Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Director Li sat in the spacious conference room, his brows slightly furrowed, a hint of urgency in his eyes. He turned to look at Xu Hao sitting opposite him, his tone urgent: "Let's get down to business, Xu Hao. Could you increase the supply and production of your pills, talismans, scrolls, and medicines? The Bureau of Mysteries can provide any assistance you need."

Xu Hao pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the other colleagues in the conference room, then nodded, his tone firm: "I will definitely do my best. In addition, I'd like to experiment with some new products. These might involve some rare medicinal herbs, so it probably won't be easy..."

Upon hearing this, Director Li raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone revealing an undeniable determination: "Rare? Then find it for me worldwide! If the demand is large, organize people to cultivate it specifically!" He slammed his hand on the table and continued, "If the yield is low, organize a research team to tackle the problem and see how to increase the yield!" His voice echoed in the conference room, carrying an unquestionable sense of authority.

He took a deep breath, looked around at everyone in the conference room, his gaze firm and sharp: "Old Zheng, Xu Hao, we're at war! And it's a war concerning the life and death of humanity. Don't be petty!" His tone was full of urgency and a sense of mission, as if he wanted to convey this feeling to everyone present.

Director Zheng, who had been listening quietly, leaned forward slightly and joined the conversation. His voice was deep and steady: "The new alchemy workshop is ready. This time it's larger in scale and the equipment is more advanced." He paused, his gaze sweeping across the conference room, seemingly assessing everyone's reaction. "In a little while, everyone can go for a tour."

Director Li nodded, and Director Zheng arranged for vehicles, and everyone drove to the new production base.

The group drove into a vast industrial park, where rows of modern factory buildings came into view. The vehicle slowly stopped in front of a specially marked workshop, and everyone got out. Zheng Jinqiang led the way, guiding everyone into the workshop.

The workshop is spacious and bright, with a faint herbal scent in the air. Various advanced equipment are neatly arranged, and robotic arms operate flexibly on the automated production line, producing pills of Gu Yuan Dan and Qing Shen Dan in an orderly fashion. Each pill is precisely measured and tested to ensure accurate quality.

Xu Hao stood to the side, his gaze intently observing the production process. He would occasionally reach out and gently touch the pills slowly sliding along the assembly line, feeling the texture and temperature of each one. Each pill underwent precise proportions and rigorous processes, its surface smooth, its color uniform, and it emitted a faint medicinal fragrance, demonstrating exceptional quality and near-perfect quality control.

The higher the quality of the elixir, the less energy Xu Hao would need when empowering it.

Director Zheng walked up to the group and confidently began to explain the workshop's operation in detail: "This workshop is our latest construction project, which uses the world's most advanced equipment and technology." He pointed to the center of the workshop, where the robotic arms and automated devices gleamed with metallic luster. "These devices can achieve fully intelligent operation, from the fine grinding of raw materials to the packaging of finished products. Every step is strictly monitored and optimized."

His voice echoed in the workshop, clear and steady. "Production capacity has increased more than tenfold," he continued, his tone revealing pride in his team and confidence in the future. "This means we can respond to demands more quickly and provide more high-quality pills." Director Zheng's gaze swept around the room.

Afterwards, Director Zheng led everyone to a special laboratory, which displayed the talismans provided by Xu Hao and various experimental equipment.

He pointed to a huge talisman pattern on the wall and continued, "We plan to establish a dedicated research institution to study the patterns and energy structures on these talismans." His fingers traced the intricate lines on the talisman.

"Our goal is to combine these mysterious powers with modern firearms to see if we can inflict greater damage on the uncanny," Director Zheng said in a deep and firm voice, as if he were outlining a grand plan.

It's clear that Director Li is very satisfied with the work of the ZZ branch. In just a few days, they have built such a large factory and equipment, which shows their dedication and hard work.

However, Director Li had another important purpose for this trip: to witness Xu Hao's alchemy skills firsthand. After all, Zheng Jinqiang's report was written in a very mystical style; how could he not see such a significant matter in person?

The report was brief. The so-called alchemy was actually Xu Hao using his unique alchemy technique to empower the already refined pills, completing the final step of condensing the pills.

Shouldn't we broaden our horizons a bit?

The group entered the warehouse, where they were greeted by mountains of two kinds of pills, neatly arranged in the storeroom. Xu Hao stood in the center of the warehouse, his expression focused, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavy because of his presence.

He took a deep breath, slowly raising his hands, palms facing the pills. With his movement, an invisible energy surged in the air, as if a faint halo emanated from his body. Xu Hao's gaze was intense as he stared at the pills before him, then he closed his eyes, focusing on the power deep within his heart.

The atmosphere inside the warehouse gradually shifted, as if time had stood still. Xu Hao softly chanted an ancient incantation, his voice flowing like a gentle stream into every corner. As the incantation was chanted, his hand gestures became more complex and fluid, as if he were performing a silent dance.

Suddenly, a faint light emanated from the area where the pills were piled up, gradually growing brighter until the entire warehouse was illuminated by this mysterious light. The pills seemed to come alive at that moment, their surfaces glowing with a soft sheen, as if responding to Xu Hao's call.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xu Hao's forehead, but his expression remained focused and resolute. His hand gesture drew a final arc in the air, and with that movement, all the light suddenly converged, focusing onto each pill. In an instant, the entire warehouse fell silent, only the surface of the pills still shimmering faintly, indicating that they had been imbued with new power.

During the empowerment process, Xu Hao gradually felt an unprecedented sense of exhaustion welling up from the depths of his body. His hands remained in complex hand gestures, moving with the chanting of the incantation, but he could clearly feel that the energy within his body was being rapidly depleted. Each change in gesture seemed to draw more power from his body.

Alchemy doesn't usually consume much mana, but this time it went on a massive scale, and Xu Hao's mana couldn't keep up.

Oh no, is this how it is for my first time performing in front of the boss?
