    Chapter 219 of "Farming in the Apocalypse" - The Lianshan Sect reported "using essence blood to feed spirit beasts." The actual process was "feeding spirit beasts with human blood → spirit beasts advancing in rank → extracting high-ranking spirit beast blood → making pastries." Wang Yuan summarized: feed cats with human blood, then extract cat blood to feed humans. Manager Zhao said, "It's no different from chicken and fish feed." In her eyes, cultivator essence blood and chicken feed were the same thing. Li Xu only replied after hearing this: "Humans can be killed and burned, but they can't be used as food." This wasn't a statement of reason; it was the bottom line he had learned from his experience of being used as alchemy material at Blood Pill Cliff. Zhou Ruolan asked Senior Sister Zhou, "Are you trying to break up the Zhou family?" Senior Sister Zhou replied, "Of course the Zhou family will exist"—reform is not about eliminating the family, but about changing the organizational method. The first distribution emphasizes efficiency, the second distribution emphasizes fairness, and the ultimate goal is not to make money, but to fight against demonic cultivators and prepare for a more distant crisis. Finally, Zhou Xiaowu said in the group chat, "We need to cultivate three things," and the atmosphere shifted from the interrogation room to the eve of the Tianyuan Continent. Chapter 220, System Wang Yuan Explodes! Zhao Yanshu said something that seemed ordinary to us—"The personal imprint within the essence blood has been eliminated." But for Wang Yuan, those four words, "eliminating the imprint," represented his entire experience on his first day after transmigrating: he woke up as a semi-transparent soul, his body churning in the alchemy furnace. So when Zhao Yanshu uttered this phrase with the calm tone of a researcher, Wang Yuan immediately cursed in the background. From laughter to icy coldness—"Investigate, investigate to the death!"—His anger wasn't directed at Zhao Yanshu as a person, but at the act of "eliminating the imprint" itself. This was exactly the same method used by Blood Pill Cliff. Black-striped Tiger was used as a tractor by guinea pigs all night on Tianyuan Continent; the new vehicle wasn't broken in and broke down several times. Wang Dachui was assigned to build a new residence, and his first reaction was, "Such a good location should be used to build a workshop"—the craftsman's mindset never yields. Next chapter, investigating the Lianshan Sect's experimental site. Whether Zhao Yanshu's evil was unintentional or deliberate, we'll know once we see the scene. Please collect and follow!
