "eternal life", their hearts were also beating fast and they looked at Fang Yi with concern.
Fang Yi explained carefully: "We have just said that the key to lifespan is not just whether the cells are aging or not. It is only one of the most critical factors. There are also other factors such as oxidative stress, genes, and environment. In fact, no matter how you replenish stem cells, the human body is still in a process of continuous aging. It is just because of the supplementation of stem cells that the aging process will be slowed down. I have carefully judged that the limit of normal human lifespan is 10,800 years. Once this period is exceeded, the body will decay. Well, this part is actually not the point. You can talk about it or not. Do you want to listen? If I talk about it, I may also prove to you the role of 'Life Qi' and let you see how 'Life Qi' can greatly extend human lifespan."
"think!"
"Of course I will!"
“It’s a must!”
Professor Song also nodded.
Although we don’t understand why the human life span limit is 10,800 years, and there is no scientific method to prove whether the "vitamin of life" can really continuously assimilate and replicate stem cells, everyone still wants to listen.
Especially since Fang Yi just explained that during the verification, everyone will be able to see the specific effect of the "Life Qi", which makes everyone more interested.
Fang Yi nodded, "Then let me briefly talk about it. I have expressed a problem very clearly just now, that is, 'Life Qi' is the assimilation and replication of stem cells, not something that appears out of thin air. In fact, during the formal operation process, the body's own stem cells will still be consumed continuously. It is only with the supplement of 'Life Qi' that the amount of stem cells in the body will become very small. Once the stem cells are consumed, 'Life Qi' cannot be assimilated and replicated, and the person dies naturally. Moreover, because stem cells will only work actively when there is a problem with the body, if we do not use our immortal school's great method to actively mobilize stem cells, it is useless to just absorb 'Life Qi' to assimilate and replicate stem cells. At most, it can only extend the life of humans, which is acceptable, but in fact it cannot be compared with immortality."
He saw Professor Lin nodding slightly, so he said, "As a top biologist, Professor Lin probably knows something about this, right?"
Professor Lin, who was called, quickly stood up and answered respectfully, "Yes, Master Fang, the number of stem cells in the human body varies from person to person, and generally ranges from 300 million to 6 billion. Studies have shown that a 20-year-old generally has 6 billion stem cells in his body, but by the age of 40, this number will drop sharply to only about 300 million. Current technology can only induce stem cells from one's own healthy cells, and cannot create them out of thin air, so once the human body's stem cells are used up, they cannot regenerate."
Fang Yi smiled and said, "That's right. So if we absorb the 'vital energy' and assimilate and replicate stem cells according to the method of our sect, people will stay young for a long time. For example, the normal human life span is about 70 to 80 years old, but the prime of life is only between 20 and 40 years old. However, after using this method to absorb the 'vital energy', human life span can easily reach hundreds, thousands, or even the limit of 10,800 years, and most of that time is in the prime of life. In other words, if a person lives for a thousand years, he may be in the prime of life for more than 900 years. However, when his own stem cells are almost consumed, he will age rapidly in just a few decades until he dies. This depends entirely on the speed at which the body's own stem cells are consumed. No matter how much we delay the consumption, we cannot truly achieve no consumption, so people will still die."
After a pause, Fang Yi said, "I believe some people may not believe this, or find it difficult to understand. Then we can find a few volunteers from the crowd, and I will demonstrate how to extend a person's life on the spot. However, there is one thing I must explain in advance. If you accept the demonstration, all the structures of your body will be presented to everyone. Therefore, it is better for those who are more ashamed not to go on stage as volunteers."
sweat!
I have to demonstrate it on the spot!
Many people below had flickering eyes.
Compared with extending lifespan, what’s the point of showing your body structure to everyone?
"I!"
"Master Fang, choose me!"
"I have no shame at all."
A lot of people raised their hands over there.
Fang Yi looked through the crowd and picked out some people of different ages, including an acquaintance.
Soon, Boss Wei, who was in his forties or fifties, a man in his twenties, an elderly man in his sixties or seventies, and a boy of sixteen or seventeen were brought to the altar by Fang Yi using Falun Dafa.
As for why no girls were chosen, it was simply because no women raised their hands.
Maybe they are more ashamed to show their body structure, after all.
In fact, at this point, everyone still couldn't believe that "Life Qi" could significantly prolong life, so they wanted to see the results of Fang Yi's "experiment".
Seeing Boss Wei and others coming on stage, everyone stared at them without blinking.
Fang Yi immediately transmitted his spiritual consciousness and entered the souls of everyone present, allowing these people to "empathize" with him and see the changes in the internal conditions of these volunteers.
A top student from a prestigious university studying biology was whispering to his classmates, "Is this true?"
His female classmate was also a little bit unconvinced, "I don't know, let's just watch it first."
