The Richest Man in Beihai (Six Thousand

Jiang Si had actually wanted to try to reach Full Bloom for a long time.

However, the danger of his first attempt at Full Bloom forced him to stop.

Many things happened afterward—including the Iris incident—which convinced Jiang Si that the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau truly had a solid foundation.

The Incubators can not only forcibly help magical girls Full Bloom, but also forcibly seize the power and life of magical girls at Full Bloom.

Isn't this just forced indoctrination?

Even in the Immortal Realm of cultivation, reaching a high realm in one go without a solid foundation is tantamount to courting death.

Basically, it's either a case of the superior finding a scapegoat for the inferior, or becoming bait; a sigh can change a world, a curse can bring prosperity or Withering and Flourishing.

The problem lies in the subsequent forced appropriation of the Full Bloom magical girl's power and life, which is clearly cannibalism.

Have you not seen the ethereal beauty of the Purple Mansion Yu Muxian on Moon-Gazing Lake? He did not understand the power of the Purple Mansion True Person's spiritual sense, and mistook the superior cultivator for a good person, thus revealing that he possessed a great treasure, which led to his decades of hard cultivation being extinguished in a single day.

Have you not seen the Green Ear Sword Immortal Li Chijing, who forged his immortal foundation with the radiance of the Moon Gate Sword Intent? What fame Qi Refinement Moon Palace Sword Intent hold? A Qi Refining Sword Immortal, he slays demons in the Southern Border. His sword intent is renowned throughout the land, so much so that many families on the lake dare not covet the Lijing Li Family. In the end, he was nothing more than a human pill.

The upper cultivators treat the lower cultivators as a great medicine, consuming them immediately once their cultivation is complete.

And clearly, Full Bloom is the threshold.

Once the Full Bloom magical girl reaches her Full Bloom, the Incubators will eagerly devour her power and life force.

Furthermore, magical girls often find it difficult to resist on their own; they usually need other magical girls present to stop them.

Whether it can actually be stopped remains questionable.

After all, according to Qingluan, the Incubators at that time was not Iris, so it was possible that it could not obtain the Full Bloom magic power along with Iris, and thus could not compete with Iris. Jiang Si had encountered Incubators with Full Bloom magic power in the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.

When a magical girl is unguarded against her Incubators, the Incubators will gain the same power as the magical girl as she reaches the Full Bloom, since the two share magical energy.

On the other hand, based on previous information, once a magical girl truly reaches the Full Bloom, she doesn't actually need the Incubators to break off relations to extract her power.

The same applies to Mujin herself; she simply gradually lost her power and died within a week, and it had nothing to do with the Incubators.

Iris's situation was rather unique at the time. She had just reached the Full Bloom stage when she was knocked down from her previous level, and the Incubators was eager to absorb her power, which led to the Incubators forcibly absorbing it. If Iris had remained in the Full Bloom stage, the Incubators probably wouldn't have needed to break off relations with her.

In any case, be wary of the fact that the Incubators can extract the magical girl's power.

Even if it's not their own Incubators, they can still absorb the magical girl's power.

This is also why Jiang Si has been pursuing other powers all this time.

Whether it's the forced removal of Personal Reality by the Magical Girl Killer or the forced absorption of magical girl powers by the Incubators, it shows that there are quite a few ways to deal with magical girl powers in this world.

Under someone else's system, you are ultimately at their mercy, and the slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.

Now, his own strength is comparable to that of Peak Full Blossom, and he also possesses the abilities of the Calamity Dragon and the Golden Calamity Dragon King.

Once we get our hands on all the Witch Potion, we'll also have the Witch Shion's trump card.

In this way, even if the Incubators has a way to deal with Magical Girl Shion, it cannot deal with Jiang Si, the Calamity Dragon, the Golden Calamity Dragon King, and the Witch Shion.

If we could also harness the power of the Remnants for our own use, that would be even better.

As our ancestor Azure Cloud once said, the more trump cards you have, the better.

The wisdom of our ancestors is undeniable.

Judging from the fact that the other Incubators didn't react much after the Iris's power was stolen by the Incubators.

The Incubators are not necessarily of the same mind.

Even the Incubators codenamed Little Seven, who provided information about the Old World to the Azure Cloud Sect, did not actually exchange information with other Incubators.

