While Fei Yunlai and Wang Sen were discussing, in the waiting area of an operating room at Mingde University Affiliated Hospital, Fang Ranran, Lin Xi, Yu Feicui, and Guan Biran were all waiting with incomparable tension.

Tianlan Group's CEO Fang Kongfang, despite his busy schedule, had taken time out to rush over. Upon entering the waiting room, he frowned and gestured to Guan Biran and the others, "Guan, how's the situation inside? There won't be any problems with the surgery this time, will there?"

He was mainly worried about three things: one was that the Super Emperor Level Golden Core "Emperor's Chronometer" was manufactured by their Tianlan Group. This was an important step for Tianlan Group to enter the top-end cultivation enhancement market, proving their ability to create top-end enhancements.

Fang Kongfang feared that the SSS Level cultivation enhancement crafting team organized by their group lacked experience and might make mistakes.

In fact, the entire Earth Federation had relatively little experience producing SSS+ Level Golden Cores like "Emperor's Chronometer."

So far, the scientific community has identified about 83 types of fully analyzed and replicated SSS+ Level Golden Cores. During the eight hundred-year history of cultivation enhancements in the Federation, only 37 individuals have had an "Emperor's Chronometer" type Golden Core implanted.

However, the feedback from those enhanced Martial Cultivators seems pretty good, indicating that the cultivation enhancement blueprints provided by the Academy of Sciences were thoroughly researched.

Secondly, during the crafting of the "Emperor's Chronometer" this time, they used a new technology that the East Asian Academy of Sciences had been researching for over twenty years. It is rumored that a bit of the "Abyssal" essence dispatched from the East Asian Academy of Sciences was added, enabling this "Emperor's Chronometer" to undergo a further transformation, entering 'X', which is the realm of 'Deity Level', potentially, as part of what the East Asian Academy of Sciences calls their 'X Golden Core' project.

And Professor Si Malin was an important member of this research project.

Fang Kongfang really hadn't expected this consultant and enhancement expert, whom he had paid a hefty sum to recruit, to pull such a move at this time.

Thirdly, he was concerned about Lin Rui's talent; although the young man's physical condition and spiritual power were up to standard, to control the "Emperor's Chronometer," especially one blended with 'Abyssal' essence, required strong willpower.

Unfortunately, for this surgery, Professor Si Malin did not allow any onlookers. Even as the CEO, he was not qualified to watch, and he was extremely nervous about it.

"No, there won't be any!" Guan Biran was full of confidence, "CEO, rest assured, although our 3S Level cultivation enhancement crafting team was newly formed, the two top-level craftspeople we brought over from Abyss Group at a great expense have ample experience.

Besides, the 'Emperor's Chronometer' being crafted this time is supervised personally by Professor Si Malin, with three academicians from the East Asian Academy of Sciences' Department of Cultivation Enhancements participating. According to their calculations, their X Level Golden Cores are theoretically and practically sound. Lin Rui's talent could also be the most top-notch in the past twenty years, enough to bear the X Level Golden Core. They would not allow any mistakes with this 'Emperor's Chronometer.'"

Fang Kongfang nodded but still felt anxious at heart.

After all, that was the Super Emperor Golden Core "Emperor's Chronometer", the highest level of Golden Core, which even incorporated an Abyssal essence of unknown origin.

He rubbed his temples with a headache, "You all are being too rash."

Lin Rui's current momentum was very good, and he already enjoyed high popularity online.

As long as nothing unexpected happened in the future, he had a great chance of being promoted to a three-star and four-star marshal. Why take such a risk? Why insist on using this new technology?

Moreover, if the experiment failed, it would also impact the reputation of Tianlan Group. The outside world would undoubtedly heap blame, saying their cultivation enhancement technology ruined a genius.

Guan Biran and Fang Ranran exchanged glances, both looking helpless.

Lin Rui and Si Malin, one smitten and the other receptive, what could they do?

Although Tianlan Group had great influence over both individuals, they couldn't make decisions for them.

And at this moment inside the operating room, Lin Rui, while allowing Professor Si Malin to help implant the artificial Golden Core "Emperor's Chronometer", was also closing his eyes and reading a cultivation enhancement thesis projected on the ocular film.

In fact, Lin Rui could perform the Golden Core implant surgery on himself, maintaining full consciousness throughout the procedure and using his thoughts to control a mechanical arm to insert the artificial Golden Core.

However, his skill was still two to three notches below Si Malin's, especially since Professor Si Malin was an expert in human meridians. His skill in connecting enhancements with human meridians was unrivaled in the medical field, superior to any other.

Any enhancement in his hands would be much more powerful than the original, at least twenty to thirty percent stronger.

The enhancements Lin Rui had on his body were implanted by Professor Si Malin, and he now felt as if the regular twelve meridians and the extraordinary eight vessels in his body had 'come to life', able to channel True Yuan just like those artificial meridians.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before Lin Rui would have to create a unique Cultivation Technique for his original body to use his dual meridian systems.

"It's done now!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui immediately opened his eyes and saw Si Malin looking at him expressionlessly. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

"Congratulations, you've become a lovely girl."

