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

What kind of powerful person is the owner of such a sword?

"Thank you for your help, young lady and this lady. Otherwise, if Bu Liren had run away, it would have been a huge problem."

A sound interrupted her thoughts. The girl looked up and saw a blond boy of similar height leading a tall fox-woman towards her.

"Is your Luofu defense really this lax? Your military preparedness is truly lacking and utterly pathetic."

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Yanqing was somewhat displeased, but considering what had just happened, he didn't know how to refute it.

"I am Yun Li, from the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship. This fox-woman sister, is this sword yours?"

Yun Li didn't pay much attention to Yan Qing, but focused her attention on Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi nodded slightly. To be honest, it felt really good to be looked up to. Height really is important.

Seeing Bai Zhi admit it, Yun Li's eyes sparkled. "Sister is amazing. This sword always praises you to me, saying that the enemies you fight with it are all very powerful, and the battles are so exhilarating."

"You can talk to swords?"

Bai Zhi was a little curious. Although she had heard that Zhu Mingxianzhou was very skilled in forging, she really didn't know that it could listen to weapons talk.

"Of course, weapons are linked to a person's character. Take this guy next to me, for example. Although he has many swords, they all accuse him of being fickle and always looking for new ones."

"Having a new love, they forget their old one, tsk tsk."

Yun Li glanced at Yan Qing and said very bluntly.

“Young lady, I have not offended you. How can you slander me without my knowledge? Besides, a sword is just a sword, nothing more than a weapon.”

Hearing this, Yanqing was a little annoyed, but considering what had just happened, he suppressed his emotions.

After all, they came from the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship; they might be envoys who came this time.

"You don't understand. Machines have machine souls, and swords have sword souls. The longer a weapon is used, the more it will cooperate with its master. If the machine soul or sword soul is unhappy, even if it looks fine, it might cause trouble."

"But the most important thing is that the weapon must be in the master's hands, not the weapon commanding the master."

Yun Li stroked the Storm Sword and then handed it to Bai Zhi.

"Sister is a good person. Please treat this sword well and don't be like him, fickle and easily bored."

Yanqing was unconvinced. In his opinion, a sword is a sword. Why all the fuss? If a better weapon comes out, then he'll just switch to it.

This girl from the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat is full of twisted and heretical theories.

Chapter 660 Dragon Master's Thoughts

"Ahem, both of you are fighting for the people of Xianzhou, there's no need to be so tense."

Seeing that the two were somewhat at odds, Bai Zhi coughed lightly to break the awkward atmosphere.

"That's why I didn't say anything more, after all, this guy is really doing good deeds."

Yanqing: ……

Feeling a bit annoyed, Yanqing turned her gaze to Baizhi: "Sister, could you come with me to the Earth Balance Division? We need to make some records, and since you've saved so many people, you'll be rewarded."

Bai Zhi waved her hand, "No need, Yanqing Xiaowei, I have a lot of things to do next, and I may not have time to go to the Earth Balance Bureau with you to make records for the time being."

"I see... Would you mind leaving your contact information, sister?"

"Once you have time, you can tell me, and I will definitely prepare a reward."

"No need, no need. It's everyone's responsibility to protect our homeland. I don't need that little reward. The thing that makes me happiest is that no one got hurt."

She's currently using a pseudonym, so it's not appropriate for her to get too deeply involved in Luofu's internal affairs.

Moreover, the rewards Luo Fu could offer might be good for ordinary people, but for her, they were basically dispensable.

Her most important task now is to find Bailu and, incidentally, find out what tricks those Dragon Masters are up to in secret.

"It's a pity. No matter when you come, I will treat you with courtesy and keep my promise."

Yanqing said seriously.

Bai Zhi looked at Yan Qing thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and said, "Young man Yan Qing, perhaps you should pay more attention to your mindset."

"What do you mean by that, sister?"

Yanqing asked in confusion.

"Don't rush to grow up. Every age has its own emotions. Being like an adult at a young age isn't always a good thing."

She had noticed it before at the Dimensional Nexus: Yanqing was too impatient, wanting to make rapid progress.

He doesn't usually look like a child his age; instead, he seems like a mature adult, suppressing his true nature.

Yun Li, on the other hand, has the personality of a child and doesn't suppress her feelings at all.

"Brother Yanqing, just take these words with a grain of salt. Besides that, I suggest you pay more attention to those people over there."

As Bai Zhi spoke, she pointed to the fox-people cloud cavalry over there. She had always felt something was off about those people; they had that kind of wild animal stench that belonged to the Bu Li people.

Considering that Bu Liren had previously disguised himself as a fox-person in an attempt to transform into a Chiming, she strongly suspected that those people were actually Bu Liren in disguise.

But she couldn't just rush over, beat those people up, and force them to tell her if they were Bu Liren.

Neither the environment here, nor the other party's disguised identity, nor the time allows for doing so.

I can only give Yanqing a heads-up first.

"The people over there..."

Yan Qing frowned. He had indeed noticed some strange things before. As a member of the Yunqi Army's elite guards, and with the Xingchahai Central Hub being a crucial point of defense, he often patrolled and inspected the area.

But the fox-man cloud rider claimed to be a traveling military officer, and had a rather distinctive appearance, so it was impossible for him not to remember him.

"Thanks for reminding me, sister...wait, where is everyone?"

Yanqing turned around, about to express her gratitude, but found that Baizhi had already disappeared from the spot.