From Incubators perspective, the Incubators are not inherently intelligence-sharing individuals, and they don't care about the lives of other Incubators. The Incubators of the Azure Cloud Sect have almost all been suppressed and used as batteries, but the Incubators of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau have not reacted at all.

Within the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, there was no opposition to magical girls abandoning their Incubators. Iris herself threw away her Incubators, which led to the need for the Incubators of the Qingluan to guide her to Full Bloom.

It's clear that the structure is very loose, which suggests that the Incubators itself may not be some real mastermind or ancient monster.

It's probably just a tool used by the hidden hand of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.

So whether they live or die, or are controlled or exploited, it doesn't matter. In fact, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau doesn't really need Incubators to collect magical girls' power.

Originally, they might really be used to cultivate magical girls, nurturing them to reach Full Bloom, and then the power of the Full Bloom magical girl would be automatically absorbed.

Whether it's the Moment of Awakening, a cataclysmic event, the arrival of Outer Domain demons to protect the world, or the clash of powerful beings vying for supremacy, it's all a matter of strategic maneuvering.

Don't worry about whether these things are true or not. Shoot the arrow first, then draw the target. All you need is a result.

The magical girl was no match for them, so she Full Bloom.

Thinking about it carefully, it's definitely worth it. As long as one Full Bloom magical girl is born and gains the power of Full Bloom, it's enough to make up for the resources and time spent cultivating many lower-level cultivators over a long period of time.

They probably have little interest in ordinary magical girls.

If he hadn't possessed the power of the Calamity Dragon, the Golden Calamity Dragon King, and the Witch Shion, he would have inevitably been drained of his life if he had dared to Full Bloom his power.

Fortunately, I am very experienced and saw the problem at a glance.

However, so far, Jiang Si has only gained a few more trump cards. In the realm of magical girl Full Bloom, she still needs to explore step by step.

As a system that has existed for millennia, the one used by the upper level to exploit the lower level is unlikely to be cracked so easily.

We must exercise the utmost caution.

Therefore, Jiang Si was very interested in the Land of Mirrors's Full Bloom Plan.

Although he had already embarked on the path of the Full Bloom lineage he had deduced, and was confident that if he continued on this path, Kongzheng the highest Dao Fruit and reach or even surpass the Full Bloom, there was no precedent for this.

You can first look at the methods of achieving stable Full Bloom in the traditions of other worlds.

Maybe we can join in.

The Land of Mirrors can undoubtedly bypass the harvesting by the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's Incubators to preserve the power of the Full Bloom magical girls.

It's just missing one area.

This is why Jiang Si was willing to give the Prince had lied to her.

Once I go to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau and obtain the Mental Image Domain, and then use the technology of the Land of Mirrors, I can try a method to bypass the Incubators's harvest.

Now, the Magical Girl Shion might be able to easily advance further, stepping into the Full Bloom without any worries, and then nourishing her own lineage.

If it doesn't work, it can still serve as a reference for one's own lineage.

Of course, the Land of Mirrors needs to conduct several experiments before that to ensure there are no problems...

Even with other forces protecting her, Jiang Si would never want to lose the power of the Magical Girl Shion.

He could sense that the potential of magical girls, as one of the most fundamental forces in this world, was far from being fully realized.

Full Bloom does not necessarily mean the end.

A little analysis of the logic reveals the answer: if Incubators can reap power, why not reap the Filthy Magic Power of negative emotions or those grayish-white Remnants?

They clearly have that ability too.

Not doing so would mean that the value of those powers is far less than that of magical girls.

The fact that harvesting at Full Bloom indicates that even if things go beyond Full Bloom, the Incubators might not be able to maintain control.

The more you use it, the clearer you can feel that the magical girl's power has almost no upper limit.

Jiang Si had a premonition that in the end, she would still have to follow the path of a magical girl and reach the pinnacle of success.

"Hey buddy, need a ride?"

On the dark streets, vehicles occasionally passed by, but there were hardly any people to be seen.

A taxi pulled up in front of him that evening. The Driver, a middle-aged man, asked him a question in a friendly manner.

"I can't run as fast as myself."

