Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

Qiankun Realm.

In the natal laboratory.

"After the natal star mutates, it will conform to the laws of heaven and earth according to its own law power, forming strange rules."

Gregor Mendel, wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, is currently the person in charge of the Ming Dynasty's "Benming Project". With his hands in his pockets and a calm expression, he stands in front of a huge glass ball, listening to the cold report from the spirit in his ears.

Gregor Mendel was born in the 200th year of the Jiajing reign, in a small county town in the French Provincial Administration.

He himself did not have any special talent in cultivation, so he was determined to learn cultural subjects well since he was young, so as to become a great scientist and cultivate immortality.

Because he knew that if he wanted to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, he, who was born in an ordinary family, would not have enough cultivation resources to polish his natal object.

Therefore, he faced two outcomes: either he could change his destiny, but the cost of changing his destiny was too huge and his family could not afford it.

Otherwise, one can only be admitted to Daming Xianfu University through excellent academic performance.

At the beginning, "Da Ming Xian Fu University" did not have the word "University" at the end about three hundred years ago. Its original name was "Da Ming Xian Fu". It was changed to its current name after the education reform of the Imperial College.

If we talk about the best universities in the entire Ming Dynasty world, there are many, such as Nanjing Xianfu University, and the Xianfu Universities under the jurisdiction of various provincial governments are all very good.

But the real core, whether in terms of the teaching staff of immortal cultivation, or the status in the three realms of business, politics, and immortality, there is only one university that no one can match, and that is the Daming Immortal Palace University.

Because this is a place dedicated to cultivating the foundation for the Immortal Dynasty, the students here began to accept all the smartest creatures from all the heavens and worlds as early as two hundred years ago.

These creatures, no matter what race you are, even if you are a transformed spirit beast, as long as you obtain household registration in the Daming world and are admitted to the "Daming Immortal University", you can study there.

Over the past hundreds of years, countless creatures of all races have walked out of here and been transported to various parts of the Great Ming Dynasty and the outer star worlds.

Gregor Mendel, relying on his clever mind since childhood, went all the way from the French Provincial Government and was admitted to Nanjing Xianfu University on his own strength.

Later, because of his outstanding talent in genetics, he was admitted to Mingke Academy.

Along the way, Gregor Mendel's level of practice continued to break through because he entered the "Mingke Academy".

By accident, he came into contact with natal transplantation and learned the concept of natal inheritance, and then he devoted himself to the research.

It took him several decades, and with the recommendation of the Ming Academy of Sciences, he was able to enter his natal laboratory and become a researcher in the most mysterious department of the Ming Dynasty.

It took several more decades, and because of his outstanding performance in the development and research of his natal weapons, he was appreciated by Leeuwenhoek, one of the heads of his natal laboratory.

This is how we have come to this point step by step.

The Ming Dynasty launched its own weapons into the world of immortal cultivation. The era of war arrived. The own weapons created a huge and strange plague in the entire world of immortal cultivation.

However, even the Ming Dynasty did not expect that the strange plague caused by the natal weapon, after being discovered by the major forces in the world of immortal cultivation, began to resist and seek solutions.

As a result of some accident, the weirdness got completely out of control.

What is the life weapon? It is to find the origin of the life, destroy the laws of the life of the cultivator, make the laws collapse, and finally achieve the effect of bursting the life, or abolishing the cultivator's cultivation.

According to Daming's initial research, it is controllable.

But in the world of cultivating immortals, the way of immortals has developed to this day, and the foundation accumulated over countless years is not something that can be easily discarded.

Soon, countermeasures appeared, but unfortunately, regarding the research on one's destiny, even though the world of immortal cultivation has a deep foundation, it is ultimately not as profound as the Ming Dynasty in this regard.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has the time weapon Qiankunjing.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty had proposed the idea and concept of combining cultivation with science to create a new "Tao" a long time ago, and it has begun to develop vigorously in the Qiankun territory.

Therefore, after determining that the natal weapon would be used in future battlefields, it began to develop towards the war route.

The Nascent Soul Laboratory combines the genetic technology in the scientific field with the Nascent Soul Laws of the cultivation system to create multiple versions of natal weapons.

The principle that what can be gained here can be lost here is extremely applicable no matter what kind of world it is.

Although the world of immortal cultivation is not as good as the Ming Dynasty in the research of the way of life, with the blessing of profound foundation, it can still suppress the damage of the life weapons to the life of the cultivators in a short period of time.

