High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 108 The Crystallization of the Ancient God Zhuangzi's Destiny: Blood Cleansing Powder for Enhanced Male Virility

Inside an office on the fifth floor of the city hall.

After the soldier helped open the door, Bai Yu peeked inside and saw a white-haired woman sitting at the desk.

She wore a classic pair of metal-framed glasses, with delicate chains hanging lightly on both sides, adding a touch of scholarly elegance.

That's true! Even without knowing her, the fact that she could be with Professor Kong Shen suggests she must be a woman of elegance and talent.

"Come in."

Bai Yu walked in and quietly closed the door, afraid of making too much noise.

Upon seeing this, Old Yu revealed a slight smile.

Then, she opened the drawer and took out a letter and a faceted blue gemstone.

"This is what Old Kong left for you."

As he spoke, he pushed the two items forward toward Bai Yu.

Bai Yu looked at the envelope with a puzzled expression, as well as at the blue gemstone, which was about the size of a thumb.

Why did Confucius leave something for himself?

She glanced at Old Yu, who wore a faint smile, and said, "This is a letter that Old Kong wrote to you during the auction banquet. As for the crystal, Old Kong referred to it as the crystallization of destiny of the ancient god Zhuangzi in his letter to me. The letter should contain more details; you can take a look."

"OK."

As he spoke, Bai Yu picked up the envelope and the gemstone, and looked at Elder Yu, wondering if there was anything else.

Old Yu asked first, "Is there anything you'd like to say?"

"No, not at the moment."

When faced with this kind of person, his mind truly went blank.

We can't just say "please accept my condolences" or "take care of yourself."

I always felt that, given my position, saying such things would be incredibly lacking in emotional intelligence.

And what if he really isn't dead? Wouldn't it be incredibly awkward to tell him?

"Let's talk again next time."

"Oh? Okay."

Judging from his demeanor, Old Yu clearly didn't have much to say to him, and he wasn't used to staying there, so he took his things and left.

At the same time, he became extremely curious about the contents of the letter.

After thinking for a moment, he stuffed the letter and the jewels into the inside pocket of his clothes.

"You brat, just how many big shots have you been hooking up with behind the scenes?!"

Bai Yu glanced at Professor Wang Wen speechlessly. This guy always talks in such an irreverent way!

What does it mean to flirt?

That's because the big shots appreciate me!

Where else can you find someone as capable, charismatic, and talented as me?

"It's all because of you, old man, who keeps mentioning me in that group. Professor Kong Shen contacted me about this at the last auction."

Professor Wang Wen suddenly felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. Mainly because he had said quite a few "bad things" about Bai Yu in the group chat.

He immediately changed the subject, saying, "Alright, alright, let's go! Hurry back to your research. I'm curious to see what you've come up with this time!"

"That's definitely good stuff."

in the afternoon.

Inside Professor Wang Wen's laboratory.

Bai Yu explained the formula for the Blood-Clearing Powder and the entire preparation process.

The only problem is this spirit fire!

Professor Wang Wen, as a professor of both biology and medicine, has some knowledge of the medicinal properties of many elixirs.

"These ingredients do look like they can detoxify, dispel evil spirits, and most importantly, enhance male virility. Why don't you try them after they're done?"

Bai Yu rolled his eyes and said, "My yang energy is excessive! It's incredibly strong, you know? I don't need to replenish it at all."

"Pshaw, nobody knows, they might just be bragging."

"Hey~!!! Look at my temper!"

"Haha~ Let me give it a try."

"Alright, I'll go cultivate over there."

"Oh ho ho! So I've really become your assistant?"

"The Blood-Clearing Powder was developed by you, and you are a major contributor to the fight against the Black Blood Case. Didn't you personally oversee the entire process?"

"Oh, right, right! You're quite the smooth talker, hahaha!"

Professor Wang Wen was clearly pleased and immediately got to work.

As for Professor Feng, as a professor-level figure, even though he was from a different field, he had some understanding of the properties of spiritual materials and participated in the discussion.

The training room was arranged for us.

Bai Yu took out the envelope and the gem.

He took a deep breath and did not immediately check the contents of the letter. Instead, he began to organize his plans for scientific research.

"I've handed over the Lightning Strike Talisman, the Ten Spirits Tonic Soup, the Red Horse Herbal Elixir, and now the Blood Cleansing Powder."

"Once I hand over the magic scroll that restrains the Blood Demon, all I'll have left are the Blood Transformation Talisman and the Acupoint Opening Pill."

