"The more extraordinary substances related to spiritual will, the better!" Lin Yang asked didn't ask for this for himself.
But it’s what Cang Miao wants.
Cang Miao possesses extraordinary talents related to mental will.
As a member of the Wucang tribe, he needed three times the amount of extraordinary properties materials as normal.
However, materials with extraordinary properties such as spiritual will are relatively scarce.
Originally, he hadn't thought of asking Song Qingfeng for it, but when he saw the look the fat old man gave him just now, he suddenly had the idea.
The look that the fat old man gave him just now was a reminder for him to seize this opportunity and ask for his fortune.
So he was not polite.
It’s always right to listen to the master.
Hearing this, Song Qingfeng was a little surprised: "You need extraordinary substances such as spiritual will? What do you want this thing for?"
"I have a friend who has a special talent in this area." Lin Yang didn't say much.
However, this one sentence was enough to make Song Qingfeng understand why he needed this kind of extraordinary substance.
Song Qingfeng did not ask any more questions, but nodded and said, "In that case, I will find a way to get some for you."
"Thank you, Director."
Lin Yang thanked him, and then told Song Qingfeng that he needed to go home first before carrying out other tasks.
This time he has been in the unknown space for nearly two years, and he plans to go back to Blue Star first.
Song Qingfeng naturally did not refuse this.
Because this was originally an exploration mission to an unknown space, all team members who participated in the exploration mission could rest after it was over.
He just wanted Lin Yang to get more credit and contribution, so he didn't give Lin Yang too much time to rest.
Now Lin Yang just said that he wanted to go back home to visit, so he naturally had no reason not to approve the leave.
Then Song Qingfeng returned to the Alien Management Bureau.
The fat old man said to Lin Yang, "You little brat, why did you only ask Song Qingfeng for so little just now? Why didn't you ask for more? You want that extraordinary substance of spiritual will for the kid from the Wu Cang clan, right?"
"Yes, Master." Lin Yang nodded.
The fat old man knew Cang Miao's situation very well.
As for how much?
He felt that he had asked for enough. It was not easy to get extraordinary materials with spiritual will.
"Hey, you silly kid, what are you embarrassed about?"
The fat old man sighed softly:
"My dear disciple, you have to know that although on the surface it seems that they are helping to train you to take over, in fact, they simply don't have any other better candidates."
"You agreeing to take over the position of the next Director of the Alien Management Bureau is a blessing for the people in their faction. They are eager for your agreement."
"So, you have the absolute initiative. This is not a promotion from a superior to a subordinate. They are begging you. Remember, if you need anything in the future, just ask them. This is what they should give you!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Master. I understand." Lin Yang responded.
"Yeah." The fat old man nodded with satisfaction.
He was really afraid that Lin Yang would suffer a loss.
If it were someone else or under other circumstances, the subordinate would naturally be grateful for the promotion and cultivation given by the superior.
But his beloved disciple is different!
"Master, there is something I want to discuss with you." Lin Yang suddenly said.
"What's the matter?" The fat old man narrowed his eyes slightly, "What are you up to, you little brat? Are you planning to harm something of yours again?"
"...Master, am I that kind of person? How could I harm your things?!" Lin Yang was speechless.
"Aren't you?" The fat old man rolled his eyes.
He still can't forget the scene when Lin Yang ate up layer upon layer of treasures in his refrigerator!
If he had come back a few seconds later, Lin Yang would probably not be able to stand here and talk now.
He's almost bringing disaster to himself!
Isn't that kind of person?
The fat old man felt contempt in his heart.
"Ahem... Master, I really don't mean to harm you this time!"
Lin Yang's face turned red, and he quickly explained:
"I want you to take me to the island where you were fishing. I want to catch a few more fish. Is that okay?"
Cang Miao had said before that the fish meat had a great effect on him.
Therefore, when Lin Yang left, he also told Cang Miao that he would try his best to get him more fish and meat.
Moreover, the fish meat seemed to be useful to the fat old man.
So Lin Yang wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to catch a few more fish.
"fishing?"
The fat old man frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"It's okay for you to go fishing, but my dear disciple, you can only catch three more at most, no more!"
"Master, why is this?" Lin Yang was a little puzzled.
"Well, it's hard to explain to you now. Anyway, you can only catch three more fish at most, and after this one, you can't catch them again for decades."
The fat old man did not explain much, but reminded again.
"Well... well, let's just catch three more."