However, this approach resulted in the internal laws of the natal weapon responding and combining with the laws of heaven and earth after being put into use, thus giving birth to a new and strange law.

This strange rule is so complicated that even the Ming Dynasty is helpless in the short term.

Not only that, the strange rules are constantly iterating, upgrading, and optimizing like a virus, and their power is becoming stronger and stronger!

Daming’s mission is to use the laboratory, which can analyze, crack and provide solutions from the very beginning.

But a hundred years have passed and it has completely gotten out of control!

Even for the cultivators of the Ming Dynasty, once they are invaded by the strange plague, it would be difficult to escape, unless they could change their life force in the first place, and the possibility of success of this process is very low.

Even if Lu Fang took action personally and replaced the life force of a monk infected with the plague in the special environment of the Mingming Plateau, he could not say that the success rate would be 100%.

Therefore, the current Daming Benming Laboratory has been working hard to crack and control the strange plague.

Gregor looked at the huge glass ball in front of him, or more precisely, a secret space that had already taken shape, with admiration in his eyes, and couldn't help but say:
"After combining some of the laws of the real world, it can actually evolve independently into a small secret world..."

"It's really incredible!"

Yes, this secret space is independently formed within the Qiankun territory. In other words, it is artificially created. However, it is the strange destiny that created this secret little world.

"How is the preparation of the third experimental team going?"

Gregor asked the student who was walking towards him without even turning his head.

"Teacher, we're ready." The speaker was a young man who looked to be about twenty years old and was also wearing a white coat, black-framed glasses, and had his hair combed meticulously.

After the young man finished speaking, he paused for a moment, turned his head and looked inside the sphere, at the quiet town as night fell, and then added, "Teacher, among the six people in this experimental group, there is one person who is quite special."

"Special?" Gregor finally turned his gaze away from the secret world and looked at his students.

"This man's name is Han Feng..." the young man said, handing a piece of information to Gregor.

As the student talked, Gregor also saw the basic information about this Han Feng written in the materials.

The students nearby also started to explain at the right time.

Although in the Ming Dynasty, anyone who can enter the court for public office, especially departments with a certain status, the minimum admission requirement is almost the foundation-building stage, which means that everyone has divine consciousness.

When subordinates report some documents or files to their superiors, the superiors can see everything at a glance, but the subordinates have to be sensible and explain from the side.

These things are especially applicable in official circles.

Although this kind of trend in the new era makes some young people uncomfortable, once they enter the officialdom, or some chambers of commerce or companies affiliated with the court, they must adapt to local customs.

Apparently, Gregor's students understood this well.

"According to the requirements for recruiting the experimental group several times, all of them are death row prisoners from various places. As long as they can pass the experiment, they will be allowed to serve the court and their lives will be spared."

"This Han Feng was once a centurion of the Jinyiwei. However, fifty years ago, he went to the Xiuxian World to perform a mission and was infected by the plague. At that time, the third type of plague had just mutated, so Han Feng was lucky."

"After Elder Li and his men personally interfered with the power of time in the Qiankun realm, their original destiny was successfully replaced."

"After that, after observing him and finding no other problems or any extra experimental value, he was allowed to leave. However, he was later fired when he returned to the Imperial Guard."

"Dismissed?" Gregor looked at Han Feng's file, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and said: "I remember that the Jinyiwei only belongs to the emperor, right?"

"Then the Jinyiwei went to the Xiuxian world to carry out a mission, which should be the order of the prince. So this centurion was expelled by the prince's lineage? Do you know what mission he was carrying out?"

"I'm not sure. When we were investigating, the spiritual network prompted that we didn't have enough authority." The student shook his head and said.

"Insufficient authority?" Hearing this, Gregor's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he said to himself: "The only people with higher authority than my laboratory are the emperor, the crown prince, the first and second assistants of the cabinet, and a few eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department."

"It seems that the mission carried out by this Jinyiwei is not simple." After saying that, Gregor shook his head slightly and changed the subject, saying: "Then how did Han Feng become a death row prisoner?"

Knowing that the teacher was unwilling to talk too much about the Jinyiwei and everything related to the upper echelons of the court, the student was also very sensible and did not continue, but continued:

"Although we don't know why he was expelled from the Imperial Guard, he disappeared for a while after being expelled. It seems that he went outside the domain and was employed by some chambers of commerce. Basically, he is living the life of a casual cultivator."

