New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 231 Divination Extraction Assimilation Test
Nie Yin skillfully stripped a laboratory-grade frog naked in less than 15 seconds.

She casually squeezed and pushed her abdomen, and the explosive force from her thumb tip was like a shockwave from the inside out, squeezing and pushing the frog's internal organs out of its anus.

The headless, skinned frog instantly transformed into a jetpack warrior, spitting out its entire body, including its intestines and stomach, all in one go.

In Yuan Zhu's eyes, this girl was like playing with some miniature firework; with a 'bang!', its internal organs exploded, and everything shot out. Some were long, some were short, some were colorful, and some even had a stringy effect—it was quite a sight.

Ultimately, these organs, still retaining a strong vitality, formed an abstract and slightly writhing dynamic image on the ground. A sense of inexplicable mystery permeated the tragic scene.

Snake suddenly exclaimed, "Lord, it's divination! This is a divination chart! The legendary viscera divination!"

Spicy Strips instantly pulled out a piece of knowledge collected on Duling Star from its knowledge base: [Internal Organ Divination]. This method requires a whole, living small animal, which is killed and dissected on the spot. The trajectory left by the spilled internal organs is used to predict good or bad fortune.

Nie Yin's actions perfectly met the standards of [Internal Organ Divination], even exceeding them. His jetpack technique was completely natural, without a trace of artifice.

However, the person involved turned a blind eye to this, having sold herself to kill frogs for many years in the [Rain Courtyard. Frog School]. It had long since become a habit, a numbness, and then a skill bordering on the art. Skinning, decapitating, and skillfully removing the internal organs—she repeated this dozens to hundreds of times a day; it had become an instinct.

She doesn't need to be distracted or exert any effort to kill the frog. Once she gets her hands on it, even without a scalpel, she can subconsciously complete the entire operation using only her fingernails.

When she came to her senses, the live frogs in the basin had all perfectly transformed, lying neatly twitching on the tray beside her. Otherwise, where would she have found the time and energy to learn new knowledge? It was all squeezed out bit by bit like this.

His hands were stained with blood as he automatically completed the peeling and dismantling work; yet his eyes were fixed intently on the open books before him, filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Yuan Zhu: "Do you know divination?"

Nie Yin placed the frog in his hand into a metal tray and set it in front of the Frog God Statue before answering, "I've heard of it, but I don't know how, and I've never had the chance to learn it. The Gemstone system has a crystal divination technique that requires high-purity crystal ore, and I'm not qualified to learn it."

Have you ever heard of "internal organ divination"?

Nie Yin's originally soft, pointed ears immediately perked up, and he casually glanced at the 'internal organs diagram' sprayed on the ground, then shook his head: "Never heard of it, do you know anything about it?"

Although her tone was calm, Yuan Zhu still managed to detect her intense emotional fluctuations through the "Anti-Law." The topic of 'internal organ divination' sparked her strong curiosity and interest, and filled her with a thirst for knowledge.

Yuan Zhu tempted him, "I don't understand, but I can find a way to get you the relevant textbooks. How about it, do you want to learn?"

"miss you!"

"This is included in the [Anti-Law Contract]. It's not simply increasing the 'debt ceiling,' but rather incorporating it into your future life investment. Think of it as a company, and [Anti-Law] as an investment bank. This [Internal Organ Divination] will be offered to you through a patented technology licensing agreement. Do you accept?"

Nie Yin remained silent for a moment, his feelings towards Yuan Zhu plummeting from a slight liking to wariness, rejection, and unhappiness.

Yuan Zhu, however, didn't care at all; a momentary 'sensory fluctuation' was meaningless. As long as he did something naughty with the other person, his favorability would rise again. Once he expressed concern, it would drop back down. If he slightly suppressed and reprimanded the other person, the ruined favorability would return to normal.

Therefore, Snake believes that constantly pulling and teasing the other person, causing their senses to fluctuate wildly, can actually leave a deeper impression. Being a simp is not advisable, being a warm older brother is not suitable, mild criticism, and repeated pulling are more likely to leave a deep impression; this is effective PUA.

Yuan Zhu, who was usually showered with compliments, also gave Snake a round of praise: "Having Snake is like Duke Huan of Qi getting Guan Zhong. It's like a blind man getting double pupils, or a withered bone growing dragon scales!"