Lin Rui, however, scoffed in disdain.

Si Malin was still trying to tease him with that joke, but he hadn't been under general anesthesia, not even local anesthesia, and had been conscious the whole time.

Si Malin, seeing Lin Rui's indifferent reaction, shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat bored.

Indeed, the guy's willpower was explosively strong, undergoing surgery without anesthesia, toughing it out without much movement throughout the entire process.

"The implantation is complete; try to sense it now. If anything feels off, let me know."

Around Si Malin, more than twenty individuals in white lab coats were looking at Lin Rui with hopeful eyes.

They were either from the Tianlan Group's SSS Level crafting team or researchers from the East Asian Academy of Sciences, among whom there were also three academicians.

Lin Rui remained calm and unaffected.

He had experienced scenes like this countless times before when he was battling leukemia.

Currently, various bio groups were quoting over 800 million Federation dollars for an SSS+ grade artificial Golden Core. The Sky Blue Group was willing to provide him with one at the cost price of 300 million Federation dollars, and even willing to guarantee a full interest-free loan for him.

Martial Cultivators with bio-implants were different from those in Tianji Star.

The 'Golden Core' of a Martial Cultivator from Tianji Star could continue to advance and evolve after condensing; it wasn't fixed for life once formed.

For someone like Blood Blade Ji, starting above the Emperor Level was already the best outcome, the best quality.

However, Martial Artists with bio-implants were different. Once an artificial Golden Core was implanted in them, it integrated deeply with their flesh, meridians, nerves, and so on. Replacing it was very troublesome and carried a great cost, potentially leading to severe bio-implant rejection reactions.

This was unlike the previous Dantian, meridians, and energy channels, which were easy to replace.

Therefore, the stronger the Golden Core they implanted now, the better, as it would determine their future.

The one that Professor Si Malin was about to implant in him integrated the most cutting-edge technology from the East Asia Science Academy, with hopes of reaching the X level in the future, the 'Emperor's Sundial'.

Since Lin Rui had taken advantage of the situation, he was certainly ready to pay the price, so he didn't mind the scientists examining him in such a manner.

He first tried to mobilize his True Yuan and blood, then felt the changes within his flesh and bones.

Lin Rui quietly marveled, "Wow, that's impressive, Professor. The initial sensing is simply perfect!"

It was truly worthy of Professor Si Malin!

Lin Rui didn't have any issues in every aspect, everything was perfect. From his initial sensing, the artificial Golden Core, due to its connection with the human meridians, was about 17% more efficient than the original theoretical value.

"The impressive one is you!" Professor Si Malin shook his head, "I didn't expect you to really agree to the X Golden Core project without any concerns about the failure rate."

He found that this guy was just like his father, with a strong gambling spirit!

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui chuckled. In truth, he was confident in his own prospects in medicine and biological sciences.

With the help of the Battle Spirit Ring, he was bound to stand at the pinnacle of the scientific research field eventually. Even if there were issues with the X Golden Core, he was confident in repairing it.

Furthermore, he already had a solid foundation in bio-tech and bio-implant technology, having reached the intermediate stage in both skills. After delving into the X Golden Core project, reviewing a series of experimental data from the East Asia Science Academy, and reading related papers, he judged that the failure rate of the X Golden Core was very small.

Moreover, a prevalent view in the scientific research community suggested that the inability of many Federation Level 9 Divine Reflections to ascend or enter the realms of Longevity and the Deep Abyss was due to insufficient foundations.

And what comprises the foundation? The Golden Core! The Dragon Armor! The Battle Dragon!

Lin Rui's lips slightly lifted, "Professor, it's quite stable from the present situation, but the final verdict still relies on the pressure test."

Only a high-intensity pressure test could detect the deep faults within the Golden Core.

"We'll proceed with that after completing the training tests," he said.

Si Malin also observed the various data when Lin Rui was moving his True Yuan, his lips slightly lifted as well, "It seems there are no major issues, and even if problems arise, they are within the adjustable range. Lin Rui, you can try to utilize the Deep Abyss concept."

Lin Rui did as instructed. However, before he could start using the Deep Abyss concept, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "What is this?"

A look of astonishment appeared in his eyes, as at that moment, a strange substance was forming inside his Golden Core.

It seemed to be the ultimate Holy Artifact of Guang Ming Holy Church—the Holy Lightning Tribulation Fire?

Lin Rui frowned heavily, wondering how the 'Holy Lightning Tribulation Fire' had gotten into his Golden Core.

He soon realized that it couldn't possibly be the Holy Lightning Tribulation Fire or its progeny.

It was something the 'essence' of the Deep Abyss inside his Golden Core produced in response to the form and essence of the Holy Lightning Tribulation Fire.

Was it related to the mark of his heterogeneous self?

Lin Rui's pupils suddenly widened in disbelief.

Could the essence of the Holy Lightning Tribulation Fire be the Deep Abyss concept and Deep Abyss essence? Unmastered concept and essence?

At the same time, Lin Rui saw a friend request pop up before his eyes.

He frowned in puzzlement.

The request window had popped up directly in front of his eyes.
