Bai Zhi spoke the truth.
"Haha, that's what many people say when they come here. They think it will be a simple experimental base, but I have commerce and entertainment here, so that researchers can enjoy everything."
"Of course, in the beginning, our laboratory was the kind you imagined, but with time and increased investment, it gradually developed into this kind."
"Not only research on the path to enlightenment, but also much research on other related biological fields is produced here, which is a major factor contributing to the rapid development of Luofudandingsi."
Bai Zhi glanced at the person who spoke. It was an ordinary member of the Chiming clan, but he had something that looked like a cell phone hanging in front of him. He must have been communicating with her through this device all the way here.
"Oh~"
Bai Zhi asked meaningfully, "It seems you are really dedicated to scientific research. With such favorable conditions, you must have attracted quite a few people."
"Scientific progress is one of the sources of happiness for the entire community, and it is essential to take good care of researchers."
"However, if you want to enjoy this treatment, you'll have to pass our test first."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to greet him.
"Doctor, please come with me. You will be tested there."
As Bai Zhi looked around, she followed the people into a building, where she actually saw many Wisdom Eggs.
"These eggs..."
"Doctor, don't worry about it. In their past lives, they were all heinous criminals. We will spare their lives in the end so that they can be successfully reincarnated and have a new life."
Bai Zhi glanced at the camera. Using heinous criminals for experiments, it's amazing that this guy could even think of such a thing.
Emotionally speaking, she wasn't really that disgusted, but in other respects, she didn't like what this guy did.
Who defines what constitutes unforgivable evil? Who grants this authority?
It's just an excuse for him to conduct human experiments, yet he makes it sound so high-sounding.
Even if someone is truly wicked, it's not his place to judge them.
As Bai Zhi walked forward, she came to a spacious area where various advanced instruments and materials were placed, as well as... several members of the Chiming clan lying on hospital beds.
"Doctor, do you see these people? The test this time is to treat them. As long as they improve, you will pass. If you need any additional materials, you can ask us for them."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi moved closer to the people lying in the hospital beds.
The first Vidyadhara had two branches growing from his head, resembling dragon horns.
Moreover, Bai Zhi was very familiar with the power surging within her body.
It was a powerful force, but it was used very crudely.
"You've infused it with the power of abundance?"
"The doctor is very smart. Generally speaking, strong vitality will induce something deep in the genes. Did you see the horns on his head? Although they are tree branches, they have grown into a shape like dragon horns."
"This suggests that within our enlightened genes, there may be a blueprint for evolving towards a higher level, namely the form of the Dragon Lord."
The man's voice was full of pride; he seemed very confident in his achievement.
Bai Zhi shook her head, turned around, found some medicines she needed from the pile of materials, and then threw them into a furnace.
Under the power of the Dragon Talisman, the Six Ding Divine Fire was simulated, breaking down the medicine. Combined with the power of the Tiger Talisman, it began to harmonize, ultimately achieving a unified whole.
A moment later, a pill emitting a faint purple light was taken out of the furnace and fed directly into the mouth of the Vidyadhara.
"The doctor's methods are really... interesting."
The man's voice sounded somewhat surprised; this was very different from what he had imagined.
Chapter 662 Who do you think I am?
"As long as it works, that's enough."
Bai Zhi answered, then looked at the second one. This person was even more outrageous, like a Frankenstein's monster. The head and part below the neck were of the Chiming Clan, while the lower body should be of a Celestial Ship Clan.
"The Immortal Boat people possess the Danfu, a divine organ. It is because of the power provided by this organ that the Immortal Boat people can be called the Celestial Race."
"He is the product of the combination of the two. We combined the secret techniques passed down by the Medicine King and injected the genes of the Visionary into the lower body of this Immortal Ship Man. By using the restorative power of the Danfu, we can prevent the lower body from collapsing easily."
"If the bodies of the Immortal Ship people can be fused with Chiming, then perhaps we can find a new path."
Bai Zhi, expressionless, collected some more materials and made a pill. Its effect was nothing more than to separate the two sides, allowing a new body to grow from the head.
In the monitoring room, Tao Ran was slightly surprised as he watched the two Ming clan members recover rapidly after taking the pills.
The effect was even better than he had imagined.
In his mind, if the two test subjects could show improvement in their physical indicators after taking the Angelica dahurica medicine, that would be considered acceptable.
But now, the two test subjects seem to be improving at a visible rate.
This cheered him up a little.
This time, I think I've really encountered an SSR.
Have you made any research results over there?
Long Shitao, remotely controlling the monitor, asked the scientists who were still studying the blood.
"I'm sorry, sir, we need more time."
As expected, the answer from the other end did not surprise him at all.
“You bunch of useless people, stop for now. I’ll bring someone with me later; she might bring more inspiration.”
After saying that, Long Shitao left his seat in the monitoring room, tidied his appearance, and walked out.
Now that the other party has proven their abilities, he, as the boss, naturally has to go and greet them.
"click"
The laboratory door opened, and Bai Zhi, expressionless, looked up at Long Shitaoran who walked in.
"That look in his eyes..."
Tao Ran frowned slightly. He disliked the way Bai Zhi looked at him; it was as if she were looking at a dead person, not a living creature.
"Maybe that's the look in someone who works in this field..."
He comforted himself with this thought, after all, no moral person could do so many inhumane experiments, so it was normal for him to have such a cold look in his eyes.
"You are Tao Ran, the one in charge of this laboratory?"
Bai Zhi looked Tao Ran up and down and noticed that he also had a tree branch on his head that resembled a dragon horn.
Perhaps they've tested some things on themselves as well.
