Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

110: The matter of the dragon blood tree, thunder cloud fruit and practice plan!Regardless, the Blood Cleansing Powder was finally completed.

This pot yielded about two liters, which can be divided into 20 packets.

However, the production cost was quite high.

The cost of the medicinal Materials was approximately 80,000 federal currency, and the Spiritual Fire, which is burned using special wood, cost 20,000 federal currency.

In other words, one packet was worth five thousand federal currency! Ordinary people simply couldn’t afford it.

Furthermore, the ingredients varied for black blood disease sufferers with different levels of severity.

Currently, it’s unknown how many potential infected individuals there are, but if we assume 1,000 people, then one packet per person would still be 5 million.

Costs related to supernatural incidents are covered by the Official, which is quite good and part of the supernatural economic system.

But Professor Wang Wen didn’t care about such small money at all!

Compared to the hundreds of millions in research funds, this Blood Cleansing Powder already had a formula; wasn’t that just too good to be true?

”Haha~ It seems 50 million was too low. When I apply for funding this month, I’ll give you a little more.”

”How much is ’a little more’?”

”Double, one hundred million!”

”Can’t it be super double?”

”Heh~! You’re quite greedy, kid! But... it’s not impossible, but it depends on how serious the Black Blood Case you’re responsible for really is. Once the Blood Cleansing Powder plays a greater role in the Black Blood Case, the higher-ups will naturally approve more funds.”

”That’s not bad! Next time, I’ll try to save money and buy out the entire auction house.”

Speaking of which, Bai Yu thought of his Dragon Blood Tree, which was still gathering dust, and blinked, saying, ”Professor Wang, I...”

”Stop, stop, stop!”

As soon as Professor Wang Wen heard Bai Yu suddenly call him ”Professor,” he knew he wasn’t up to anything good and quickly interrupted him.

”What do you want from me again, you brat?”

”...This Blood Cleansing Powder is a benefit I’m giving you, right? Would you say my contribution is significant or not?”

Professor Wang Wen sniffed the rich medicinal fragrance, thought for a moment, and said, ”It’s indeed not bad. But it’s not like I was clamoring for it. You, kid, were responsible for the Black Blood Case, which is why you came to me.”

He couldn’t speak too definitively, just in case this brat was up to something mischievous.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu realized this old man!

He immediately sighed and said, ”Alas, when you gave me your bank card last time, you also told me about spiritual plants and suggested I start some businesses early. This touched me greatly and sparked a little interest. So, I specially spent three to five... eighty million, I guess! I bought a Dragon Blood Tree at the auction house, thinking of giving it to you, Professor, to help Cultivate it.”

Professor Wang Wen couldn’t remain calm upon hearing this.

If anyone else mentioned a Dragon Blood Tree, he would think they didn’t know what they were talking about, just spouting nonsense and bragging, but what Bai Yu said...

”Look, our relationship, how should I put it, is like a friendship between generations, right? We even call each other brothers. What’s yours is mine. Come, come, come, I’ll take good care of this Dragon Blood Tree for you!”

”Professor Wang, I’m very happy that you can help me Cultivate the Dragon Blood Tree. But I don’t quite like your attitude just now.”

Professor Wang Wen immediately said, ”How about this? I’ll decide on the super double now. Two hundred million, that much money should be enough for you, kid, right?”

”Why are you... being so polite? I originally thought this Dragon Blood Tree would be most suitable for you, old man. Of course, the fruits are mine, and the tree is yours, old man.”

Professor Wang Wen’s face darkened. Was this really giving him a Dragon Blood Tree?

Wasn’t this asking him to spend money and time to meticulously Cultivate it for him? And in the end, all the fruits would be taken by him!

But this was a Dragon Blood Tree! Just planting it could lead to several major theses.

Wasn’t that appealing?

”I must at least keep one or two... three fruits, right?”

”Alright! We’ll see how many fruits it bears then. I’ll bring the tree over tomorrow.”

”Mhm! As soon as possible, as soon as possible!”

Beside them, Professor Feng was like an outsider, watching the old man and the young man in this extreme tug-of-war, feeling a bit speechless.

These two are truly...

After Bai Yu finished chatting, he remembered Professor Feng beside him and felt he shouldn’t neglect him like this.

It made him seem petty and vengeful.

I am a paragon of magnanimity!

After thinking for a moment, he asked, ”By the way, didn’t Professor Feng say he came to the city to prepare for a new research project? How’s the progress?”

Professor Feng knew the reason for Bai Yu’s sudden conversation with him and smiled.

He still replied seriously, ”Recently, a new type of unstable thunder-attribute Ore has been discovered, which the industry temporarily calls thunderstone.”

”Because the thunder attribute inside these stones is unstable and difficult to utilize, I plan to use them to research super grenades.”

Hearing this, Bai Yu spoke his mind: he actually quite liked Professor Feng’s research direction.