Snake (ω) said shyly, "Oh, no, it's all thanks to your wisdom, Prison Master! You've got me all figured out!"

On the other side, Nie Yin, despite her personality flaws, possessed excellent intelligence, even being quite gifted. After a brief moment of thought, she chose to refuse Yuan Zhu's request: "I won't study anymore."

Yuan Zhu nodded: "Okay, I will try my best to collect this divination technique and wait for the day you need it."

The girl ignored Yuan Zhu and continued to focus on her work. She took an X-shaped cross that she had placed beforehand and placed it in front of the Frog God Statue. She then deftly tied the limbs of the skinned, headless, muscle-bound, empty-bellied frog to the four points of the X, arranging it in a position as if it were being tortured.

Then he kept pulling the ropes binding his limbs tighter and adjusting the angle until his limbs were taut and straight, resembling the image of Shang Yang knowing the strength of a horse.

Immediately, she carefully took a square wooden box from her schoolbag. Opening the lid, she first removed a hollowed-out circular stand resembling an armillary sphere, then a base similar to a Bagua compass, followed by a rod-shaped object engraved with mysterious talismans…

At first, Yuan Zhu was completely baffled by these messy and distinctly Taoist ritual implements. But as Nie Yin skillfully assembled them and connected the two familiar red and blue wires, he finally understood.

This is clearly a simple hand-cranked generator!
Because of its excessive 'ritual instrumentation and Taoist influence,' he didn't recognize it at first. Once assembled, it was clearly a device (ritual instrument) that uses a conductor to cut magnetic field lines and generate electricity by hand-cranking.

He quickly discovered the nameplate on these classical devices: "[Qingwei Brand. Hand-cranked Yin Thunder Generator]". In addition, complex talismanic inscriptions were engraved on the surface or inside of various devices. Only by superimposing these metaphysical symbols could the 'movement cutting magnetic field lines' successfully generate the specified Yin Thunder.

Yuan Zhu, who had learned about the failure of the "electric revolution" from his middle school textbooks, was seeing this rare "generator" for the first time in person.

Today, the industrial system of the planet Duling is mainly based on elemental alchemy and elemental steam engines. The energy contained in 'alchemical elements' is no less than that of Earth's electricity, and may even be more powerful.

The steam totems he saw in the Astral Bank's spatial rift were 'steam artifacts' with the potential for ascension. In Warhammer 40, they would be 'machine spirits' capable of materializing and ascending to godhood in the warp.

Yuan Zhu: "This is... a generator?"

Nie Yin: "Yes, it's a power-generating device that the school purchased for everyone."

Yuan Zhu watched as the girl gently touched the wire to the chicken meat of the 'Skinned and Tortured Frog' and asked curiously, "It looks like the structure is quite simple, and the gold content isn't very high. Is it possible to make a replica privately?"

As Nie Yin cranked the circular handle to generate [Jade Pivot Yin Thunder], he replied, "Someone tried, but failed. The core technology of the generator lies in the talismans monopolized by different [Thunder Magic Groups]. Without the certification of these talismans, simple magnetic field cutting cannot generate electricity. Even a 1:1 replica is useless."

Yuan Zhu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Just like his [Holy Seal], even if others see it, they are powerless to imitate it; there are too many things involved behind it. Simply copying the appearance of the runes is meaningless; what is more important is the spiritual essence.

As a faint [Jade Pivot Yin Lightning (attribute current)] was continuously generated, it stimulated the skinned frog's body through the wires. Under the invisible gaze of the [Frog God Statue], its suffering body began to tremble and convulse violently.

Soon, a pale yellow liquid began to be secreted from the gaps between the muscles.

After Nie Yin accelerated the generator to a certain speed, he suddenly released his grip, ensuring that it would continue to operate for a period of time due to inertia.

At this moment, she quickly picked up a glass syringe, assembled it, and placed the needle against the tiny liquid droplets, collecting them little by little into the syringe.

Repeat this process, adjusting the position of the wires to stimulate different muscle parts of the frog; then frantically crank the generator to increase the power for further torture and stimulation; finally, collect the secretions with a syringe.

