The stolen magic is a bit magical

Lin Xiaosu asked, "What mission?"

“Chairman Ding of Changsheng Group talked to me personally,” Yixiang said. “He said that although this matter is incredibly difficult, it is ultimately necessary to explore it generation after generation. I took on this task because my father’s lifelong dream is similar to this task.”

Lin Xiaosu's eyes widened...

“My father often said that the Gu Dao is the ancient form of genetic modification, and genetic modification is the modern form of Gu Dao. I have come to understand this, and I also hope to find a way to break free from the genetic shackles through the Gu Dao. Unfortunately, my comprehension is not that high. I have read through all the ancient books left by my father, but I still have no clue…”

She laid out the entire task she had been assigned.

She was tasked by Ding Lizhong, chairman of Changsheng Group.

What kind of task is it?

Unshackle modern gene-editing technology!

Genetic modification can dramatically improve a person's physical abilities, making it a near-milestone in modern technology.

However, genetic modification has its limitations.

There are also constraints.

The success rate is low.

Even if successful, the risk of genetic rejection remains in the body.

Furthermore, there is another type of person who reaches their peak upon debut and cannot improve further.

These are all genetic constraints.

Ding Lizhong hopes to break free from this shackle.

In fact, which pharmaceutical group in the world doesn't want that?
Who among those at the top wouldn't want that?
If this constraint can be broken, genetic modification will truly be a smooth and easy path forward.

This is a great project.

This project cannot be completed by one person alone, but it requires various opportunities.

The Gu Dao is one of them.

Gu Dao is an ancient form of genetic modification!
Genetic modification is the modern form of witchcraft!

The two have something in common.

In the past, the greatest dream of a generation of sorcerers was to achieve commonality.

Today's tech giant, Ding Lizhong, shares the same thought.

So, although Yixiang was theoretically retired, Ding Lizhong still gave her such a task, or perhaps it shouldn't be called a task, because it was a task without inspection, timetable, or hard pressure, only an exploration process.

Yi Xiang gladly accepted.

Because this was what she originally wanted to do.

"I originally planned to stay here for a while. During this time, can we study together?" Lin Xiaosu said.

Yixiang was so happy she almost jumped for joy: "Everyone says you're the smartest! Let's work together to understand..."

From below came her mother's voice: "Yixiang, bring your brother down for dinner."

Although the meal was arranged in a hurry, it still showed great hospitality.

The vegetables include both fresh and dried vegetables.

It contains meat, specifically cured pork.

There are fish, small river fish that have just been caught.

They also opened a bottle of wine, the same wine that Lin Xiaosu had just brought in.

When Lin Xiaosu went down to the restaurant, the wine had already been opened, a glass had been poured, and it was placed at the head table.

That was the same seat he always sat in last time he came here.

That glass was the same one used to pour him wine back then, and the wine was the same wine as before.

Yi Xiang felt nothing unusual.

Over the past six months, her mother had talked to her about Xiao Su so many times that her words increasingly hinted at him being her prospective son-in-law.

The feeling of family has long permeated this old house.

Lin Xiaosu smiled as she held her chopsticks and ate, and drank wine normally during the meal.

As expected, this glass of wine contained the antidote.

The antidote to the love potion.

Drinking this antidote will prevent the love curse from taking effect for a year.

This was a deep worry for the old woman, but after Lin Xiaosu unknowingly removed the curse, her heart was finally at peace.

Her smile began to brighten.

After the meal, the crescent moon rose.

After clearing away the dishes, Grandma said goodbye to Yixiang: I'm going out for a walk.

Then, she leisurely went out to visit her old friends.

Yi Xiang's heart began to race.

She is very sensitive.

Whenever Lin Xiaosu was in front of her, she couldn't help but think about tonight.

She and her brother had already been together.

After experiencing her brother's techniques, his teasing, and his actual lovemaking several times, she couldn't extricate herself. She missed him so much. In the past, when her brother stayed at home for a few days, he would do *that* with her in the guest room every morning. But today, the interval was a bit long, and she couldn't help herself. She felt that if her brother slept in the guest room tonight and she slept in the bamboo house, she might not be able to sleep at all.

However, at this very moment, Grandma went out to visit neighbors...

When your mind is too complicated, your body becomes very sensitive. So much so that when Lin Xiaosu pulled her hand to go upstairs, her legs felt a little weak.

As soon as we went upstairs, the curtains on all four sides were drawn, and then there was a hug, a kiss, a touch...

Yi Xiang breathed heavily, her body sliding down against her will...

But she still retained a sliver of reason: "Brother, let's... let's do it in the guest room tomorrow."

"There's a condition for you to go to the guest room tomorrow: your mother has to go out before dawn. She's so old; it's not right to make her go up the mountain so early in the morning."

Yixiang's mind went blank for a moment: "Do you mean to force me to do whatever I want now, or is it for my mother's good?"

"Well, the old man went out for a walk in the middle of the night with the real purpose of creating an opportunity for you. You can't let the old man's good intentions go to waste."

"Why is it that even though I know my brother is fooling me, I still find it very reasonable? Hmm... then be gentle..."

Two hours passed.

