On the outskirts of the capital, what was originally a weed field has now been built into a cluster of buildings.
A bright sign hangs at the entrance with the four characters "National Research Institute" written on it.
This is the center where Xu Mochen conducts research on human technology.
When he needs new medicines, equipment, etc., they are transferred to the research institute for development.
Of course, due to the current level, drug research is still gradually progressing.
As for chemical classification, great progress has been made due to Shen Zhining’s participation.
The most troublesome thing is the appliances, precision instruments, etc., which are difficult to implement without the support of modern technology. At present, they can only achieve similar functions.
Such as balances, microscopes, glass test tubes, flasks, etc. for chemical experiments.
Zhao Lingbo's Ministry of Health is actually stationed there.
Over in Ningzhou, a branch of Daqian Pharmaceutical was established to focus on production.
And here it is changed to research and development.
It may seem like an inconspicuous place, but it actually represents the highest technological center of the Daqian human race.
Around the institute, there are defensive formations and killing formations taught by Li Chunfeng. Immortal cultivators below the Nascent Soul are not allowed to enter.
And the person responsible for the main guard duty is Li Bitong.
She cut off her immortality and stopped at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but her strength should not be underestimated.
By candlelight, she is carefully studying the information in her hand.
The first step in the development of new drugs requires immortal cultivators to use magic to purify and extract. After the finished product is produced, specific production methods that are feasible for humans can be studied, which greatly shortens the intermediate process.
Xu Mochen's plan is to gradually derive modern technology from the results.
The window is open, and there are faint fireflies floating outside, accompanied by the sound of unknown insects.
Li Bitong turned over a page, and suddenly her consciousness was touched.
Immortal cultivators are coming! They are intruders!
This is not the first time. After all, many courtiers want to find out about the research institute established by His Majesty.
After most of them arrived, they found that there was a formation guarding them, so they did not forcefully break the formation.
But today, something is obviously wrong.
There was a flash of light outside, which was when the opponent launched an attack on the formation.
Li Bitong frowned, how could he be so aggressive when the situation was not over yet?
Thinking about it, she hooked her fingers and unfolded the paper dance technique. More than a dozen pieces of paper flew into the air and advanced alternately. She had already stepped on the paper and flew away.
In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the place and saw a man in black, punching the formation, causing ripples.
"Who is coming? This is a place set up by Emperor Daqian himself. Do you dare to break in?" Li Bitong immediately approached.
The man in black sneered, and when he saw her chasing after her, he turned around and fled away.
Li Bitong's spiritual energy surged and she sped up to catch up.
Just as the two figures disappeared, there was a sound of horse hooves, and a slim girl, wearing a fancy dress and carrying a bow and arrow on her back, came on horseback.
It is Shu Wuyin.
Master Xie Jing joined the National Research Institute, and she followed him to the capital.
It's just that she doesn't know much about research, and she has a restless personality. Fortunately, this is the suburbs of Beijing, so it's quite pleasant to go out and ride horses every day.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Li Bitong flying away. She pondered for a moment and urged her horses to follow.
On the other side, Li Bitong and the man in black were moving very fast, and they covered dozens of miles in a short time.
The surroundings were becoming more and more desolate, and Li Bitong was secretly on guard.
There was a dense forest ahead, and the man in black ducked into it.
Li Bitong followed closely behind, and just as he entered the dense forest, he felt a cold wind blowing over him.
She jumped up in a hurry, opened two magical caves behind her, and a pair of rulers flew out.
The cold wind passed by in a flash, and five or six trees around it were immediately cut in half.
"A bladeless sword?" Li Bitong could see clearly through the moonlight. If Zhiwu hadn't formed a sense of protection around her, she would have been cut into two pieces.
"Whoosh
"The sound sounded again, and several rays of cold light came.
"What a quick sword control," Li Bitong's face changed slightly. She didn't dare to neglect, "The eight-character mantra!"
The magical power unfolded, and the first word "Cheng" on the Zhen ruler turned into a big gold character, overwhelming the mountain and the sea.
The two forces collided, and the sword and the golden characters created a whirlpool, canceling each other out.
Before I could even take a breath, layers of cold light came from all directions.
Li Bitong formed a seal with her hands, and the character "风" spread out and turned into countless small gold characters, which also flowed over.
"I found you!" She had already swept her consciousness to capture the opponent's position, and the third golden word "break" flew out and turned into a ray of light, shooting straight towards him.
"Boom!" A cloud of dust exploded from the ground, and a black shadow rushed into the sky.
"Wave!" Li Bitong pointed with her right hand, and the word "wave" floated out, turning into a wave of waves, like a tornado, roaring and engulfing the black shadow.
But she didn't dare to be careless at all and continued to use the word "turn".
The golden character turned into a big hand, and with one palm it reached up and fell to the ground, creating a big hole.
"Did it work?" Li Bitong breathed a sigh of relief, "This person has such a fast sword."
There is almost no chance of resistance.
If it weren't for the group attack and defense capabilities of my Bazi Mantra, I'm afraid it would be difficult to parry.
She was on guard, wanting to go up and find out.
I had just taken a few steps when suddenly I felt a slight chill on my neck, as if something had stabbed me.
"Not good!" Li Bitong immediately backed away, but a black shadow flashed behind her.
"Explode!" It was too late, and she still didn't know what was happening to her. Li Bitong activated the remaining three golden words in one breath.
"Boom!" A big explosion occurred in the jungle.
When Shu Wuyin rode his horse and arrived, he saw such a big explosion.
She was invulnerable to water and fire, so naturally she was not afraid of explosions. She jumped up from the horse, used the trees, and flew into the forest.
The man was in the air, drew back the arrow, put it on the bow, fully pulled the string and was ready to go.
Waves of dust dispersed, and the vision gradually became clearer.
Shu Wuyin has no spiritual consciousness, and relies on the sensitivity to immortal cultivators that comes with being a stranger.
A figure appeared in front of her, and the bow and arrow were pointed at the opponent.
When she was looking up and down, preparing to shoot an arrow, the night light came through and she could see clearly that it was a woman's costume.
"Miss Li?" Shu Wuyin called.
There was blood at the corner of Li Bitong's mouth, and she covered her neck with one hand. She looked up and breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Shu."
Being in the same institute, the two naturally knew each other.
Shu Wuyin put away her bow and arrow, used her strength to jump on the tree trunk, and landed gently in front of Li Bitong: "Are you injured?"
Li Bitong nodded: "Use the remaining three golden characters in one breath to kill the opponent, but it also disturbs the Qizang Divine Mansion.
In addition, I was hit by a hidden weapon, which is used to block spiritual power. Now I can’t use my spiritual power.”
Shu Wuyin felt it and found that the aura on his body was indeed very weak.
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time," Shu Wuyin supported her, "Can I still ride a horse?"
Li Bitong nodded weakly.
The two of them supported the horse, Shu Wuyin was behind, and Li Bitong was vomiting blood.
"Get out of here," she said weakly, "don't fall into the trap of... tricking the tiger away from the mountain."
Shu Wuyin nodded, urged the horse, and galloped away.
