Of course, "intelligence" under a certain definition is only one of the factors related to spiritual practice. Primitive people have simple temperaments, simple minds, and no entertainment interference. Compared with modern people's impetuous mentality and eagerness for quick success, it is naturally a huge difference.
Advantage.
The head is filled with a lot of knowledge that has nothing to do with cultivation. The social functional area occupies the thinking space, making it difficult for modern people to concentrate and often distracts their attention. This is completely incompatible with the requirements of practicing various internal skills. At best, it can only
Basic external skills for beginners.
In addition, another important influencing factor is that the development of industrialization and urbanization in modern society has seriously polluted the environment, including air pollution, water pollution, land destruction, noise pollution, etc.
As mentioned before, high-density heavy metals such as lead usually have the property of hindering the flow of vitality. In the world of Sword Dynasty, there are many weapons and weapons refined with lead powder, specifically to reduce the combat effectiveness of practitioners.
.
If it is distributed too much in the environment and is enriched in the human body along the food chain, it will naturally increase the difficulty for people to sense and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, gradually block the meridians and blood channels, and even erode the internal strength that has been cultivated.
Practicing orthodox internal skills and refining the essence of the body and the spiritual energy of the outside world into one's own true energy requires not only the purity of the soul, but also the purity of the body. It cannot be contaminated by too many unnatural products and accumulate in the body.
With a large amount of harmful substances, the qualifications will obviously be reduced a lot.
Combined with the above factors, the average cultivation aptitude of modern people is probably not as good as the malnourished ancient people in feudal society, let alone the physically strong primitive people. There are only a few who are born with extraordinary mental power and strong metabolic and detoxification abilities.
The mixed race barely meets the passing standard.
Obviously, if we want to promote the practice of spiritual practice on a large scale in modern society, we will certainly have the advantages of convenient information and abundant productivity. However, if we do not solve the problems of various environmental pollution, it will be difficult to achieve great results. Only a few perseverant geniuses can achieve this.
You may gain something.
However, the development of modern science and technology is on the right track, and naturally it should not be deflected onto another path of uncertainty. The two should prioritize coexistence and try to consider an overall and balanced approach.
The simplest thing is to find a few remote mountains and old forests with good ecological environment, like Kassel Academy, to establish corresponding centralized training institutions, select only a few people for training, and make full use of the auxiliary effects of technology.
Furthermore, if the environment is not suitable for practice, then people and exercises must adapt to the environment. Orthodox internal skills repel pollution, but this is not always the case for heretics. For example, the various poisonous skills of the Xingxiu Sect require refining and absorbing poisons during practice.
Quality, in order to improve your cultivation.
Most of these poison-refining exercises are based on the principle of yin and yang creating and restraining, using the toxins of the great cold and dryness to refine the corresponding true energy. They are not entirely limited to biological toxins, arsenic, crane-top red and other mineral poisons.
Theoretically it can work.
In order to effectively remove heavy metals and microplastics from the human body, the best solution Zhao Qing adopted was to create a movement from the outside in, a "health-preserving physical training technique" that is easy to learn and practice, and has no mental aspects.
Pure needs lay the foundation for many profound techniques.
This is an auxiliary exercise that does not increase combat effectiveness. It is completely focused on accelerating metabolism, promoting detoxification, and strengthening the body in all aspects. When practiced to perfection, it can initially cleanse the marrow and exchange blood, purify the body, prevent all diseases, and make cultivation easier.
Qualifications have grown significantly.
According to her deduction, the "Easy Muscles and Bones Chapter" in the "Nine Yin Manual" is based on this principle. However, with Zhao Qing's current vision of cultivation, compared with this skill, it can probably be simplified and easier to get started with.
The effect is better than the former.
Once the promotion becomes widespread, everyone's qualifications will increase tenfold and almost reach the average level of primitive people. This is very good and the future is promising.
However, in fact, from the perspective of civilization development, hereditary extraordinary powers like the Dragon Clan, which are born without the need for cultivation, coupled with fixed skills such as speech and spirit, seem to be more effective when combined with existing science.
Adapt to the development of modern science and technology.

