Chapter 200 Alchemy Base
To ordinary people, a martial artist at the Earth Rank is a figure who is high above and unattainable. Flying over rooftops, leaping more than ten meters at a time, and breaking bricks with bare hands are all child's play to them.
This person came forward to warn Ye Mo and Chu Miaomiao simply because he sensed their extraordinary skills and believed they were either martial artists or cultivators.
A fierce battle inevitably broke out between the two sides.
It couldn't even be called a fierce battle; it was a crushing defeat.
As expected, Chu Miaomiao didn't even make a move, just stood aside and watched. Ye Mo suppressed this Earth-rank martial artist with just one move. Cultivators and martial artists are simply not on the same level.
"Tell me, why are you arresting those students?"
Ye Mo stepped on the martial artist with immense force, rendering him unable to move no matter how much he struggled.
"You've offended the Jiang family. No matter who you are, you're all doomed. Your whole family will die, and everyone connected to you will die!"
Ye Mo stomped on the other person's head and crushed it. At this point, if the other person didn't make any threats, they were simply asking for death.
Chu Miaomiao turned around, not wanting to see such a bloody scene, afraid of disturbing her mood.
After crushing the martial artist, they could only continue their investigation.
The two were conducting their investigation on campus.
Over here, Yun Chen and Qin Xi had already reached the Jiang family's headquarters, which was located in an extremely remote mountain area on a flat piece of land.
This place is enormous, like a huge town, and is surrounded by walls more than ten meters high, like an ancient city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, very secure. There are thousands of households inside, and each person is extraordinary. Many of them are at least top figures in their respective industries. There is also an army, various radars, high technology, and surveillance everywhere.
The two of them quietly slipped into the nearby mountains and forests.
Unexpectedly, the nearby mountains and forests were not simple either, with many sentry posts and some fully armed soldiers stationed there.
Rumble!
Helicopters were constantly taking off and landing.
The Jiang family has a long history; according to the information found so far, it has existed for at least sixty or seventy years and has a large population.
Yun Chen and Qin Xi observed from a distance and found that many of the people who appeared were foreigners: black people with charcoal-like skin, yellow-skinned Japanese, white-skinned coal-producing people, and mixed-race people from small Southeast Asian countries who looked very similar to the mainstream Chinese bloodline.
Furthermore, Yun Chen and Qin Xi sensed a strong fluctuation of demonic energy, and the two made a hand seal to blend into it.
This place is vast, not just the villas and estates on the surface, but also interconnected underground laboratories, where countless dark and sordid things are done in places unseen on the surface.
The head of the Jiang family is named Jiang Hai. He is seventy years old, very tall, and a Heaven-rank martial artist. He has vigorous blood and energy and looks only around fifty years old.
A Heavenly Rank martial artist is the pinnacle of martial arts.
But Jiang Hai was not satisfied with this.
He wants to cultivate immortality!!!
Over the years, he has sent people to excavate many ancient tombs and caves, monopolizing those ancient scriptures.
But no matter how much he studied it, he was unable to cultivate it.
So he's become obsessed, constantly seeking help from the cultivators in the Dragon Group, but nothing he does has worked.
"I'm going to refine pills!" Jiang Hai gave the order, finding a large number of ancient pill formulas and collecting a large amount of medicinal materials to refine pills.
He wanted to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Elixir of Immortality.
This idea is absolutely insane.
Even the Dragon Group has very few alchemy techniques. Cultivators can only survive on rare spiritual herbs. These herbs are incredibly rare. Each ancient pill is priceless and can be preserved for hundreds of years without spoiling. They are true immortal pills, and ordinary cultivators are not qualified to obtain them. Each one can cause bloodshed.
The huge factory beneath the Jiang family's land was built by him to conduct various experiments and to refine various so-called "elixirs".
Yun Chen and Qin Xi frowned as they entered.
This place is like hell on earth.
