Orochi Shrine.
Takeuchi Kiyoko sat cross-legged in front of the Orochi statue, her beautiful face engulfed in surging demonic energy.
Several elders stood at a distance, their demeanor solemn and respectful.
Finally.
A black mist rose up from the Orochi statue, reaching into the sky.
The elders, overwhelmed with excitement, knelt to the ground in worship.
A voice, both ethereal and majestic, sounded out.
“You mortals, for what reason do you summon me?”
An elder clad in a black robe with golden edges crawled forward a few steps and spoke with utmost reverence, “Great Orochi, this is the mortal substitute we have found for you!”
A snake head faintly appeared within the black mist, looking down at Takeuchi Kiyoko, and let out a ghastly chuckle.
“Excellent, born with the Immortal Demon Body, well done!”
“Thank you, Great One!” The elders cried, tears streaming down their faces in their agitation.
The black mist suddenly lunged forward, enveloping Takeuchi Kiyoko within it.
Takeuchi Kiyoko’s face contorted in extreme pain, and blood slowly trickled out of her mouth and nose.
Suddenly.
The black mist disappeared without a trace.
And Takeuchi Kiyoko slowly opened her eyes, which were now diamond-shaped and full of indifference and cold cruelty.
All the elders respectfully knelt to the ground, “We greet you, Great One!”
“This time, I am very satisfied with the body. Therefore, in my descent this time, I shall gather the other heads and then coalesce the Immortal Demon Body,” Takeuchi Kiyoko said coldly.
“Yes!”
“As for now…” Takeuchi Kiyoko turned and walked toward the shrine, pulling a blade out from beside the statue.
With the unsheathing of this blade, the entire room darkened.
Violent and biting Sha energy rose from the sword.
Takeuchi Kiyoko spread her mouth in a fearsome and terrifying smile.
“The aura of the Huaxia Sword Immortal has vanished, now only General Lin remains. Once I slay him, the whole of Huaxia will be powerless before the strength of my Ghost God’s Slash!” Her speech started awkwardly but became more fluent as she continued.
Fear filled the hearts of the elders at that moment.
Orochi’s incarnations would usually take at least several months to perfectly merge.
Yet, this time, the fusion was complete in such a short time.
Even faster than the previous host, Nagatsuki Ito!
Takeuchi Kiyoko turned to look at the people kneeling on the ground, “You have done well. Once I reunite my Immortal Demon Body and reign over this realm, I shall transform all of you into Immortal Demon Bodies, granting you everlasting life!”
The elders knocked their heads on the floor in gratitude, tears of excitement flowing across their faces.
“Send the order, in half a month, I shall cross the sea to the east to avenge the blow that General Lin struck against me!”
“Yes!”
Xue An had been staying at home for the past few days, as he wanted to simplify the production of the Primordial Essence Elixir as much as possible.
After all, many of the medicinal ingredients were very precious, and if made strictly according to the original formula, the price would be too high for many to afford.
Moreover, the production process had to meet the requirements of assembly line manufacturing, otherwise, if it were all done by hand, the output could not be assured!
That day, he received a call from his boss, Zhao Xuehui.
“Hey, Little Brother, I’ve just been in touch with a pharma factory that’s looking to sell, and the price is very cheap. Shall we go take a look?”
After all, building a pharmaceutical factory from scratch would require at least a year.
So Xue An’s suggestion was to try to buy an existing facility.
“Alright then, I’ll come over in a bit!”
Waiting at the designated meeting spot, Xue An noticed that all three of them were dressed in suits and leather shoes, looking every bit the part of successful businessmen, which made him laugh.
“Second Brother, you’re going to wear that?” Qiao Le asked.
“What’s wrong with this?” Xue An looked down at his own slippers.
“Uh… nothing at all! I’m wearing the clothes I bought for a blind date before, and man, it’s really freaking hot!” Qiao Le wiped the sweat beads off his face.
Zhao Xuehui waved his hand, “Let’s go!”
To make a good impression this time, Zhao Xuehui gritted his teeth and rented a BMW.
Xue An sat in the back seat, watching the three excitedly discuss entrepreneurship, and his mood also improved a lot.
His three good friends were all full of drive and didn’t rely on him for everything.
Xue An would just offer a suggestion, and then the three of them would take it from there.
Moreover, they made it clear that half of the company’s shares belonged to Xue An.
Xue An just smiled it off.
If he wanted shares, wouldn’t it be simpler to do it himself?
Once they arrived at their destination, Xue An looked up at the expansive and very modern pharmaceutical factory.
“Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Zhao?” A secretary who had been waiting at the door approached them.
Zhao Xuehui nodded, “That’s me!”
“Please follow me; our chairman is waiting for you in the office!”
They walked across the spacious plaza and arrived in front of a brand-new office building.
“Please wait here for a moment; our chairman is meeting with other clients!”
Zhao Xuehui and his companions sat on the sofa, quietly discussing the upcoming meeting.
Xue An stood by the window, listening quietly.
Even though there were several walls between them, Xue An could still hear the conversation inside if he wanted to.
“I’m telling you, I, Shu Liu, would rather sell this factory at a loss than submit to you!” a woman’s angry voice said.
“Hehe, Chairman Shu, do you think, after offending the Chi Family, anyone else would dare want your factory?” A proud male voice spoke.
“Even if I have to tear down the factory myself, I won’t hand it over to you!”
“Well, you can do as you please, but I’d like to remind you that in Zhongdu, what the Chi Family says is law!” the male voice sneered.
After a bout of footsteps, it seemed these people had left.
Following a long silence, the faint sound of the woman’s sobbing could be heard.
Xue An’s heart stirred, realizing that there really was something going on with this factory.
After a while, the secretary approached and said, “Sorry about the wait, please come with me!”
Xue An took the lead, walking ahead and drawing the secretary’s repeated glances.
After all, Xue An was dressed far too casually, in leisurewear and flip-flops, like he was out for a stroll.
When they entered the office,
a beautifully dressed woman stood up and smiled slightly, “I’m Shu Liu, the chairman of this pharmaceutical factory. My apologies for the delay; there were some matters that needed my attention.”
Xue An glanced at the woman’s face and noticed her slightly red eyes, a clear sign she had just been crying.
“Hello, I’m Zhao Xuehui. How extensive is your factory, and what about the equipment and paperwork?” Zhao Xuehui had obviously done his homework, asking very professional questions.
The two began to discuss various details.
Xue An stood by, his expression unchanging, listening.
The pharmaceutical factory’s facilities, equipment, and all documentation were complete and flawless; the selling price was quite reasonable.
Therefore, Zhao Xuehui was very satisfied in the end.
“Mr. Zhao, if you’re really interested, it would be best to decide now, otherwise, I can’t guarantee that the factory will still be at this price tomorrow!” Shu Liu said softly.
Zhao Xuehui looked at Xue An with an inquiring gaze.
Xue An then looked up, smiled faintly at Shu Liu, “May I ask Chairman Shu, why are you in such a hurry to sell such a
good factory?”
