Chapter 874: Chapter 76 Never Been Happy_2 Chapter 874: Chapter 76 Never Been Happy_2 “And then, rile them up to generate a sense of crisis, so they take turns coming to my room tonight, right?” Yan Yu said, “Then, when you come to my place, you’ll have to queue up and take a number. It won’t be your turn for three to five hours.”

“I’m going out the window now, thank you.” Anna quickly changed her mind, “Keeping our relationship a secret is probably better, goodbye~”

She blew Yan Yu a kiss and then leaped out of the window.

Yan Yu, however, slowly made his way out to attend a meeting organized by the high-level officials at the research base.

The research base’s schedule had been tentatively set: rest in the evenings, boost levels in the afternoons, and mornings for various large and small meetings. As a leader of the Cultivators, Yan Yu needed to maintain frequent and close communication with the base leaders, the representative from the Science Academy, Mei Yingxue, and the imperial envoy sent by the Privy Council.

Currently, the cultivation speed of cultivators in Lu Country at the Wudang Mountain’s Mysterious Realm is about three times the normal rate outside. This number is considered above average globally—it is indeed high enough, and secondly, it isn’t the highest, because it also takes into account safety and controllability.

In Miti’s Superhero Alliance, they haven’t organized large-scale level-up activities, but instead handed it over to various major corporations and tycoons to deal with. Some of the more aggressive tycoons, like the famous Kensington Pharmaceutical Group, have already introduced some kind of experimental special drug. It’s said that under long-term use by Transcendents, it can stably increase mana growth efficiency to about 4.1 times.

The cost, however, is a chaotic disability and fatality rate; each dose could very well mean kicking the bucket the next minute.

Lu Country’s spies have finally secured a sample of this drug through extremely complex and secret channels and handed it over to the Academy of Sciences for reverse analysis. Teacher Mei is in charge of the reverse engineering, but she isn’t very knowledgeable about Western alchemy systems, so she came to seek Yan Yu’s advice.

Yan Yu in his past life hadn’t had much contact with alchemy, but fortunately, he knew someone who definitely would, so he called Anna to the meeting.

“This isn’t alchemy.” Anna cast a few identification spells on the drug sample and said in surprise, “To be precise, this should be Voodoo.”

“Voodoo?” Mei Yingxue frowned, “The voodoo practitioners from Haiti?”

“Yeah,” Anna said, “The Transcendent systems of Central America are also famous for Curses and Black Magic.”

“So, the dangers of this drug cannot be removed?” Mei Yingxue immediately realized that if it involved curses and black magic, then the costs of using such drug were bound to be extremely troublesome.

“That’s hard to say.” Anna shook her head, “This stuff should be a product of blood sacrifice, requiring a large amount of freshly harvested souls. Not to mention side effects, I estimate such an Elixir Medicine would require blood sacrifices of nearly ten thousand people, can you manage that?”

The answer, of course, is no. After all, Lu Country is a secular regime; who would dare to create such a shocking and outrageous precedent unless they face a catastrophic situation?

Mei Yingxue silently packed away the drug, planning to confirm with specialists and scholars proficient in the Central American system at the Science Academy, only to hear Yan Yu asking:

“Do we have any new products in Elixir Medicines? Everyone has reached the Hua Fu Stage now, and the Foundation Establishment Pills are a bit weak. We’re already cultivating in the Golden Core Stage Mysterious Realm, can we get some Elixir Medicine suitable for Golden Core Masters to aid cultivation?”

Mei Yingxue gave him a silent look, her gaze filled with astonishment.

More precisely, it seemed to mean, “We can’t even beat the Golden Core Stage Mysterious Realm, where would we get Elixir Medicine suitable for Golden Core Masters to eat?”

“Give it a try, Teacher Mei,” Yan Yu joked, “Since we’re determined to level up at any cost, how can we do it without taking some risks?”

“I got it,” Mei Yingxue nodded, “I’ll find a way.”

Eh, she took me seriously?

After Mei Yingxue left, Anna complained to Yan Yu:

“This woman can’t take a joke; it’s better if you tease her less.”

I’m right here, why don’t you tease me?

“It’s fine,” Yan Yu dismissed it with a wave of his hand, “She can’t do anything. You’ve seen the Wudang Mountain Mysterious Realm; even I can’t beat it. What can she do? It’s just to let them know when reporting to the higher-ups that it’s not because we’re not working hard on our cultivation, but we’ve hit a snag because of the Elixir Medicine… It’s essential to manage the expectations of the leaders, better safe than sorry, better safe than sorry.”

While he said ‘better safe than sorry’, Anna thought it was unnecessary. After all, given Yan Yu’s current status, she didn’t believe anyone in Lu Country would dare to be dissatisfied with him.

The daily Breathing and Energy Refining work continued. As proficiency deepened, the teams of Sword Immortals also gradually adapted to the rhythm of the True Martial Demonic Subduing Formation, trying to attract the formation’s firepower to single-handedly assist their teams in energetically Breathing Exercises.

Yan Yu and Liu Longtao, as the last resort, were also gradually getting more relaxed in their work, even having time to sit and chat leisurely.

“Speaking of which, Old Yan,” Lord Master looked at the distant formation of Sword Qi and casually asked, “Did you have a fight with Ye Jun recently?”

“What’s going on?”

“She seems to have lost her soul.” Liu Longtao said, “Sometimes, when I talk to her, she’s totally unresponsive. I asked her three times, and all I got was an ‘Ah?’ with a completely clueless expression.”

“She’s probably too anxious.” Yan Yu couldn’t say “because her Primordial Yin is reserved by me”, so he made up an excuse, “I mean, look, her strong suit is defense, yet when facing this kind of True Martial Demonic Subduing Formation, she can’t defend, wouldn’t you be anxious too?”
