The following afternoon, Bai Sui received a reply from China, deciding to contact Bai Sui.
Yes, after Bai Sui explained his cooperation method to Section 13, he sent the same conditions back to China. However, unlike simply returning various True Magic- related items to Section 13, Bai Sui also gave China some related technologies as an option.
Aircraft carriers, spaceships, supercomputers—these are all things that can be traded. It's just that this world doesn't have Chakra Metal, which limits a lot of technology due to material limitations. Otherwise, Bai Sui could offer even more things in exchange.
As for extracting the structure of Chakra Metal and having it synthesized domestically, while it's not impossible, the difficulty is simply too great, and the cost outweighs the potential gain.
In fact, when they first received Bai Sui's message, they didn't believe it at all. After all, what Bai Sui said about being sensible was too fantastical. However, after receiving Bai Sui's talisman, they changed their minds.
After a brief trial in China, it was immediately confirmed that what was in front of them was genuine. On one hand, experts from all walks of life in China were gathered, and on the other hand, preparations were made to negotiate with Bai Sui.
After finally contacting relevant cultivators in China, it was verified that Bai Sui's talismans were of extremely high quality, and could only be drawn by a master-level figure.
In fact, it's not that countries don't pay attention to these True Magic; it's just that with the archmages choosing to retire, the mages that countries can find aren't actually that powerful. So, although they know that mages exist, they don't pay much attention to them.
However, the talismans that Bai Sui sent included one that could release a fireball at over 3,000 degrees Celsius, a temperature high enough to vaporize metal, and another that was even more extraordinary, capable of lowering the temperature in a cubic meter of space to an ultra-low temperature of minus 270 degrees Celsius.
While these things can be achieved using technology, they are generally done in a laboratory environment and cannot be accomplished so easily.
It can be said that the mere appearance of these two talismans has inspired experts and scholars to consider many application scenarios. Such convenient talismans can save a lot of experimental equipment and make it possible to further advance many experiments that are limited by the environment.
So after Bai Sui made contact with the domestic authorities, the first thing they said was that they hoped Bai Sui could come and live in the country. Especially after they used their various resources to find out some information about Bai Sui, their enthusiasm became even higher.
After all, based on the intelligence they obtained, Bai Sui was Chinese, although he lived more than two hundred years ago. They believed that Bai Sui would prefer to return to China, since the idea of returning to one's roots is ingrained in the Chinese people.
However, Bai Sui ultimately refused. It wasn't that she was unwilling to go to China, but rather that she told the Chinese authorities about the emergence of the demons and let them make their own choice. After all, because of the Shendu, the demons were now mostly causing trouble on United States soil.
If Bai Sui is to return to China, in order to ensure that the inheritance of the Eight Immortals can be obtained, Bai Sui will naturally not let the Shendu continue to stay in the United States. Instead, he will keep him under his watchful eye. If demons cause trouble again, it will be in China, and all the losses will have to be borne by China.
Meanwhile, back home, they learned about the existence of demons from relevant individuals. After verifying what Bai Sui had said, they also clarified many strange things that had happened before. After all, through satellite and other channels, they had also seen some images of demons or True Magic life forms. At the time, they thought that the United States was developing some kind of biotechnology.
Therefore, the domestic side expressed its willingness to respect Bai Sui 'Bai Sui choice and agreed to cooperate with Bai Sui. In order to show its sincerity, it even took the initiative to share the relevant magical information it had with Bai Sui.
In return, Bai Sui gave the country a lot of talismans and technology. The country was amazed by these technologies, which were obviously out of step with their current era. After all, in their opinion, Bai Sui from two hundred years ago should not have possessed such technology. However, seeing that Bai Sui did not say anything, they wisely did not ask, since the Sickle all genuine.
Although the Shendu's Compendium of Spells recorded 90% of the Ki Magic of that time, True Magic in this world is not limited to Ki Magic alone. There are also mental True Magic that specialize in cultivating consciousness, which are not recorded in the Compendium of Spells.
