He took out the purple-gold gourd and shook it: "There were six extraordinary people in total. The four below are dead, and the two who are alive have been sealed in the gourd by me."

"Even the Corpse Daoist you were hunting was killed by us."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zibu's expression relaxed: "Well done!"

Suddenly, Huang Yu frowned and looked at the purple-gold gourd in his hand: "Strange, something seems off."

Zheng Zibu asked, "What's wrong?"

"I clearly brought two people in, but why did I only sense the soul of one person?"

Huang Yu opened the gourd lid, injected true essence, and a thick black mist was sprayed out, instantly condensing into a human shape, which was none other than Black Mist Will.

They escaped!

Seeing that he had emerged from that damned gourd, Will dared not use his Phantom Transformation into Black Mist again, for fear of being sucked back into the Purple Gold Gourd.

"Hidden!"

He waved his wand, and a large swath of light was swallowed up by the tip of the wand, turning into darkness.

Bang!

Before he could finish casting the spell, Zuo Ruotong slapped Will hard to the ground.

Zuo Ruotong confiscated the magic wand in her hand and curiously examined it.

"Interesting. Is this a magic wand? It doesn't look like a magical artifact, nor is it entirely a product of alchemy. It's more like a material for casting spells."

"I've heard about your methods. People like you would be called magicians in the West, similar to sorcerers, capable of casting all sorts of spells."

"It seems that you all rely on your wands to cast spells. Only a few top experts can cast spells without a wand."

Will remained silent, filled with despair. He felt as if his group was being targeted.

Judging from the situation, the underground research institute is not in good shape either; it has probably been breached and its entire force wiped out.

In an instant, he let out a mocking laugh.

The others can't escape, but Baker definitely can.

Huang Yu also noticed something amiss. He activated the Purple Gold Gourd and spat out all the blood that the Blood Controller Baker had transformed into.

The blood still contains a vigorous life force, but it has lost its soul.

A flash of understanding crossed Huang Yu's eyes. So that's how it is. It's similar to the ability of reincarnation, transferring the soul to another body.

A slight smile played on his lips. This ability was interesting; it seemed he would have to look into it further.

"You shouldn't have left this pool of blood for me."

Whether it's divination, witchcraft, or tracking, as long as you have the corresponding physical tissue, you can easily cast spells.

Not to mention such a large pool of blood.

Chapter 95 College Development

"Did they escape?"

Zuo Ruotong walked over and swept away the pool of viscous blood on the ground. He was deeply impressed by the blood controller's ability to manipulate his own blood for attack and defense.

If Huang Yu hadn't prepared drugs that could interfere with blood clotting, the Blood Controller wouldn't have been so easily defeated.

Looking at it now, it is indeed strange that it was able to escape even though it was sealed inside the gourd artifact.

"Yes, but it's alright, I have a way to find him again."

Huang Yu remained calm as he activated the purple-gold gourd in his hand. The blood once again coalesced and was absorbed into the purple-gold gourd.

At this moment, Zheng Zibu walked over, took out a tracking talisman, and handed it to Huang Yu.

"Why seek other methods? I have another Thousand-Mile Tracking Talisman here. You can take it and use it."

Huang Yu was slightly taken aback and sighed inwardly. It still comes down to talismans. Apart from being a bit troublesome to prepare, their practicality surpasses most other methods.

He accepted the tracking talisman without ceremony, saying, "Thank you very much, Brother Zibu."

Turning his head, Huang Yu looked around at the valley.

Two hundred divine puppets occupied the high ground and patrolled around. The ground was littered with signs of battle, corpses were everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"I'll send someone over to take over this place first, and while I'm at it, I'll find out who owns this land. I want to see who dares to defy the world and support the persecution of the Chinese people."

Huang Yu took out his communication device and dialed Liu's number.

"My lord, we finally have news of you! If I hadn't sensed that you were alright, I would have sent someone to look for you."

Liu's hoarse voice came through, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Yu was slightly taken aback. This Liu was becoming more and more intelligent, almost like a real living person.

Anyway, he could sense that Liu's emotions had become increasingly diverse compared to the beginning, and he didn't seem like a controlled ghost at all.

Is this considered Liu's resurrection, or that he has become a new life form?

Huang Yu was quite curious about how far this living dead would ultimately go.

However, these are all things that are far off. Judging from the current perception of the Myriad Soul Banner, Liu has not yet fully transformed from a Yin soldier.

"Yes, I've gained some insights in the past few months, and I've been in seclusion for a while, so I haven't contacted you all."

Huang Yu explained for a moment, then asked, "So, has anything happened in Fucheng recently?"

