272: Chapter 273 Biological Research

The old man's face still maintained the expression from before his death, eyes slightly open, his expression calm.

If not for the fact that one could not sense any qi of life, it would be indistinguishable from him sleeping.

Once a Martial Artist reaches the Sixth-Grade, their level of life undergoes a massive leap.

Even after death, their flesh, bones, and internal organs can still maintain a certain level of vitality.

Therefore, the corpse of a Martial Artist of this grade holds significant value for certain special groups of people.

For instance, some heretical paths that specialize in dealing with corpses, the most notorious of which is the Corpse Puppet Sect.

They not only dig up people's ancestral graves everywhere but also turn their ancestors' corpses into Puppets; you could say it's as disgusting as it gets.

Lin Ye certainly couldn't do such a perverted thing, but he didn't want to just let it go to waste either.

After thinking for a moment, he ultimately decided to store the old man's corpse into his void ring.

Old Man Shen watched helplessly as such a large corpse disappeared, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Is this… a storage item?"

"Oh? Elder Shen has heard of this?"

Since Lin Ye had collected the corpse in front of him, he naturally had no intention of hiding the existence of the void ring.

Mainly, there was nothing to hide.

Previously, he thought this world was just a high martial arts plane and that the upper limit shouldn't be too exaggerated, which is why he felt the void ring was very precious.

But ever since he learned that there are gods in the Martial Domain World, he realized he was wrong.

Even gods have appeared, so what is a mere storage item worth?

Although it's not cheap enough for everyone to have one, it certainly cannot be considered a rare treasure.

"I have heard of it, but I have never seen one.

I heard that only a small amount of such equipment flows out from the Divine Forging Valley every year, and then they are dispersed to the various states of the Great Han, making the number even fewer.

Each piece is worth a fortune, with a rarity comparable to a Spiritual Artifact, and they are only sold in state capitals.

I didn't expect you brat to actually have one in your hands; could it be that Old Man Tie gave it to you?"

The only connection Old Man Shen could think of was Lin Ye's grandmaster.

Since he is a Disciple who came out of the Divine Forging Valley, it is reasonable for him to carry a storage item with him.

"Uh, I suppose so."

Lin Ye was just worrying about how to explain the Origin of the void ring, and he didn't expect Old Man Shen to make up a reason for him.

It must be said, the Divine Forging Valley is indeed authoritative enough in terms of equipment forging.

In the future, if he gets any awesome equipment from the System, he might as well just attribute it to the Divine Forging Valley.

Speaking of which, he didn't know if his dad had joined the Divine Forging Valley yet; he needed to find some time to log off and ask.

This Divine Forging Valley is simply a Treasure Trove Sect; I'm afraid it's filled with treasures everywhere.

Just taking out any random item would probably be a rare Sharp Weapon in this world.

"You are quite lucky."

It was evident that Old Man Shen's tone was full of envy.

The Demon Suppression Division does have similar equipment, but unfortunately, he simply cannot afford to redeem it.

Sigh, talking too much about it just brings tears.

"By the way, why did you put the corpse inside?"

Old Man Shen looked puzzled.

It wasn't that he was worried Lin Ye would do something bad to the corpse; he was just purely curious.

"I plan to study the Physical Body structure of a Sixth-Grade Martial Artist to prepare for my future Breakthrough." Lin Ye didn't explain in too much detail.

"I see, but it's best to avoid people when you are researching; if you are seen, it will damage the reputation of our Demon Suppression Division."

Old Man Shen couldn't help but remind him.

As the orthodox organization of the imperial court, regardless of what happens behind the scenes, they still need to maintain a majestic and upright image on the surface.

"Elder Shen, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lin Ye had no intention of researching it himself; instead, he planned to bring the corpse to the real world and hand it over to official institutions for research.

The Physical Body of a Sixth-Grade Martial Artist has undergone many transformations, and whether it's the strength of the bones, the activity of the blood and qi, or the structure of the Meridians, it is already fundamentally different from ordinary humans; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a brand-new species.

If modern technology could be used to systematically research such a biological specimen, it might allow the country to make significant Breakthroughs in biotechnology.

According to Lin Ye's speculation, even if the martial domain game continues to recruit players in the future, it is impossible to achieve true universal Cultivation.

In other words, not all humans can enter the martial domain game; the vast majority of people simply do not have the qualifications to become players.

Therefore, if Blue Star humans want to truly possess the strength to cope with future changes, they must ultimately rely on the development of technology.

This was not just Lin Ye's wild guess.

As one of the first batch of players, his authority within the official System is very high, and he can access much more information than ordinary players.

He had previously reviewed some statistical data about players through Secretary Qin, and the total number of known players in the country is currently around ten million.

Among them, the top-tier first batch of players only numbers around a hundred or so, which can be called one in ten million.

However, contrary to Lin Ye's previous speculation, these hundred-plus first-batch players almost cover every age group.

Eighty percent are concentrated in the young group between eighteen and thirty years old, ten percent are in the middle-aged group between thirty and fifty, and the remainder includes teenagers under eighteen and elderly people over fifty.

Judging from all aspects of the data, the game does not randomly select players but screens them according to each person's own potential.

The higher a person's potential, the earlier they will enter the game.

As for those who have not awakened potential, there is a high probability they will never be selected by the game, unless they have a special item like a player recruitment order.

This is also the reason why the authorities value the player recruitment order so much.

For those who hold high positions and possess important resources, if they cannot obtain power through the game, it is simply a catastrophe.

Therefore, the recruitment order is their only way out.

But the recruitment order is too rare; compared to Blue Star's massive population base, relying on recruitment orders to pull people in is simply a drop in the bucket.

As the saying goes, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others; the power of technology may not necessarily be worse than the extraordinary power of the martial domain game.

If the authorities can get some inspiration from this corpse, then he can be considered to have made a contribution to the country's scientific research cause.

"Elder Shen, you have been watching for a day, go back and recover from your injuries first.

As for the Sun Family, they won't make any moves in the short term.

In addition, I will talk to the Wang Family to test their attitude toward the Sun Family."

Old Man Shen glanced at his still-bleeding arm and knew that staying outside the Sun Family was meaningless.

"Alright, then you take care of yourself; those people in the aristocratic families are all cunning, and if you are not careful, you might fall into their traps."

Old Man Shen had clearly suffered losses in this regard.

Lin Ye nodded and turned to walk toward the Wang Family.

This time, no one stopped him.

Now, Lin Ye is considered a celebrity of sorts throughout Qingfeng County, and he can get into many places just by showing his face.

Led by the Wang Family steward, Lin Ye made his way unimpeded to find Wang Lin, who was recovering from his injuries.

In the battle against Bai Yan, Wang Lin overextended too much of his life Origin; this sort of thing cannot be recovered easily and must be supplemented by Heaven And Earth Treasure.

As soon as Lin Ye entered the room, he smelled a rich medicinal fragrance.

Just by taking a breath, the circulation speed of his blood and qi inside his body accelerated a bit; this is clearly not an effect that ordinary medicinal herbs can possess.

It can only be said that the Wang Family is worthy of being the number one aristocratic family in Qingfeng County; their foundation is indeed extraordinary.

"Brother Wang…"

Just as Lin Ye was about to greet Wang Lin, he suddenly noticed that there was another person sitting in the room.
