Full-time monk: I am the prophet of civilization!

Hard work pays off, and after spending an entire night, Lin Fan finally succeeded in breaking through.

'However, this Mind Stone is now completely used up...'

Looking into my palm, I saw the once lustrous and translucent stone.

Now it has turned gray and white, as if it had been completely burned out.

The Mind Stone, which Dean Xiao and Old Man Bao gave him as a bet, did indeed help Lin Fan improve his mental strength considerably.

It can be said that without this stone of remembrance...

Back in Yantai, Lin Fan probably didn't break through to the fourth level of mental strength so quickly.

They don't even have the mental strength they have now at the mid-stage of level four.

It's important to know that in the original timeline, Ai Jiangtu, the captain of the Nationalist team, was in his early twenties during the finals and only had level four mental strength...

It's a pity that there are still too few recitation stones...

Lin Fan had also used his [World Library] talent to search for traces of the Nian Shi vein.

But the mineral veins he found were either in the deep sea or in imperial territory, which were not areas they could mine at present...

But that's understandable, considering how many hunters searched for the Nian Stone Mine when it was depleted.

If it hadn't been hidden well enough and wasn't dangerous enough, it would have been discovered long ago...

……

Composing himself, Lin Fan kept his promise and took Lingling with him to Dean Xiao's secret base.

Compared to a month ago when only the Red Devils were imprisoned.

The secret base had by then changed completely.

Two- or three-story laboratories rose from the ground and stood tall in the valley, like ever-shining beacons of civilization.

Judging from its silvery metallic material, it appears to be the same material as the three-step tower of Pearl Academy...

"Old Xiao, tell me, how much did you embezzle during the construction of the Three-Step Tower...?"

Old Bao jokingly put his arm around Dean Xiao's shoulder.

Dean Xiao responded humorously.

"Not many, maybe enough to build another seventeen or eighteen bases..."

The two old rascals' words made Lingling and Lin Fan, who were standing nearby, burst out laughing.

The fact that this secret base in the valley has reached its current size is certainly not due to Dean Xiao's greed.

Instead, it was jointly funded and built by Speaker Shao Zheng, Old Man Bao, and others.

Following the donation from the Zhao family, the procurement of many instruments, equipment, and materials has been accelerated and will be delivered in the next few days.

Even now, you can still see many Buddhist monks carrying out the distribution of tannins.

These guardian monks were naturally sent by Lü Huan, Hua Zhanhong, and others.

Within the valley alone, there are hundreds of mid- to high-level guardian mages taking turns to guard it.

A military base was built directly outside the valley, where thousands of guardian mages train and stand guard.

In addition, there's the kind of restriction that Dean Xiao set up here...

The importance attached to the secret base of the fishery is evident.

After all, this place will be the research and development base for important projects such as the demon army, fusion magic, and magical energy technology, so strict control is justified.

"Dean Xiao, how is the Red Devils doing now? And what about Professor Feng Zhoulong and the others I mentioned earlier..."

After giving a brief look around, Lin Fan got straight to the point.

"Hehe, you'll see when you see it."

Dean Xiao smiled and kept them in suspense before leading Lin Fan and Lingling to the Red Demon's detention cell.

No, it's less of a detention cell and more of a laboratory...

Instead of being imprisoned, the Red Devil was sitting cross-legged in the center of the laboratory.

Around it, dozens of researchers observed, drew blood, and examined it...

"The third blood draw for the light element irradiation experiment is complete. The blood is being sent for testing..."

An elderly man with gray hair handed a blood sample to a researcher.

He then asked the Red Devil, who was being used as a test subject.

"Yiqiu, how are you feeling now?"

"Hmm, not bad, it feels like sunbathing."

Red Devil stretched comfortably in the autumn, and even rolled over like a salted fish to make the sunlight more even.

"Okay, record it."

"Light element force irradiation experiment, intensity level 1 (medium), the target sensation is sunbathing..."

When the researchers were recording their findings, Red Devil even added a meticulously worded comment.

"It's the kind of weaker sunbathing."

Even Lin Fan was somewhat amazed by the harmonious scene between the experimental subjects and researchers.

Lingling, the little girl, was completely dumbfounded, feeling as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"Lin Fan, Lin Fan, is this guy really the Supreme Monarch who almost killed Dad? How come..."

"...Like harmless salted fish?"

Although Lingling didn't finish speaking, Lin Fan could guess what she wanted to say.

"Ah."

Lingling nodded, looking curious.

"Perhaps it's because he has a new pursuit..."

In the original timeline, Red Demon Ichiki was able to disguise himself as a normal person for over ten years in order to collect all eight soul fragments and transform someone into the Evil Saint King.

Now, for the sake of the demon legion plan that Lin Fan mentioned, he can naturally let others study it.

