There's something wrong with me

Revisions to Chapter 224 'Innate Talent and Martial Arts'
The next day, in the courtyard.

While holding a bowl of rice porridge, the eldest brother, following Zhang Feng's plan, sent a request to the company to 'find the Heavenly Palace'.

Amidst the occasional surprised glances from the crowd, Zhang Feng sat cross-legged in the courtyard, exhaling visible 'purple aura'.

It displays a brilliant 'purple-orange' color in the sunlight, yet it is as elusive as smoke and clouds.

It's hard to spot its traces without looking closely.

But at this moment, with Zhang Feng's deliberate breathing...

However, everyone could clearly see traces of the Purple Cloud Aura.

And you could see that as Master Zhang breathed, it was like a whale sucking in water, causing the purple clouds above the entire courtyard to gradually gather.

Some residents in the vicinity also witnessed this strange phenomenon of purple mist surrounding the sky.

"Hey, old man... what's that Zhang kid's family over there?"

"Such thick smoke, is Boss Zhang cooking in the yard?"

"That's true. A lot of big bosses came to Uncle Zhang's house, so Uncle Zhang must have cooked for them..."

The nearby residents glanced at it a few times, but didn't think much of it.

And since this was a village, the purple smoke looked more like the smoke from a regular fire.

Because the saying "the sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke" is common knowledge.

Water vapor and smoke appear purple when exposed to sunlight.

The nearby villagers glanced at it a few times, then stopped looking.

They found it strange that the smoke and clouds kept floating in the sky.

But there are some big bosses inside, so there might be some ridiculously thick firewood that doesn't smoke.

Inside the small courtyard.

Zhang Feng inhaled and exhaled while simultaneously sensing the purple glow.

Although the spiritual energy in this world is not high, this 'Zixia' is very strange.

Although it is also spiritual energy, its quality is higher than that of ordinary spiritual energy, and it carries a yang-type attribute aura.

If you want to split it out.

So it should be a mixture of fire, wind, and thunder elements.

Furthermore, the mixture, combined with the sunlight, produces a kind of elusive chemical reaction.

Ultimately, its spiritual energy value reached approximately 2.4.

And it only occurs within the first hour of sunrise.

As Zhang Feng observed, once the morning sun fully rose, the spiritual energy returned to normal levels and dispersed, no longer mixing.

Therefore, it is certain that 'photosynthesis' caused some kind of change in them.

Seeing all these changes.

Zhang Feng thought about it for a moment, then stopped thinking about it, because these things were very difficult to learn.

This isn't a matter of knowledge, but rather a difference in certain chemical rules within the world.

It was under this change in rules that the powerful Purple Cloud Spiritual Energy was generated.

Similar to the enhancement items that text can provide, and the ability to see ghosts, these are all variations within the rules.

Simply copying the rules won't work; you haven't reached that level yet and won't understand them.

But now it's confirmed that Zixia really exists.

Then you can try to find a breakthrough from other aspects and try to reproduce it in reality.

For example, the old rule of having the ability to see ghosts could be modified using genetics.

Similar to the world's specialties from the Prince's World long ago, such as the Stone Spirit Fruit, and the cultivation methods for spiritual energy and internal strength, etc.
As long as a mathematical, physical, or chemical formula that fits reality is found, then it can be analyzed.

The premise is that it must be confirmed that it exists.

Since learning the formulas of cause and effect and the Way of Heaven, Zhang Feng has now begun to view problems from the perspective of rules.

Simply put, even if these things don't exist in reality, and even if these 'spiritual rules' don't exist.

But as long as other worlds exist, they can be replicated in reality.

Because although they do not conform to the rules of spiritual energy, they must conform to mathematical and physical formulas.

Although it sounds far-fetched, early Earth was a giant fireball.

Although the elements exist, they are all disordered and disorganized.

But in the end, it came together to form life and humanity.

This is actually even more outrageous.

However, it also proves that all related elements exist, and that more can be generated from the combination of single elements.

It's just that I didn't realize it.

Similarly, now that Zhang Feng has digested all the knowledge, he is also looking at the problem from a comprehensive perspective.

