...
The special dicine provided by the Iron Guard is really impressive!
After applying the dicine, Lu Xun can feel every wound on his body, with cells rapidly repairing.
Coupled with his formidable life force, it might just take five or six hours to completely heal.
"Do you have much of this dicine left?" Lu Xun asked.
"Lots! How many bottles do you want?" Zhang Xinghai was very straightforward, showing no hesitation.
"Half a bottle will be enough."
Lu Xun mainly wanted to get so to give to Li Xiaoning.
This way, he could end his "caregiver" career early!
"Here."
Zhang Xinghai handed over the dicine.
Lu Xun took it and snapped his fingers gently.
Then, a phantom hand of an evil spirit reached out from the void, took the dicine back.
"Ah, this..."
Zhang Xinghai was stunned.
He hadn’t activated the Spiritual Body Recognition System, so from his perspective, the bottle of dicine flew up by itself and then vanished into thin air.
Superpower?
Or magic?
Forget it, that’s their secret.
Zhang Xinghai suppressed his curiosity and asked, "My na is Zhang Xinghai, earlier I was in a rush, and didn’t have ti to introduce myself, may I ask what to call you, brother?"
"Just call War Ghost." Lu Xun casually crafted a pseudonym on the spot.
War Ghost... real na?
There really seems to be an ancient surna "War".
But why do you have the sa na as my spine? Zhang Xinghai felt a bit suspicious, but didn’t dwell on it.
"Thanks for earlier, Brother Zhan." He looked sincerely, "Thanks to your help, I was able to kill Xu Tanqing and avenge this great grudge!"
"You’re welco." Lu Xun waved his hand indifferently.
He didn’t do it to help Zhang Xinghai; he had his revenge to settle too.
However, Xu Tanqing may be dead, but this account is far from settled!
Those who embezzled his parents’ compensation and blackmailed his uncle’s compensation weren’t just Xu Tanqing... nor only the Xu Family!
None of these enemies can escape, they must all pay the price!
Originally, Lu Xun intended to gradually settle with the Xu Family, as they were a massive entity in Jinghai City, not easy to deal with.
But things took a turn!
The enemy revealed a fatal flaw, which he seized.
Smuggling elves!
This cri alone was enough to execute the entire Xu Family, leaving none alive!
"What do you plan to do with that footage?" Lu Xun asked Zhang Xinghai.
The other party frowned, thought for a few seconds, then shook his head:
"Not much use, rely this footage won’t bring down the Xu Family."
"How can it be useless?" Lu Xun was skeptical, "That’s real footage, not fake. Plus these two pieces of evidence..."
Snap!
He snapped his fingers, the River of Souls surged, a small summoning array sketched out in the void, a hand reached out.
Tiezhu handed all two docunts to Lu Xun.
"The Dark Dagger Plan, and embezzling victim compensation for 58 years." Lu Xun tossed the docunts on the table, telling Zhang Xinghai: "Plus trafficking elves, combined cris, can definitely destroy Xu Family easily."
"Give these evidences to the 0C AI, or the old Speaker, or the City Lord, or even Xu Family’s political enemies."
"The evidence is overwhelming, they will surely be brought to justice!"
"Even if Xu Family dominates Jinghai City, we can report to the higher-ups in the Human Federation Council!"
The city council can only manage one Self-looping City.
But the Human Federation Council manages all Self-looping Cities worldwide!
Xu Family may be influential in the Second-level Self-looping City, but to the real rulers of the Human Federation, they are just a fly... squashed with a slap!
"... Brother Zhan, I hope more than you that the Xu Family is destroyed, but trust , all these thods you thought of, I have tried them before... They are useless!"
Zhang Xinghai clenched his fists, suppressing his fury, gritting his teeth: "Those scum bastards understand the rules of the ga better than we do, and are more skilled in manipulating them."
Lu Xun couldn’t help frowning.
Indeed, Zhang Xinghai has been persecuted by the Xu Family to such a miserable state, he must have tried many approaches, but evidently, the Xu Family, as a family with nine generations, is not that easy to deal with.
He pondered, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked: "What if we use Xu Tanqing’s brain as evidence? Isn’t there a mory extractor?"
Zhang Xinghai shook his head: "The Xu Family, including the Xu Family’s household servants, have all implanted ’mory Protection Chips’ in their brains, as soon as a person dies, all brain tissue is dissolved at high temperature."
In fact, many high-ranking officials of the Human Federation have implanted this kind of "mory Protection Chip".
To prevent being killed, having their brains extracted and mories stolen by enemies, which would steal the military and political secrets of the Human Federation.
Even Zhang Xinghai himself had implanted one.
Because he used to be a special elite in the Iron Guard, knowing many military secrets.
After all this discussion, they still only had the footage.
The footage only showed "soone smuggling elves", but couldn’t conclusively prove it was done by the Xu Family, or even prove it happened in Jinghai City!
Even if reporting helps, the Human Federation sends soone to Jinghai for an investigation, the Xu Family wouldn’t need to prove their innocence, they just need to delay!
Delay ti!
The big shots on the sa boat, interconnected by interests with the Xu Family, will help to drag it out too.
Be it transferring the elves elsewhere or destroying them directly, they have many ways to deal with it.
After all, Jinghai City is their territory.
The Xu Family people are the local tyrants here!
Unless the Human Federation sends agents for a secret investigation... but that’s not up to Lu Xun and them to decide.
Who knows what will happen?
