Chapter 15 Experimental Breakthrough
In Laboratory No. 3, at the morning meeting.

"This is the new ghost rider Li Jun, everyone please get to know him." Wang Xiaoming introduced Li Jun to everyone in the laboratory.

After everyone got to know each other, we began to arrange today's experimental tasks.

After the meeting, Wang Xiaoming stopped Chen Wei and asked her about the problems she encountered in the experiment. He also discussed the possibility of the experiment with other experimenters.

Since deciding to research the two supernatural materials, his laboratory has been divided into three teams.

Among them, Laboratory A is conducting research on suppressing the supernatural, led by Chen Wei, and Laboratory C is conducting research on supernatural gunpowder, led by Pang Dong.

Laboratory B is run by Cui Chongshi to carry out past experimental projects.

Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun first came to Laboratory No. A, where the most complete supernatural materials were stored. Of course, each supernatural material was only a small part and was only used for experiments.

There is a workbench with a complex microscope on it. This is where Wang Xiaoming uses it to observe supernatural runes. The last time it was used was to observe Cao Yang's blood.

After observing all the supernatural materials yesterday, Wang Xiaoming set his sights on the ghost rider's body.

As humans who have been in contact with evil spirits for the longest time, even if their bodies are not made of supernatural materials, they will become different due to long-term contact, and the supernatural power contained in a short time will not dissipate.

He directly told Cao Yang his idea at that time, and Cao Yang naturally did not refuse. Wang Xiaoming first took a part of the skin fragment and put it under a microscope for observation, and indeed he saw the mysterious runes.

Later, in order to make a comparison, he drew blood from Cao Yang again for observation. Under the effect of the psychic vision combination technique, he found that the spiritual power contained in the blood was more intense, the runes were more complete, and could be preserved longer.

This is also the reason why he asked Zhao Jianguo for the ghost rider's blood in the end. Even if he got a part of the ghost rider's body, it would be impossible to send it to him immediately. It would inevitably take a certain amount of time and the supernatural power would be lost in the process.

Blood will retain more supernatural powers.

When Zhao Jianguo delivers the ghost rider's blood he needs, the rate at which he can digest the potion will be further improved.

After arriving at the workbench, Wang Xiaoming directly told Li Jun that he wanted his blood for research.

Li Jun agreed without hesitation. He also took the initiative to ask how much was needed as he had more blood.

Wang Xiaoming refused him and just took a drop of blood. Unlike ordinary people's blood, the ghost rider's blood was obviously more viscous and dark red in color, as if it would solidify at any time.

After skillfully placing the thin slice specimen made from Li Jun's blood under the microscope, Wang Xiaoming looked at the microscope and adjusted the magnification. Soon he saw the cells in Li Jun's blood.

First, I opened my spiritual vision, and saw numerous twisted creatures constantly shuttling back and forth in a green light. There was also a blue light flashing among them, but it was suppressed at the bottom of the green. The green light represented the will-o'-the-wisp, and the blue light represented the ghost tree.

They are all extraordinary lights that appear in spiritual visions.

It was obvious that the magical power of the will-o'-the-wisp had suppressed the ghost wood. In the past, when Li Jun was controlling the ghost wood, his entire body turned into a wooden man. Whenever he went out, he was "fully armed", with only his eyes exposed.

Since controlling the will-o'-the-wisp, Li Jun's appearance has returned to its original state. This is a sign that the ghost wood is suppressed. Wang Xiaoming even suspects that the ghost wood in Li Jun's body has completely died.

Combining clairvoyance with super vision, everything in front of him became clear, and all the mysterious runes in the blood appeared before his eyes.

"One, two, three..."

Wang Xiaoming counted silently in his heart, and soon he found out the number of supernatural runes in the blood.

"There are a total of twenty-five runes. He is indeed a ghost rider who controls two evil spirits. There are ten more runes than the spiritual runes in Cao Yang's blood."

Wang Xiaoming thought about it and stopped wasting time, devoting himself to memorizing the supernatural runes.

Soon, Wang Xiaoming raised his head and rubbed the sore corners of his eyes. Just now, he had memorized the magical runes in Li Jun's blood.

He then took the opportunity to identify the blood. He wanted to know what kind of supernatural properties the blood infected with the power of ghost fire possessed.

However, he was very surprised by the identification result, and the supernatural nature of it even gave him a hint of inspiration.

"Li Jun, how is your spiritual balance now?"

"The ghost wood in my body has completely died, but it's not a big problem. The ghost fire is parasitic on the ghost wood, so as long as we don't overdraw it, there will be no problem." Li Jun answered seriously.

"That's good. Next, I want to use your will-o'-the-wisp to conduct some experiments and I need your cooperation." Wang Xiaoming expressed his thoughts.

"No problem, but I'm here to protect you and can't be too far away from you." Li Jun did not refuse.

"Of course, come with me. If this experiment succeeds, it will definitely change the world."

Wang Xiaoming looked at Li Jun with a righteous face, and recalled the information he had just obtained from using the identification spell.

'A supernatural material that has the power to ignite, turn wood, and infect, suitable for making explosive items.'

It is another material that can be used to make explosive supernatural items, and unlike orange-yellow crystal, it has the ignition power of ghost fire.

It was after seeing this identification result that Wang Xiaoming thought of the experiment of adding the ghost fire to the supernatural gunpowder.

In Wang Xiaoming's opinion, ordinary methods cannot cause any reaction from the orange-yellow crystal, so what about using supernatural powers?
Will-o'-the-wisp is also a special existence among the supernatural beings that Wang Xiaoming knows about. Its main feature is that it can ignite supernatural powers, which is very helpful for studying supernatural powers.

