Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

Chapter 536: Dragon Transformation

 Finding a reason finally convinced Lou Ji.

 Due to the increasing tension in the situation, many war projects in the Prime Minister's Office are being studied closely in parallel. Among these projects, the research sequence on Emperor Sean's heart is second only to the other two top-secret experiments.

This not only invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but also spent huge sums of money to persuade a Yuanchu Keqing who was nearing his longevity to be used as an experimental subject for transplantation. If the special characteristics of Xu Yuan's body can reduce a lot of unnecessary expenses, it will be a good thing for the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

 There was a group of four people, Lou Ji swaying at the front and leading the way. While walking, Xu Yuan slowly walked to Xu Xinyao's side and stood shoulder to shoulder, while Ran Qingmo hung silently at the back.

Looking at the third brother who suddenly walked up to her side, Xu Xinyao glanced back at the girl in black clothes behind her, and asked in slight surprise:

“Third brother, do you want to see me if you have something to do?”

 Xu Yuan nodded, looked at the four sisters beside him, and asked in a low voice:

“After all this time, how is the research progress on the soul ring?”

Today he came down to this dark prison to do quite a lot of things, including meeting Wuming, getting the soul-avoiding clothes, looking at the heart, and asking about the scientific research progress of the four sisters' soul rings.

Although Xu Xinyao has said before that this project will not see any return in the short term, as the investing Party A, he has the right to know all the scientific research progress of Party B.

  .”Xu Yuan.

 Painting.

 Ever since she was little, this girl has made similar little moves when she lies.

Lou Ji, who was walking in the front, turned her eyes calmly when she heard the words behind them, and glanced at the brother and sister with a hint of amusement.

This little four is also a bad learner.

　　　Yes, a glance is a lie.

 Ambiguity = money wasted.

In this kind of scientific research project, even if there is a slight progress, Party B will be eager to directly put the project results on his forehead to show Party A.

 Xu Yuan finally discovered it.

"to be honest!"

 Xu Yuan glanced at Xu Xinyao: "How many thousand are you willing to pay?"

But this time, the bad woman did not add insult to injury to Xu Xinyao. Instead, she helped and explained softly:

"Changtian, I really don't blame Xinyao for this. You want to make this soul ring. Our Prime Minister's Mansion has not had any similar research projects in the past. The only thing that can help her is the Demon and Ghost Formation, a new thing from zero to one. The process is really difficult, and two million taels of silver is actually very little."

“This. This is due to the lack of materials. Many of the materials in the list of materials for refining the soul ring given by Senior Luo are missing. Others are easy to say, but the replacement material for the main material, blood refining crystal, has never been found.”

After looking at each other for a moment, Xu Xinyao looked away with a guilty conscience and defended in a low voice:

 “Don’t talk about this stuff that I don’t understand.”

Xu Xinyao lowered her head and stopped talking.

Xu Xinyao’s eyes flashed and she whispered back:

"It's okay. Third brother, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Xu Xinyao felt a little guilty and said in a low voice:

 “Five and a half million taels.”

Hearing this, Xu Xinyao immediately raised her head and glanced at Lou Ji gratefully, and then looked pitifully at Xu Yuan, the "father of Party A".

Thoughts flashed across his mind, and Xu Yuan stared at Xu Xinyao without saying a word.

Xu Xinyao spoke righteously about this, with a soft voice:

 “More than a million?”

Looking at the thin and slender body of the girl in front of him under the light blue robe, Xu Yuan's eyes looked angry and funny, and he asked softly:

Xu Xinyao looked down at the flat stone road and whispered:

"About three hundred thousand." Xu Xinyao didn't hesitate in her eyes, but she raised her left hand and squeezed her right arm.

ˆ “.”

“There is enough money, so of course we have to use the best, so that the date for you, Third Brother, to see the finished product can be brought forward.”

"Since we have used the best things, why is there no progress at all?" Xu Yuanxing asked.

“It only cost a little over one million taels”

"Third brother... Xinyao has been very busy recently. You see, I have to help with the saint's body. I also have to help with the repairs of the black prison. Even the master sometimes asks me to help at the Gewuyuan, so .so."

ˆ “.”

Xu Yuan snorted lightly and said:

“I only need to ask Hua Hong and Jiang He about the allocation of research materials and personnel!”

“So how much silver has been used now?” Xu Yuan asked calmly.

One million nine hundred and thirty thousand taels, this is the price of the internal purchase of the prime minister's house. If the phone bill is placed outside, the silver has exceeded 2.5 million, which is more than 4 billion in the currency of the previous life. It took more than a month to burn More than 4 billion

Looking at Xu Yuan’s cheeks that were gradually darkening, Xu Xinyao explained in a low voice but very quickly:

"These silvers are the initial investment. To carve the Linlong Dharma pattern requires the "Carving Dust Realm", but the ordinary "Carving Chen Realm" in the Gewuyuan cannot meet the research needs of the soul ring. It needs to be customized by the Tiangong Division of the royal family. This It’s very expensive, and you also need to purchase spiritual materials for magic patterns.”