There were many automated mechanical devices and numerous laboratories, all clearly categorized and arranged. Each laboratory was well-insulated, and the two, possessing extraordinary perception, could hear with perfect clarity the chilling screams coming from afar.
They used magic along the way, easily causing the fully armed warriors to hallucinate and become invisible to them.
As they walked, they took a deep breath.
The sight here made their scalps tingle and their eyes blaze with fury. Qin Xi was completely distraught, clenching her fists and trembling all over.
Human modification and experimentation are the most basic things here. As for the darker and more inhumane things, ordinary people can't even imagine them. Those ordinary people who were captured suffered inhumane persecution.
Even they felt resentment and found it unforgivable.
Although the immortal elders had used their supernatural powers to create incredibly realistic illusions during their first year on the mountain, giving them special training and exposing them to all sorts of bloody, cruel, and terrifying scenes, seeing these sights now still made their scalps tingle and filled them with rage.
Yun Chen, holding Qin Xi's hand and suppressing his anger, walked towards the deepest part of the house and entered through a very heavy door.
Finally, they arrived at the very center of the underground space, which was no longer beneath those manors, but deep inside a mountain next to the town.
"That's how it should be made!"
Rumble!
From afar, the two could hear a tremendous roar.
Inside the mountain is an enormous space, its layout completely different from the high-tech impression of a laboratory. It appears very ancient, as if one has traveled back to ancient times. Here, towering redwoods stand, and the surrounding walls are covered with various ancient runes and ancient animal patterns, faintly tinged with a dark gold.
Here stood a massive alchemy furnace, with three legs and two handles, two meters in diameter, and made entirely of a metal similar to bronze. However, it was not bronze, but a metal of a higher grade that had never been seen in the mortal world before.
The alchemy furnace was heated on a suspended frame, bubbling and steaming inside, as if it were simmering something.
Some people wearing glasses and Taoist robes, whose attire seemed somewhat incongruous, were flipping through some old and worn-out scriptures, constantly adding medicinal herbs into them.
"The heat is just right; add thirty taels of the heart's blood from the Yin body."
An elderly man with white hair, wearing glasses and a Taoist robe, spoke up, and a middle-aged man brought over a cup of fresh blood and added it to the cup.
As the cup of blood was poured in, a chemical reaction occurred in the alchemy furnace, causing bubbles to rise and fall.
"Turn off the fire."
Seeing that the fire was almost ready, the white-haired old man ordered the fire to be extinguished, and all the ingredients were concentrated together. The viscous, golden liquid was poured out, and only a small cup was condensed. It immediately moved on to the next process, starting to shape it, and finally condensed into pills the size of a thumb.
The freshly made "elixir" was immediately sent for testing.
In another laboratory, several tall, fully armed martial artists dragged over a few young men like dead dogs, grabbed their chins, and forced them to swallow pills.
"Waaaaah..."
After being forced to swallow the medicine, the young people immediately lost consciousness and were then dragged away for observation.
In the shadows, Yun Chen and Qin Xi used invisibility techniques. Even in this environment where surveillance was everywhere, unless they were more powerful cultivators, no one could detect their presence.
Seeing all this, the two exchanged a glance.
Qin Xi's face was filled with rage, her pretty face turning cold: "What a bunch of beasts! They actually used human blood to refine pills!"
Yun Chen said, "Let's destroy this place!"
He had already formed a hand seal, and his entire body was enveloped in flowing internal energy.
Qin Xi nodded, and the two immediately reached an agreement.
The two attacked immediately.
Yun Chen took out a small sword, used his technique, and threw it out. The sword immediately transformed into a streak of light, flying out and instantly killing the martial artists guarding the surrounding area.
"Who goes there!"
Immediately, someone reacted. It was a Heaven-Rank martial artist who was shocked. He was as light as a swallow and so fast that he could barely move. He drew a long sword and rushed directly towards Yun Chen.
Yun Chen simply raised his hand, slapped the knife in half, and then struck the man's skull, turning his head into mush. His eyes widened, and he collapsed to the ground, instantly dying.
