Previous studies have shown that human cells have a limit to the number of times they can divide, so people will die of old age.
The thing that controls the number of cell divisions in the human body is called "telomere", a special protein.
This is roughly what earth science says, but from the perspective of spiritual science.
This ordinary substance is obviously not enough to be called "vital force".
Once the monk's life force is burned, it can erupt with far stronger power than normal. Even the life force of an ordinary person can be used as a sacrifice to activate magic weapons and the like.
It can be said that in the definition of spiritual science, vitality is neither the number of cell divisions nor the state of cultivation, but a real power hidden in the human body.
In order to determine what vitality is, Gu Luosheng has studied it countless times.
Constantly experiment with the magical life effects of the Topaz Spirit Butterfly.
Use a homemade microscope and a keen eye for dissection and observation.
Various controlled experiments...
Finally, decades later, he came up with an unbelievable but most reasonable explanation.
The so-called vitality should refer to the "time" of a life.
On Earth, time is just a concept and has no entity.
But in the world of immortality, time has probably become a real thing. Although it is difficult to "see" and "touch", it is indeed much clearer compared to the earth.
For example, as a monk improves his cultivation level, he will gain a fixed lifespan at each level. This mechanism ignores the total amount of energy, the level of skills, and the difference in personal physique. Each level is exactly ten years.
This is obviously no coincidence.
Rather than saying that the number of cell divisions increases and life span is extended, it is better to understand that the monks use spiritual power to distort their own time and increase the "time" they should survive.
Each time it increases by 10 years, each realm doubles, probably for this reason.
The ten years required for each reincarnation in the Book of Reincarnation are most likely "existence time" rather than the physical cell lifespan, which is a conceptual erasure.
Therefore, even if the Book of Reincarnation is a treasure, it cannot increase this part of lifespan back, and can only replace it with the longevity bloodline.
Once these research results are released, although they cannot completely prove that the speed butterfly has magical powers of time.
But in terms of actual performance, there is actually not much difference.
Because the magical power of Speedy Spirit Butterfly consumes nothing but life force, it is a permanent ability.
With this ability, the Speedy Butterfly's mobility is increased several times, and the inertia of high-speed movement is still maintained at low speeds.
Its own activities become faster, and behaviors such as escaping or laying eggs will be accelerated accordingly.
Remains also have the effect of accelerating the growth of offspring, and can be used in combination.
Moreover, the Speed Spirit Butterfly consumes a lot of vitality to accelerate itself, while accelerating the Yellow Jade Spirit Insect only consumes vitality according to the growth rate.
Accelerating the speed butterfly by 1 times may consume 7 or 8 times the vitality, but the vitality lost by the topaz spirit worm under this kind of time acceleration is 1/1. As long as the spiritual energy and food are enough, the topaz spirit worm can grow at an unlimited speed...
The only regret is that the relic is only valid for a few years and its power will dissipate quickly.
Moreover, the remnant of a first-grade primary speed spirit butterfly can only accelerate the growth rate by about one thousandth.
This number is extremely small, and it would have been very difficult to discover it unless Gu Luosheng had a strong research spirit.
Moreover, the Speed Spirit Butterfly is not worth much, and there are better choices for powerful families.
If you don’t invest in research, the chances of discovering it by coincidence are even smaller.
Gu Luosheng immediately put the art of butterfly transformation into the skill level.
"The difficulty of practicing the Butterfly Transformation Technique is indeed very low. It only has 500 experience points."
The spiritual level skills that Gu Luosheng has seen so far all start with one thousand experience points.
For example, after having gained 3,000 experiences in the Supreme Spirit Technique, many years have passed and I am still lingering on the level 1 skill.
Skills with low experience will have lower bonuses. The initial bonus for skills with 1,000 experience is 50%, but the Butterfly Transformation skill is only 40%. Calculating this, I am afraid that the 200% bonus can only be achieved at level 4, and only at level 5.
Additional branches of effects appear.
Gu Luosheng immediately took out the transmission talisman and ordered Qi Huaishan to lead his disciples to cultivate a large number of mortal insects.
Butterfly transformation requires the release of chrysalis in order to increase understanding and gain skill experience.
The cultivation period of Speed Spirit Butterfly is too long, so use ordinary things to deal with it first.
…
The practice of Butterfly Transformation is quite fast.
This is a technique that does not consume a lot of spiritual power. Although using mortal insects will reduce the skill experience, the number cannot be tolerated, so Gu Luosheng increases his experience at a rate of two hundred per day.
In just one month, the Butterfly Transformation Technique reached level 3, and the mastery speed increased by 120%.
The original Gu Luosheng's butterfly transformation skills were not bad, with 50% of the third level. He could suppress the butterfly transformation time from ten years to one and a half years. After this month of crazy practice, he vaguely wanted to step into the fourth level.
The fourth level can reduce the time it takes for spiritual insects to transform into butterflies to one year. As for mortal insects, they can almost complete the entire process of breaking out of pupa and transforming into butterflies within dozens of minutes of releasing the butterfly transformation technique, which is surprisingly fast.
At this speed, even if the full level is level 7, it won't take long.
"Level 4 requires fifteen thousand experience, which is not much..."
Gu Luosheng silently continued to practice.
There is a butterfly transformation technique that allows insect chrysalis to turn into a butterfly quickly, and his practice can be sustainable.
Three months later, the Butterfly Transformation Technique will reach level 4.
One year later, level 5.
Another two years, level 6.
In the tenth year, the Butterfly Transformation Technique has officially reached its maximum level.
◇
"Spiritual Skills"
Butterfly Transformation Technique (Level 7 skill, mastery speed increased by 200%, butterfly transformation time shortened by 60%.)
Achievements: Level 6
◇
The first spirit-level skill to reach full level in just ten years, and the first sixth-level spell.
The sixth-level Butterfly Transformation Technique can compress ten years into three months. Counting the deductions, it can already transform into a butterfly within one month.
The butterfly transformation period that originally lasted ten years was suddenly reduced to one month.
The foundation for large-scale reproduction has basically been completed!
Cultivate a batch of Speedy Butterflies, then control only a few of them for mating, and all the remaining Speedy Butterflies can act as time accelerators.
The ability of a living speed butterfly to accelerate growth will naturally be higher than that of a dead one!
Nowadays, the cultivation cycle of Topaz Spirit Insects is about three to four years. To be honest, unless hundreds of first-grade Topaz Spirit Insects are cultivated at one time, the growth acceleration effect will not be obvious.
The current aura of Yongquan Cave does not support spiritual insect breeding on this scale.
Gu Luosheng does have a solution, but unfortunately, there is not enough time...
The last thirteen years were only four training cycles.
Even if human intervention can greatly speed up evolution, four wheels may still not be enough.
"No matter what, we still have to try. If it doesn't work, we can only hand it over to Qi Huaishan..."
"It would be a big project to try to implant the magical bloodline of Yuehua absorbed by the Howling Moon Spirit Wolf into the Topaz Spirit Insect!"
