High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 144 I'm about to enter the Mahayana stage! (Thanks again to Jia Ling for the generous donation of 10,000 coins)

Half an hour later.

The convoy heading towards the Thunder Labs area converged.

There were more than ten official armored vehicles and four buses.

The entire convoy consisted of more than seventy vehicles.

This time, the nominal mission is to carry out preliminary modifications to the environment of Thunder Lab and its surrounding area.

Wang Wen's task was to plant some spiritual plants in this area to ensure the full utilization of spiritual energy.

inside the car.

Upon receiving news about planting spiritual plants, Bai Yu couldn't help but ask, "What kind of spiritual plants?"

"Those related to you, such as thundercloud fruit trees and other thunder-type spiritual plants."

"In addition, we also need to plant some optimized tree species to see if we can cultivate new spiritual plants, or special lightning-struck wood, and some experimental spiritual bamboo."

bamboo!

Judging from its appearance, this purple-gold thunder bamboo must have been cultivated unintentionally.

And so, the convoy passed the first fork in the road.

At this fork in the road, one path leads to a sacred cultivation ground created by the Eight Gates Spirit Gathering Array, while the other leads to the Nine Serpent Bend National Highway.

More than ten vehicles, the first batch to go to the sacred place of cultivation for further study, drove in.

The second fork in the road leads to either Thunder Labs or Linshui City.

Li Yunbin and the others had assigned tasks, so they naturally went to handle them.

There were more than forty vehicles heading to Linshui City.

In the end, a dozen or so cars drove toward Thunder Lab.

Bai Yu looked out the window at the scene, and at the place where he had been attacked.

The area has been cleaned thoroughly; there are no traces left.

"I wonder what level of strength I'll reach after about a week of training!"

11:30 a.m.

Thunder Labs.

Everyone got out of the car.

Bai Yu glanced at the bus, which was full of people, all of whom were members of the guard team.

Two people got out of the black cars; those were Sakurajima people!

Miyamoto Shingo, Miyamoto Shinjo, and others were all present.

There was also a woman with a slightly unusual eye color, light purple.

As she got out of the car, she glanced in Bai Yu's direction.

Bai Yu's intuition told him that this woman was Matsumoto Keiko from the intelligence report. And this woman's power was definitely not simple!

At this moment, Wang Wen patted Bai Yu on the shoulder and said, "You wouldn't have taken a fancy to this Sakurajima woman, would you?"

"Hehe~"

"It's a pity, I thought you were pretty perfect. However, your only flaw is that you're a jerk, but it's not a huge imperfection."

"??? This is outrageous! I want to punch someone!"

"Alright, I'll talk to Lao Feng and tell him to quickly release the electricity so you can cultivate and calm down."

Bai Yu was used to the old man's personality and calmly said, "Alright. However, I am indeed curious why these Sakurajima people didn't go to Rinshui City to deal with the Black Blood Disease, but instead came here."

"Aren't you the one who deals with leukemia? You don't even know this? If we continue down this road, there are several mountain villages where leukemia is rampant! And have you forgotten about Tianmen Mountain?"

Upon hearing "Tianmen Mountain," Bai Yu instantly understood.

[My destined item - the Black Lotus Flower - descended upon the Heavenly Pool atop Tianmen Mountain in the northeastern part of Tianhai City at 24:9 on September 19, 2037.]

Linshui City is located slightly north of northeast of Tianhai City, while Thunder Lab is due north.

Tianmen Mountain is located between the two lines, and is closer to the line due north.

Speaking of which, Tianmen Mountain is a special scenic area.

However, the Tianmen Mountain scenic area is under the jurisdiction of Beishan City, which is further north, and is the same city where Wang Chongfei, the boss whose spirit was previously depicted as Zhang Fei, is located.

"I see!"

"Speaking of which, if it weren't for me and the other two developing the Blood-Clearing Powder early on, these mountain villages would probably have been in big trouble! They might have even suffered a major disaster like Kunlun."

Bai Yu made a mental note of the events in these mountain villages, and then followed Wang Wen to Professor Feng's laboratory.

Behind.

After arriving at the laboratory, the group of Sakurajima people naturally took a closer look.

After sensing the area, a powerful lightning-type shikigami remarked, "This place is indeed extraordinary! The lightning-type spiritual energy in the air is incredibly dense. If we could acquire a few of these, we might be able to cultivate quite a few spiritual creatures."

"Unfortunately, this time with the black blood disease, we not only didn't gain any benefits, but we also became somewhat dependent on others."

These words put everyone in a bad mood.

Getting them to honestly adjust their mindset and come to learn is indeed quite difficult!

Miyamoto Nobuhiro surveyed the area and whispered, "News has come from the family. After the crushing defeat a few days ago, several of the Black Demon King's other generals may have come to China to push for the Black Demon King's descent here."

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up.

It's great that they're not around!

The basement level of Thunder Labs.

Professor Feng had already arrived at the experimental area and was looking at the thunderstorm stone experiment that his students had conducted.

The water in the tank was in a very unusual state.

You can see electric arcs in the water from time to time!

The lightning within it did not appear violent; instead, it flashed periodically, following a certain pattern.

The key point is, Thunderstorm Stone!

The Thunderstorm Stone appears to be in a very stable state.

Based on his experience alone, he could tell that this state of the Thunderstorm Stone was exactly what he needed!

Professor Feng looked at Bai Yu excitedly and asked, "How did you manage to do that?"

But then he realized he had said the wrong thing and tried to change the subject.

Bai Yu simply shrugged and said, "I just tried it by chance, and it worked."

"."

