Chapter 421: Chapter 418 Sage Wu Buys Shares

A black and white jade book leaped out from the Mud Ball Palace.

Rustle rustle...

Then it quickly flipped on its own to the page that bore the biography of Nie Renxiong, and projected a virtual figure resembling a bear.

The "Small Book of Life and Death," once transformed into Wang Yuan’s lifebound Magic Treasure, had greatly enhanced in both convenience and intelligence.

Any minor movement would be known to him at once, ensuring that the muddled situation within the "One Day Prison Heavenly Array" would not recur.

Besides the three newly added powers: the Evil Spirits, Hundred Ghosts Netherworld Cave, and Red Pen Decision.

The most important thing was that it allowed Wang Yuan to manage his ghost officials more easily.

He could now protect a speck of their "True Spirit," so that even if their Ghost Bodies shattered, they could be reassembled immediately through an intangible connection.

At most, it would just mean starting over from the stage prior to "Refining Form."

He could also grant subsidiary authorities, giving each of the ghost officials under him a sub-book straddling the line between reality and illusion to assist in law enforcement and establish an internal communication network.

This allowed King Yanluo to implement a flat management system for his ghost officials instead of a bloated and inefficient pyramid structure.

It seemed to already have a trace of the divine charm of the Nine Soldiers’ core treasure, the "Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net."

The organizational principle of the "Earthly Que Golden Book" had finally found the correct way to be unlocked.

"Old Master, something terrible has happened in Yizhou Prefecture! We..."

The first words out of Nie Renxiong’s mouth made Wang Yuan’s previous contented expression vanish in an instant.

Then bit by bit, his face took on a frost.

After a long pause,

"Continue to observe the ’Demon Master Dao,’ and that unidentified ’Underground Master.’ Do not expose yourselves, and stay alert," he instructed them before ending the communication, no longer having any mood to appreciate the mermaids at play and suddenly leaping up from the beach.

In his deep azure eyes, a cold and relentless light flickered incessantly.

"Demon Master Dao, Yin God Shrine, and the Underground Master! Perhaps they themselves may not have the intention, but fundamentally, they are clearly trying to cut off Old Master Wang’s roots!"

The higher the cultivation realm in the "Earthly Que Golden Book," the higher the requirements became for organizational knowledge, that is, for managing his ghost officials and ghost generals below him.

The six ghost officials stationed at the Five Senses Altar City were only his most essential foundation for Daoist Skill, which was still far from the minimum standards of a collective force.

Originally, Wang Yuan had a very clear plan in mind.

If he could only subdue the massive City God System rooted in the Yang World, which the Great Yan Dynasty had accumulated over three hundred years of excellent ghost heroes, it would be enough to satisfy the prerequisites for advancing to Green Seal completely.

Even if those not yet completely eroded by Dragon Energy were only a small part of it.

Spending a year or so to slowly subdue and select from them was entirely acceptable.

But now, the audacious "Demon Master Dao" actually wanted to refine these reserved ghost officials into "Ghost Medicine" that would allow their souls to transform from human to demon?

How could he possibly tolerate this?

Forced to the brink, Wang Yuan had no room to retreat.

An unrelenting enemy blocking his path, and it was an irreconcilable feud.

"Also, there’s one crucial question: who is the venerated ’Underground Master’ that is being worshipped by ’Demon Master Dao’?

Why can a mere shrine and divine box exert such a powerful restraining force on ghosts and even on ghost officials and City Gods?

The most puzzling part is, whether it’s the intelligence from ’Nine Soldiers’ or ’Cloud Tower Ghost Market,’ there seems to be absolutely no description of them.

It’s as if they sprang out of a crack in a rock.

In the several hundred years that ’Demon Master Dao’ has been secluded on the Moluo Islands, could it be that something unknown to outsiders has happened?"

Suddenly, Wang Yuan found himself peering into a dense fog, fraught with doubts.

He couldn’t help but carefully review the confessions of the captured "Demon Master Dao" members again.

Unfortunately, even though the captured Red Seal Mages had already spilled all secrets of their ancestors, not a trace of information about the Yin God Shrine or the Underground Master could be found.

Only the Secret Medicine that the Taoist Sect provided for their soul transformation was known as "Ghost Medicine."

Yet, nobody knew that the raw materials for this "Ghost Medicine" actually came from a bit of the True Spirit of various ghosts, and even ghost officials and City Gods.

"Only when those Weird ones hold a ’Killing Banquet,’ planning to brew a cup of Immortality Wine from ’human Five Grains,’ do they also refine the True Spirit along with it.

But they have already been hung on the Killing Tree and are naturally the mortal enemies of our Heavenly Dao.

But the foundational roots of ’Demon Master Dao,’ a cult from the Side Door, are under the Heavenly Gate.

Madmen, they’re all madmen!

In the face of a major calamity, retribution for their deeds will ensure their situation is more difficult than the Great Yan’s million-strong Imperial Family!"

Apart from "madmen," Wang Yuan could not think of a more fitting adjective.

However, he did not panic and rush to return to Yu State immediately to mitigate damages.

Today’s King Yanluo was no longer the unknown underdog without roots, frantically competing against others, worried that being a step behind meant staying behind, rushing around daily as if racing to reincarnate.

