In the following period of time, the Hai Long Gang unexpectedly rose again and once again took control of more than half of the New Road Port. Just when everyone thought that they would gradually give up the territory of the Hundred Families Association, they stopped fighting against the Hundred Families Association. The distribution of the gangs in the New Road Port became a state of balance.
This was the result that Qing Yueqiu wanted to see.
The rules of the Hai Long Gang also changed. Not only did they reduce the number of members, but they also reduced the number of donations and things like that. Compared to a gang, they became more like a transportation company.
At this point, the Hai Long Gang slowly extended their tentacles to the New Land, the Central Plains, and other places to collect all the information that interested Zuo Zhicheng.
…
Late at night, in the underground base, Zuo Zhicheng sat in front of the experiment table and fiddled with the bottles and jars in front of him.
Unknowingly, a few months had passed. In these few months, other than settling the matters of the martial arts center and the gang, Zuo Zhicheng spent most of his time practicing martial arts and Taoist techniques. He also consumed the Spiritual Fruit every day.
Due to the existence of the Spiritual Fruit, his Innate Qi grew rapidly. The orange-yellow Innate Qi that evolved for the third time now accounted for 34% of his Qi. Obviously, the more the Innate Qi evolved, the lower the efficiency of his growth and body strength training.
As for the cultivation of Taoist techniques, the Life Plexus had already broken through the limits of the entire eyeball. This organ, which was similar to a nerve plexus, started from Zuo Zhicheng's left eye and covered his entire body. When this stage of cultivation was completed, the cultivation of Taoist techniques had reached a state where it did not leak out.
He could clearly feel the silver threads growing from his left eyeball and spreading to his entire body. Due to the existence of these threads, the parts of his body that were spreading could also begin to absorb light energy.
At this point, no matter how inexperienced Zuo Zhicheng was in the cultivation of Taoist techniques, he knew that his reborn Life Plexus was definitely not ordinary. This kind of cultivation speed was definitely far beyond the lifespan of ordinary people. Not only was his cultivation speed extraordinary, but his absorption of light energy and the efficiency of releasing dao techniques far exceeded what was recorded in the dao scriptures.
However, he had never been able to study the mysteries of his left eye. Since there were no defects, he could only let it be.
As for the cultivation of Spirit Refinement, his state of mind had already entered an indescribable state after comprehending the human emotions brought about by the massacre in the underground palace.
This was also the reason why, since ancient times, it was easy to cultivate Qi, but there were only a handful of experts who wanted to enter the third level of Self Form, Human Form, and Dharma Laws.
This kind of cultivation of the power of the mind was often difficult to describe with words. It was completely a person's understanding of their own personality, emotions, the world, reality, and nature.
Zuo Zhicheng had started with killing intent and killing intent. After a few months of meditation, he was now infinitely close to the Human Form Realm.
"Now that I'm done with this matter, it's time to go out for a walk." At this point, Zuo Zhicheng had already decided to go out to find an opportunity to break through to the Human Phase Realm, and then come back to eat the rest of the Spiritual Energy Fruits. After that, he would prepare to eliminate the Hades Serpent King in the underground palace with the members of the Shadow Corps, and seize the remaining Spiritual Energy Fruits and trees.
However, according to Qing Yueqiu, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was very thin, and the growth of spiritual food had also reached a very slow stage. Perhaps by the time they finished all the Spiritual Fruits in the underground palace, they might not be able to wait for a new batch of Spiritual Fruits to grow.
By then, if they wanted more Spiritual Fruits, they would have to find other ways.
However, this was a matter for the distant future. Now, Zuo Zhicheng still had to finish the matter at hand and go out to find an opportunity to break through to the Human Form Realm. The opportunity he was talking about was killing people. Killing a lot of people. For this, he collected a lot of information to determine his target. Once he was done with this matter, he would set off.
As for the matter at hand, it was related to the Hai Long Gang. After his reform, the Hai Long Gang became a half-black and half-white organization. Because of his existence and the support of the Shadow Corps, the Hai Long Gang was still able to survive for now. However, because of the reduction in benefits brought by the reform and the huge amount of money needed to set up an intelligence network, the Hai Long Gang was gradually unable to make ends meet.
Therefore, what Zuo Zhicheng wanted to do now was to create some benefits for the Hai Long Gang. And his choice was to make matches.
Matches, on Earth in his previous life, only became practical after thousands of years of invention and modification. In the past, it was always thought that the raw materials were rare, poisonous, and inconvenient to use, so it could not be used on a large scale.
The history of matches in this world was similar. Now, people in the Da Qi State still used flint as a fire starter. The so-called matches were mostly used to ignite a fire. The matches that could ignite a fire through friction were only used by a small number of people because the raw materials were poisonous.
What Zuo Zhicheng wanted to do was to find the necessary materials and create the safety match formula under the premise of knowing the principle. In this era where fire was widely used and every family needed it, once the Hai Long Gang started to sell these safety matches, it would be able to generate huge profits.
After all, the current flint, flint, fire starter, and wood drill were far inferior to matches. However, due to the problem of the composition of the current matches, they were poisonous, rare, self-ignited, and easily exploded.
Safety matches were mainly composed of oxidizers, flammables, and adhesives. The friction matchbox relied on red phosphorus, antimony trisulfide, and adhesives. The difference between this world's matches and his world's current matches was that the red phosphorus and oxidizers were separated, making them safer. The chemicals used were not poisonous.
After a period of research and searching, Zuo Zhicheng had basically completed the development of the safety match formula. However, the development of the Hai Long Gang had just started, so Zuo Zhicheng decided to share the formula with Qing Yueqiu of the Shadow Corps to ensure the stability of the interests.
A few hours later, Zuo Zhicheng looked at the formula on the paper and the steps to make the safety match. He sighed. It was finally completed. Next, he just needed to hand it over to the Shadow Corps and the Hai Long Gang. At least for the next few years, he would not have to worry about the financial operation of the intelligence network.
As for the specific operation, management, and sales, Zuo Zhicheng did not have much time to care about it. The reason for the existence of the intelligence network and the gang itself was to further enhance his strength. If he reduced too much of his cultivation time and even slowed down his speed of becoming stronger because of the gang and the martial arts school, it would not be worth it for him.
Especially after reading Shenzong's information, Zuo Zhicheng understood the strength of the people in this world, which made him look forward to it.
Taoist magic arts and martial arts had become his biggest pursuit now.
Now that he had finished the match, it was time for Zuo Zhicheng to break through the human phase.