No wonder this guy, who should have been reincarnated long ago, is still standing here perfectly fine.
"Doctor, you have good eyesight. I am Long Shitaoran, the controller of this laboratory, and also your future boss."
Tao Ran walked over and extended his hand to Bai Zhi, "Welcome, Doctor, to our big family. Let's contribute to the future of Chi Ming."
Bai Zhi didn't shake Tao Ran's hand, but instead asked with great interest:
"Hehe, Mr. Tao Ran, you're trying to recruit me? Aren't you afraid I'm someone else's spy? After all, this matter violates many of the laws of the Immortal Ship."
Tao Ran smiled and said, "Doctor, please don't joke around. This cave is isolated from the world. Unless you break through it by force, it is not easy to break through."
He pointed to the ceiling. "This city is not only home to research institutions, but also to an endless array of weapons. Even this ceiling is equipped with high-powered laser weapons."
"If anyone is found to have committed any wrongdoing, no matter who it is, they will be reduced to ashes by the city's defensive weapons and robot attacks."
"What if it's General Jingyuan?"
Bai Zhi asked with great interest.
"This is the sacred ground of my clan, protected by the alliance. Even if General Jingyuan comes, he cannot do anything to me!"
Tao Ran said loudly.
"Mr. Tao Ran is indeed very cautious; he even considered this point."
"Haha, you flatter me. After all, this place doesn't just belong to me. Doctor, please follow me."
After a complicated examination, Bai Zhi followed Tao Ran to the top floor of a building in the very center of the city.
At the same time, here, we saw Bailu lying unconscious in bed.
"That's the White Dew Dragon Girl, right?"
Bai Zhi forcibly suppressed her anger and asked Tao Ran in a seemingly calm manner.
"Of course."
Tao Ran smiled and said, "She is very special. Whether it is her background or her lineage, she is of great research value."
"Mr. Taoran, I've heard that Lady Baizhi is very fond of Bailu Longnu. Aren't you afraid she'll get angry if you do this?"
"Of course I'm afraid."
Tao Ran readily admitted this, "If Lady Bai Zhi were to see this scene, given her relationship with Bai Lu Long Nu, she would probably want to kill me."
"Then why do it?"
Tao Ran shook his head bitterly, "Since the chaos of the Drinking Moon, the number of people holding the Ming Dynasty has become increasingly scarce."
With the Dragon Lord exiled, I and several other Dragon Masters had no choice but to struggle to the utmost and try to salvage the situation. Our methods might have been somewhat radical, and perhaps misunderstood, but ultimately, it all came down to one thing—the continuation of the Vidya tradition.
"However, the people of the Immortal Ship are determined to eradicate the plague and stand idly by while the people of Chiming suffer. Doctor, I think you, as a biologist, should understand my good intentions. All I have done is to survive."
"Even if it really is Lady Baizhi, I dare say this: everything I have done is for the sake of Chiming!"
Bai Zhi shook her head. "How could I not know the problems that Chi Ming is facing? Seeking survival is not a sin."
“But Elder Taoran, your behavior has exceeded the limits that a survivor should have. You are like a beast that only knows how to ‘reproduce’, without a trace of human compassion.”
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's answer, Tao Ran vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but his ability to think was largely taken over by the question.
"Oh? Even if we call ourselves 'noble dragons,' we are nothing more than upright-walking animals. The survival of our race is the most important thing. If I don't act like a beast, I'm afraid I won't even be able to be a human being!"
"The ancients said that sages are not benevolent. Bai Zhilong Venerable arbitrarily increases or decreases the number of transformation slots. He clearly has the capacity to transform more, but he uses this divinely bestowed power as a rein to control those below, without considering the survival of the whole."
"It's laughable that my colleagues disregarded the whole for their own petty interests, and were divided by their words. So I'm left to take all the blame for the world's evils!"
"Slap-slap-slap".
Bai Zhi clapped her hands and said, "Elder, what you said is very good. I agree with many of your ideas, but you shouldn't have set your sights on Bai Lu."
Tao Ran finally realized that something was seriously wrong. Bai Zhi's appearance didn't seem like that of someone who came to do research.
"You...who are you?!"
Tao Ran was startled and quickly waved his hand. Dozens of laser guns and various weapons immediately appeared around him, along with several guards standing beside him.
"Who do you think I am?"
As the tall fox-person in front of him gradually transformed into Bai Zhi's appearance, Tao Ran's breath caught in his throat.
Chapter 663 Tao Ran's End
"Who do you think I am?"
Looking at Bai Zhi standing in front of him, Tao Ran suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, which was his greatest fear.
Although he had previously said that he wasn't afraid of Bai Zhi and that he would argue with her even if she came, he was not afraid of her.
But now that Bai Zhi was actually standing in front of him, he felt as if his thoughts were about to stop along with his breath.
"What's wrong, Elder Taoran? You're speechless now? Weren't you just acting all high and mighty, the only one in the Chiming Clan?"
"Why aren't you saying anything now? Come on, say a few words. I really liked how unruly you were just now."
"Bai... Lady Baizhi... it's me."
Tao Ran's lips trembled. He had imagined the scene of being caught, but the people who usually arrested him were like Jing Yuan.
The result will simply be a public trial by the six emperors, the execution of the scale-removing punishment, and his reincarnation.
With the addition of the Vidyadhara Secret Technique, he can awaken his past life memories again; he is still himself.
But Bai Zhi is different. As the Dragon Lord, she surpasses him in every aspect, whether in terms of power or strength.
Not to mention that many dragon masters have probably already joined the other side, and he can't even compare to them in terms of connections.
