Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

Upon seeing Bai Zhaoli arrive, the others quickly dispersed, giving Jiang Lang a "good luck" look as they left.

After everyone had left.

Bai Zhaoli then asked, "Aren't you worried?"

"Why should I panic?"

Jiang Lang was completely baffled.

A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Bai Zhaoli's eyes, then she pouted her pink lips: "See! This is your problem. You're not getting into character at all. How can you expect others to believe you?"

Jiang Lang sat down next to her casually: "Don't you do anything besides acting? Can't you do something productive? You just got back to school and you're already skipping class again?"

Bai Zhaoli snorted: "Isn't it because I'm loyal? You're in trouble, so of course I have to help you sort it out without hesitation! Besides, Qin Wei already called me, if I don't come, wouldn't it seem like I'm being fake?"

Jiang Lang thought for a moment and said, "That seems to make sense! But this is getting rather troublesome. Let's find a chance to 'break up' as soon as possible!"

"Jiang Lang, you..."

Bai Zhaoli's eyes widened, then she waved her hand impatiently: "Search, search, search! Just like I don't want to search."

After saying that, he lay down on the sofa and started playing on his phone.

Jiang Lang scratched his head. Why the hell are you angry?

Forget about her, let's go watch the Ghost Eye martial arts competition!

He stood up, ready to leave.

Bai Zhaoli called out to him again: "What happened today has nothing to do with you, right? The Wild Department is going crazy."

"That has nothing to do with me. I don't have that kind of ability."

"Your attitude is very suspicious!"

"Anyway, I'm not the murderer, and they can't cause me any trouble. Let them play by themselves!"

"Oh……"

Bai Zhaoli seemed lost in thought. She didn't know whether she should believe Jiang Lang or not. She only knew that she really hoped that Jiang Lang was the one who did it. She desperately wanted Jiang Lang to be someone who loved killing and arson.

Seeing Jiang Lang about to slip away, she quickly stood up: "Where are you going? Wait for me!"

She took two quick steps and soon reached the corridor, just in time to see the laboratory door being pushed open.

"Senior Brother Jiang, Teacher Su has made a new discovery and is calling for you... Hey? Sister, what are you doing here every day?"

"What's it to you?"

Bai Zhaoli rolled her eyes at Xu Yanzhi, then pushed Jiang Lang's back towards the laboratory: "Let me see what new discoveries we've made."

Jiang Lang was also a little excited. Normally, he doesn't participate in scientific research, so Su Yunchang calling him was most likely because of the banyan fruit.

"Xiao Jiang, come here!"

Su Yunchang's gray hair was a little messy, but he was all smiles, clearly indicating that he had encountered something happy.

"Why!"

Jiang Lang went closer and saw that there was only a petri dish on the table, with a wisp of vine inside.

Upon closer inspection, the vines were actually wriggling gently, just like earthworms.

Seemingly sensing the approach of the river waves, it suddenly became excited and desperately tried to wriggle towards this side, but the range of motion was too small, so it could only remain in place like a useless husband.

Jiang Lang was suddenly overjoyed: "This is... nourished with my blood?"

"What else?"

Su Yunchang picked up his teacup, took a sip of the cool tea, and then spat the tea leaves back out with a "puff puff puff" sound. He then patted Xu Yanzhi on the shoulder triumphantly.

Xu Yanzhi understood and calmly explained, "After we got your blood last time, we used it to cultivate plants, but there was no reaction. We wondered if the plants' spiritual energy level was insufficient, so we found a Seven Emotions Vine and induced the progenitor cells in reverse, and that's what you see here."

The Seven Emotions Vine has 'come back to life,' exhibiting stress responses typical of many animals, but it has also lost its leaves and its root system has degenerated. It can only draw nutrients and radiation from blood—more precisely, only your blood.

"Oh, this..."

Jiang Lang frowned slightly: "Turn into a parasite?"

Xu Yanzhi nodded: "Theoretically, it's very close, but it's not all bad. We did a rough test, and the toughness of these vines has increased by about three times, and the spiritual fluctuations on the surface have increased even more, and there is a trend of continued improvement. This is definitely a very strong evolution."

Jiang Lang wasn't happy at all: "With the little bit of Spica radiation in my body, wouldn't it be a waste to give it to him?"

Cultivators can slowly capture the decay wave radiation emanating from the surroundings to replenish their own consumption. It's not that they can't do without the radiation chamber, but the speed is very slow after all.

Combat is a process of rapid attrition, and this drop in the ocean is simply not enough.

Therefore, we must convert limited radiation into the strongest possible combat power.

He didn't think that a mere wooden dragon could be more useful than himself.

"Normally speaking, it would definitely be a waste."

Xu Yanzhi grinned.

Jiang Lang raised an eyebrow: "What if that's not normal?"

Xu Yanzhi glanced at Bai Zhaoli, a hint of jealousy in his expression: "Senior brother, have you ever heard of wood marrow?"

pith?

Jiang Lang had indeed heard of it. Simply put, pith is a product of the evolution of the root system of extraordinary plants.

After all, they are extraordinary beings that have developed consciousness, and they don't want to stay in one place for their entire lives, but the root system confines them, so the root system that can be inserted and pulled out at will becomes their goal.

Finally, it becomes pith, something that has almost no physical form.

A single thought can instantly unleash a network of roots, drawing nourishment and radiation from the atmosphere and the earth.

It can be said to be quite extraordinary.

Of course, cultivating wood marrow is also very difficult.

Major general level is the threshold; those below major general level shouldn't even think about it, and even among generals, less than half can cultivate the wood marrow.

Jiang Lang said with a blank expression, "You wouldn't be thinking of getting a piece of wood marrow and transplanting it into my body, would you?"

"I have that idea."

Xu Yanzhi nodded: "If we can transplant a piece of wood marrow into your body, then you won't have to worry about not having enough Horned Star radiation in the future. Moreover, the parasitic wood dragon's dependence on you will increase, so you won't have to worry about betraying you at all."

If you can eventually raise a wooden dragon, your strength will definitely experience a qualitative leap.

Jiang Lang grinned, "Perfect! Then tell me, where does the pith come from?"

Forget about extracting the marrow from the living tree. All the extraordinary beings in the Azure Vein Domain have now submitted to the Azure Vein Domain Lord... There's no way such a short-sighted thing would happen here.

Relying on war probably won't work either, as the Azure Vein Domain hasn't engaged in warfare for many years.

Then we can only rely on the inventory. During the process of unifying the Azure Vein Domain, many powerful people died, so there must be some wood marrow inventory, but its value is self-evident.

Xu Yanzhi, once he opens his mouth, starts rambling and doesn't consider the practical difficulties.

They've been out of touch with reality for far too long; they're clearly raised in a greenhouse...

"It came from her!"

Xu Yanzhi pointed at Bai Zhaoli: "My uncle has such a good relationship with the Qingmai Domain, maybe he's got something?"

Jiang Lang: "Huh?"

Bai Zhaoli was taken aback for a moment: "Maybe it really exists, but this thing is far too valuable; I have no reason to want it!"

Xu Yanzhi: "Senior brother, you're my uncle's future son-in-law, aren't you going to give me any dowry?"

Jiang Lang: "Huh?"

Bai Zhaoli: "Huh?"