With the increase in the number of major technology companies in the Ming Dynasty world that combine cultivation with technology, many chambers of commerce, families, and companies will specifically hire some cultivators to go outside the domain to mine materials.

After all, many families, chambers of commerce, and companies maintain specialized teams of monks to mine resources outside their domains.

Although there are not so many resources for cultivating immortals in outer space, many special materials are still very good for refining equipment or developing some new technological products.

Some shuttles, spaceships, warships, weapons, buildings, and all industrial consumables can be found outside the domain.

"A year ago, he and his team went to a frozen star world outside the domain to mine a batch of materials. Then a conflict broke out and he killed everyone in the team by himself."

"He was later sentenced to death in Songjiang Prefecture."

"The local government, considering that he used to be the Imperial Guard and it is not easy to offend, and we need a batch of experimental subjects, so Han Feng was sent here." "Imperial Guard..." muttered softly, Gregor frowned instinctively, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Jinyiwei, few people in this world like it!

"Teacher, this Jinyiwei killed many people, and he prevented Songjiang Prefecture from executing them easily. It is obvious that this person must have some connections with the Jinyiwei behind him..." the student said with some hesitation in his tone.

"It doesn't matter," Gregor waved his hand and said, "So what if I'm a Jinyiwei? My natal laboratory belongs directly to Eunuch Lu!"

"Eunuch Lu is now a powerful immortal. Even if Lu Bing, the leader of the Jinyiwei and Xianwuwei, comes in person, he can't do anything to him. Moreover, Eunuch Lu is your majesty's personal eunuch."

"It's not the Jinyiwei's turn to act recklessly in this laboratory." After saying that, Gregor waved his hand and said, "Go and make the arrangements."

"Yes!" After getting the teacher's definite answer, the student's worries were completely put to rest. He took a deep breath, turned around, held his chest high, and strode away.

"How can we break this strange rule..." A special experimental subject cannot affect Gregor.

For him, what he needs to study thoroughly now is how to break through the current strange and mutated laws of destiny and find a solution before the emperor comes out.

Otherwise, in the future, if the Ming Dynasty completely accepts the world of immortal cultivation, the rampant weirdness will sooner or later become an unstable factor for the court.

"Buzz!" At this time, a ray of light appeared in the huge ball of light, and then the holographic real-life map of the entire town appeared in front of Gregor.

The sky was dark.

The orange sunlight in the distance was fading rapidly.

From a distance, the town seemed to be empty and the whole town was eerily quiet. As the sunlight gradually disappeared, the world was soon shrouded in darkness.

There was only the faint white crescent moon that appeared and disappeared in the sky, and the faint starlight around it.

"Swish, swish, swish!" At the entrance of the town, as a teleportation array flashed by, six death row prisoners, both men and women, young and old, dressed differently, appeared one by one.

As these death row prisoners appeared, the white lanterns hanging on both sides of the stone gate suddenly lit up with orange light.

After a while, lights seemed to be turned on in the town, and there were also some noisy sounds.

Gradually, the noise became clearer.

Through the stone gate you can see the streets and alleys, and people coming and going.

But what was strange was that although someone was clearly seen walking towards the town entrance, no one walked through the stone gate.

The six of them, all cultivators, were not unfamiliar with this.

Knowing that they are now outside the secret realm, the stone gate in front of them is the entrance to the secret realm barrier.

In fact, this road inside does not lead to the outside world.

"Huaiyin Town?"

A skinny old man with a hunched back, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building, had a pipe in his mouth. With a puff of smoke, the smoke surrounded him, hiding his face.

He took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes and looking up at the plaque on the stone gate at the entrance of the town.

When the other men, women, old and young saw this, they also looked up, and then dispersed in silence, looking around.

Seeing this, the only old man who spoke among the six people looked around and grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. Well, it is rare for a cultivator to have such a mouthful of yellow teeth.

“Young man…” The old man smiled and shook his head.

In the crowd, a young man, about 1.8 meters tall, with a strong body, dark complexion and some stubble on his face, walked to the side silently.

This young man was none other than the former captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Han Feng, a talented cultivator who had reached the Golden Core Stage.

Han Feng's target was the white stone tablet buried by weeds not far from the stone gate.

Soon, others noticed him and came over.

