Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Let's consider both sides of the story, focusing on one side only.

Ma Dalang returned to the Ma family ancestral hall and used magic to summon Sima Yan.

Inside the ancestral hall, Ma Dalang stood before the ancestral tablets of the Ma clan members, offering incense to them.

Standing in the center of the ancestral hall was a young woman in a red dress. Her face was both pure and charming. She was Sima Yan, but she had not changed her body. Instead, she was still in her former loli body, and after ten years of development, she had matured.

Sima Yan smiled, lifted her skirt, and bowed slightly: "Young Master Ma, what urgent matter has summoned me for?"

Ma Dalang was used to it by now. Without turning his head, he said while burning incense, "The drug trial project should be stopped immediately. Continuing to do it will only backfire and become unmanageable."

Sima Yan cupped his hands around his stomach and smiled slightly: "Understood, Young Master Ma."

Ma Dalang turned his head and glanced at her, then waved his hand and said, "Get lost."

Sima Yan smiled but remained silent, standing still.

Ma Dalang frowned slightly: "Why haven't you gone to take care of your business yet?"

Sima Yan smiled and extended a hand: "Young Master Ma, it's time to pay last month's wages. Also, please pay me overtime pay, bonuses, and allowances together."

Upon hearing this, Ma Dalang hissed and gritted his teeth, saying, "Can't you just get things done first? We're in a real crisis, and all you're doing is asking me for your wages. Do you think I, a big boss, would owe you that little bit of money?"

Sima Yan clicked his tongue: "Tsk, Young Master Ma, if you don't pay me and want me to work for free, it's not easy for me. You know, the economy is bad right now, it's hard to make money, and I'm in a hurry to get the money."

Ma Dalang was furious. He strode up to Sima Yan and glared at her, looking like he wanted to devour her.

However, Sima Yan smiled without any fear. He even reached out and pinched Ma Dalang's pectoral muscles with interest, teasingly saying, "Young Master Ma, your pectoral muscles are really big and strong, even bigger than mine."

Ma Dalang's face turned black with anger. He flipped his palm over and took out a stack of banknotes, slapping them onto Sima Yan's palm: "Damn it, you pervert, get your job done. If you touch me again, I'll break your legs."

"Alright, esteemed Boss Ma, your loyal employee is at your beck and call." Sima Yan immediately changed his form of address after receiving the money, bowed with a beaming smile, and slowly retreated, leaving the ancestral hall.

The scene shifts, and Ma Dalang arrives at the secret underground research base of the crematorium. This base has been transformed into many independent laboratories, where the Ma family's medical research team is conducting their daily research.

Ma Dalang entered the top-secret archives room to review experimental data, followed by Ren Wuji.

Ma Dalang said intently, "The third-generation immortality elixir of the Rock Corpse still has huge flaws."

Ren Wuji lowered his head and served behind him, calmly saying, "Young Master, it was expected that the drug trial would encounter problems, but we did not expect it to cause such a big commotion. However, every cloud has a silver lining. Although the trial of the Rock Corpse Three Generations Immortal Medicine failed, it created a virus that is powerful enough to destroy a city."

"If deployed to any battlefield in the future, our side will have a large number of Fiend-level zombies to assist us."

Ma Dalang said calmly, "What I need is not defective products."

Ren Wuji lowered his head and said, "Yes, I will strive to continue to improve the third-generation immortality elixir of the Rock Corpse."

Ma Dalang hummed in agreement and continued to look down at the experimental data.

All of these experimental data are about human drug trials.

The Rock Corpse Third Generation Virus has been successfully applied to Experiment Subject 606.

No matter how many pieces the experimental subject No. 606 was cut into, its flesh and bones could reassemble. Even if only a drop of blood remained, it could be replenished through blood-based nutrition, promoting rapid proliferation and restoration to its original state.

As the third-generation Rock Corpse virus continues to multiply within the body, the physical body of Experiment Subject 606 will be comprehensively enhanced, while retaining its own consciousness and emotions, meaning it will be able to perform magical arts and supernatural powers.

During combat, Experiment No. 606 can greatly enhance its combat capabilities for a short period of time. Coupled with its unparalleled immortality and the characteristic of never decaying, it has no rivals of the same level and is a pure monster.

Moreover, Experiment No. 606 is not infectious. Even if someone is bitten by Experiment No. 606, it will not affect others with the Rock Corpse Third Generation Virus.

Although such a powerful life form was born from the hands of Ma Dalang and Ren Wuji, it still could not break through the limitations of its realm, because there is an insurmountable gap between realms.

Each advancement in realm represents a fundamental leap in one's life level. No matter how perfect or powerful Experiment Subject 606 was, it could only reign supreme within the realm of Devouring Fiends.

However, Ma Dalang didn't care. The success of Experiment No. 606 meant that the path to immortality was feasible. As long as they continued to study, modify, and develop it, they could create the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh generations of Rock Corpses. As long as the huge potential could be tapped, Ma Dalang felt it was worth a try.

However, it is not enough that the Rock Corpse III virus only succeeded in the experimental subject No. 606.

Because people's bodies are different, even the most similar twins have subtle differences.

Therefore, a large number of people are needed to test the drug, and it is also necessary to find cultivators at the Devouring Fiend Realm to test the drug, in order to determine whether the Rock Corpse Third Generation can really be applied to every Devouring Fiend Realm cultivator.

If possible, then based on the success of the third generation of Rock Corpse, we can continue to research and modify it, develop multiple uses, and eventually create a truly perfect elixir of immortality for Ma Dalang to consume.

However, arresting unregistered cultivators at the Food Fiend Realm one by one to test the medicine would be too slow. The mass disappearance of a large number of Food Fiend Realm cultivators would also cause a great commotion. If even one of them escaped during the arrest, it would backfire.

Instead, we should proactively distribute the Rock Corpse Third Generation Immortality Elixir to some unregistered cultivators at the Food Fiend Realm, observe and collect their physical data, and address any problems immediately.

However, the third-generation immortality elixir of the Rock Corpse caused a rejection reaction in Gong Yuluo's body, and even a sudden mutation caused the third-generation Rock Corpse virus to mutate, becoming highly infectious and lethal, and accidentally killing an official.

This escalated the situation dramatically in an effort to suppress the drug trial.

Ren Wuji subtly tampered with the autopsy report, making no mention of the third-generation Rock Corpse virus.

Sima Yan secretly searched for Gong Yuluo, intending to completely eliminate her and create an unsolved case, thereby preventing the situation from deteriorating and avoiding bringing the drug trial to light.

However, after Gong Yulu lost control and killed the official, he immediately went into hiding and could not be found by anyone, including Sima Yan. At the same time, Yang Jianxin, who had been bitten to death, turned into a corpse and indirectly caused the Yang Family Village tragedy.

Zhou Qingfeng eventually discovered the drug trial and reported it to the First Lady in the council chamber, which meant that the matter could no longer be suppressed.

Ma Dalang had no choice but to go with the flow and support Zhou Qingfeng in continuing the investigation.

Ren Wuji's face was deathly pale, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he were suffering from severe kidney deficiency: "Young Master, I'm worried that if Zhou Silang continues his investigation, it might implicate us. Do you want me to do something?"

Ma Dalang turned his head and glanced at him: "What do you want to do?"

Ren Wuji calmly said, "Destroy the evidence, kill everyone to silence them, and get rid of all those who know the truth."
