Chapter 46: Great Value for Money in Research Investment
The colorless and transparent solution quickly filled the glass jar. Since the density of the solution was the same as that of the human body, the girl was suspended perfectly.
The five thickest tubes connecting the glass jar emit red, blue, gold, brown and green lights respectively. The five colors of light represent the spiritual energy of the five elements of fire, water, gold, earth and wood.
Luan Qingyu, who was in the jar, suddenly felt his whole body tightly wrapped by extremely rich and pure spiritual energy with almost no impurities. He felt extremely comfortable immediately. With just a slight adjustment of his breathing, a huge amount of spiritual energy entered the meridians from countless acupuncture points throughout the body and rushed towards the Dantian Qi Sea.
She seemed to be in the primeval land at the beginning of the world, enjoying the baptism of the purest original spiritual energy. Suddenly, she was like a hungry dog that had been eating coarse dog food and tasted human food for the first time, absorbing it greedily.
At this time, even if someone pulled her legs to pull her out of the glass jar, she would hold on to the ground tightly with both hands, bury her head and eat until she was full.
In the ancient times before the Conferred God Era, the concentration and purity of spiritual energy was far greater than it is now, so much so that it was deposited and condensed into spiritual stones and buried deep underground.
In the current era, the spiritual energy in the atmosphere is so thin that it is even less than the inert gas in the air. Unless the cultivators discover a blessed land that has sealed a large amount of original spiritual energy since ancient times, they can only absorb the mixed spiritual energy from the spirit stones to improve their cultivation.
The purity of spiritual energy has a great impact on the absorption efficiency of practitioners. The absorption efficiency of mixed spiritual energy is about the same, and too many impurities will damage the meridians and cause hidden injuries. Luan Qingyu has never felt so happy absorbing spiritual energy in his life.
It's like the 99.6% pure blue ice made by Walter White and the 50% pure garbage mixed with chili powder made by Little Pink. From the perspective of user experience, there is a world of difference.
It is difficult to find high-purity single elements in nature. For example, uranium ore is considered rich if it contains only 0.05% uranium. Some ores that can exist in nature as single elements, such as gold nuggets, have a purity of only 83% to 92%, far less than the 99.9% after artificial refining.
Spiritual energy itself is a highly active element that is very easy to be polluted and denatured. It is very easy to collapse and denature due to the observer effect. If it is contaminated with evil thoughts, it will be transformed into demonic energy. In the area where demons gather, it will be transformed into demonic energy...
Under the pollution of various distracting thoughts, there are many cases where spiritual energy is transformed into ghost energy, resentment, evil energy, domineering energy, and evil energy. The spiritual stone mines contain various impurities in different proportions. Practitioners have to spend a lot of effort to refine them, and the refining efficiency is just like picking out sand, millet, beans, and rice weevils from rice by hand.
When Wen Rui initially still had a glimmer of hope about his useless spiritual roots, he had already discovered the importance of spiritual energy purity to cultivation. Therefore, when designing and manufacturing the acceleration cabin, he focused on strengthening the spiritual energy purification module.
The glazed tanks and associated monitoring equipment in the hall on this floor are only part of the entire system. This entire floor is almost entirely an aura refining factory.
Starting from the spiritual stone beneficiation stage, it has to go through hundreds of processes such as washing, refining, decomposition, evaporation precipitation, magnetic field deflection, meteorological sedimentation stratification, oscillating screening, and single atomic membrane filtration to decompose the mixed spiritual energy in the spiritual stone into pure five elements spiritual essence, and then through the formation, the five elements spiritual essence are reintegrated into yin and yang energy, and finally the yin and yang energy are unified and restored to the original spiritual energy.
After going through this entire set of precision processing and purification procedures, the purity of the spiritual energy produced has surpassed the high-quality spiritual energy in ancient times and is close to the purity of the first ray of spiritual energy born after Pangu created the world.