……

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Zhang Feng breathes in the purple aura every day.

The boss left with his security personnel after a phone call a couple of days ago.

He needed to report the progress to the rest of the core personnel and then arrange the 'search for Tiangong' plan.

As for the remains, Zhang Feng did not let him take them away, but instead found a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains to bury the Great Yama.

It sounds awkward, like being buried from one underground location to another.

But burying the remains in a less populated area, so they are not exposed, is indeed better than being buried in the underworld.

The eldest brother naturally wouldn't say anything about his own arrangements.

Because he had already copied down the techniques on the skeleton.

This is enough for them to process.

And it cannot be fully digested.

Because their technology is far from sufficient.

At least for me, without the aid of superconductivity and virtual miniature buildings, it would take decades to organize and practice these data in order to fully understand them.

But if a super director were to calculate and perfect the stable structure after genetic modification.

In addition, it generates and modifies creatures from virtual buildings, and provides the most intuitive data diagrams of biological functions.

That will be quick.

This organization, no matter how hard they work, they still can't effectively crack it.

At most, it can only be used to create a hybrid of two different animals.

After all, the Great Yama's modification technology was not perfect.

If perfected, it could truly grant longevity to all beings in the Heavenly Dao, then he would never die.

Even when I visited a few days ago, I saw a vibrant Sixth Way filled with human conversations.

However, it turns out that genetic modification is flawed.

Especially those lizards, they are not truly in the 'Hungry Ghost Realm'.

Because they no longer possess human thought; only primal bestiality and the ability to feel pain remain.

If a person is changed into an animal and loses their original human thinking, how can they know why they are being punished?

It's just one problem after another.

Zhang Fengcai has finished studying science and technology, and now he has come to study an even more profound field: biotechnology.

Fortunately, reality has been significantly upgraded by me, and it can also greatly help me.

This topic can be presented to reality.

He himself continued to focus on the Nascent Soul and the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi.

And all the translations about the skeleton.

Zhang Feng also received it.

Occasionally, I'll spare some time to learn the script of Yama.

In this way, if I were to encounter Yama, the Great King of Hell, in another world in the future...

This makes communication much less troublesome.

Thinking.

The troublesome biotechnology has been solved; now we can just put it into real-world calculations.

I will collect the results myself at that time.

The line of thought is logical and clear.

Zhang Feng then began to deduce the talismans of Yangshan Zhenren.

This doesn't require a lot of data support.

Because its structure is described in bamboo slips, it is very straightforward.

Having previous experience and theories in 'modifying various spells', he was able to extrapolate from his 'condensation of water' to deduce the condensation of other spells.

This is a powerful force that produces immediate results.

Biotechnology, on the other hand, allows me to learn more about strange creatures and the most suitable physical combat structures.

But more importantly, it increases the lifespan of people in reality, thereby further strengthening the foundation of computing power in reality.

If both can be achieved in the shortest possible time, it will be another major step forward.

It is no less significant than the earliest discovery of superconductivity and spiritual energy.

Biotechnology will alter the fundamental principles of lifespan limits.

To unlock the 'death shackles' on human genes.

One's own lifespan will also be improved and extended.

Zhang Feng has even used some understandable gene modification techniques to appropriately adjust the position of his muscles and bones.

Finally, yesterday, with a constitution of 142, I received a constitution increase of 10.6.

And what's even more absurd is that his physical constitution and martial arts skills both increased by 0.1!

This biotechnology can repair the body's "eight extraordinary meridians".

Of course, this is also because I understand the human body so well that I can quickly try to make minor adjustments based on the methods mentioned above.

Even so, he was seriously injured and died three times, and used three resurrection opportunities before he finally perfected it.

Zhang Feng also thought it was normal, because talent is something one is born with, something ordained by heaven.

To put it in a more fantastical way, wanting to reverse one's aptitude is no less than a complete 'rebirth,' which is undoubtedly 'going against the heavens.'

Even dying three times didn't feel like enough for Zhang Feng. However, Zhang Feng also understood that if it were someone else, someone without biomechanical knowledge and the accumulated data on billions of functions, it would be a different story.

