There are too many legends about the immortals, but once you trace them back carefully, you will find that they are just ascension, not becoming immortals.
Especially in this era of brilliant scientific and technological civilization, many life research institutes and major chaebols in Xinxing have dug up old soil in pursuit of immortality. More than once, they have actually found the characters recorded in the "Biographies of Immortals". When the underground palace was first opened, they were shocked to see their lifelike forms, but after a while they would sigh, regretfully, because the legendary people turned to ashes in a very short time, directly proving that they did not ascend to heaven.
For example, Chixuzi, a real immortal mentioned in the "Biographies of Immortals", had his tomb found in the old days, with a pool of ashes. There was also Guan Lingyin, whose coffin was dug out and has been displayed in a museum as a cultural relic for many years.
Wang Xuan didn't care whether the legend of immortals was disproven or not. Today he learned about the lifespan limit of alchemists, and this news was important enough for him.
The woman lying in the bamboo boat, as the most powerful among the alchemists, can live to at least 700 years old, and the upper limit is 950 years old. Her life span is indeed not short.
This can be confirmed by some of the more famous alchemists in history, such as the renowned Peng Zu, who was said to have lived to be 800 years old, which is indeed within this range.
Wang Xuan was suddenly full of confidence. If he really set foot in that field one day, he would have enough time to think about the problems after the end of the old art.
But after calming down, he also thought about some of the problems.
For example, this woman clearly still has plenty of time left to live, so why is she in such a hurry to ascend to heaven?
Did something happen back then? Was it related to her personally or the general environment? He thought about a lot.
"She failed to ascend to heaven, and the reason she was able to leave her body behind and retain her vitality is closely related to this thick piece of golden bamboo."
Zhou Yu introduced that the research institute named this golden bamboo the Yuhua Divine Bamboo, which contains rich supernatural substances and vigorous life force.
Qian Lei asked: "Do you have any other scientific research plans or experiments in other directions?"
"There is indeed another plan, which we named the Immortal Seed."
“Tell me about it.” Qian Lei knew that the people at the Nova Research Institute must have some reservations about them, but there would be plenty of time in the future to slowly dig them out.
"Apart from the fact that her spiritual consciousness has dissipated, her body is very active, as if she has been dormant until now. Her physical age is very young, and she is at the right stage for marriage and childbearing."
After hearing this, even the two very steady experts from the military were shocked and dumbfounded, thinking that the researchers at Xinxing were too crazy!
Qian Lei was also in a daze, and subconsciously quickly held up his black-framed glasses, as if he was afraid that they would fall off. He couldn't help but ask: "You mean, after three thousand years, let the female Taoist priest give birth to a child?!"
"Yes, she is the one we have discovered who is truly close to immortality. She has broken the limit of human life. The genetic material she left to her descendants is definitely extraordinary and worth experimenting with."
Zhou Yu's face was full of enthusiasm, even more excited than when she said she wanted to dissect the female alchemist. She couldn't help but wave her arms vigorously.
As the head of a department of the expedition organization, Aoki is usually calm and composed, but now he is a little shocked. He suddenly feels that the well-mannered scientific researchers are more terrifying than him once they become "enthusiastic".
Wang Xuan: "..." He really felt a little bit stupid, this is possible? She couldn't rest in peace for three thousand years after death, and she had to get pregnant and have a child.
He made up his mind that if he didn't succeed in following the old ways, when the end came, he would definitely burn himself to death.
He now seriously doubted whether the other top alchemists had foreseen this day when they finally ascended to heaven and burned themselves.
Qian Lei said solemnly, "We cannot conduct this experiment at this stage."
As one of the project leaders, Zhou Yu had a lot of say, but she didn't have the intention to respond. She nodded and said, "We didn't plan to start it in the near future. Although the mother body is strong enough, we can't find a suitable father body. Let's wait ten years. If the right person appears on the road of new techniques, we can consider it. As for the old techniques, forget it. There will never be people like the pre-Qin alchemists. This path is becoming increasingly unworkable in this era. The effect is slow and it is not universal."
Wang Xuan sighed secretly, thinking that the female alchemist had finally temporarily avoided a disaster in her life, but he immediately shook his head, thinking that people were dead, and honor, disgrace, success or failure were meaningless to her.
Qian Lei talked for a long time with Zhou Yu and other new star leaders here. When he left, he asked to take a piece of Yuhua Divine Bamboo back for research.
Zhou Yu and the others seemed to have expected this and generously gave him the cut bamboo strips.
Qingmu was no longer calm and tried to organize his words to ask for a piece of golden bamboo on behalf of the expedition organization, but before he could open his mouth, the people from Xinxing took the initiative to talk about it.
"We can no longer cut branches of the Feathered Bamboo from the bamboo boat. We are worried that it will seriously affect the activity of the bamboo boat and may even endanger the stability of the female Taoist priest's body. If this happens, all experiments will go wrong and can no longer be carried out."
Aoki was speechless. The other party had blocked all the ways. If he continued to beg for it, he would be destroying the overall situation here and hindering the experiment.
Zhou Yu apologized, then presented a golden leaf, saying that this was the only way.
Qingmu felt very uncomfortable. He looked at the piece of bamboo in Qian Lei's hand, and then looked at the leaves in his own hand. There would be no shame without comparison.
"Forget it." This was the only way he could comfort himself.
Wang Xuan said, "Excuse me, can I dig a few stones out of this cave?"