Liu said, "There's no situation specifically targeting us. Everything is going smoothly at the academy. Your disciples have already begun to infiltrate various parts of my organization, including material procurement, land management, and military affairs."

“I also used my connections to get a few people into some entry-level positions.”

Huang Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Good job, you did a great job."

After Liu completely took control of the Liu family's power, Huang Yu used the Liu family as a training ground, having Liu assign his disciples to various positions, which indirectly strengthened Liu's control over the Liu family.

In retrospect, the results are quite good.

Although the Liu family is not a prestigious family, they are local bigwigs in Fucheng, major landowners, and have connections in the bureaucratic and military systems.

This power is neither too big nor too small; it's just right.

Liu continued, "By the way, as you instructed, Hong Qi and Jimmy have started to try new industries. They have used the Liu family's resources to form a Huateng Group and have begun to venture into industries such as restaurants, pharmacies, textile factories, and flour mills."

"I see. It seems they have indeed grown up."

Huang Yu looked somewhat emotional. Before going into seclusion, he saw that Hong Qi and several other disciples had already gained enough experience and their abilities had grown, so he let them start to venture into new industries.

Light industry and service industries are preferred.

Heavy industry did not yet have the conditions for development in the Republic of China at that time.

One problem was the reaping of benefits by bureaucratic capitalism and the constant infighting among warlords, which created an environment for the stable development of heavy industry.

Secondly, there wasn't enough skilled workers. Heavy industry can't be run by just a few illiterate farmers.

Third, it also faced competition from foreign capital, with the whole world vying for the Republic of China's market and treating it as a dumping ground for resources.

The tariff protection system of the Republic of China was useless; it was completely controlled by foreign countries, and domestic goods could not compete with foreign goods at all.

Moreover, heavy industry is a complete industrial chain, involving hundreds of upstream and downstream companies.

For example, a steel plant not only needs to purchase steelmaking equipment, but also requires support from various industries such as mines, power plants, coal mines, and transportation.

Besides, once the steel is smelted, where will it be used, what will it be used to make, can it be sold, will its price be competitive with foreign capital, and will it be able to recoup its costs...?

In short, with countless issues to consider, Huang Yu currently has no intention of getting involved in heavy industry, even though heavy industry is the foundation of a strong nation.

This is something that can only be accomplished with a strong motherland.

However, the situation is different for light industry and service industries. Thanks to the Liu family's connections in Fucheng, they can provide protection and support for these industries.

In addition, Huang Yu's modern perspective, combined with his relevant professional skills, makes him fully capable of excelling in these industries.

He replied to Liu, "Let them try it out on their own first. I'll see if I can help when I have some free time in a few days."

"Our main goal now is not to make a lot of money, but to build a sound and healthy business organization."

"The framework is in place; I will provide specific profit points later."

A glint appeared in Huang Yu's eyes. Even without heavy industry, there are many products that can generate profits, such as the pharmaceutical industry and the adult clothing industry.

Clothing, food, housing, transportation, sex, and medical care—these are all basic human needs.

Of course, these are just some preliminary ideas. How to do it, whether it can be done, and what problems need to be solved will be discussed later.

Remembering something else, Huang Yu reminded him, "Remember to have them acquire a newspaper. It doesn't need to be big, just enough to control some of the publicity channels."

Liu replied, "Understood. By the way, my lord, I've noticed that General Luo has been selling off some assets recently."

Huang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is that guy surnamed Luo going to run away?"

"Yes, the people from Guangzhou are going to attack. Their focus is on the north, but people in Fujian are also having second thoughts."

Huang Yu calculated the time, and it was indeed time for the situation to change.

However, it's not feasible for someone surnamed Luo to run away so easily.

After causing so much trouble, he still wants to run away and live a peaceful and wealthy life as a retired gentleman.

Ah, Huang Yu had a good idea: he wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value from General Luo.

"Okay, keep an eye on things, and contact me if anything comes up."

"clear."

"Also, do you know who owns the land in Jitian Village, north of Fucheng?"

"Jitian Village?" Liu looked puzzled, but still replied, "It seems to belong to the Wei family. What's wrong?"

“The Wei family…” A ruthless glint flashed in Huang Yu’s eyes. It seemed to be this family. He would have to confirm it later.

"Tell me more about the Wei family."

"The Wei family and the Liu family are both prominent local clans, but the Wei family is more focused on commerce and trade, and controls several docks, making them the largest smuggling force in the area."

It turned out to be the case.

Huang Yu seemed to be deep in thought, and then told Liu about what had happened in the valley. Liu then suddenly understood.
