With the information about a new Element, Thomas and Fábio wanted to understand more, to know if Fear is dangerous for them.
As such, they bought new land in secret, then with Kai's instructions, formed a laboratory for their needs.
Kai didn't find the lab very interesting, as the items possessed… are very… backward!
He comes from the 21st century, the science is advanced and he has all kinds of tools that help with paranormal research.
The good thing is that he already knows a lot of things and with the support of his Inner Energy, he can perfect what he already knows.
But the main focus of the Laboratory was to practice their Rituals with the support of Internal Energy, while slowly increasing their Paranormal Exposure.
At the same time, he found that after reaching 10 Years of Internal Energy, his Gross Energy accumulation and refinement speed increased by 40%.
1 day of cultivation for him is easily equivalent to 1 week now, so 1 year for him would be around 2 months.
Such a cultivation speed for a child of only 8 years old, what would the world think?
...
With increased Clan support, Kai began to upgrade the Meat Balls.
In your past life, they didn't exist, their effects, of course, did. But the consumable item in question, no!
It was technically impossible to manufacture such items without it being some artifact.
This is due to the fact that there is no way to gather the Blood and Death Element into some ingredients, stabilize them for later use.
Naturally it was only possible here due to Internal Energy, Kai wanted to test if it was possible and it was possible!
Naturally he failed a lot, but he finally succeeded in adding the Ritual of [Flesh Healing], which is a mixture of Death and Blood.
Normally it would be impossible for someone with less than 50% Paranormal Exposure to do this, as Rituals that combine 2 Elements are quite complex.
Kai naturally only made it through the help of Internal Energy, his knowledge of the past and luck!
As he incorporated 2 Rituals of 10%, which is [Heal] and [Fill Wound], he could combine them into the materials and use Internal Energy to shape them and it resulted in the Meat Balls.
A lot of explanation for something simple, but that's right.
But that wasn't all Kai was interested in, before it was impossible to do Rituals this way, but now that he can, the amount of possibilities has become endless, he can even try combinations previously seen as impossible!
He also has thoughts of seeing if he can restructure someone's body, making them more adaptable to Martial Arts, unblocking all of their Martial Veins, and doing the same to himself as he did to others.
He believes it possible, naturally it would not be in the past life, since the Paranormal could only be used on oneself, to affect others, they were Rituals of attack, suppression or control.
But with Internal Energy, which is very malleable and versatile, your range of opportunities only increases infinitely.
Now with the clan's support, Kai found himself full of work and thoughts, this frustrated him a bit, so he decided to focus on creating the Meat Balls, improving them as best he can, that will be his focus for years to come.
'Immunity to Poison... can I create a medicine to give someone that trait?' - Kai asked himself calmly.
Around 40% of Paranormal Exposure, one can go through rituals to acquire a body resistant to poison, in special cases, it even becomes immune.
Kai is now curious if he can engrave this Ritual on potentially poisonous materials and herbs, then give it to someone to eat, likely to cause pain and health problems for a while, but after that, by his calculations, it will drastically increase someone's Poison Resistance, as well as giving increased Resistance to the Paranormal as well.
For your family who are unaware of the dangers of the Paranormal, it would be good to give them the ability to resist if they encounter such creatures.
Kai also saw that he needs to investigate more about the Other Side of this world, because even if little, he feels the Membrane getting weaker, it means that someone is doing something wrong.
But little does he know, that he is the cause of this weakening, his very existence causes it!
…...
Time passed without major events, with the Snizer Clan gaining a new Exalted Realm Master, its power in the region increased dramatically, many came to congratulate and get closer to the Clan.
Many new contracts started to come in, so the Clan was full of services, which helped with the finances and the name of Clan Snizer alone is enough to make any bandit rethink their actions.
So 80% of escort jobs ended peacefully, the remaining 20% were fools trying their luck.
Thomas secluded himself a few months after returning to the Clan from the Silver Mountain Clan quest, where he went is anyone's guess.
But Thomas returned a few months later, his aura more powerful, but he still hasn't reached the Unrestricted Realm, it can be said that he is standing on the wall, trapped by a rope, he tries to fall to the Unrestricted Realm, but the rope obliges him. prevents.
In the period that Thomas came out of his isolation, the Hilton Family started to be more communicative, sending gifts, Galiam made many visits and showed his obvious interest in Kai, talking about how handsome he is, even though he has such pale skin, saying that he is up to charm.
And it turned out to be true, as his 7-year-old daughter, 1 year younger than Kai, whose name is Calliope, really enjoyed being with him.
Kai didn't understand it himself, but he believes it to be Galiam's work.
He of course, had to act friendly, he didn't have to antagonize the girl, as both families have great relations, he didn't have to make her worse.
...
