“Then how should we test it?” Iselin was a bit confused, not knowing what Li Cheng颐 wanted to do.

“It’s simple.” Li Cheng颐 stared at the figure that was slowly turning its head.

“Since we can touch it, let’s gather some materials first.”

He slowly approached it from behind.

With a golden sword in each hand, he casually picked up a water cup from the side with his other hand.

“I’ll try to draw some blood first.”

“…” Iselin stared dumbfounded as Li Cheng颐 stabbed a sword into the figure's back.

Hiss.

The tip of the sword tore through the white dress, revealing the fair skin underneath. But the skin was exceptionally tough, as if it couldn't be cut at all.

The tip of the sword created a trail of sparks on it, unable to draw any blood.

“The skin can’t even be cut… Then what about the hair?”

Li Cheng颐 then began to try cutting the hair.

Amidst the intense sizzling sound of friction, he finally cut off a small tuft of hair and put it in the water cup.

“Next is to examine her physiological structure.”

Li Cheng颐 sized up the figure from behind, pondering for a moment.

The golden swords in his hands dissipated, then re-condensed, forming a tiny sword blade only the thickness of a finger.

Then he grasped the blade.

“Wait! Brother, you’re not going to!?” Iselin's terrified voice came.

“What? It’s not human anyway. We can’t look at it with human concepts. We should treat it as an object, an item, and look at it from an experimental perspective,” Li Cheng颐 said seriously.

“But you can’t do that! That’s too perverted!?” Iselin couldn't accept it.

“It’s just a test, it’s no big deal. Don’t worry.” Li Cheng颐 looked at the golden sword and felt it might be too thick, so he switched to a thinner one.

“Brother…”

Chih.

The golden sword pierced in.

It pierced into the figure’s head from one ear.

Then, bizarrely, it came out from the other ear.

“The ear canals are straight through?” Li Cheng颐 originally intended to draw some blood from the ear, but he didn't expect that the figure’s ears were just decorative.

Iselin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't what she had imagined…

During the figure's duration, Li Cheng颐 repeatedly performed various tests.

Because he entered through a flash, he finally broke free from the dead corner at the thirty-second minute, and the woman disappeared.

He also returned to the isolated glass room.

“Da Xiong, here are the samples I just obtained from the one facing away. Take them to see if you can analyze them.”

Walking out of the glass room, he quickly handed the things in his hand to Da Xiong.

“This is really… from the one facing away?” Da Xiong said in shock.

From an external perspective, they could only see that Li Cheng颐 disappeared with the old man for a while, and then when he reappeared, he was alone and holding a cup.

The old man was nowhere to be found.

“I’m sure it’s real, be careful, you can feel the weight.”

Li Cheng颐 handed the cup to Da Xiong.

The latter took it and weighed the seemingly empty cup, and indeed felt some weight.

Immediately, her expression became serious.

Rainbow Candy and Long Men Diao also approached, curious to study it.

They were all blocked by her.

“I will provide a test report later,” Da Xiong said seriously.

“Okay!” Li Cheng颐 nodded, “Also, my bone cultivation, remember to hurry.”

He needed to test it first to see if this method was effective and how dangerous it was.

Now the only two people trapped by the figure facing away were isolated, so there was no need to worry about the spread for the time being. And one just died.

So he also had time to prepare fully.

At this time, Da Xiong’s expression seemed a little strange.

“What’s wrong?” Li Cheng颐 looked at her with doubt.

“Boss, your bone mother cells…” She didn't know how to describe it. The situation just reported from the cultivation room made her not know how to organize her words at this time.

Li Cheng颐's bone mother cells were very powerful.

And also very strange.

After the growth cycle was accelerated, these cells devoured and absorbed more than ten times more nutrients than similar cells. The growth rate was also much faster than ordinary bone cells!

The most important thing was that these cells automatically disappeared after they had devoured and divided to a certain extent.

The staff in their cultivation room had observed it several times in a row, and the situation was the same.

At first, they thought they had made a mistake, but later, after confirming the situation, they directly sent the full experimental log video to Da Xiong.

“There’s such a thing?” Li Cheng颐 was slightly surprised.

He suddenly thought of the shadow transformation ability.

If he guessed correctly, the Shadow Dragon bloodline possessed the ability to shadow transform.

That is to say, if the bone cells shadow transformed, ordinary people would indeed have no way to discover it.

“I’ll go take a look with you later.”

“Okay!” Da Xiong nodded seriously.

Up to now, she, like the others, increasingly felt the various mysterious aspects of Boss Li Cheng颐.

And now, it was just another proof of his mystery.

“Since mine isn’t working, let’s have others do the bone cell cultivation first,” Li Cheng颐 said.

“Understood. The quantity is the same as before?”

“Yes.”

After Li Cheng颐 finished speaking, he looked at the others.

“Regarding the situation of the one facing away, I will try it after I find a method that is confirmed to be effective. The materials I just obtained also need to be tested. Now, let’s talk about the Crescent Moon.”

“The Crescent Moon can withstand a fatal impact once. This has been confirmed on me,” Xiao Zong said quickly.

