at the same time……
call out--
A flying motorcycle streaked across the sky. The mountains here seemed to float in the air, highlighting the mystery and unpredictability of the place. This was the location of [Taiyuan].
“Number, requesting entry permission.” A-San held the handlebars with one hand and placed the other on the invisible communicator near her ear.
"Checking...number..."
"Code name: Umbrella, Level 2 access granted, verification successful..."
boom--
With a burst of speed, Ah San rode his flying motorcycle into the waterfall. Inside, there was a secret passage, which was the true entrance to [Taiyuan]. It looked like it would be difficult for anyone who wasn't an insider to find it.
铩——
Ah San extended his long legs, using them as both foot and handbrakes, and performed a near-perfect drift in the dark passage, creating a shower of sparks and successfully bringing the high-speed flying motorcycle to a halt.
"Number, welcome back from the mission."
"Phew..." Ah San let out a long breath, took off her wet straw hat, tossed her red hair, and her emerald eyes sparkled. "Finally back..."
A-San, 19 years old. (Slightly different from the original story; this is the work of the Lu family patriarch, who accelerated the development from an embryonic stage a year ahead of schedule.)
Star Soul is Lu Bu's host, an assassin (container) trained by the secret organization [Taiyuan].
Step, step, step, step.
Ah San walked forward with his hands in his pockets. Around the corner, a little girl with a bun hairstyle was running towards him, and they bumped into each other.
"Well……"
"Waaaaah... Senior Sister A-San... Waaaaah..." The little girl with the bun hairstyle threw herself into A-San's arms, crying and shouting, "You're finally back... Waaaaah..."
"Compass?" A hint of doubt appeared in A-San's eyes.
Si Nan, 12 years old.
A-San's fellow disciple was wearing a gray hoodie with an eye-shaped pattern in the middle, orange mid-length socks below the knee, a band-aid on her knee, and gray shoes.
“(┭┮﹏┭┮) Waaaaah… Oh no… Waaaah…”
"Si Nan? Didn't you go to Beizhou with your master?" A-San was startled by the sudden turn of events and looked slightly flustered. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Woooo..."
“Master…Master…” Si Nan said, wiping away tears, “To save me…she fell into the trap set by that treacherous Mi Lun… Waaaaah…”
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, Ah San was struck dumb, and her face instantly turned ugly.
"Quick! Take me there!"
With a "thud," the straw hat fell to the ground.
"Hmm...in the third medical ward..."
At this moment, in the third medical zone.
"The 12th antidote preparation test..."
"fail…"
"Beginning the 13th drug preparation test..."
The facility is fully equipped, and all kinds of life-saving equipment have been used on the woman in the hospital bed.
Ding--
The door opened, and Ah San called out anxiously, "Master!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman on the bed opened her eyes, which had lost their luster.
"Master?! How could this be?" A-San rushed to the bedside, her face full of concern and disbelief. "You are a Heavenly Rank expert... how could this be...?"
Si Nan: Waaah… (┭┮﹏┭┮)
"Is...is it Umbrella?" The woman turned her head with difficulty, managing a weak smile. "Heh...it's good that you're back safe and sound..."
Suoniang, 37 years old.
Early stage of the Heavenly Realm, Taiyuan's ace assassin.
A-San and Si-Nan's master.
At this moment, dark purple lines gradually spread across the woman's hands.
Ah San noticed this and exclaimed, "Master? You've been poisoned?"
"Ugh…"
"Miss A-San, Senior Suo-Niang has fallen into an ambush set by the Mi-Lun people..." The medical staff held up an electronic medical record. "Her external injuries are mostly healed, but a strange toxin is eroding Senior Suo-Niang's Star Soul Meridians..."
"what?"
"Eroding the Star Soul's two meridians?" A-San's face darkened, her emerald eyes filled with panic. "What kind of poison is this? Is it possible that even with the technology of Taiyuan, we can't concoct an antidote?"
The medical staff shook their heads. "Unfortunately... we've tried to prepare the medication 12 times, all to no avail... Currently, we can only use filtration technology to prevent the toxins from entering the brain... but even so, we may not have much time left to try..."
After speaking, he pointed to the large screen displaying the patients' conditions, "Please look here. This seems to be a new type of toxin born in this era. No corresponding antidote can be found in Taiyuan's knowledge base..."
At this point, a magnified view of the toxin unit appeared on the screen.
"Actually, looking at the structure of this toxin, the chemical substances are intricately linked by soul power, forming toxin units..."
After a pause, he continued, "I think this technique... is somewhat similar to the methods used by alchemists in recent civilizations..."
"An alchemist? Pills?" A-San was somewhat shocked, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes. "You mean an alchemist might have a way to detoxify Master?"