When Kai turned 12, it was at that time that he finished his tests, in several cages, there are monkeys, wild boars, dogs, wolves, cats and among other animals.
Everyone was silent, they were terrified of Kai, as he had caused them so much pain in the last few months.
Kai used them to test the [Poison Immunizing Drug] and the [Suffering Antidote].
The [Antidote of Suffering] is a pill with a 5-year shelf life, which can cure most poisons that would have effects on Exalted Realm Masters and below, with a few exceptions.
Such an item was made with the Rituals of [Detoxify], [Increase Immunity] and among others, years of failures, but in the end it worked!
As for [Poison Immunizing Drug], he is still thinking of a better name, but for now it is what it is.
This drug will give immunity to several poisons used in its creation, around 473 poisons to be exact, as well as many even deadlier combinations, Kai had a lot of work on that.
As for what he tested it on... needless to say by the look on the poor animals.
Kai has sacrificed hundreds of animals over the past few years, but in the end he managed to make a cat immune to poison.
Animals naturally have a high immunity to poison, but here he actually became immune to most of them and his resistance to it skyrocketed!
Kai after giving them the drugs, began periodically injecting him with poison, he did the same with other animals that survived the drugs, until he started doing it in monkeys.
And here we are, successful research, he estimates he spent around 40,000 Gold Coins in the last few years on this project alone, but it was worth it.
…...
Today is the Clan meeting day, many people are present, Thomas' wives, Thomas himself, most of his children, even Kai is present.
As well as the 12 Clan Elders.
It started with a standard expense report, until specific topics started to be said, until it reached Kai.
"Patriarch, I wish 2,000 Gold Coins so I can start a new project." - Said Kai calmly.
"Which?! OBVIOUSLY NOT!" - Roared Sasha getting up furious.
"You've already wasted almost 50,000 Gold Coins in the last few years, now you want to start another project?! Do you think we're shitting gold?!" - Sasha was all red.
For the last few years, she has been raging about Kai, how much her husband favors him and now their son too, she doesn't understand, which makes her even angrier as Kai's spending has affected her too.
"Kai, please don't tease my mother." - Said Fabio sighing.
"Sorry, I can't help it…" - Said Kai calmly, but it wasn't just Sasha he was pissing off.
"The project I've been working on for the past 3 years has been a success!" - Said Kai, soon picking up a box and putting it in front of Thomas.
He then opened the box, a strong sweet scent of herbs flew over the room.
"Is that Sweet Scent Poison?! Do you want to kill us?!" - Roared one of the Elders exerting his Internal Energy, others did the same when listening to him.
"No need, suppress the poison in the smell, which was due to the pollen of the flower, I just kept the smell as I liked it." - Said Kai calmly and continued. - "I also managed to produce some perfumes with that smell, taking the effect of the poison is not a big deal."
"Well then, please tell us about your project." - Thomas said calmly, everyone else also calming down.
"Over the past 3 years I have been researching 2 types of pills, one which is an Antidote, it will immediately cure most poisons up to Exalted Realm Level, poisons that can kill even an Unrestricted Level Master, due to inability of funds and opportunities, I couldn't do much, I estimate that each of these antidote pills could easily be sold for 5,000 to 8,000 Gold Coins, which can be doubled in the case of an Auction!" - Said Kai calmly.
"Did you manage to create an antidote for the 473 poisons?" - Asked Fabio.
"No, I created an antidote for the 473 poisons and over 2,844 combinations of them, maybe more, that's a lot of calculations!" - Said Kai calmly and then continued.
"My second project, on the other hand, was the one I devoted the most time to, creating a pill that will permanently give Poison Immunity to whoever ingests it, it's practically the previous Antidote, only permanent, as well as permanently increasing Resistance to unlisted Poisons !" - Said Kai calmly.
"Did you really make it?!" - asked Liliana shocked, naturally knowing about this.
"Yes, in the last 4 months, after successfully finishing the first pills, I tested it on several animals, poisoning them continuously, but the result was always the same, it didn't affect them anymore, human tests were not done for obvious reasons, but by my calculation, there is a 98% certainty that it will have the same effects in humans!" - Said Kai calmly.
"What about that 2%?" - Asked an elder.
"The 2% are unknowns, likely situations that I haven't noticed or calculated, like someone being allergic to the pill, or naturally having a resistance to it!" - Said Kai calmly.
"How much do you think we can sell such a pill?" - Asked another Elder.
Kai scratched his chin thoughtfully, so Sasha said without noticing the presence of the others, in her own mental world. - "Antidotes in general with more than 1,000 poisons will already cost above 5,000, but one with a permanent effect and useful even for Unrestricted Realm Poisons, likely that 150,000 Gold is the minimum price… how many can you manufacture?"
