Chapter 222 - 220: Return

Chapter 222: Chapter 220: Return

Cheng Bo eventually gave in.

Yang Genshuo asked for it too.

Holding a budget list, Yang Genshuo fell into deep thought.

“I knew that a lab involved in genetic engineering would be expensive, but I didn’t know it would be this expensive…”

“Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions… billions? 2 billion? What a foreign unit.”

“Boss, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us.”

Dammit, I let you decide freely, but this freely?

It’s not even about giving once, even giving every day can’t be 2 billion!

Cheng Bo saw something was off with Yang Genshuo’s face and immediately pulled out another list from his bosom.

“That was the plus version; this is the startup version. I can handle a rougher environment, and we can upgrade gradually once we start making money.”

This time the budget was set at 20 million.

Yang Genshuo breathed a sigh of relief.

This unit was at least familiar.

From location selection to lab setup and equipment procurement, everything was included.

“Will it meet my requirements? I’m planning to make 400 kinds of new hybrid plants, just like those medicinal herbs I gave you before.”

“Bro, who asks like that… Others make seeds to fulfill certain functions, and you talk about numbers without specific requirements… can I just make anything?”

“Exactly, just make anything, as long as it’s different.”

“That’s too much… Cultivating once, coming up with a bunch of useless mutations, does that count?”

“Yep! Who knows, the mutations might even turn out better!”

“Oh dear… although that’s the case, it still needs time, you know. That special soil and water you provided can indeed accelerate the seeds’ growth, but the time needed to confirm if they can survive is still required. The seeds I made for you before were already proven cases; I just needed to make minor adjustments, inserting high-yield gene fragments that had been sequenced into the plant cells you provided using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, then cultivating them in petri dishes, no need for further observation and analysis, just handed them over for your use.”

“Creating a bunch of completely unfamiliar plants now, the initial gene sequencing and construction of expression vectors will both take time, and the initial survival rate won’t be high either; these 400 kinds…really are going to take two years.”

Doyen’s words automatically simplified in Yang Genshuo’s ears to: “Oh dear… 400 kinds will take two years.”

“That’s just ridiculous.”

By the time two years have passed, the Dragon God Immortal Palace would have been long gone, and who knows to what Realm the Yang Family would have ascended.

“Is there any way to speed this process up… I only care about quantity, not quality.”

“Although I don’t understand what you’re really up to, for the sake of this lab… I won’t ask why. If it’s really urgent, I’ll just do the initial cultivation of new seeds in the lab and skip all the follow-up work. You take them directly and plant them in your soil, let them grow into whatever they will, and when one succeeds, we’ll document it retrospectively, gonna go with the flow here.”

“Good, let’s do it like that! I’ll fund these 20 million!”

“Do I still need to give it?”

“Screw you! Hurry up and handle the paperwork at the school.”

“Hehe~ I’ve already taken leave.”

“Not directly quitting?”

“No way, in case you get arrested someday, I still need a fallback…”

“…”

In Cheng Bo’s eyes, Yang Genshuo now seemed like an outlaw, secretly tinkering with some terrifying things.

Not to mention, that radioactive soil Yang Genshuo gave him.

Cheng Bo felt its value wasn’t any less than Moon Soil…

It wouldn’t be surprising if the authorities took him away one day.

But he was a scientific researcher; as long as he didn’t betray his country, he couldn’t care less about the complexity of matters, having access to the cutting-edge of research and being able to express his abilities, producing some amazing seeds was his happiest pursuit.

Of course, occasionally giving a foot massage was also wonderful.

“Going for a foot massage later, Bro? My treat today!”

“Not going, I need to make 20 million.”

“Then you keep busy, I’m going to contact people and start spending money, hehe~”

Cheng Bo had his connections in the circle, and setting up a transgenic seed lab was no big problem for him.

Thinking about the independent lab he had long dreamt of being built… Cheng Bo walked down the street and couldn’t help shouting.

