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

Although this thing is pretty useless, who knows, I might be able to discover some new things in it.

This is also why she told Valon that she could collect things other than talismans.

Perhaps because the core statue had been removed, the sealed building instantly vanished into nothingness.

"Hey, Valon, what happened to you?"

Walong's body was emaciated, and he looked like he was about to die. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Bai Zhi would have thought he was already dead.

"Miss Baizhi...you're finally out! I almost starved to death here..."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's voice, Valon moved his body with great difficulty, his lifeless eyes fixed on Bai Zhi.

"Starve to death..." Bai Zhi frowned, then realized, "Has it been a long time?"

Valon nodded with difficulty. "It's been at least seven or eight days."

"Are you going to stay here the whole time? Forget it, let me treat you first. I'm afraid you'll die in front of me like this."

Bai Zhi chuckled and squatted down, pressing her fingers on Valon's head, using the Horse Talisman and Dragon Talisman simultaneously.

In an instant, Valon's withered face became plump, and his extremely pale complexion turned rosy.

"Ah, I'm saved!!"

Valon shouted with emotion, tears streaming down his face.

"So what exactly happened? Didn't you try going out to find something to eat?"

Bai Zhi didn't believe that this guy would be so loyal as to wait for her to come out.

Valon wasn't the kind of guy who would risk his life.

"For the first two days after you came in, I was actually waiting here. But on the third day, I realized that if you didn't come out, I would have to go find food, or I would starve to death here."

"And then, I guess you didn't succeed."

Hearing this, Valon was a little embarrassed. "You're right. At this time, I discovered something terrible... After three days, my body became very weak, and I was extremely tired even when walking."

"Moreover... there seem to be wolves lurking outside."

Valon pointed somewhat fearfully to the forest outside.

"I was planning to gather some wild food, but as soon as I stepped out of a certain area, those wolves appeared with ill intent. I had no choice but to retreat."

"Within this area, the wolves dare not come in."

"But there's no food here, and if it weren't for these small puddles, I'd probably be dead from thirst by now..."

Valon, his eyes wide, shouted, "Watch out! The wolves are attacking!!"

304 Valon: Lady Baizhi, help me make money!!

"Ah, is it because the statues are no longer there to suppress them that they have nothing to fear?"

Without even looking behind her, Bai Zhi created a wall of fire at the wolves' feet, turning them into roasted wolf meat.

"Gulu."

Smelling the fragrant roasted wolf meat, Valon swallowed hard. Although Bai Zhi had healed his weakness caused by hunger, his body, which had not eaten for a long time, was still protesting.

"Haha, alright, we've got the stuff, so there's no need to think about eating this stuff. I'll take you back to San Francisco and we'll find a burger joint to have a proper meal."

"Thanks you!"

Valon's eyes lit up when he heard this, but his expression changed immediately.

He hadn't forgotten the feeling Bai Zhi had given him last time; that terrifying experience was like taking a trip through hell.

"Miss Bai Zhi, um... could you slow down a bit?"

He said in a low voice.

"Sure, but the downside is that you might eat a little later and get your money a little later. If you don't mind, we can have a meal in a nearby European town first. I don't mind."

Bai Zhi shrugged. Anyway, she didn't have anything urgent to do at the moment, so staying in Europe for a while wasn't a bad idea.

"Well, I think there's a Chinese saying that goes, 'Speed ​​is of the essence in war.' Wasting time on the road is a shameful thing to do. I can't sacrifice my precious time for my personal experience. Please take me back!"

Upon hearing that his money would be delayed, Valon immediately demonstrated his awareness.

It's just a bad experience; compared to money, it's nothing.

"Very good, very spirited. Without this willingness to endure hardship, how can one become a tycoon!"

Bai Zhi immediately gave Valon a thumbs up, then pulled him along and they started flying.

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph!!"

Although it was his second time flying with Baizhi Airlines, Valon couldn't help but instinctively scream, only to have the endless gale force forcefully filling his mouth.

A moment later, the disheveled Vallon and the as-usual Bai Zhi landed in front of a fast food restaurant in San Francisco.

"Boss, two classic burger and cola combos, please."

"Okay, coming right away."

The owner readily agreed and soon served the two of them two set meals.

Upon seeing the food, Valon completely disregarded his gentlemanly manners and immediately began to gulp it down.

Meanwhile, on the television in the fast food restaurant, a program caught the attention of Bai Zhi and others.

"Breaking news! A company called Destiny claims to have developed a drug that can cure cancer, and has even invited several state legislators to endorse it."

“These state legislators were very certain that the research and development projects of Destiny Corporation were absolutely real. They said that it was all because of the great Angelica Saint Master that these poor patients had a brighter future.”

"cough cough"

Upon hearing these words, Valon, who was wolfing down his food, patted his chest hard and it took him a while to catch his breath.

He remembered that the company name he saw at Bai Zhi's company was called Destiny.

Is it just a case of the same name, or is there some other misunderstanding?

He looked at the television with some suspicion, and saw a person appear on the screen wearing a company badge with a dragon head on his chest.

"This guy, isn't he the bespectacled man I saw at Baizhi Company last time? I remember he introduced himself as the business manager of the media team..."

