New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 206 Parting
In Mengxi Yue's rant, after classical chemistry enthusiasts overcome the preparation step of removing 'extraordinary contamination' from the raw materials, they will face the most difficult stage of 'chemical reaction reduction'.

The principles of chemical combination in classical chemistry follow Earth's theories, which Yuan Zhu is most familiar with. However, the principles of chemical combination in the contemporary world of Duling Star have two different systems: the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory system corresponding to alchemy; and the Four Symbols Cycle theory system corresponding to alchemy.

Their status is similar to that of the neighboring [Mechanical Magic Network]. They are the fundamental laws governing the modern 'chemistry' system, ruling the entire world. Without these two fundamental frameworks, reactions cannot proceed smoothly and will always fail.

Therefore, even in a special 'closed experimental environment,' classical enthusiasts still need to translate 'old chemical reactions' to proceed smoothly. However, once this is done, the original 'chemical formula' will inevitably be distorted, and the product will more or less produce new errors.

After countless experiments, and finally extracting and preparing the desired product, we finally arrived at the last step.

This special 'pure substance (zero pollution)', created outside of existing natural laws, will eventually return to the polluted environment of the planet Duling. 'Chemical products' will be re-introduced with pollution, undergoing unknown qualitative changes before it can finally stabilize.

The final challenge lies in "filling in the contamination." How to cleverly fill in the "contamination" in a way that ensures the attributes of the "product" remain unchanged, or even are further enhanced, while simultaneously giving this achievement its own "patent certification" and branding it with a unique label.

Meng Xiyue also specifically mentioned several 'property rights disputes'. These were all poor guys who were obsessed with classical chemistry research, had burned through all their funds, and then their projects were noticed by someone with ulterior motives who offered to fund them.

Then, the two parties hit it off immediately and overcame numerous difficulties to successfully develop the 'product'. However, in the final step, the investor preemptively completed the 'pollution re-injection', injecting their own unique 'pollution power', thus successfully seizing the 'copyright and patent' and making it their own.

Yuan Zhu listened with curiosity and exclaimed in surprise, "You can play like this?"

Meng Xiyue nodded, pointing at him and saying, "Isn't your current 'Holy Light' a kind of [Exclusive Holy Light] filled with a strong personal imprint? If you use [Exclusive Holy Light] to complete the secondary contamination of 'pure chemical products' while ensuring that their properties remain unchanged, then it will be a [Holy Light] potion. You can even apply to the [Sanctuary] for more support, establish a personal brand, and ultimately bind your [Holy Path] with [Medicine], growing towards becoming a [Medical Angel]."

Zhou Chu wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right! If you can truly develop a completely new medicine with no obvious side effects that can cure diseases and save lives, then [Medical Angel] is indeed a very good direction. If you have ambition, I will lend you a hand!"

The thought of transforming Yuan Zhu from a madman who recklessly burns the souls and lives of others into an angel who heals and saves lives with medicine is incredibly fulfilling. It perfectly aligns with her own [Law]! Once successful, she can gain powerful [Law] feedback from Yuan Zhu's ascension (Angemon Mega Evolution), becoming even stronger, and perhaps even condensing a new [Law].

Yes, the cultivation of the [Law and Decree] system is about unifying knowledge and action, constantly putting one's own [Law and Decree] into practice, and achieving results and influence. Through 'supervision, urging, and guidance,' Yuan Zhu is transformed into a life-saving [Angel (9+ Seals),' and the feedback received is immense.

Yuan Zhu was unaware of Zhou Chu's thoughts, but he could sense both 'goodwill' and 'malice' from the emotions the other revealed. When combined, they became a malicious 'I'm doing this for your own good'.

However, his own desire has always been to bring the 'medicines' from his home planet Earth out to sell for money. Especially after Meng Xiyue introduced him to the fact that traditional medicines can undergo an additional 'pollution injection' to become truly 'ordinary and stable' local medicines, he became even more interested.

I think both "Holy Light" and "Shadow" are perfect for patent registration. He could include them all—one medicine, two attributes, plus the "Path of Power" potion he's always wanted to be involved in. I heard they'll be improved into "Dragon Medicine" in the future, and he'd be one of the sources of the raw materials.

In order to prevent the future from veering too far off course, he boldly decided to jump from the [Dragon Medicine Experiment Subject] to the [New. Dragon Medicine Researcher] to ensure that this timeline could proceed smoothly!
Facing Zhou Chu's expectant gaze, Yuan Zhu nodded earnestly: "It sounds complicated and difficult, but I'm still willing to try. [Medical Angel], right? I'm willing to try and move forward."

Zhou Chu was satisfied with Yuan Zhu's awareness and assured him, "In this regard, as long as you continue to achieve results, I will help you and even invest in you."

Upon hearing this good news, Yuan Zhu couldn't help but look at Meng Xiyue: What about you? Aren't you going to say something?
The latter rolled his eyes: "I'll let it go. What path you choose is none of my business. But I've already collected a set of basic experimental equipment for [Classical Chemistry] for you. However, you'll still need to purchase additional equipment or magic arrays to shield you from the external environment and to remove the 'extraordinary elements of the raw materials'."