Even if they revise it ten thousand times, it will still be difficult to succeed.

There is no such thing as luck during this period, not even the highest level of luck will help.

Because this kind of defying fate, like optimizing superconductivity, requires the support of big data and continuous breakthroughs and epiphanies in research.

It was just like the analogy I had in mind.

Creating a superconductor directly is no less than buying a bag of instant noodles for two dollars, then having incredible luck and winning ten million bags, and then illogically winning ten million bags in separate portions.

Such illogicality is acceptable.

The rest, like winning ten million bags by buying one bag, and then winning nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine bags separately, won't work.

The idea of ​​defying fate by changing one's fundamental nature is based on this same logic.

Of course, this excludes the legendary rare and precious materials depicted in some TV dramas.

Because that's rule modification, just like adding talent to words, they're just what you think without any logic.

……

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Early winter is here.

The boss didn't provide any useful information either.

But through these occasional phone calls...

Zhang Feng knew that this organization had already made thorough preparations two months ago and had spent a lot of money to start looking for them.

After all, if the underworld has such outrageous technology, then what is there in the higher heavenly palace in mythology?
To be honest, Zhang Feng could actually tell them the answer, which was 'rune technology'.

But they certainly wouldn't understand.

Furthermore, Zhang Feng couldn't guarantee that these were all the items inside.

Because all the creatures in the underworld, except for the Great Yama and the lizards, have disappeared.

Zhang Feng had a feeling that there was some kind of conspiracy involved.

But regardless of whether there's a conspiracy or not, this organization has no chance of achieving anything regarding rune technology.

Even if it is one of the multinational mega-organizations, it is impossible.

Even if it were handed over to all the official bodies of the world, it would be impossible.

These things require cultivators to draw talismans or require precise superconducting quantum knives to achieve.

However, this does not mean that cultivators have the same level of precision as superconducting quantum knives, but rather that they can use spiritual energy to 'cheat' and draw talismans in a simpler way.

It's like someone picking up chopsticks and eating; it's simple, doesn't require any precision, and can be done casually.

The rest is up to the cells in your body to function.

But to get a robot to hold chopsticks and eat like a human would require a very high level of technology.

Similarly, the relationship between monks and superconductors is like that between humans and robots.

When a cultivator draws a talisman, he or she carefully draws an overall structure, and then leaves the rest to the spiritual energy to fill and perfect it, while also adapting to the variables of the spiritual energy and the instability of the elements.

Yangshan Zhenren further refined the overall structure.

Zhang Feng is now learning this too, but it's no longer about the overall structure as before, but about filling in the gaps at a deeper level.

This control over the microscopic world also provides strong technical and theoretical support.

Zhang Feng even felt that once he reached the Nascent Soul stage, as long as his control improved once more and he thoroughly mastered the existing condensation technology and biological modification technology, he could achieve his goal.

Then we're not far from calling a deer a horse.

Of course, whether they can survive is unknown, but it will definitely change their form.

This includes 'following the laws of heaven and earth' and 'the art of transformation', among others.

These supernatural powers are all based on the condensation of magical techniques and biological modification technology.

During these three months, Zhang Feng not only modified the 'Eight Extraordinary Meridians', but also thoroughly figured out the techniques required for these supernatural powers.

An experience in the underworld.

This allowed Zhang Feng to make even greater progress.

This was just as Zhang Feng had thought.

This world must offer huge rewards, otherwise there wouldn't be such a strict time limit.

As for myself.

In these three months, I have reached a physical condition of [231].

The basic principles of biological modification also led Zhang Feng to adjust his cultivation methods.

In the past, the maximum would be around 210.

If we could create a text-based summary table to enhance this technology.

That is, after obtaining it, your cultivation speed will increase by 10%, your physical constitution and martial arts will increase by 0.1, you will learn some basic theories of supernatural powers, and your lifespan will increase by at least 10 years.

These are all the current findings, and haven't yet been handed over to the superconductor and virtual building for calculation.

Zhang Feng felt that after a few years, the value could at least double again.

……

It’s January again.

Snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Zhang Feng continued to live in the village, without going anywhere else or searching for anyone.

