Enter the Immortal Cultivation

This summer seemed particularly long.

The weather was hot and dry, and autumn seemed to have no sign of coming.

It seemed that they could not bear this long hot summer. Among the three ponies that Song Shufu had planted with the pathogen of the horse plague more than a hundred days ago, one of them finally fell ill.

This one was the one that had been planted with heated tissue fluid.

Then, as if it was some kind of signal, the remaining two sick horses also fell ill one after another.

Chen Feng witnessed the process with his own eyes and confirmed that there was no fraud.

So, Tianling Palace, which had already fallen into the quagmire of failure, half-deadly spent a batch of additional funds.

After receiving this fund, Song Shufu finally had the confidence to urge the Guiyi League to pay for the equipment.

Because...

He had bought on credit before.

"Money makes the devil work" may not be true in many cases, but under extreme conditions, "money makes the devil work" may be a true proposition.

So, the brand new Linglie tunnel scanning microscope was delivered immediately.

At the same time, there was also a master of the Guiyi League who was good at Tiangexing and had a special understanding of the ultraviolet field.

This master's theoretical level was only mediocre, but he was quite talented in the subtle control of magic power.

So, Song Shufu started a new round of empirical evidence.

But this time, Chen Feng did not participate.

First of all, his relationship with Song Shufu was somewhat strained after that quarrel. Song Shufu was determined not to admit his absurd idea, but he was unwilling to give up this idea.

But then again, Chen Feng did not have the ability to independently start another small project. Without Song Shufu's decades of accumulation, he could not easily produce results.

So, he simply avoided it and waited for the results to speak.

If Song Shufu's optical empirical evidence really proved that the minimum cross-sectional diameter of the plague of the corpse horse plague was much larger than ten nanometers, then this was his mistake. He went back to apologize.

And if it was the other way around, Song Shufu had no reason to insist on a wrong idea.

"But...how did they do it?"

Since it has been confirmed that the pathogen of the horse plague and the yellow crystal pathogen "may have the characteristics of going from the source of living beings to the source of living beings", it is necessary to carefully study why.

Among the existing yellow crystal pathogen samples, the "first sample" is attached with powerful immortal power - although this power is not even a residue for immortals, it is enough to hinder people's research - and other samples also carry the distorted products of the patient's magic power, which can still be said to be "magic effects".

However, the pathogen of the horse plague of the corpse refining undoubtedly does not have this effect - the spiritual power it carries is not significantly higher than the background spiritual environment. In other words, all these infectious effects are the effects of the horse plague of the corpse refining.

Even if the yellow crystal pathogen and the horse plague of the corpse refining pathogen have no kinship, even if the infectious effect of the yellow crystal pathogen is not based on the conventional physical property, but on the magic effect, they should have something in common in principle.

Or, to use Wang Qi's idea - after reducing most of the characteristics, they have similar "structures".

This must be a breakthrough.

The human race will once again approach the descendants of the Heavenly Family - even if the remaining distance is still out of reach.

And another reason is Ai Qinglan.

In the past half month, the evolution of Ai Qinglan's soul domain has become more and more active. According to Tianshengfeng, she will wake up soon.

In addition, according to the monitoring of the fetus in Ai Qinglan's belly, the slow development of this child has finally begun to accelerate and is approaching maturity.

I am afraid that the period of breaking through the Heavenly Gate and the period of delivery will be very close - it may even happen at the same time.

At this time, Chen Feng is absolutely unwilling to leave.

If the Evidence Department really can't leave, he really can't stay here with peace of mind, but who made the Evidence Department fall into trouble and he has another task openly?

These days, he stayed in Ai Qinglan's ward, reading and studying.

Song Shufu also knew that Chen Feng was preparing to welcome another stage in his life. After that argument, he didn't mean to let Chen Feng intervene in the specific evidence - and he didn't particularly like Chen Feng to participate in the evidence in his Evidence Department. In his opinion, this guy from Yangshen Pavilion is really an amateur.

Now, probably because of the face, he simply doesn't come - just right!

Since a batch of new instruments have been purchased and there is a deliberate investment, Song Shufu has recruited a few assistants with some skills.

Let alone the microscope, you can put any infected cells under it for observation and write a small paper.

For researchers who have just started, this benefit of "familiarity with advanced instruments" is very tempting.

With the latest instruments and recruiting more people, Song Shufu feels a little bit full of confidence.

However, just the next day, reality slapped him hard.

"No... any plague particles were found?"

"No host was found that was 'obviously not a cell structure'?"

