The Great Seminary

Chapter 278 The future is promising
After a moment of surprise, Zhang Gui took out five pure meat pills from his pocket, stuffed them into his mouth, and began to chew them heartily.

During this time of searching for the 'secret cave'.

He felt that his extraordinary level was only half a step away from advancing from the fifth-grade 'upper-middle' to the fourth-grade 'upper-grade'.

Therefore, he specifically ordered the search for able-bodied men in the northern border regions of Ming and Song to fill the army of stone corpse warriors of the True Dragon, and to focus on suppressing those cultivators who were doing evil during the chaotic times.

Whether they are dead or alive, bring them all back to Shanhai County.

Zhang Gui was transported across the sea to Zhenlong Island, where, with the 'phosphorus-free insect eggs' he had on hand, human-headed flesh worms hatched.

Killing grants a positive, mystical reward, allowing you to ascend to the extraordinary realm.

Zhang Gui originally thought that he only needed to deepen the imprint of the 'Civilization Path' he created in the mysterious realm once or twice, and at most five or six times.

They will inevitably be able to advance to the final stage of 'Class C Transcendent', and from then on, they can only look forward to the prestigious status of 'True Person Seed'!

Unexpectedly, Zhang Gui managed to deplete all of it, and what was found in Lao Fan's money bag in Shanhai County were three whole pieces of quail egg-sized, non-phosphorus insect eggs.

After hatching, it killed more than a hundred human-headed worms.

He ultimately had ten opportunities to make the imprint of the 'path to civilization' he had created slightly more profound in the mysterious realm.

Yet his extraordinary strength remained at the 'Category C' level, without any increase whatsoever.

It's just that his 'appetite' started to increase steadily.

Previously, three or four pure meat balls could be equivalent to 100 kilograms of meat in one meal.

It is served with ordinary food and drinks as 'side dishes' for three to five large men.

Now, I can chew more than ten pure meat balls raw as a 'main meal'.

As for the 'side dishes', they were eaten because of Zhang Gui's eating habits, so there was no change.

This phenomenon has never been observed in Zhang Gui.

However, Tao Yaoyao, the newly promoted "Heavenly Rank" powerhouse from the ancient human sect "Dailuo Sect," once mentioned it briefly when she was teaching him extraordinary knowledge through "forming good ties."

It is said that the most outstanding talents qualified to become 'seeds of true immortality' are in the process of crossing the insurmountable barrier from the fourth rank 'upper grade' 'B' to 'upper grade'.

Some will be uneventful and develop naturally, while others will exhibit various unusual phenomena.

One of them is the 'whale-like appearance', which means a significant increase in appetite.

The reason is said to be...

One reason is that the leap from 'human' to 'real person' is too great.

If the speed of advancement is too rapid, the body will experience discomfort and will require a large amount of nourishment.

At this time, it would be best to accept elixirs, miraculous medicines, and immortal fruits; if those are unavailable, then dietary supplements are the only option.

Secondly, it's also because the leap from 'human' to 'real person' is too great.

But the word 'too great' here refers to this exceptionally talented individual who has been promoted, making him the leader and the best among even the most exceptional talents.

While others experience a transformation in their lives through 'optimization,' he simply overturns everything and starts anew, fundamentally 'transforming from the ordinary to the divine.'

As for mortals who conceive life, the fetus is born in a state of ignorance and confusion, so we won't discuss it.

However, from the ten months of pregnancy to the day of childbirth, a mother's body and mind will instinctively urge her to eat and drink well and store up nutrients.

So much so that even petite women weighing around 100 pounds can gain half their weight in one go.

If mortal fetuses are subject to such conditions, how much more so the fetuses that give birth to deities!

This time, Mother couldn't be of much help, but how could the gods, with their own three treasures of body, mind, and spirit, not have any intuition and take early action?
Zhang Gui feels that he is becoming increasingly able to eat, which must be this kind of 'coping mechanism'.

However, he is a bit special. Other real people's seeds develop the "whale-swallowing appearance" during the process of going from "upper Bing" to "upper Yi".

His intuition, encompassing his body, mind, and spirit, was exceptionally sharp, allowing him to prepare a response a step ahead of time.

"This is what it means for extraordinary people to achieve extraordinary things."

I, Zhang Gui, am a very special existence among the 'True Seeds'. I remember Aunt Tao once said that I met three out of the thirty-three conditions for judging a 'True Seed', making me a genius of our time.

But she also said that there are thirty-three people in the 'underground world' who have all the answers, which means they are dozens of times better than me.

But when I was little, I wasn't strong; I was just "baby strong." I refused to believe that anyone in the world, in the vast universe, would be "suppressing" me forever!

After chewing up a mouthful of pure meatballs and swallowing them, Zhang Gui's mind wandered aimlessly.

Even the highest-grade "Tiangong Kaiwu" (a type of ancient Chinese craft) is only considered superior when the final step of city construction is completed.

This is different from the 'alchemy room' that can be built in places with earth fire to refine food pills.

'Tian Gang. Peerless' allows anyone willing to transform their metal flying craftsmanship into a metal 'alchemist' and freely construct alchemy rooms at will.

Zhang Gui had previously thought that although the small 'Flying Man's Creations' were numerous, they were non-renewable.

Therefore, a second 'alchemy room' was never built.

But ever since he developed the 'whale-like' appearance, he pondered deeply and realized that he might need to nourish his three treasures in the future by 'moving in large quantities'.

Furthermore, after the True Dragon Kingdom makes its "appearance" overseas, it needs some "special products" to gain fame and recognition in the Luanya Islands.

So let's just do it all at once.

About ten kilometers behind the New World Sea City, at a place with earth fire, a 'City of Elixir Fire' was built, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of cauldrons.

Although only 1,024 of the treasure cauldrons have been lit so far, it is already a rare sight in the outer seas!

"The monthly production of Zhenlong Kingdom's Pure Breast Pills has now reached about 360,000 pills."

But what if in the future I need to transform into a giant body hundreds of feet tall to eat pills and replenish my nutrients in order to complete the transformation from mortal to god?

"Grab it!"

Zhang Gui then took out five more pure meat pills from his pocket, gestured with them, and popped them into his mouth again, chewing as he continued his random daydreams.

"It should start at least at ten thousand."

Thirty-six hundred thousand is about thirty mouthfuls.

Even if you add 720,000 Liangfu pills and over 1.4 million Jingliang pills, these are still low-grade goods.

That might not even be enough to eat.

Fortunately, during the founding phase of my nation, I implemented steam-powered mechanized production in the True Dragon Kingdom, resulting in high productivity.

After acquiring the 'Fish-Dragon Giant Ship', they discovered a way to use the allure of that mysterious 'Promised Land' to hunt down lost giant whales.

There's never a shortage of grains and meat for making food balls..."

Just then, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, a faint shadow obscured Zhang Gui's head.

"Sir, please stand up."

Zhang Gui, who was squatting on the ground, came to his senses and looked up.

Seeing that the person who called him was a young civil official, he obediently stood up.

"Is there a problem, Mr. Tribunal?"

What are you doing in the suburbs at this time?

The official who was questioning them was An Yang from the MF County Police Station, and standing next to him was his colleague, Zhenzhu Maya.

Zhang Gui was about to answer when an idea suddenly occurred to him. He pointed to his feet.

"Let me see what's on the ground."

"What?" An Yang was taken aback. He looked at the ground and found nothing there.

Thinking he had been tricked, he frowned immediately.