Yuan Zhu: "What are you doing?"

"Collecting the raw materials for [Body Tempering Fluid], that is, the essence of power, allows for the purification and extraction of the true [Body Tempering Fluid]. This is also the fundamental reason why the school is acquiring large quantities of 'experimental-grade frogs.'" His senior recommended he raise frogs to get rich because high-grade 'pure frogs' are in high demand and scarce in various laboratories. So, if it's a lucrative business, wouldn't there already be people monopolizing the positions? How can there still be vacancies?

The reason for all this is that the Frog School and other Power System pharmaceutical companies need a continuous supply of fresh, pure frogs to extract the Body Tempering Fluid, with no upper limit on the amount they can acquire!

According to Nie Yin, the collection of the [Quenching Fluid Raw Materials] must be done under the witness of the [Frog God Statue], the person must have died within 3 hours, and the environment (pollution level) must be highly demanding, requiring skilled personnel.

With so many conditions combined, it really is a job that requires a certain level of 'skill'. And it's very taxing on the frog.

"Can these secretions be used directly as [body tempering fluid]?"

Nie Yin shook his head: "Of course not, it still needs to go through a series of processes to purify, remove impurities, and extract. You can buy the most basic manufacturing process from the Frog School."

Yuan Zhu speculated that these secretions probably contained certain hormones and were connected to the Frog God, becoming a medium for 'frog-related pollution'.

However, in his perception, the 'yellow liquid' secreted by these frogs' muscles had a very low pollution concentration. Would it take a huge number of frogs (thousands? tens of thousands?) to produce the bottle she held?
Even with all that, it still requires someone like Nie Yin, a 'ruthless frog-killing girl' who has been deeply involved in the laboratory for many years, a statue entangled with countless vengeful spirits, a [Qinghui Yinlei Generator], and a clean laboratory maintained by a large amount of holy water and holy ash... All things considered, the cost of [Body Tempering Fluid] is really not low.

Snake: "I've discovered that raising frogs doesn't guarantee wealth; it's hard-earned money. We should learn from their methods and then take over the [raw material preparation] process ourselves. We could even go further and produce [tempering fluid] to sell, eliminating middlemen from taking a cut!"

Yuan Zhu: "Yes, great minds think alike. That's what I think too."

So the two continued to enjoy Nie Yin's smooth, fluid, and pleasing 'frog-torture ritual'.

After about 10 minutes of being struck by lightning, the headless, skinned, and empty-bellied muscular frog was gradually drained of its essence and slowly lost its vitality.

At this moment, Nie Yin also removed the wires from its body and stopped the hand-cranked power generation process.

Still not quite done looking, Candle asked, "Why did you stop?"

"The basic [Quenching Fluid Raw Materials] have been extracted. Continuing to pressurize them will not only waste energy but also weaken the 'frog's' potential. Our goal is to conduct a 'fitness experiment,' not an 'extraction experiment.'"

Yuan Zhu then remembered that the other party's purpose in skinning the frog was to test what concentration of [body tempering fluid extract] was appropriate for the orc to inject; not to torture and abuse the little frog to extract the other party's 'body tempering fluid raw material'.

It's all because the little sister's skills are too exquisite. Her smooth, expressionless movements, radiating inner joy, are truly a feast for the eyes. Especially since he, as the [Anti-Law Master], can read the user's emotions through [Anti-Law] and share that heartfelt joy... it's simply unstoppable!

"Then hurry up and continue."

Nie Yin ignored Yuan Zhu, who was getting in his way, and carefully set aside the fine syringe from which less than 3 millimeters of blood had been extracted. He then replaced it with a new syringe, went to the suspended hybrid orc, found the artery, and quickly drew away a small portion of the blood that had been contaminated by the 'Shadow'.

Returning to the makeshift control panel, she picked up the frog from the X-frame and, with a swift motion, inserted the needle into the chest, piercing the heart, and propelled the injection, injecting all the orc's [tainted blood] into the ventricle.

Yuan Zhu then realized that in the [Internal Organ Ejection Diagram] he had just seen, the liver, gallbladder, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all present, but the heart was missing?
So, the frog's heart remains inside its body?