Because my spiritual awareness is too low, there's no point in going there.

It's nowhere near as good as a large organization spending money like water to search for someone.

Therefore, instead of wasting this time, it's better to focus on absorbing knowledge and increasing strength, so as to avoid being attacked by the Heavenly Palace.

And today.

As usual, Zhang Feng stayed indoors cultivating.

Ta Ta -

Steady footsteps echoed from outside the courtyard.

Zhang Feng scanned the area with his spiritual sense and saw that it was Brother Ha and Brother Zhou who had arrived.

They had gone with the leader before, to search together.

Now, seeing them come over.

Zhang Feng also flashed into the courtyard and looked through the low fence at them who were just about to knock on the door.

"Taoist Priest..."

When the two of them saw Zhang Feng suddenly appear, even though they already knew that Zhang Daoshi was not human, they were still startled by his unexpected appearance.

But then Zhang Feng opened the door for them.

After they recovered, they smiled and clasped their hands in greeting to Zhang Feng, saying:

"Master Zhang, how have you been?"

"Brother Zhang! Haha, it's been a long time!"

Brother Zhou was as cheerful as ever, bursting into laughter before he could even finish a sentence.

Brother Ha was more composed, and he was also surrounded by some spiritual energy.

"Not bad, they've all made progress."

Seeing that the two had increased in strength, Zhang Feng smiled and returned the greeting with a nod.

Before they left, Zhang Feng gave them some training methods that suited them.

Otherwise, once the adventures begin, I'll have to dedicate extra energy to taking care of them.

Judging from today's results, it seems to be working well.

Brother Zhou's physique increased by more than 20 points, and Brother Ha's also increased by more than 20 points.

At least when they encounter maze-like situations again, with Brother Zhou's 59 physique and Brother Ha's 42 physique, it's easy for them to achieve the level of 'I'll try to throw you up first, and then you throw me the rope.'

What news do you have for me?

After examining their physical conditions, Zhang Feng noticed the barely suppressed joy on their faces.

"Yes!" Brother Ha wanted to say, but remembering how kind Brother Zhou usually was to him, he looked at Brother Zhou and let him speak.

"After the boss and the others inquired, it seems there is someone in Qi Province who knows the news."

The boss and his team are looking for him now, and have also sent people to stake out some black markets and antique shops.

He looks like a tomb raider.

Brother Zhou was quite straightforward; he didn't mince words, which sounded like he was showing off a treasure to the Taoist priest, and just said it directly.

"We were planning to call you, Master, to tell you the news as soon as possible."

But I was afraid I wouldn't be able to explain it clearly over the phone, and that I might disappoint you, so I decided to say it in person.

"You came all the way to this mountain valley to find me just for this?" Zhang Feng understood what the two meant.

But then...

Zhang Feng immediately took the lead in being discharged from the hospital and asked, "Is this person hard to find? Or hard to deal with?"

“They all…” Brother Ha then interjected, “I’ve heard from many people that this person knows some strange arts.”

In the past, we wouldn't have taken it seriously, because in the tomb raiding business, all sorts of things can be said.

But……"

As he spoke, he looked at Master Zhang.

Because of Master Zhang's skill, his experience in the underworld, and the fact that he is now cultivating his inner energy.

So the more he knew, the more afraid he became.

"We were ignorant and fearless before," Brother Zhou said honestly, without feeling ashamed at all.

"After discovering this person, neither we nor our boss were sure, so my brother and I discussed it and wanted to ask you to come out of retirement."

The eldest brother originally wanted to come and invite you, but he needed to keep an eye on things over there, so he couldn't come and asked me to apologize to you.

Because tomb raiders have many channels, in addition to black markets and antique shops, the boss is also afraid that this person will contact some bosses.

So the boss has been keeping in touch with a lot of business owners in the province lately.

“That’s how it is,” Brother Frog added, pointing in the direction outside the village.

"Master, our car is outside."

"Hmm." Zhang Feng, upon hearing Brother Zhou's request to return to public life, had no other thoughts and answered truthfully:
"It's our business anyway. It's just a matter of finding someone and getting it done."
