Chapter 123: Black Lotus Petal in the Soul Sea! Spiritual Material Smuggling Case Handled
Upon seeing that Bai Yu actually knew about Natal Items, Yuan Guofeng immediately became serious. It was clear he no longer had the leisure to drink tea and stood up anxiously.
However, he still slowly calmed his mood, trying his best to appear more nonchalant, and said, “Continue. Just the term ‘Natal Item’ alone makes it difficult for me to judge.”
Bai Yu considered it. The pricing mainly depended on the list of four characters with Black Lotus Flower Petals, such as Wu Yifei and Yang Zongchen, as well as the celestial phenomena migration algorithm and the method for predicting the subsequent descent locations of the Black Demon Seven Sons.
He then directly presented other information, saying, “The enemies we are currently facing are the Black Demon Seven Sons under the Black Demon Ancestor.”
“Judging by the order of descent, the so-called Black Demon King in Kanagawa City, Sakura Island, is merely one of the Black Demon Seven Sons, a Black Demon Warrior whose Natal Item is a Samurai Sword.”
“And the second of the Black Demon Seven Sons to descend in our Tianhai City is named Black Lotus Boy, whose Natal Item is the Black Lotus Flower.”
Yuan Guofeng nodded repeatedly and said, “Right! Right, right, right! I always felt that their enemies were not at the level of the Black Demon Ancestor at all. They were more like subordinates of the Black Demon Ancestor. As for the concept of the Black Demon Seven Sons, I don’t have much information on that yet. However, from my research into the entire Mythical Three Kingdoms, the Black Demon Ancestor did indeed have several capable subordinates, and they also came from other realms!”
Hearing this, Bai Yu said unhurriedly, “The Evil God we are facing in Tianhai City is named Black Lotus Boy. His Natal Item, the Black Lotus Flower, has twelve petals. These petals will appear on patients with Black Blood Disease. I currently know of four of them.”
Upon hearing this information, Yuan Guofeng could no longer sit still and asked, “Who? This news is crucial!”
“No rush for that. It will be a bargaining chip later, we can discuss it slowly.”
“???”
“Ah?” Yuan Guofeng’s expression was a bit bewildered, and he asked, “Isn’t this our bargaining chip with the Sakura Islanders? The key point is, if we can capture these patients who have inherited the Black Lotus Flower Petals, we will essentially hold the initiative in our hands.”
“No, no, no. You are the chief person in charge of the Black Blood Case. Solving this case will bring you great merit. I am giving you such important intelligence, and then you will be fully responsible for handling this matter. It will have no relation to me on the surface, but since I am behind the scenes, I have to gain some benefits, right?”
Yuan Guofeng fell silent. After thinking carefully, it made sense! Such important intelligence could not be expected to be donated selflessly.
“Fine, tell me what you want. If I can provide it, I will do my best.”
Bai Yu, however, was not in a hurry and said, “The Black Lotus Flower is equivalent to the first bargaining chip you mentioned that the Sakura Islanders possess.”
“As for the second bargaining chip, I’m not sure if the Sakura Islanders actually have it. Their method of treating Black Blood Disease is to use Tai Chang, one of the Twelve Shikigami inherited from Abe no Seimei. I’m not entirely clear on the specific method, but our Clear Blood Powder isn’t bad either, right?”
“The third bargaining chip, I’m not sure about that. Perhaps they have indeed developed a set of combat methods against the Black Demon Seven Sons during these three years.”
“But for the fourth bargaining chip, I should know more than they do! The remaining five of the Black Demon Seven Sons should also be calculable for their descent locations using my method.”
Yuan Guofeng took a deep breath and asked, “Is that true!? Especially the fourth one! Are you sure you have a way to calculate the next descent location of those Black Demon Seven Sons? This is extremely important to us! Because disasters like Black Blood Disease might continue to descend upon our administrative region!”
“Yes, I have a calculation method. I can send it to Professor Yuan for you to verify the algorithm.”
After Yuan Guofeng confirmed, he slowly calmed his emotions and then said, “Alright, let’s quickly discuss what you want now.”
I can see you’re in a hurry, but please don’t rush. Let me think.
Bai Yu fell into thought.
He muttered to himself, “To be honest, I don’t even know what I truly need.”
If we talk about the path of cultivation, he already has a considerable amount of funds. After buying Spiritual Stones, he can even make a large profit.
In terms of resources, Professor Wang Wen mentioned the Thundercloud Fruit and cultivation plans, Director Yang mentioned two supreme treasures and various rewards, and Professor Feng is about to return to the Thunder Laboratory, where he can get the Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo.
Especially, he wants to undergo true Heavenly Lightning Tempering at the Thunder Laboratory!
