Alien Science Cultivation

"I'm Guan Fei. Please come this way," the red-faced man, relieved to see Wang Yan could activate the token, silently transmitted his message. Zhang Qiang and the other two were stunned. They couldn't understand why Guan Fei didn't speak but used telepathy. Even if the token in Wang Yan's hand couldn't prove she was the second-in-command of the Qingshan Exchange, it at least proved she was one of the leaders of the human race. She must have encountered something murky; otherwise, she wouldn't be so vigilant. Guan Fei extended his hand in a gesture of invitation, pointing to a cave nestled in the cliff face not far away. Hidden by a formation, the cave blended seamlessly into nature, making it impossible to spot without careful observation. A moment later, everyone filed into the cave. Zhang Qiang scanned the area with his spiritual sense, finding nothing unusual. He looked at Wang Yan and nodded, indicating that everything was fine. Guan Fei, meanwhile, seemed to sense a familiarity with the unassuming Zhang Qiang. After all, Zhang Qiang's nod of confirmation had made Guan Fei understand that the manager among the three was likely the man with the lowest cultivation level. This made him ponder, and he felt a vague sense of familiarity with the young man before him. "Brother Guan, there's no need to guess. This is Zhang Qiang, the boss of our Qingshan Exchange," Wang Yan explained bluntly. "So that's why... I was wondering if he looked so familiar. It's the face of the boss of the Qingshan Exchange. A hero emerges young. My apologies," Guan Fei said, cupping his fists politely. Zhang Qiang and the other two were stunned. They hadn't expected such a domineering man to have the magnanimity to admire others' talents. Zhang Qiang couldn't help but think of Guan Yu, who carelessly lost Jingzhou. "Brother Guan, you're so kind. We returned this time because we sensed that one of our soldiers had been possessed by a ghost and was mingling with them. We believe they have a hidden agenda. To avoid misunderstandings and conflicts, we resorted to this desperate measure and reported the truth to the general. With the general's early Immortal Emperor cultivation, quelling the civil unrest here shouldn't be difficult. However, the teleportation array on the other side is in danger. The fact that they've prevented it from being exploited by the underworld is truly remarkable," Zhang Qiang said, his own expectations and speculations flowing.

"It seems this young man has extraordinary spiritual awareness. I guess you're deliberately suppressing your Foundation Establishment cultivation. I can't sense anything unusual, yet you can directly confirm my true cultivation level. You're truly worthy of being the boss of Qingshan Exchange. To be honest, I've also vaguely sensed some anomalies within the team, but I can't tell where exactly the problem lies. I've also been trying to figure out these soldiers, but their statements matched the files, and for a moment I thought I was overly suspicious. But my intuition tells me there's definitely something wrong here, so I've deliberately concealed my cultivation level and infiltrated the soldiers, hoping to discover a flaw."

"General, you're incredibly meticulous. You're truly a blessing to the human race." Wang Yan's well-timed flattery made Guan Fei laugh heartily. "Haha... you're too kind, young friend. The three of you have given me a helping hand. As long as you can find them, I'll take them out one by one. I hope there aren't any high-level ghost cultivators among them. My death wouldn't matter, but it might also kill the three of you, and these soldiers, who have been my brothers for many years." Guan Fei pleaded earnestly, yet a wave of worry washed over him. "General, have you disguised yourself? I'm shortsighted. Even my spiritual sense can't detect anything unusual." Zhang Qiang couldn't help but wonder. Could he also control molecular recombination? Otherwise, Zhang Qiang's spiritual sense wouldn't have failed to detect that Guan Fei before him wasn't his true form. "We are one of the many races of the human race, the Multifaceted Race. This appearance is also one of my true forms. We have three human forms, each with completely different personalities, preferences, and abilities." Guan Fei spoke with his head bowed, seeming to be tinged with sadness. Zhang Qiang and Chen Ying were stunned. "The Multifaceted Clan... aren't they extinct? Sorry, Senior..." Wang Yan, stunned, seemed to realize she'd said the wrong thing and hurriedly apologized. "Hehe... It's okay, we're almost extinct. Our clan is naturally the best material for powerful cultivators to cultivate clones. This is a well-known secret of the cultivation world, but you may not have known it yet."

After listening to Guan Fei's words, the three of them were stunned for a long while. "Senior... lend me a drop of your blood." Zhang Qiang, who had recovered, bowed respectfully and said softly. Guan Fei was stunned for a moment, and without thinking too much, he waved his hand, and a drop of blood flew towards Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang's spiritual consciousness wrapped around the blood, and after a moment, in front of the shocked eyes of several people, the drop of blood began to grow to the size of a fist. After a moment, a complete set of human meridians and skeleton began to form, followed by the formation of organs, and finally the formation of skin tissue... Another Guan Fei slowly condensed and took shape. "Senior... do you think it is possible to use this body to refine an avatar? Except for the lack of a soul, all genetic information is exactly the same as yours."

Guan Fei slowly recovered from his shock, his consciousness and eyes scanning the body, which looked identical to his own. "It's perfectly possible to create a clone... It's indistinguishable from our own... It even eliminates the tedious process of clearing out the remaining consciousness and soul within... Young friend, what are you doing..." Guan Fei asked Zhang Qiang in confusion after confirming the body. "For sale... 100 top-grade spirit stones each. We'll sell them in bulk at the Qingshan Exchange in the future. Senior, please provide a few more blood types to give customers more choices. The Qingshan Exchange guarantees that % of the profits from such transactions will go to you, the Multifaceted Clan." Zhang Qiang explained truthfully. He also clearly understood that the cells of the Multifaceted Clan were indeed different from those of normal humans. Cells could be disrupted and reassembled in specific ways, altering not only appearance but also personality and abilities. If a clone were created from their cells, it would have many possibilities, with three distinct identities: one clone, three uses, and cultivation levels could be combined. This was truly the best option for creating a clone.

"Guan Fei thanks the leaders of Qingshan Exchange. If I can be of any use to you in the future, I will not refuse." Guan Fei thanked him sincerely. He naturally understood the significance of Zhang Qiang's actions. Even if it was not entirely to protect their clan, in the end, their clan was the biggest beneficiary of this deal.

"Senior, you're welcome. The most important thing right now is how to eliminate the ghosts among the soldiers and how to preserve the teleportation array here," Zhang Qiang asked, changing the subject. After all, cloning the Multifaceted Tribe was a piece of cake for Chen Ying, a Level 7 technological civilization. Cloning technology could be accomplished on Earth, let alone at a Level 7 civilization.

"Okay... you guys go out first, find a suitable location, and mark all the ghosts. I'll notify a few lieutenants first... There's a good chance there are more advanced ghost cultivators hiding nearby. Once we gain control of the energy cannon, even quasi-saint ghost cultivators won't dare to confront us easily." Guan Fei spoke of his plans, his figure changing accordingly. A moment later, a middle-aged scholar-like Guan Fei appeared before them. He had changed into a black and white robe. While his fair face lacked the boldness of his earlier rosy complexion, it did have a more capable look. He carried a spear on his shoulder, his jet-black hair standing up and cascading down. With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he resembled Zhao Zilong.