"The most important thing is this Acupoint Opening Pill. If we start industrial-scale refining, we can make thousands of pills per batch, just like those pills sold at the auction back then, earning tens of millions."

"The key point is that this acupoint-opening pill, combined with the Red Horse herbal medicine, has an amazing effect! It is estimated that it can increase the proportion of people who enter the Qi Gathering Realm by several percentage points."

"Moreover, I definitely can't use all these pills by myself, so I'll have to sell them to others and make a lot of money."

"Tsk tsk tsk, other people's research requires tens or hundreds of billions of dollars in funding, but I conduct research at no cost! I don't need to worry about recouping my investment at all, so the price doesn't have to be too high, which makes it easier to improve the overall strength of the human race."

"Cool!"

In addition, Bai Yu also thought of Master Kong's Eight Gates Gathering Spirit Array.

The information on this should be quite comprehensive, but it would take a considerable amount of time for Master Kong's students to fully digest it, which would definitely slow down the development of the Eight Gates Spirit Gathering Array.

But it's the Spirit Spring technique!

"The alien race must have gone to great lengths and killed Professor Kong Shen because of this."

"Then this spiritual spring must be a product of extremely special technology."

"Just like in science fiction movies, the enemy wants to block cutting-edge technology to prevent humanity from slipping out of control."

"But... even purple-grade intelligence probably can't obtain this technology, right? It's hard to say about gold-grade intelligence."

"It will take me about a hundred days to obtain a gold-level intelligence report."

"The red-grade products are even more outrageous, a thousand days!"

"Forget it, there's no need to think about that now. Let's see what Master Kong Shen has written."

He then looked at the letter, opened the envelope, and saw neat, regular script characters.

He greatly admired this kind of beautiful handwriting; back in the day, because of his scribbles...

Sigh, let's not talk about it!

By the time you read this letter, you should have already attended my funeral.

During our meeting at the manor, I had a premonition of my fate, and I also saw you, a young man standing at the crossroads of destiny.

I've told you before that everyone's life journey is unique and cannot be replicated, and every candle has its mission to illuminate the darkness.

My life journey is coming to an end, but I believe you will continue on, perhaps bringing light to a region.

The gem you hold in your hand is a condensation of the ancient god's power and a wisp of my soul. This item will shield you from some heavenly secrets and perhaps protect you for a while.

The future belongs to you young people. The road is right in front of you, walk it well.

This is letter paper, written with a fountain pen, the characters are large, and the first page doesn't contain much.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yu found it difficult to express his feelings at that moment.

So far, the people he has met have all been very good.

If even one person is incompetent, he is likely in mortal danger.

He had to admit that compared to these people, he was selfish and unable to be like them, like a candle in the night, selflessly illuminating those around him.

That doesn't hinder the worship and belief in the spirit of Bai Yu!

"Since they knew about the crisis beforehand, why couldn't they have avoided it? Why did they have to die?"

"And is he really dead?"

Overwhelmed with emotions and in turmoil, Bai Yu turned to the next page.

It reads:

I chose death, not to escape, but because it was my destiny.

Humanity is not yet capable of reversing its predetermined fate.

But I believe that we, the human race, and the Chinese nation, can defy the heavens! Just like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and the Qin Emperor's unification, they all defeated the external gods. The idea that man can conquer nature has always been our spirit.

A single spark can ignite a prairie fire, burning away all obstacles.

While the ultimate martial arts demonstrate individual strength, perhaps only in this new era can one break through all barriers.

You might have just a sliver of hope.

Professor Kong Shen did not say that if he had not seen a ray of light in Bai Yu, he might not have been able to bear leaving this world.

After all, the only thing he saw before he died was a gray and gloomy human race. How could he rest in peace and die in peace?

More importantly, a large part of the reason he chose to die peacefully was that if the Tianyuan Realm expert had engaged in a full-scale battle with the other side, then not one in ten of those present would have survived!

Even if Bai Yu unleashes his potential and survives, he will be relentlessly targeted by the alien god and destined for death.

Since Bai Yu had a better chance than him, he chose this path and followed the guidance of fate.

Moreover, he made several preparations, one of which was to condense the gem that concealed fate, to shield Bai Yu from fate, and to leave behind a more hopeful spark.

And death does not mean the end; it may be a new beginning!

However, he could not write these words to Bai Yu, the person involved, and only his wife knew half of the truth.

After reading the suicide note, Bai Yu was filled with complex emotions.

He carefully folded the letter and put it away.

Bai Yu fell into a long silence, which eventually turned into a deep sigh.

