176: Chapter 176 The Situation Gradually Becomes Chaotic...

"What powerful strength!"

"Did Director Zhao take some kind of super-strength pill or something!"

The people in the conference room gasped as they looked at the human-shaped hole that had appeared in the flat surface of the conference room door.

Although the door was not made of hard alloy, even a regular wooden door could not be smashed through by an ordinary person.

Furthermore, one must know that while the spiritual energy cultivation system could increase a person's physical fitness, the spiritual energy aptitude of this group was not very high, and their physical fitness had not reached the shocking level seen before them!

"Is the effect of the Beast Blood Pill permanent?!"

A leader stood up excitedly!

The researcher, Xiao Wang, nodded, "That is certain. The function of the Beast Blood Pill is that of a weakened version of the dragon blood fruit; it can optimize a biological organism's genes and enhance its potential. Director Zhao's constitution was just too weak earlier, so after consuming the Beast Blood Pill, the gains were significant."

"Furthermore, no major negative side effects have been discovered for the Beast Blood Pill so far; it only affects a person's emotions within a certain range."

"It's that good?!"

"I feel that the Beast Blood Pill could allow our Jianghai City's spiritual energy cultivation system to take a huge leap forward!"

Next, the many leaders in the conference room asked for more specific information about the Beast Blood Pill.

In summary, the Beast Blood Pill was indeed a manageable resource, which made them feel excited inside.

"Mayor Lin, should we notify the other cities of the Great Xia Kingdom about the Beast Blood Pill?"

Mayor Lin shook his head calmly.

"The principle of the Beast Blood Pill is that it is made by extracting the essence blood of beasts and combining it with spirit plants. I'm afraid others will soon discover this too. We can currently take advantage of the information gap to purchase large quantities of spirit fruit and medicinal herbs, and collect the corpses of powerful beasts."

The financial director looked a bit troubled.

"We just built the barrier in the Qinling Mountains to the south of the city, which is also the habitat of the Ancient Divine Phoenix... If we collect these things now, will the city's funds be insufficient?"

Hearing his words, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

That's right!

Even if the things were great, they didn't have the funds to operate!

One must know that the daily operation of a city also requires huge funds!

Mayor Lin chuckled, "Are you people's brains not working well? We can sell the Beast Blood Pill for profit. Remember, at that time, you must only accept payment in gold."

"That's right! We can completely purchase the materials for the Beast Blood Pill while selling it at the same time!"

"By then, our Jianghai City might just make a huge profit and catch up to top-tier second-line cities in terms of economic strength!"

The leaders of Jianghai City were all very excited!

Having witnessed the immediate effectiveness of the Beast Blood Pill on people, they were not worried about its sales at all. By utilizing the information gap regarding the Beast Blood Pill, they could definitely allow Jianghai City to earn a huge economic windfall.

Someone asked with confusion.

"But... Mayor, why only accept gold transactions?"

Mayor Lin took a slow sip of water, then looked at the people in the conference room, who all had different expressions; some looked confused, while others were full of worry, with a hint of realization.

He nodded.

"The current situation in the Great Xia Kingdom... or rather, the situation on the Blue Planet, is becoming increasingly unclear."

"Although countries on the Blue Planet are currently researching the spiritual energy in the air and have created various products related to spiritual energy over the past six months, such as Russia's Warrior Serum project, Lighthouse Country's Spirit Energy Breathing Technique... and so on."

"But have you noticed that the potential crisis posed to humans by beasts in the wild outside the cities is becoming increasingly huge?"

Hearing this, most people in the conference room nodded thoughtfully.

Not to mention anything far away, just outside the suburbs of their Jianghai City existed an incredibly terrifying flying creature. Recalling the beast tide composed of over a hundred thousand beasts last time, they felt even more fear.

But some people were still a bit confused.

"Mayor, they are just a group of beasts. Even if they are enlightened by spiritual energy to be more intelligent and have larger bodies, how could they possibly be a match for us humans?"

The tone paused, as if recalling something.

"That Ancient Giant Bird was just an exception. It's been several months now, and we haven't seen another powerful creature."

"Stupid!"

Mayor Lin rarely spoke so bluntly!

"The geographical locations of our cities in the Great Xia Kingdom are still okay; the cities are not close to the border of the wilderness. Do you know that just last month, a city in a state of Lighthouse Country was swallowed by a beast tide?"

"Hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives, and not a single one survived!"

"According to reliable sources, someone saw a golden lion as huge as a small mountain in the beast tide. It is very likely that the mastermind behind it is this lion."

The person who had just spoken turned pale, because he thought of a terrifying thing.

"I remember that in the territory of that Ancient Giant Bird outside Jianghai City, there are over a hundred thousand beasts... Could it be that this Ancient Creature can lead this group of beasts?"

"What do you think? This is a fact."

The conference room suddenly fell into silence.

Because behind this news was the fact that if that Ancient Creature could control a beast tide, then it could naturally make the beast tide attack their Jianghai City!

With a massive beast tide plus that powerful Ancient Creature, their Jianghai City would definitely not be able to withstand it!

"No wonder Mayor Lin previously agreed to build a habitat for that Ancient Creature... So there was this consideration..."

"Unknowingly, that Ancient Giant Bird already possesses the power to destroy our Jianghai City? Truly incredible..."

Mayor Lin noticed that everyone's mood was gradually becoming depressed, and he slammed the table!

"Alright, don't overthink it. Let everything take its course. The issue of the Ancient Divine Phoenix is not something we can solve at the moment."

"Let's return to the present topic. I predict that the situation will soon become chaotic. When the economic system collapses, only gold will be the currency."

"Understood!"

The financial director of Jianghai City said, "There is no time to lose. I will arrange funds immediately to fully purchase spirit fruit, spirit plants, and the corpses of powerful beasts."

...

In the southern suburbs of Jianghai City, at the edge bordering the Qinling Mountains, a giant mountain had already been erected.

On a smooth cliff face of the mountain, there were three vigorous, large characters: "Divine Phoenix Mountain".

On the summit of the mountain, a huge, fiery-red figure stood tall.

Fire colors overflowed; it was magnificent but not vulgar, and the gorgeous light reflected from it was full of a noble aura.

A pair of large phoenix eyes were very bright and beautiful, and golden pupils flickered with light.

Ye Yang lowered his head and looked at the long red feathers trailing from his tail; he was still not quite used to it.

"This actually looks a bit like peacock feathers..."

"It's pretty, but I don't need it for courtship, so what's the use of this?"

He muttered in his heart.

Suddenly sensing an aura approaching, he turned sideways and raised his large phoenix eyes.

It turned out to be Xiong Da.

Xiong Da moved its bear paws and slowly walked to within ten meters of Ye Yang, then stopped its bear paws, and a drop of sweat involuntarily appeared on its forehead.

Why was the temperature so high around here?

Xiong Da shook its head, respectfully lowered its head, and growled lowly.

"Roar... Boss, I want to... leave... here..."

"Hmm?"