"They've already left, little brother. You didn't even ask their name. The hospitality in Luofu is really..."

Yun Li shook her head speechlessly and said.

"Uh……"

Upon hearing Yun Li's words, Yan Qing was speechless for a moment.

There's really no way to refute that. When you talk to someone, the first thing you should do is ask for their name. How could you forget something like that?

It shouldn't be.

Yanqing scratched his head. For some reason, he felt that the fox-woman sister was someone he knew, which made him forget to ask her name.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhi had already arrived at Lin Yuan Realm, reaching the coordinates mentioned in the previous message.

Bai Zhi walked to a rock and sat down casually.

Although it seemed like there was no one around, Bai Zhi could already feel the flow of water.

That's the Cloud Chanting Technique.

There must be quite a few guys around who have used the Cloud Chant Technique to become invisible and are observing her from the side.

After sensing those guys, Bai Zhi wasn't in a hurry and took out her phone to start playing.

Sure enough, not long after, a voice rang out from the surroundings, "Dr. Frost, you're skilled in pharmaceuticals and biology, right?"

Only then did Bai Zhi put down her phone. "Was it the Cloud Chanting Technique? A special spell of the Vidyadhara Clan?"

"Hehe, it seems the news was indeed true. Dr. Frost Snow has a deep understanding of our Ming Clan."

"That's natural. As a fox-people with a short lifespan, I've always been interested in the Vidyadhara race, which can reincarnate and transform. I've always thought that it would be great if I could become a member of the Vidyadhara race."

"I have studied a lot of things and achieved a lot of results, but I have not achieved the ultimate goal."

“Until that Dragon Master revealed that information to me, I knew that my previous idea was correct. Perhaps, through certain methods, other races can also become enlightened.”

"But now that we have that Dragon Lord, is this research still necessary?"

Bai Zhi finally voiced her doubts.

A voice came from the surrounding air: "Dr. Frost, you are very smart. You should know that there is a price to pay when unique power is held by one person instead of everyone."

"cost?"

Bai Zhi asked doubtfully.

"Hehe, the existence of Lady Baizhi has indeed opened a door for the continuation of my Chiming clan, but unfortunately, the key to that door is in her hands alone."

“Creating the next generation is a right that all enlightened beings possess. This power should not be held by one person, but should be extended to everyone.”

The voice gradually grew more fanatical, "We, the enlightened ones, as descendants of immortals, possess great talent and should rightfully enjoy more rights and more resources."

"However, the narrow-minded Dragon Lord is attempting to seize such power for himself, which we cannot allow."

"However, her existence has also given us a boost of confidence. If it weren't for her using this power to transform other races into Vidyadharas, and given the precedent of Lord Yinyue, we might have already given up."

"I see..."

Bai Zhi nodded knowingly; now she understood what this guy was up to.

It's simply because he sees that she alone has the power of transformation and enlightenment in her hands, and he feels that his life force has been seized, so he is very unhappy and wants to crack the secret himself.

Chapter 661 Entering the Laboratory

"Is it really okay to say these things so bluntly?"

Bai Zhi asked, somewhat concerned.

This is the first time I've encountered some of these things under my disguised identity. What if I turn against them? Won't these guys feel it's risky?

"Hehe, you can give it a try."

The sounds coming from the surroundings were self-evident. As a place managed by the Chiming Clan, if someone was really killed in Lin Yuan Realm, it would be easy to tamper with the evidence.

That's why they dared to speak their minds so frankly before.

"Doctor, you were recommended here, and I don't want to say anything unpleasant. I personally believe that you are indeed capable, but necessary tests are still necessary."

Seemingly sensing that these words were a bit too unpleasant, the voice added another sentence.

"Tell me, what is the test?"

“Great, Doctor. Please close your eyes. I’ll take you somewhere where you will complete our test.”

Bai Zhi frowned slightly, but still followed the voice's instructions and slowly closed her eyes. However, she released her mental energy to visualize everything around her.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the people around her who possessed the light broke free of their invisibility, came to her, put an eye patch on her, and then pressed a button on a nearby stone.

Suddenly, a tremor occurred, and Bai Zhi discovered that the ground beneath her feet was slowly moving, and a barrier rose up, taking her directly into the sea.

"A secret laboratory was actually hidden inside the ancient sea?"

Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised.

In the water, the device disguised as a plot of land moved very quickly. Bai Zhi estimated that in just a short time, it had moved about a hundred kilometers in the water.

Not only that, but they also passed through various disguised corals or other objects in the sea, eventually arriving at a cave in the sea.

"Doctor, please move forward."

A voice came from behind her, and Bai Zhi did as she was told, stepping inside.

A sense of spatial displacement swept over me.

Bai Zhi knew that it felt like entering another world. It seemed that this secret laboratory was hidden in the deep, dark depths of the ancient sea, and that a special cave had been built to conceal any possible disturbances.

"Alright, we can release the doctor's control now."

Upon hearing this, the Ming clan members standing behind Bai Zhi, holding weapons, stepped forward and removed Bai Zhi's blindfold.

After removing the blindfold, Bai Zhi was able to observe everything around her more clearly with her own eyes.

At first glance, this place doesn't look like a laboratory; rather, it resembles a city's central business district. From where she stood, she could see towering buildings all around, with numerous intelligent machines constantly transporting various supplies to those buildings in batches.

Bai Zhi glanced at them with interest, noting that many of them were various biological tissues.

"Doctor, how does our lab look?"

“It was a little unexpected.”