At this moment, Nie Yin's delicate, fair hand had already grasped the skinned frog, and placed the pad of her thumb on her heart. Then, as if squeezing a screaming chicken, she performed rapid and continuous external cardiac pressure in a highly rhythmic manner.

Using his physical strength, he squeezed the heart from a distance, helping the headless frog start pumping blood, allowing the orc's filthy blood to quickly flow through its limbs and bones. As for the internal bleeding and the blood spurting from the severed head, it was all shielded by 'Holy Ash'.

"Technology! It's all technology!"

Yuan Zhu watched in awe, marveling in his heart that this was the culmination of years of experience in killing frogs—a skill that bordered on the Dao!
Nie Yin may lack access to advanced knowledge and experiments, but she is exceptionally solid in basic practical skills. Her senior chose a genius for herself; her basic operations are top-notch. Judging from her personality, she's not averse to 'evil and forbidden experiments,' and given her withdrawn and gloomy nature, it's unlikely she'll leak information due to her lack of social interaction.

Yuan Zhu: "He can be cultivated into a trusted confidant!"

Snake: "PUA her hard!"

As the 'orc blood' rapidly flowed through every inch of the headless frog's body, Nie Yin slightly moved his fingers, directly controlling the 'shadow blood' within the frog's body.

Although she signed the Anti-Law contract only one night ago, she had already begun to try and master the basic control methods of Shadow Pollution through the Anti-Law Contract last night.

At this moment, she was able to control the 'Shadow Beast Blood' to corrode and pollute the headless frog.

The reason why there is a lack of experimental-grade frogs and hamsters in [Yuyuan] is precisely because their growth environment is 'clean and tidy' enough, and the adult deviation is extremely low, which is barely considered to be a state of 0 pollution.

These experimental subjects, being completely untouched by pollution, exhibit excellent adaptability to various forms of contamination. The 'skinned frog' at this moment is no exception, perfectly absorbing the beast's blood and being corrupted by the 'power of shadow'.

With a blank slate, it gains a 'Shadow Contamination Intensity' similar to that of an orc, much like the concept of 'similar triangles' in geometry. Therefore, the 'Body Tempering Fluid' concentration data obtained through the 'Shadow Muscle Frog' is also suitable for this orc who is being suspended.

Yuan Zhu: "I understand now, it's really scientific!"

Nie Yin frowned, feeling a sense of indignation at being slandered: "This isn't science, it's knowledge from the Frog School!"

On the extraordinary planet of Duling, science is an unrealistic 'ancient fantasy'. Ancient classics and vernacular stories contain numerous novels that depict a 'physical earth science worldview background'.

Therefore, in modern times, people generally hold a disdainful attitude towards the unrealistic "science fiction" found in fairy tales.

Soon, Nie Yin used the frog that had been exploited to calculate the appropriate concentration of the body tempering fluid for orcs. He then used the frog until it was worn out and lost its value, but it had also fulfilled its mission.

Snake: "Actually, it was just contaminated. Although it died, its body still retains a high level of activity due to the stimulation of the contaminated blood. It's perfect for the third round of extraction, to be burned as a holy light dry cell battery."

Reminded by Snake, Yuan Zhu also stepped forward and took the polluted frog that Nie Yin had taken from the X shelf.

She had intended to casually toss it into a trash bag and take it back to school to dispose of it. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhu snatched it away, raised it high, and a beam of holy light transformed the 'skinned shadow frog' into the hilt of a Star Wars lightsaber.

With a whoosh, a 30cm long light sword blade shot out from the broken neck of the Frog Holy Sword. Yuan Zhu casually swung it a few times, using the [Holy Seal. Sanctuary] to shape it with a force field.

He tried to recall the 'Space Slash' he had used at the bank and successfully shaped the holy light into a thin 'Space Barrier Blade,' but after a few moves, he burned it to ashes.

So he squeezed hard, crushing the dried frog carcass into powder and scattering it on the table: "Here, fresh [Holy Ash]."

Nie Yin stared at the 'frog protein powder' with a strange expression, his voice inexplicably fluctuating as he uttered a melodious "Thank you!"

According to the feedback from [Anti-Law], her emotions fluctuated greatly. Snake described it as surprise, and a tiny bit of attraction. 'Tormenting' the little frog really does increase favorability!
