Chapter 418: New Path or Wicked Way

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: New Path or Wicked Way

For Lu Xiao, he wasn’t very familiar with his own cultivation process after all, as it was all controlled by Xuanyuan Panshi.

Many things, many methods, he still couldn’t understand their significance to this day.

Therefore, instead of replicating them, it was better to arrange a new path for Yan Yun based on what he himself understood.

If Yan Yun could succeed, then perhaps the path beyond Super Tier might also emerge.

"You... what ideas do you have?" Liuli Hong’s voice trembled slightly.

"I only have a framework for now, the details haven’t been worked out yet. The main framework involves discarding the existing knowledge and structure, removing the concept of Inner Qi, and also doing away with the concept of meridians."

Liuli Hong: :-)??

Goodness, I thought you were just going to make some changes in the details or the flow of Inner Qi, but you’re actually flipping the whole table over.

If we discard the concepts of Inner Qi and meridians, then what’s the plan?

"Whether it’s Inner Qi or superpower, at their core, they are forms of energy."

"Whether it’s meridians or organs, their function is to contain energy."

"Since the organs of us Hua Country people cannot contain superpowers, then we should discard the organs and find a new container."

Liuli Hong roughly understood what Lu Xiao meant and shook his head lightly: "Impossible, we have tried, meridians cannot contain superpowers, Inner Qi also can’t enter the organs, there is almost a complete rejection."

"That means you haven’t tried hard enough, in my meridians now, half is Inner Qi and half is superpower." Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow lightly.

Liuli Hong’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Lu Xiao used his meridians to carry superpowers?

"Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier, is it universally applicable?" Liuli Hong immediately asked.

If meridians can contain superpowers, although it wouldn’t lead to a qualitative change, the strength and cultivation speed of Heavenly Man would definitely get a massive boost.

"Not sure, I don’t know, like you said, this is probably the path that my master arranged for me, I actually don’t understand the principle myself. But at least, Chen Fei won’t work." Lu Xiao shook his head.

Liuli Hong deflated like a punctured ball.

This won’t work, that won’t work, we Hua Country people really have it rough.

"So what did you mean just now?" Liuli Hong frowned again. Since Lu Xiao said he wanted to discard the concepts of Inner Qi and meridians, there must be some other ideas, otherwise there would be no way to cultivate.

"External plugin."

"What?" Liuli Hong’s face was full of confusion.

Lu Xiao didn’t waste words; he simply took out a Mutated Crystal that had been drained of energy.

Liuli Hong still didn’t understand.

"Since Mutated Crystals can contain energy, then we’d just put Mutated Crystals inside our bodies, that’s all," Lu Xiao shrugged and said.

"Lu Xiao, do you find it funny to joke around with me?" Liuli Hong rolled his eyes, "Once Mutated Crystals enter the body, they’ll just melt away."

"That’s because you don’t know how to play." Lu Xiao snorted and then used his Inner Qi to slice open his arm and forcibly stuffed the Mutated Crystal into the wound.

Within the wound, the Mutated Crystal remained intact, showing no sign of dissolving.

Liuli Hong felt chills run down his scalp.

Damn, this method seems a bit evil.

"But that’s still not right. Once a Mutated Crystal is separated from its original host it becomes a dead thing, the energy can only dissipate and cannot be absorbed, the process of dissipation is irreversible."

Liuli Hong had fully grasped Lu Xiao’s intent.

It was to install Mutated Crystals into the body and then use them to carry and release energy.

The idea was indeed good, but in principle, it still didn’t work.

"Perhaps, I can make the Mutated Crystals reabsorb energy."

Lu Xiao muttered softly, that body in the manor’s basement could do it.

Although that body was forged with Super Gold, it truly achieved a cycle.

The Mutated Crystals throughout that body, through some special method, formed a cycle of energy release and reabsorption.

"You plan to try this on Yan Yun?" Liuli Hong frowned slightly; he didn’t fancy Lu Xiao’s idea—it was odd, dangerous, and could even lead to more severe problems later.

To think, Mutated Crystals can only form inside a Fourth-stage Mutant.

If everyone starts chasing after this so-called external plugin, the killings among high-end forces will become very frequent.

The clashes among those high-end forces could potentially cause great social upheaval.

"Yes."

Liuli Hong said nothing; he didn’t know what to say.

He didn’t want Lu Xiao to go through with it, but he didn’t have a strong enough reason to convince him.

"I just have one question." After a few seconds, Liuli Hong looked up, his expression serious and grave.

"Go ahead."

"If you really succeed, and if the amount of these so-called external plugins can keep stacking up, what then? Are you going to kill Fourth-stage Mutants to obtain more Mutated Crystals?"

Facing Liuli Hong’s question, Lu Xiao’s mouth opened slightly, but he ultimately couldn’t provide an answer.

"Sometimes, the line between a new path and an evil path is just a matter of thought, think about it yourself." Liuli Hong said and then left the balcony, without taking a sip of his tea.

On the balcony, Lu Xiao fell into a long silence.

Liuli Hong’s question was very realistic.

Indeed, if this method succeeded, in pursuit of greater power, more Mutated Crystals would be needed for external plugins.

What to do when the Mutated Crystals on hand were insufficient?

Go kill? Go steal? Go dig them out alive from someone else’s body?
