The last time Xuan Ziweng's achievements were a preliminary summary of the foundational elements of bone patterns. The research team analyzed the patterns of different Soul Bones, hoping to explore a more complete basic element system.
How far has it been refined now?
In addition, Xuan Ziweng himself has launched a rather meaningful research project, which he calls the Bone Tempering and Soul Nourishing technology.
Moreover, there is also the research on spiritual nurturing of Spiritual Metals that Xuan Ziweng has been studying.
Whichever aspect achieves a breakthrough, it would significantly benefit Su Yu.
And since Xuan Ziweng specifically asked Mirror Hongchen to convey to Su Yu to have a look, it surely benefits Su Yu.
...
Entering Xuan Ziweng's laboratory, Su Yu once again saw Xuan Ziweng at work on his research.
Although he said he would seriously cultivate for a few years, Xuan Ziweng still spends his spare time on research. According to him, if he cannot conduct research every day, what is the meaning of living?
"Senior brother, I heard you've made new achievements again."
The laboratory granted Su Yu's ID card access rights, allowing him to enter at will. It wasn't until Su Yu spoke that Xuan Ziweng noticed his arrival.
"Xiaoyu, you're here. Wait for me a moment, let me finish making this sample first."
Su Yu wasn't in a hurry, and while waiting for Xuan Ziweng to continue his work, he began to look through the reports in Xuan Ziweng's laboratory.
"Version 5.0 Foundation Element Table for Bone Patterns."
"Has it already reached version 5.0?" Su Yu marveled at the rapid updates of the Foundation Element Table for Bone Patterns.
This project has only been underway for about two years, right?
Every six months there's a major version update.
A major version likely refers to changes in the arrangement principles of the element table itself, an overall optimization of the layout. Each major version change often means a deeper understanding of these foundational elements.
Besides major updates, there are also minor version updates that come every one to two months.
One cannot deny that the efficiency of this bone pattern research team led by Xuan Ziweng is very high.
Those Soul Guides specializing in Soul Bone and Soul-guiding Technology are also remarkable. With sufficient rewards and ample experimental materials, their work efficiency significantly surpasses that of other Soul Guides.
Su Yu himself leads a Cultivation Method Research Institute. Although he does not visit often, he has a basic impression and can feel the different mental states of the two teams.
"This is the fifth version that just rolled out a few days ago. The arrangement of bone patterns no longer follows the complexity of length, but attempts to arrange based on the effect and association of fundamental elements. This is just the initial sample of the fifth version. The arrangement is not mature enough, and it might take until version 5.9 or 5.19 to clearly organize the logic within it?"
Xuan Ziweng had temporarily completed the work at hand and was introducing this fifth version of the foundational element table to Su Yu.
"This version is likely to last a long time. Studying the relationships between foundational elements is very meaningful for bone pattern research."
"Before the logic of this foundational element table is clarified, it may not be very useful to you. Instead, this Forbidden Element Table might be more suitable for you."
Xuan Ziweng pulled out a corresponding table from the pile of reports.
"Forbidden Element Table?" Su Yu was puzzled. When did this new project launch?
"No, what's recorded here are also some foundational elements, but the difference is these elements are not suitable for bone pattern cultivation, at least not for ordinary people." Xuan Ziweng cleared Su Yu's doubts and began introducing the Forbidden Element Table.
"The foundational elements in the Forbidden Element Table incorporated into bone pattern cultivation demand high physical qualifications from the cultivators. For Soul Masters whose physiques are not up to standard, the effects might be too overwhelming, leading to carrying over inadequacies, and thus triggering a series of hidden dangers."
"These forbidden elements are present in many Soul Bones. However, upon analysis of their effects and properties, we've found that they are all closely related to powerful bloodlines. In weaker Soul Beasts' Soul Bones, there is generally no presence of these forbidden elements. Of course, if such Soul Beasts contain some potent bloodlines, there might be some."
Most forbidden elements are found in powerful Soul Beasts' Soul Bones, possibly key to their formidable physiques, especially the Soul Bones you provided us, which contain the most forbidden elements."
Xuan Ziweng looked at Su Yu and sighed.
Through just the research on forbidden elements, it becomes clear what kind of gains Su Yu must have attained.
These Soul Bones would likely be heavily contested outside.
Rewarded tiger-type Soul Bone from the Soul Fighting Competition, Soul Bone containing powerful Ice Attribute Soul Power, Dragon-type Soul Beast Soul Bone...
"Especially the Dragon-type Soul Beast Soul Bone you handed over two months ago. Although they appear to be sub-dragon species, the Soul Beasts in their previous lives likely had extremely pure bloodlines, with the most discovered forbidden elements."
The unique nature of forbidden elements was truly recognized, and the separate listing of forbidden elements began with the project started after obtaining those three sub-dragon type Soul Bones from Su Yu two months ago.
As the strongest Soul Beast species, Dragon-type Soul Beasts uncovered more forbidden elements from the three Soul Bones than Xuan Ziweng's team had found in two years.
"Senior brother, these forbidden elements can't be used by average Soul Masters, but if one's physique is sufficient, wouldn't cultivation yield better effects?" After hearing so much, Su Yu asked key questions related to his cultivation.
