"Master, the young master has beco obsessed with SNB research, disregarding the Detoxification Pill and Tianxuan Nine Needles. What should we do?"
Yao Ming helplessly asked Yao buc.
"He doesn’t want them, but we do!"
Yao buc squinted and sneered, "SNB research hasn’t succeeded yet, and it might not ever succeed. Comparing the two, the Detoxification Pill and Tianxuan Nine Needles are much more practical."
"Yes, yes, yes, so should we wait until Tang Ming regains consciousness and then interrogate him?"
Yao Ming eagerly looked at Yao buc.
"Even with the young master’s thods failing to make Tang Xin speak, torturing him might not yield anything either."
Yao buc squinted his eyes and then smiled, "But we could use another approach."
"Like what?"
Yao Ming looked blankly at Yao buc.
"Go find An Zizai!"
Yao buc smirked coldly, then left the laboratory.
In the regular prison of the dicine Sect, An Zizai sat in despair on the floor with shackles on his hands and feet, waiting for death.
Back when Chen Cang went to the An Family, he and An Sheng were rescued by experts and sent to the dicine Sect.
Upon arrival at the dicine Sect, Yao buc and Nangong Tianyue hoped An Zizai could help with SNB research plans, since the sect was lacking talent, and An Zizai was a disciple with decent dical skills.
Facing the invitation from Nangong Tianyue and Yao buc, An Zizai resolutely refused. Though he hadn’t told Chen Cang the truth for the sect’s sake, he would rather die than participate in SNB research that harms countless people.
With An Zizai’s refusal even unto death, Nangong Tianyue and Yao buc were left with no choice but to imprison him.
"Disciple, your master has co to see you."
Yao buc walked to the cell, helplessly looking at An Zizai.
"Master, you don’t need to speak; I absolutely won’t participate in SNB research."
An Zizai lay on the ground, responding firmly.
"Ah, why are you so stubborn?"
Yao buc sighed, "The research on SNB was a decision of the entire sect. As a dicine Sect disciple, why are you unwilling to contribute to the sect?"
"A person should live with a purpose and a refusal of purpose."
An Zizai propped himself up, gritting his teeth, "I refuse to betray the sect to stay true to my conscience; I refuse to participate in SNB research for the sake of my conscience."
"Hmph, for the sake of your conscience, the An Family is down to just you and An Sheng."
Yao buc snorted coldly, "Do you truly wish the An Family to end?"
"I..."
An Zizai moved his lips but then fell silent. Though he wanted to know about An Sheng, he wouldn’t let anyone threaten him using An Sheng’s life.
"Disciple, do you know Tang Xin has been imprisoned in the dicine Sect for a long ti?"
Yao buc shifted the topic and suddenly asked.
"Tang Ming’s brother?"
An Zizai beca suspicious.
He felt guilty about what An Sheng did to help Nangong Tianyue against Tang Ming back then; he didn’t expect Tang Xin also fell victim.
"That’s right! Tang Xin is now locked in the lab, being used as an experintal subject by the young master. Wouldn’t you like to know about his situation?"
Yao buc smiled as he looked at An Zizai.
"Used as an experintal subject, bound to die, you’re way too cruel, to want total extermination."
An Zizai beca agitated.
"No, no, no, Tang Xin is not dead yet, though his existence is worse than death."
Yao buc laughed remindingly, "If you can participate in SNB experints, you might have a chance to get in touch with Tang Xin, maybe even save him."
"Doesn’t it worry you that the young master Nangong might be unhappy with you telling these things?"
An Zizai asked suspiciously.
"Ah! The young master Nangong receives full support from the sect, but there are still divergences between us."
Yao buc sighed, helplessly saying, "Putting all our sect’s future on SNB research is too risky. If the research keeps failing, how will our dicine Sect stand in this world?"
"Master, what do you really an?"
An Zizai doubted, staring at Yao buc.
"It’s simple; I want you to get in touch with Tang Xin. If you can discover the cultivation thod of Tianxuan Nine Needles and the formula for the Detoxification Pill, I’ll ensure both you and An Sheng’s safety."
Yao buc finally went straight to the point, "Moreover, if you have the ability to rescue Tang Xin, your master will not obstruct."
"You still want to participate in that research?"
An Zizai’s face darkened, he had initially rejected very thoroughly, but now considering Tang Xin’s safety, he was tempted.
Also, An Sheng was the only bloodline of the An Family left; if this bloodline could be preserved, the family wouldn’t completely die out.
"I won’t force you this ti; it’s your choice whether to go or not."
Yao buc shook his head, sighed, "You, you’re just stubbornly single-minded! Participating in SNB research is different from exerting effort."
"The disciple is willing to participate in the research."
An Zizai ca to realize and nodded quickly.
"Hahaha, that’s more like it."
Yao buc laughed loudly, "Yao Ming, open the cell and let your senior brother out."
In the poison gas chamber of the laboratory, the unconscious Tang Ming, his body still swollen and ungainly, though comatose, his internal SNB still functioning.
Yet, each ti Tang Ming went into a coma, the mutated Dust Gu within him automatically rallied against SNB, growing stronger during the struggle.
When Tang Ming regained consciousness, his body had returned to normal, the floor covered in discarded dead skin and a heap of blood stains.
"Survived another round."
Tang Ming propped himself up, silently checking his body.
During the coma, the mutated Dust Gu had completely eliminated all residual SNB in his body, and his cultivation had dramatically improved.
When first imprisoned, his intact Dantian could only exert four or five-star potential. Having undergone nurous genetic dicine experints, his cultivation had risen to Seven Stars Peak.
Even his damaged Dantian had restored under the stimulation of poisons; however, normal Dust Gu could absorb very limited genetic poison, encountering SNB attack, normal Dust Gu would close the Dantian for self-protection.
"Haha, Nangong Tianyue considered a perfect experintal subject, yet I view him as an endlessly growing tool."
After inspection, Tang Ming sneered, stood, and walked to the food area to start eating.
Nangong Tianyue, through his body, continuously improved and refined SNB, yet each refinent of SNB turned into untraceable poison for Tang Ming.
For Tang Ming, who cultivates Poison Skills, these ever-improving genetic poisons are unused tools for reaching higher cultivation.
If he were in the city, it would be hard to find such fierce poisons even with great effort; now, here daily indulging without effort, is too enjoyable.
