Chapter 503 The era of spiritual revival belongs to me
Jiang Luo's words caused everyone to think deeply. Liu Tongan frowned and said, "These people are really unscrupulous for the sake of profit. The existence of spirit beasts and demon beasts is beyond the cognition of ordinary people. They actually want to use these creatures for experiments. It's crazy."
Lu Qing looked coldly at the man in black on the ground, the ice sword still hanging in front of the man's throat: "Do you know what you are doing? The power of spirit beasts and demon beasts is not something that mortals can control. Forced intervention will only bring disaster."
The man in black trembled and said, "We... we just took the money to do the work, and we really don't know anything else! The people from Sanren Biotechnology said that as long as we can catch the spirit beast, they can research a drug that will change the fate of mankind... We didn't know the consequences would be so serious..."
Jiang Luo sighed and shook his head: "Greed and ignorance are often the most dangerous combination. You people are willing to sacrifice your lives for money. The consequence of forcibly transforming humans into monsters is a large biological offensive weapon, but what is the use of this thing? Don't we have enough thermal weapons now? Wait... Is their ultimate goal actually a spiritual beast?"
At this moment, the Pixiu suddenly let out a low roar. Jiang Luo turned around and found that the three-eyed demon leopard was dying, but it was still using its last strength to protect the white tiger cub.
Jiang Luo's heart softened, he walked forward and gently stroked the head of the three-eyed demon leopard: "You have tried your best, don't worry, we will protect it."
The three-eyed demon leopard seemed to understand Jiang Luo's words. It slowly closed its eyes, its breath gradually became weaker, and finally it stopped breathing.
Jiang Luo was silent for a moment, then stood up and said to Lu Qing and Liu Tongan, "We must leave here as soon as possible. People from Sanren Biotechnology may send more people. The white tiger cub's injuries need to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger."
Lu Qing snorted coldly: "Those people are nothing. I can easily crush them to death. They are just a bunch of ants!"
Jiang Luo said: "It's not to hide from them, but to avoid alerting the enemy."
Liu Tongan looked at the black-clad men on the ground, pinched his chin and nodded, "Indeed, they are just executors. If we want to find the mastermind behind the scenes, we must find the Sanren Biotechnology they mentioned. Let our people do this! Our people will do their best to search for them!"
Jiang Luo nodded: "It is indeed more convenient to leave it to you. It is best to find out their purpose and see if there are other similar organizations."
Liu Tongan responded: "Don't worry, this is also our duty. Besides, there are lives lost here, and the higher-ups will definitely not let them go."
Jiang Luo nodded, and the three of them quickly left the abandoned factory, taking the white tiger cub and the Pixiu, and drove in the flying carriage towards Nanchun Mountain.
Along the way, Jiang Luo held the white tiger cub carefully, fearing that its injuries would worsen.
Liu Tongan also opened his eyes. He looked at the scene in the carriage curiously and asked Jiang Luo in a low voice: "Um, Master...is this carriage of yours a divine weapon?"
Jiang Luo, still holding the little white tiger in his arms, responded, "Really? You have to ask Lu Qing about this."
Lu Qing was sitting aside drinking tea. The carriage did not feel bumpy at all. It was just like riding a high-speed train, so stable that it seemed as if it was not moving.
He sipped his tea calmly, and said, "It is indeed an ancient artifact. The carriage is made of ancient sacred wood, and the axle is the leftover material from making the Dinghai Shenzhen. The spiritual stones on it are what Nuwa left when she repaired the sky. They were pieced together to make a domestic vehicle."
Jiang Luo: ...Okay, okay, I know you are amazing. Any of your materials is amazing.
He casually pulled the curtains again and said, "Jiao Xiao, the softest and most comfortable fabric in the world."
Liu Tongan had never been so cautious in his life. He was a rough man and a former special forces soldier. Looking at the two masters in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "Oh... So those ancient myths are true?"
Lu Qing chuckled, "It's both true and false. It's true that there was such a thing, but it's not so exaggerated. For example, when Nuwa repaired the sky, the sky was originally a clear blue sky, so where did the spirit stone repair it? In fact, the spirit energy leaked and dispersed. In order to prevent the world from entering the Dharma Ending Age prematurely, Nuwa personally refined spirit stones to repair the loophole."
This was also the first time that Jiang Luo heard the new version of this story, and he probably learned a lot from it.
After returning to Nanchun Mountain, Jiang Luo immediately asked Xia Kucao to treat the white tiger cub's wound. Xia Kucao took out some special medicinal herbs and gently applied them on the cub's wound.
Although the white tiger cub was weak, it gradually calmed down under Jiang Luo's care, and its breathing became much steadier.
Lu Qing stood aside, watching Jiang Luo's busy figure, and suddenly said: "Jiang Luo, have you ever thought about why the people of Sanren Biotechnology are suddenly interested in spirit beasts? Is there a bigger force behind them?"