Many people had the same reaction as them.
Everyone wanted to believe Fang Yi, but this kind of thing was too hard to believe.
At least until scientific researchers verify the effect of "Life Qi", it will be difficult for everyone to believe it.
Fang Yi naturally noticed it.
He did not take the initiative to explain like he did just now.
He first presented the body structure of the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy to everyone.
Everyone saw with their own eyes that the cells in the boy's body were constantly aging and then new cells were produced.
Normally, a cell can divide about fifty times before it dies.
Only then will stem cells passively generate new cells.
Stem cells are responsible for repairing and maintaining tissues and can quickly develop new cells to replace dead cells.
Everyone can see this clearly.
Even if someone doesn't understand, there are so many biological professionals on site who will take the initiative to explain so that everyone can understand.
Because the number of stem cells is fixed, after the stem cells are consumed to produce new cells, everyone can use Fang Yi's spiritual sense to clearly understand that some are missing.
At this time, Fang Yi said: "I will now introduce the 'vitality' into his body, and you will observe the consumption of stem cells."
After saying this, he used his great magical power to push the "life energy" into the young man's body.
Everyone was watching attentively.
The next moment, a magical scene was born!
When the cells in the boy's body died, the "vitamin of life" that enveloped the stem cells actually assimilated and replicated the stem cells when the stem cells wanted to work.
And along with that one native stem cell enters working state!
This is equivalent to a stem cell using the "vital energy".
It exerts the effect of several times the number of stem cells!
“Fuck!”
“It’s true!”
"Oh my god, immortality is not just a dream!"
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar.
Afterwards, Fang Yi conducted experiments on Boss Wei, the elderly man and others.
Everyone was in even greater uproar, shouting and screaming in surprise.
But someone immediately thought of a new question.
This time it’s Professor Lin.
He raised his hands high.
Fang Yi called the name.
Professor Lin quickly stood up and asked, "Master Fang, didn't you just say that using 'Life Qi' would allow people to live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years? Why is it only several times longer now? Judging from the amount of stem cell consumption I just saw, it can only extend lifespan several times at most, that is, extend lifespan from 70 or 80 years old to 400 or 500 years old. This is quite different from what you said at the beginning."
"yes."
“Only four or five times.”
"Although this is already remarkable, it is still far from a lifespan of thousands or tens of thousands of years."
Everyone was confused.
Fang Yi smiled slightly and said calmly: "Didn't I just say that? This is the passive effect of the 'Life Qi'. It can only play an active role if we use the great method of our immortal sect to mobilize it. Let me demonstrate it to you."
After saying that, he pulled Boss Wei over again.
Then, we actively stimulate the vital energy to start assimilation and replication when the stem cells are not yet functional, until the area where the stem cells are stored is filled with new "stem cells".
Only then did people clearly see that the newly generated stem cells were actually a little different from the original stem cells.
But this difference is only limited to the fact that the "Life Qi" cannot use pseudo stem cells to replicate new stem cells.
In other aspects, their functions are almost identical to those of normal stem cells.
Then, everyone saw that when the cells in the boy's body aged and died, Fang Yi mobilized these "life qi" to actively assimilate and replicate dozens of times the pseudo stem cells, carrying the stem cells that had just been replicated to work.
This way, one stem cell has the effect of dozens of cells!
Everyone was completely stunned!
One stem cell equals dozens?
Doesn’t that mean it’s equivalent to extending human lifespan dozens of times?
Normally a human being can live for seventy or eighty years, and dozens of times that would be several thousand years!
Stunned!
Everyone was shocked by this scene!
At this moment, they finally understood how powerful the effect of "Life Qi" was!
Unfortunately, the shocked crowd did not notice Fang Yi smiling and shaking his head over there.
Simply using "vitamin energy" to assimilate and replicate stem cells is not enough to make humans immortal. At best, they can only live an extra 100 to 200 years.
If you really want to live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, you need to use other means.
But these methods are secret, and Fang Yi will not really show them to everyone.
In other words, there is no point in showing it.
Because it is impossible for anyone to learn it, after all, it requires the use of Dan Qi.
And now on Earth...
In other words, there is only one way for the creatures in this universe to utilize Dan Qi, and that is to use the "Summoning God Technique" to borrow power from Fang Yi.
Yes, people don’t know.
Despite this, everyone at the scene, whether it was Buddhist and Taoist figures such as Zhang Tianshi, Taoist Master Li and Zen Master Jiecheng, or bigwigs such as Lu Tingsong and Huang Yunshan, or scientific researchers such as Professor Meng and Professor Lin, as well as other people at the scene, were all immersed in shock.
They never imagined that Master Fang could actually make humans immortal.
And the only condition is to be able to learn the Fangxian School's magic!
