"Is the sense of smell of the Vidyadharas really that good? I have never heard of Vidyadharas having any specialization in this area before."
Ruan Mei bent down and tapped Bai Zhi's nose.
"Don't treat me like a child!"
"Hehe, alright, after all, you are now the Dragon Lord and General of the Immortal Ship."
Ruan Mei smiled slightly.
"So, why did Aruan come to me and participate in this transformation ceremony? This ceremony is not cheap."
"I just heard that some people can transform other life forms into Vidyadharas, so I was a little curious and paid some money to participate."
"After all... the Vidyadharas are a rather special race. Even if I have made some small achievements in biology, I am powerless to increase the population of this race."
Ruan Mei said calmly, “The Chiming race is different from ordinary carbon-based beings. As the offspring of immortals, the Chiming are born with the talent of reincarnation. If we don’t consider the loss of memories, they are basically immortal.”
Moreover, it seems that the current Vidyadharas (wisdom-holders) also have some methods to awaken memories of past lives.
But some time ago, when she was passing by the Black Tower space station, she overheard a researcher mentioning this in private.
She didn't really believe it at first, after all, the previous Dragon Lord Danfeng had gone to great lengths, using the flesh and blood of the Abundant Envoy, to create a wicked dragon, and only then did Bailu come into being.
The conditions required for this are simply astonishing.
Now, by simply paying a huge fee and passing the audit, one can become a member of the Vidyadhara tribe, which sounds more like a telecommunications fraud.
Therefore, she didn't pay attention to these things at the time.
What made her take it seriously was that a biological material supplier she had previously interacted with suddenly told her mysteriously that he had become a Vidyadhara and was no longer suffering from the torment of lifespan.
She knew the supplier of the biomaterials; as one of her brilliant suppliers, the other party's biological knowledge was not low.
To be precise, they are among the top in the entire universe.
The other party certainly didn't say that casually.
So she visited the supplier and found that he had indeed been converted into a Vidyadhara. She even used instruments to examine his body and found no problems.
This is indeed a normal member of the Vidyadhara clan.
This piqued her interest, so she asked the supplier about the conversion to Vidya.
Although the other party was somewhat curious as to why she, a long-lived being blessed with abundance, would care about this, the supplier did not keep anything to himself and directly explained the relevant situation, and also gave the dragon master's personal contact information.
She then disguised herself, paid the money, and passed the test.
She just hadn't expected that while it was true that other races could be transformed into the Vidyadhara race, the person being transformed was actually Bai Zhi.
The supplier only told her that it was a mysterious dragon deity.
"So, Ah Ruan, do you want to transform? I feel like it's unnecessary."
As a long-lived species blessed by abundance, Ruan Mei's lifespan is much, much longer than that of ordinary Vidyadharas.
"Although I'd like to give it a try... after witnessing the changes in that android before and after, I think I need to think it over."
Ruan Mei shook her head. Actually, she initially wanted to give it a try because such a transformation would definitely be amazing. Perhaps through this racial transformation, she could glimpse some secrets about reproduction, abundance, and even immortality.
However, after briefly examining the android, she realized something: Bai Zhi's transformation seemed to be irreversible. Even with her technology, she might not be able to restore her to her original race after the transformation.
"That's a real shame. If A-Ruan were to transform, she'd have to listen to me, okay?"
"Heh heh, little guy, do you think you're some kind of enlightened emperor?"
Ruan Mei smiled. Even for a Dragon Lord of Wisdom, the status is more like that of a clan leader than an administrative position. It's just that Dragon Lords generally possess power beyond that of ordinary Wisdom Lords to ensure the execution of their will.
"Hmm...maybe."
Bai Zhi blinked.
Ruan Mei was taken aback, then thought of Bai Zhi's behavior just now, "It was my oversight... With such abilities, you truly deserve the title of Emperor of Wisdom."
The hopes for the entire race's population growth rest on Bai Zhi's shoulders. No emperor held a more powerful bargaining chip than this, for it truly represented the race's future.
Just like before, when Danfeng committed countless atrocities, a new Vidyadhara was born. But for Baizhi, it was an easy matter.
Even if it's just because of this, those dragon masters would probably be like loyal dogs, surrounding their master and doing anything for Bai Zhi.
"Would you like to go out for a stroll together, A-Ruan? By the way, I'm having my general's coronation ceremony tomorrow, would you like to come with me?"
"The General's Coronation Ceremony..."
Ruan Mei opened her mouth, intending to say no, but for some reason, her arm started to feel faintly hot again.
A slight warmth stirred her calm heart a little faster.
She sighed and changed her mind, saying, "Alright, you little one, you've grown up so fast, it's worth it for me to participate."
"Hehe, I'm quite honored that a member of the Genius Club is here for my coronation ceremony."
"However, Ah Ruan, you study biology, right? Coincidentally, I recently developed a drug. Would you like to try and crack it?"
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and asked.
"It's that youth-preserving pill, isn't it?"
Ruan Mei chuckled lightly, "I've heard that the drug has made a good name for itself among many research institutions."
"So you've heard about it too, Ah Ruan. I thought you lived a secluded life, oblivious to the world."
“I have connections with some scholars in some decent academic societies, and they shared with me the relevant scanning data of that youth-preserving pill.”
"What was A-Ruan's opinion?"
Bai Zhi was a little curious. It was normal that the group from the Bo Shi Society couldn't solve it, but geniuses were still different from those guys.
"My assessment... is that the encryption method is more advanced than the drug's effect. I can create something similar to the drug's effect, but your encryption method is very interesting and has great research value."
Chapter 964 Ruan Mei's Great Interest in Angelica
"As expected of Aruan, you can easily create something similar. However... I have another medicine here, which may not be something you could create, Aruan."