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; Valon was shocked when he recognized the person in the picture.

He had always assumed that Bai Zhi's company, Tianming, was involved in shady businesses. After all, with Bai Zhi's immense power, it would be incredibly easy for her to engage in shady, gray, or even black market activities, and the profits would certainly be substantial.

Or perhaps it's a make-believe company built on wealth accumulated in the past.

After all, those gold coins without any patterns look like they were dug out of an ancient treasure.

But looking at it today, how come it has suddenly become a high-tech company researching biopharmaceuticals?

Doesn't this art style seem a bit off?

Thinking of this, he looked at Bai Zhi with a complicated expression, then asked in a low voice:

"Miss Baizhi, is this... real or fake?"

He had actually considered some other possibilities.

For example, this so-called cancer treatment drug is actually a front, a gimmick used to launch a Ponzi scheme.

With so many cancer patients in the world, as long as the packaging is convincing enough and some celebrities are brought in to endorse it, it is a very mature and effective way to trick those patients into donating money.

As long as the project concludes by stating at the end that the destructive effects of the therapy outweighed the curative effects, it's considered a failure.

"Of course it's true. I am a noble dragon, and I never lie."

Bai Zhi turned her head and smiled at Valon.

She was well aware of the media team's plan. Although this time it wasn't a research team but a security team and a media team, some of the basic technologies they brought could indeed be extracted.

For example, the life support system on the security team contains medications that can ensure the team's treatment of illnesses in various environments. The intelligent system even contains countless simple prescriptions.

These simple recipes were recorded so that security personnel could find materials to treat themselves after the built-in life support system failed.

These basic and simple recipes are designed to be easy to synthesize and have ingredients that are easy to find.

After all, if it's too difficult to synthesize or the ingredients are rare, then there's no point in writing it down.

The universe is so vast, and diseases are incredibly diverse. Although there are many special diseases that would never appear on Earth, most of the diseases that already exist on Earth have simple formulas for synthesis and treatment.

These formulas were extracted by the media team and then used to build the healthcare system.

As for why these drugs were approved so quickly.

There's nothing we can do; Tianming Company has a lot of money. Under the onslaught of financial resources, there will always be people who, for the sake of patients' well-being, will actively push for these drugs to pass the review process.

"Ah this..."

Hearing this familiar phrase, Valon was speechless, but compared to that guy Shendu, Bai Zhi's reputation was much stronger.

They give money as soon as they say they'll, without any hesitation, and they deliver on their promises immediately.

Therefore, he had no doubt what Bai Zhi said about the effectiveness of these medicines.

The problem now is how to ask Bai Zhi for help so that I can get involved and make some money.

Hey Baizhi, take me with you!

305 This is not funny at all.

"Hey Jackie Chan, did you see it? It's on TV."

"Dad, what's wrong? I'm busy right now. There's not much to do lately. I finally found a low-paying job, and if I don't work hard to finish it, I won't even be able to afford food."

"Stop with all that work, come and see, Bai Zhi's company is on TV."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Jackie Chan put down the pile of documents in his hand, walked to his father's side, and looked at the television.

"The Destiny Company will always strive for the well-being of mankind. Under the wise leadership of our Holy Lord Bai Zhi, we will overcome all difficulties and spread the brilliance of civilization and technology to the entire earth!"

"Cancer treatments are only the initial stage; in the future, we will develop many more drugs..."

On the television screen, the media team, impeccably dressed, calmly and confidently presented the various properties of their drugs to a large group of reporters.

"The company that produces Angelica dahurica has actually released such a drug..."

The old man's face looked rather grim.

"Isn't this great? The whole world will be happy about the cancer treatment drug."

Jackie Chan was somewhat puzzled. Although Bai Zhi's identity was indeed problematic and her stance was seriously different from theirs, she was still worthy of respect for being able to develop such a drug, regardless of her stance.

Because Angelica dahurica itself is definitely not needed; this stuff is purely beneficial to humans.

"It is indeed a good thing. If there is no shady dealing, it can really benefit many people. But Jackie Chan, have you thought about this?"

"What is it?" Jackie Chan asked, looking puzzled.

The old man sighed deeply, "If she can produce such potent drugs, what if we or other righteous people cause her trouble, and she threatens to stop giving them to us?"

"This..." Jackie Chan hesitated.

Billions of people worldwide die from cancer every year, and at least tens of millions die from it.

If they really have the ability to seal away Angelica dahurica, it would be equivalent to killing tens of millions of people every year.

The thought alone sends chills down my spine.

"This medicine is undoubtedly a miracle drug, but at the same time, it is also her protective charm."

"Faced with the overwhelming public opinion, even if the Eight Immortals were alive, they would probably find it difficult to achieve any effective results."

"Do you remember what she said? She wanted to establish a force that could absolutely suppress the whole world as a mediator and then bring peace to the world. This is probably her first step."

"So that's how it is. Dad, should we...?"

The old man shook his head. "No, she hasn't broken the law, and there's no other reason to punish her. What's the difference between us going to her door and breaking in?"

"If she calls the police, we'll all end up in jail."

"So we're just going to let her grow stronger like this? Although she seems harmless now, according to what you said, Father, she is ultimately favored by the dark energy and is a representative of darkness."
