At first, they all thought it was fake.
But at this moment, witnessing the divine scene of walking on water and riding the wind, they believed.
They believed that there truly were immortals in this world.
’There are still regrets.’
Back on the Spirit Cultivation Ship, Zhang Feng felt a bit of regret because he hadn’t yet experienced a close "boarding battle" in this world.
If he had known, he should have sought out pirate ships early on, perhaps experiencing the thrill of combat with weapons.
But now things were as they were, and he had arrived here.
So he should hurry and get to work, to find Sea God Island.
Zhang Feng had just asked a few pirates, and Sea God Island was not far from here.
The Spirit Cultivation Ship was untiring.
After "eliminating" the legendary pirates, it headed towards Sea God Island.
Because there was much setup in the initial stages.
In less than an hour.
The Spirit Cultivation Ship truly seemed like an arrow, arriving at the outskirts of Sea God Island.
Zhang Feng saw that this island wasn’t large, just a few thousand square meters.
But there weren’t many ships here, only a few small boats, so it didn’t seem crowded.
However, upon first hearing the name.
Zhang Feng thought it was a large island, and the island master might be called Sea God.
Or perhaps it was someone from the West or something.
Upon reaching the shore.
Zhang Feng didn’t let the crew follow, but stepped onto the island alone.
Because here, a small queue was forming, with some people using sharp daggers to cut open their forefingers, dripping a few drops of blood onto a stone in the center of the island.
The stone was about half a person’s height, entirely black, and surrounded by what looked like a pile of random stones.
It didn’t seem particularly magical.
However, from a distance, it did look like some ancient shrine.
And there were crooked images drawn all around.
Overall, it seemed useless, with no spiritual qi fluctuations or symbols.
But it appeared a bit strange.
Zhang Feng was slightly amazed.
Because when people’s blood dripped on the stone, after about ten minutes, threads of spiritual qi emerged from the stone’s surface.
’What is the principle behind this?’
Zhang Feng paused, not expecting this seemingly strange shrine to actually be a "Life Spirit Array".
After these people left, Zhang Feng approached a little, observing the stone carefully.
When he couldn’t understand it.
Zhang Feng used his qi force to force out a few drops of his own blood, dripping it onto the stone for an experiment.
Zhang Feng was one hundred percent sure there were no spiritual qi fluctuations around.
It was the material of the stone that reacted with the blood of living beings, generating spiritual qi as a kind of "chemical reaction". The rightful source is novel[f]ire.net
After closely examining the material.
Zhang Feng discovered it was a low-density stone, and it was artificially made.
Or rather, it was originally just a normal Quercus stone.
But after being watered with blood for a long time, it became .
However, under normal circumstances, even if a stone was watered, it wouldn’t turn out this way.
Zhang Feng pondered, feeling there was an issue.
Then reverse reasoning.
In a moment, Zhang Feng concluded that it must be everyone’s "blood" that was problematic, or perhaps it was the issue of spiritual qi in this world?
And then it allowed this stone to produce spiritual qi?
But no matter how it was said, in reality, there is no spirit.
This "stone spirit method" seems to be able to compensate for the lack of spirit in reality?
Zhang Feng decided to learn and try to figure out the reason.
After all, in literature, there wouldn’t be a "worthless search" for no reason.
Like searching for honored guests and various people, they are all "powerful".
This array might be replicable in reality.
Then next, if his guess was correct, he could first rule out the reason of spiritual qi in this world.
Because it’s absent in reality.
If he wanted to replicate it, it must be that "everyone’s blood" was problematic.
After that, to ensure the perfection of this plan, he needed to study the blood of people in this world and see how it differed from people in the real world.
Starting today, begin with "blood".
The experimental subjects were his ship’s crew.
They were tall and strong, with excellent constitution.
Every day, taking turns, each person donating a liter of blood for him to study shouldn’t be a problem.
The study of blood counted as a new discipline.
But it’s also an aspect of bodily functions.
Zhang Feng hadn’t studied it carefully before.
Precisely because of this specialized research.
His crew were fine, but their arms were full of needle marks.
Among the hundred villagers of the Ming Dynasty, there were also 1 or 2 from each.
But through their selfless contributions and comparisons.
Zhang Feng discovered a major discovery, which was that people in this world were indeed different from the "normal people" in reality.
Their blood contained a faint "special substance".
It was this "substance" combined with "normal blood" that made the stone produce "spiritual qi".
As for normal blood, it was no problem.
In reality, blood could be artificially synthesized, not considered heretical.
Furthermore, it might be some element within the blood, combined with this substance and the stone, that resulted in a chemical spiritual qi reaction.
And this "special substance" wasn’t seen through a microscope or such, as this world didn’t have precise research equipment.
Though microscopes existed, the magnification was too low.
Couldn’t see this special substance.
The reason it could be observed now.
Was because Zhang Feng used a "blood refining" body tempering practice, coupled with the perception of spiritual qi, that he deduced the people of this world had a special substance in their blood.
