Chapter 110 Gu Zhenjun's Research Report
Jingtai City, where Gu Qingyuan is,

Since the Qi and Blood Martial Arts was promoted in this city, he moved to the city to live, both to collect data and to deduce the Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

噗噗
Xi Jing stretched out his hand and the broken body parts scattered all over the ground. Gu Qingyuan quickly gathered them together.

"Claws, black wings, um, there's also a horn here, what a great harvest." Gu Qingyuan said as he fondly fiddled with the long, black, curved horn with circular patterns, like an evil scientist in a cartoon who did not do his job and only researched weird inventions.

Xi Jing couldn't bear to look at it: "Gu Daoyou, why are you picking up these things? Are you going to eat them?"

"This is a precious sample of the Purple Mansion Tribulation Beast. It would be a waste to eat it directly. But you are right. If there are any scraps left after I finish my research, I can cut some for those mortal warriors to eat." Gu Qingyuan looked as if he had been enlightened by you.

'No, you really plan to eat it.'

Xi Jing shook his head and dispelled the thought: "This is the Purple Mansion Tribulation Beast that invaded from Jieyang City. It died tragically. I know you have always wanted to catch a Purple Mansion Tribulation Beast, so I specially asked for it from Taoist Jinghe."

Gu Qingyuan had also heard about the news that the Purple Mansion Calamity Beast had appeared in Jieyang City. After all, it was the first Purple Mansion since the Calamity Beast disaster.

"How many casualties are there?" Gu Qingyuan used his magic power to hold up the debris on the ground and walked towards the backyard.

Xi Jing followed behind, saying as he walked, "It was a close call. There happened to be a Purple Mansion guarding the city, but he was not very good at fighting. After a while, Jing He arrived and beat the Purple Mansion robbery beast to death."

Not being good at fighting is just a euphemism for lack of strength, and Gu Qingyuan understood it.

He pushed open the small door in front of him, and inside there was a staircase winding downwards.

"Did you dig a basement?" Xi Jing asked curiously.

Gu Qingyuan nodded: "It's a little bigger than the basement."

When the two of them went down to the first floor and saw the vast underground space at a glance, Xi Jing couldn't help but be speechless.

You call a basement that is one-third the size of a city a little bit big?

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly and handed the scraps in his hand to the white-armored general who came to meet him: "Come and see what I have accomplished in the past few days!"

Xi Jing walked forward and saw that this huge space was divided into three areas. The first area was trapped with various kinds of calamity beasts, with forbidden lights flashing, and white-armored generals patrolling back and forth, occupying three-fifths of the entire space.

The second area is a small library, where countless documents and papers are arranged in different categories.

The third area is the smallest, with only a bed and a futon. It should be where Gu Qingyuan rests.

Xijing walked towards the first area and looked at the calamity beast inside through the restriction. The calamity beast was still alive and roared loudly when it saw Xijing approaching.

"Grade A wolf is a calamity beast, one seven thirty-eight." Xi Jing subconsciously read out the sign next to the restriction.

Gu Qingyuan walked to the second area, rummaged through the drawers and boxes, and handed a stack of documents to Xijing.

"This is my newly built test site. It is mainly used to study and explore calamity beasts and qi and blood. This paper contains the characteristics of calamity beasts that I have summarized."

Xi Jing looked at the white paper in his hand: "An overview of the research on the strong growth potential of the calamity beast." He felt a little awkward reading it. After all, when he had read the classics and exercises before, the authors had always written in a mysterious way, and they tried their best to be as profound as possible. At first glance, reading Gu Qingyuan's plain words was a little novel.

As for Gu Qingyuan, he also knew that the style of the report he wrote was somewhat flawed, but research must be extremely detailed and any mistake could lead to uncontrollable results.

"I'm not a real ancient person, so of course I can do whatever comes to my mind."

Gu Qingyuan looked at Xi Jing as if he was watching amusement. Before he achieved Purple Mansion, he had to suppress his nature, and his words and deeds had to be like those of this group of cultivators, for fear of being treated as an alien. Now that he has achieved Purple Mansion, if he still restrains himself, then wouldn't it be a waste of time to achieve this goal?

"According to my research, the transformation of the demon race is closely related to the calamity beasts. It is better to say that the demon race is evolving into the calamity beasts, you see."

Gu Qingyuan led Xi Jing to a mutated monster with a sign that read 'First-class wolf monster, 256'.

"This monster is roughly the same as the calamity beast you saw just now in terms of physiology. If the monster gets rid of its extra limbs, its relatively perfect state would be that of the calamity beast." Gu Qingyuan said, pointing at two similar black wolves.

Xi Jing looked around, but his attention was focused on Wanli: "So this is what you study every day?"

"What else? Do you think I sit on the cushion and meditate every day? Cognition, research, analysis, conclusion, application, isn't this process the same for everything?" Gu Qingyuan nodded disapprovingly.

Xi Jing thought about it and realized that he spent most of his time sitting on the cushion comprehending the principles of Tao and practicing his supernatural powers. But then he thought again that the process of his practicing his supernatural powers was just as Gu Qingyuan said.

He couldn't help but ask, "Have you come up with any results?"

"Of course there is. Isn't Qi and Blood Martial Arts an achievement? Although I have only laid the foundation and the framework, practicing it to the end is equivalent to practicing Qi, but you have sent me the Purple Mansion Tribulation Beast. I will fill it into the framework after I understand it clearly. It's a pity that there is no Purple Mansion sample that was completely transformed from a demon beast, otherwise I can be faster." Gu Qingyuan felt a little regretful.

Xi Jing sighed, "How can it be that easy? The Purple Mansion monsters are few in number, and we killed a wave of them before. Now they dare not even show their heads. Where can we find them? By the way, how come a Purple Mansion monster appeared so quickly?"

As he was talking, Xi Jing remembered the purpose of his visit to Gu Qingyuan. The calamity beast had only the strength of Qi training at the beginning, but it actually produced a purple palace in a short period of time.

"I was just about to tell you this, come and see." Gu Qingyuan connected the restrictions that trapped the two beasts together and stimulated them. The two beasts started fighting and the winner was decided in a short while.

"Although this calamity beast is violent, it can distinguish between friend and foe. If it is slightly stimulated, it will cause a fight between the two beasts. The victorious one will devour the defeated one. After the devouring, its growth rate will increase significantly." Gu Qingyuan took out a piece of paper from Xijing's hand, on which were recorded densely packed lines and curves.

"This is the growth curve I got from a comparative experiment of similar calamity beasts. You can see that the calamity beasts that devour their own kind grow faster. I call this 'co-eating'."

Xi Jing held up the white paper and carefully considered the numerous unfamiliar terms on it: "So according to what you said, the second and third Purple Mansion will soon appear among the robbery beasts?"

"Yes, according to my inference, it should be so. So, can you tell me why you guys are defending the city and not taking the initiative to attack?" Gu Qingyuan couldn't help asking.

Xi Jing was a little embarrassed: "Actually..."

As they were speaking, Xi Jing and Gu Qingyuan turned their heads at the same time.

"Three Purple Mansion Robbery Beasts?" This was Xi Jing, with a serious expression on his face.

"The Purple Mansion demon cultivator transformed into three calamity beasts!" This is Gu Qingyuan, with a look of surprise on his face.
