Chapter 376 - 14: "Apocalypse" End of This Volume
Chu Aiguo’s question was quite on point, so much so that even though Song You was barely clinging to life, tormented by pain, she couldn’t help but cry out with all her strength:
"Don’t mess around! How could a blood binding possibly bind so many people at once? And you want to use pig’s blood, would a pig be able to use it?"
Chu River glanced at her and said bluntly, "If you can use it, why can’t a pig?"
Of course, the principle behind blood binding hasn’t been clearly understood yet. If this pig were to sacrifice itself for the country, it would surely have to do so more thoroughly—but there’s no need to elaborate on that, as it wouldn’t be very dignified.
Lei Yu snorted with laughter beside them, while Li Chang’an remained expressionless, waiting for the three experts from the Agricultural Research Institute to arrive before recounting the basic situation that had just occurred.
Two experimenters were still repeatedly studying the Jade Pendant in front of them. If there were ten pendants at this moment, Li Chang’an would definitely conduct a controlled experiment to study various factors like the account binding limits and species.
But there is only this one, and it’s extremely important, so he naturally remains cautious—
"If you’ve finished studying it, I’ll go first."
Assistant Xiao Zhai quickly picked up the document nearby: "Mr. Li, all the specific clauses have been written according to your requirements. This experiment is entirely voluntary. If the pendant truly has such a magical space, you must not use it on your own. Under the guarantee of human rights, you will also be listed as national property..."
These clauses were drafted by Li Chang’an during the research process by several experts. At this moment, he laid out the rights and responsibilities, with clear specifics.
He glanced over the document, memorized all the information, and then signed it without hesitation and pressed his fingerprint.
The laboratory was under surveillance, which could fully demonstrate that his current spiritual state was normal.
After Li Chang’an prepared himself, the experimenter quickly took out a blood sampling needle and collected different drops of blood from his fingertip, chest, and ear.
Song You endured the pain and watched the scene unfold, feeling utterly absurd—after she was reborn, the Jade Pendant’s blood binding was never that elaborate!
The experimenters carefully treated the different blood drops while repeatedly reminding, "Mr. Li, if there are any changes or reactions when each blood droplet is applied, you must give timely feedback..."
On the side, two people whispered, "What do cultivators usually consider? Fingertip blood, heart blood, who knows if it makes a difference..."
The step from science to cultivation is but a short one.
...
Under the tense gaze of everyone, the experimenter first placed the separated red blood cells above the Jade Pendant.
No reaction.
Li Chang’an felt nothing.
Next was the separated serum.
Similarly, no reaction.
Finally, Li Chang’an’s entire drop of blood was carefully dripped above the Jade Pendant.
A peculiar wave surged above the Jade Pendant, and he perked up: "There’s a reaction."
Chu River quickly rushed over: "Quick, quick, quick, I want to be the second one!"
Others had already swiftly signed.
Lei Yu was equally unwilling to be outdone—how could such a significant responsibility be entirely placed on Li Chang’an alone?
"I’m next."
Then he was fiercely stared down by Chu River’s glare.
...
Watching the treated blood droplets being applied one by one, Chu River was filled with curiosity and eager to try.
It’s just signing a contract; she could also be considered national property!
As for everything belonging to the country and not being used privately...she definitely wasn’t that kind of person, at most she’d just touch it and look, she wouldn’t consume it, definitely not.
However, Li Chang’an didn’t trust her.
Chu Aiguo: ...Sigh.
I had intended to serve the country, but Chang An sees me as a mere trench!
The experimenters and the three experts from the Agricultural Research Institute were even more unable to resist this temptation—this was a completely new thing, a new seed!
How could one pass by a treasure mountain and not at least take a single piece?
Song You watched this lively development in shock, watched the crimson blood drops fall one by one, and was left speechless.
The pain of her body was nothing compared to her current mental breakdown.
She struggled, dragging her crippled legs, shaking her head frantically: "What madness is this? How can a blood binding recognize that many masters?"
No one was willing to spare her a thought, yet Chu River was eager: "You say it’s a blood binding so it’s a blood binding? Why don’t you say the blood is just a key to unlock it?"
Before the words were out, the light blue aura surrounding Li Chang’an quickly faded, and his tightly shut eyes suddenly opened—
He looked at Chu River, unable to suppress a rare smile: "Little He, you’re right—the blood is just a key to unlock it."