“Last time in Yunshan, when I obtained the Wishing Book, I wished to reduce the difficulty of the dead corner for everyone on our team. The Blue Book gave the answer of the Crescent Moon. Now it seems that the Crescent Moon does have the effect of reducing the difficulty of the dead corner,” Li Cheng颐 said.

“Two lives, two Crescent Moons. As expected of the boss!” Xiao Zong said emotionally.

“In this way, we will have more room to maneuver when we encounter our own dead corners,” Da Xiong said.

At this moment, everyone was extremely grateful to be able to join this team. To be able to obtain something that can revive people, this has already deviated from the scope of ordinary dead corners.

“But it’s still not enough. The difficulty of the dead corners is obviously increasing. We must think of more ways to improve ourselves and make more preparations for the dead corners,” Li Cheng颐 said.

“Two years… the theoretical longest time for dead corner people. Actually, from Qiong An, whom you rescued, I saw a way,” Xin Dela said in a deep voice.

“You’re talking about…” Li Cheng颐 quickly understood.

“Is it possible to use simpler dead corners to shield more difficult dead corners? If you keep hiding in a simple dead corner, can you avoid the increasingly difficult dead corners? Just like Qiong An was able to live in Dark City for many years,” Xin Dela said.

“…There is indeed this possibility.” Li Cheng颐 suddenly thought of something and looked at Xin Dela.

The two of them almost simultaneously thought of Li En.

If Li En hadn’t died, was he also trying to avoid extremely difficult dead corners by finding another safer dead corner to avoid?

No one knew…

“I will pay attention,” Li Cheng颐 nodded to the boss, indicating that he understood the meaning.

Then, he looked at the others.

“The dead corners will become more and more difficult next. I hope everyone can do their best during this time to improve themselves.”

“Boss means genetic enhancement injections?” Rainbow Candy said.

“Yes. And choose the flower language corresponding to your bio-armor. Tang Tang, please explain this to everyone. We don’t have much time left,” Li Cheng颐 said.

“Okay, I understand!” Rainbow Candy said solemnly.

“In any case, I promised everyone that I would find a way to completely get rid of the dead corners. And the difficulty of going down this road is far beyond ordinary people’s imagination,” Li Cheng颐 looked around at everyone.

“So, I hope everyone will do their best to improve themselves and live to the end.”

“I have hired the top fighting experts and am preparing to conduct special training. Those who want to come can come to me,” Rainbow Candy said.

Since the incident in Sultan, she had truly experienced a sense of powerlessness and weakness. After returning to the country, she immediately looked for the strongest firearms and fighting instructors, spending a lot of money to strengthen herself.

“Count me in,” Long Men Diao quickly raised his hand. After experiencing life and death, he realized the value of strength.

“I’ll come too…” Da Xiong gently reached out and held Rainbow Candy’s palm, her eyes filled with comfort.

“I won’t go… Oh right, Boss,” Xiao Zong suddenly looked at Li Cheng颐. “Can I choose the exotic flowers in your garden?”

Li Cheng颐 was stunned.

“Of course.”

Although those exotic flowers were the source of providing finances for the garden, they were also dead corner flowers he raised with the blood of the Shadow of Hatred.

He heard Xiao Zong’s meaning. He seemed to be planning to choose exotic flowers as his main flower.

“Theoretically, the flower language of non-exotic flowers is not necessarily strong enough. The key is to be suitable for oneself,” he said in a deep voice.

“I understand!” Xiao Zong nodded.

Li Cheng颐 scanned the few people present. Judging from the feedback from the Purple Magnolia, everyone in the team had reached the level of choosing a main flower.

But now only Rainbow Candy had chosen a main flower, and the rest hadn't started yet.

“From now on, equipment, medicine, whatever means you use, go for it!”

The few people didn’t answer, but their eyes slowly became firm.

Chaoyu.

A huge pool was filled with mist.

Lotus flowers the size of small boats swayed in the wind.

Clear water, pink flowers, willow catkins flying around the lake, forming a beautiful picture.

Under the willow tree, a semi-transparent force field umbrella covered a large amount of falling catkins.

Two young men wearing gray robes and feather crowns were sitting under the umbrella.

The man on the left had narrow eyes and thin lips, giving people a cold and mean feeling.

It was Zhu Rui, who had met Li Cheng颐 before.

The person opposite him had a completely different demeanor.

With a square face, large ears, peaceful eyes, and a high nose bridge, he looked like he had a good temper, giving people a smiling and gentle feeling even without saying anything.

“Today, why does Brother Liu have time to seek me out for a game of chess?” Zhu Rui picked up a black and white piece with one hand and gently placed it on the chessboard between them.

“I have nothing to do. My elder sister led the army out, so I came to find Brother Zijun to pass the time,” the square-faced man said with a smile.

Zijun was Zhu Rui’s courtesy name. In Yiguo, only nobles were qualified to have courtesy names in addition to their names.

“Has Brother Liu’s Wenxin Pill been refined? If it is mass-produced, don’t forget about your little brother,” Zhu Rui glanced at the other party.

He always felt that the other party had come today for a different purpose.

The upper-class nobles of Yiguo, in pursuit of spiritual immortality, were mostly addicted to refining pills and Taoism, whether they were nobles or royals.