"Rules of Huaiyin Town?" A blond and blue-eyed little boy in a well-fitting suit exclaimed.

Soon, everyone's eyes turned to the inscription.

But as they watched, everyone's expressions became solemn.

The only ones who could keep a calm expression were Han Feng and the old man with a mouth full of yellow teeth.

However, at this moment, the two of them couldn't help but look solemn.

The inscription reads:

1. Notice for entering the town

You must check into an inn before 3:30 pm. The inn with white lanterns hanging from the eaves of the "Huangyangyi" in the west of the town is a safe place to stay. If you see a red lantern, no matter what the innkeeper says, you cannot enter.

After entering the town, you must take three incense sticks in front of the City God Temple and stain the end of the incense with the blood of your left ring finger. If you are stopped by an old woman selling kites, you must bury your bronze mirror under the third blue brick on the east side of the locust tree in front of the temple.

2. Taboos of Night Travel

After midnight, if you hear children playing in the alleys, you must immediately turn around nine times on the spot, silently saying "go home, go home".

Remember! Do not use the lanterns given by the townspeople for lighting, as those lanterns contain eyelashes from living people.

If you see a woman in a red wedding dress sitting alone on the bridge, you must throw all the silver and money you carry with you into the river.

If she suddenly gets up and chases you, you must bite your tongue and smear the blood on the back of your neck, because the thing lying on your back is more terrifying than the one chasing you.

3. Daily Rules

At the hour of Mao every day, you must draw a half-cut vermilion talisman in front of the inn door, with the head of the talisman facing east.

The talisman paper must be jute paper provided by the inn's accountant. It cannot be replaced with rice paper, as rice paper will attract paper money covered with spells.

If you see an old man selling dough figurines at the market, you can only buy white animal dough figurines. If he insists on giving you a painted Arhat dough figurine, you must quietly break off his left little finger when you take it.

4. Rules of Sacrifice
You must attend the festival on the first day of every month, but you must stand in the seventh row of the crowd. If you find yourself squeezed to the front row, you must immediately tear off your clothes and tie a knot around your forehead, which is the mark of a scapegoat.

If the three sacrificial animals suddenly open their eyes, you must pretend not to see anything.

If the three animals speak, they should ask in return, "Are you looking for Li Er's Ah Fu?"

It is looking for the baby that should have been sacrificed thirty years ago.

5. Tips for escape
If you find that no bronze mirror in the town can reflect a person, quickly go to the back alley of the City God Temple to look for the black donkey with a bronze bell tied to it.

Remember! If the donkey's eyes shed tears, follow it and run eastwards, and never look back.

In an emergency, you can tear up the peach charm on the door lintel, but every inch you tear will cause your memory to fade. When the entire charm turns to dust, you will forget why you came here.

Note: Remember, if there are locust flower patterns embroidered with green thread on the cuffs of the townspeople, then human skin is sewn under the skin.

If they offer you tea, you must turn the tea bowl three times before drinking. The birth date of your biological mother is engraved on the bottom of the bowl.

There are five rules in total, plus an additional note.

"I think you have all finished reading it," the hunchbacked old man who had spoken first spoke again at this time, "I have seen this kind of situation on the Internet before."

"I'm sure you're all familiar with this." As he spoke, the old man with yellow teeth suddenly laughed softly, and said to everyone present, "According to the strategies revealed by those who have participated in the experiment in the past, the difficulty of these strange scenes is determined by one's strength."

"That is to say, the higher the level of the people participating in the experiment, the more difficult the scene will be."

"The people in the lab only have one request for us, which is to make it to the end. Only in this way can we obtain a new identity and a new life."

"Even if you don't consider ourselves, you must go all out for the sake of our descendants!"

"What do you want to say?" A short-haired woman looked at the old man and said, "Why not just say it directly?"

Except for Han Feng, the other three also nodded.

"First of all, I hope that after we enter the town, we can unite. Whoever finds clues can share them with each other and overcome the difficulties together. The person who brought us here did not say that we cannot form a team."

"Next, I hope everyone will report their cultivation levels. Those with the highest cultivation levels can take the initiative to take on the task of guarding."

"My name is Li Huaizhong, and I am in the late foundation building stage." After saying this, the old man looked at the others silently.

"Su Nan, the initial stage of foundation building." The short-haired woman also spoke, and then stood with the old man.

By doing this, she indicated that she agreed to cooperate. (End of this chapter)