As she spoke, she slammed a small pumpkin filled with equipment onto the table. These inexpensive beakers, test tubes, alcohol lamps... were all things she had taken from the college laboratory.

With the Little Pumpkin, she became much more adept at committing crimes at the academy. In particular, the Little Pumpkin's unique nature allowed it to pass through many security checkpoints and was not treated as a "space device," but rather categorized as an "accessory" or "bag."

"Thank you very much!"

Yuan Zhu picked up the small pumpkin, sensed the interior space, and a bunch of old experimental equipment. He didn't mind that it was outdated and old, since it was given to him for free.

After expressing his sincere gratitude, he put the "Little Pumpkin" in his pocket, only to be met with a confused and annoyed glare from the person opposite him.

He asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Why are you glaring at me?"

Meng Xiyue laughed angrily: "Why do you think I'm asking? Do you want to get my [Little Pumpkin] for free? You took the experimental equipment I gave you, fine, but you're not going to give me back an empty storage device? This thing is hundreds of times more expensive than the experimental equipment, and you already have one."

"Ah! You mean this?" Yuan Zhu suddenly realized, and instead of returning it, he went further and said, "Give me 19 more, I know you have some."

"Huh? ┌(。Д。)┐?!" Meng Xiyue was shocked upon hearing this. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yuan Zhu: "Don't panic, this is an investment. Do you know the cultivation method of the [Holy Light System]? There is an extremely important foundation building process called [Seal Forging]. During the Seal Forging process, the higher the quality of the 'soul ashes' absorbed through burning, the stronger the [Holy Seal] will be, and there is even a chance that it will give birth to new 'abilities'."

"What a coincidence, isn't it? My [Holy Seal. Sanctuary] is not only of extremely high quality, but it's also a rare 'space-type' holy seal. Think about it carefully, isn't there a very close connection between it and the [Little Pumpkin]? I have a bold idea: using the [Little Pumpkin] as a contaminant to forge the seal, I can transform a limited number of 'space items' into a path to wealth that can be continuously replicated [space-type items]. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Which is more profitable? You know what I mean."

Meng Xiyue calmed down and instantly seized the blind spot: "I've heard about it, but I don't really understand. I have two questions. You've already condensed the Soul Crystal, and the Sanctuary has long since completed the imprinting. Why are you still imprinting? Second, even if you really need the Little Pumpkin for imprinting, can you guarantee that you can successfully cultivate a new ability? And this new ability is definitely the creation of 'storage equipment'? If it were that simple, your Sanctuary would have already started selling spatial items on a large scale, instead of the Star Bank keeping them for so long and giving them as special 'gifts' to VIP users."

Meng Xiyue's words hit the nail on the head, but Yuan Zhu was not afraid at all. After all, he and Sheshe had simulated it several times last night, designing various scenarios.

So he calmly replied, "To answer your first question, I have successfully forged the [Sanctuary] once. During the forging process, I successfully comprehended two abilities, gaining a profound understanding and insight into the [Sanctuary]. Now, my second seal still chooses the [Sanctuary], demonstrating a high-level perspective while maintaining compatibility with lower levels. I can only say that this round of 'forging' will be even more composed and refined. Therefore, I have specially chosen the [Little Pumpkin] as the offering!"

"Not only that, my two seals are currently pure and flawless, having only been forged from the 'spatial embers' of the little pumpkin. But I'm worried about not having enough offerings, which is why I'm specifically seeking your help. Invest in me, and you'll get a hundredfold return! As for the 100% certainty of comprehending 'storage equipment,' of course I don't have that, but I can be 100% certain that it will definitely be a spatial ability. At worst, it can become a 'spatial blessing' or 'spatial enchantment,' which is still a good deal. Anyway, you have more than you can use of the [little pumpkin], so why not support your brother this time? I'll give you the right to use the [Shadow Dream Hole] later! Space for space, you won't lose out." Meng Xiyue sneered, "Was your last sentence a threat to me? I've never seen such a shameless person as you."

"Whether it's okay or not, just say the word."

"Okay, okay, but I'll only give you 18. I'm giving the last one to Sister Chuchu!"

After a brief moment's thought, Pinky decided to sponsor Yuan Zhu. Firstly, while the Little Pumpkin was wondrous and rare, its value wasn't as high as one might imagine; otherwise, it wouldn't be a VIP gift from the Star Bank.

Proper storage equipment has ample internal space. Items like the "Little Pumpkin" are usually used as handbags or children's backpacks. Giving it to Yuan Zhu in exchange for his support in the underworld isn't a bad deal.