Xu Xinyao shrank her neck:

Xu Yuan directly interrupted the spell casting and asked directly:

“The money has been spent, but what are the results?”

**** it.

If she is lying next to the tea table, the fourth sister will pour water to drink. If she is in the carriage, she will use her fingers to pick the animal skin plush on the soft couch.

 “Ninety-three in the early days”

“But I remember when you told me about this before, you only needed about two million taels in the initial stage.”

The experience of being Party A in the past and present life made Xu Yuan immediately realize that this girl was probably making no progress the moment he heard this answer.

 Once it comes to her own research, this originally well-behaved and gentle fourth sister can also run a beast in her mouth.

Took two deep breaths, Xu Yuan frowned:

“Is there no replacement at all, or can’t you find one?”

"some!"

Xu Xinyao raised her voice slightly.

At this moment, Lou Ji answered with a smile:

“Changtian, you don’t have to doubt Xinyao about this. There is indeed a dragon spirit stone, but it’s really hard to find.”

"Why?"

“Because the replacement of the Dragon Spirit Stone is going to the ancient abyss to kill a dragon.”

  .”Xu Yuan.

Lou Ji’s voice was slow and leisurely, frivolous and charming:

“A treasure named Dragon Transformation Essence will be born in the dragon’s body. Just like the snake heart lotus from the Seven Lives Python brought back by Xu Changge before, the Dragon Transformation Essence is something that stores the dragon’s spiritual consciousness and can replace the blood crystal.”

Xu Yuan's eyes flashed when he heard the words, but he didn't answer immediately.

Xu Xinyao whispered worriedly:

“Third brother, actually you don’t have to worry too much. If you don’t have the Dragon Transformation Essence, I can still refine the materials to replace it. It just takes some time.”

Xu Yuan waved his hand to show that he knew, and then asked slightly seriously:

"I remember that the Dragon Transformation Essence is not big in size. If it is used as the main material, can it really be mass-produced?" Xu Yuan knows nothing about weapon refining and formations, but if the Dragon Transformation Essence is needed, he will Can be of some help.

The ultimate goal of developing a soul ring that can accommodate ghosts and ghosts is to achieve mass production, thereby launching an "energy revolution" different from the source crystal. However, if the soul ring is refined with dragon essence as the main material, how can this be achieved? Mass production?

 The Dragon Clan is the emperor of the Ancient Abyss Demon Clan, how could you let you kill people at will to make weapons refining materials?

Xu Xinyao certainly understood Xu Yuan’s worries and explained softly:

"Third Brother, you may have misunderstood. To be precise, Dragon Transformation Essence is not a substitute for the main material, but a main ingredient for refining substitute materials. Xinyao can refine it with just one Dragon Transformation Essence. Create a replacement material weighing about two stones.

“With this batch of replacement materials, the research on the soul ring can continue. As for after this batch of materials is used up.”

Speaking of this, Xu Xinyao smiled slightly:

“By that time, the master’s Gwuyuan side should have been able to remove the Dragon Transformation Essence from the main materials for refining replacement materials through debugging.”

understood.

 The Dragon Transformation Essence is a transitional material that allows the research on the soul ring to proceed. With it, while Xu Xinyao is researching the soul ring, the Institute of Geosciences will also simultaneously deconstruct the Dragon Transformation Essence and find replacement materials.

Thinking in his heart, Xu Yuan was silently calculating in his heart.

 He planned to obtain a dragon-transforming spirit through the information in "Cangyuan".

 According to the direction of the timeline, the little female dragon in Gu Yuan should be in the territory of Dayan now, but Xu Yuan has no intention of attacking her.

It’s not that I’m reluctant to give up. There have been so many paper man wives in “Cang Yuan” who have died, not least of which is the little female dragon. The main reason is that it’s hard to find them.

In "Cangyuan", as long as you remember the time and place and go there on time, you can find this little female dragon. But now the world line has been completely destroyed by his arrival, and it is impossible to find her based on the information from the previous life. .

 Besides this little female dragon, Xu Yuan did know that there was a dragon transforming spirit somewhere.

 A little male dragon that has been dead for a hundred years.

The little female dragon’s playful brother secretly ran from the ancient abyss to Dayan hundreds of years ago, and then accidentally exposed the evil spirit. He was eventually besieged and seriously injured, and then died in the territory of Dayan.

 “Long sky.”

 The heavenly materials and earthly treasures in his body have all decayed due to the passage of time, but the dragon-transforming essence in his body is still there.

