Chapter 859 - 455: The Prince’s Enterprise

Chapter 859: Chapter 455: The Prince’s Enterprise

The daytime of the present world corresponds to the night of the dream realm.

In this pitch-black dream realm, Wang Chonghui and his master, with their eyes glowing, looked towards the blood pool.

In that blood water, chunks of blood were floating, rising and sinking.

And on those chunks, Gu insects were crawling, drilling in and out.

"Master, this time, will it work?"

The Ancient Immortal remained silent, just staring intently at the blood pool.

Gu insects gathered on the surface of the blood, starting to secrete tiny blood-red crystals.

Then they grabbed the crystals, busily using them to begin constructing in the blood pool.

They bonded these crystals together, gradually forming threads, weaving them into surfaces, layer by layer, slowly forming a tower-like insect nest.

Wang Chonghui swallowed his saliva, glancing around at the tower’s prototype.

"This time used thousands of pounds of human blood, not cheap at all, better not fail..."

The Ancient Immortal spoke to himself.

"This Blood Crystal Pagoda Gu, as long as it gets enough human blood, it will follow the memory in the bloodline to attempt to build the pagoda insect nest.

"If this Blood Crystal Pagoda insect nest can be finally constructed, it will be the strongest Gu raising facility below Sequence Five!

"All your Gu insects can be sent to this Blood Crystal Pagoda insect nest for advancement, gaining stronger power!

"Of course, the effectiveness of this insect nest is terrifying, as is its complexity.

"Even with bloodline memory, the Pagoda Gu insects cannot guarantee success.

"This time, it looks quite hopeful..."

Wang Chonghui leaned forward, staring at the increasingly taller Blood Crystal Pagoda.

"Yes, master, I feel it too.

"The pagoda has already been built to the sixth layer... the sixth layer is being capped... starting to build the seventh layer..."

Once this insect nest is completed and all his Gu insects are strengthened, he could go back to Sichun, couldn’t he?

To find that Sichun boss and settle the old score!

The Ancient Immortal’s sight was drawn to the Blood Crystal Pagoda.

"I hope it succeeds.

"Once it succeeds, this insect nest will be considered a business.

"Actually, recently, I figured something out.

"Prince Snake Elephant, Prince Bai Bao, these fallen princes, have only recently become active.

"Their disciples are in Sequence Seven, Sequence Six, with quite high realms.

"Then where does the material needed for their disciples’ promotion come from?

"I suspect... Immortals of the prince level, in their dream realms, most likely, have their own businesses!

"They don’t really need to search for anything in the present world.

"The materials needed for disciple promotions, they can produce themself!

"Once this insect nest is built, we will have our own business too..."

Wang Chonghui also smiled and nodded.

Master and apprentice, full of anticipation, watched the tower start constructing the eighth layer!

"Almost... almost..."

While they were marveling, they heard a crisp "crack" sound. Cracks appeared in the Blood Crystal Tower, starting from the eighth layer being built, extending down to the sixth layer, and continuing to grow, all the way to the fifth, fourth layer...

The master and apprentice’s faces turned ashen.

Sure enough, in the next moment.

With a crash...

The Blood Crystal Tower shattered and collapsed, fragments flying, Blood Crystal pieces filled the pool.

...

"Industry, of course, is a good thing.

"If a business can be established, it can continuously bring you benefits.

"But starting and maintaining a business is difficult!

"Especially in this dream realm, in this Immortal Realm wasteland, with ruins everywhere! And manpower is insufficient!

"Sigh..."

At the gate of the grand hall, on the stone steps.

Prince Snake Elephant, with his hands behind his back, was explaining to his disciples behind him.

"It’s not easy for us to have such a business.

"Everyone must cherish it, and everyone must be diligent and maintain it well."

Several disciples nodded in agreement.

Below the stone steps, everyone faced the vast, boundless ancient battlefield!

Millions of years have passed, and the soil once soaked in blood is still dark red!

Skeletons were still wearing decaying Copper Armor!

And swords and swords were broken, partly buried in the earth!

Broken chariots lost their wheels, some tipped over, some overturned!

Ferocious sword marks crisscrossed, slicing apart this land!

Tread!

Tread!

Tread!

A squad of Copper Armor puppets, marching neatly, came from the depths of the battlefield, ascended the steps, passing by Prince and others.

They wore Copper Armor, and inside the armor were skeletons or mummies!

They have been dead for millions of years, and now they can still move, all driven by the Martial Dao Will!

They carried various decayed Copper Armors and weapons from the battlefield remains into the palace, heading towards the workshop.

Some remnants of armor and weapons from the battlefield were still in good condition, could be refined, and used again.

Some were already broken, decayed, rotted with holes, unusable.

Yet they were imbued with powerful and frenzied Martial Dao Will!

The workshop of Prince Snake Elephant was to extract this Martial Dao Will!

Extracted Martial Dao Will could produce more Copper Armor puppets.

Having more puppets could reclaim more battlefield remains.

Having battlefield remains could extract more Martial Dao Will.

It’s like a chicken can lay an egg, and an egg can give birth to a chicken, repeating in cycles!

Even the Copper Armor puppets increasing in numbers, the industry growing larger!

Tread!

Tread!

Tread!

Another squad of Copper Armor puppets, carrying collected remains, stepped heavily up the stairs, heading to the depths of the palace.

"Hmm?"

The Prince suddenly stopped one of the puppets, picked up a dead bird carcass from its arms.

