Just now on the rooftop, when Zhou Xuan thought about gold, he wondered if he could transform cancer cells into gold molecules, thus inhibiting their growth and then stimulating his blood to expel these cells from his body. He wondered if this method was feasible.
Moreover, there is a crucial point: the objects that were transformed into gold molecules were not living objects before, except for the monsters in those sinkholes and water caves. Furthermore, none of those monsters had personally witnessed whether they were still alive or dead after transforming back to their original state in six hours. There is no way to prove this, so Zhou Xuan had to test it on living animals to see whether they were alive or dead when they were transformed back to their original state. He wouldn't dare to use this method on the old man if he didn't test it well.
Zhou Xuan placed his left hand on the glass tank. In fact, he could use his ice-energy ability on such a small object from a distance, but to achieve the best effect, he still used his left hand directly against the glass tank.
After the ice energy was released, the internal state and molecular structure of the three goldfish were clearly reflected in Zhou Xuan's mind. Zhou Xuan chose one first. Then he transformed it entirely into gold. With a ding, the goldfish's color instantly became even more golden, and it sank to the bottom of the glass tank, its mouth and eyes fixed in a fixed shape.
Zhou Xuan then transferred the ice to the second goldfish, transforming one-fifth of its tail. This goldfish, without exception, sank to the bottom of the water, but its head was struggling upwards, desperately trying to swim to the surface. However, its tail was stuck to the bottom of the glass tank, and it was powerless to do anything. But at least it was still alive for the time being, still gulping down water with its mouth wide open.
Zhou Xuan scratched his head. He decided not to touch the third fish for the time being, thinking it would be best to wait until six hours later to see if the goldfish was alive or dead after it had changed back before deciding on the next step.
With nothing else to do for the time being, Zhou Xuan took out some books he had bought before from the box and looked through them. Basic skills had always been his weakness. Although he was much better than before, he was still at a mediocre level.
I was getting a little tired from reading. I checked the time and it was only a little past one o'clock. I'd only had an hour left. My eyes were starting to feel heavy, so I decided to practice the Ice Qi Circulation. After a few rounds, I felt much better. Then I lay down on the bed and stared at the wall, wondering what it was like on the other side.
The icy air unintentionally seeped through the bed, then through the wall, and on the other side of the wall was Wei Xiaoqing!
This girl was still awake, hugging a pillow and humming as she said, "You're weird, you're mysterious, I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death, let's see what tricks you can pull now!"
Zhou Xuan was speechless. He knew without a doubt that she was talking about him. However, in Zhou Xuan's memory, Wei Xiaoqing was still the cute type. At least much cuter than her older sister, the elite Wei Xiaoyu. But Zhou Xuan had no designs on her whatsoever, that was the truth, because whenever he thought of her, he would think of Fu Ying, the girl who made his heart ache just by thinking of her!
Sigh, if, if I could see Fu Ying again, Zhou Xuan would definitely hold her hand and never let go!
Unfortunately, it may never be possible in this lifetime. With time, everything fades, and love is no exception.
I drifted off to sleep, and when I woke up, I rubbed my eyes and looked out the window; it was still dark.
Suddenly, I remembered my test. I quickly sat up, glanced at my watch—it was just past six—and went to the small fish tank on the table where the goldfish were. One was swimming, while the other two lay on their backs at the bottom of the water, their white bellies sticking out.
Zhou Xuan was startled and quickly reached in to pull them out. Both goldfish were limp. Of course, this was only in comparison to the gold itself; for the fish, their bodies were stiff. They were dead!
The golden form has reverted. The fish is dead!
Zhou Xuan scratched his head, thought for a moment, and decided to try the last goldfish again, because although the other two fish had died, they had transformed into the whole body or a part of the body, rather than into tiny cells and molecules.
Because of the old man's stomach cancer, it was impossible to completely convert it into gold. Zhou Xuan only tried this to find out if a portion or the whole thing was converted into gold. He wanted to know if the object would still be alive after being converted back. He just wanted to get that result, and now he knew. Zhou Xuan used his ice energy again to analyze the cellular molecular structure of the goldfish, and then converted a tiny fraction of the cells into gold molecules, but not enough to harm the goldfish's life.
It's like getting a small cut on your body; you'll bleed a little and lose some cells, but there's no danger to your life.

