673: Chapter 673 Magic Water

With these 26 Cultivators holding the fort, Oriental Chen could finally start the reveal with peace of mind.

"What?! You, you, you… you really pulled it off?" Old Qin was greatly surprised by the news.

Ever since Oriental Chen told him in April of last year about his plan to publicize the Cultivator gene serum, there had been no news for over a year.

He never expected that over a year later, Oriental Chen would directly drop such a shocking piece of news.

In just over a year, 26 9th-order Cultivators were cultivated! This was truly inconceivable and unprecedented.

Oriental Chen hadn't yet told him that the 25 Special Operations Team members in the Kunlun Mountains Base had also reached the 9th Order.

Nor had he told him that within Huaguo, there were nearly 300 more latent individuals who were already Cultivators, though their cultivation realms were not yet high enough.

"I pulled it off. For this day, I waited a full 15 months," Oriental Chen said with a smile.

"Are you really planning to publicize this serum?"

"Yes. Haven't we already discussed this? Previously, it was because our foundation was insufficient, and we worried about high-order Mutants and Cultivators causing trouble.

Now that the conditions are met, it's time to begin."

"Alright! What's meant to come will always come.

Then let the storm rage even more fiercely!" Old Qin let out a long sigh of relief.

…

June 22, 2058 AD.

Kyoto Underground Base.

The same scene unfolded again, but this time it was even more intense.

Baili Ji received an order from Old Qin to issue a new announcement.

He trembled as he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

"What exactly does this Old Qin want to do? Does he really want to push Huaguo into an abyss?"

"Madmen, they're all madmen!"

His heart was in turmoil.

He couldn't imagine what kind of scene would unfold when everyone in the world learned that Huaguo had developed a serum that could transform ordinary people into Cultivators.

That would absolutely be a great chaotic battle.

Huaguo would no longer be peaceful.

Once the chaotic battle began, those bases controlled by the Moni Sect would likely become even more frantic.

No one likes to be oppressed or controlled.

Once they had sufficient ability, they would definitely rise up in resistance.

From this perspective, there was also opportunity hidden within the crisis.

However, in Baili Ji's view, this was a terrible move.

To deal with the Moni Sect, they would resort to a suicidal attack?

At that time, the Moni Sect wouldn't be able to control Huaguo, but the Assembly wouldn't be able to control it either.

Wouldn't Huaguo then descend into complete chaos?

Baili Ji raised his doubts, but Old Qin's attitude was very firm.

Baili Ji had no choice but to comply.

"Issue it!" After a long period of internal struggle, Baili Ji finally handed the document to the messenger and gave the order.

The content of the announcement was relatively simple, and the full text was as follows:

As soon as the announcement was released, all the bases exploded.

"immortal water? Why does that name sound like a fake medicine?"

"Are they crazy? One injection and you instantly become a Cultivator? Is the Assembly serious?"

"If it weren't for Baili Ji's signature, I'd think someone was playing a prank!"

"10 crystalss, that's practically dirt cheap, isn't it?"

"Hahaha! I get it, the Assembly is dumping stock at a low price, preparing to collectively improve the overall quality of all citizens."

"Holy crap! What are we waiting for? Hurry up and get in line! It's only 10 crystalss, the cost of a meal.

If I really become a Cultivator, I'll be a big shot too!"

…

In an instant, throughout the country, in the as-yet unsealed underground bases, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce was completely surrounded.
