221: Cults are very competitive

This line of thinking actually hinges on the Strengthening Fluid!

The Strengthening Fluid can cause a person to become beast-like and gain a portion of the strength of an exotic beast, until they can eventually transform completely into an exotic beast. For Xuan Practitioners who worship power, this has a fatal allure, and many people join the cult precisely for this reason.

These people often have poor talent and have not received key cultivation from the government or their respective factions. They have to rely on their own difficult Cultivate, with progress as slow as a turtle crawling. Before long, a significant gap opens up between them and their peers, and they often become objects of bullying or contempt from their peers. For them, being Xuan Practitioners themselves, this is nothing short of a huge humiliation. At this point, as long as a cultist whispers some Gu-like incitement in their ears, it is possible for them to make up their minds to defect to the cult, and after gaining the power of an exotic beast, take revenge on the person who once bullied or despised them. This sense of satisfaction after revenge is exactly what many people dream of...

For example, Yun Yi is a relatively extreme case. As a member of a side branch of his Family, his talent was lacking, and he was bullied by the children of the main branch, even having his cultivation Foundation damaged. In a fit of rage, he defected to the cult, and instead, his cultivation progressed, and he became a Martial Master. As long as there are a few more such examples, the cult will have sufficient evidence to prove that their methods are effective and capable of allowing ordinary people to perform Heaven-Defying changes to their fate, and thus more people will come to join the cult!

In fact, every time the cultists hold a gathering, cult leaders like Feng Guang will bring up many examples similar to Yun Yi to paint a rosy picture for the followers, in order to motivate them to work and risk their lives even harder for the cult, while also going out to develop more followers to bring back...

And now, whether it is the Blood Wolf Hall headquarters or Feng Guang, they are pinning more hope on the Strengthening Fluid because they have discovered that this thing has an almost infinite attraction to the followers. After using it each time, those followers will describe to others with great relish the magical feeling of being instantly filled with power. At the same time, because every use of the Strengthening Fluid produces a certain proportion of transformation on the human body, their muscles become stronger than before, their bones and tendons become tougher, and their strength, speed, and agility all improve to a certain extent. This improvement has a certain solidification ratio. According to the cult's propaganda, it will eventually make the user completely turn into a humanoid exotic beast, possessing the powerful combat strength formed by the Fusion of the two races. This allows these people to show off to their companions, making others envious and wishing they could drink this Strengthening Fluid sooner themselves...

Therefore, as long as the level of this Strengthening Fluid increases, and at the same time, its price can be made relatively low, allowing more people to afford it and use it, then the development of the cult will be smoother and more rapid, and the cost of developing members will also be significantly reduced. This is the core plan of the Blood Wolf Hall now, and the core of this plan is, of course, the research and development of the Strengthening Fluid, as well as the infinite thirst for talent in Medical Skills!

In Feng Guang's view, one Medical Skills Genius is worth more than countless medicine testing tools. As far as he knows, in order to develop the Strengthening Fluid, the Blood Wolf Hall has used up an unknown number of medicine testing tools. However, up to now, they have only developed a Level 3 Strengthening Fluid, and this Level 3 Strengthening Fluid is actually still unsafe, having huge side effects. Sometimes it causes people to suddenly go crazy or self-destruct during the use process, and sometimes it causes them to fall into a long period of weakness after use, basically equivalent to becoming a waste!

Developing a follower is not easy, and to become a waste after just one use like this, even the cult cries out that it cannot afford it...

Therefore, the medicine testing tools needed by the Blood Wolf Hall this time are for the purpose of continuing to test this Level 3 Strengthening Fluid. They are trying to rely on this method of extensive medicine testing to improve the formula and increase its safety.

But this near-primitive method of research and development is extremely inefficient. Sometimes, even after using up countless medicine testing tools, they still achieve nothing. One must know that the cult has been developing the Strengthening Fluid for countless years, and until now, they have only developed up to a Level 2.5 Strengthening Fluid. It is evident that the difficulty of this research method is truly speechless.

However, if a Medical Skills Genius joins, and he happens to have unique understanding and innovation in this area, and then suddenly can significantly improve the safety and effectiveness of the Strengthening Fluid, wouldn't that be more valuable than anything else? And more efficient?!

Thinking of this, Feng Guang felt his train of thought suddenly clear up. He decided that in the future, he would focus his kidnapping targets on Medical Skills Geniuses like Long Yuan. He would catch one if there was one, catch a pair if there were two, and then force them to research the Strengthening Fluid. If he could be the first to develop a Level 4 or even Level 5 Strengthening Fluid, hahaha, then surely the position of Hall Master of this Blood Wolf Hall would be his for the taking, right?!!!

He immediately issued orders to his house servants to comprehensively search for Medical Skills Geniuses everywhere, and then implement defection or capture, ensuring they are all tied to his fast track of researching the Strengthening Fluid. In the future, the research team composed of these people would be his bargaining chip for competing for status within the Blood Wolf Hall...

One must know that in the past, Feng Guang didn't know how much money he had spent to purchase the Strengthening Fluid from headquarters. Now, if it turns into them asking him for the Strengthening Fluid, wouldn't he be able to make a fortune?

Feng Guang's wishful thinking was clicking away loudly, but what he didn't know was that these calculations of his had already been captured by the Heavenly Dao Eye and would soon be known to Long Yuan!

Ever since he had completely taken away the information of the cyber army under Feng Guang's command, Feng Guang had naturally entered Long Yuan's blacklist, and his actions had become a key target for the Heavenly Eye to track. Long Yuan discovered that this Feng Guang really hadn't rested for even a moment. In just this short while, he had already issued several orders, including a capture order targeting himself!

To be honest, he felt that these cultists were far more driven than just 996; they were practically working 24 hours a day! Even Feng Guang, the cult leader of the Nanyue Base, didn't take a break. He worked with the vigor of a dragon and a tiger, either scheming against people or on the way to scheming against people. If everyone in the Great Ming government and at every base could work as hard as they did, would there be any need to worry about Great Ming falling behind the Snow Eagle Country, the War Bear Country, or the Flying Lion Country? Would it be swallowed by exotic beasts?

Seeing the work state of these cultists, Long Yuan suddenly understood a principle: why the government had been unable to eliminate the cult for so many years, but instead allowed them to grow larger and larger, with their threat becoming stronger and stronger. One of the main reasons was that these cultists had an extremely strong sense of crisis and worked exceptionally hard. They thought more and did more, and at every moment, they were desperately looking for resources, looking for opportunities, and looking for chances to develop. It would be strange if they didn't become big and strong like this!