"Such a precious art collection, even if it is only temporarily stored at Sotheby's auction house, is enough for the family alliance to expand a lot of influence and establish a broader mixed-race transnational social platform... Your gift makes me feel
It shows the sincerity of cooperation.”
Henkel watched for a while, and gradually regained his composure. He made two cups of hot chocolate and put the paintings and calligraphy aside: "Although the author has no reputation in history, he is different from collectors among ordinary people.
Such wealthy families don't care much about the investment appreciation of these things..."
"For example, a treasure related to an unknown ancient king in the Mesopotamia. Because the alchemy technology used surpasses the times, it cannot be recognized by outside scholars. However, the more bizarre and mysterious it is, the more likely buyers will be.
It is so attractive that it can easily be sold for hundreds of millions."
Zhao Qing nodded slightly. The aesthetic concept of the Demon Sect is much more cutting-edge than the traditional Buddhism and Taoism, and it has a more groundbreaking artistic style. Such works will make the hybrids who are free from history want to
Use it to uncover the "truth in the fog".
In fact, in the curriculum of Kassel College, dragon genealogy, which studies the history of dragons and hybrids, has always been a top priority, which involves the secret party's control of the students' ideology. For a long time, it has been taught by Principal Angers
Taught in person.
"If placed in the Kassel Execution Department, these paintings and calligraphy are almost worth two or thirty A-level missions."
Henkel adjusted his round glasses and exaggeratedly described: "According to the principle of fair trade, I should also help you with dozens of services at the same level as repayment."
"Like the 'evolution of dragon camouflage ability' you mentioned earlier, the family's dozen or so biomedical research institutes can provide personnel and equipment to cooperate."
He said jokingly: "To be honest, I also want to know if there are any hidden dragons in the family. Although I am old and can't take care of many things anymore, before passing the family business to the young people,
We still have to eliminate the hidden dangers first.”
In Henkel's view, Zhao Qing was able to kill the manor guards without killing him, which proved that she did not have the violent and murderous character common to many high-level dragons. Even if she could not see the depth of the other party at all, the possibility of being a pure-blooded dragon was not ruled out, and it was not impossible.
Cooperate with each other.
Seeing that the other party was relaxed and sincere in his heart, Zhao Qing glanced out the window and heard the sound of several small drones flying from a distance. He took out a document bag, opened it, and took it out.
Several detailed inspection reports.
"Recent anatomical data on a certain high-level dragon. Although there is no comparison of the person disguised as an adult during his lifetime, it can still be seen that the camouflage technology used has greatly improved."
She gave a brief introduction: "However, in view of the high mental resistance and high physical activity of dragons, we have initially developed several pharmaceuticals that can detect the differences between dragons, and they will be open to the public free of charge in half a month.
Share. I hope you can also open up some scientific research data on hybrids..."
"Do you want to further determine the details of the physiological characteristics that do not overlap between dragons and hybrids?" Henkel thought for a while: "Overuse of bloodline refining technology may also produce some characteristics close to dragons and deadpools. Is this possible to be misjudged as a human being?
What about dragons?”
"This requires more experimental data and high-risk hybrid samples to develop second-generation identification agents, monitoring instruments and supporting technologies." Zhao Qing replied calmly: "If a pure-blood dragon is really detected,
, used in in vivo experiments, the technology will progress even faster."
"Remember to keep the information confidential. It's best to keep it to yourself and don't alert others. Your family, secret party and other hybrid organizations have the possibility of hiding dragons in high positions, and the possibility of someone taking refuge with dragons..."
"In the absence of reliable monitoring methods, dragons with some intelligence will not miss the opportunity to lurk in large organizations and control the trends of human society. This requires peeling off the cocoon and working step by step to prevent the other party from noticing the danger or jumping over the wall in a hurry.
"
Different from Henkel's speculation, her so-called dragon monitoring technology focuses on stimulating potential and temporarily stimulating the hidden flaws that dragons cannot perfectly disguise and cannot be consistent with humans, revealing the bloodline that has been deliberately suppressed.
Even the first-generation dragon kings still have their own limits to their control over the body. It is difficult to accurately control their physiological instincts, and ordinary pure-blood dragons are naturally even less capable.
