"But it's true, Lady Bai Zhi is really amazing. I heard she also knows alchemy. The Youth Preservation Pill that we got from the War Wolf team was made by her."
"Yes, I've heard that. Although maintaining youthful appearance isn't difficult in advanced civilizations, it generally requires constant maintenance, unlike Lady Baizhi's pills, which freeze you in place after just one dose."
"This technology is also very valuable in the universe. I heard that someone has already approached the United Government to discuss purchasing it, and the price offered is said to be quite high."
"If we could reverse even a tiny bit of Earth's surface, we'd probably make a fortune."
……
"Hmm, are there still many prosperous people..."
This time, Bai Zhi came to Chang Le Tian, where the Yunqi Army soldiers reported more battle reports to her.
Although she has put in a lot of effort during this period, there are just too many people in Fengrao, and at least half of them are still on the run.
They're like cockroaches, everywhere and insidious.
The immortal ship is enormous, its interior composed of countless grottoes, capable of accommodating hundreds of billions of people.
Bai Zhi frowned. She realized a problem. Although with Yun Qi and her efforts, they would eventually be able to deal with these guys, it would be too slow. It would be a long and drawn-out battle.
Those are hundreds of millions of prosperous people, not hundreds of millions of pigs.
She needs to get this done more quickly, otherwise this situation could drag on for who knows how long.
"How about we exchange it for a Golden Core?"
Bai Zhi looked at the faint golden light emanating from her miniature Bagua furnace.
If this thing were actually offered as a reward, bounty hunters from all over the universe would probably flock to it instantly.
But she immediately dismissed the idea. Pulling people into the realm of immortality without permission might be acceptable if done in private, but doing it publicly would be unacceptable no matter what.
This is not suitable for the Immortal Ship.
"Hmm... perhaps, a slight improvement to the Youth Preservation Pill would be a good option?"
Bai Zhi thought about it and realized that the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was too powerful, granting people a lifespan that far exceeded the time that ordinary immortals would spend before falling into demonic possession.
But what if we slightly modified the Youth Preservation Pill so that it not only preserves the appearance on the surface, but also preserves both appearance and inner beauty?
For example, if a person has a lifespan of 100 years, they will naturally age.
For most people, the quality of life is generally not very good in the last ten years or so of their lives.
If such an elixir could be created, allowing the individual to remain as vibrant as in their youth for 99 years out of 100, only for the effects to become uncontrollable in the final year, causing rapid aging and eventual death.
Just like the fox people on the Immortal Ship, they only age rapidly in the period leading up to their death.
If we use this and set a ratio, for example, 20 people in Fengrao can exchange for one?
For many large powers, this does not seem to be an unacceptable deal; in fact, for some wealthy and powerful people, it may be a very worthwhile one.
In this way, it wouldn't be considered as leading people to immortality.
Moreover, the difficulty of refining it will be much lower.
If the difficulty and resources required to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir are 1000, then this is probably only 1.
After all, every bountiful people are essentially long-lived beings, and materials refined from their life force are easy and economical to obtain.
She can probably refine several hundred of them in one batch.
"Let's discuss it with the general."
Bai Zhi thought about it for a moment. She couldn't make this decision alone; she had to discuss it with Jing Yuan.
But she felt that Jingyuan would most likely agree to it.
"This method, Little Angelica, you've really given me a pleasant surprise."
Inside a command ship in space, Jing Yuan glanced at the message on his phone, paused slightly for a moment, and then laughed.
Just as Bai Zhi thought, he did not reject Bai Zhi's idea. On the contrary, he thought it was a very good move.
The longer the drought drags on, the more suffering the people of Xianzhou will endure, which is something he doesn't want to see.
Moreover, the Cloud Cavalry will inevitably be consumed in the process.
Although the Cloud Riders are not afraid of death, why not do it if it can save more of their brothers?
However, if external forces were to intervene and arrest those wealthy people, what they would need to do is to do their best to maintain order and prevent these external forces from causing trouble for the people of Xianzhou.
Chapter 910 Miss Topa, Shall We Make a Deal?
"Little Angelica, your idea is good, but there are still many details that need to be improved."
In the command ship, Jing Yuan pondered for a moment, then sent a video call to Bai Zhi.
This kind of thing can't be done on a whim.
“I know that, for example, in this case, it’s impossible to open the entire area. We’ll choose the most severely affected areas that are basically uninhabited.”
Bai Zhi was well aware that this was not something that could be accomplished simply by talking about it; firstly, the area had to be defined.
It is impossible to open up the entire Luofu area; it is highly unrealistic and dangerous.
However, the solution is actually quite simple: just find Fu Xuan to calculate the most suitable area.
The next step is to set a time limit, requiring the enemy within the abundant land of Luofu to fight within a certain time.
These people from Fenglai Village must also have obvious variant characteristics, and be accompanied by relevant video evidence, to prevent the misuse of fellow villagers' names.
Although the probability of killing innocent people and claiming credit is actually not high, because the Grand Diviner is not someone to be trifled with, he can find out whether someone is hostile to the prosperous people or has committed any violations by divination.
It means that Qingque, Fu Xuan, and the others will probably have to work overtime.
However, Qingque might complain endlessly, but Fu Xuan might actually enjoy it?
It would be best to keep the event within a short period of time. Bai Zhi didn't want to keep the event running indefinitely, nor did she want to expand it beyond Luofu.
After all, if that were the case, someone might come up with the idea of raising bountiful people to trade for goods.
