I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 88: Harvest and Initial Exploration

Inside Lin Chen's Cave Mansion in Azure Cloud Sect.

Lin Chen was unaware of the impending danger, after all, he did not possess the ability to foresee the future.

His current focus was on dealing with the Jiangcheng incident, but...

"Azure Cloud Sect actually handled this matter so casually?" It had been three days since the Jiangcheng incident.

Lin Chen had already prepared himself for the investigation.

According to his intelligence, Azure Cloud Sect possessed a unique spiritual plant called "Qu Yi Cao," which could discern the truthfulness of people's words. The Law Enforcement Hall often used this item to investigate incidents.

Although Lin Chen was unclear about its principles, it did not mean that he had no way to deal with it.

His plan was to only tell partial truths and then use these partial truths to mislead others.

As long as he explained that he was not in the city when the incident occurred, it would disrupt their judgment.

However, he did not expect that the higher-ups would only send disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall to ask him if he had seen the scene of the Jiangcheng incident.

He truthfully answered that he was outside the city that day and saw a meteor streak across the sky. The other party nodded and left directly.

The matter was resolved so simply, which puzzled Lin Chen.

What he didn't know was that in the eyes of the higher-ups in Azure Cloud Sect, an entire city had been wiped out, let alone a Qi Refining Stage disciple like Lin Chen. It was impossible for him to be in the city at that time.

And how could he possibly know what happened inside the city when he was outside?

No one expected that Lin Chen would see the truth of the matter through the illusion in his memory.

Of course, the key point was that the higher-ups of Azure Cloud Sect were not willing to investigate further because even if they discovered the truth, not only would they be unable to resolve it, but it could also bring unknown risks.

Therefore, the Jiangcheng incident became a top-secret file of Azure Cloud Sect and was completely sealed.

Lin Chen was unaware of this, but he also didn't want to pursue it further. After all, the matter had already passed, and he had more important things to deal with.

Firstly, he anonymously reported to the higher-ups about the potential problems with some disciples returning to the sect.

After all, these problematic disciples were from the outer and even inner sects. If something really happened, he would probably have a lot of trouble.

He didn't want to eliminate this hidden danger, but the problem was that without any contact or research, he didn't know which returning disciples had problems.

If he could catch two of them and study them, perhaps he could detect the issues, but he was not a member of the Law Enforcement Hall and did not have the authority.

"I can only hope that the higher-ups of the sect will notice it in time!"

Secondly, he turned his attention to the inheritance he received from the Lin family.

Tens of thousands of spirit stones, numerous spiritual objects, and various types of techniques.

After inspecting them, Lin Chen found that most of them were things he had already possessed, without any surprises or noteworthy items.

"Well, it's impossible to have surprises in every harvest." Lin Chen pondered for a moment and quickly calmed down.

Then, he shifted his focus to the body and soul within him.

He could clearly sense that in various parts of his body, there were soul shadows flickering, regulating the movements of his organs.

This thing was unexpectedly condensed by him, and he was truly unaware of its essence and function.

"Forget it, let's first investigate its phenomenon and then study its application." Lin Chen thought for a moment and made a decision.

After careful observation, Lin Chen made a discovery.

In his perception, the body and soul in various parts of his body were constantly transmitting soul fluctuations through the meridians.

And these soul fluctuations ultimately converged onto the body and soul above the brain, namely the Violet Palace. After receiving them, the Violet Palace also emitted fluctuations that affected the brain.

Under its influence, the brain also affected various parts of the body, allowing them to release substances, absorb spiritual energy, and heal injuries.

This gave Lin Chen the feeling that it was like a system constantly collecting external information and self-regulating based on the environment!

"Self-regulating the body, huh..." Lin Chen pondered for a moment. "It seems like it's more than just that. This body can actually resonate with my soul. So, I should be able to..."

Seemingly having thought of something, Lin Chen's eyes flickered, and he began forming hand seals.

In this world of cultivation, the tricks of the Qi Refining Stage rely on the utilization of True Qi within the body, with limited power.

On the other hand, the spiritual arts of the Foundation Building Stage allow cultivators to forcefully incorporate the spiritual energy in the air into their Spirit Construction technique, greatly enhancing their power.

Regardless of which stage, chanting incantations or forming hand seals is necessary to continuously fluctuate the power of the soul in a certain pattern, forming a unique soul power with distinctive fluctuations.

Then, by mobilizing the True Qi within the body, it circulates through the meridians according to a certain route, ultimately merging with the soul power to form techniques like fireballs.

Those who are skilled don't need to chant incantations or form hand seals; they can directly emit soul fluctuations to perform tricks or spiritual arts.

And Lin Chen was just like that.

However, at this moment, after the soul in his Violet Palace emitted fluctuations, the body's organs also followed the main soul's operation, emitting the same fluctuations. The mist-like True Qi within his body rapidly consumed itself, finally forming several fireballs in front of Lin Chen.

"Can only form a few fireballs? Similar to the Five Fireball Sect?" Lin Chen frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.

Then, he reached out his hand and was surprised to find that he could control these fireballs effortlessly.

Under Lin Chen's control, the several fireballs condensed into one huge fireball, then continuously shrank, changing from orange-red to golden-yellow, and finally into a pale color.

Lin Chen casually threw it towards the puppet for practicing techniques, then his figure flashed.

Boom!

The terrifying explosion instantly startled the birds in the nearby forest.

And the puppet, which could withstand attacks from the Qi Refining Late Stage, shattered into pieces in front of Lin Chen.

"The power is more than ten times that of a normal fireball, and the land hit by the fireball has hardened."

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then mobilized the True Qi within his body once again.

The mist-like True Qi within his body is a mixture of water, fire, and earth spiritual energy. Every time he performs the fireball technique, the fire attribute True Qi is inevitably mixed with the other two True Qi.

But now, with the help of his body's soul, he successfully mobilized the purest water attribute True Qi, condensing it into a one-meter-high water sphere.

Lin Chen continuously compressed the water sphere, and the body's soul released soul power, merging with every strand of water spiritual energy.

The spiritual pressure, soul power, and water spiritual energy continuously blended, filling every gap, until the huge water sphere turned into a tiny water droplet.

He gently flicked the water droplet, and it disappeared instantly.

Lin Chen followed the residual soul perception on the water droplet and moved forward.

Within a hundred meters, everything blocking the path of the water droplet, whether it was an inanimate object or a living being, had a small hole of the same size.

"I couldn't achieve this before, but after the birth of my body's soul, my control over soul power has become more refined."

"I can use soul power to firmly bind every strand of water attribute True Qi within my body and expel other types of spiritual energy..."

"And this highly compressed water spiritual energy unexpectedly possesses such penetrating power."

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Chen couldn't help but think of the spiritual needle he obtained last time, which had the [Breaking Technique] attribute.

"Highly condensed water spiritual energy repels other spiritual energy, even objects. Is this what they call the [Breaking Technique] attribute in this world? It does bear some resemblance to a certain kind of advanced technology from my previous life..."

But Lin Chen didn't dwell on it and instead focused on the present.

He could now basically determine that the body's soul was more like a clone formed under the influence of the main soul.

Not only does it collect various information and feedback it to the Violet Palace, but it can also coordinate the actions of his main soul.

In terms of scientific terms from his previous life, the relationship between the main soul and the body's soul feels like the main brain and auxiliary brain of an octopus.

One is responsible for overall control and issuing commands, while the other is responsible for collecting and storing information. Both are memory units, with the latter coordinating the operation of the former.

So, the question is, how should he use this thing?