It is said that wild boars cannot eat fine bran. If it were a cultivator with ordinary spiritual roots, Wen Rui would not dare to inject such high-purity spiritual energy into the tank, otherwise it would cause physiological rejection like oxygen intoxication, which would tear the meridians and damage the dantian at the least, or cause the body to explode and die at the worst.
Wen Rui had a personal experience of bloody lessons. When he was experiencing this acceleration cabin himself, he almost died in it.
In other words, only after catching Luan Qingyu, a top-level talented cultivator who possessed the Heavenly Phoenix Holy Body and the Holy Spirit Root, could Wen Rui let go and increase the power of the acceleration cabin to its maximum.
The cheeks of the girl in the glass jar were flushed. She was violently infused with a large amount of pure spiritual energy. She seemed to be enjoying the world's best massage. A wonderful sense of satisfaction filled her body and mind, just like a person who is addicted to smoking. After holding back for a long time, he finally took a puff of cigarette. He felt so happy and carefree as a god.
To the extent that the bright and beautiful girl had involuntarily lost the ability to control her facial expression, revealing an expression of deep indulgence similar to Ahegao, her pupils were a little dilated, and she bit her lips and let out a slight moan.
Fortunately, there was a solution and a glass wall blocking the view, so one could only see the image but not hear any sound. Otherwise, even someone as cunning as Wen Rui would have difficulty controlling the scene if he had to observe it closely, as it required a thick mosaic, and it would have greatly affected his concentration on his work.
"Jarvis, control the nanorobots to form a spiritual energy monitoring grid in the body, and trace the trajectory of the spiritual energy in the meridians."
Wen Rui calmed himself down, moved his eyes away from the girl's beautiful and rosy face, and gave the order in a deep voice.
As the command was issued, the 3D projector behind Wen Rui projected a one-to-one restoration of Luan Qingyu's jade body. The projection of the jade body was translucent, and countless tiny luminous wires outlined thousands of veins along the acupuncture points on the body surface. Finally, all the veins concentrated on a core point in the lower abdomen of the projection.
The human body has twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, but through physiological anatomy, we can only find blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves and other transmission networks covering the human body, and we can find no evidence of the existence of meridians.
In order to observe the flow of meridians and spiritual energy in the body, Wen Rui took a different approach and adopted the principle of tracers. If direct observation is not possible, he resorted to indirect means.
The main purpose of feeding Luan Qingyu with nanorobots is not to control her, but to make these nanorobots evenly distributed in her body, and once they sense the spiritual energy, they will send out signals, thus completely depicting the meridian guidance map. The total volume of the nanorobots in Luan Qingyu's body is about 1 cubic centimeter, and each nanorobot unit is 5 nanometers in diameter, which means that there are nearly 10 to the 60th power tracer units in total, which far exceeds the total number of 80- trillion human cells.
In this way, the nano-tracing unit, as a pixel unit, provides a meridian guidance map with a clarity comparable to that of an astronomical telescope, which is far from comparable to the 4K, 8K, and 16K high-definition images promoted in the real world.
"As expected of a Holy Spirit Root..."
Wen Rui couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "Only the twelve main meridians of my useless spiritual root are unobstructed, and the eight extraordinary meridians are all blocked. Junior Sister Luan's meridians are just like an integrated circuit, with a kind of complex and orderly beauty."
The girl in the jar also saw the projection of her own body through the transparent jar. Her pupils suddenly dilated and she showed a surprised expression. This was the first time that she observed the operation of her own meridians so clearly and intuitively.
Practitioners can indeed look inward, but the accuracy is difficult to guarantee. Often they can only detect vague information such as "a warm current flows from a certain acupoint to a certain acupoint and finally converges at a certain acupoint" or "a cyclone forms behind the dantian". They have never seen such an ultra-high-definition picture with trillions of pixels.
The so-called spiritual roots refer to the meridians. These meridians are like plant roots, transmitting nutrients to the dantian. The more developed the root system, the higher the grade of the spiritual roots.