She didn't want to spend her days doing nothing but refining pills.
Moreover, Bai Zhi believed that as long as there was profit to be made, there would certainly be quite a few people who would do that.
After all, what's that saying again? If there's a 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there's a 100% profit, capital will dare to risk being hanged; if there's a 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws.
This is more than a 300% return.
Fortunately, the Immortal Boat had already taken control of the gun, which was enough to break the hands of those who dared to covet it.
After sharing her thoughts with Jing Yuan, Jing Yuan nodded with a smile.
"Little Angelica has thought things through quite thoroughly. I think you really have the potential to govern a region."
Jing Yuan said, seemingly with a hidden meaning.
This child, perhaps after proper training, could become the new General of Luofu after Fu Xuan.
"Don't."
Bai Zhi shook her head repeatedly, "I'm quite lazy. If I were really put in charge, I would go crazy."
She'd seen Jingyuan busy with these things every day before; it was incredibly tedious.
Even though we offered her a seat, she wouldn't take it. It's not like she can be capricious about something.
With hundreds of billions of people at stake, any decision is considered extremely risky, if not extremely risky.
I'm more comfortable in my current situation.
Seeing Bai Zhi's reaction, Jing Yuan couldn't help but chuckle. Fu Xuan was eager to become one, but this little one was already complaining.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although General Xianzhou has the strength of an envoy, he also has to bear the corresponding responsibilities. Every day he is either working hard or charging ahead.
Bai Zhi doesn't have these constraints; she can do whatever she wants, a free person with considerable honor and power.
What an enviable life!
Jing Yuan sighed. In the past, such a comparison might have accelerated his progress in cultivating his demonic body.
However, he can still have the mindset of a young man now, and in some ways, he's even younger than Fu Xuan.
"Yes, I will refine your idea. As for external forces involved, they can only be large and reputable forces."
After shaking those strange thoughts out of his mind, Jing Yuan gave a special reminder: although opening it up to all forces might speed up the cleansing of the Fengrao people, the risks would also increase dramatically, and in the end, it would be a losing proposition.
Cooperating with large forces, in terms of both organization and standardization, far surpasses the efforts of scattered and disorganized individuals.
For example, a company.
Although the company has many problems, Xianzhou does have a very deep cooperation with the company, especially Yaoqing Xianzhou.
So we're practically old acquaintances.
They probably wouldn't mind exchanging the heads of the wealthy people for the angelica root.
With sufficient profits, the company can operate quickly and efficiently.
"These details will need to be stipulated by the General; I'm sure you're better at this than I am."
"Haha, you really are..."
Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Little Bai Zhi, leave this matter to me. You go and help the Shence Mansion first."
"That area is the most populated area of the Abundant People because it is adjacent to the cave where the Peach Tree is located, and many high-ranking Abundant People are also there."
"Although there is no immediate concern over there, it would be even better if the situation could be resolved as soon as possible."
"Yeah, I'll go."
Bai Zhi nodded slightly. Since many high-level wealthy people had gathered there, it was a good time to accumulate national materials. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous if they couldn't afford to give out rewards.
"Oh, right, General, regarding the large forces, I'll contact some people at the company."
Since the decision has been made to do this, the company is definitely an indispensable player.
Compared to others, Bai Zhi felt that finding Toppa might be a good option.
Firstly, because they were quite familiar with each other, and secondly, because she understood Topa relatively well.
"Of course, if Xiao Baizhi has a suitable candidate."
In this kind of situation, it doesn't matter who you cooperate with.
"Huh... information about Miss Bai Zhi?"
Topa, who was also paying attention to this war of abundance, turned on his phone after hearing the notification tone for special attention.
Bai Zhi: [Miss Topa, are you interested in making a deal?]
Topa: [Miss Baizhi, do you need our company's help? Actually, we don't need a transaction; our company can send troops.]
The friendship of an Envoy, especially the friendship of a free Envoy who is not a general of the Immortal Ship, is enough for the company to pay some price to maintain.
Bai Zhi: [No, the price must still be paid. I have a medicine here that, once ingested, can halt a person's physical state, allowing them to remain in that state until the very last year of their life.]
Upon seeing this line of text, Toppa fell silent. Could it be that the Immortal Ship was going to put the elixir of immortality up for sale?
Angelica dahurica: [It's like an ordinary person living to 100 years old taking this at age 20; they only start aging rapidly at age 99 and die at age 100.]
Upon seeing this, Topa's heart involuntarily stirred with excitement; she could foresee that this thing possessed immense value.
Toppa: [You mean...?]
Bai Zhi: [Miss Topa should know the current situation on the Immortal Ship, right? We need a lot of manpower to clear out those hostile and bountiful people running rampant inside the ship.]
Chapter 911 The Concern of the Balanced Star God
Topa: [Interstellar Peace Corporation has ample manpower; no matter how many you need, we can provide them!]
Toppa responded almost immediately.
Bai Zhi's meaning was immediately clear to her: she simply needed the manpower of the Interstellar Peace Company to help clear out the remaining Fengrao people.
Their company has taken on this kind of business before.
This kind of thing has happened more than once in the cooperation with Yaoqing. Fengrao Min is not always hostile to Xianzhou. In many cases, the company is also attacked by these guys.
Therefore, both sides help each other for the safety of trade routes.
Moreover, Bai Zhi's words implied that she wanted to use this medicine to exchange for the heads of those wealthy people.