Jiang Luo paused for a moment and looked up at Lu Qing: "You mean, they might be related to some practitioners or cults? But, we have already eradicated the largest cult, the Lord God Cult, so what other cults could there be?"
Lu Qing nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Ordinary people have no way of knowing the existence of spirit beasts and demon beasts, let alone wanting to capture them for research. Sanren Biotechnology's actions are too precise, and it is obvious that someone is behind the scenes directing them. I always feel that their actions are somewhat familiar..."
Liu Tongan also agreed: "That's right, this matter is not that simple. We have to be careful and not alert the enemy."
Jiang Luo pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It seems that we have to make a long-term plan. Since Sanren Biotechnology dares to attack spiritual beasts, it means that they must have powerful supporters behind them. We must first figure out their purpose before we can take the next step."
Lu Qing sneered: "No matter who is behind them, if they dare to attack the spirit beasts, they are courting death."
Jiang Luo nodded: "No matter what, we can't let them succeed. The existence of spirit beasts and demon beasts is the result of the revival of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their fate should not be controlled by humans. However, there is one thing we can't ignore. The revival of spiritual energy makes human cultivation imminent. We have to guide them correctly, otherwise it will be very easy for people with ulterior motives to take advantage of them."
Lu Qing also nodded, but Liu Tongan was the only one who had only a vague understanding. The main reason was that the revival of spiritual energy was too sudden, which shattered their original understanding of the worldview.
At this moment, the white tiger cub suddenly let out a faint whimper and slowly opened its eyes. There was a golden light flashing in its pupils, as if it contained endless power.
Jiang Luo gently stroked its head and said softly, "Don't worry, little one, we will protect you."
The white tiger cub seemed to understand Jiang Luo's words. It rubbed his hand gently, then closed its eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Liu Tongan looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing, the spirit beast is really extraordinary. We have to find other spirit beasts as soon as possible and can't let them fall into the hands of those people."
Jiang Luo nodded: "Yes, the sensing ability of the Pixiu may help us find the whereabouts of other spirit beasts. But before that, we must ensure the safety of the white tiger cub. Let's send it to my sister to raise first! My sister must have gained experience in raising spirit beasts."
The flow of time in the Nine-Layered Torrent Tower is different from that outside. They have only been outside for a few days, but it should have been at least two months for Jinghuang.
Lu Qing looked out the window and saw that it was getting dark. "Alright! Let's rest tonight and take action tomorrow. The people from Sanren Biotech will not give up easily. We have to be prepared. Let's go! Let's go to Chunying Garden and hand the little white tiger over to my sister."
Jiang Luo and Liu Tongan nodded in agreement. Jiang Luo said, "Mr. Xia, please arrange a room for Captain An. We will go to Chunying Garden first."
Prunella Vulgaris responded, "Okay, this way please! Captain Liu."
Liu Tongan was a little reluctant to leave. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Well, three masters, can I also go with you to see your spirit beast garden?"
Jiang Luo and Lu Qing looked at each other, and Jiang Luo said, "It's not impossible, but for the sake of my sister's safety, we will give you a contract symbol. If you agree, we will take you in to have a look."
Liu Tongan asked curiously: "Oh? What contract symbol?"
Jiang Luo said: "It's a confidentiality agreement. You just have to promise not to tell anyone what you see and hear after entering Chunying Garden."
When Liu Tongan heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "That's good, I agree!"
Jiang Luo took out a talisman, burned it, and said, "That's good. Captain Liu, come with us!"
The three of them went to the Spring Cherry Garden together. As soon as they entered the Spring Cherry Garden, Liu Tongan was fascinated by the beautiful scenery there. He asked, "Is this the Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms?"
Jiang Luo chuckled: "It's not peach blossom, it's cherry blossom, spring cherry blossom. That is, Chinese cherry blossom!"
Since most Chinese cherry blossoms have single petals, they are often mistaken for peach blossoms, but in fact they are very different.
Entering the Spring Cherry Garden means entering the Nine-story Torrent Tower. As Jiang Luo approached, he heard the whimpering of a spirit beast. It was the golden spirit beast that was sent last time.
From a distance, they saw Jinghuang playing with Xiaojin. It chased Jinghuang like a puppy. Jinghuang would occasionally ask it to sit, stand, jump, and even bow to say hello.
Jiang Luo was helpless, wondering if his sister really treated the spirit beast as a dog?
At the same time, in a remote corner of a city, in a top-floor office of a tall building, a middle-aged man in a black suit was standing in front of the window, overlooking the night view of the city. He held a glass of red wine in his hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Jiang Luo... Lu Qing... do you think you can stop me?" He whispered to himself, "The power of the spirit beast will eventually belong to me."
He turned around and said to the shadow behind him: "Keep going. Capture the white tiger cub at all costs."
A deep voice came from the shadows: "Yes, boss."
The middle-aged man raised his glass and took a sip. A greedy light flashed in his eyes. "The era of spiritual energy revival belongs to me. Jiang Luo, do you think you have won? I will never let you succeed!"