For example, after inhaling incense, due to the extremely high mental resistance, it is impossible to faint as easily as ordinary people, and to be injured unpreparedly, and the extraordinary self-healing speed cannot be suppressed in an instant.
With Long's power greatly reduced and his bloodline yet to be activated, Old Tang, who had not yet awakened Norton's memory, had been able to scare away all kinds of animals with his mental pressure from childhood to adulthood. When he went on a hunter's mission, things such as Deadpool's dragon subspecies did not dare to dare.
Offended, this is an obvious characteristic.
Further specific research on the internal gaps of the wing bones and bone-penetrating needle methods, dragon blood regeneration and dialysis and blood transfusion testing will require new dragon experimental subjects. The two-headed dragon attendants sleeping in the Three Gorges Bronze City are a good choice.
"'In vivo experiment'? Your words remind me of another person I knew more than a hundred years ago." Henkel's eyes were bright: "Leonardo Flamel, the once famous 'blood hunter'
Hound', now the Secret Party's first alchemist master, 'Night's Watch'."
"When he was a young cowboy who came to North America like me, he often traveled across the entire West single-handedly, just to chase down a seriously injured dragon, forcing the other party to drink an entire bottle of mercury and kill himself to avoid being killed.
Made alive into raw materials for alchemical experiments."
"Time will change a person." Henkel sighed nostalgically: "Who would have thought that the heroic warrior who was no better than Angers and I would now turn into a man who stayed in the clock tower, drank and watched dramas all day long?
Where’s the guy?”
"Perhaps, the 'Dragon Detection Technology' you have on hand can cheer him up - Flamel's alchemy inheritance is still trustworthy." He added: "I think you can have a lot in common.
topic and become a long-term research partner..."
"Then it's settled." Zhao Qing replied casually, took out the black mobile phone he used to make calls earlier, and released the information shielding magnetic field exerted on it.
Then, she received several messages signed by Norma Lawns. After scanning them twice, she began to communicate with the other party and reply.
The person who knows the most about Angers’ whereabouts is probably the artificial intelligence Norma of Kassel College, or her real personality Eva.
Considering that Eva's boyfriend is Fingel, who is also the heir selected by Henkel, the main purpose of finding Henkel is not to cooperate, but to use it as a springboard to catch up with Eva.
line to obtain all kinds of detailed information.
"There is no need to call in multiple satellites to monitor this area. Call in a group of civilian drones and use the self-destruction of fuel tanks as a threat. This can easily cause misunderstandings." Zhao Qing quickly typed back, and then received the message from the other party.
information:
"Sorry, I misjudged your purpose. After analyzing the uploaded 'autopsy report' and conversation recording, Norma would like to express my deep apology... If you have time, a certain gentleman would like to talk to you.
Communication on dragon detection, and provide the recent travel records of Principal Angers..."
Probably because he suspected that some members of the school board had colluded with the "Prince" during the Greenland ice incident, Fingel, who was behind Norma, saw that Henkel had nothing to do, and soon became interested in cooperating.
Zhao Qing was thoughtful. Speaking of which, the Henkel Family Alliance is known as a top organization close to the strength of the secret party. In addition to Henkel's personal force, the financial power of each family, and the huge influence on Wall Street, there should be other things.
Hiding the background?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is known that contemporary Flamel was once an old cowboy who hung out with Henkel. Perhaps he has always been secretly cooperating with the Henkel faction, otherwise
Staying in the tower all day long doing nothing is a complete waste of blood, which is really not right.
In addition, the former Soviet Union in this world has developed artificial black holes and controllable nuclear fusion. Country M cannot be too weak. It may have several outrageous black technologies, and some of them are in the hands of the Henkel family.
The latter's subordinates participated in relevant research.
Of course, this kind of indirect control is illusory after all. With the parliamentary framework of Country M, it is not impossible to say that the power of dragons in Country M is stronger than that of the secret party and the Henkel family combined.
Sometimes, one side is in the light and the other is in the dark, and the gap is even more huge.
From the beginning to the end, she did not expect these people to provide much military assistance. As long as the initial intelligence was barely enough, the organization would not be penetrated too deeply and seriously hindered.
