Dragon Master: [Alright, it will only take one day... no, one afternoon, and we'll have all the relevant information ready for you.]
Upon reading the message from Bai Zhi, the Dragon Master's face immediately lit up with a radiant glow.
As for the concerns of some colleagues that Bai Zhi might become the next generation of Yin Yuejun, he said that he really wanted to improve.
The benefits that Bai Zhi has given me are too many.
As everyone knows, in his heart, there is only one sun: Lady Baizhi!
Those who dare to oppose Lady Baizhi are all traitors and must be completely eliminated.
Bai Zhi: [And Bai Lu, do you know where she went?]
Dragon Master: [What happened to the White Dew Dragon Girl?]
Bai Zhi: [You didn't know? Someone invited Bai Lu away the day before yesterday; it was someone from within the Chi Ming faction.]
Dragon Master: [I apologize, Lady Baizhi, I do not know the whereabouts of the White Dew Dragon Maiden, but I can ask those I know.]
Bai Zhi looked at her phone, her brows furrowing even more. Even this Dragon Master didn't know Bai Lu's whereabouts. Who exactly was Chi Ming, who took Bai Lu away, under?
At the same time, the dragon master was also wondering who was so bold as to do such a thing.
In the past, it would have been different, since Bailu was a real puppet back then.
But now, Bai Lu is clearly being protected by Bai Zhi, and she still dares to do this. She really isn't afraid of death.
He had some guesses in his mind, but many people had done this before. The reason why Luofu Danding Division was a gathering place for the Chiming Clan was because it absorbed a lot of the biotechnology developed by the Chiming.
There were too many people, so he couldn't name the most likely person to do it.
Bai Zhi: [In the past, was there a lot of biological research within the Dragon Master Council?]
Dragon Master: [Yes, Lady Bai Zhi. In the past, we would allocate about 5% of the council's budget each year to support biological research.]
"5% of the budget..."
Upon seeing this number, Bai Zhi took a deep breath. Although it only looked like a single digit, the total number was absolutely astonishing.
As a race capable of reincarnation, the Wisdom Clan has accumulated wealth far exceeding that of ordinary Immortal Ship people. Given the power of the Dragon Master Council within the Wisdom Clan, the amount of money they have collected is definitely not small.
With the support of these funds, it's hard to say what results biological research will produce or what it will be able to accomplish.
Bai Zhi: [Are you still in contact with those Dragon Masters who are still conducting biological research?]
Dragon Master: [There are some, but Lady Baizhi, I haven't paid attention to them for a long time, and I even rejected their application to increase the budget this time.]
Bai Zhi: [I'm not asking you to commit a crime, I just want you to arrange for someone to go in.]
After sending this message, Bai Zhi thought for a moment, took out a mirror, and the monkey talisman immediately activated, transforming into the appearance of the tall fox-human girl she had previously created.
Then he pointed it at his face and took a selfie.
Bai Zhi: [See the picture above? Recommend her to those people, saying she's a top-notch biology expert who can create all sorts of excellent drugs.]
Chapter 658 The Dragon Master's Fear
Seeing that Bai Zhi was not pursuing his matters, the Dragon Master breathed a sigh of relief, quickly responded to Bai Zhi, and then forwarded the photo to a private group called "Wisdom Revival".
Long Shi Qiushuang: [These days, while reviewing those who want to transform into enlightened individuals, I discovered a biology expert. This expert, while not quite a genius, is definitely among the top few below genius.]
Long Shi Qiushuang: [However, this person has recently invested too much money in research and development, so she can't afford to pay for the conversion right now. But she said she's willing to work for us to offset the cost. Does anyone need her services? @All Members]
The claim that this person is one of the most talented is obviously just something Long Shi Qiushuang is exaggerating. He doesn't know the extent of this person's strength, but that doesn't stop him from creating this illusion.
He believed that with Bai Zhi's abilities and knowledge, the fact that she could use adjectives like "top biological expert" meant she must be quite skilled.
Soon, the previously quiet group chat became lively.
Many Dragon Masters were interested in the information that Dragon Master Qiu Shuang had shared and expressed their desire to learn more about it.
Upon seeing this, Long Shi Qiushuang quickly went to Bai Zhi to ask about the specific requirements, and then replied:
The reason I'm sharing this person in this group is because they specialize in research related to the Vidyadharas (Buddhist practitioners), and they hope to join a top-tier Vidyadhara research laboratory.