"How is it possible?"

Yes, that's right, cells that have been infected with the pathogen of the horse plague will not find any structure similar to the plague - even if the plague is almost invisible, it should be invisible under this microscope.

But no.

There was no abnormal accumulation of any life essence.

Even in the brain tissue that had already turned to the sea surface, only a large amount of life essence condensed into fibers could be seen.

But the culprit that caused the fibrosis of the life essence could not be found.

"How is this possible? Is it a problem with the optical dyeing spell or the light source?"

"What about the unexplained shadows? What about the unexplained blank areas?"

The answer is... none of them.

No, no, no!

Nothing.

It was as if the rotten sponge-like brain had spontaneously become like this.

——Ten nanometers.

At this time, the data that Chen Feng had mentioned appeared in Song Shufu's mind like a ghost.

"No, it's impossible!" Song Shufu stood up: "Filter membrane! Filter membrane is needed!"

Song Shufu was in trouble, while Chen Feng made great progress.

The materials that Chen Feng studied included some textbooks and Ai Qinglan's notes.

Ai Qinglan's notes were defenseless against him.

Chen Feng did know the central law, but it was limited to the courses in the Immortal Academy and limited understanding. His field did not need to involve too much in this aspect. He didn't even learn pathology very well, and his knowledge in reverse transcription and gland-associated plague was just enough.

Although the cracking of the yellow crystal pathogen was a task assigned by the Immortal Alliance, it was also something that had to be completed.

Learning was indeed difficult.

Although it was just to walk the entry path again from a different angle - but, in the current immortal way, which real researcher has an easy entry.

Countless times, Chen Feng wanted to wake Ai Qinglan up and ask her questions like before.

However, there must be a response if you keep thinking about it. After hard study, Chen Feng also gained corresponding gains.

At least, through Ai Qinglan's notes, he realized another level of the way of life.

The central law is indeed so magical.

It can be said that this law is the core of the practice of some cultivators in Jiyin Valley, Shenwen Forest, Tiansheng Peak, and Guling Cliff - its importance is almost no less than the theory of evolution.

Just as "cells" unify the roots of animals and plants, "central dogma" unifies all living beings - it explains inheritance and expression, and reveals the fact that "the root of living beings lies in blood and soul".

It can be said that all living beings in the universe are placed in the same framework.

The material composition of the people of fire is very different from that of the people of earth, but they also have reproduction, inheritance, and "blood and soul".

And through Ai Qinglan's thoughts recorded on paper, Chen Feng also saw another world.

That is "living beings".

The development of individual living beings and the changes of the group have formed an obscure division in the entire Tianling Ridge - it has become two different ideas, representing two different living phenomena.

However, these two phenomena have the same core - inheritance.

Inheritance is the replication of blood and soul, individual growth and development is the expression of blood and soul, and evolution is the change of blood and soul.

And this extends to all areas of the way of living beings.

Parents and offspring, individuals and groups, oneself and the environment...

At the same time, when the concept of "spiritual resonance" was established, the way of living beings at this level changed.

Encoding, storage, editing, splicing, translation, copying, transcription, and retranslation...

These terms that originally belonged to the Wanfa Gate and Qianji Pavilion - even the most cutting-edge terms that belonged to the Wanfa Gate and Qianji Pavilion, were suddenly widely discussed in Jiyin Valley.

"Living beings" and "machines" finally gained "similarities" at a certain level.

At this point, the solid theoretical palace of the way of living beings has truly stood up.

When the palace of the way of calculation collapsed twice and the palace of the way of heavenly flow collapsed once or twice, the palace of the way of living beings finally got rid of the image of "mirage".

It is not a mysterious thought, nor a speculation, but a unified system based on empirical evidence and explained in the language of logic.

Since I entered the Tao, all I have learned and thought about have suddenly been unified as never before.

"Before, you were only focusing on the structure of the neural network, and had no time to think about the wider world?"

Chen Feng closed his eyes, thinking.

In his mind, many fields of the Way of Life were meshed together like gears, driving each other.

And at this moment, his breath was also round and perfect.

"The Yuanshen Heaven Gate is just a layer of window paper for me, right? Find a time, and you can break through it by retreating for a while."

He looked at Ai Qinglan and smiled: "Well, it seems that I will really surpass you, Sister Lan."

At this moment, Ai Qinglan's body was radiant.

As if in response to Chen Feng's joke, the milky white light permeated the space.

Chen Feng called the masters of Tiansheng Peak without hesitation.