Yuan Zhu's explanation of cultivating the [Spatial Sacred Seal] was particularly enticing; what if it actually worked? Meng Xiyue was never one to seek safety; she was the type to take a gamble. This [Sacred Seal], she'd take it!
After sorting everything out, she decisively grabbed a handful of small pumpkins, all the same size but with different details, from her backpack and placed them on the table. She then picked out the one with the largest internal space and gave it to Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu, who originally disliked receiving favors, realized that the item was not valuable to them after seeing Meng Xiyue's generosity and Yuan Zhu's shamelessness. Instead, it was just consumable material that could be sacrificed and destroyed at will. He reached out and took one, while looking at the two with even more suspicion: "What exactly are you two hiding?"

Meng Xiyue stood tall and said, “We are both completely innocent. We are teammates, and our every move will be under your watchful eye from now on, subject to your supervision at any time! Don’t treat us like suspects. We are teammates and friends. You need to consider our feelings.”

Not daring to contradict Tie Tou, Yuan Zhu could only nod and agree repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

After a moment of self-reflection, Zhou Chu finally realized that he was not wrong and that his intentions were entirely good: "Okay, I won't ask anymore."

At this moment, Meng Xiyue spoke up: "Starting last night, I'll be entering a busy period. I'll have lunch with you all today, and then it'll be endless work. We can only cooperate if [Mao Mao Wang] issues another mission."

As she spoke, she raised an eyebrow at Yuan Zhu. The implication was that she needed to return to the academy to digest the gains from the [Star Core].

Zhou Chu then looked at Yuan Zhu: "And you, when are you going back?"

"Tomorrow morning, I guess. I didn't do much shopping in Taixi, and I don't have the energy for it anymore. Right now, all I can think about is going home and trying out [Classic Medicine]."

Yuan Zhu wasn't lying; he had initially been full of anticipation for the trip. However, upon arrival, he was immediately captivated by the city's wondrous scenery and became particularly interested in the celestial palace in the sky.

However, after experiencing a [spatial rift], his mental state was severely damaged, and he had no interest in sightseeing whatsoever. He just wanted to go home as soon as possible to take stock of his spoils. In addition, rather than visiting Taixi City, he would rather go back to his hometown and play with Miaomiao in Cat Street.

Seeing that the two looked equally exhausted, yet displayed remarkable tacit understanding, and skillfully traded large quantities of [Little Pumpkins], Zhou Chu keenly sensed that there was a secret between them: "You two are definitely hiding something from me!"

Looking at the little pumpkin that Yuan Zhu had taken into her [Soul Space], she muttered, "You guys didn't secretly rob a bank, did you?"

Meng Xiyue: "Heh~ You have quite the imagination."

Yuan Zhu chimed in, "Who robs a bank and only steals the freebies?"

The three quickly ran out of things to say and fell into a silent, yet not awkward, silence. Some looked at the sky, some at the sea, and some yawned. They were completely at ease.

Yuan Zhu suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Oh, right! On my way to Taixi this time, I had a little adventure. Can you guys tell me if there are any hidden dangers or risks?"

Meng Xiyue lifted her head from her sleeping position and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."

"When I was traveling through the Misty Mountains, I was drawn to the 'whispers' outside the car window. Relying on the protection of my spirit and soul by the [Soul Crystal], I did not resist but listened attentively. Then, my mind was filled with inexplicable knowledge, and I eventually forgot the messy and incomplete information and summarized a few rituals."

Yuan Zhu concealed the [Sacrifice Ritual], and then introduced the [Soap Recipe, Golden Runes, Buddha Maggot Incense, Starlight Guidance, Moon Path Sublimation, Fire Extinguishing Ritual], before looking to Zhou Chu and Meng Xiyue for guidance.

He asked the man before him, "Is this knowledge reliable? Are there any hidden dangers?"

Then he asked the latter, "Does the knowledge I gained through listening count as the extraordinary knowledge of the [School of Knowledge]?"

As a result, after learning that Yuan Zhu had obtained a lot of knowledge from the [Mist], the two of them became serious.

Zhou Chu spoke first: "First, I must commend your mental state for consulting me immediately instead of directly learning and utilizing the 'unfamiliar knowledge' that surfaced in your mind. I can only tell you that this 'knowledge' is problematic, and caution is the right thing to do. If you trust me, write down all the knowledge in your mind and give it to me. I will help you filter it and extract the valuable and safe parts. If you don't trust me and use this content, it won't cause any problems at first, but over time, you will be gradually eroded and contaminated."

Meng Xiyue then spoke up: "I don't know the situation in the Misty Mountains. But your situation is very common. The 'extraordinary knowledge' in the [Knowledge School] is [inert knowledge] based on the [Mechanical Magic Network], which focuses on stability and immutability. The seemingly simple yet profound things that you can comprehend simply by listening to your delirium are called [active knowledge], also known as [distorted knowledge]. It is ever-changing and contains a lot of hidden pollution. A stable and unchanging [inert knowledge] can easily be distorted in nature and become ever-changing simply by passing through the hands of different demon gods."

Yuan Zhu: "So, we can't believe it, and we can't learn it?"

"It's best not to. Give it to Zhou Chu first and let her filter it for you."