The medical staff member said, "Yes, but it's a pity that alchemy is developing slowly in the Eastern Continent. Moreover, alchemy is a technique that almost entirely relies on the alchemist's experience and intuition, making it difficult for Taiyuan's medical AI system to learn and apply it..."
"Medicine..."
Ah San kept repeating those two words as she began to recall.
She remembered that the man who called himself her "older brother" had forced a bunch of random pills into her mouth before she left, telling her to take them on her journey.
dig.
Thinking of all this, Ah San took out a storage talisman and anxiously called out, "I have some pills here, see if any of them are usable..."
wow-
A jumble of bottles and jars fell out of the storage talisman, each containing pills with different effects.
"!?!" Medical staff member A was extremely shocked.
Medical staff member B exclaimed, "This...so much!"
Immediately afterwards, the two began to identify the pills.
"This bottle contains the Rejuvenation Pill, a three-star healing elixir!"
"I don't recognize this, but it should increase cultivation efficiency..."
"This red one is for increasing soul power for an extremely long time..."
"..."
“This bottle that’s shimmering with silver light…” Medical staff member A pulled down their mask, sniffed it, and immediately handed it to staff member B next to them. “Quick! Analyze this bottle that’s shimmering with silver light; it might have detoxifying properties…”
"Yes!"
At this moment, Si Nan's eyes widened, and he asked, "Senior Sister A-San... how do you have so many pills? You didn't rob the Hong Clan's pharmacy, did you?"
"How could that be..." Ah San shook her head slightly, then smiled as she thought of the red-haired man. "Your senior sister wouldn't dare do that. These were all gifts from my 'brother'..."
"Senior sister's brother?" Si Nan tilted her head, thinking for a long time but still couldn't think of such a person. After all, Taiyuan was an assassin organization that only recruited orphans.
At this time, the analysis of the elixir also yielded results.
"The unit structure of the elixir matches the unit structure of the toxin..."
"It...it works!"
"The silver light of the Silver Light Pill can neutralize the toxin units!"
"That's great!" Si Nan's face immediately lit up with joy. "Does this mean Master can be saved?!"
Medical staff member A said, "According to the calculations of the medical AI, neutralizing the toxins in Senior Sister Suo Niang requires 0.25 Silver Light Pills... Just take a fingernail's worth from any pill! Quickly give Senior the medicine!"
"quick……!"
Medical staff member A scooped out a fingernail-sized amount of powder, while medical staff member B held a glass of water.
Seeing this, A-San pinched her pretty chin and began to think, "Why would my brother give me such a valuable pill? Could it be... that he knows Master is in trouble?... Just who is my brother?"
……
Taiyuan Headquarters - Audience Corridor.
Tread, step, step.
This is a room composed of numerous high-tech modules, with pale blue light flowing on the walls and floor, and a hooded figure walking in the corridor.
"Master High Priest!"
He walked up to the stairs and knelt on one knee.
An elderly woman in white, known as the "High Priestess," stood on the altar, surrounded by virtual screens displaying images and videos of Lü Fengxian and Song Yunxiang.
"Hmm," the high priest said in a calm, unwavering voice, "How is the straw raincoat girl doing?"
The hooded man respectfully replied, "Reporting to your Excellency, the physician administered the elixir that Asan obtained from S692 to the woman in the raincoat, and the strange toxin she suffered from has been brought under control..."
"692..."
"Lü Fengxian..." the High Priest murmured softly, his fingers moving to retrieve data, "A clone of the Primordial Star Soul General... This should be a technique only that great one possesses..."
"No...this isn't a copy..."
"This is... a completely different Primordial Star Soul General... This is impossible!?"
"..."
"Lü Fengxian... Lü Fengxian... Who exactly is he?"
"His appearance...could it be...that defective [container] that shouldn't exist?"
"I never thought... he would still be alive after the Primal Star Soul was stripped away..." (I originally thought he would have died from the pain of the stripping away... but he actually survived...)
That's right, the high priest had no idea that 'Lü Fengxian' had been strolling around Taiyuan. After all, a powerful being at the half-step god level could enter unnoticed and use cloning technology without anyone noticing...
Even now, the high priest only believes that a 'mysterious person' stole the [container] from back then, but fortunately, the [container] was recovered in time, and he also gained the Star Soul General Lu Bu.
“Song Yunxiang…this is the real clone, the Primal Star Soul General…”
A bold idea popped into the high priest's mind: "Could it be that this ordinary male body has already been possessed by the Lord?"
At this moment, the virtual screen displayed Song Yunxiang and A-San.
"Why don't you use the container I prepared for you...?"
(Is it really you who's back, Doctor?)