Inside a secret laboratory, Long Shitao looked at the information displayed on his phone and glanced thoughtfully at Bai Lu, who was lying on the bed not far away, seemingly fast asleep.
That's right, Bai Lu was brought here by someone he had someone bring.
Over the past two days, after some basic scanning with instruments, scientists in the laboratory have discovered that the power of White Dew seems to have increased significantly compared to before.
If it weren't for the advanced biological and medical technology of the Vidyadharas, who could use certain drugs to put them to sleep, Bailu might have been able to turn the tables and defeat them.
But power aside, Bai Lu was too naive; she was easily fooled by a rumor that there had been casualties in a laboratory of the Wisdom Clan.
Then, after drinking a glass of water, he immediately passed out.
Have you analyzed why the power of White Dew has increased so significantly?
Instead of immediately replying to the messages in the group, Long Shitao asked the scientists who were conducting experimental analysis on a vial of blood.
"I'm sorry, Lord Taoran, we are unable to find out why Bailu's power has increased so rapidly in such a short period of time."
"Blood provides too little information. Perhaps we need more, such as tissue samples from internal organs, to figure it out."
"One scientist said cautiously."
Upon hearing this, Long Shitao glanced at the scientists with some dissatisfaction.
Do these guys think Bailu is just an ordinary member of the Chiming Clan? Although her power is not as great as the original Yinyuejun, she has still inherited half of his power.
What if we cause problems by easily collecting tissue samples from internal organs?
But he also knew that blood alone could not provide enough information.
However, he was indeed a little hesitant to make a decision. Everyone knew that Bai Zhi was paying close attention to Bai Lu. He originally planned to take the opportunity to collect some of Bai Lu's blood and gene samples for more scientific experiments, and then put them back after collecting them.
After all, everyone knows that although Dragon Lords and ordinary Vidyadharas are both offspring of the Immortal Dragon, there are differences between the offspring.
Ordinary Vidyadharas do not possess the strong dragon-like characteristics of the Dragon Lord, which is enough to show that the Dragon Lord's genes are more worthy of study.
But now, the research has made no progress whatsoever, and Bai Lu's power has mysteriously increased by so much.
He was eager to know if there was some special secret hidden within, and whether it could help break the curse that prevented Chiming from having children.
This made him extremely reluctant to put Bailu back.
However, Bai Zhi's attention made him feel uneasy, fearing that he would be discovered.
His current state is entirely a gamble. He's gambling because Bai Zhi has obtained the Divine Lord title, and there will definitely be many handover matters with Jing Yuan later. In addition, with the martial arts ceremony, she won't bother with things here.
However, the lack of progress over the past two days has made him quite angry.
"Perhaps it's time to bring in some new researchers."
Long Shitao muttered to himself, "These good-for-nothings I'm raising now are really useless. And time is tight and the task is heavy. I have to finish these analyses before Bai Zhi notices anything amiss, and preferably produce some results."
Even if Bai Zhi finds out, he did it for the sake of the entire Chiming clan.
He shed blood for the cause of Vidyadhara, and he exerted his strength for the cause of Vidyadhara.
Presumably even Bai Zhi, considering the results he achieved and the public opinion within the clan, would treat him leniently.
As a wise and virtuous dragon, it's impossible for him to act like a tyrant and kill this meritorious official.
It should be noted that Bai Zhi was crowned Dragon Lord only after a collective vote by all the Dragon Masters.
They could be considered to have contributed to the rise of the new dynasty.
So he immediately contacted Master Long Qiushuang.
"Hiss... Could it be that Bai Lu Long Nu is him...?"
Upon seeing the message from Tao Ran, Qiu Shuang felt a chill run down her spine, because Tao Ran's information very clearly expressed the research results on the Dragon Lord's blood.
Many dragon masters had considered this before, but Lord Yinyue was too powerful, and there were a large number of dragon masters who were attached to him.
Bai Lu is quite weak, but because of her special background, she has always been closely watched by Jing Yuan. Only recently, during the martial arts ceremony, when the Yunqi forces were stretched thin, and with rumors circulating everywhere that Jing Yuan was going to give way to Bai Zhi, a mix of circumstances created a slight opportunity for her to take advantage of the situation.
Qiu Shuang didn't dare to think too much. He thought that Bai Zhi first asked him for the account book, and then asked him to send people in. She probably already knew something.
"Taoran, don't do anything too outrageous..."