After the two instruments have converted the polar part of the fish, observe the goldfish again. They can still feel the fish swimming freely in the water.
Zhou Xuan then channeled his icy energy, stimulating the blood flow within the goldfish's body to separate the tiny molecules that had been transformed into gold, which then flowed into the bloodstream. The icy energy could also be controlled within the bloodstream.
Because fish are cold-blooded animals, the proportion of blood in their bodies is relatively small, so their movement speed is not as fast as that of humans and land animals. However, it didn't take much effort to force the gold molecules in its blood to its tail.
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment, then went to the bathroom to pick up his razor, removed the blade, and returned to the room. He took the goldfish out of the fish tank, carefully made a tiny cut on its tail with the blade, and then forced the blood out of its body with the icy air.
A tiny bit of blood came out of the goldfish's tail, but the blood was golden yellow, not red.
Zhou Xuan put the fish back into the fish tank. The goldfish continued to swim happily without any discomfort.
Zhou Xuan laughed heartily, triumphantly threw away the razor blade, went back to bed and lay down to sleep. He slept much more soundly this time. He had no doubt that he could cure the old man's illness!
This matter can be resolved. Putting everything else aside, just knowing the answer I wanted to get made me sleep soundly, and when I went to bed again, I fell asleep quickly.
I was woken up by a knock on the door, and Wei Xiaoqing's voice came from outside: "What time is it? Why aren't you up yet?"
Zhou Xuan was taken aback. He glanced at his watch and realized it was already ten o'clock!
I quickly got up and dressed before opening the door.
Wei Xiaoqing had her hair down and her face bare, making her look like a beautiful girl from a manga.
"Why don't you sleep properly? You get up and toss around in the middle of the night. Now look what's happened! Everyone's up. Grandpa even told us not to bother you so you could sleep a little longer, but you're so stubborn. You stayed up until 10 o'clock and still didn't move. Humph, the whole family is waiting for you. Are you going to let us eat?"
Wei Xiaoqing's words made Zhou Xuan blush. He quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll wash my face and rinse my mouth. I'll be right down." After saying that, he hurriedly ran into the bathroom to wash up.
After Zhou Xuanxun finished washing his face and brushing his teeth, he went into the room. Wei Xiaocai was still there, his face contorted with anger, clutching a dead fish in one hand, and fuming, he said, "You—you perverted bastard!"
Zhou Xuan was immediately embarrassed. He hadn't disposed of the two dead goldfish himself; they were still lying on the table, and in the hot weather, they were starting to smell.
This was indeed inexplicable, so Zhou Xuan could only pretend to be stupid and keep quiet.
Wei Xiaoqing thought for a moment, then put the fish into the small fish tank, and carried the fish tank outside, saying as she walked, "What a pervert! You actually killed a perfectly good, living goldfish!"
Zhou Xuan followed behind her without saying a word. In any case, his experiment had achieved its purpose, and he no longer needed to use goldfish. Let her say what she wanted.
In the living room, Wei Xiaoyu and Wei Haihong sat beside the old man. Xue Hua hadn't even gone to work; he was talking to the old man instead.
The guard isn't in the hall. He should be outside the door.
As soon as Zhou Xuan came downstairs, the old man waved him over. "Little Zhou, come and sit down!"
The old man's complexion had improved considerably. A bowl sat on the coffee table, with only a small amount of porridge remaining, clearly eaten by the old man. When Zhou Xuan was called, he felt that the old man was now just an ordinary, kind old man, lacking the imposing aura he once possessed when commanding thousands of troops.
Seeing Wei Xiaoqing angrily carrying a small fish tank, Wei Haihong asked in surprise, "Xiaoqin, what are you doing carrying that fish tank?"
Before Zhou Xuan could even sit down, he quickly said to Wei Haihong, "Brother Hong, I have something to tell you!"
"Oh!" Wei Haihong looked at Zhou Xuan, smiled, stood up, and then pulled Zhou Xuan to a room on the second floor.
Zhou Xuan entered the room, and Wei Haihong pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down and let's talk." "Brother Hong," Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I thought of a difficult problem last night, related to the old man's illness. I caught a few goldfish and experimented with it all night; two died, but the problem was solved!"
"What's the big deal? It's just two goldfish. Don't even mention them. As long as I can afford it, I'll take anything. Don't even think about it," Wei Haihong replied with a smile.
That's not what I meant.