The Driver paused for a moment upon hearing Jiang Si's words, then burst into laughter, "It's the middle of the night, there won't be any traffic jams, how could I possibly be slower than you running?"

Then he saw the boy start running.

It was moving at a speed far exceeding that of a vehicle, as if it were about to take flight!

The Driver rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, the figure was already out of sight.

A cold evening wind blew by, and the Driver shivered. He quickly rolled up the window and slammed on the gas.

Forget about making money, he immediately drove home!

"I've encountered a ghost!"

Jiang Si had no idea that her casual warm-up had changed the schedule and work of a Driver who drove at night.

Later, legends of ghosts running around at night began to circulate.

Of course, even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care.

After warming up, Jiang Si didn't rush back, but went to the Azure Cloud Sect instead.

I want to get some money.

Jiang Si didn't really need money in the past, so he never bothered to use Azure Cloud Sect's money.

After all, it doesn't concern his own cultivation. For minor things like weapon crafting and alchemy, he can get enough resources from the Witch Association, so even if he fails, it's not a big deal.

There's no need to waste Azure Cloud Sect's money on things that aren't important.

Now, the ten black gold cards the Prince gave him are fake, and he even took out a loan to buy Witch Potion for him. The loan has to be repaid eventually, and he can't rely on the Prince, so he can only rely on Azure Cloud.

While it's possible to forcibly seize the potion, losing the identity of Si Motu will make obtaining the Witch Association's technology much more difficult.

After all, the location of the Witch Association's stronghold is still unknown; according to Bingtang's speculation, it might be in the Old World.

All their techniques are managed by the headquarters. The techniques that are distributed are either not critical or involve controlling memories through special methods, making them impossible to extract through torture.

It's like Witch Potion. If he hadn't infiltrated the Witch Association and had Xilan around, he wouldn't have known where to find it, what it was for, or how to use it, let alone how to steal it.

Without such strict controls, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau would have analyzed all the technology long ago...

If he had only relied on brute force to wipe out the Witch Association, he probably wouldn't have been able to obtain the power of the Witch Shion, let alone the Calamity Dragon and the Golden Calamity Dragon King.

This is the importance of super intelligence.

Those who don't know how to leave room for maneuver and plan slowly are either from a low-level perspective or have been cultivating their skills Conjoined Fire since birth. They've cultivated too much and lost their minds, or they're a combination of both.

He observed that the Witch Association many followers, some of whom possessed arrogant and violent powers, seemingly restrained by their own lineage, and perhaps even had their minds filled with Filthy Magic Power.

To say they resemble the Conjoined Fire sect is an insult to the Conjoined Fire tradition.

Because the Conjoined Fire is weak, yet extremely powerful!

Is there any connection between this kind of person and strength within the Witch Association?

To harmonize mind and body, and spirit; to burn one's nature harms one's life and damages one's mind—hiss, this description feels so familiar.

Thinking back to Coco, whose strength has been increasing recently, but whose intelligence has been decreasing like Keke of a baby.

It's still a fire-attribute character that plays with fire.

Could Keke that Coco was born with Conjoined Fire destiny?

I've already seen the Keke maggots lying on the floor with their backs broken.

Keke it be that the next one to return is Coco, who plays with fire and wets the bed...?

No, that's a bit biased. It seems like most of the magical girls I've seen are a bit silly.

It's more likely a matter of magical girls and witch powers.

In particular, magical girls are generally stronger, and using them every day can be mentally taxing.

They are worlds apart from cultivators like myself who primarily rely on wisdom.

Ultimately, it all comes down to being controlled by the established order. If one cannot control the established order, what's the point of cultivation...?

He had already made up his mind that if Keke slept on the floor in his room and wet the bed, he would go to Keke's room to pee.

Therefore, Jiang Si still planned to get some money from the Azure Cloud Sect to buy the Witch Potion in a legitimate way, in order to maintain her position Si Motu.

He wanted to continue to display his unique style as a cultivator and scheme for more benefits from the Witch Association that he was unaware of at the moment.

Of course, it would be even better if we could find the headquarters, which would save us a lot of trouble.

Upon entering the sect, one sees Bingtang asleep, slumped over the table.

