Chapter 564: Chapter 563: Limited Resources
Qin Yanyang furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing this and shook her head, "Not too many. Many of the medicinal herbs needed for this original liquid are easy to cultivate, but there are also more than ten types of herbs with slow growth cycles. Even using scientific methods to promote growth, we cannot shorten the cycle, and the medicinal effectiveness will decrease."
Yang Fei nodded silently, his excitement gradually cooling down.
His ability to identify drugs was almost perverse. Had it not been for this, he wouldn’t have been able to guess the scientific research direction of Kong Yuren’s team just by looking at those original liquids, let alone directly integrate the medicine liquid and refine an elixir.
These genetic fluids combined amounted to dozens of types, some of which required a mixture of many herbs to be extracted.
It can be said that the elixir he had refined contained absolutely more than three hundred different herbs, many of which were incredibly rare and scarcely available on Earth.
Thus, mass-producing this kind of special medicine liquid that could alter human genes for the benefit of all mankind was simply impossible.
Yang Fei sighed to himself, This is the quandary of resources.
High-quality resources are always only available to a very few.
"However, the raw materials we have collected so far should be enough to equip a special combat team of two to three thousand people," Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei nodded and asked her, "Even if we can create three thousand strong fighters, can they compete with the Hidden Sect?"
Qin Yanyang thought for a moment and replied, "If we don’t consider the factor of technology, it’s hard to compete, but with the support of modern high-tech weapons, we should be able to greatly deter a Cultivation World like the Hidden Sect."
Yang Fei chuckled and shook his head, "It’s not enough."
"Oh?" Qin Yanyang looked at him puzzled.
Yang Fei said, "The reason the Hidden Sect was intimidated by you before was because you went all out for me and used the entire Hidden Sect World to threaten them. They didn’t dare to bet. Actually, if the cultivators of the Hidden Sect truly emerged in full force, let alone a mere three thousand, even thirty thousand couldn’t stop them."
The population of the Hidden Sect ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions. Although the number of those in the Innate Realm wasn’t too many, there were absolutely a significant number at the Middle Late Stage of Energy Transformation Realm.
Furthermore, there were dozens of fighters in the Divine Travel Realm.
Even more, Yang Fei had heard that there were even more formidable individuals alive beyond the Divine Travel Realm.
Not to mention all the people of the entire Hidden Sect World coming out, just those above the level of Energy Transformation would number over a hundred thousand.
And that was only those above Energy Transformation.
Below that, Inner Strength Martial Artists formed even the largest group in the Hidden Sect.
Once these people emerged into the mundane world, their individual power was already terrifying for ordinary people.
And what about Heaven and Penglai?
Yang Fei’s thinking always involved treating all potential enemies as opponents.
So in his mind, the Hidden Sect, Heaven, and Penglai were all enemies that needed to be guarded against.
To ensure that Divine Continent Country always remains undefeated, he believed it was necessary to have the power to face these three Cultivation Worlds.
Qin Yanyang’s thinking was different, however.
She shook her head and said, "Never mind three thousand Innate Realm masters; give me even five hundred, and it would be enough to deter the ambitious forces from acting rashly."
"Really?" Yang Fei said.
Qin Yanyang smiled and explained, "Global wars are not so easily triggered. The biggest purpose of those who initiate wars is to seek benefits. However, when the risks involved far outweigh the potential gains, they have to consider the consequences."
Seeing her full of confidence, Yang Fei’s heart brightened.
Yes, her previous rescue at the Hidden Sect was the perfect example.
The Hidden Sect clearly had the strength to detain both of them, but out of certain apprehensions, dared not wage a large-scale war.
"So you mean there is a way to mass produce the Genetic Liquid Medicine?" Qin Yanyang confirmed.
Yang Fei nodded, "No problem."
Qin Yanyang asked, "How so?"
Yang Fei explained, "As you saw before, my method involves injecting True Qi, surrounding the medicinal properties with True Qi, and forcibly merging them together."
Qin Yanyang’s eyes brightened as he said, "So what you mean is, the key to synthesizing these medicines is True Qi?"
Yang Fei praised, "My wife is indeed smart."
Qin Yanyang said, "You mean to say, let more powerful people help with the refinement together?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "This method won’t work for now. Although the operation of refining elixirs I performed earlier appeared simple, it is actually very complex. It demands precise control over the heat, the reaction of the medicine effects, and the level of True Essence Cultivation.
The heat and True Essence Cultivation are manageable, but to be like me, mastering pharmacology and precisely capturing the optimal moments to merge the original liquids isn’t me boasting, but there shouldn’t be a second person in the world capable of it."
"Then what should we do?" Qin Yanyang asked.
Yang Fei said, "Therefore, I must handle this fusion process myself."
Qin Yanyang frowned slightly and after thinking it over, he asked, "The critical point is True Qi?"
Yang Fei nodded, "Exactly, True Qi."
Qin Yanyang said, "I can help you."
Yang Fei shook his head, "Even if you help me, the efficiency would be too low. We must find a permanent solution, seek a Gathering Spirit Land, or rather, create one."
"Gathering Spirit Land?" Qin Yanyang’s eyes lit up as he asked, "Do you mean a Formation?"
Yang Fei nodded, "The Taoist Qimen Formation Method records many formations. I didn’t understand them before because I lacked the power, but now it seems I could try it out. Moreover, once I can set up a Spirit Gathering Array, it will greatly help my future cultivation."
"Is there really a Spirit Gathering Array?" Qin Yanyang said excitedly.
"Of course, there is. Speaking of which, the Hidden Sect World is actually covered by a massive Spirit Gathering Array. Otherwise, the power elements inside it wouldn’t be so active," Yang Fei explained.
Qin Yanyang, known for her decisive actions, immediately asked, "What do we need to create a Gathering Spirit Land, and how can I help you?"
Yang Fei nodded, "We indeed need to prepare many things. I’ll write a list of materials for you later. You collect them, and I need to go out."
"Where are you going?" Qin Yanyang asked with concern.
Yang Fei said, "We need to find a naturally advantageous Gathering Spirit Land. The Hidden Sect would be the best choice, but given the subtle relations between the two realms now, and my sensitive identity, it might not be easy to leave once I enter."
Qin Yanyang snorted, "Sooner or later, the Hidden Sect will be under the control of the Divine Continent Country." She was wholeheartedly dedicated to her country, firmly believing that there should be no lawless lands within the Great Divine Continent.
The Hidden Sect World is a Cave Heaven Blessed Land. If the nation could utilize its resources, the Divine Continent Country would undoubtedly become stronger and grow faster.
Not to mention, the herbs for creating Genetic Fluid, although scarce on Earth, are relatively abundant in the Hidden Sect World.
"Report."
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.
Qin Yanyang said, "Speak."
"Report Minister, some test data for Xiang Yunfei has come out."
Yang Fei said upon hearing this, "Let’s go have a look."
Qin Yanyang also wanted to know the results sooner and immediately walked out.
Once outside, a spirited female soldier holding a monitoring report respectfully saluted Qin Yanyang and handed over the document to her.
Yang Fei leaned over to take a look.
Damn, he couldn’t understand it!
"Boom!"
Just then, a loud noise came from ahead.
The entire basement trembled slightly.
Qin Yanyang’s expression changed, and she rushed forward quickly, with Yang Fei following closely behind.