Activate the Tribulation Formation Array!
Then, using various precious cultivation resources, he can achieve a major breakthrough, at least in terms of realm.
So, from this perspective, he doesn’t seem to lack anything.
Meanwhile, Yuan Guofeng was getting a headache hearing that Bai Yu didn’t seem to want anything.
“Let me think carefully. Strength, money, resources, cultivation techniques, or perhaps connections, having a Big Boss personally guide the path, etc. Otherwise, beautiful women wouldn’t be out of the question.”
???
Are we a legitimate organization?
Bai Yu suddenly thought of something and said, “Right! The descent of the Black Lotus Boy requires a Carrier, and I even know who the Carrier is.”
Yuan Guofeng was speechless:
‘What good is it that you know!? You’re not telling me! Instead, it’s a new bargaining chip in your hands. Moreover, I have some understanding of this matter here.’
But Bai Yu continued, “I’m thinking, how does the Official side plan to deal with the Black Lotus Flower? Do they intend to let the Black Lotus Boy descend? And then, how will the inheritors of the twelve petals be handled?”
“If the Official side doesn’t need them, I think all this Evil Force from the Black Demon Ancestor can be given to me.”
Yuan Guofeng asked doubtfully, “What do you want this Evil Force for?”
“I am the inheritor of the Ancient God Zhang Jiao.”
Yuan Guofeng, an expert who had deeply researched the Mythical Three Kingdoms era, immediately understood the meaning.
“You can use it?”
“Yes.”
“But with your strength, you shouldn’t need much, right?”
Bai Yu thought of the Fourth Page, which he urgently needed energy to expand, and said, “I don’t know. But at least this can be one of the rewards for the intelligence I provide, right? How much I can absorb depends on my own ability.”
“Deal!”
He felt that Bai Yu’s abilities were very strong, and improving his strength would definitely be a great thing!
“Secondly, I won’t mention too much. In a little over a month, when this case is resolved, my strength should have a big leap. I believe that by then, all the Big Bosses and the Official side will definitely arrange plenty for me, right?”
Hearing this, Yuan Guofeng got a headache.
The more he said this, the less he could give in the end.
After considering it, he felt that given the importance of this case, he could indeed apply for some important treasures or Sacred Lands for cultivation.
“Yes. But the specific rewards will depend on the importance and accuracy of the intelligence you provide. You can keep the intelligence predicting the next occurrence location for now, no need to rush to say it. But how to handle this incident, I’d like to hear about it. You can tell me now, right?”
“Of course!”
This kind of intelligence clearly needed to be handed over to gain benefits.
If kept, it would be completely worthless.
Bai Yu quickly explained the method of celestial phenomena deviation and the characters who had inherited four Black Lotus Flower Petals.
Although judging from Wu Yifei’s situation as an inheritor, his own team might have the ability to handle weaker characters like Yang Zongchen on their own?
But if something went wrong, he couldn’t bear the responsibility, so it was better to hand it over now and let Yuan Guofeng arrange it as soon as possible.
“As for the calculation formula for celestial phenomena deviation, I need to organize it.”
Yuan Guofeng was excited to hear that there were four clear targets.
As long as they were captured, he could verify some things. It would be even easier to negotiate with the Sakura Islanders!
“Alright! If you could send me your calculation method for celestial phenomena deviation quickly, that would be even better.”
“After I verify the information you’ve provided, tomorrow or the day after, once we have these bargaining chips in hand, when we negotiate with those guys, hmph! They’ll have a hard time!”
After saying this, Yuan Guofeng couldn’t help but feel refreshed.
“Professor Yuan, don’t forget the reward. You can’t be stingy after solving such a big case.”
“Haha, absolutely not! Just tell me what you want now. If I can help with my personal ability, I will solve it for you immediately!”
Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, “It would be great if there were other inheritance items of the Ancient God Zhang Jiao, especially Lightning System Cultivation Techniques! I’m still using a basic cultivation method.”
“Inheritance items of the Ancient God Zhang Jiao, Cultivation Techniques? Alright! I am responsible for the research of the Mythical Three Kingdoms system. The probability of obtaining such items is actually quite high. From now on, I will keep an eye out.”
“However, I can’t guarantee it yet, but there’s at least an eighty percent chance I can find one for you! Haha~”
His tone was full of confidence.
Bai Yu was a little surprised. If that were the case, it would naturally be the best! It would save him from spending Intelligence Value or the like.
Then, Yuan Guofeng said, “So, shall we end our conversation here? I’m going to handle this matter.”
Wang Wen, who was standing nearby, said, “Wu Yifei is lying in the hospital now, aren’t you going to see him?”