"By the way, if I visit Angers in the UK, I plan to recommend a qualified guide who can also serve as a half-bodyguard." Apparently he also received Norma's message. Henkel put away the document bag and the box containing the paintings and calligraphy, and saw that Zhao Qing was about to
He left and spoke enthusiastically.
Then, the figure of the girl in green clothes suddenly disappeared, leaving only a strange fragrance lingering in the manor. The decaying dead trees and dry grass nearby ushered in new life and became a lush green area. However, Henkel lost calcium and his blood vessels aged.
His old body also inexplicably became younger and more energetic.
"Let's go to Kassel for a walk first." A moment later, Shi Yiguang, who was taking a walk and looking at the Navy Pier on the shores of Lake Michigan, suddenly turned his head, and the shadow of Zhao Qing appeared behind him, holding a copy of Henkel in his hand.
owned by the Chicago Post, which was not released this morning.
…
Thousands of miles away, Tokyo, Shinjuku District.
As the night grew darker, Lin Fenglong, who had just arrived here, was strolling on one of the most famous commercial streets in Shinjuku, which is often called the "town that never sleeps". There is a constant flow of people 24 hours a day, and both glamorous and wretched people hang out in this place.
Nightclubs are operating side by side. Under the neon lights, young people with dyed yellow hair are bowing and posting advertisements. There are endless light box signs as far as the eye can see. Looking along this street to the end is the skyscrapers of Shinjuku, and the serpentine elevated highway looms.
There is constant traffic.
Among the many elegant gray buildings, a building wrapped in iron-black glass curtain wall looks very abrupt. It is under final construction and is extremely tall, like a black iron monument, standing under the hazy sky, hinting at the people who live in it.
How powerful is the organization?
This building is a new landmark of Shinjuku District and the future headquarters of the Eight Sheki Families. Since the Edo period, the prosperous Shinjuku District has been the "capital" of the Eight Families.
This "Source Type Heavy Industries" was originally expected to be completed in the first half of 2004, but when the building was nearing completion, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government decided to build an elevated highway that must pass through it.
After negotiations, the government could not accept the price offered by the Sheqiba family, so it gave up the plan to demolish the building and instead signed a 100-year lease to rent the fifth and sixth floors of the building to build an elevated highway.
So, at the bottom of Yuanshi Heavy Industry, a straight prototype of an elevated highway slowly extended outwards, engineering vehicles shuttled back and forth, and the sound of the collision of steel and concrete reverberated in the air.
"Source Shiki Heavy Industries, the one who designed and built this building is Maruyama Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Tachibana family... The former Dr. Herzog, now the head of the Tachibana Masamune family, it has been a long time since we last seen each other."
Lin Fenglong randomly found a rooftop of a 6-story building and sat down. Lin Fenglong murmured to himself, looking at the titanium black building in the distance. He held a paintbrush and a scraper in his hand and began to draw a beautiful oil painting, but it was not completely complete.
Realistic, but rather abstract.
In his painting, the entire building appears to be in a blazing state, with pillars of fire sucking up into the sky. The red-faced and long-nosed Crow Tengu spread their wings and fly in the flowing clouds and flames. Their faces and wings
The edges glowed with glowing fire, lifelike.
Because the picture is so realistic, one can't help but wonder, has this person ever witnessed a similar sight of a rising pillar of fire? What kind of astonishing disaster does this mean when the fire burns the sky and the demons dance wildly?
The real scene is that the white gull flies past the crystal-like building, its anxious figure is reflected on the glass curtain wall, the urban downturn drags it to the ground, and it flaps its wings vigorously and flies to high places.
A strong wind blows from over Tokyo Bay, and there is a strong smell of sea in the air.
After finishing the painting, Lin Fenglong placed a golden mask with a faint sense of majesty between several faintly glowing bronze candlesticks, and then looked at it silently for a long time, as if sensing something:
"Is it about the twentieth floor? According to the design drawings related to Maruyama Construction, this is quite close to the 22nd floor where the computer array room is located. In the name of the Rock Flow Research Institute, this supercomputer will
