"Clan Elder Zhen, please help me gather the materials listed here, even if there is some markup."
After a moment.
Baiyu listed the items that the "Master" needed.
He wasn't afraid of revealing the formula.
Every Magic Elixir Recipe has specific dosage requirements.
Just knowing the types of ingredients cannot deduce the exact content of the Magic Elixir Recipe.
Let alone.
There are also various refining procedures that follow.
"Alright, I'll handle it immediately."
Qiong Zhen swiftly took the list.
The Legendary Ship hovered above the Anomaly Bureau and slowly came to a stop, its exhaust pipes continuously spewing steam, creating a rather spectacular scene.
Two Legendary Ships docked in the sky over Villiduo.
This unsettled the Martial Artists throughout the city, as they were unsure of what was happening.
Scenes like this hadn't occurred in many years.
Legendary Ships.
Usually could only be seen on television.
The Glory Queen remained in the sky, seemingly handling the aftermath of the Holy Light Church incident.
Baiyu knew better than to approach this Legendary Ship.
The person who could control the Glory Queen was not someone he could meet yet, and it's advisable not to have two Legendary Ships too close to each other.
It could easily lead to unnecessary conflicts.
Very soon.
Zhang Ruoxu emerged from the Anomaly Bureau building and flew to the deck of the Legendary Ship to meet Baiyu.
"Are you really sure you want to go to the Spirit Realm?"
Zhang Ruoxu looked at Baiyu, his expression extremely serious, "Once you're in, it's hard to come back out.
The Spirit Realm is not a place you can just enter and leave at will.
Opening such a large Teleportation Gate each time consumes a vast amount of Spirit Crystals, which are astronomical in market value."
Zhang Ruoxu's words were not without reason.
However.
The Legendary Ships hovering over Canglan Star were also heavily restricted, barely able to assist Baiyu with anything.
Entering the Spirit Realm is different.
"Let's begin, Director Zhang," Baiyu spoke concisely.
Zhang Ruoxu nodded, knowing he had resolutely made up his mind, and refrained from further persuasion, but instead took Baiyu inside the Anomaly Bureau.
Outside the main building.
The Anomaly Bureau had other structures, occupying vast grounds comparable to a university.
At this moment.
Zhang Ruoxu led Baiyu to a massive pond with a fountain.
Many lotus flowers floated on the water's surface.
This was the pond within the Anomaly Bureau, so large that it made one question reality.
Baiyu always assumed this place was for leisure and entertainment, but little did he know it had another function.
At this moment.
Zhang Ruoxu went to one side and turned on the Spirit Array switch below the pond, causing the water surface to part with a rush, creating huge waves.
In the center.
A massive gate made entirely of Living Iron appeared.
As if a massive piece had been lifted off the ground, Baiyu estimated the gate's scale to be at least tens of thousands of tons.
So much Living Iron.
Even Baiyu was shocked by this grand display.
It's simply outrageous and inhumane.
The Living Iron gate began to open slowly.
The sound of metal friction echoed continuously, full of weight.
Beneath the metallic gate.
Was a massive, rotating Spirit Realm entrance, shimmering with an aura.
This entrance could allow a Legendary Ship like the Glory Queen to pass safely.
This was designed specifically as a passage for large-scale troops or machinery to go through.
"The entrance can only be maintained for half an hour, you need to be quick.
If time runs out, the Legendary Ship won't be able to enter.
Opening the gate each time requires a long preparation period; this opening is a special case for you."
"Alright, I understand."
Baiyu nodded.
Soon.
At his command, Erza flew over, and its enormous size almost blocked out the Sun in the sky.
The people at the Anomaly Bureau looked up at this scene.
Observing a Legendary Ship up close was an immensely shocking experience.
Erza's hull descended slowly.
The enormous air pressure snapped surrounding plants and trees, stones flew erratically, and water splashed everywhere.
Afterwards.
The majestic hull sank below the water surface, slowly disappearing from sight.
Once Erza completely passed through the light gate and entered the Spirit Realm, the Living Iron gate gradually closed.
Zhang Ruoxu breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully nothing went amiss.
When it comes to transferring Legendary Ships, Zhang Ruoxu had to be cautious; carelessness could lead to problems.
"Thank you, Senior Zhang."
Baiyu politely thanked Zhang Ruoxu before hastily departing.
The matters he had to attend to were numerous.
Very soon.
He rushed to Villiduo to meet Long Shanyun.
This time.
The two had a delightful conversation.
Long Shanyun inexplicably stripped two Marquises of their title, particularly those who were always opposing him.
As for Baiyu.
He wished for and got the opportunity for the Legendary Ship to enter the Spirit Realm.
When it comes to dealing with nobility, only someone of Baiyu's status could handle it; he, Long Shanyun, stepping in personally, would cause a fierce backlash.
It was mutually beneficial.
Long Shanyun and Baiyu once again laid out their next cooperation plan.
The task of dealing with the nobility is a long-term one.
It must proceed step by step, consistently.
Long Shanyun promised Baiyu a degree of care, and would support him secretly.
Baiyu was straightforward.
It's purely a transaction of interests.
He became Long Shanyun's weapon, and Long Shanyun protected his development.
Both getting what they needed.
After all, Baiyu wasn't afraid of this group of nobles, nor was he afraid of being slandered in the Imperial Government.
This deal.
In the short term, it's a guaranteed win.
"By the way, there's been some conflict over at Mountain City recently, you need to be cautious.
As the leader of the Security Bureau.
During this period, you should stay in Mountain City."
After discussing serious matters, Long Shanyun didn't forget to add a reminder.
"Conflict? What's the situation?"
Baiyu asked.
"The Shell People Race is attacking, and they're coming in force. Mountain City has already entered full battle-preparedness. Be extra careful."
Long Shanyun said.
Baiyu took note of this, nodded, and left the government office.
Three days after the Legendary Ship entered Mountain City.
Baiyu finished all the follow-up matters in Villiduo and obtained the herbs from Qiong Zhen.
Excluding the cyclops bear's eye, all other materials were collected.
The cost of these materials nearly emptied Baiyu's treasury.
Fortunately, Qiong Ning was wealthy and generous.
If it were an ordinary Martial Artist, it would take years to gather these materials.
With a sense of regrets.
Baiyu stepped through the gate to return to Mountain City.
The happenings during this visit to Villiduo far exceeded his expectations.
However.
Overall, the results were positive.
He not only completed the Elite level task but also tackled the Nightmare Difficulty, solved the bottleneck in the Extraordinary Sequence.
He acquired Forbidden Divine Soldier Fragments and even joined the Divine Court.
Finally, he managed to get Erza to Mountain City, making his future operations in the Spirit Realm much more convenient.
Of course.
The downside was.
He drew a lot of hatred, and offended the entire noble class of Villiduo.
