Taking down the Du Family wasn't a decision Wang Qi made on a whim. The action was the result of meticulous calculation to maximize benefits.
First was the research on the Heart Demon Curse.
The more people infected, the more data on the Heart Demon Curse was available, and the deeper Wang Qi and others' understanding of the Heart Demon Curse became.
Then there was manpower.
Chen Feng hoped to find a way to directly refine the Spell Power of the Heart Demon Curse. Without a deep understanding of the physical properties of the Spell Power, it was a process dependent on luck. Once the general direction was set, the efficiency of Grandmaster-level scholars and laymen conducting experiments wasn't very different.
In fact, many experiments, especially those in the field of biology, are like this, more physically intense than mentally. Summarizing experimental results into laws was the real mental work.
