When the group arrived at the laboratory.

"Cousin, the lab isn't very big, is it? It's different from what I imagined," Bai Xiaoling remarked as she surveyed the modest laboratory.

"This is a public lab. What more do you expect? Besides, there's no electricity now, so even if the equipment were better, we couldn't use it," Guan Miao replied with a bit of annoyance, thinking about how much trouble her cousin had caused her. The people Bai Xiaoling brought along seemed like thugs.

A lecturer is regarded as valuable at an ordinary university, but at a top-tier university like this, it's a different story. In her department alone, there are two academicians, over thirty professors, and more than fifty associate professors. Unless you join a well-known professor's research project, you'll have to humbly apply to use a public lab if you want to conduct experiments.

"Where's the Divine Blood?" Guan Miao asked coldly.

Bai Xiaoling looked bewildered, still unsure what Chen Shouyi wanted from her cousin, and hadn't thought much about this "Divine Blood" thing.

Unconcerned with her attitude, Chen Shouyi reached into his pocket and took out a plastic-wrapped mineral water bottle.

"You keep it in there?" Guan Miao looked at the mineral water bottle in disbelief.

"Where else should it be kept?" Chen Shouyi retorted.

Faced with such ignorance, Guan Miao opened her mouth but was momentarily speechless.

Chen Shouyi removed the plastic wrap, and a layer of lightly shimmering Divine Blood appeared before everyone's eyes.

The two women's eyes were completely drawn to it until Chen Shouyi coughed, and they snapped back to reality. Guan Miao asked, "Do you need to separate it all?"

"That's right!" Chen Shouyi nodded.

For safety, Guan Miao donned three layers of rubber gloves and a mask, then cautiously unscrewed the bottle cap, allowing an indescribable aura to gradually permeate the air.

Nerve-wracking, oppressive.

This was the pressure exerted by a top-tier super lifeform on ordinary creatures.

Guan Miao swallowed hard, struggling to suppress the urge to flee, and continued. She used an eyedropper to extract a drop of Divine Blood, spread it evenly on a glass slide, added a staining agent, prepared a smear, and observed it under a microscope.

The more she examined it, the more her heart raced. The red and white cells inside were astonishingly active, emanating a pure golden glow as if every cell was an independent entity, harboring immense energy, an unbelievable life form.

After a while, she stopped observing.

Having initially satisfied her curiosity, she began the actual procedure.

Obviously, now was not the time for research, especially with that brute standing nearby!

She had her own motives; once the Divine Blood was rendered harmless, she hoped to keep the smear and leftover Divine Blood in the dropper. Surely they couldn't be so indecent as to take it all back.

It was a rare experimental material, hard to come by, something even national treasure-level academicians couldn't easily attain.

Since the Divine Blood wouldn't coagulate on its own, there was no need for anticoagulants; it could be poured into a centrifuge tube and separated using a centrifuge.

"Help pull the centrifuge," Guan Miao pointed to the centrifuge, explaining, "There's no power, so this is a mechanically modified manual rope-pulled centrifuge from the mechanical engineering department. If you pull fast enough, it can reach ten thousand RPM, comparable to a commercial centrifuge, although it's heavy and requires effort. Usually, I'd have two male students help me when I need the centrifuge."

Then she felt her words were unnecessary; someone who could crush leaves from half a meter away with a flick of a finger surely had no lack of brute strength.

"Just pull this rope?" Chen Shouyi, unaware of her intentions, pointed to the exposed rope of the centrifuge.

"Yes, that one!"

Then, Chen Shouyi gave it a light tug, and the centrifuge started spinning silently:

"How fast should I pull it?"

"As fast as possible; I estimate the Divine Blood is harder to separate than regular blood," Guan Miao said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shouyi began to gradually increase the speed, from once per second to twice, then three times a second...

Guan Miao stared blankly as Chen Shouyi's hand almost became a blur; it wasn't until the centrifuge emitted a piercing roar that she snapped back and frantically shouted:

"Enough, enough, not any faster!"

The speed was already likely exceeding forty thousand RPM, and any faster, she feared the centrifuge's parts would fly out.

Chen Shouyi steadied the speed immediately upon hearing this.

After about three minutes of pulling, Guan Miao called for a stop, carefully opening the centrifuge and extracting the centrifuge tube.

The high-speed rotation had yielded a successful separation, and the Divine Blood in the centrifuge tube had split into four distinct layers.

"The top layer, a pale yellow translucent fluid that occupies more than half, is plasma. This layer is harmless," Guan Miao kindly explained, assuming Chen Shouyi didn't understand.

Chen Shouyi nodded impassively.

You think I'm all brawn? I almost graduated high school, okay?

Guan Miao couldn't guess at Chen Shouyi's silent rebuttal. After using a pipette to suck out the supernatant plasma, she repeated the centrifuge process several times until microscope examination showed no impurities, declaring the process complete.

The safety testing with mice went smoothly as well.

Except for the first mouse, which received an overdose and died from ruptured organs and hemorrhage, the rest survived and became stronger and more energetic.
