Chapter 71 - 71: Mail From the Scarlet Research Institute
In class, Feng Qi explained the theoretical knowledge of planting gods in the human body in detail.
In this Tiger Soul Concept Contest, the participating classes only needed to provide a concept and then use the theoretical outline to prove that this concept had the potential to develop further.
If the participating concept was chosen by the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the subsequent improvement of it would be carried out by the research institute.
After all, converting concepts into actual content required a lot of effort, and the research team of Tiger Soul Research Institute was definitely more professional in this aspect than any participating class.
However, Feng Qi did not intend to be perfunctory.
Since he had brought out the concept of the Human Race Seed God, he naturally would not let the Tiger Soul Research Institute spend a lot of time perfecting this concept.
He planned to directly provide detailed theoretical knowledge to participate in the competition.
This would ensure that he could obtain the bonus. At the same time, this concept would have a huge impact on future generations.
After all, under normal circumstances, this concept was only officially recorded in the cultivation system 400 years later.
He was now promoting the concept of the planting a god. It was equivalent to saving 400 years of effort in the research of organs for modern cultivation and allow them to continue to develop on this basis.
The implications for the future will be far-reaching.
He lectured for a full four hours before stopping. While his mouth was dry, he looked at the students below and said,
“I’m sorry, I’ve talked a little too much today. I’ve seriously gone overtime. That’s all for today’s class. If you have any questions you don’t understand, you can discuss them with me after class or contact me through my mailbox on the academy’s intranet. I’ll reply when I’m free.”
“That’s all. Class dismissed!”
When Feng Qi announced the end of class, thunderous applause came from both inside and outside the classroom.
This class subverted many students’ understanding of the human body’s structure and that of the functions of the human organs.
Even after class ended, they were still a little unsatisfied.
He walked out of the classroom and looked at the middle-aged man standing at the door with a textbook. Feng Qi said apologetically,
“I’m sorry to have delayed your class.”
“Don’t be. The content of your lecture was really wonderful. I was really shocked after listening to it. If you need to borrow a class in the future, you can contact me. I can give my class to you at any time,” the middle-aged man holding the textbook said seriously.
After chatting for a while, the two of them exchanged contact information.
Next, Feng Qi prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a figure huddled in the corner of the corridor outside the classroom. He was staring at the notebook in his hand with a solemn expression, adding a few strokes to it from time to time.
Feng Qi walked to the figure’s side, and the veins on his forehead twitched.
“Lin Ran!”
Hearing the shout, Lin Ran looked up in surprise and scratched his head awkwardly.
“Brother Qi, what a coincidence.”
“Coincidence your a*s. Didn’t I tell you to leave? Why are you back?”
“I wanted to leave, but for some reason, a powerful suction force came from the classroom and held me in place. I couldn’t step away no matter what. Perhaps this is the attraction of cultivation technique research to me.”

Hearing Lin Ran’s serious nonsense, he felt helpless.
Lin Ran’s influence on the future was huge. The consequences were not only millions of people’s meridians being severed.
Because of his mistake, no one dared to try to cultivate them the new cultivation techniques that the various cultivation technique research institutes subsequently launched at all. This severely slowed down the development of human cultivation.
Such influence was very far-reaching, causing the development of cultivation techniques to almost stagnate in the next hundred years.
This was because after a cultivation technique was created, subsequent improvements and perfecting required the support of detailed social data.
If no one cultivated a new cultivation technique, it would be very easy to fall into a bottleneck.
This is partly similar to an example that has occurred in reality.
Someone once said that if not for the need for generations of high-performance chips in the game market, even if there were a few more “Intel”, they would not be able to develop chip technology to this extent.
The resulting impact was also in all aspects and could even affect the development of aerospace technology.
Therefore, the improvement of many technologies could not be completely resolved by a small group of human elites staying in the research institute. Many practical improvements had to return to society.
It was the same for cultivation techniques.
After a new cultivation technique is born, it goes through a series of tests. After ensuring its safety, it is released to the outside world. However, there would still be many shortcomings in other aspects. Subsequent improvements and updates require a huge amount of data.
If people lose trust in the new cultivation technique, it would severely affect the development of cultivation techniques.
Therefore, future’s evaluation of Lin Ran was Historical Scourge, not a “scourge”. His influence still existed after his death.
Actually, he was also very puzzled. Since the cultivation technique created by Lin Ran could pass the review of the Tiger Soul Research Institute and there was no problem with his own cultivation, why did something go wrong after it was released?
However, regardless of whether there was a something else going on or if it was Lin Ran’s own problem, it was definitely not wrong to stop Lin Ran from coming into contact with cultivation techniques and let him focus on researching spells.
This way, he could put an end to the problem at the source and prevent the sensational “million deaths” incident from happening.
Looking at the innocent Lin Ran, he really wished he could do better.
He clearly had the talent for spell research that ordinary people dreamed of, yet he insisted on studying cultivation techniques. Feng Qi really couldn’t understand what Lin Ran was thinking.
Are cultivation techniques really that attractive?
His future self had left a message related to Lin Ran in his private email.
Saying that Lin Ran made him understand something deeply. No one’s dissuasion can enlighten someone. The only things that can wake people up from a dream are experience, loss, regret, and injury.
It could be seen how obsessed Lin Ran was with the study of cultivation techniques, that his future self comprehended such a philosophy of life.
“Brother Qi, let’s go eat first. I’ll go back and continue reading the bricks… Advanced Spell Theory you bought for me.”
Looking at Lin Ran’s fawning expression, Feng Qi nodded helplessly.
After dinner, he returned to the dormitory.
Feng Qi switched on his computer and logged onto the academy’s website. He realized that someone had secretly taken a video of his class and uploaded it to Star City Academy’s forum.
At this moment, a heated discussion was going on about concept of “planting gods” that he had thrown out.
The students began an intense discussion about this. Even the teachers in the academy participated and shared their opinions on the concept.
As he scrolled through everyone’s messages, the notification that he had received a new email appeared in the lower right corner of the screen. Immediately, a pulsing red envelope surfaced.
This piqued Feng Qi’s curiosity.
Because red mail was the mark of an official organization, blue mail was the mark of the academy.
However, when he opened the email and saw the sender’s name, he could not help but be stunned.
This was because this private red email was actually from the Scarlet Research Institute..
