Chapter 881: Chapter 591: Eye Replacement, Kazik and Jie La
A hundred meters underground, far from the clamor and brightness of the surface, lies a massive secret research base. It is enveloped securely by thick alloy rock layers, isolating it from any external probing.
Here, there is no alternation of day and night, only dense, cold white light tubes above, emitting a glaring and icy glow, illuminating the entire vast laboratory like daylight, with not even a hint of shadow to be found.
In the spacious area, research personnel in white lab coats hurried along, their expressions focused yet indifferent.
Different experimental stations were scattered across various corners of the laboratory, each holding various forms of "experimental subjects."
Snow Beasts covered in snow, with fangs exposed
Humans injected with unknown potions, convulsing all over
There are also strange and bizarre unknown creatures forcibly restrained on operating tables, emitting piercing yet weak howls, making one’s hair stand on end.
The air is filled with the strong scent of disinfectant, mixed with the acrid smell of potions, the stench of biological entities, and a faint, elusive hint of blood.
However, the researchers were used to it, and no one showed the slightest discomfort.
The core area of the research base - the Central Laboratory, felt even colder and more solemn compared to the perimeter.
A few researchers in white coats cautiously lifted a comatose man onto the central operating table.
The man’s body was naked, his limbs securely restrained by specially designed alloy straps, with several electrodes attached to his neck, connected to the nearby machines, the screens displaying the curves of his vital signs.
Beside the operating table, a bizarre figure hovered in mid-air, starkly contrasting the solemn and quiet laboratory.
It was a skeleton ghost, with two clusters of icy ghost flames burning in its hollow eye sockets, wearing a white lab coat as well.
The busy researchers next to this floating skeleton ghost showed no reaction, neither fear nor surprise, as if it naturally belonged there.
Some researchers even occasionally glanced at the skeleton ghost in between operations, their eyes not showing any abnormalities but rather a near-reverent respect.
"Boss, this is my first time in the Central Laboratory."
The old ghost’s gaze slowly swept over the surrounding cold and towering precision instruments, the bustling researchers in white lab coats, and the floating Karsas nearby, speaking softly with some sentiment, "I didn’t expect the laboratory to have developed so maturely in less than two years."
He knew that a secret laboratory base was hidden a hundred meters deep beneath the Ice Extreme Pass, with Karsas being the absolute master of this base.
Despite the short time since the laboratory’s establishment, the results delivered have been astonishing.
For instance, the Dragon Blood Potion, which rapidly tempers a warrior’s physique and significantly enhances physical strength;
The improved Superman Potion, which is practically a boon for Barbarian Warriors — enduring the agonizing pain during its use renders one directly possessing a physique above Tier Four;
And the second-generation Youth Potion, which has taken the entire Empire by storm. Compared to the first generation, which only delayed aging and maintained looks, the second generation worked from the genetic level, achieving the miracle of appearing ten, even twenty years younger.
Upon its release, the second-generation Youth Potion incited a frenzy across the whole Empire, especially among females willing to pay any price to obtain a vial.
This specific potion catapulted Lingfeng Trading Company to a household name within the Empire, with annual profits exceeding hundreds of billions. If subsequent production stability continues, future profits are beyond estimation.
However, even as a senior member of the Ice Extreme Pass, the old ghost rarely had the chance to step in here.
In the eyes of many soldiers and senior members of the Ice Extreme Pass, this is a mysterious and sacred place, a cradle capable of endlessly creating wealth and miracles, yet always shrouded in a layer of mystery.
"Karsas was once a top researcher, and these people around him are also elite handpicked by him." Qin Tian looked at the old ghost with a more serious tone, "Thus, the success rate of transplanting the Eternal Ghost Eye is high, but the risks cannot be completely avoided — should the operation encounter any mishaps, it could become life-threatening. Even if I give my all to save your life, your cultivation is likely to be lost."
He paused, asking gravely, "Old Ghost, have you truly made up your mind?"
"I have decided."
The old ghost showed no hesitation, his expression calm and resolute, "Boss, I will undergo this surgery."
As a Spiritual Mind Master, how could he not be aware of Eternal Ghost Eye, one of the Empire’s top ten Pupil Skills?
It is the Golden Bloodline inheritance of the Black Wood Clan, capable of reaching the soul and controlling the Illusion Realm, a Talent every Spiritual Mind Master dreams of.
Yet, when he learned that the boss planned to transplant the Eternal Ghost Eye of Black Wood onto himself, he fell into a deep conflict and struggle within.
Indeed, the Eternal Ghost Eye is currently the easiest known Golden Level Talent to transplant, a fact certified by the Blood Demon Cult.
But no matter what, this is still a bloodline transplantation, and replacing his original eyes with those of a Tier Seven Nine Stars Spiritual Mind Master is far more dangerous than regular Talent transplantations. One slight misstep would mean utter ruin.
Moreover, the Blood Demon Cult succeeded repeatedly because bloodline transplantation was their forte, honed through countless trials.
But Karsas’s team was performing such a high-difficulty bloodline transplantation for the first time. Could they truly grasp every detail and ensure the surgery’s success?
