Chapter 44: The Experiment Begins!
Chapter 44: The Experiment Begins!
The group returned to the Uchiha Clan grounds.
From a distance, they could see the two enormous mulberry trees entwined in the courtyard.
Upon closer inspection, something peculiar became evident.
The light around the courtyard seemed distorted, as if caused by high temperatures.
However, once inside, they felt not the heat but a refreshing coolness.
Of course, this anomaly would go unnoticed if not carefully observed.
Even if someone did notice, they would likely assume it was due to a barrier or sealing technique.
No one would guess that it was caused by the towering 'Fusang Tree' placed at the top of the entwined mulberry trees, now several meters high.
Fusang Tree!
The result of Dohei's considerable blood and effort, it had earned its name.
The tree absorbed a vast amount of sunlight, making the natural energy around it more concentrated, giving the area a sacred aura.
Fortunately, the courtyard was large enough.
In a smaller area, the anomaly would likely have been detected by the Anbu long ago.
The Fusang Tree needed to be moved to a more suitable location, but this wasn't urgent.
Though only the three of them had returned to the courtyard, Uchiha Shota had already monitored the surrounding area from the shadows.
"Would you like to rest first?"
Uchiha Mei turned to look at Dohei, her eyes, hidden by bandages, seemed to exert a powerful pressure.
"No, I've been lying around long enough!"
Dohei shook his head. He had rested plenty during this time, and though his brain was somewhat fatigued from studying, his mind was incredibly active.
It was the perfect time for an experiment.
Hearing his response, Uchiha Mei didn't press further and led the way to the basement.
Upon returning to the laboratory, Dohei immediately noticed the differences.
The hidden and smooth entrance stairs, the bright lighting and design, and the numerous experimental instruments inside—all marked a significant upgrade.
The instruments weren't a recent purchase; they had been ordered a while ago and only recently arrived.
High-end experimental instruments were rarely available off the shelf and required advance orders.
Moreover, the village had to be involved to ensure a smooth purchase, as individuals had to find their own ways.
Over 200 million ryo!
The base price alone was staggering, not to mention the additional connections needed to secure them quickly.
The Uchiha Clan truly lived up to their reputation as a wealthy and influential clan.
With these instruments, Dohei's experiments would be far more convenient.
For example, extracting the essence was now a simple and efficient process thanks to the advanced equipment.
Bubbles formed and popped.
The sound came from the three-meter-high, meter-wide cylindrical transparent glass 'life support chamber' filled with green liquid, continuously bubbling from below.
It was a nutrient solution!
A liquid that could sustain the human body, and it was extremely expensive.
Just one chamber cost millions of ryo.
What a waste!
But the focus wasn't on the nutrient solution; it was on the slender figure floating within.
Yes, the life support chamber contained not just the nutrient solution but also a floating figure, wearing a breathing mask and a form-fitting outfit.
However, her right leg was missing below the knee, leaving this otherwise stunning young woman's body somewhat incomplete.
Hyuga Aozuki!
She had arrived early to prepare for the experiment.
This formal experiment was vastly different from the data gathered from experimenting on prisoners.
During this time, Hyuga Aozuki's condition had been optimized with the help of the nutrient solution and care.
The key was the absence of 'interference.'
Factors like food and environment that could affect the experiment were controlled, increasing the chances of success.
"Let's begin!"
Tang Ping's gaze shifted away from the others. If not for the two people watching him closely, he might have criticized their improper posture. But now, he had to get straight to the point.
First, he needed to calculate the required dosage of the potion based on Hyuga Aotsuki's physical data.
Then, he would begin extracting the New Life Potion.
Unlike other potions, the 'vitality' of the New Life Potion was crucial. The fresher it was, the better the effect. Therefore, the best approach was to extract and use it immediately.
Special lizards were used as the primary ingredients, and their materials and blood were extracted. With the extraction device, Tang Ping managed to get what he needed in less than two hours.
Throughout the entire process, neither Uchiha Mei nor Uchiha Shizuka glanced his way. They were here to observe the experiment, not to steal his techniques.
Tang Ping pricked his fingertip.
Blood!
His special blood was the core of everything. Without it, the New Life Potion would be ineffective or even toxic.
The originally murky potion turned green as his blood dripped into it.
The potion was ready!
Tang Ping carefully placed the New Life Potion into the automatic injector on the side of the life support chamber.
The expensive equipment proved its worth. The New Life Potion was slowly injected into the unconscious Hyuga Aotsuki.
This was the method Tang Ping had devised. From the data he had collected, he realized that pain exceeding the human threshold needed to be mitigated. He improved the process by injecting the potion while the patient was unconscious, slowing down the potion's activation, and using nutrient solutions to sustain the regrowing limb.
With these multiple improvements, he felt confident enough to use Hyuga Aotsuki as a 'test subject.' If he didn't have the confidence, he wouldn't have let her take such a risk.
There was no need to reveal his careful planning.
After the injection, Tang Ping began working on the control panel of the life support chamber.
Of course, he could have ignored it after the injection, but that would have significantly reduced the success rate. To ensure the experiment's success, Tang Ping was putting in his best effort.
With a swift motion, he used the surgical knife inside the chamber to make an incision at the stump of Hyuga Aotsuki's right leg.
However, instead of gushing blood, the wound slowly began to sprout new flesh, weaving together.
The New Life Potion!
Its effects were taking hold.
But the growth was slow, and Tang Ping had to make adjustments frequently to keep the process under control.
In the future, he could certainly develop a more refined and safer method, but he had no intention of doing so. This technique was for his own use and the benefit of those around him, not to benefit the entire ninja world.
The experiment took much longer than before, but neither Uchiha Mei nor Uchiha Shizuka showed any signs of impatience. They understood that this was a groundbreaking experiment, a true 'miracle.'
Even with all his efforts, Tang Ping could only spread the potion's effects over a day, not longer.
Still, what was once impossible was now a possibility.
A day later, the situation inside the life support chamber had changed dramatically.
"Now, let's witness the miracle!"
Tang Ping's hoarse voice echoed as he pressed the button in front of him.
What followed was indeed a miracle, a first-of-its-kind miracle.