Most of the lights in the ancient Miao village were turned off.

Mother finally returned. When she came back, Yixiang was sitting alone by the stove. Perhaps the fire was too strong, because her face was excessively red.

Where is your brother?

Yixiang gestured towards the guest room with her mouth: "Going to sleep."

"Then you should go to sleep too," said Grandma.

"Okay!" Yixiang left the kitchen and went up to her little bamboo house.

I tidied up the bed, which was a complete mess. The sheets underneath were soaked. Oh my god, I quickly stuffed them into the closet and will deal with them tomorrow.

Life on the hill that followed was peaceful, even elegant.

Some might say that Lin Xiaose and Yixiang are secretly messing around and can't make anything of it, so how can they be elegant?

You know what, it works!
Because it's a tacit understanding.

My mother gets up very early in the morning, and after dinner she goes out to visit neighbors. During the day she is either on the mountain or by the river, adhering to the principle of "not staying home unless necessary".

The young couple are shrewd; they'll seize any opportunity given to them, but when their mother comes back, they'll definitely save face.

The people in the Miao village also saw this outsider son-in-law from afar.

The consensus was that this young man was refined, eager to learn, and quite different from the men in the mountains.

Yes, the label of "love of learning" is quite rare in modern society. How many young people aren't glued to their phones scrolling through their phones? How many are actually studying books?

The traditions of the mountains remain; those who read books will achieve great things.

Therefore, this son-in-law will definitely be successful in the future...

No one could have imagined it.

Lin Xiaosu wasn't reading ordinary books.

He read almost all the materials left behind by the legendary sorcerer.

These materials are not novels; they are obscure, mysterious, and profound. To the average person, each page contains an immense amount of information, but in his hands, he maintains a pace of reading ten books a day…

One day, two days, three days, and in the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day!

Lin Xiaosu was unusually idle for a full ten days.

I actually stayed in Yixiang's little bamboo house for ten days.

In the eleventh month, from the first crescent moon to the full moon in the western sky.

That night, the full moon hung high in the sky.

Lin Xiaosu finished reading the last ancient book.

He lay reclining in a chair on the roof of the bamboo house, gazing at the sky.

In ten days, he had read nearly a hundred ancient books of various kinds. With his kind heart and compassion, he had memorized them after reading them.

Now is the time for integration...

The information in ancient books is diverse.

Some lectures cover theory, others practical application, and there are images and ancient legends, some of which are absurd, while others are thought-provoking...

If we arrange ancient books according to timeline, there are three major timelines.

The first is the oldest ancient book, which is not actually from the Miao region. It is a book about cultivation, meaning that the Gu method originated from the cultivation method.

Secondly, he was the original founder of the Miao Jiang Gu Dao (a type of sorcery), who opened a new door to Gu Dao by studying ancient texts.

Thirdly, there are the modern successors, who innovate and bring forth new ideas generation after generation, including Yixiang's father and Yixiang herself.

If we return to the very beginning, there's a very interesting theory.

The highest realm of spiritual practice is the gathering of the three flowers at the top of the head and the convergence of the five elements.

Three flowers, vitality and spirit!

Vitality and spirit represent three areas.

Essence, the power of the physical body, includes bloodline and genes.

Qi, the power in the path of cultivation, true qi, and the various powers evolved from true qi.

God, primordial spirit, something at the level of consciousness.

In other words, spiritual practice is about making breakthroughs in these three areas.

Many people take it for granted that these three are a whole, and that as long as one cultivates to a high level, all three will naturally fall into place.

Actually, that's not the case. More often than not, the three work separately but in parallel, eventually achieving perfect unity.

This means that each field has its own unique methods for improvement.

For example, the original concept of Gu Dao was actually a law that strengthens the physical body.

When Lin Xiaosu saw this statement, she was stunned for ten seconds.

Because this overturned his understanding of the art of Gu.

In his previous understanding, Gu was something similar to poison, an external object.

However, once the concept of "gu" in these ancient books is elevated to the level of "dao" (the Way), it becomes very sophisticated and profound.

The perfect state of Gu is called "the unity of man and Gu".

What is meant by the fusion of human and Gu (a type of poison)?

It means that the gu you raise will give back the abilities that the gu possesses to you.

For example, if the Gu you raise possesses immortality, and this power is transmitted back to you through special channels, your physical body will also become immortal.

For example, if the Gu you raise can jump more than ten times its own height, this ability will be fed back to you, and you will also have the ability to jump over three floors.

For example, if the Gu's body is hard and indestructible, this ability will be fed back to you, and your physical body will also be strengthened in the same way.

Isn't this just the modern theory of genes?
This is the true origin of the famous saying of the legendary sorcerer: Gu is ancient genetic modification, and genetic modification is the Gu practice of modern society.

This is the connection between Gu and gene theory.

In modern Miao witchcraft practices, "Gu" has become a synonym for insects.

Gu, or poison, has become an external substance comparable to poison.

It's not actually a characteristic of the Gu Dao itself; it's merely a manifestation of the Gu Dao not reaching perfection.

How to achieve perfection in Gu Dao?

It's mentioned in a book called "The Secrets of Creation". (End of Chapter)
