Chapter 382: An Jinli, a genius?

Soon after, Su Lan adjusted the ratio to create potions of different concentrations.

Then she glanced at Liang Yu.

“Do we need to make some special potions?”

At this moment, Liang Yu was exceptionally speechless; he didn’t understand any of this, so what use was it to ask him?

He immediately indicated that she should make the decision herself and didn’t need to ask for his opinion, as Su Lan was the professional.

After another half an hour, the lab finally finished its work. Su Lan saw that Liang Yu hadn’t left and knew he had other matters, so she sat in a chair, watching Liang Yu engrossed in the secret manual.

It was then that An Jintong stepped forward to remind and pull Liang Yu back.

Seeing that they had finished, Liang Yu handed the copied secret manuals to both of them. Su Lan and An Jintong were somewhat speechless after looking at the appearance of the manuals.

Su Lan immediately asked,

“Where did you dig this out from a street stall?”

“Looking at your posture, you’re not going to make us practice according to it, are you?”

Initially, her tone was playful, but gradually she noticed Liang Yu’s smile widening.

After watching for a while, Su Lan realized that Liang Yu wasn’t joking with her; he genuinely intended for them to practice according to it.

Perceiving that Liang Yu was serious this time, Su Lan, though filled with reluctance, still reached out and picked up the secret manual.

As the manual came into her hand, looking at the paper printed by the machine and the unique smell of the coating, her disdainful eyes were undisguisedly overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

This thing clearly looked like a product from before the cataclysm, something bought for ten yuan for three books. How could it be a real martial arts secret manual? Their lab had collected many such junk, and not a single one was useful; they were all later burned as firewood.

“What’s so special about this piece of junk?”

Su Lan muttered softly, casually flipping through a few pages.

But after reading only a few lines, her brows involuntarily furrowed.

The words on the secret manual began to have an invisible magic, tightly gripping her gaze.

Her initially careless expression gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of seriousness and focus, making her more and more engrossed as she read.

An Jintong quietly walked to the side, gently picking up the other secret manual from Liang Yu’s hand.

Her eyes showed respect and curiosity, and she carefully opened it, as if holding a rare treasure in her hands.

An Jintong frowned slightly, her gaze focused as she moved through the lines, not missing any detail.

She occasionally bit her lower lip, seemingly pondering difficult parts of the manual, and at times nodded slightly, as if agreeing with the profound discussions within.

After only reading halfway, An Jintong put the book away, extended her left hand palm up, and slowly, a ball of white mist appeared in her palm.

Liang Yu’s pupils constricted when he saw An Jintong’s action. Had he found a treasure?

He hadn’t expected An Jintong to learn so quickly, and if his judgment was correct, this was the Qi that Zen Master Qi Zhen had mentioned. As for why it was white, he didn’t know.

An Jintong looked at the ball of Qi in her hand, seemingly not very satisfied, then absorbed it back into her body. Liang Yu then walked over, sizing her up as if she were a monster.

With complex emotions, he asked An Jintong, saying it would be false not to be envious; who didn’t have a martial arts dream in their youth?

“You just learned it so easily, after only a few glances?”

“Then I just watched for so long, how do I feel like a clown now?”

Upon hearing Liang Yu’s words, An Jintong almost turned into one of the Byakugan clan from Japan’s anime.

Hearing him say she learned it so easily, that was just the superficial appearance he saw.

Due to her family’s background, she was forced to study from a young age. When she grew older, around twelve or thirteen, while others were playing, she was practicing under the supervision of her elders.

In the end, it was no surprise that she entered the military region based on the foundation she laid in her childhood, and thus survived after being attacked during the cataclysm.

All of this was earned through her efforts. Hearing Liang Yu attribute it to her talent in one sentence, she truly didn’t know what to say.

At the same time, she also discovered the problem: this secret manual was very different from those she had seen before.

Yes, An Jintong had previously tried to order various printed martial arts secret manuals online. Although they were a bit expensive, the content was genuine.

However, no matter how she practiced, it had no effect. Now she understood completely: those martial arts secret manuals on the market were indeed real.

But why couldn’t one master them? The reason was that in all the books, the most crucial part was intentionally omitted, so without a method to control the circulation of Qi in the body, no matter how much effort you put in, you would only learn some flashy moves.

After An Jintong explained it to Liang Yu, Liang Yu finally confirmed that the secret manual was real, but he still maintained a skeptical attitude.

After all, if the beginning is true, the end is true, but the middle is mixed with a fake, it’s very possible to suffer Qi deviation, just like in TV dramas or novels. Therefore, he still didn’t dare to practice it himself, nor did he plan to give it to Lan Ling.

After an unknown period, An Jintong and Su Lan had returned to normal. Liang Yu told them to put aside the matter of the secret manual for now and discuss which of them would go to Qu Baoguo’s side for human experiments.

After their discussion, they decided to go together. They wouldn’t bring the little girl Yi Yi for now, as it wouldn’t be convenient.

The time was set for tonight, after dark. Liang Yu had already arranged for Mario to drive them there.

At this point, both of them began preparing for their trip, as well as bidding farewell to Yi Yi.

Liang Yu returned from the third floor, feeling a bit preoccupied.

The power of Zen Master Qi Zhen made him curious and awestruck about the ‘He’ he had previously speculated about, and at the same time, he forgot to ask Zen Master Qi Zhen about Him.

He could only say he’d find an opportunity to ask later.

At this moment, he didn’t forget the other thing he needed to do: contact Qu Baoguo to discuss the treatment problem.

Of course, he certainly wouldn’t tell the other party that they were going to conduct human experiments on those Survivors. He would only ask if they were willing, purely on a voluntary basis, without compulsion, and without forced treatment.

Qu Baoguo naturally agreed immediately, only making one request: he needed to be present when the medicine was administered. Liang Yu did not refuse this; he wasn’t planning human modification experiments.

It was simply clinical trials for the medicine, at most with some side effects. It wasn’t anything unspeakable, so the matter was settled.

After sorting things out with Qu Baoguo, Liang Yu went to the kitchen, intending to find something to eat, but he saw Lan Ling busy at the stove, and his Xiao Yizi next to her, looking at a tutorial on a tablet.

Both of them were focused on the pot and didn’t notice Liang Yu coming up behind them.
