Enter the Immortal Cultivation

Swallowing alien creatures is really a technical job, and it requires a very high level of technology.

In addition to directly extracting spiritual power or transforming matter by magic, all energy transfer and absorption are determined by changes in physical properties at the molecular level. Therefore, what a creature can eat and what it cannot eat is actually determined from the beginning.

Even if the properties of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen determine that sugars, creature source materials, and lipids in the entire universe have similar structures, the probability of you encountering species that can be digested on other planets is very low.

Because digestion and absorption are ultimately based on the enzyme system. And enzymes are highly selective substances. An enzyme can only digest one or several substances.

For creatures, "preparing an enzyme for common organic matter in the living environment" is much more efficient than "preparing many kinds of enzymes to ensure that any substance can be digested."

Even if you really encounter sugars with a similar structure to the creatures on your home planet, you still have to consider chirality, isotopes, and other factors.

If one of them is wrong, the substances you encounter cannot be absorbed by your body, but will cause disorder of the physiological system.

The so-called legend of "immortals do not eat worldly fireworks" actually comes from this in most cases.

It is really not easy for immortals to find a bite to eat after leaving their home planet. Fortunately, immortals will not die without eating, otherwise the cause of death of immortals in this universe would most likely be "starved to death".

The characteristic of "no need to eat" not only makes immortals out of social production, but also ensures that immortals will not starve to death after leaving their home planet.

——It must be said that when the Great Sage of Heaven and Man designed the Nascent Soul Method, he really considered all aspects.

And those who can eat alien organic matter at will like the dragons, and can eat it with relish, are mostly trained.

Whether it is creating digestive enzymes or flipping chirality, they can do it.

In other words... without the level of the dragons, it is really difficult to do this.

Wang Qi does not think that the population that quickly died in a high-spirit mass extinction can be comparable to the dragons.

That is to say...

"Pula is not a native of this planet!"

When Wang Qi thought of this, his eyes lit up. He had many bold plans in an instant.

Of course, it was just a thought. He, Wang Qi, was not a murderer, and this time he was not going to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, so there was no need to drive the beast machine to descend on Bingliu Green Star.

However, Pula is not a native, which means a certain moral shackle... ahem.

In short, Pula is not a native, which has led to some new problems.

For example...

"Will immortals also have parasites?"

Wang Qi knew that alien immortals also had the means of "gu" to refine poisonous insects into magic tools and clones. However, since it is to refine gu, it means that there is no need to stick to the species on one's own home planet. The gu worms held by an immortal may not be from his own home planet.

What's more, "gu worms" are really weak in the immortal realm. There is no evidence that a biological poison can be effective across the biosphere. The possibility that the poison of silicon-based organisms is effective against carbon-based organisms is extremely small - in this case, "no reaction" is the norm, and "physical damage to blood vessels" may be the greatest result that can be achieved by using biological poisons across the biosphere.

This method is really rare.

Therefore, Wang Qi's first suspect is "parasites".

But this is really a bit... nonsense.

Because immortals are strong and their non-specific immunity is almost infinite. It is hard to imagine that any parasite antigens can survive in the body of an immortal. Even if the parasite is really born not to stimulate the immune function of the species to which the immortal belongs... For such a large target, the immortal can just crush it in the body with his immortal power, right?

However, the report in Wang Qi's hand has already attached an analysis. The analysis puts forward another conjecture - symbionts.

In Shenzhou, many creatures form a symbiotic relationship with micro-creatures.

After the baby elephant is born, it will eat the feces of its parents. This is often the first meal for the cubs. This phenomenon is not only common in elephants, but also in other herbivores such as pandas, hippos, horses, and some lizards.

This is because many animals need the help of symbiotic bacteria in their intestines to digest food. Newborn cubs lack these bacteria in their intestines, so they need to obtain them from their parents' feces.

The same is true for humans - except that babies do not need to rely on eating feces to obtain these bacteria.

Scraping the intestines of humans can scrape out one kilogram of symbiotic bacteria, which is a full 10 trillion bacteria.

These bacteria also affect the health of the human body.

In a broad sense... In fact, mitochondria are also creatures that coexist with us.

When practicing, it is indeed an interesting topic to know in which direction these symbiotic bodies will be strengthened.

You must know that the intestinal flora is different from mitochondria or parasites. According to the biological definition, "intestines" can be considered "outside the body". In the "topological isomorphism between humans and focal circles", the "eye" on humans refers to the "intestines".

