The next second, a bundle weighing about ten pounds, each plant about half a meter long, fresh, juicy, with leaves streaked with white veins, of low-magic bright grass appeared beside Ding Yun.
For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to have become cleaner.
A fresh, grassy fragrance wafted into her nostrils.
However, after a while, the white veins on the grass began to dissipate. Before Ding Yun could even extract the light power that came with the grass, that light power rapidly vanished due to incompatible laws.
Soon, the bundle of grass was just grass.
If there had been light power, Ding Yun might have considered trying to eat the grass or refining it into pills to see if it had any nourishing effects on the body. But with no light power, it was obvious that this grass, apart from satisfying herbivores, would have no other effect.
So, Ding Yun naturally buried the grass, which had no roots and couldn't reproduce, on the spot, and then got up to go to the market to buy groceries.
As for treating cancer, there were far too many methods.
It wasn't a difficult task.
At least, it wasn't a difficult task for Ding Yun.
Furthermore, the original body had stomach cancer, so Ding Yun had basically decided to cultivate the Gluttonous Art to resolve the cancer.
The Gluttonous Art was a cultivation technique compiled by Ding Yun based on ancient methods and her own past experiences. In theory, it was a universally applicable technique in any world, as it didn't cultivate spiritual energy, but rather essence, qi, and blood.
The sole foundation at the beginning of cultivation was the digestive system.
Through cultivation, it extracted a portion of the body's qi and blood, transforming the digestive system into one with gluttonous characteristics.
Then, using this digestive system, it would continuously absorb the essence of grains to nourish the body, starting from the internal organs and proceeding to a complete physical transformation. Theoretically, this cultivation technique actually had no limit.
In the beginning, it could only improve by consuming food, but as time went on, it could consume and digest things like divine weapons, gold, steel, and even the sun and moon, further improving physical fitness.
The only drawback was the considerable consumption.
To complete the first transformation, thoroughly cure the stomach cancer, and cleanse all the cells in the body.
To fully recover health.
It would require eating at least ten cows.
However, the qi and blood power of these ten cows didn't need to be consumed all at once; it could be done gradually. For the time being, as long as she successfully achieved the initial stage of the Gluttonous Art.
She would be able to temporarily control the original body's cancer.
With this in mind, Ding Yun specifically bought a lot of cooked beef at the market, as well as over ten pounds of free-range eggs, and then hurried home with the items.
She went home to eat cooked beef and raw eggs.
Eating while cultivating the Gluttonous Art.
It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to cultivate the Gluttonous Art, and it would be normal not to achieve initial success in half a year to a year. However, Ding Yun was different. Firstly, she had cultivation experience, and secondly, she had mental power to assist in extracting qi and blood from within her body.
Therefore, with the help of strong mental power and sufficient food, Ding Yun only took an hour to successfully reach the initial stage of this cultivation technique. However, after reaching the initial stage, Ding Yun was astonished to discover that the Gluttonous Art true qi she had created had combined with the cancer cells, causing her stomach to mutate, and it was an unknown mutation.
Originally, her stomach had not been entirely cancerous. Although seventy percent of her normal cells had transformed into cancer cells, there were still twenty to thirty percent of normal cells. But with the successful cultivation of the Gluttonous Art, a large amount of qi and blood entered the stomach, transforming into Gluttonous true qi and combining with the stomach, the remaining twenty to thirty percent of normal cells rapidly became cancerous.
The entire stomach could be called the Stomach of Gluttony.
It could also be called the Stomach of Cancer Cells.
However, Ding Yun did not feel any discomfort. She could even feel that this stomach, which had gained gluttonous characteristics and whose cells had all transformed into cancer cells, was much stronger than the Gluttonous Stomach transformed through normal means, even possessing a trace of immortality.
Furthermore, Ding Yun could feel that she could control the cancer cells in her stomach from spreading through the Gluttonous true qi, and could also use this as a basis to control the cancer cells that had spread to other areas from spreading.
In summary, the previously uncontrollable cancer cells had become controllable after this cultivation and mutation. And once cancer cells are controllable, given their constantly growing and rarely decaying nature, they could also be called immortal cells or eternal cells.
"How could this be? At present, it seems there are no major problems, but will there be problems if I continue to cultivate? There are no precedents to learn from.
Should I change my treatment method?
What if it goes out of control? Well, it shouldn't go out of control.
But the future is unknown..."
Looking at the changes within her body, Ding Yun was momentarily hesitant. The current situation was vastly different from her expectations, and the future was unknown.
Although she believed that with her abilities, she wouldn't be able to cultivate herself to death or cure herself to death, but what if she turned into a monster later? That didn't seem right either.
After much deliberation and after examining her body, including her entire stomach, for a long time, Ding Yun finally decided not to change her approach and to try it this way for now.
Because the mutated stomach was quite miraculous.
If the digestive capacity of a normal stomach after reaching the initial stage of the Gluttonous Art was considered one, then her current stomach's digestive capacity was ten. The cancer cells with their greedy and gluttonous characteristics seemed to be particularly compatible with the Gluttonous Art, which also represented greed and gluttony. The biggest change was that in the original Gluttonous Art, consuming meat yielded more energy, whereas now the Gluttonous Art was more adept at absorbing various sugars.
This seemed related to cancer cells' easier absorption of glucose and other sugars to convert energy for proliferation.
In addition, Ding Yun discovered another interesting point: her stomach, which was now completely cancerous, required significantly less oxygen. It even showed a certain aversion to oxygen circulation when blood flowed through it, meaning her stomach had developed an anaerobic characteristic.
It is known that a person's life is essentially a process of oxidation. The lifespan of anaerobic organisms in an oxygen-free environment far exceeds that of organisms that require oxygen for survival and are themselves oxidized by oxygen.
It would not be an exaggeration to call oxygen a slow-acting poison.
Drinking poison to quench thirst, that's roughly how it is.
Therefore, the main reason that truly convinced Ding Yun to continue cultivating this way was this point. She wanted to explore if it was possible, through this special mutation, to transform herself into an anaerobic organism.
And then, through cultivation, stop being oxidized or isolate herself from oxygen, thus achieving longevity?
Although it sounded somewhat far-fetched.
Overall, it was theoretically feasible.
If she didn't try, how would she know if it could succeed?