Kai looked at her, then said calmly. - "I manage to breed 1 to 2 a week, then 4 to 6 a month, but if I perfect my breeding method, I believe that making 5 a week will not be a problem."
"How many do you have at the moment?" - Asked an Elder.
"Only the 3 in the box." - Kai said.
The room was silent for a while, until Thomas spoke. - "For the moment we are going to do more tests, see if it really works in human beings, Caio, look for some volunteers!"
"Understood!" - Said Caio bowing.
"And I strictly forbid any words about this to leave here, if this information is found to be leaked, the culprit will pay with his life and that of his entire family!" - Thomas said grimly, his killing intent exploding.
…...
"I still don't understand, why expose my studies like that to everyone?" - Kai asked his father calmly.
Thomas was having tea, Fabio sitting beside him, doing the same.
"My mother is becoming increasingly irritable and out of control due to her financial support, as well as the fact that her mother has officially become the 3rd Wife." - Fábio said calmly, feeling a headache thinking about his mother.
God only knows how much he loves and respects his mother, but sometimes he wants to throttle her!
"You need to be more accepted by the Clan, if you want more support, try to show more of your capabilities, because in this world, people only respect and follow the strong!" - Thomas said seriously.
Kai sighed, but understands that's the case.
"Dad, I believe you have thoughts of periodically putting the antidotes and poison immunization up for auction, right?" Kai asked.
"In fact, should information leak out, even High Level or Higher forces will be interested." - Thomas said.
"I see, it's better to sell them anonymously, at least for now, we can't afford the consequences of being able to create such items, likely that some Sect, Clan or Family that deals with poisons might come and bother us." - Said Kai calmly.
Thomas wanted to say something, but he was embarrassed, if he hadn't stagnated at the pinnacle of the Exalted Realm, his confidence would be even greater and his family's range of influence would skyrocket.
Finally, the Snizer Clan would go from a mid-level force to a high-level force!
"Dad, take it!" - Said Kai calmly as he passed a pill with the poison immunizer.
Thomas looked at it and put it away.
"Go into isolation, prepare enough supplementation pills for 2 to 4 weeks, as indeed you will be quite weakened, I don't know how much, due to your strength." - Said Kai calmly.
"What about me?" - Asked Fabio smiling while pointing to himself.
"Settle for antidotes for now, we can't lose our 2 Exalted Realm Masters like this." - Said Kai rolling his eyes.
Fábio opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but shut up.
"Well, how about the 2,000 Coins you asked for? Was it really a joke?" Thomas asked, changing the subject.
"No, I'm curious about some Rituals, for that I need high quality ingredients, I think I'll have a method to make myself even stronger!" - Said Kai calmly.
"I see, if that's the case, I'll make 5,000 Gold Coins available, I expect a lot from you son." Thomas said smiling.
Kai nodded, but then said. - "Take care of your hair, they are turning gray."
"What?!" - Thomas's smile froze, quickly going to a mirror and indeed, he found some white hairs.
"As?!" Thomas shivered at the sight.
Fabio didn't say anything, he just held back a laugh, he actually showed up a few weeks ago, but nobody said anything.
"I hope you don't dye your hair, it will look dull." - Said Kai before getting up from the chair and leaving the room.
Thomas let out a big sad sigh, finally, at the age of 55, his hair started to turn white.
If he were an Unrestricted Realm Master, his hair would last a few more decades, but that's not the case, unfortunately.
…...
Kai in his hut, let out a long sigh while naked, golden sigils surround him, as well as several red, black and purple sigils.
The 4 Paranormal Elements surrounded him, supporting his cultivation, currently having exactly 25 Years of Internal Energy!
And along with that, Kai has 45% Paranormal Exposure, he knows he will soon reach 50%, where he will need to go through the [Ritual of Transcendence].
When an individual reaches 50% Paranormal Exposure, it means they have reached a balance between reality and the Other Side.
Through the [Ritual of Transcendence], he will be allowed to safely exceed this percentage, being able to have more of the Other Side inside him than Reality itself.
Kai knows how to create the Ritual of Transcendence, but what he wants is a special one, with the support of Internal Energy and energy-rich materials, coming from animals, monsters, herbs and even other Martial Artists.
Not to mention that Kai has been secretly creating Blood Zombies, plenty of Death Slime, Chaotic Spirits and other types of Paranormal Creatures.
What's your goal with them? Strengthen them so that he can use certain ingredients to create a powerful [Ritual of Transcendence], so that he can get even more benefits.
And the act of Transcending is not simply the ability to have more of the Other Side within you, more a qualitative change, where the affinity with the elements will increase significantly, combining Elements will become much easier, as well as depending on the type of Ritual of Transcendence done, one can improve one's physical abilities to a great extent, or increase one's reserves of Paranormal Energy.
Kai believes that once he Transcends, he will become on par with an Exalted Realm Master!