"well"

If he were to encounter this situation, he would definitely fight to the end and would never accept his fate.

Who cares about the raging flood!

Even if the alien god were to launch a full-scale attack on the entire world, he would not give up the fight and allow the alien god to kill him.

He believed that he was the only variable.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Yu tightly gripped the crystal formed from Professor Kong Shen's ancient god power and soul.

"Does it conceal one's destiny?"

"Is some alien race targeting variables within the human race, intending to eliminate them in a targeted manner?"

"No matter what, what Professor Kong Shen embodies in his life must be worn on his person!"

"We need to find a place to pack it up, lock it in glass, and hang it around our necks."

After calming himself down, Bai Yu began to circulate his energy through the Great Circulation, intending to complete today's task.

His meridians seem to have almost fully recovered.

Now, it only takes about 21 to 22 minutes to complete one full cycle, and it will soon return to the previous 20 minutes.

And so, they quietly continued their cultivation.

Around 6 PM.

Completed on Sunday!

[Obtained 1 Red Intelligence Fragment]

Bai Yu was taken aback. Red!

Thinking about it carefully, it's just good luck that I got a red one.

However, according to average probability theory, he still has to wait 1000 days.

"But at least, if I'm lucky, I might get it in seven or eight hundred days! If I'm unlucky, I won't even consider it."

"Red intelligence is so rare, we should get something beyond our wildest dreams, right?"

Anyway, he doesn't have enough intelligence points to buy purple intelligence, so whether he gets purple fragments today or not doesn't matter to him.

I glanced at the time.

"It's already past six in the afternoon. You've been working for three or four hours, it should be done by now, right?"

I stretched and felt refreshed.

"Haha, let's go see how those two old guys are doing."

Stepping out of the training room, Bai Yu was dumbfounded.

Why is the lab filled with smoke? Is it on fire?

Holy crap! There was a fire, and you didn't even notify me? How awful!

But upon closer inspection, the air was filled with a strong medicinal smell.

Following the smell towards the laboratory, the smell became even stronger.

The smoke was just thicker now.

Bai Yu looked closely and then noticed two people in white coats, looking like ghosts in the mist, doing something around each other.

"Wait, what happened between you two?"

Professor Wang Wen turned around, his expression indescribable—perhaps a mixture of excitement and a touch of shock.

"Quick, quick! Come and see the Blood Cleansing Powder you asked for! The formula you gave me is truly amazing; this Blood Cleansing Powder is really something!"

Bai Yu walked over speechlessly, wondering what this had to do with the miraculous effects of the Blood Cleansing Powder.

"No, you've made such a mess of things, what exactly is going on?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I explained, just come and take a look first."

"Alright."

As he spoke, Bai Yu walked over and looked at the brownish-yellow liquid in the pot of Chinese medicine, which emitted a sandalwood-like fumes.

This looks like the reason why the lab is in such a terrible state.

"Why is this medicinal liquid still smoking like sandalwood?"

Upon hearing this question, Professor Wang Wen excitedly replied, "You wouldn't understand, would you?! The smoke emitted by this medicinal liquid is a kind of spiritual fragrance mixed with special spiritual energy. Just smelling it can have some effect."

"For example, the fragrance released when the Linghu agarwood on the market is burned can promote cultivation."

"Besides that, you've read cultivation novels, right? During alchemy, some pills exhibit unusual celestial phenomena, emitting a fragrance that can even help people break through their cultivation levels!"

Bai Yu was incredibly surprised when he heard this.

There's even such a roundabout way to do this!

However, Wang Wen then expressed a hint of doubt: "Your recipe, although it uses more than a dozen spiritual ingredients, isn't particularly high-end. How could it produce this medicinal fragrance? That's strange!"

"No, is the Blood Cleansing Powder finished?"

"Of course! Your Blood Cleansing Powder doesn't necessarily need spiritual fire. It was initially boiled with liquefied gas and it still worked. I just didn't expect that boiling it with spiritual fire would produce this medicinal fragrance! This new world really has many mysterious phenomena that need to be studied."

Bai Yu: Liquefied gas? ???

You're a real talent!

Can't you just follow my steps obediently?

As mentioned before, for every 1000 average daily subscribers, I would increase by 300, plus an additional 10,000, which would amount to three chapters. Yesterday, I met the conditions, achieving an additional chapter for 1300 average daily subscribers. Starting today, I will update with four chapters for three consecutive days. Adding more chapters will actually lower the average daily subscriber count, as follow-up subscriptions can never exceed the average. If we reach 1900 subscribers later, it might be six consecutive days of updates.