Violent aesthetics!

He really liked this type of supernatural Domain weapon.

Modern firepower might be one of the key points for Blue Star to turn the tide.

He smiled and said, ”Haha, when Professor Feng finishes his research, give me a few super thunderstone grenades, preferably as big as stone pillars. I’ll go fishing with them.”

”Alright! No problem.”

”By the way, when does Professor Feng plan to return to Thunder Laboratory?”

He was thinking about the sin blood research institute.

Professor Wang Wen, who was nearby, interjected, ”You, kid, don’t like Old Feng, but you don’t have to be so direct, do you?”

Bai Yu’s face darkened, and he could only say, ”So many Blood Monsters have appeared near Professor Feng, which is clearly abnormal. I’m afraid that with Professor Feng’s carelessness, something might happen. What if I attend another funeral?”

Professor Feng felt like this explanation sounded like he was being mocked.

And he also remembered the matter with his student...

But he still kept his emotions to himself. He thought for a moment and said, ”Probably around mid-month.”

”Then I wish Professor Feng great success with his super grenades!”

After a few brief chats, everyone ordered a lavish takeaway, set the table, and ate dinner in a room in the laboratory building.

Today was a day of super double good news, so everyone was in a good mood.

After eating, Professor Feng received a call, seemingly an Official order related to Thunder Spear, so he naturally left first.

Seeing Professor Feng leave, Professor Wang Wen smiled at Bai Yu, winking and seemingly hinting at something.

Bai Yu looked puzzled: ”Are you and Professor Feng not on good terms?”

”You brat! Old Feng and I have been friends for over twenty years; we knew each other since we were students.”

”Then what does that smile mean?”

”You haven’t forgotten about that Blood Demon, have you?”

”Oh, so it’s that! But I think this isn’t urgent. You already have the Blood Cleansing Powder, so you can research it for a long time.”

He said this, but Bai Yu’s real intention was to gain benefits.

Although he wasn’t suitable to stand in the open.

But if he handed over these intelligence reports, it was impossible to get nothing, right?

It was just that he had already asked for so much money, and he felt that Professor Wang Wen didn’t have much else to offer.

Anyway, he would try fishing first.

”Not urgent? Do you, kid, know the seriousness of this matter?”

”I know, but...”

Bai Yu rubbed his index finger and thumb together.

Professor Wang Wen smiled.

”Talking about money! That’s easy to say. But you don’t really have much use for so much money, do you?”

”But it can’t be for free, right?”

”That’s true.”

Professor Wang Wen carefully considered it. This matter was quite important, involving hidden dangers lurking in the shadows, which had to be eliminated quickly!

Otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn’t have distributed some samples to them and kept the researchers from knowing each other.

This couldn’t be trifled with Bai Yu!

But this little rascal also needed to be fed, and his appetite wasn’t that big anyway.

Thinking of this, Professor Wang Wen’s eyes lit up, and he said, ”I heard that the power you inherited is from the Ancient God - Zhang Jiao, which is thunder-elemental. And at the auction, you were able to burst out strength comparable to the Linghai Realm in a short period, right?”

”That’s right! That night, I was like the Thunder God descending, slaying all in my path.”

”Haha, I did hear some news. Coincidentally, I have many friends in the research circle. Among them is a friend whose main research direction is creating environments for the birth of Heaven And Earth Treasure.”

”For example, the fourth-grade supreme spiritual fruit - Crimson Flame Serpent Emperor Fruit, its growth conditions are in the soil above the lava layer, and it also requires the essence blood of the Crimson Flame Serpent.”

Bai Yu was quite looking forward to such treasures, which leaned towards Cultivation Heaven And Earth Treasure.

He started Cultivating relatively late.

It had been 17 years since the Spiritual Qi recovery!

To rapidly improve his strength, he would definitely need such treasures.

”And then? Is there anything I need?”

”Of course! lei yun fruit can be consumed at the Qi Gathering Realm. There are even more Advanced qualities above that, but you can’t control them.”

”No, no, no! Don’t underestimate me too much; maybe I can even eat those for the Linghai Realm. Even if I can’t use them, it’s good to get them in advance.”

”Alright, I’ll help you get in touch.”

”But this... still doesn’t feel like enough.”

Professor Wang Wen’s smile stiffened slightly but quickly recovered, saying, ”Oh, right, I also know a professor who specializes in taming Spirit Beasts.”

”Professor Lin Chenghua?”

”Oh? You know him?”

”Yes, I met him once when dealing with that Catfish Demon in Yun Lake. Besides the Catfish Demon, I now have a very good spiritual pet. In a couple of days, I should be able to get another one with even greater combat power.”

Professor Wang Wen fell silent.

He suddenly felt that this kid’s abilities were a bit beyond his expectations.

Although his appetite was small, he lacked few things, making him difficult to satisfy!

