Chapter 127: Clean Water in the Sand
"The effect of overall development is naturally not as good as that of targeted development." Ren Lian Lingyi said while eating mushrooms, "If the efficiency of targeted development on certain specific areas of the brain is 100, then the efficiency of overall development is 1, or even less than 1."
"The brain is divided into regions to control the functions of various parts of the body. I have had the same idea as you before. We should focus on strengthening one region of the brain and use other regions of the brain as secondary strengthening targets. Once the brain is developed in this way, the consumption of precious resources for developing the brain will not be too great, and the resources required for subsequent maintenance will also be greatly reduced."
"It sounds good, but in reality, with the current technology in Teyvat, it is simply impossible to do it."
“Although the brain is divided into different regions, the structures of each region are too similar to achieve accurate development with existing technology.”
"If I were to give any advice, it would be to develop a certain aspect, then we need to activate the brain area in that area, and then develop drugs to assist."
“That way the accuracy will be higher.”
"Is that so? That does make sense." Bona stroked his beard. "The operation of the brain consumes nutrients, just like plants absorb nutrients from the earth. So if we add brain-developing ingredients to the nutrients, we can achieve targeted development."
"That's the truth." Ren Lian Lingyi also nodded. "Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's eat. The detailed information will be prepared for you when you leave."
"By the way, how many days will you stay?"
"I'll go to my old place for a few days and then leave."
Lei Dianzhen and others left after enjoying a quarter of the mushroom banquet. They still had official business to attend to, so naturally they didn't have time to enjoy the full mushroom banquet here.
They will enjoy it in the shogunate.
"Speaking of which, Brother Renlian, who is your wife? She seems to be very fierce."
"Ha~ She is a martial arts leader in the shogunate." Ren Lian Lingyi was not wrong, but he did not say that Aying was the biggest martial arts leader in the shogunate and the source of Inazuma's martial arts.
"He's a warrior. No wonder he's so imposing. Her sister looks much more gentle and gentle. She should be in the civil service system, and her status should be higher than that of your wife Aying." Bona drooled as he looked at the mushroom soup.
The mushroom banquet was served relatively slowly, but everyone could understand that, after all, slow work produces fine results.
After hearing what Bona said, Ren Lian Lingyi nodded speechlessly. Bona, you are really good at judging people.
It's just that I'm limited by my mortal eyes, but never mind. It's better not to tell this old man about his identity. If he gets scared, then Ren Lian Lingyi won't know how to save him.
"Is it really not necessary for me to pay a visit to Lord Ming Shen this time?" Ren Lian Lingyi asked.
"I'm already retired, why should I care about these things? I just want to revisit the old place, meet old friends, and finally take the research a step further." Bona said indifferently.
"Then you've come to the right place. The hydrological observatory you built on Renlian Island is still in good condition." Renlian Lingyi said with a smile.
That hydrological observatory is still an important base .
"Oh~" Bona suddenly sighed.
"I was busy as a great sage before, but after I retired, I realized that of my old friends from the same period, only you, Brother Renlian, are still alive and well." Bona smiled helplessly, "There are not many old friends from Mondstadt, Fontaine, and Liyue alive now, and those who are still alive are similar to me, barely surviving. Although those relationships are still there, their families basically don't care about things anymore, and the sons and nephews are in charge, and some are even grandsons."
"When I learned this, I knew I was really old and didn't want to live anymore. I really don't know how you immortals usually deal with such separations."
"Ha~ You've got me stumped by this question. I'm just a monster in my eighties, less than a hundred years old." Ren Lian Lingyi said, "But I do know something, which is mainly the advice from other monster seniors."
"Try to have as little contact with 'mortals' as possible. Monsters have their own circle, and everyone lives a long time. Although things like separation cannot be completely avoided, everyone is strong and has a long life, so such things will naturally happen less often."
"I really envy the circle among the immortal species. " Bona said, "By the way, your wife..."
"Of course she is also a monster, and she is much stronger than me." Ren Lian Lingyi said with a smile.
"That's true. Scholars like us should find a wife who is a militant type. Back then..." Bona continued to talk about how he secretly found a girl named Sha Zhong Jingshui from the Desert Gilded Brigade to be his wife.
He also gave Ren Lian Lingyi some knowledge about the special combat unit of the Gilded Brigade, Shazhong Jingshui.
But his wife died a few years ago due to a recurrence of an old injury. Well, speaking of which, his wife was a dozen years younger than him. Bona got married after he returned from Inazuma. He was probably in his thirties at that time, and Shazhong Jingshui was probably only in his teens. Bona never thought that you, old man, are such a beast.
Ahem, let's get back to business. The Pure Water in the Sand is a group of beings that have taken special herbs and are able to control the water element in the void. They are quite common in the Gilded Brigade in the Sumeru Desert area.
It can even be said that he is an indispensable figure in the Gilded Brigade.
That secret medicine is toxic and will cause hidden injuries to the human body. It is similar to the method used by the samurai family on Inazuma's side to train some low-level warriors. It is very harmful to the human body. However, most of the warriors on Inazuma's side are naturally of thunder attribute, after all, there are so many thunder attribute herbs here.
However, the transformation of that secret medicine has its limits. At most, it can allow people to transcend the realm of mortals (LV50+). If they really want to continue climbing, it still depends on their own efforts. Moreover, the transformation of oneself cannot last long. The most important thing is that it shortens one's lifespan, which is unbearable for Inazuma people who pursue eternity.
This is also the reason why Anko Kano did not use this method to break the limit. To her, this kind of drug transformation is an unclean thing and is disrespectful to her own martial arts.
By the time Kano Anko reached that stage, the influence of martial arts will was really huge. The Sumire Gilded Brigade did not have this mental cleanliness and psychological burden. What they pursued were money, happiness, loyalty and other messy things, so the transformation there was naturally more prevalent.
The consequences are naturally not very good. When you are young, your life energy level may break through LV50+ and make a big name, but it will not work when you are old. Hidden injuries will relapse and your life will be short. If Bona’s wife had not stopped early, and the drug transformation had not been very in-depth, and there were a large number of top doctors treating her in the later period, she would have died long ago.
However, this secret medicine did make Ren Lian Lingyi's thinking more active. He thought of the Kairangui duo that was very common in Inazuma in later generations. Since Kairangui could be cultivated stably, then Inazuma might have some fire-type medicinal herbs that he didn't know about.