The Nascent Soul Method of ascending to immortality can indeed cultivate a flawless body, and make the body as hard as a piece of iron, but what about the intestines, which are strictly "outside the body" but are closely related to human life?

Tiansheng Peak and Lingshou Mountain both have special research groups that study the impact of an individual's improvement in cultivation on other creatures that have a symbiotic relationship with him.

For example... after the human race became immortal, did the symbiotic flora in the intestines get synchronously strengthened or did it remain unchanged? If it was strengthened, to what extent could this strengthening be achieved?

In fact, this is still a very serious topic. This involves two very cutting-edge concepts: first, the definition of "inside" and "outside", and where is the boundary between "self" and "others"; second, how does the Yuanying method transform ordinary things into great things.

According to limited information and the natural demonization of creatures in modern times, many monsters can refine parasites into things like poisonous insects. This kind of magical power is naturally generated during the practice process. Many whales can refine whale lice and barnacles on their bodies into Taoist soldiers and magic tools.

Some people speculate that the intestinal flora may also be in this situation. It's just that I didn't realize that there was such a force in my body before.

It is said that Tianlingling has even developed a method to refine the intestinal flora into Taoist soldiers or magic tools, which can be said to be a soldier made of shit, and an army when you stick your butt out. Unfortunately, so far, no living being has chosen to practice this method. Generally, for a spell to enter the "Exchange Sequence", it must go through at least three phases of verification to prove its effectiveness and harmlessness [meaning harmless to the practitioner], and this method has been stuck in the first phase and cannot recruit volunteers at all.

And there is speculation that Pula's ancestors may also be of similar nature.

"Interesting... Because they are in a symbiotic relationship, the magic power of the dead immortal is defenseless against them. And they can bypass the natural defense mechanism of the immortal power and digest the immortal's body because of this relationship."

"So that's it... It makes sense."

"Because they are in a symbiotic relationship, they will not be killed by the high-level extinction at the beginning-during the immortal's cultivation process, Pula's ancestors have gradually adapted to the immortal's immortal power and become a part of the immortal power. But it is also because of the immortal power that these guys with powerful spiritual power can't get their own spiritual wisdom."

"And when the immortal died for some reason, the self in the immortal power was erased... These Pula's ancestors finally had the opportunity to get their 'self'."

"Refer to the experience underground... Although the self in the immortal power was completely erased, there may be residual spiritual fragments. These fragments made Pula enlightened and civilized."

Wang Qi pondered for a moment. He couldn't help but start thinking about a question.

Among the immortals, he is not weak. If Wang Qi kneels, then the symbiotic bacteria community in his intestines will...

"Oh my god, whether it's the dung slime monster or the mushroom man, it seems to be quite destructive to one's worldview."

"So... if my body kneels on an alien planet in the future... it's better to cremate it completely."

After driving these destructive thoughts out of his mind, Wang Qi stood up.

"This conjecture can solve many problems."

"In this way, the operation of sneaking into Pula can begin."

A few minutes later, Wang Qi's brain far away on the green star also realized this.

So, the white flame of life soared into the sky.

Affected by this fierce negative entropy, the ownerless immortal power rolled violently, as if some powerful ghost was about to rush out of this immortal power. In the sky, spiritual light overflowed.

The magic circle set up by Wang Qi in danger diverted the turbulent power one by one, ensuring that his work of fabricating an incarnation could be completed smoothly. His own power, like mercury, spread around, dispelling the ownerless immortal power while building a protective method to isolate the mysterious Tianjue species from spying at any time.

A moment later, a fist-sized pink fleshworm fell to the ground. Wang Qi's soul shook, and a strand of soul entered it.

The young Pula was very fragile. There was no hard shell on his body. The chelicerae were just ordinary muscle tentacles, and even the eyes did not look grown.

Since the adult was not directly made of cells, but cultivated from embryos, Wang Qi did not get the adult directly.

However, for a person who has mastered the shapeshifting method and can command somatic cells to differentiate at will, "growth" is really a very simple thing.

As long as there is food, it's fine.

"Yes, that's right. And this place happens to have the food that Pula likes very much."

Wang Qi smiled with satisfaction.

"Although this kind of mushroom block is very unpalatable in the mouths of humans, I remember that those Pula regarded it as delicious and even gave it to me."

"In other words, this is the nutrition for the rapid growth of my physical body."

Wang Qi directly took the mushroom block out of the soil and put it into the mouth of the clone.

After a long time, a nauseous sigh came from the wilderness: "Ugh..."