”Don’t rush, let me think again.”

He thought carefully and felt that he really didn’t know what would suit Bai Yu.

He could only say, ”Oh, right! That old man who researches Heaven And Earth Treasure also has another ability, which is to arrange resources needed for Cultivation for different systems. I can find him to tailor a Cultivation plan suitable for your path.”

”Think about it, you are so talented; if you also have a perfect matching Cultivation plan and various Heaven And Earth Treasure, in the future, you could reach Qi Gathering in one year, Spirit Essence in two, Linghai Realm in three, and Heavenly Essence in five!”

Bai Yu rolled his eyes. Why did this sales pitch sound so familiar?

It seemed like this was how he was tricked into considering graduate school back then.

”Are you trying to string me along?”

”How could I! You are so charismatic, talented, and gifted; can’t you achieve this?”

Bai Yu: This old man has mind-reading abilities, right?

”Emm, what you said seems to make sense.”

He also knew when to stop, mainly because he really needed to hand over the Blood Demon scroll.

Keeping it in his hands wouldn’t be very effective.

One to Director Yang, and one to Professor Wang Wen; perhaps Professor Wang Wen could research different approaches.

”Then it’s settled. The thing that restrains the Blood Demon is a Western magic scroll. The Materials needed are... do you have them here? If so, I’ll make one on the spot. As for the inscription pattern, that depends on your level, old man.”

”Materials are definitely available!”

With that, Professor Wang Wen went to the warehouse to look for them, thinking to himself, ’This matter relies on a magic scroll, and my Talisman-making skills are somewhat hard to describe.’

Bai Yu, meanwhile, began to consider.

The Blood Demon matter, Director Yang was already busy with it.

It was normal that Professor Wang Wen’s inscription proficiency wasn’t high and he hadn’t received the leftoverWaste talisman paper (discarded talisman paper) from my production.

Giving a part of the Blood Demon to Professor Wang Wen was certainly for him to research the nature of this creature.

Who knew what kind of results there would be!

’I feel like this move of mine is a bit like fraud, isn’t it?’

’However, defrauding Professor Wang Wen isn’t a big deal! I only asked for some lei yun fruits and a Cultivation plan. Moreover, it hasn’t even been fulfilled yet.’

Soon, Professor Wang Wen brought the Materials over.

Looking at the prepared Materials, Bai Yu thought for a moment and still said, ”Oh, right, the magic scroll I made was taken by Director Yang. He should also be researching it.”

”Ah? So I wasn’t the first to get it? Where’s my belt!”

”Or should I apply for a minor’s refund?”

”Bah~!”

Looking at Professor Wang Wen’s reaction, he wasn’t particularly angry.

After learning it was a magic scroll, he felt it was a bit difficult to handle.

And the superiors would definitely ask Bai Yu for it, which was expected.

As for the promised lei yun fruit and matching Cultivation plan, when he discussed this matter, he thought that Bai Yu indeed had a talent for Cultivation and shouldn’t be buried, so he planned to prepare them for Bai Yu.

After thinking for a moment, Professor Wang Wen said, ”It’s fine; it’s not my Domain anyway. The credit for the Blood Cleansing Powder is already enough.”

”However, you, kid, have to make a few magic scrolls for me. I’d like to see how your item restrains that peculiar Blood Race monster; perhaps it will facilitate my subsequent research.”

He had already tried today, and through blood and some Qi and blood-replenishing Materials, he could make a part of the Blood Demon’s tissue proliferate.

It was like a starfish; a single tentacle could grow into a new starfish.

If it proliferated like this, what would happen!

”Alright! That’s definitely no problem. And I can even give you, Professor, two free pieces of information about the Blood Demon.”

”Oh? What information?”

”The Blood Demon’s abilities. The first ability is to control the host’s behavior and emotions, and it can also emit a special substance... The second ability is evolution.”

After hearing this, Professor Wang Wen frowned deeply.

He could indeed see some clues about the second evolution ability.

But the first one!

Then his brows relaxed, and he said in a good mood, ”These two pieces of information are not bad. I will arrange the lei yun fruit and Cultivation plan for you as soon as possible.”

”Okay!”

Bai Yu immediately began making the scroll, with much higher proficiency this time.

He was busy for two hours, and Professor Wang Wen watched intently from the side.

Finally, Bai Yu used nine sets of Materials and successfully made one.

”Done!”

”I thought you, kid, knew everything; turns out you also need to practice.”

”Of course! Otherwise, I’d just directly use the Great Heavenly Thunder Palm to sweep everything, and go back to being...”

As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, his phone rang.

He checked the time.

8:44 PM

It was a call from his captain.

”Hello, Captain, what’s up?”

”How did your chat with the two professors go? There are four black blood disease patients at Xiangya Hospital, and their condition currently doesn’t look too good. You might need to come over.”
