Chapter 492: Chapter 517: Drug Testing and Promotion
The matter of the Moon Lady had always concerned him.
After all, he had spent quite some time with the little girl.
Her nature and character were good.
She was also Baiyu’s genuine younger apprentice sister.
Yi Xian might have deeper schemes and harsher methods.
But the Moon Lady.
She’s just an ordinary little girl.
If she didn’t have the Black Moon Mark, she would probably have finished school properly, become a corporate slave, found a suitable boyfriend, and gotten married to live her life out.
But with the Black Moon Mark, she basically bid farewell to that kind of life.
Last time, Baiyu heard her say.
As a child, her dream when she grew up was to become a comic artist or a poet.
Then Yi Xian gave her a slap, her favorite, which corrected her thinking.
She was born to be a leader of an evil and secretive organization.
And yet she wanted to take the wrong path.
No wonder Yi Xian got angry.
The Moon Lady’s control over Black Moon Power, and her absorption of it, far exceeded Baiyu.
She seemed born to inherit the Black Moon Power as a genius.
However.
If she didn’t advance soon, she would have to resort to killing Black Moon Apostles to upgrade her Black Moon Mark, to accommodate more Black Moon Power, and avoid her body from bursting.
Regarding this matter, Baiyu was very alert; he absolutely couldn’t let the Moon Lady go down the wrong path.
After Jiang Xi’s reminder, he immediately returned to Villiduo, personally contacted Pang Fei via phone, and secured ten Black Moon Apostles.
Half a month has passed now.
This group is being escorted by soldiers from the Armed Department, rushed to Mountain City via the Shelter’s Teleportation Light Gate and Steam Flying Airship.
At the Earl’s Mansion.
Looking at the ten Black Moon Apostles, Baiyu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
These ten.
Were prisoners in the Extraordinary Prison of Linjiang City, but none were sentenced to death.
They were just imprisoned by the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics’ law enforcement squad for being Black Moon Apostles.
It is worth mentioning.
The Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics, after being severely damaged by Zenith City, seemed incapable of sustaining itself, with intentions of returning to the Mechanical God Church.
According to Pang Fei, both sides are in negotiations.
He also warned Baiyu a bit.
After all, Baiyu once had an unpleasant exchange with one of the Three Holy Swords of the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics, the Silver Blade, August Cavendish.
But.
Baiyu wasn’t the same small figure that could be manipulated by others.
Not to mention the Legendary Ship.
He had the strongest combat power, Yi Xian, by his side, and Ning Huanran from the Ning Family hiding in the shadows; he was not afraid of this charlatan.
"Let’s begin."
Baiyu gave these ten a simple briefing on the situation and then led the first one in line into the Magic Elixir Laboratory.
The Moon Lady and Yi Xian were already waiting inside.
The fact that these ten Black Moon Apostles were chosen by Pang Fei indicated they had sufficient means of control.
They were all planted with Control Spirit Techniques.
With just a thought.
Baiyu could make them suffer terribly and die instantly.
In other words.
These ten were Death Warriors Pang Fei specially sent to Baiyu.
Among them, eight were Tier Seven Martial Artists, with two even reaching Tier Six!
And they bore the Black Moon Mark, making them more dangerous and harder to deal with than ordinary martial artists of the same level.
This gift was undeniably significant.
Among the ten, there were six men and four women.
Baiyu first brought in a female Tier Seven Martial Artist with strong Blood Qi and explained the risks to her.
However.
This Magic Elixir had been verified by Baiyu.
If a real Black Moon Apostle consumed it, there shouldn’t be any major issues.
The woman didn’t hesitate and downed the Night Watcher Magic Elixir instantly.
No unexpected mutation occurred.
The woman’s complexion changed, emitting a strange aura, and the Black Moon Mark beneath her skin surfaced like a branding iron.
Gradually.
Her crescent-shaped Black Moon Mark became rounder, enlarged, eventually expanding to the size of a ping-pong ball.
As the potion’s effect continued to take place.
A small part of the full Black Moon pattern began to fade and peel.
In the end.
A mysterious eye pattern, formed by arcs and lines, emerged.
It looked like a meticulously crafted tattoo.
This scene was fully captured in the eyes of Baiyu, the Moon Lady, and Yi Xian.
Every step of the transformation was clear.
Once the eye pattern was fully formed.
The potion’s power left the woman, and the mysterious aura surrounding her dissipated.
"How do you feel?"
Baiyu asked urgently.
"I... I think I’ve successfully ascended.
Originally, Sequence Eight for Black Moon Apostles, called Night Watcher.
The Night Watcher can control the normal use of some Black Moon Power.
And one won’t be influenced by the Black Moon to lose their sanity and kill their kin."
The woman explained.
By killing kin, she referred to the Black Moon Apostles engaging in mutual slaughter.
If this were true.
It indicated that this ascension sequence was the true Black Moon Sequence, without any errors!
"Additionally, I seem to have acquired night vision, and my senses have become sharper!"
The woman added again.
Having ascended successfully, she was greatly pleased in her heart.
To most people, the Black Moon Mark was torment, yet today she had effortlessly resolved the curse.
"Count’s great favor, I’m willing to go through fire and brimstone to repay."
After her brief excitement, the woman quickly knelt down, tears streaming down as she bent over to kowtow to Baiyu.
"Stop."
Baiyu held her shoulder, saying:
"I originally called you here to test the potion, so there’s no talk of favor or not.
You were captured by the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics because you were uncontrollable Black Moon Apostles, belonging to the Underground Transcendent.
Now.
Although your status is still as Underground Transcendent.
You can control the Black Moon Power and not commit wanton slaughter, generally no one will bother you.
If you work for me for ten years, I’ll set you free, letting you choose your future life.
During these ten years.
The materials for your usual cultivation and ascension, I will provide.
However.
You must not disclose any information regarding the Magic Elixir.
And you must not disobey my orders.
Can you do that?"
Baiyu’s tone was very calm.
The woman, however, was greatly startled, hurriedly kneeling: "With the Count’s great favor of reconstruction, how dare I defy his orders."
"Hmm, what’s your name?"
"Qingyu."
"Alright, then go out first, call the next person, and have the guards outside take you to find Erin."
Baiyu instructed.
He had plenty of the Sequence Eight Night Watcher Magic Elixir in his hands.
The cost to concoct one bottle was about ten thousand to twenty thousand.
For Baiyu, who had just seized the Black Water Gang, this amount was insignificant.
Thus.
After two rounds of repeat testing.
Both ascensions were successful, and Baiyu and Yi Xian finally confirmed that this Magic Elixir was reliable.
Next.
It was the Moon Lady’s ascension ceremony.
Yet her ascension was more perilous than the other two.
Just by standing on the side, Baiyu and Yi Xian could feel the Black Moon Power surging through her.
Fortunately.
The entire process ultimately went smoothly without danger.