"Moreover, those elves might have already been dealt with by now!" Zhang Xinghai added in a heavy voice.
Destroy the bodies, remove the traces, with no evidence, how could you convict soone?
"No, the elves are fine." Lu Xun said confidently.
Before leaving the building earlier, he had quietly released the Little Evil Spirit, Er Lengzi.
Have it keep an eye on those "Canned Elves" and see where the Xu Family plans to move them.
If it dies, Lu Xun can sense it.
If it hasn’t died, it ans it hasn’t been discovered and is successfully tailing them;
If it hasn’t returned to report, it ans the elves are still intact and haven’t been disposed of.
The Xu Family’s Household Servants all have Spiritual Body Recognition Systems, and many places have Spiritual Power detection devices installed.
Lu Xun initially thought to just give it a try, not really expecting it to return alive.
But unexpectedly, it really succeeded!
This little guy is definitely suited for intelligence work, gifted... it needs to be properly nurtured in the future.
"Even if they haven’t been dealt with yet, it won’t be long."
Zhang Xinghai said, "The Xu Family should be waiting for another main ingredient. Once the ingredient is in hand, those elves will disappear from the world. We don’t have much ti left."
"Waiting for another ingredient?"
Lu Xun was taken aback, puzzled: "What do you an? Isn’t the Xu Family smuggling elves to enslave and exploit them?"
Elves generally have very high attractiveness, almost all are naturally handso and beautiful, and they possess an innate cool and noble aura.
He thought the Xu Family was involved with elves for... ulterior motives.
"No, it’s for pharmaceutical purposes!"
Zhang Xinghai’s gaze deepened as he looked at Lu Xun and whispered:
"Elixir of Immortality!"
What?
Pharmaceutical purposes?
And it’s for Elixir of Immortality?!
Lu Xun froze for a second before reacting, feeling utterly shocked.
Damn, elves can actually be used to make an Elixir of Immortality?
Why had he grown up without ever hearing of such a thing?
The Elf Race has existed on this planet for thirty thousand years; if they truly could be used to make an Elixir of Immortality, it would certainly be known to everyone by now.
But related information is not found in textbooks, libraries, or online...
"The Human Federation has enacted an information blockade to protect the Elf Race. It’s normal for ordinary people not to know, but it’s no secret to the upper echelons," Zhang Xinghai explained.
No wonder elves seldom leave their holand.
Even though their relations with humans are good, you rarely see elves walking the streets, even in the Human Federation’s Self-looping Cities.
Lu Xun had thought elves were just laid-back hobodies, uninterested in going out.
Now he knew, they were actually afraid of being captured for pharmaceutical ans!
Elves are each like "Tang Monk."
Living Elixirs of Life, even the First Emperor would drool!
"Can’t you make an Elixir of Immortality with just elves?" Lu Xun asked curiously.
"...You could, but the life-extending effect would be diocre, not even as good as the Life-Extending dicine humans produce themselves."
Zhang Xinghai explained: "Those who need to capture elves for pharmaceutical purposes are generally nearing 200 years of age, and the life-extending potion humanity has developed loses its efficacy for them. If they still want to keep living, they can only touch the taboo."
"Only using elves, along with another main ingredient, in the concoction can break the 200-year limit on human life. One could live up to 800 years!"
"And not only live long, but also ’not age,’ maintaining eternal youth until life’s end."
years?!
Eternal youth?!
Lu Xun scratched the beast horn on his head, finally understanding.
No wonder the Xu Family dares to challenge the world’s wrath, risking extermination, to smuggle elves.
For a re mortal, a low-level creature, to live for eight hundred years?
If an ordinary person’s lifespan is 100 years.
Would you take a chance, with your lifeti as a wager on the gambling table? If you lose, you die; if you win, you gain seven lifetis.
Would you dare to gamble?
You might be young, fear losing, and unwilling to bet your life.
But if you’re already 99 years old, and next year you are going to die?
Betting 1 year for 700 years, would you dare to gamble now?
Money and power can no longer satisfy so people.
They want immortality!
No wonder they’re brazen enough to target the elves.
"What are the two main ingredients?" Lu Xun’s expression grew grave as he asked again.
"One is the blood and marrow of elves... and it must be harvested from living entities; removing them from the body for even a few minutes will significantly weaken the potion’s life-extending effect."
Zhang Xinghai replied: "The other main ingredient is a vampire of baron status or higher... that is, Advanced Life Level or above."
"The skull of a baron-level Blood Race, ground into bone powder... also requiring live extraction."
"Elf blood, marrow, plus the skull of a high-level vampire, these are the main ingredients needed for the Elixir of Immortality."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun was stupefied.
What?
...Vampires?
Blood Race?
That despicable race, hadn’t they already gone extinct long ago?
Are there actually living mbers of the Blood Race in this world?
His pupils widened in surprise.
This news is explosive.
Even more surprising than learning that elves can create an Elixir of Immortality, a hundredfold!
Although the Blood Race, Undead Race, Witch Demons, and similar races all fall under the "Undead Race."
But during the last world war, the Blood Race decisively stood against humanity’s camp... and were then annihilated.
Yes, over four thousand years ago, the Blood Race vanished from the world.
Smuggling elves is one thing, but it’s beyond belief that the Xu Family can procure vampires that have long been extinct?
And they’re alive?!
Could it be that remnants of the Blood Race have always existed, just similarly shrouded from public knowledge due to information block?
"Heh, this situation... is getting more and more interesting."