The human body only has twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, but when a cultivator successfully breaks through the Qi Refining Stage and lays a foundation, he will build a more complex hidden meridian network.
There are only 362 acupuncture points in the human body. With the construction of the secret meridian network, secret acupuncture points will also be generated in the meridian network. Each secret acupuncture point has the function of absorbing spiritual energy like the acupuncture points of ordinary people, just like adding new respiratory organs to the human body.
At the same time, the process of spiritual energy entering the acupuncture points and being transmitted in the meridians is like the process of the intestines absorbing nutrients and excreting waste, gradually purifying the purity. By the time it enters the Dantian Qi Sea, the purity of the mixed spiritual energy has increased by several orders of magnitude.
Many cultivators often like to construct internal circulation in the body's meridians, repeatedly guiding the spiritual energy to flow and circulate in the meridians like a cow ruminating, and eventually refining the mixed spiritual energy into the purest form. This process is quite long, and is the main factor that slows down the progress of cultivation.
Therefore, the higher the grade of the spiritual roots, the higher the efficiency of absorbing and purifying spiritual energy, and the faster the progress of cultivation.
Wen Rui was very unlucky not to inherit the top spiritual root genes of his cheap father Wen Zhong. You should know that his cheap father only practiced under the Golden Spirit Holy Mother for fifty years, and was extremely powerful as soon as he came out of the mountain. In the end, he was unfortunately killed by the joint siege of two Daluo Jinxians, Yun Zhongzi of the Chan Sect and Master Ran Deng.
It's a pity that the father is a hero and the son is Goudan. It is impossible for Wen Zhong, who was developing a dynasty on earth, to be without offspring at such an old age. It's just that his descendants were all good-for-nothings in cultivation and were lost in the crowd, so they did not appear in the plot.
Before traveling through time, Wen Rui read some novels about cultivating the immortal world and had seen plots about seizing and transplanting spiritual roots. After traveling through time, he did some research and found that transplanting spiritual roots was pure nonsense.
First of all, meridians cover the entire body, and the difficulty of transplanting them is equivalent to transplanting one person's entire body blood vessels and nerves to another person.
Secondly, meridians are invisible and intangible that cannot be found even by dissecting the human body. They seem to be made up of dark matter. Even their observation requires indirect projection using tracers. If one wants to transplant them, one does not know where to start. It is better to just take over the body directly.
"Jarvis, fully analyze the Holy Spirit Root Meridian Guidance Map. We may be able to use it as a reference in the design of the armor spirit path."
"Mark the location of the Holy Spirit Root Secret Cave. My initial visual estimate is that there are no less than a million of them. It seems to echo the stars in the sky. Immediately check the astronomical observation data and search for similarities."
"The special meridian circuit fragments seem to be related to the formation diagram. Let's query the formation database and try to reverse analyze the functions corresponding to the special meridian circuits."
"Another unexpected discovery. By carefully observing certain meridian curves, it seems that we can use functions to solve them and derive algebraic expressions..."
"Check the data on gravitational changes, spiritual power fields, and spiritual power fluctuations. The spiritual power circuits formed by certain meridians seem to have triggered spiritual magnetic effects and emitted gravitational waves."
……
While constantly making gestures to remotely control the 3D projection to turn or enlarge, Wen Rui gave instructions to Jarvis. It was also the first time for him to observe the meridian network of the Holy Spirit Root owner in such detail. It was like the first time that Teacher Tony saw the energy line network projected by the Soul Gem like the brain's neural network. Countless inspirations burst out in his mind.
The number of spirit stones spent on advancing Luan Qingyu from the initial stage of Nascent Soul to the great perfection of Nascent Soul is probably in the tens of millions, but Wen Rui feels that this amount of spirit stones is really worth it. If the series of scientific research results produced by this can be monetized, the profit returned will not be just a small goal, but at least it will be of medium quality.
