The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

However, there is a huge problem with this, namely, the deterrent power of the envoy.

If you copy someone else's work and then produce it on a large scale, isn't that like slapping someone's face in the face?

Don't those people have any pride?

Once this kind of thing is exposed, even without the magistrate taking personal action, some people trying to curry favor will probably resort to underhanded tactics.

That's a consequence that most people can't bear, including these wealthy people.

They're not like a company, with both power and money; they only have one of those things. The other, at most, is that they have some fleets.

These commercial escort fleets are practically nothing compared to the envoy.

"Of course, it can't be mass production. After reverse engineering, I will only produce small batches and trade them only within our circle. How about that?"

Horek quickly adopted his stance; he wasn't stupid, mass production would truly offend people.

How could a shrewd and experienced businessman like him make such an outrageous mistake?

Good things should only be used on a small scale to minimize the chances of being targeted and becoming a target.

“I think Mr. Horek’s idea is quite feasible. I had my subordinates predict the price of the Youth Preservation Pill. According to that price, if the people in our group pooled their money, they could probably buy three pills, which would be enough for reverse engineering.”

A wealthy individual who had never spoken before stepped forward and spoke.

Several other wealthy individuals then seconded the proposal, showing that they were quite interested in it.

Even at the projected price, they could afford it.

However, as a sophisticated capitalist, if they can obtain something at a cheaper price, they will not buy it at a higher price.

Besides, if the formula were truly cracked, wouldn't future generations be blessed?

"Very good, it seems everyone here is a smart person. Handing over reverse engineering to my company will definitely not be a problem!"

Seeing the reactions in the group, Horek smiled.

Never before had such a wonderful start been possible, with everyone offering their full support; all I needed to do was provide my company's research personnel for reverse engineering.

He had no doubt about whether the reverse engineering could be successful.

Because Bai Zhi isn't one of those geniuses. While those geniuses' inventions are indeed very powerful and sometimes difficult to replicate, most things that aren't too outrageous can still be imitated without much trouble.

Moreover, those scholars from the Academy of Liberal Arts are no pushovers; their high salaries and bonuses are not given for nothing.

He believed they would surely bring him a wonderful victory.

"In that case, let's begin the vote!"

With that in mind, Horek immediately started a poll in the group.

He then approved the plan with 15 votes in favor and 1 abstention.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhi had already arrived at the Shence Mansion.

Here, the people guarding the area were none other than the train crew.

"Hey, Uncle Yang, long time no see! Thanks for helping guard this place!"

Bai Zhi stepped forward and greeted Lao Yang.

"Hmm...it's only been a few days, hasn't it?"

Old Yang was puzzled; Bai Zhi looked like he hadn't seen her in a long time.

Bai Zhi smiled mysteriously. Although it seemed like only a few days had passed on Old Yang's side, it felt like a considerable amount of time had passed in another world for her.

"I'll take care of the rest of the bountiful people. Teacher Himeko, Sister March Seven, and Hoshi, I'll give you some good stuff later."

Bai Zhi glanced at the prosperous people over there.

The number of them here is not as large as before in the Star Chariot Sea Central Hub, but judging from their physical mutations and the aura they exude, although the number is smaller, their quality has obviously increased a lot.

"A gift from Xiaobaizhi! I'm so looking forward to it."

March 7th rubbed his hands together and said with some concern.

"Could it be that youth-preserving pill that was leaked online?"

"No, it's much more precious than that."

After calculating how much of the goods these high-level, bountiful people could probably produce, Bai Zhi smiled and said to March 7th.

For the train crew, let's not use those cheap, low-quality "Youth-Preserving Pills" that only produce a few hundred pills per batch; it would be too shabby to be recognized.

"Little Angelica, just do what you can. You're a member of our train crew, there's no need to spend so much."

After directing the railgun to attack a group of bountiful people, Himeko patted Baizhi's head and said gently.

"Hehe, I know, but don't worry, Himeko-sensei. This thing is pretty ordinary to me, and it's not anything particularly valuable."

……

Chapter 913 Balance: I really like this child

"Brothers, charge! The paradise under the peach tree is just ahead. As long as we can get there..."

On the battlefield of Shence Prefecture, a tall, winged man from Fengrao shouted to those around him, his eyes filled with fervor.

The mysterious person who leaked the information to them said that the peach tree was located in a grotto-heaven surrounding the Shence Mansion.

Thinking of the miraculous effects of the peach tree, the leader of the prosperous people couldn't help but drool.

If he had this, his tribe would be great again.

Moreover, he strongly suspected that the peach tree was not a miracle of abundance at all, but a miracle of immortality.

This is because it is not only ridiculously effective, but also has no side effects. It is like a higher-level version of the Blessing of Abundance - the Blessing of Immortality.

But the Immortal Star God had already disappeared, so he was no longer certain.

However, regardless of whether it can be confirmed or not, as long as we get our hands on that thing, we'll know whether it's an immortal miracle or not.

If so, they might evolve from the Bountiful People into immortal descendants like the immortal dragonborn, beings far superior to the Bountiful People, eternally living and endlessly reincarnating.

"Chief, we've just spotted someone resembling the demon bow envoy named Bai Zhi at Shence Mansion. Should we still charge?"

The elite Fengrao people surrounding the leader of the Fengrao people were full of hesitation. Before Bai Zhi was here, they had been unable to take the place for a long time. Now that Bai Zhi, the messenger of the demon bow, had arrived, wouldn't the situation be hopeless?

"Buzz!"

"Chief...you?!"

