Chapter 160: Clones (1/2)
Alex sat down on his bed and looked at the book in front of him. ”The hell did I pick up?” he wondered with a strange face as he looked at the title on the page.
How to create a clone.
”A clone? Like another one of yourself? Master didn't say anything about these other than that it existed,” he thought as he started reading. The book in fact told what methods one could use to make different clones. It didn't teach the 'recipe' on how to create a clone but taught more of the methods to create one.
The first method mentioned in the book was using dead bodies. If you took a recently dead body, you could have it resurrected with a part of your soul inside of it.
The upside of this method was that there was no other requirement aside from a few materials to fix the corpse before resurrecting it with your own soul.
The downside was that it took forever to properly integrate your soul into the body since it used to host another one. Also, it needed the real body to control it at all times, otherwise, it would be like a mindless puppet.
The second way mentioned was to grow another body using a sample of the real body to create an entirely new body. This new body would grow a soul and mind of its own with memories from the real body.
The upside of this method was, the clone had its own mind and had free thought. The growing process could be accelerated if needed, and the clone would be ready in just a few weeks. The real body also didn't need to provide part of its soul to cultivate a new body.
The downside of this method was that the clone could not be controlled by the real body at all. Also, the clone did not have any unique bodily constitutions or spiritual roots. Meaning, the body was born a mortal.
There were possibly other ways out there, but the book only mentioned the two. ”So, I could make a body of my own? I wonder how that would work.” He wondered.
After he finished learning the book, he kept it inside and decided to immerse himself into the other knowledge he had gathered the last few days. Some regarding cultivation, some regarding talismans, some regarding formations, some regarding artifact creation, and most of all regarding alchemy.
He had managed to find alchemy books that recorded stuff he hadn't read even in Hong Wu Sect. ”So the explosive pills that Huo Tu used most likely came from Spring Song sect, huh. And the talismans from Little Dawn sect?” he wondered.
”Oh yes, this is interesting. Making specific pills catering to specific requirements. Finding out new recipes on your own? Can I even do that his early?”
At this point, he knew about a couple of hundreds of recipes and needed to understand the reason behind why they did what they did. ”I should start focusing on the elemental aspects of the pills more,” he thought.