“Yay yay yay yay yay!”

20 million, Yang Genshuo really didn’t have it at hand right now.

He did some quick calculations and then called Guo Xiaozhi.

“Sell 60 jars of Star Drunken Dream.”

Guo Xiaozhi, “How did you know I just sold 10 jars?”

“Ah? That cool?”

“Hahaha~ it’s all about the old bringing in the new, mentors and their friends, all wealthy bosses.”

“Keep it up, pack the pills together and sell them to them. The big bosses are making so much money, shouldn’t they enjoy life? Health is the capital of enjoyment.”

“Got it~ I’ll mention it to them when I visit again these days. Our Solid Essence Rejuvenation Pills are quite well-known.”

Most of the money Yang Genshuo is using now comes from selling medicine.

This stuff is simple and efficient; it’s just replenishing.

Although in the long run, it’s not as nourishing as Spiritual Wine, which is enriched with spiritual energy, its advantage is the rapid effect that directly targets the deficient parts.

Making money was left to Guo Xiaozhi, while Yang Genshuo continued to watch over the development of the Yang family.

Time in the game kept speeding up.

A month later, Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo returned to Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.

Long Hong piloted the Treasure Ship flying through the sky. Just as it was about to land, he saw six debt collectors from the Spirit Pavilions waiting for them.

“Little Fu… Be a good acting Pavilion Master, these years, try to make some money for the Spirit Pavilion. Your elder brother-sister and elder uncle have other matters, we will come back another day.”

“Oh…”

Yang Fu, Yang Fushuo, and Du Yuyan were sent down by an Immortal Law together with Long Hong.

Then the Treasure Ship turned sharply in the air and quickly disappeared from Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.

“You thief! Come back! Return the blood and sweat money of the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion!”

“Earth Spirit Pavilion is unfilial!”

“We at the Wood Spirit Pavilion can’t even lift the lid anymore!”

The Treasure Ship flew even faster…

Yang Fu landed outside the Earth Spirit Pavilion with a professional smile under a rainbow light.

“It’s really unfortunate to have caused you inconvenience…”

“I will pass on your requirements to the Pavilion Master…”

“I fully understand your feelings, and we will resolve the issue as quickly as possible…”

His tone was friendly, without any airs of an acting Pavilion Master, leaving others no way to deal with him.

After all, they couldn’t just beat up a Qi Refinement Realm disciple from their own Spirit Pavilion to vent their anger, could they?

If Earth Spirit Pavilion got angry in response… they might just deny the debt outright.

That would be a big loss.

Eventually, Yang Fu managed to persuade everyone to leave.

Yang Fushuo, watching the excitement, clicked his tongue and said, “Older brother, your negotiation skills are quite superb. Where did you learn them from?”

“Taught by our ancestors.”

“How come our ancestor knows everything… I want to be a knowledgeable cultivator like our ancestor in the future.”

“Then you might need to study for another thousand years, but… you’re right about one thing.”

“What’s that?”

“Knowledge is also very important for a cultivator; I plan to let my kids learn more.”

“Sure, I’ll teach my grand nephew spiritual food preparation and alchemy. Having a skill to fall back on means he’ll never starve.”

Yang Fu’s expression changed.

“I must take my leave!”

When he was young, he had only been in a life-threatening situation once… and that was from eating a meal cooked by Yang Fushuo.

He almost vomited his stomach out.

If his own child learned from him… the whole family might lose a few years of their lives.

Yang Fu flew back alone on his Cloud Mist Eagle to their base at Silver Brocade Lake.

Upon his arrival, Shen Yao, who was in charge of the Array, spotted him.

“Why did you come back today, husband?”

Normally, when there were no issues at home, Yang Fu would be cultivating in the sect.

“Hmm, there are some things that need to be arranged. Has Leng Li come back recently?”

“No, elder sister Leng went to seek the great path and probably doesn’t remember this home anymore…” Shen Yao said somewhat discontentedly.