Qiu Shuang felt her hands trembling. What if the person Bai Zhi sent discovered something terrible? Who knew what Bai Zhi would do then?
Although this Dragon Lord looks young, he saw it clearly during the Dimensional Nexus incident: if this person is truly unhappy and crosses certain lines, then what awaits certain people may be a storm of violence.
"Is there an interview? I hope the person that Lady Baizhi arranged is capable enough."
Upon seeing the message from Tao Ran, Qiu Shuang frowned. As expected, it wasn't a direct entry; Tao Ran had arranged some special tests, and as long as one passed, they could be hired directly.
Chapter 659 First Meeting with Yun Li
"Where is Lin Yuan Realm? Will someone personally escort me to the laboratory...?"
Bai Zhi looked at the message, raised an eyebrow, and wasn't surprised.
Rather, Bai Zhi should be wary if the other party directly told her to join the company now and then delve into the deepest secret laboratory.
Bai Zhi didn't waste any time. She transformed into a small insect and flew directly from the room to a secluded corner before reverting to her tall fox-woman form. Carrying the Storm Sword given to her by the Emperor Bow, she calmly walked out and headed towards the Scale Abyss Realm.
"What does it smell like?"
As Bai Zhi passed through the central hub of the Star Chariot Sea, she sniffed, and a somewhat familiar stench entered her nasal cavity.
She looked in the direction the scent was coming from and found a fox-human cloud cavalryman talking to Yanqing with several other cloud cavalrymen.
Yanqing hitched a ride with the ship on her way back to Xianzhou.
"Is this an illusion?..."
Bai Zhi always felt that the scent emanating from that fox-person Yunqi soldier was somewhat similar to that of Bu Liren, whom she had encountered before.
But this is the territory of the Immortal Ship. Are those Bu Li people so arrogant as to think that a few people can break through the Immortal Ship's defenses and blockade?
Seemingly sensing Bai Zhi's suspicious gaze, the fox-human cloud cavalryman looked at Bai Zhi, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes, as if he were looking at some lowly creature.
But the next moment, a scream suddenly came from the port where the starship was docked, accompanied by a violent explosion.
One after another, burly, purple-skinned Bu Li people roared as they broke through the defenses of a starship and charged straight at the tourists and immortal boat people on the port.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi could only suppress her doubts and then summoned the Storm Sword, charging towards the Bu Li people.
A surge of azure wind elemental power coursed through Bai Zhi's body, instantly increasing her speed. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of Bu Liren.
"call out"
The sword blade sliced through the air with a soft hum, and along with it sliced... no, it should be said that it was directly sliced off, as well as the head of the person in front of him.
Bu Liren's enormous body fell to the ground, and blood splattered across the ground like a fountain.
However, at the same time, even more Bu Li people ran out, and Yan Qing followed closely behind, with several flying swords flying up and down, constantly killing those Bu Li people.
Seemingly realizing that Bai Zhi's side was not to be trifled with, the fleeing Bu Li people all moved away from Bai Zhi and tried their best to run towards the densely populated areas.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi frowned. These Bu Li people were really clever; by running into the crowd, they could avoid large-scale area-of-effect attacks.
But...
Bai Zhi threw the Storm Sword into the sky, and this divine weapon, imbued with the power of the storm, moved nimbly within a certain range like a ghostly assassin.
The only result for those strong bodies of the Bu Li people in the face of this genuine divine weapon was that it pierced their hearts and then they collapsed helplessly.
However, there were still quite a few people who had left, and one of them, relying on his strong body and the time gained by his companions' sacrifice, was about to disappear from everyone's sight.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi controlled the Storm Sword and flew straight towards Bu Liren.
However, just before it could strike the man, a heavy weapon slammed into him first.
A petite, barefoot girl followed closely behind, casually pulling out the Storm Sword that had struck Bu Liren's shoulder, and then slashing it at Bu Liren's head.
Just like cutting tofu, Bu Liren's head was separated from his body in an instant, and he stopped struggling.
"This sword?!"
After dealing with the man who had left, the barefoot girl finally noticed the sword in her hand.
Powerful and swift, like a storm constantly brewing.
Moreover, the sword seemed to be telling her that its master was very powerful and that it liked its master very much.
This piqued the girl's curiosity. This sword was the most powerful sword she had ever seen. Even the Suiyang Demon Sword that her father had forged in the past could not compare to this sword in terms of power.
A sword reflects its master; a weapon can reveal the abilities of its owner.
