Chapter 63: Analysis Complete, A Huge Harvest
As soon as Wu Tong stored the dissected demon beast into his soul tool, the cold voice of the King of Wisdom echoed in his mind.
"Report: Analysis of the demon beast 'Scorpion-Tailed Serpent' completed. Newly extracted energy type: magic essence.
Testing shows the energy has the following properties: promotes biological evolution, enhances bloodline resonance, amplifies magical power, strengthens physical constitution, and improves mental strength..."
"Report: During analysis, the following skills were acquired—Active Skill: Swiftstride, Active Skill: Rend, Passive Skill: Poison Resistance Increased."
"Phew, not bad at all. Three new skills and an entirely new energy system successfully integrated."
Wu Tong was very satisfied with this harvest. Just the poison resistance boost alone was a big win—let alone mastering a new energy system.
After all, while Wu Tong had confidence in his own strength, he couldn't guarantee he'd survive the effects of every strange poison he encountered.
That was also the core reason why Wu Tong had studied medicine all these years.
Just then, a thought crossed his mind, and he began inspecting his own body.
Activating his Spirit Scan skill, the various states within his body appeared clearly within his perception.
There was the Shaoyang True Qi cultivated through the Red Wheel Heart Method; a faint level of blood vitality gained through national martial arts training; the innate Qi acquired from analyzing the "Outcast World"; and now, the newly extracted magic essence from the Scorpion-Tailed Serpent.
The four types of extraordinary energy varied in quantity and were distributed throughout his body, yet they weren't conflicting.
The Shaoyang True Qi resided within his acupoints; the blood vitality spread through muscle and sinew; the innate Qi flowed along his meridians; and the magic essence was centered in his dantian.
Looking at this chaotic mixture—a stew of energy types—Wu Tong furrowed his brows tightly.
"Damn... I expected this might happen, but this is way too messy. Luckily, they aren't clashing. If they did, I'd be dead meat."
"King of Wisdom, add a new simulation task. Using the Shaoyang True Qi from the Red Wheel Heart Method as the base, integrate the properties of all energies within my body.
Make the Shaoyang True Qi capable of harmonizing all energies, and also grant it the ability to freely convert between them."
The thought of increasing energy diversity in the future—leading to conflict, and eventually body rupture and death—made Wu Tong shiver. He hurriedly had the King of Wisdom simulate a fusion method.
As for why he chose the Shaoyang True Qi as the core, it was because the Red Wheel Heart Method was his original creation, and he held deep emotional attachment to it.
Moreover, the Red Wheel Heart Method had the greatest potential of all his systems. Once all his recent gains were fully digested, the King of Wisdom's refined version of it should be able to evolve into techniques for Pure Yang and Sun Realms.
According to projections, the Sun Realm could reach fifth-tier combat power. The later Supreme Yang Realm could step into the sixth tier, while the True Yang Realm's destructive might would rival the peak of the seventh tier—unrivaled beneath individual universes.
In short, if the Red Wheel Heart Method were completed, it would be a peerless seventh-tier technique—surpassing even the "Nine Yang Manual" from the group.
That alone showed just how massive the Red Wheel Heart Method's potential truly was.
Furthermore, once all energies were integrated into the Shaoyang True Qi, their properties would also be absorbed. The body reinforcement from blood vitality, the life-level evolution from magic essence, the inclusiveness and versatility of innate Qi—all of it would become part of the Shaoyang True Qi.
(In Outcast World, it was mentioned that innate Qi could drive magic, psychic powers, techniques, and even gene warriors' internal power… So innate Qi is versatile and inclusive.)
With that, the Red Wheel Heart Method enhanced by four energy traits would allow for comprehensive development—where combat power and life level advanced in tandem.
At that point, Wu Tong would only need to cultivate this one method. As his cultivation rose, so would his physical quality, life level, and energy grade—turning him into a flawless all-rounder.
From this perspective, using the Shaoyang True Qi as the foundation to integrate other energies was clearly the best choice.
"Confirmed. Task added to simulation list... successfully added. Simulation in progress."
The King of Wisdom didn't react to Wu Tong's sudden request—only calmly processed the task and started the simulation.
Hearing its voice, Wu Tong nodded in satisfaction, then reopened the chat group, ready to share the good news with his fellow members.
...
Wu Tong's consciousness sank into the group chat.
[King of Moe]: So? Did it work? @Seeker of Dao
[Dragon King Spits Water]: Is the demon beast still alive? @Seeker of Dao
[Passerby]: What's the result? Did it turn out the way we all guessed? @Seeker of Dao
Seeing a string of pings directed at him, Wu Tong quickly replied.
[Seeker of Dao]: It worked. The demon beast that was transmitted over was still alive and even tried to ambush me, but I took care of it.
[King of Moe]: Huh? It tried to ambush you? I remember knocking it out!
[King of Moe]: I'm really sorry, Wu Tong.
Rimuru was shocked by Wu Tong's message. Realizing what had happened, he quickly apologized.
[Seeker of Dao]: It's fine. I gained a lot from it on my end—don't worry about it.
Although it had been a bit dangerous, Wu Tong knew Rimuru hadn't done it intentionally. Seeing Rimuru apologize, he responded generously. After all, he really had gained quite a lot.
He then took the initiative to shift the topic.
[Seeker of Dao]: From the looks of it, if we want to transmit non-group members in the future, we can smuggle them in directly through red packets.
[Photo Princess]: That's great news. But why can we only transmit non-group members?
[Dragon King Spits Water]: Because group members act as anchor points—we can't send ourselves through red packets.
Gu Ruoli stepped in right away to explain after seeing March 7's question.
As for how she knew, it was because she had once attempted to stuff herself into a red packet to escape from a dangerous world.
The group system responded that group members couldn't be transmitted. But non-group members clearly could—so the system must restrict sending internal members via red packets.
[Drifting Through the Mortal World]: In that case, the red packet smuggling method is viable.
[Drifting Through the Mortal World]: I wonder whether it's possible to smuggle people using a Serenitea Pot?
Zhongli was also very interested in this smuggling method. If it worked, it would make it far more convenient for people from Teyvat to migrate to other worlds in the future.
[Drifting Through the Mortal World]: [Luck-Based Red Packet · Serenitea Pot]
Group Notification: Member "Drifting Through the Mortal World" has sent a luck-based red packet. Everyone, come grab it!
Group Notification: Member "Passerby" successfully snatched the red packet and is the Luck King of this round.
Just as Zhongli mentioned trying it out, the red packet was sent. Even though Wu Tong was prepared this time, he still didn't manage to grab it.
This made his heart ache.
The Serenitea Pot—one of the three immortal arts of the Genshin world: external scenes, pill refinement, and talisman crafting.
As the pinnacle of external scene techniques, it was a portable miniature world where one could reside.
If he could analyze it, Wu Tong was confident he could master the crafting method. Though he might not be able to fully recreate it due to material constraints, he could at least produce a weaker version of the Serenitea Pot construction technique.
Unfortunately, he hadn't managed to grab it.