Professor Feng calmed himself down and said, "Judging from the current situation, the problem should be solved."

He thought about it carefully; Bai Yu had helped him solve this big problem, so he shouldn't leave without some form of reward.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "You're here to cultivate, right?"

"Yes! Do you have anything good here?"

"Of course there are! I specialize in lightning-based techniques, and most of my students also specialize in lightning-based methods. The guards stationed here are mostly lightning-based as well. Naturally, there are quite a few lightning-based treasures here! Let me find them for you."

After saying that, Professor Feng went to find it.

Bai Yu looked at Wang Wen and said, "Look at you, can't you learn from others? Just pay immediately."

"I fed all your spirit stones, worth 1.5 million, to the Dragon Blood Tree."

"Hey! I'm reporting you for embezzling public funds."

"This was clearly consumed by your own precious treasure."

"Understood, we'll use a different professor next time."

"Ahem, no need, no need at all. By the way, there's been some progress on the matter of the Blood Demon and the Blood Rage Potion."

Wang Wen will still try to change the subject.

This is exactly what Bai Yu is interested in.

"How so?"

"I accidentally—well, I really did—feed the Blood Demon the Blood Rage Potion you mentioned. My original thought was whether this stuff could nourish the Blood Demon, or rather, arouse the emotional influence you described. But later..."

The drawn-out sound whetted Bai Yu's appetite.

"Why are you keeping us in suspense? What happened next?"

"Later, that pool of liquid blood demon did indeed go berserk for a while, but then its size began to shrink, and it even became somewhat listless. I have already reported this news. The higher-ups have now captured two blood demons at the Spirit Sea Realm, and they should have more detailed experimental results."

Hearing this, Bai Yu frowned and asked, "So what's the use of this thing?"

"I have a theory that the Blood Demon is actually a special kind of blood essence. However, it possesses consciousness and can control its host in reverse."

"Didn't you say that if the Blood Demon were killed using a scroll, its components would enhance the host?"

"Think about it, if we could wear down the Blood Demon's consciousness and extract its essence, perhaps we could develop something that promotes human cultivation!"

"Blood Rage Potion consumes the potential within the blood. If the two are combined, perhaps an even more perfect Blood Rage Potion can be created."

"These are two perfect paths!"

"In the future, we might even be able to build a Blood Demon breeding farm."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's eyes lit up!

No wonder he's a researcher!

But your Blood Demon Breeding Farm sounds so shady to me.

As long as it works!

At this moment, Professor Feng brought over a huge wooden box.

"Boom!"

The wooden box was a full meter long and half a meter high, and it made a heavy thud when it was put down.

"What is it?"

Professor Feng dusted off his hands and exclaimed excitedly, "Lotus platform!"

Looking at the dust on the wooden box, Bai Yu said speechlessly, "How many years has this been sitting here?"

"Only two and a half years. And this is something I'm reluctant to use!"

???

Two and a half years?

As he spoke, Professor Feng opened the box, revealing a jade-like object that was white with a hint of purple.

"I originally kept this for when I was condensing my spiritual sea and stepping into the half-step spiritual sea realm."

"However, the energy inside is still too little for condensing the spiritual sea."

"I can definitely do better now."

Bai Yu: "???"

"You're giving me a discarded item, huh?"

Professor Feng laughed and said, "What realm are you at, kid? If I hadn't heard that your combat power is extraordinary, I'm afraid the spiritual energy here would have ruptured your meridians."

"That's true!"

The items were good, but Bai Yu still remembered the spirit array mentioned in the diary and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Old Feng, do you have any other treasures?"

"That's all! This is the best thing for you in my warehouse."

"I mean, you've been deeply involved in the lightning element for many years, do you have any suitable formations for cultivation? Like setting up a spirit formation to gather lightning elemental energy or something."

Professor Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this.

You know what!

When the kid asked, he remembered.

I can indeed use some precious items to set up a lightning-type spirit array.

It's just that this thing is too expensive.

His lab can't withstand the drain either.

But when Bai Yu asked, he couldn't very well say no.

Wang Wen said, "Old Feng, take whatever treasure you find."

"It's not that I don't want to take it, it's just that the inventory is low. I just got back, and I'm already going to use up a lot of the funds I have on hand."

"Well, actually I have some crucial information that can help Professor Feng with the grenade project."

After listening to the brief information about the Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo, Professor Feng pondered and said, "I've thought about it carefully. At worst, I can just have Xiao Yan take some people to the city to buy another batch tomorrow."

"Heh~!"

With everything prepared, Bai Yu was extremely excited.

Grandpa is finally about to enter the Great Ascension stage!

I'm going to be featured on Twitter on Monday, so the drop in average subscriptions doesn't matter. A generous reader just gave me a tip; they previously tipped me 30000 coins, so I owe them an extra chapter. Since this story includes power-up content, combat, and a new map, I'll just release it all at once. Otherwise, it'll be a bit frustrating for readers who are following along.

Then, regarding the issue of strength that everyone has mentioned. In this volume, the protagonist's strength increases significantly, and he will possess astonishing combat power. (As for the concept of cultivation realms, I cannot force it. The best design would be to set the second realm as something like the Meridian Opening Realm or the Acupoint Opening Realm. It's not impossible to design it now; according to the current setting, the system is not yet perfect, but a universal cultivation method will be announced later, which could be described in that way. It will be in the next chapter.)

I have never suppressed my combat power; it has always been increasing. It's just that my cultivation level hasn't improved rapidly. The current writing style is actually about building a solid foundation; only with a strong foundation can I achieve the higher-level, cross-class combat power I need later.