Seeing that Ruan Mei was interested in this, Bai Zhi began to guide her gradually.
"Oh?"
Ruan Mei showed interest. She knew that although Bai Zhi was a little lecher, she should still have some real skills.
The data related to that youth-preserving pill shows that Angelica dahurica has considerable expertise in this area.
Although they are not biologists like myself, we still have some similarities.
Angelica dahurica is said to be a medicine that one cannot create, so it must have something special about it.
"Would you like to see it, A-Ruan?"
"Um……"
Ruan Mei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Bai Zhi took out the Nine-Turn Golden Pill. "If you take the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, it will probably transform you into another form of immortal being, with a lifespan of about tens of thousands of years."
Biologically speaking, immortals are indeed a different species from ordinary people; the term "ascension" is not just a figure of speech.
"A single pill that can transform a person into an immortal being... Is it the Elixir of Immortality from the Pill Refining Bureau?"
Ruan Mei was a little curious.
After all, when it comes to transforming into an immortal species, the immortal elixir of immortality from the Immortal Ship is the expert.
"How could that be? This thing isn't made from the fruit of the Jianmu tree. It's fundamentally different from the Abundance Blessing. It achieves immortality through other means."
"And it will also greatly increase combat power, probably to the level of a high-level Destiny Walker, and he won't even need to eat."
Ruan Mei showed an interested expression. If the elixir of immortality wasn't made from the fruit of the Jianmu tree, but rather achieved through other means, it wouldn't be possible under normal circumstances.
"Here"
Bai Zhi spread her hands out and held them out to Ruan Mei.
"Just give it to me?"
Ruan Mei was somewhat surprised, "Doesn't this trigger the laws of the Immortal Ship?"
"Will Aruan worry about me too? But don't worry, I am the Dragon Lord and a general, and Aruan wouldn't turn around and report me after getting the medicine, would she?"
Making someone gain immortality does indeed violate the laws of the Immortal Ship, but according to those laws, her transformation into a Vidyadhara could also be considered granting immortality, but obviously no one would care about this matter.
"All I need to do is grant you one request."
"You little rascal..."
Ruan Mei wasn't surprised at all. "Do you want some reward?"
"As expected of A-Ruan~ Her genius mind is really useful, so, is that alright?"
Ruan Mei's cold eyes swept over Bai Zhi from head to toe. "As a member of the Vidyadhara clan, your immortal destiny has been torn apart. Logically speaking, that desire shouldn't be so strong."
Because the path of procreation was torn from the path of immortality, most of the Vidyadharas, the descendants of immortality, are rather indifferent to this aspect.
However, she felt that Bai Zhi was not like a typical member of the Vidyadhara clan in this respect; she was small in stature but had great ambitions.
"It's probably because I'm a fire dragon, and I have a lot of fire in my body."
Bai Zhi stood with her hands on her hips and said confidently.
Few people can resist Nguyen Mai's magnificent face, and she was no exception.
Especially Ruan Mei's aloof temperament, coupled with her somewhat indifferent face, always stirred up Bai Zhi's anger.
Moreover, her beloved master, Laozi, had said that her condition was normal and that she should not only not suppress it, but rather release it more often, which would be good for her health.
"Besides, Ah Ruan is so beautiful, who wouldn't like her?"
Ruan Mei's lips curled up slightly. "You little rascal, you're too superficial. You're obsessed with appearances. That's just an appearance. There's no difference between beauty and ugliness."
"No, no, no, I don't like just anyone!"
Bai Zhi shook her head. In this universe, there is never a shortage of good-looking people. With her status and strength as the Dragon Lord, she could have any good-looking person she wanted.
With just a word from her, the beautiful women who run over can circle the entire Luofu Immortal Ship several times over.
With the world's advanced medical aesthetics technology, cosmetic surgery is practically commonplace. Transforming oneself into an angelic-looking person is an easy feat.
But the beautiful girls she likes are all both beautiful and intelligent, like her beloved Silver Wolf, as well as Hanabi and Tamamo-no-Mae.
If it were someone else with no substance or special qualities, even if they stood naked in front of her, she wouldn't give them a second glance.
"And if there's no difference..."
Bai Zhi reached out and touched a small ornament on Ruan Mei's body.
"boom"
The little trinket suddenly turned into a caterpillar.
"Look...wait a minute, Aruan, why are you picking up the caterpillar to examine it?"
Bai Zhi originally intended to use this caterpillar, which was transformed from a small ornament, to demonstrate beauty and ugliness, but she found that Ruan Mei's eyes lit up as she picked up the black caterpillar with her bare hands and carefully examined it in her palm.
"A wondrous ability... Do you turn inorganic matter into real living things?"
Ruan Mei poked at the caterpillar, feeling its movement and reactions, which were exactly the same as those of a real caterpillar, before turning her gaze to Bai Zhi with a strange look.
"Ah...yes, I can also make Aruan temporarily turn into other animals."
Looking at her with such a curious gaze, Bai Zhi felt a chill for some reason and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Temporarily... In other words, you can transform me into other biological forms, and then transform me back?"
"Theoretically, that's true. I could even turn you into a silicon-based life form like an android."
The level three monkey talisman is no longer limited to simple animals.
"If I transform into another life form, will I still retain my consciousness?"
Ruan Mei unexpectedly took Bai Zhi's hand.
"Yes, even if I turn you into a caterpillar, you will have all the organs and feelings of a caterpillar, but you will still retain your human consciousness and existing powers."
Bai Zhi felt that she might have made a mistake and shouldn't have said those things.
Ruan Mei's eyes grew increasingly intense with a strange look, as if she were looking at Bai Zhi as if she were looking at a treasure.
Although there are now various instruments that allow people to enter the brains of other organisms, glimpse their mysteries, and even sense their feelings.