Even with Ki Magic, in the many years since the Shendu, there have been many new and improved True Magic, all of which are what Bai Sui needs.
Even with the same True Magic, different people have different interpretations, and these different interpretations often bring Bai Sui many new ideas, which is what Bai Sui wants most.
After all, when he was in the Ninja World, he suffered from not having any like-minded people to communicate with. Now, the appearance of these True Magic can be seen by Bai Sui as someone who cultivates a different path from him, discussing the Dao with him. Although it is not as clear as a face-to-face discussion, it still broadens Bai Sui's knowledge and horizons.
"Bang bang bang..."
A knock on the door interrupted Bai Sui's thoughts, pulling him out of the book in front of him. "Hello, who is it?"
Bai Sui came out of the house and, seeing that it was Jade knocking on the door, led her into the room, helped her sit down, and poured her a glass of apple juice. "It's Jade. What brings you here today?"
Jade downed her juice in one gulp, put the glass back on the table, and pointed to the television on the wall. "TV! I saw Uncle Long and Valmont on TV! They went to the Rocket launch site in Florida!"
Bai Sui then turned on the TV and, as Jade had instructed, found the channel broadcasting the Rocket launch live. The screen showed the Rocket taking off, and through the live stream, it appeared that someone without any protective suit was jumping back and forth inside the Rocket.
This person, during the Rocket's multi-stage separation, was able to withstand the high temperature and pressure, neither losing consciousness nor lacking oxygen, and climb and jump upwards step by step—he's practically a superman!
"Oh no, that's Uncle Long!" Jade immediately recognized the person climbing—it was none other than Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan.
Without a second thought, Jade jumped off the chair, ready to run into Section 13 to "borrow" a talisman, as it was the best solution she could think of.
"Don't worry," Bai Sui grabbed Jade, "You don't need the talisman. Going to get it now would be a waste of time."
"But, Uncle Long..." Jade was still very worried about Jackie Chan.
Bai Sui drew a circle with his right hand, and a green portal appeared. Just as he was about to lead Jade inside, a phone call came in.
Bai Sui took out her phone and saw it was an antique shop calling, "Something bad has Jackie Chan just called me and said he's on the Rocket and discovered that Shendu are trying to unleash the Moon Demon. Can you go help Jackie Chan? I'll prepare the True Magic to seal the Moon Demon."
Looking at Jade, who was staring at him expectantly, Bai Sui said into the phone, "No problem, and there's no need to prepare any True Magic. I'm planning to go straight to the moon, and I'll just seal it there. Oh, by the way, Jade is with me. After hearing your call, she insisted on going too, so I'm taking her with me..."
After explaining Jade's whereabouts to his father, Bai Sui led Jade through the portal and they arrived at Valmont and the others' destination: the space station.
"Cool! The space station uses rotation to provide centripetal force, thus mimicking gravity on Earth. I've decided to make this my science homework!" Jade was very excited inside the space station.
It was also thanks to Bai Sui's clever tricks in blocking the two of them from the surveillance footage before they entered; otherwise, Jade's jumping and hopping around would have been noticed by Earth.
Soon, the spaceship carrying Jackie Chan and his crew arrived outside the space station and completed the bridging operation.
Interestingly, the spaceship's original passenger was a trained monkey sent to the space station for experiments.
Valmont and his group entered the space station. It can only be said that these people were wasting their talents by joining the Dark Hand. The members were all very talented. Not only could they easily withstand the powerful acceleration without any training, but they could also figure out how to operate the space station's equipment after a simple study and cut off the space station's connection with Earth.
Meanwhile, the people on Earth assumed it was caused by accidentally touching the monkey while holding it in space, and they criticized the person who initially suggested putting the monkey alone on the space station.
Bai Sui, along with Jade, found Jackie Chan. When Jackie Chan first saw the two of them, Jackie Chan was so shocked that he was speechless.