This bird had been dead for millions of years, yet its flesh hadn’t decayed, though it had lost many feathers, looking balding, not a great appearance.

The Prince held the dead bird, looking left and right, touching it with his hand.

"Well, this one looks pretty good in quality.

"Take it and infuse more Martial Dao Will into it.

"The previous Blood Cloud Seagull was taken out by the West State Boss.

"It’s inconvenient not to have even one of these around.

"Let’s use this dried corpse and make another one!"

...

Swipe...

A square little car sped along the rugged path of Fox Mountain.

White Earrings sat in the front seat, driving while grinning from ear to ear!

"Yingyingying!"

Master said, today we will officially start the first production line of the Elixir Skin Workshop!

Bai Mo sat in the back compartment, holding a tablet, confirming his thought process once more.

"There shouldn’t be any problems.

"This Elixir Skin production line, as troublesome as it is, doesn’t actually have too many chaotic changes, making it relatively easy to control."

After confirming, he pondered for a moment and nodded.

While he still had some free time, he went to the folder on his tablet, found some prescriptions he had dug out from the bizarre treasure trove in the present world, and took another look, but still felt peculiar.

"These prescriptions are all concocting poisons.

"But... what’s the point?

"Fox Mountain’s warehouse has plenty of similar poisons.

"Even more toxic and vicious ones!

"Why is the Prince so keen on this stuff, what’s the meaning behind it all?"

Bai Mo couldn’t quite understand.

"Never mind, let’s worry about getting the Elixir Skin Workshop sorted first."

...

Whoo...

A fierce wind blew, yellow sand rolling forth.

The Elixir Skin Workshop was situated in a pit, with a roof added, preventing it from being blown by the wind and shielding it from the sand.

Near each facility were planted Pixel Banana Leaves.

The yellow-green pixel dots on the banana leaves were playing animations in a loop.

In some animations, fox ears were pressed against facilities, listening to sounds.

In others, fox claws held down the facility surface, feeling vibrations.

"Yingyingying..."

Guo Kezhao squatted under a huge banana leaf, craning his neck, sometimes watching the animation, sometimes the facilities.

This seems... really complicated, doesn’t it?

Just this one Return Dragon Valve involved various judgments and operations, playing an animation for half an hour without finishing.

The more Guo Kezhao watched, the more uneasy he felt, subconsciously raising his two front paws to cover his chubby head.

"Ow?"

A short distance away, Night Cat’s Eye was also squatting under a banana leaf, eyes spinning in circles as it watched the animation on the leaf.

This is only checking the equipment and overseeing the production process, and it’s already so troublesome?

It couldn’t remember any of it!

Even further away, Mianmian Fruit was also squatting under a banana leaf, looking up at the scene.

"Ow?"

The more it watched, the more it doubted its life as a fox!

So far, under these single and double-layered Bronze Slots alone, the animation had shown dozens of different operations!

Is such a complex thing really meant for it?

At the production line entrance, Sugar Beans was also looking up at the animation on the leaf.

"Ying?"

It drooped its ears, pretty much convinced by now that this wasn’t a job it could handle.

Refining Elixir Skin was such a complicated task, it couldn’t manage it... after all, it was just a fox.

Swipe...

Just then, a square little car stopped outside the workshop.

Wearing a windbreaker, Bai Mo, along with White Earrings, descended into the pit and entered the workshop.

He casually picked up the Sugar Beans on the roadside, patting its chubby belly.

"How about it?

"With the Pixel Banana Leaves, isn’t it a lot clearer?

"Why the long face still?

"What are you afraid of?

"The production line isn’t fully installed yet. ℯ𝐥.𝒄ℴ𝓶

"There’s still the last step to finish.

"This part is a bit tricky, so I need to handle it personally."

Bai Mo took a handful of seeds from his pocket, blowing them away with his Divine Sense like the wind, delivering them to the base of each facility to take root.

"These are the important sensors of the production line."

Then each seed sprouted Vine Silks, which grew, branched, wound around, and coiled, climbing up the surfaces of the facilities, adding a touch of life to the cold, hard Bronze Artifacts.

"They can sense the temperature, vibrations of the facilities, and understand the sounds of water flow inside to determine the water level."

Vine Silks then extended into the facilities, some thrusting tender sprouts into the water troughs, others drilling their tendrils deep into the valves.

"To a certain extent, they can also sense the components of the elixir inside the facilities."

Guo Kezhao, Night Cat’s Eye, Mianmian Fruit all ran out following the commotion!

"Yingyingying?"

"Owowow?"

They saw these Vine Silks even spiraled upwards, adorning the highest points with black eyeballs!

"These are antennas; they’re the devices that send signals to the control room."

All four foxes began to realize that things weren’t quite as they had imagined.

Can Elixir Skin refinement really employ plant surveillance and control via a control room?

Then what’s the point of them being in the workshop?

Then they heard the Master speak.

"Your job is to continuously patrol the workshop.

"Most of the time, you probably won’t be needed.

"The patterns displayed on the Pixel Banana Leaves depict exactly this!"

They looked up, seeing yellow-green pixel dots on the banana leaves creating a smiley face.

"If you need to do something, the banana leaves will show you.

"For example, turning the valves, stirring, secondary checks, or perhaps..."

On the banana leaves, a pattern of a fox wagging its tail and running appeared!

"When this pattern appears, it means you need to immediately go up the mountain and find the Master!"
