Old Man Bai and the others all nodded.
They had all checked their own cells before and the anomaly in Zheng Fa’s cells was still fresh in their memory.
"Later on, didn’t we also examine the cells of that pea sprout?"
Old Man Bai’s expression gradually changed.
He seemed to understand what Zheng Fa meant.
"Is that structure inside my cells similar to the structure inside the pea sprout cells?"
Old Man Bai raised his hand and held his head, stopping Zheng Fa from continuing: "Wait a minute."
"You mean, I understand what you are saying... Are you suggesting that we fuse your cells with other plant cells, oh, especially with the cells of a mulberry tree, to see if we can create Fusang Wood?"
Zheng Fa smiled and said, "Professor Bai, you really catch on quickly!"
Old Man Bai was silent for a while and then suddenly looked over at his spouse Mrs. Tian: "I’m not good at biology, but there’s reproductive isolation between humans and trees, right?"
Mrs. Tian silently nodded.
"So, people shouldn’t... at least they shouldn’t... want to breed with trees and have offspring, right?"
Old Man Bai’s tone was even more bizarre.
A group of people looked at Zheng Fa as if they were looking at a weirdo.
Zheng Fa: "I’m sacrificing myself for science..."
Old Man Bai sneered and said, "Having formed a Golden Core really is something, so smug about not being human!"
After joking around, Mrs. Tian nodded and said, "Are you thinking of using protoplast fusion technology?"
"Right... or to be precise, I’m thinking about transplanting that Spiritual Energy organelle from my cells into a plant’s body to see what happens."
Zheng Fa came up with this idea because of the Spiritual Energy structure in that pea.
And it was also because he had recently learned about protoplast fusion, otherwise he wouldn’t be so bizarre...
If Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots could also be considered a type of Spirit Plant, then there should also be a similar structure within their cells.
Could this structure... be the same as the one inside his own Green Sun Dao Body?
That was the reason Zheng Fa wanted to become unhuman.
"This will be difficult... animal cells and plant cells are too different, to succeed, you might have to transplant that organelle out of your cells individually, I can’t think of a way right now, I have to ask others."
Zheng Fa also nodded, this thing really seemed like a wild fantasy.
On the other hand, he didn’t know enough about Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots, he didn’t even know if such a thing counted as a Spirit Plant...
Thus, he always wanted to get a couple of leaves from Master Cheng Kong to take a look.
"This method, naturally, is a last resort. The conventional method is still to plant more mulberry trees and such on Rainbow Mountain." Zheng Fa spoke, "If it’s naturally cultivated, that would be better."
After all, within the Spiritual Energy of Rainbow Mountain, it contained the talismanic diagram produced by the Fusang Wood inside his body... maybe just like that pea, it would mutate on its own.
To create Fusang Wood in the Xuanwei Realm was truly a shocking and audacious act.
Whatever method, he had to give it a try...
Zheng Fa took the cube produced by his own Shenxiao Golden Core and entered the lab with Tang Mudao.
Outside, Old Man Bai suddenly looked at Tang Lingwu with a sympathetic gaze.
"I read those cultivation novels... the male protagonist not only wins the favor of immortals but also gets seduced by demonesses." Old Man Bai slowly said, "What’s more, there are even female demons that get jealous and vie for attention."
Tang Lingwu’s lips gradually tightened.
"Competing with animals is one thing, but now Zheng Fa even wants to have children with trees. Your range of rivals is a bit too large!"
Tang Lingwu, with a small frown, was on the verge of tears.
Old Man Bai patted Tang Lingwu on the shoulder and sighed deeply, showing great sympathy.