Moreover, it's quite interesting that Red Devil is being studied by top researchers from the East.

"Hey, Lin Fan, you're finally back?"

The arrival of Lin Fan and Lingling could not be kept secret from the Red Demon.

Sure enough, Red Devil, still on the experimental platform, smiled and waved to Lin Fan under the bright light.

Manchester United's reaction also caught the attention of researchers.

"Lin Fan? You're Lin Fan?"

The elderly man who had previously led the experiment walked up and asked with some surprise.

Although both Red Devil and Dean Xiao have said that Lin Fan, who proposed the Demon Legion plan, is a young man.

But the old man clearly did not expect that Lin Fan was only about 16 years old.

"Yes, I am Lin Fan. Hello, Professor Guo."

With his talent for the World Library, it was quite easy for Lin Fan to learn Professor Guo's identity.

Professor Guo is a renowned research expert in Donghuang, specializing in the study of black magic and white magic.

At the same time, he is also Guo Liyu's uncle, who helped Lin Fan awaken his magic.

He currently serves as the chief researcher for the Demon Legion project.

"Okay, okay, take a look at these."

Professor Guo didn't waste any words and directly handed Lin Fan the experimental data he had collected over the past few days.

He then began to explain.

"These past few days, we've conducted power fusion tests, compatibility tests, and elemental resistance tests on Yi Qiu..."

"The dark power transformation device you proposed has made some progress..."

"There are a few issues that need to be resolved... a sufficient source of dark power, and the filtration of dark power..."

Chapter 41 Q&A

Professor Guo explained, and all the technical challenges were listed out.

The most important point is the source of the dark power supply for the demon legion.

If it were like the research of the Demonic faction in the original timeline, the user could directly obtain the power of the Dark Dimension through their physical body.

Therefore, once the demonic power within the user fades, the user must repay this price with their essence (soul).

But this clearly goes against Lin Fan's idea of ​​getting the Dark Dimension for free.

But if we don't use this method, why would the Dark Dimension give power to users?

That's the problem.

Lin Fan was naturally prepared for this and spoke confidently.

"Professor Guo, there is no need to worry. I have a solution for this. It will be resolved in a few days."

Professor Guo raised his white eyebrows, but did not delve into the matter further. Instead, he brought up the second question.

"Although the dark forces have been filtered through the blood and venom of a autumn, negative emotions have been reduced to a minimum."

"But that negative emotion was still so great that it was enough to crush the mental will of an ordinary high-ranking monk."

These terrifying negative emotions cannot be overcome simply by having a strong will.

Because it's like a magical poison that directly alters a person's soul structure and disrupts the user's mental universe.

Not everyone is like Lin Fan and Mo Fan, who are born with dual systems, possessing powerful souls and protection at the same time.

Under this direct and chaotic mental universe, a malicious invasion akin to being on drugs.

Ordinary high-level monks would go mad in less than ten minutes.

"This problem should be solved by using Qingming Powder and Qingxin Formula..."

As Lin Fan spoke, he drew the formula for the Qingming Powder, the method for making the Tranquilizing Magic Tool, and a mental cultivation technique called the Qingxin Jue on a piece of paper.

Throughout its five-thousand-year history, Donghuang has produced countless talented and extraordinary individuals.

Just like Lin Fan was able to extract the cultivation methods of those who suffered spiritual disasters.

There are already exceptionally talented individuals who have developed methods to deal with negative emotions.

In the original timeline, Mo Fan went to Mount Hua to cultivate himself and restore his cultivation after the ancient capital was corrupted by demons.

This is a method of dealing with negative emotions passed down from the Eastern Empire.

However, it can only deal with the residual negative emotions after demonization, and does not meet the requirements of the demon army to resist negative emotions.

But since there are ways to deal with the aftereffects, naturally some people have also developed ways to resist negative emotions.

Using negative emotions as an index, Lin Fan quickly found relevant information from the origin of the world.

Furthermore, for added security.

Lin Fan made corresponding preparations in various aspects, including medicine, magical artifacts, and cultivation techniques.

As they watched Lin Fan swiftly write down various pieces of knowledge, Professor Guo and the other researchers' eyes gradually lit up.

A leading figure in the field of fish and juicy fish.

Whether this knowledge is useful or not, you can basically tell at a glance.

This led to a shift in attitude from initial curiosity to admiration and respect.

"I never expected that Lin Fan, at your age, would know so much. You are truly a promising young man..."

After arranging for people to test the effects of Qingming Powder and Qingxin Jue, Professor Guo couldn't help but sincerely praise them.

In normal times, a person in their thirties or forties who can master any one of the following skills—alchemy, magic tool making, or martial arts techniques—would be considered a remarkable genius.