Yuan Guofeng was stunned, then overjoyed, and said, “In the hospital? Are you sure it’s the right person?”
“Heh! The identity is so clear, how could I be mistaken?”
“Where!? Hurry and take me to see him!”
Seeing that they ignored him and walked out of the office.
Bai Yu: .
“Wait, about the Black Lotus Flower Petals, aren’t you going to let me see?”
“Damn it!”
After considering it, he was too lazy to get too involved, lest the enemy deduce that he was also behind the Black Blood Case!
If that were the case, he might end up like Professor Kong Shen.
If you don’t die, who will?
“Then I’ll find the Captain and the others.”
“From now on, all my intelligence will be obtained from Professor Yuan Guofeng, and it will have nothing to do with me personally!”
Nine in the morning.
“Hello, Captain, where are you guys now?”
“Last night, following the lead of the Black Pi Xiu, we found evidence and arrested He Chenming and Wei Wutao early this morning, and also dug up seven or eight accomplices. We are now in the Qingliu Villa area, just finished the arrests. What? Are you done on your end?”
“Yes! And I also got a lot of information from the professor in charge of the Black Blood Case, which can explain the relationship between those Alien Races last night.”
“Oh? Should we come over to pick you up?”
“I’m not in a hurry here. Come find me after Captain finishes his work.”
“Then it will probably take me until after ten o’clock to pick you up.”
“Okay! Then I’ll cultivate here for a while.”
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu began cultivating on the spot in Wang Wen’s office.
He was also looking forward to whether Professor Yuan Guofeng could handle the issue of the Black Lotus Flower Petals.
Half an hour later.
Inside the isolation ward where Wu Yifei was located.
Bai Yu was eventually called over.
He quickly learned about Wu Yifei’s current condition. His vital signs were still present, but he was in a special dormant state.
There were only the three of them in the room. Yuan Guofeng then said directly, “I just investigated the situation inside this person. Initially, I didn’t find any abnormalities. However, upon further investigation of the Soul Sea, I sensed an evil aura. It should be the Black Lotus Flower Petal.”
The Soul Sea is generally only truly opened when one reaches the Spirit Sea Realm!
Before the Spirit Sea Realm, the Soul Sea is in a state of chaos, and cultivators cannot enter an internal observation state.
During this process, if there are problems that injure the Soul Sea, it can be very difficult to handle.
“Then what does Professor Yuan plan to do?”
“The energy of the Black Lotus Flower Petal in his Soul Sea will eventually be sacrificed to the Natal Item. At that time, his life will surely be lost.”
“And what we need to do is to destroy the Natal Item! He is now in our hands, which will naturally hinder the descent of the Black Lotus Boy. Moreover, among the four individuals you mentioned, aren’t there two Alien Races? It doesn’t matter if Alien Races die! They can be used for experimentation.”
“Alright, then why did you call me here?”
“I heard that your Golden Page can extract Evil Force. So I want to try to force out this Black Lotus Flower Petal and see if you can extract it, so you can get familiar with the principle of this Natal Item.”
“Didn’t we just say we’d experiment on Alien Races? He’s only at the Body Tempering Realm, he won’t be in trouble, right?”
“Heh~! Don’t underestimate this old man. I am at the Spirit Sea Realm! Since I said I’d try, I naturally have thorough preparations.”
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment.
Spirit Sea Realm?
Aren’t you a professor doing scientific research?
And Wang Wen said you are both top geniuses, with the emphasis on the word ‘both’.
Looking at Yuan Guofeng’s proud gaze towards Wang Wen, and Wang Wen’s disdainful turn of his head.
Alright!
Wang Wen was probably ‘a little bit’ behind.
Without further ado, Yuan Guofeng released his vast Spiritual Energy as a Spirit Sea Realm expert.
Green energy filled the entire room.
The depth and power of this Spiritual Energy could be fully felt!
Bai Yu glanced at Wang Wen and thought: Kid, can’t you learn from others? Research and cultivation, do both!
Wang Wen glared at Bai Yu, found a bed to lie down on, and closed his eyes to rest.
As Yuan Guofeng’s Spiritual Energy was injected, Wu Yifei’s body also showed some reaction, beginning to twitch continuously.
Yuan Guofeng also quickly said, “The Evil Energy is escaping from the Soul Sea, and it is now flowing out from the Acupoints and circulating through the Meridians. Old Wang, get the Clear Blood Powder! After the Clear Blood Powder takes effect, then let young Bai Yu absorb the Evil Energy.”
Bai Yu: “Okay!”
Old Wang, who was lying down, did not delay and immediately sat up and administered the Clear Blood Powder.