Although Lin Yang didn't understand, he still planned to do it.
Swish.
The fat old man brought him directly to the center of the island in the middle of the lake.
The fishing rod and bait had already been placed aside.
Judging from the looks of it, the fat old man seems to come fishing often.
But I don’t know whether I caught Lin Yang or not.
"Go ahead and fish, three at most!"
The fat old man gave another reminder.
Lin Yang casually picked up the fishing rod and threw it into the lake, entering a state of meditation, just like the previous two times he went fishing.
Soon, a fish was caught.
A particularly large red-tailed goldfish.
This one was almost as big as the two he had caught before.
The fat old man looked strange when he saw this, and suddenly sighed: "My dear disciple, this one is too big, one is equivalent to two, please catch another one."
"Uh... okay." Although Lin Yang still didn't understand, he still listened to the fat old man and caught the second fish at an extremely fast speed and put away the fishing rod.
And this second fish wasn't much smaller.
"Ugh……"
The fat old man sighed again when he saw this, but he didn't say anything more. He just said, "My dear disciple, that kid from the Wu Cang tribe can't eat so much. Take half of the fish back first. It will be enough for him to eat for a long time. Leave the rest with me to keep for you."
"Okay, Master, you can take care of this fish." Lin Yang said.
He originally wanted to catch a whole fish for the fat old man as well.
"You little brat, you know how to respect your teacher."
The fat old man understood what Lin Yang meant and immediately laughed.
"Master, what's so special about this lake?"
Lin Yang was holding the fish basket, very curious.
It seems difficult for the fat old man to catch fish here, but he finds it easy every time he goes fishing.
Moreover, the fish and fish meat here contain tremendous energy.
These made him confused.
"This is a long story." The fat old man said with a smile, "My dear disciple, you just need to know that this place is special. As for what is so special about it, you will know it later."
"..."
Lin Yang was suddenly speechless.
This rhetoric again!
"Is it really that mysterious?" Lin Yang muttered. The fat old man waved his hand, and the huge fish was split in two, saying:
"This time, you should bring back the fish head and the upper body of the fish. Make soup with the fish head alone. You can drink a small bowl of it. Give the rest, including the fish eyes, to the kid from the Wucang tribe. It will be useful to him."
"Got it, Master." Lin Yang responded.
I didn't ask why I did this.
Anyway, the fat old man must have his own intentions in making such arrangements, and he would not harm him.
After a pause, Lin Yang asked again: "Master, is there any way to extend the lifespan of ordinary people?"
The last time he went back, his mother Zhang Fang already had some gray hair.
Zhao Zizhen and others are also gradually showing signs of aging.
Over the past few years, there has not been much change in his appearance.
But for my mother and Zhao Zizhen and others, the cruelty of time is too obvious.
He really couldn't imagine what would happen if something happened that required him to stay in the universe for more than ten or even dozens of years and then go back to see that everything and everyone had changed.
Normally he tried not to think about that, but avoiding it was not a solution.
Every time I leave the Blue Planet, I stay in the vast universe for several years.
Every time I go back, I see that my mother and others have aged a little.
This made Lin Yang feel very uncomfortable.
Even though he had brought the water of life back before, the water of life could only keep his mother and others healthy and delay aging as much as possible.
It cannot really prolong their lives.
If you want to prolong your life, you have to inject genetic drugs.
But people like my mother simply cannot bear the consequences of injecting genetic drugs.
Their physical condition no longer allows them to inject genetic drugs.
This is also the most helpless thing for Lin Yang.
Even though he himself has now achieved a significant improvement in life span, he can still find other ways to prolong life in the vast universe.
But mom and the others don’t have time to wait!
Hearing this, the fat old man said softly:
"My dear disciple, the life span of ordinary people in advanced civilizations can be extended because they have undergone several or even dozens of generations of genetic evolution, and their life span has improved as their civilization has improved."
"Even if your home planet's civilization has acquired advanced technology because of you, it is still very difficult for ordinary people, especially those who are past the age and physical fitness for injecting genetic drugs, to extend their lifespan."
"Everything in the universe has its own laws of existence and operation, and these laws are difficult to break."
"Technology can be improved rapidly, but other aspects still require a long time to adapt and evolve."
"Life and death are the most inexplicable and ruthless laws of the universe."
"No one wants to die, and everyone wants to live forever, but my dear disciple, you must accept that some people are destined not to be able to accompany you forever."