He now had the confidence to calmly gather intelligence, call for allies, and encircle them from all sides - a group against him alone!

And since that "Underground Master" clearly had a restrictive effect on the Ghost Path, of course, the more help he got from other practices, the better.

Suddenly.

Wang Yuan sensed that the Red Snake Coiling Seal Formation around Dushuo Mountain had been triggered. Seeing who the visitor was, his expression relaxed slightly.

"You’ve returned at just the right time."

The figure flashed and was already at the peak of the main mountain, within the [Dragon Tower Phoenix Pavilion], constructed with powerful and majestic Daoist skill.

Immediately, a streak of green escape light passed through the heavily guarded layers of formations on the island, landing in the grand and magnificent reception room.

It revealed the figure of [Emperor Bao Sheng], Sage Wu.

More precisely, it was one of his divine transformation realm incarnations.

Since the chaos erupted in Red County Shenzhou, all sorts of demons and monsters like the "Demon Master Dao" had popped up in droves, scattered all over the land.

The manpower of [Nine Soldiers] naturally became increasingly stretched thin.

All of the mobilizable [Immortal Officials] had been dispatched.

Had not Wang Yuan taken the initiative to take on all defense duties of the four states surrounding Dengzhou Prefecture, there would have been no chance for him to find reprieve here.

And Sage Wu had been away for over half a month, drafted into cleaning up the aftermath in Yunjing City.

Child rhymes sang, "If one cannot be slain, the Plague Spreader follows behind."

No sooner had Wang Yuan and his group left than a plague broke out on their heels. Even with the abilities of a Green Seal Sage, he had been busy up until now, only just managing to rush back in a hurry.

All for the sake of that big project mentioned by Wang Yuan, which could give him the opportunity to ascend to [Corpse Dissection Immortal].

In this stretch of time, he was almost to the point of losing sleep over it, unable to eat or drink.

Without waiting for host and guest to sit, Sage Wu grabbed Wang Yuan’s arm in urgency and said,

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, Taibai, you really have caused me so much suffering!

I had just successfully reincarnated when I was assigned a task by my own [God of Good and Evil Department]’s [Victorious Fighting King].

Do you know what it feels like to endure the agony of waiting for days on end after hearing ’please stay tuned for the next part’?

If you don’t make it clear today, I swear I will set my roots right here!"

After all, this Old Luobo only had the cultivation of the [Inner Scene] realm, and even under non-combat conditions, he could only create one such divine transformation realm incarnation.

That he had managed to persist until now also reflected his amazing determination.

By this point, Wang Yuan had already reined in his fluctuating emotions upon suddenly hearing about a Daoist enemy.

Faced with Sage Wu’s pressing questions, he didn’t play coy anymore, promptly handing over a thread-bound book he had copied in advance.

"This is what..."

Sage Wu had only flipped open to the first page when he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock.

This book was none other than the Unverified Doctor Manual, which belonged to the trio of mythical books including the one on agricultural research he had given to Qingyan and the Military Training Manual for Militiamen given to Zhou Jinhuan.

Its contents ranged from Chinese medicine acupuncture techniques to diagnosis by observation, smell, questioning, and pulse-taking, to the hands-on practice of surgeries from modern medicine—all were encompassed within.

Surgery, internal medicine, gynecology, otolaryngology, pediatrics, dermatology... you name it, it had it.

Of course.

Each book he sent out was incomplete, with even the most complete one missing over half its content.

After all, even if Wang Yuan had grown to his current cultivation of the [Earth Essence] realm, he could easily recall any piece of knowledge he had once glanced at.

It was also impossible for him to have comprehensively read every single page of every book he had ever encountered.

But an incomplete book was no problem at all.

Even with just a rough framework, it was enough to open up a whole new colorful world in the mind of Sage Wu, who was also the [Emperor Bao Sheng].

With this starting point,

all that was needed thereafter was a massive amount of experimental data from this Divine Deceit World, combined with the reorganization by a master of medicine.

That would be sufficient to allow modern medicine to shine brightly in this Divine Deceit World.

Realizing a beautiful future that slipped through the grasp of the "Demon Master Dao"!

"I must complete it!

This is my future path!"

Looking at Sage Wu, his face mixing surprise with regret and clearly perceiving the flaws in the book,

Wang Yuan came in with a timely comment:

"Sage, I’ve heard that the ’Demon Master Dao’ hiding away on the Moluo islands actually possesses human experimental data that has been accumulating for at least a thousand years.

That blood-soaked knowledge came at the cost of countless human lives."

Upon hearing this, Old Luobo’s eyes suddenly lit up, brightening the entire reception room,

while he said righteously indignant:

"Utterly heartless! These demons conducting experiments on live subjects are simply devoid of conscience.

I will ensure their eradication and confiscate all of their experimental data, thoroughly denouncing it line by line!"

Old Master Wang smiled in agreement.

Another ally successfully enlisted!

Dispensing with useless talk of love and justice, the most solid alliances are those based on mutual interest.

And if a shared grandiose vision can be added to the mix, then that would be utter perfection.

Just like this moment, a perfect win-win situation!