The elite, wealthy man stared at his leader in disbelief, then struggled to cover his neck. He hadn't expected that his mere mention of it would lead to such a deadly act from his leader.

"This man is disrupting morale; he should be executed!"

The leader of the bountiful people sneered and reached out, ripping out the heart of the elite soldier before swallowing him whole.

The elite Fengrao Min stared wide-eyed. His heart was his weakness, just like the Danfu of the Immortal Ship People. With his entire heart taken away, he lost all regenerative abilities and could only collapse to the ground, convulsing and waiting to die.

The leader of the prosperous people knew perfectly well that what the other party said was true, but at this moment, even if it was true, it was still false.

We've come all this way with great difficulty, we can't just slink away like this.

Moreover, facing layers upon layers of encirclement, whether they can even retreat is uncertain. Therefore, it is essential to unite the troops and break through all the defenses on that side.

As for Bai Zhi, the envoy, he was hoping for the best.

There are as many as 3 million high-ranking and prosperous people here, and nearly 10,000 leaders. They are an absolutely powerful fighting force, capable of rivaling 20 times, or 60 million, of their own kind.

With such formidable combat power, even a Commander would probably have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge... right?

Didn't the envoy get worn down by the horde of insects back then? This envoy, for his own safety, certainly wouldn't confront them head-on.

At that time, they would have had an opportunity to break through the defenses, enter the cave, and obtain the sacred peach tree.

This is also why he killed his own subordinate.

We cannot give up now. The future of the tribe depends on them to fill the gaps. If they are cowardly, who will fill the gaps?

Surely it can't be him, the leader, who fills it out, right?

Seeing their comrades killed, fear flashed in the eyes of the other elite Fengrao people. Now, they could only obey their leader's call and began to charge relentlessly.

Unexpectedly, just as they were howling and charging forward, countless green lights descended from the sky and directly invaded their bodies, catching them completely off guard.

"This thing is draining our life force! Minions, suppress it!!"

After carefully sensing it, the leader's expression immediately changed. As people of abundance, they were quite familiar with this form; it was simply a transformation of a life form.

However, to do this, one must have a very profound understanding of abundant destiny and the forms of life.

Could it be that this celestial vessel is hiding a bountiful envoy?

"what……"

Seeing that the elite group of the Abundant People had not been immediately turned into materials by her Abundance ability, but was instead temporarily suppressed, Bai Zhi let out a soft exclamation.

These guys are really different from those cannon fodder who only have quantity but no quality.

"Is it due to a strong will and physical strength?"

Bai Zhi stroked her chin and carefully observed the situation of this group of prosperous people.

They are not unaffected; rather, a large portion of their self-healing ability is diverted to fight the growing foreign substance within their bodies, resulting in a much slower recovery from external injuries.

Even so, the recovery ability and physical strength of this elite group of Fengrao people still far surpassed those of ordinary Fengrao people.

"Hmm, we can't just use other methods to kill it."

Bai Zhi frowned. She could easily use a large-scale area-of-effect attack to wipe out this group of guys right now.

However, in that case, their life force would be annihilated in an instant, and they probably wouldn't be able to extract any materials from their bodies. How would they then be able to extract materials to refine more Nine-Turn Golden Pills?

She needs these guys to die slowly, preferably without being able to squeeze the "seeds" within her that are constantly eroding and draining their life force.

"If we can prevent them from thinking, then we probably won't be able to suppress them, right?"

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up; she seemed to have come up with a good idea.

Looking around again, it became clear that the garrison in Shence Prefecture was currently holding their fortresses and had not ventured out to engage the elite troops of Fengrao in close combat.

This gave her a good opportunity to use that move.

"Uncle Yang, Teacher Ji Zi, please keep an eye on the Cloud Riders around here and tell them not to go out. I might be using some wide-range and dangerous attacks later."

Before using it, Bai Zhi spoke to Lao Yang first.

"Yes, I will try my best to keep them safe. Little Angelica, let me see what you can do."

Old Yang pushed up his glasses and said calmly.

"Hehe, you'll see soon~"

After saying this, a cloud of smoke rose from Bai Zhi's body, and after the smoke dissipated, a huge white dragon appeared on the spot.

At the same time, yin and yang energies rose from her dragon body.

Her plan was simple: these elite members of the Bountiful People could not be killed outright, as that would extinguish their life force.

So let's change our approach. We can forcefully control them until they have no consciousness, letting the seeds within them devour their life force and turn them into materials for our alchemy.

And when it comes to making someone lose consciousness, what could be more suitable than a sheep charm?

Of course, it's quite challenging to make so many people lose control of their bodies and have their souls leave their bodies.

Generally speaking, to make someone's soul leave their body, close contact is required, like the effect of the Sorcerer Supreme in Marvel slapping someone's soul out of their body.

However, perhaps two talismans can be used together to achieve a similar effect.

That is, the Tiger Talisman, which is responsible for balance, and the Sheep Talisman, which is responsible for the soul, are used together.

The yin and yang energies around Bai Zhi grew increasingly intense. She soared into the air and looked at the Fengrao people who were attacking her, their mouths agape.

Just like the ink painting effect in the game, black and white breath spewed out from Bai Zhi's mouth, spreading across the entire battlefield.

The Tiger Talisman, normally intended to balance a person's yin and yang and be beneficial, is also depicted in anime as having the ability to split a person into two separate individuals.

Of course, she couldn't cause such a million-level unit to split into two individuals.

She doesn't need to do that.

All she wanted was enough to disrupt the bodies and minds of these bountiful people, to make their bodies and minds no longer in harmony.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!!"
