Chapter 503: Gate of Creation
Lin Xiaosu said, "What task?"
"Chairman Ding of Changsheng Group personally talked to me," Yixiang said. "He said that although this matter is incredibly difficult, exploration through generations is ultimately a necessity. I accepted this task also because it aligns with my father's lifelong dream."
Lin Xiaosu's eyes widened...
"My father often said that the Gu Technique is ancient genetic transformation, and genetic transformation is the modern Gu Technique. I have realized this point, and I also hope to find a way to unlock the genetic shackles through the Gu Technique. Unfortunately, my comprehension is not that high. I've gone through all the ancient books my father left behind, but still have no clue..."
She laid out the task she accepted.
The task she accepted was from Changsheng Group Chairman Ding Lizhong.
What task?
To unlock the shackles of modern genetic transformation technology!
Genetic transformation greatly enhances human physical abilities, almost a milestone technology peak in modern science.
However, genetic transformation has limitations.
It also has shackles.
The success rate is low.
Even if successful, there remains the risk of genetic rejection within the body.
Moreover, there's another issue, reaching a peak upon debut, with no further improvement possible.
These are the genetic shackles.
Ding Lizhong hopes to unlock these shackles.
Actually, in this world, what medical group wouldn't wish for this?
Those at the top, who wouldn't hope for this?
If these shackles can be unlocked, genetic transformation could truly have a smooth path.
This is a great project.
It is not something one person can complete alone, but it requires various opportunities.
And the Gu Technique is one of them.
The Gu Technique is ancient genetic transformation!
Genetic transformation is the modern Gu Technique!
The two are interlinked.
In the past, the greatest dream of a generation of Witch Gods was to achieve this connection.
Today's technology giant Ding Lizhong shares the same idea.
Thus, although Yixiang was theoretically retired, Ding Lizhong still gave her such a task. Perhaps it's not even called a task because it has no tests, no timeline, no hard pressure, only the exploration process.
Yixiang gladly accepted.
Because this was something she originally wanted to do.
"I was planning to stay here with you for a while, during this time, could we study together?" Lin Xiaosu said.
Yixiang was so happy she almost jumped, "Everyone says you're the smartest person! Let's study together..."
From below came Mother's voice calling, "Yixiang, bring your brother down for dinner."
The meal, though prepared hastily, was still very hearty.
There were fresh vegetables, as well as dried ones.
There was meat, cured meat.
There was fish, freshly caught small river fish.
They even opened a bottle of wine, the wine was the bottle of red wine Lin Xiaosu had just brought in.
When Lin Xiaosu came down to the dining room, the wine was already opened, poured into a glass, and placed in the main guest position.
It was the spot he had always sat in the last time he came over.
The cup was the one used to pour him wine back then, and the wine was the same red wine as before.
Yixiang did not feel anything strange.
Because throughout the past half year, Mother had spoken to her about little Su many times, with the wordings increasingly hinting at a potential son-in-law.
The feeling of family had long since permeated this old house.
Lin Xiaosu smiled holding the chopsticks, smiling as he ate the food, and drank the wine normally during the meal.
This glass of wine, as expected, contained an antidote.
The antidote to the love poison.
Upon drinking this antidote, the love poison wouldn't flare up within a year.
This was an old lady's worry, which was resolved when Lin Xiaosu "unconsciously" dissolved the poison, freeing her of this knot in her heart.
The smile became radiant.
After the meal, the crescent moon rose.
Mother tidied up the tableware and greeted Yixiang: I'm going out for a stroll.
Then, she casually went out to visit her old sisters.
Yixiang's heart started racing.
She was very sensitive.
With Lin Xiaosu in front of her, she couldn't help but think about tonight.
She and her brother had already done it.
Her brother's methods, her brother's teasing, her brother's actual lovemaking, after savoring it several times, she couldn't extricate herself, she missed him too much. Previously, when brother stayed at home for a few days, every morning in the guest room with her, but today, the time in between was a bit long, she couldn't help it, she felt that if tonight brother sleeps in the guest room, and she sleeps in the bamboo house, she might not be able to sleep at all.
However, at this moment, Mother went out to visit friends...
Thinking too much makes the body very sensitive, so when Lin Xiaosu pulled her hand upstairs, her legs felt a bit weak.
Once upstairs, the curtains were drawn from all directions, one hug, one kiss, one touch...
Yixiang panting softly, her body slipping down uncontrollably...
But she still retained a bit of rationality: "Brother, better... better wait until tomorrow in the guest room."
"Even if you go to the guest room tomorrow, there's a precondition that your mother has to go out before dawn. Elderly as she is, going up the mountain so early isn't suitable."
Yixiang's mind was a bit stalled: "You mean you're holding me down now for my mother's sake?"
"Yeah, the real reason the old lady goes out for a midnight stroll is to create an opportunity for you, you can't let her good intentions go to waste."
"Why do I feel you're fooling me, yet it still makes sense? Hmm... then be gentle..."
