Chapter 230 The Tumultuous Times in the Capital (6)
"Just the two of us?" Lin Qiye asked. "Even the Baili family hasn't displayed this much power and wealth... Isn't it a bit... a bit much for just the two of us?"
“The Stormy Tower? The Blood-Soaked Fighting Arena?” Cao Yuan muttered to himself, “Who came up with such an awful name? They have absolutely no sense of aesthetics.”
Shao Pingge ignored Cao Yuan's complaints and replied to Lin Qiye, "It's not just the two of you. Yuan Gang will be bringing back new recruits soon, and he will lead a team to join you then."
"I knew it... how could it be just the two of us?" Lin Qiye said with a grin.
"Keep up the good work. I'm sure it won't be long before you can lead a team to handle these kinds of things independently," Shao Pingge said with satisfaction. "That way, I won't have let Old Chen down after all he entrusted to me..."
Lin Qiye's eyes lit up when he heard Shao Pingge mention Chen Muye, and he asked, "Captain Shao, where did Captain Chen and Lao Zhao go...? How come there's been no news for a year?"
"Them..." Shao Pingge hesitated for a moment before finally speaking slowly, "To protect their safety, I don't know exactly where they went. They'll have to tell you themselves later."
"Okay," Lin Qiye replied, somewhat disappointed.
......
Inside the Dust Song Pot.
Anqingyu Laboratory Special Zone.
"How is it? How's it going?" Liu Lang asked, looking at the two rows of strangely shaped "forbidden objects" created by An Qingyu.
"The other forbidden items are fine, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, whether they can be improved is just a matter of time." An Qingyu, wearing a white coat, said helplessly, "It's just that the elemental orbs, these artificial forbidden items made from your blood, haven't made any progress... it's as if something is missing."
“That shouldn’t be the case,” Liu Lang asked doubtfully. “Could it be that there isn’t enough blood? I’ve already reached the Klein level since I came back this time. While I can’t say I have an endless supply of blood, I can provide you with enough for your research.”
An Qingyu shook her head. "What does it have to do with the amount of blood in your body? How can I describe it... It's like your blood is filled with three elements, but these three elements are independent of each other, yet they are linked together by a strange force."
This prevents conflicts between the various elemental energies in your blood. The original elemental orbs were made by extracting elemental energy from your blood, and they required absolutely no mental effort from the user.
As An Qingyu spoke, she let out a long sigh, "Although the later ones were able to match the corresponding people and forbidden objects to establish a connection, allowing them to cultivate as well."
However, only those whose mental strength and the forbidden item are compatible can use it without mental strength requirements. If someone with a lower compatibility with the forbidden item uses it, there will still be requirements for the user. Furthermore, they wouldn't meet the cultivation requirements…”
"Although..." Liu Lang replied, "While there are some limitations now, relatively speaking, ordinary people are not entirely without a chance to master extraordinary abilities, are they?"
"That's true, but... if forbidden items like elemental orbs can be successfully developed, then everyone will be able to cultivate without any problem!" An Qingyu said somewhat maniacally, but then she wilted.
He said dejectedly, "But... a year has passed and there's still no progress. On the contrary, the research and development versions of other forbidden items have all been iterated to the 'Sea' realm."
"It's only been a year," Liu Lang comforted him, though he had some suspicions about what had happened.
Although An Qingyu initially researched the forbidden items based on Zi's blood sample, the blood initially contained only the element of lightning. It was only after Nasida and Mavica were summoned that the second and third elements appeared in his body.
Furthermore, thanks to the "Elemental Knowledge Ultimate - Primordial Dragon King Crown" that appeared during the later check-in, the elements within my body were no longer limited to being used one by one, but were instead able to use two or even three elements simultaneously.
And unlike his initial tinkering with using two elements simultaneously, he could only produce a simple elemental reaction using the two elements.
As for deeper utilization, that's completely impossible.
The "Elemental Knowledge Ultimate - Primordial Dragon King Crown" perfectly solved this problem, and An Qingyu discovered that the unfamiliar power that harmonized the elements within his body was brought about by it.
“That’s right, it’s only been a year.” An Qingyu repeated Liu Lang’s words, brainwashing herself, “How long does it take to advance from the ‘Cup’ Realm to the ‘Sea’ Realm through the Forbidden Ruins? And how long would my method take? There’s no comparison at all…”
"What you've researched so far is enough for now," Liu Lang continued. "How's the preparation for attacking the 'Forbidden Stone' going?"
"I don't know about that. You'll have to ask the Mouse Squad. I've left all of this to them," An Qingyu said, waving her hand.
"Since leaving Cangnan City and entering your cave space, the fish species have not been of any use to me for the time being, so I upgraded the previous rat team and made them my assistants."
"qvq?"
"Is that so? Why didn't I know?" Liu Lang asked in surprise.
He genuinely hadn't paid much attention to the Mouse Squad, even though he knew An Qingyu had brought them in.
However, he thought that the Mouse Squad's responsibility should be to play the same role as before. Was the Mouse Squad abandoning military skills and turning to scientific research?
An Qingyu rolled her eyes. "In the past year, you've either been cultivating or busy with your plan. How many times have you come here?"
“Every time they come, they just ask about the progress of our ‘Forbidden Ruins Envoy’ research and development. It would be a miracle if you knew anything about it.”
"Emm...it's my problem," Liu Lang said awkwardly, then tried to change the subject by calling out, "Where's Rat Boss? Where is he now?"
An Qingyu: "Big Rat, come out and take Liu Lang to the 'Forbidden Stone' warehouse."
As An Qingyu finished speaking, a peculiar mouse suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the laboratory filled with bottles, jars, and instruments.
It was dressed in a white overcoat, which was rather loose and the hem swayed gently.
The black-rimmed glasses perched on its small nose bridge, which, though somewhat comical, added a touch of majesty to its appearance.
Its fur is grayish-black and shiny, its eyes are round and bright, its pink little nose twitches restlessly, and its long, thin tail sways from time to time under its coat.