 “Long sky.”

In "Cangyuan", this Dragon Transformation Essence is the key to unlocking the Dragon Knight route, but now it can be used to solve an urgent need.

 “Changtian!”

 Lou Ji’s slightly raised voice interrupted Xu Yuan’s thinking.

 Lift your eyes and look at each other.

Lou Ji’s beautiful eyes curved into two long and narrow crescents, staring at him with a smile:

 “You seem to have a clue about the dragon spirit?”

No wonder I have been single for so many years. No matter how close I am to others, who can stand being so sensitive?

Humbling in his mind, Xu Yuan smiled and asked:

"Why do you ask?"

 Lou Ji shrugged lightly and said with a smile:

“Forget it if you don’t have it, but Changtian, don’t suddenly pick up a dragon spirit on the road and come back, okay?”

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and said softly:

"Yes, yes, but I have to discuss it with Ran Qingmo."

 “Ran Qingmo?” Lou Ji raised her eyebrows slightly.

Slowly stepping forward, Xu Yuan reached out and patted Lou Ji's soft shoulder, laughing softly:

“Sister, Ran Qingmo told me before that she heard some rumors while traveling, so I have to ask for her opinion first.”

ˆ “.”

Lou Ji frowned when he heard this, and immediately glanced at Ran Qingmo, who was hanging at the back of the four people. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people.

Hearing Xu Yuan talk about himself, Da Bingtuozi immediately raised his eyes, looked at Xu Yuan, and then at Lou Ji, blinking twice, his eyes were quiet and did not change at all.

  “.?” Ran Qingmo.

 Rebound.

　　　　 Lou Ji.

In any case, Da Bingtuozi won't argue. It's easier to throw the blame on her head than Old Man Luo.

 With a smile in his heart, Xu Yuan looked at Xu Xinyao aside, and after seeing him, he said slowly:

"Xin Yao, you should know how precious the Dragon Transformation Essence is. Although your sister Qingmo doesn't care too much about these things, as a brother, I have to give her some compensation. I will transfer your remaining six million taels first. half."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 by Xu Xinyao.

The Black Prison is like a maze, with intricate corridors extending in all directions. As one goes deeper into the Black Prison, some rustling and low rumbling sounds continue to be heard from the dark end.

　That night the battle between Feng Jiuxuan and Emperor Xi En caused great damage to the Black Prison.

 It is easy to destroy but difficult to rebuild.

Although the hole cut above has been filled, the various mechanisms and formations inside the black prison are still being repaired.

However, all these destructions occurred on the earth-level prison side. Although Lou Ji’s dispensing pharmacy for conducting experiments in the black prison was not far from Xu Xinyao’s room, it was still within the scope of the heaven-level prison.

 The clattering footsteps of the four people echoed in the corridor.

After learning that three million of her scientific research funds were lost, Xu Xinyao kept her head down in gloom and followed Lou Ji silently.

After achieving his goal, Xu Yuan paid no attention to Xiaosi's irritable temper and returned to Da Bingtuozi, holding her white and cold little hand, feeling the youthful ignorance that was a little too much.

Ran Qingmo did what Xu Yuan thought. He didn't say anything or ask anything, and just let the man beside him lead him.

Xu Yuanting likes this feeling.

This kind of affection that started gradually from holding hands can probably be traced back to when he was in junior high school in his previous life.

 Walking all the way, silent all the way.

After briefly reminiscing about his youth, Xu Yuan began to calculate the military expenditures of Xiaobai's tribe.

Three million taels of silver may seem like a lot, but based on the Blackscale Army's armament ration, it can only arm half a battalion (2,500 people) at most.

 Because Dayan’s standard armor is really expensive.

However, he could go and talk to Hua Hong specifically about this matter. After all, he now wears the identity of the Prime Minister's Prince. Not only should he get the goods from him at the cost price, he should at least get the lowest price. purchase price.

With complicated things on their minds, the four of them arrived at Lou Ji's dispensing room.

The Black Prison is under the direct jurisdiction of Lou Ji. The size of the dispensing room she built for herself is much larger than that of Xu Xinyao's room. Dozens of wooden shelves are covered with thousands of names of medicinal materials. It includes almost all the medicinal herbs in Great Yan.

As he entered, Xu Yuan's eyes immediately locked on an adopted sister whom he had not seen for a long time. A white and black undershirt set off her gentle temperament.

As expected, Luo Xiran is also here.

As a pharmacological genius who once developed the Destiny Liquid, a drug that can reverse the transformation of ghosts into gods, she is naturally also very interested in Emperor Sean's heart.

However, what surprised Xu Yuan was that there was a beautiful figure standing next to Luo Xiran.

Bai Muxi is actually here too.
