Ling Cage: Twelve Talismans? I have everything I need.

Chapter 13 Potential
"Huh? The appendix?"

Xu Tong looked up at Xia Tianlai, his face full of disbelief.

He rushed over to Xia Tianlai's side, his eyes glued to the data displayed on the screen. Yang Chen also walked over curiously, looking at the data as well.

"I activated my appendix after working for half a day?" Xu Tong looked utterly exhausted.

I had a terrible face, and all I got was an enhanced appendix?
Shan Da walked over with a grin and poked Xu Tong's lower right abdomen: "It's okay, at least you won't have to worry about appendicitis anymore."

"Get out of here, you fatso."

At this moment, Xu Tong was in a very bad mood and didn't give Shan Da a kind look at all.

Xia Tian rolled her eyes: "How did you two graduate from Qiu Shi's school?"

"The appendix is ​​involved in intestinal immune regulation and gut microbiota balance, so this potential of yours should still be useful." Xia Tianlai poked Xu Tong's stomach with his finger: "Don't you feel anything right now?"

"Feeling?" Xu Tong scratched his head. "Does wanting to fart count as a feeling?"

"puff--!!!"

After saying that, a series of farts exploded like thunder, causing Xu Tong's clothes to rip up.

Yang Chen dodged away from the group, but Shan Da couldn't keep up. He could only cover his nose and retreat hastily, waving his left hand repeatedly in an attempt to dispel the stench.

"What did you eat last night?! It smells terrible!"

"Roasted sweet potato, do you like it?" Xu Tong took two steps back, sticking her butt out at Shan Da: "Want to try some more?"

The lingering smell of Xu Tong's farts permeated the hall with an indescribable, eerie odor.

Shan Da pinched his nose and looked at Xu Tong's back with disgust: "Look at your fart, you can see it with your own eyes."

"Could it be," Shandong suddenly thought, "that besides being incredibly smelly, your farts have some other purpose?"

"What's the purpose? To sit on the face of the Devouring Beast and then smash it to death with your butt?" Xu Tong said irritably.

"Hmm," Xia Tianlai pondered for a moment, then casually pulled out a glass bottle from the side.

He handed the glass bottle to Xu Tong: "Go back and fill it with some farts for me, I'll study it."

Xu Tong hesitated for a moment, but still took the glass bottle.

How do I install it?

Pointing the bottle opening at your own buttocks? That's a bit of a morbid curiosity.

"You've got a heavy taste, Lao Xia," Nanji Xing teased Xia Tian with a mischievous grin.

Xia Tian glared at him: "You're so old and you still don't behave properly. I'm ashamed for you."

"Hey? You have the nerve to say that to me?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing and exposing each other again, Yang Chen immediately came over to interrupt: "Alright, now that the potential activation is complete, let's go to the ecological base. We haven't dealt with Tasia yet."

"Yes, yes, we still have important things to do." Xia Tianlai nodded hurriedly. If that old man from Nanjixing dug up all his dark history, where would he put his identity as a source quality medical expert?

Moreover, Xu Tong and Shan Da, those two younger guys, are also here.

After the group left the Potential Activation Hall, Yang Chen led Xia Tianlai and Nanji Xing to the Ecological Base.

"Wow, this was even more exciting than watching an action movie!" Xia Tianlai clutched his chest, still shaken by what he had just experienced while flying through the air.

Nanjixing wasn't much better off; her legs were trembling, and she and Xia Tianlai were supporting each other.

"Mr. Yang, let's drive here next time."

Yang Chen smiled awkwardly. He was used to flying like this with Bai Yuekui in the past, but he hadn't considered the speed when he was with these two old people today.

"Slow down next time, slow down next time." Nanjixing and Xia Tianlai stood there for a while before walking into the ecological base together.

At this moment, Bai Yuetian was fiddling with something in front of the instrument, and next to him stood a burly man with a thick beard, who was piecing together something with various parts in his hands.

The burly man was none other than Belenkov, the weaponsmith of Dragonbone Village. He was highly skilled and could tailor-make exclusive weapons according to the potential characteristics of each awakened individual.

The reason for calling Belenkov over was to see if he could create a set of equipment that could stabilize Tasia's potential, based on her specific situation.

Bai Yuetian turned his head and glanced at the three of them: "Oh, my animal friends and two old garlic cloves are here."

Yang Chen and the other two ignored Bai Yuetian's sharp tongue, or rather, they were already used to it.

"How's the situation? Have you made any progress?"

Yang Chen walked straight to Bai Yuekui, who was sitting on the steps, and naturally sat down next to her.

“The existing equipment at the ecological base is not enough to fully analyze the principles of Tasia’s potential.” Seeing Yang Chen sit down next to him, Bai Yuekui leaned his head closer. “We just showed Belenkov how Tasia used her potential. Now we need to make a special device for Tasia to record her state.”

“Tasia’s state can only last for tens of seconds. If you touch her in that state, you will also enter the same state as Tasia. The reason why you did not react when you touched Tasia may be because of the spell inside your body.”

Yang Chen nodded knowingly. It seemed that Ma Fuzhou regarded that state as a negative influence and therefore banished it.

Bai Yuekui continued, "If her special state continues for too long, her body may reorganize or mutate."

"Reorganization, alienation?" Yang Chen frowned.

"That is, it is possible that the hands could become feet, and the feet could grow in other parts of the body."

Just as Bai Yuekui was talking to Yang Chen, Belenkov carried two newly built, heavy instruments toward Tasia.

"Alright, now that Mr. Yang is here, we can give it a try. Although these two devices are a bit rudimentary, the effect probably won't be that great." Belenkov placed the instruments on the left and right sides, one meter apart.

“Stand on this, and then try using your potential,” Belenkov said, pointing to the device on the left.

Tasia nodded and stepped onto it.

Belenkov turned and nodded to Bai Yuetian. Bai Yuetian's mechanical hand tapped the keyboard twice more. As Bai Yuetian pressed the start button, the instrument started up, and a pale blue halo shone on both devices.

Tasia's eyes were closed, and the essence of the source flowed around her body.

As the light grew stronger, Tasia disappeared from her spot and instantly appeared on another device.

"Whoa!" Bai Yuetian exclaimed in surprise, "I would call this move the Great Transformation of a Living Person."

Tasia rubbed her temples, as if her head was throbbing again.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chen immediately went over, and under the effect of the horse talisman, Tasia's condition quickly improved.

"It seems that this side effect is unavoidable." Xia Tianlai made a judgment after looking at the detected brain nerve state.

Belenkov nodded in agreement: "The equipment can alleviate the problem, but it cannot eliminate it completely."

"Moreover, the farther the transmission distance, the greater the side effects will likely be. Let's wait until the equipment is improved before trying it again."

"At least when we're teleported there, our body parts won't be scattered around," Bai Yuetian said.

Nanjixing glared at Bai Yuetian: "How dare you say that? You've scared Tasia."

"That's what I'm saying: you disrespectful brat, call me grandpa!"

Bai Yuetian jumped off the table and kicked Nanjixing's legs twice.

"With your skinny arms and legs, don't show off."