" Jade saw you in danger on TV, that's why she came to me for help." As if knowing what Jackie Chan wanted to ask, Bai Sui said it in advance.
After Jackie Chan and Jade changed into spacesuits, they found Zhou, who was alone, holding the Pangu Box, the key to unleash the demons.
Jackie Chan acted almost instinctively, taking a step forward and punching the other man's helmet while snatching the treasure box from Zhou's hand.
The sound of the helmet striking immediately attracted Valmont and the others' attention, and they quickly noticed something was wrong. Zhou, who was holding the Pangu Box, was nowhere to be seen. Valmont and the others rushed to the place where the sound came from and saw Jackie Chan and the others.
Upon seeing Valmont and the others arrive, Jackie Chan immediately threw the Pangu Box into the double-layered door of the space station. Jade giggled, pressed the button on the wall, opened the outermost hatch, and let the box float into space with the air.
" A-Fu, go and get it back!" Seeing that the treasure box was indeed floating in space, Shendu immediately took over Valmont's body and commanded his subordinates.
"As for you two idiots, hurry up and control Jackie Chan and the others, especially don't give that sorcerer any time to cast True Magic." The Shendu hadn't forgotten the methods Bai Sui used when dealing with Tso Lan, so he didn't step forward himself.
Bai Sui didn't really care, and even intended to wait for the demon to appear, so naturally he wouldn't use his power to eliminate Valmont and the others at this time.
So Jackie Chan chased after A-Fu to space to fight for the Pangu Box, while Bai Sui flicked his right hand, and a vine extended from the ground in front of the mountain, playing with Valmont and the others.
Just as Jackie Chan and A-Fu were engaged in their 'battle' in space, the little monkey, the protagonist of this space experiment, quietly left the space station and picked up the Pangu Box right in front of Jackie Chan and Ah Fu.
As luck would have it, the little monkey arrived at the location of the seal as soon as it returned to the space station. The Pangu Box immediately emitted a green light and opened the gate to hell.
At this moment, A-Fu and Jackie Chan, who were fighting in space, returned to the space station and happened to witness the appearance of this Moon Demon.
This demon, dressed in a reddish-purple robe, with crimson eyes and four arms, is a tall, humanoid demon with long purple hair and a long, snake-like tongue sticking out of his mouth. His attire is very oriental, somewhat similar to Ming Dynasty clothing. He is the eldest of the other seven demons, the Moon Demon— Tso Lan.
" Tso Lan, it's been so long since we last met." Upon seeing this person, the Shendu seemed to have found his pillar of support, and immediately abandoned his entanglement with Bai Sui, rushing over.
Tso Lan looked down at the Shendu: "Save the pleasantries, Shendu. I just want to control the moon's gravity as soon as possible so that this thing can get off its orbit."
"What? This will destroy Earth's ecosystem!" Jade exclaimed immediately.
"How did you know?" Razo from the Dark Hand was pleased that Jade had such insight.
Jade was speechless, feeling that the other person was really missing the point. "It's good to watch the Science Channel."
"This child is right. By then, I might prefer what Earth looks like," Tso Lan said, indicating that Jade's guess was correct and that was exactly what he thought.
"Ah, he wants to destroy the Earth? And you still made us release him?" The other members of the Dark Hand were speechless and began to criticize Shendu.
The Shendu completely ignored the clamor of his subordinates and said to them, "You should be glad you're not on Earth!"
Tso Lan scanned the crowd and looked at Bai Sui: "Are you Jackie Chan?"
"No, no, no, he is." The Shendu quickly pointed to Jackie Chan next to Bai Sui.
"Very well, today you will know what kind of fate awaits the enemy of the devil." Tso Lan had obviously heard a lot about Shendu from Jackie Chan before, so he decided to deal with this guy who had been hindering their recovery of power first.
" Bai Sui, can you use your Ki Magic to seal him back into Hell?" Jackie Chan looked at Bai Sui with hopeful eyes.
