Chapter 552 Returning to the Base
"Amitabha! This is great news."

Yun Chen put away the golden tablet in his palm and said with a smile.

Yunxi slightly curled her lips and said:
"I believe that the resources of a secret realm can definitely help us advance to the Nascent Soul stage."

Xun Kun then relaxed and said:

"I observe that among the four of us, your cultivation speed is the fastest, and you should be the first among us to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

Yunxi readily admitted:

"I do feel like I've made a breakthrough recently. I'm refining the potion little by little, and I believe you should be close to it too."

"Amitabha! We were able to make such a breakthrough in such a short time thanks to the potion that Ranxi made. We really benefited a lot this time."

Yun Chen said in a rather good mood.

Yunxi shook her head and said:

"The potions I concocted only played a supporting role; advancing in cultivation still depends on everyone's daily accumulation."

Moreover, when we prevented the evil spirit and the dragon tooth from escaping the sealed land, the Heavenly Dao bestowed upon us a golden light of merit, which is the key to our rapid improvement in cultivation in a short period of time.

After overcoming all cultivation bottlenecks, the only remaining task is accumulating spiritual energy (or demonic energy). This was all earned through ten years of arduous struggle in the sealed land, and I dare not take credit for it.”

Yun Chen and Xun Kun nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Indeed, they had not sensed any bottlenecks during their cultivation. Just as Yun Xi said, these were all things they had earned for themselves.

Hanlian, who was piloting the flying boat, naturally heard the conversation between the three. She agreed with Ranxi's explanation, but this could not erase the merit of the potion. It could only be said that they were lucky to be teamed up with Ranxi.

Ten days later, the airship stopped above the research base in the heart of the desert. The four of them silently looked down at the base, all turning their gazes toward Han Lian, after all, she had once stayed here.

"We'll visit Professor Huang tonight."

That evening, in Professor Huang's private office, he was staring at the screen organizing the latest research data.

The research base has been plagued by incidents lately, forcing him to stay in his office. Despite his age, he's been forced to work late into the night organizing materials, which has fueled his resentment. While reviewing the documents, he muttered to himself:
"That idiot Nosk dares to dream of immortality."

At this moment, a clear and abrupt voice rang in Professor Huang's ears:

"Professor Huang, isn't that all your fault? You collected my DNA without permission and secretly conducted tests to determine my age. You even let Norsk see your test data, which aroused his ambition."

Professor Huang was so frightened that his heart pounded wildly, reaching 180 beats per minute. When he looked up, he saw a familiar white figure. It was Ms. Han Lian, and she was accompanied by three other people dressed similarly, all of whom were curiously looking at him.

Professor Huang jumped up from his chair, his face contorted in a grimace, and said:

"Grandma, why are you back? Nosk is searching the whole world for you. If he finds out you've walked right into his trap, he definitely won't let this opportunity pass. You'd better get out of here!"

Han Lian rolled her eyes at Professor Huang and said:

"What are you yelling about? Just call me Ms. Hanlian! I look younger than you no matter how you look at it."

Professor Huang paced anxiously in front of the four people:

"Ms. Hanlian, now is not the time to dwell on these things. I'm really not trying to scare you. You should take your companions and leave this place! This place has been under Nosk's surveillance for a long time."

And Captain Chen, he's been taken away for destroying research subjects.

Yun Xi smiled and said:

"Professor Huang, don't worry. Since we dared to come to see you, we can guarantee that we will leave unscathed. Besides, we have something to tell you."

Yun Chen and Xun Kun had already found a place to sit down, closed their eyes, and began to explore the entire base with their divine senses. If they were to set up an array, there could be no mistakes whatsoever.

Influenced by the four people's overly calm attitude, Professor Huang gradually calmed down, then slumped back into his chair, saying somewhat dejectedly:

“Ms. Hanlian, the cause of this matter lies with me. If I hadn’t collected your DNA data without authorization, it wouldn’t have attracted Nosk’s attention. He’s a madman.”

Han Lian sat down opposite Professor Huang and asked with a smile, "Aren't you curious about the reason for my longevity?"

Professor Huang shook his head and said:

"I'm not curious anymore. You must be beings that surpass Weilan Star. With our current level of technology, we are simply no match for you."

Yunxi patted Lili, who was peeking out, and said with a smile:

"You do have a good sense of self-awareness."

Professor Huang sighed and continued:

"Ever since Norsk found out that I had secretly collected data on the Cold Lotus, he has taken away everything I have about you and sent people to monitor me, preventing me from leaving the base easily."

Captain Chen lost track of you because he was misled by you. After returning to the base, he was subjected to a full-body examination by Norskra and was also restricted from leaving the base.

The next two years passed peacefully. Then, one night in the third year, Captain Chen activated the self-destruct device of the laboratory where the monsters were kept, destroying all the monsters used for research.

When it was later discovered that he had done it, he denied it outright and was then taken away by the military.

Professor Huang paused here, looked at Han Lian and said:
"Did you give him the order to destroy the monster?"

Han Lian readily admitted:

"Yes."

"But shortly after that batch of monsters was destroyed, a new batch was sent in, and the research at the research base continued."

Han Lian frowned upon hearing this, but still said sarcastically:
"Have you figured anything out?"

This time, Professor Huang shook his head:
"Nothing."

Yunxi interjected:
"How can there be any gains? Research that puts the cart before the horse is just a waste of time."

Professor Huang looked at Yunxi, swallowed hard, and asked:
Are you saying our research direction is wrong?

"Yes, and we came here specifically to ask you to make room for us."

"What does this mean?"

Professor Huang was startled and stood up from his chair again.

Hanlian waved her hand and said:
"It means exactly what it says. This base will disappear completely tomorrow. You'd better leave in advance, or you'll disappear along with this base."

At this moment, Yun Chen opened his eyes and said:

"Their people have arrived."

Han Lian then stood up and said:

"Professor Huang, please convey my message to Nosk, the person in charge of the base. You should also prepare to evacuate. If you don't leave, you will bear the consequences."

The moment Norsk and his base guards burst through the door, Hanlian and her three companions vanished before his eyes, leaving Norsk no chance to give orders.

"Professor Huang, what's going on? How did those four people get in? What did they say to you? Why have they disappeared now?"

Norsk pushed up his glasses, his sharp eyes fixed on Professor Huang. He knew that monitoring Professor Huang would yield results. Five years had passed, and Han Lian had reappeared. This time, he would definitely keep her here.

Professor Huang looked at the aggressive Norsk and sneered:

"Ms. Hanlian knows you are researching the reasons for her longevity, so she has come specifically to warn us to stop and withdraw from this research base."