Lin Yang fell silent.
He understood that the fat old man said this because he wanted him to be mentally prepared in advance.
but……
"Master, I understand the truth, but it is really hard for me to accept it right now."
Lin Yang said truthfully.
If there was no contact with alien civilization, if there was no contact with the universe.
If you don’t know, human life expectancy can be greatly improved.
Then naturally there was nothing difficult for him to accept.
But now, Lin Yang was really unwilling to let his mother and the others' lives slowly fade away.
People are always greedy.
He was no exception.
"My dear disciple, I understand your feelings. However, even if I try every possible way to extend their lives, they will still leave you in the end. Your life will be extended as your strength increases, but they have a limit to their lifespan after all." The fat old man sighed.
"Master, I understand. I just want to give it a try now. As for the distant future, I won't think about it too much for now." Lin Yang said again.
He only hopes to prolong the lives of his mother and others as much as possible.
Even if it's just an improvement of one or two years!
As for the final separation of life and death.
It's good to come a day late.
"Oh, you fool!"
The fat old man sighed, shook his head and said:
"Every young person like you who has walked out of ordinary civilization will face such problems, but as a teacher, I have to tell you that it is better to be mentally prepared as soon as possible."
"Master, is there really no other way?" Lin Yang said in a low voice, unwilling to give up easily.
"Silly boy!"
The fat old man sighed again and said:
"As for methods, it's not that there are no methods at all. The simplest one is to use human body hibernation technology to put them into hibernation. When you really can't hold it anymore and miss them too much, you can wake them up to see them, and then put them back into hibernation."
"With the current hibernation technology, plus the usual use of precious nutrients such as nutrient solution with water of life, it is enough to keep them dormant for thousands of years."
"Even if I wake up once every hundred years, I can still sleep for one or two thousand years."
Lin Yang's expression froze: "Long-term hibernation is too painful for the hibernator."
It's not like he hadn't considered this approach.
But this is the worst solution.
"If there is a better way, the price would be much higher, and the cost performance is extremely low."
The fat old man suggested another solution:
"For example, if you can get a treasure like the Water of Life, and then get ten or eight of them, and then find a Spirit Realm expert to use those treasures to nourish them, this can extend their lives by dozens or even hundreds of years."
"Or, if we find a strong person with spiritual realm-level life characteristics to nourish their bodies every day for decades, we may be able to give them the possibility of receiving genetic medicine transformation, thereby further prolonging their lives."
Lin Yang smiled bitterly instantly.
Both of these methods are harder to implement than climbing to the sky.
Not to mention that treasures of the level of the Water of Life are not that easy to get.
Even if he could get it.
But how easy is it to find a strong person at the spiritual realm level?
They can truly be called ancestors.
It is simply impossible to spend time and energy every day to nourish the body of an ordinary person.
Not to mention the spiritual realm masters who have natural life characteristics.
The talent for life characteristics is one of the three supreme talents. Very few people possess it. Those who can reach the spiritual realm have extremely high status!
How could I possibly do such a thing!
Don't say it's impossible to accept the invitation, even if you can accept it.
He definitely can't afford the price!
Both paths seem difficult, but in fact they are very difficult!
"My dear disciple, I advise you not to think too much. The boundary between life and death is not so easy to break."
The fat old man persuaded again.
Lin Yang was silent in his heart, then suddenly raised his head and said to the fat old man:
"Master, I have life characteristics myself. If I reach the spiritual realm earlier, can't I nourish my mother and the others?"
The fat old man was stunned for a moment, then he said with a smile: "My silly disciple, how can it be so easy to reach the spiritual realm? Even if you have supreme talent, it is still very difficult!"
"As for your family, they will reach the end of their lives in a few decades at most, and you will never be able to reach the spiritual realm level in a few decades!"
"Just the absorption and fusion of extraordinary substances will take decades or even hundreds of years in the end, not to mention that if you want to take the last step, chance and luck are indispensable!"
"Master estimates that if you can reach the Spirit Realm level within two hundred years, it will be extremely amazing!"
"After all, although it is a good thing to have special talents, it is precisely because you have all the special talents that the difficulty of fusing other high-quality extraordinary substances will be doubled!"
"Two hundred years?"
Lin Yang whispered, then shook his head:
"Master, two hundred years is too long. I must reach the spiritual realm within forty years!"
Since the solution is hard to find.
Then he will become a spiritual being!