Orange-yellow crystal is a special material with supernatural powers. When ignited by the will-o'-the-wisp, it will definitely undergo special changes.

After confirming Li Jun's condition, Wang Xiaoming took him out of Laboratory A and came to Laboratory C, which was researching supernatural gunpowder. In order to prevent the orange-yellow crystal from exploding violently and causing damage, Laboratory C had been specially upgraded so there was no need to worry about explosions.

At the same time, Wang Xiaoming told Li Jun his ideas and told him the experimental process.

Supernatural...gunpowder?!

A supernatural... bomb?!

These unrelated things are combined together? Li Jun was a little dizzy for a moment. Can this thing really be researched? He couldn't help asking himself in his heart.

Wang Xiaoming did not give Li Jun too much time to adapt, and the experiment was quickly arranged under his command.

Li Jun was sent directly to the observation room, where there was a golden laboratory table with a small amount of orange-yellow crystals placed on it for experiments. Because Li Jun possessed the ghost domain, no one had to worry about his safety.

In the observation room,

Under Li Jun's control, the will-o'-the-wisp accurately hit the orange-yellow crystal on the experimental table. A dazzling white light suddenly burst out from the place where the two touched, followed by a large amount of gray-white smoke.

For a moment, Wang Xiaoming and others outside the laboratory were blinded by the white light and burst into tears.

Fortunately, the white light only lasted for a short time and was blocked by the golden glass, so it did not cause much harm to everyone, only temporary blindness.

Li Jun had already hidden in the ghost realm, and due to the isolation of the ghost realm, he was not affected.

Blindness did not affect the joy of everyone in the laboratory because their experiments had made a breakthrough.

The orange-yellow crystal finally began to explode, which meant that they were not far from successfully producing the magical gunpowder.

Later, under the command of Wang Xiaoming, they made many attempts, such as igniting orange-yellow crystals in water, igniting orange-yellow crystals in a vacuum, making bombs with the smallest amount of yellow crystals to test their power, and so on.

The entire experiment ended only when Li Jun expressed the need to rest. Although there were several unexpected situations during the experiment, there was no danger due to the presence of Li Jun, the ghost rider.

Fortunately, Li Jun owns the ghost domain. If he were an ordinary ghost rider, he would be in a very bad state even if he was not dead.

After Li Jun came out, he saw Wang Xiaoming staring at the computer and analyzing data. At this time, Li Jun was filled with shock and admiration.

He had known Wang Xiaoming for a long time and had heard about some of his deeds. He even had a new ghost-exorcising ringtone that he had developed on his cell phone.

He had already raised his expectations for Wang Xiaoming, but Li Jun was still surprised by this experiment. As a soldier who had been on the battlefield and was responsible for dealing with supernatural events frequently, he knew clearly the power of thermal weapons and the horror of the supernatural. If supernatural gunpowder could really be developed, then the situation of mankind would definitely be much better.

When he saw Wang Xiaoming finish reading all the data and stand up from the workbench, Li Jun took the initiative to step forward and ask:

"Professor Wang, what are the results of the experiment?"

Wang Xiaoming smiled and did not answer immediately. Instead, he called all the experimenters together before saying:
"Everyone, with the help of Li Jun, this experiment successfully completed the preliminary research on the supernatural gunpowder. Let us applaud to express our gratitude to Li Jun."

In an instant, Laboratory C was filled with applause. Li Jun stood aside, at a loss, and a blush appeared on his originally resolute face.

It was not until everyone left that Li Jun got rid of the awkward situation and said in a resentful tone: "Professor, you just flattered me too much. I didn't do anything."

"But reputation," Wang Xiaoming looked at Li Jun with sharp eyes, "You don't know how important you are."

"Anyway, I'm going to be busy with the next experiment, and I'll need your help."

Wang Xiaoming was quite clear about Li Jun's character and knew that he would definitely not refuse his request.

"No problem. As long as the professor's experiment requires it, I will do my best to help." Li Jun agreed without hesitation because he knew how important the research on supernatural gunpowder was to the world.

Sure enough, Li Jun agreed.

A new experiment began, and the name of the experimental project was changed to "Zhurong Fire", and the orange-yellow crystal was officially named "Zhurong Stone".

This name carries the hope of everyone in the laboratory. One day, Zhurong, the fire god from the south, will use his flames to burn away all the evil spirits in the world.

Previous experiments have proved that Li Jun’s ghost fire can detonate the Zhurong Stone. The purpose of the next experiment is to find a more convenient detonation method.

After all, you can't have Li Jun around as a human lighter every time you detonate the Zhurong Stone.

This is also the original reason why they studied supernatural gunpowder, which is to create supernatural bullets that everyone can use.

Wang Xiaoming then drew some blood from Li Jun for experiment. Fortunately, Li Jun was not an ordinary ghost rider at this time. Even if all his blood was drawn out, he would not die.

Moreover, Li Jun possesses the supernatural power of the ghost wood and has amazing recovery ability. There will be no shortage of supernatural materials for the Zhurong Fire experiment.

Just when Wang Xiaoming was putting his energy into the experiment, in a shooting range in the urban area of ​​Dajing City, a young man dressed in all branded clothes suddenly vomited blood and fainted, causing a chaos. Soon afterwards, the young man was carried away by a group of bodyguards in suits.

When the shooting gallery manager heard what had happened, the young man had already been sent to the hospital by bodyguards. The manager quickly called his boss to tell him what had happened.

Because of this incident, the city of Dajing became turbulent, and luxury cars kept rushing to the hospital where the young man was.