Two hours passed.
Sure, here is the translated text:
The majority of lights in the Thousand year old Miao Village have gone out.
Mother finally returned.
Upon returning, Yixiang was sitting alone by the furnace. Perhaps the fire was a bit too strong, as her cheeks were overly flushed.
"Where's your brother?"
Yixiang gestured towards the guest room with her mouth: "Asleep."
"Then, you should go to sleep too," Mother said.
"Okay!" Yixiang left the kitchen and went up to her small bamboo house.
She tidied up the messy bed, with the sheets underneath soaked completely. Oh my gosh, quickly stuffed them into the wardrobe to handle tomorrow.
The subsequent life on the small hill was rather peaceful, even remarkably elegant.
Someone might say, what with Lin Xiaose and Yixiang secretly fooling around without much development, how could it be elegant?
Indeed it can!
Because it is a silent understanding.
Mother rises early in the morning, goes visiting after dinner, spends her days on the mountain or by the river, emphasizing "unnecessary absence from home."
The young couple understands too, using every opportunity but maintaining decorum when Mother returns.
People from the Miao Village also observed the foreign groom from afar.
The unanimous opinion was that this young man is refined and willing to learn, truly different from the men in the mountains.
That's right, the label of being studious is rather rare in modern society, aren't most young folks glued to their phones? How many are engrossed in books?
The tradition of the hills persists; those who read achieve great things.
So, this groom is bound to achieve great things in the future...
Nobody could have anticipated.
Lin Xiaosu wasn't reading ordinary books.
He was perusing almost all the materials left by a generation of Witch God.
This content wasn't fiction, obscure, mysterious, profound, with huge amounts of information on each page for the average person, but in his hands, ten books a day...
Day one, day two, day three, and suddenly it was the tenth day!
Lin Xiaosu idly spent a full ten days unexpectedly.
He truly stayed in Yixiang's small bamboo house for ten days.
Winter month, from the crescent moon rising until the full moon in the west sky.
That night, the full moon above.
Lin Xiaosu finished the final ancient text.
He reclined on a rocking chair atop the bamboo house, gazing at the sky.
In ten days, nearly a hundred various ancient texts, he had read them all. With his Human Tao Orchid Heart, what he read was etched in his mind.
Now, it's the time for integration…
The data from the ancient texts was diverse.
Containing theoretical discourse, practical guidance, image information, ancient legends, some absurd and some thought-provoking...
If sorted by timeline, there were three major timelines within the ancient texts.
Firstly, the oldest ancient texts were not Miaojiang's works at all; they belonged to the Cultivation Path, suggesting that Gu Technique was born from the Cultivation Path.
Secondly, Miaojiang Gu Technique's earliest founder ingeniously opened a Gate of Gu Technique from the ancient cultivation texts.
Thirdly, the modern successors innovated through generations, including Yixiang's father and even Yixiang herself.
If we trace back to the very Origin, there's one theory that's quite intriguing.
Cultivation's highest realm is Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Return to origin.
The Three Flowers are Essence, Qi, Spirit!
Essence, Qi, Spirit represent three Domains.
Essence pertains to the strength of the flesh, including bloodline, genes.
Qi is the power of the Cultivation Path, True Qi, and the diverse capabilities evolved from True Qi.
Spirit, the Primordial Spirit, pertaining to aspects of consciousness.
Thus, cultivation is about breakthroughs in these three aspects.
Many mistakenly assume that these three are a whole, and by reaching a higher realm, the three naturally unify.
In truth, they're not, the three more often progress individually, achieving a perfect unity eventually.
This inevitably requires distinct methods for elevating each Domain.
For instance, the original conception of Gu Technique was the Law to strengthen the flesh.
Lin Xiaosu paused for ten seconds seeing this statement.
Because this challenged his perception of Gu Technique.
Previously perceived as venom-like, akin to poisons, as external objects.
However, the "gu" in these ancient texts, once elevated to the level of "Tao," appears extremely noble.
The perfect realm of gu is called "Unity of Human and Worm."
What does Unity of Human and Worm mean?
It means the gu you raise will feedback its abilities to you.
For instance, if your gu possesses the Undying Power, once channeled back to you, your flesh will also become undying.
For example, if your gu can leap ten times its height, once you receive this ability, you too will jump over three levels.
For instance, if the gu's flesh is indestructible, this ability given back to you, your flesh will also be strengthened.
Isn't this modern genetic theory?
This is the true origin of that famous quote by the Witch God: Gu is ancient Genetic Transformation, Genetic Transformation is modern Gu Technique.
This is how Gu and genetic theory intersect.
In modern Miaojiang Gu Technique, gu has become synonymous with insects.
Gu has also become an exterior object akin to poison.
But this is not the inherent trait of Gu Technique itself, it merely represents the incomplete aspect of Gu Technique.
How to achieve complete Gu Technique?
There's a book called "Creation Technique" that talks about it.