Hearing the sound, Blue Flower peeked out from the mourning hall, cautiously glanced around, and then, upon seeing the sect leader, put down the game she was playing and tiptoed over.

"Lord Bingtang has been busy for several days without sleep and just went to bed today. Sect Master, could you please wait a moment and let Lord Bingtang Tang rest? Please be understanding..."

Hearing Blue Flower's soft plea, Jiang Si didn't say anything, just nodded.

He then sat down next to the Bingtang.

He glanced at the computer screen; the files were all incomprehensible to him, and he didn't intend to understand them. He was lying on the table, his hair pressed down by the Bingtang, and there were even strands of hair around his mouth.

He looked tired and somewhat disheveled.

In the past, Bingtang was quite conscious of her image.

"Hehe, isn't Lord Bingtang handsome? Sect Master."

Beside her, Blue Flower lowered her voice and whispered in Jiang Si's ear, "Lord Bingtang's skin is so beautiful, why don't you touch it? At a time like this, it's safe to do anything, you can even pinch Lord Bingtang's tongue..."

With nothing else to do, Jiang Si looked at her and said, "Blue Flower, let's practice."

The previously jovial Blue Flower suddenly knelt down with a "thud." "Sect Master, if I've done anything wrong, please tell me directly, and I will definitely correct it!"

"You haven't had enough real-world experience."

Jiang Si commented, "Always hiding in the back controlling the Magic Puppet, lacking practical combat experience, is a huge hidden danger. You should spar with me more."

"I wasn't hiding in the back while controlling the Magic Puppet, boss. I was fighting hard too. I definitely have a lot of real combat experience with Super Blue Flower..."

"Then you should show me in real combat."

Super Blue Flower was almost in tears. "The problem is, I haven't finished my daily tasks yet, Sect Master! After getting beaten up, I'll be bedridden for days. I'm going to miss the Magical Girl Idol Project event, and I heard they're even starting a pre-event for your gacha pool..."

"To fight or not to fight?"

Although she had come up with a bunch of reasons, when Jiang Si asked, Blue Flower nodded with a bitter face, "Fight, if the Sect Master wants to see it, then Super Blue Flower will definitely fight. But in order not to disturb Lord Bingtang, let's go outside..."

"OK."

Five minutes later.

Jiang Si returned carrying the unconscious Blue Flower, while Bingtang had already woken up. She glanced at the Blue Flower in Jiang Si's hand, smiled helplessly, and picked Blue Flower up.

When did you wake up?

"Just now." After checking Blue Flower's body, there were basically no injuries; she had simply fainted.

Now I can finally go to sleep.

After all, Blue Flower stays up late playing games every night, which is quite a headache for Bingtang. She's developed dark circles under her eyes these past two days, and she's been very busy, so she hasn't had time to take care of it.

Now that the sect leader has given him a good beating, he'll probably be behaving himself for a long time. At least he can finally go to sleep peacefully.

After placing the Blue Flower back on the floor mat in the mourning hall and covering it with a blanket, she came out and heard Jiang Si asking her, "How are the arrangements for the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's Mental Image Domain Trial going?"

"It'll be in the next few days."

As Bingtang Tang spoke, she walked over, "I've already sent some inner disciples over to exchange ideas. Golden Tea also really wants to help the magical girls from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau improve, so she hopes that Azure Cloud Sect disciples can teach them."

"Alright."

Jiang Si nodded in satisfaction, "You can teach more. My Azure Cloud Sect's mission is to spread its teachings throughout the world, so that everyone in this vast world can become a dragon!"

"Our sect leader has the world in his heart and deserves the respect of all ages!"

"Not at all. If everyone in this world were to hoard their own knowledge, where would there be any room for progress? The cultivation methods of the Azure Cloud Sect weren't given to them for nothing. Sharing knowledge and resources will lead to faster advancement."

Bingtang looked at her sect leader with admiration, "As expected of the sect leader, so farsighted."

"In the novel Zhu Xian *, it was recorded that the ancestors caused chaos because of sectarian prejudice, refusing to exchange cultivation techniques and insights, to the point that the path to immortality was right before their eyes, yet no one knew it."

Jiang Si quoted classical texts and said in a deep tone, "We must learn from the mistakes of the past and never repeat them. Now, the methods of both the righteous and the evil paths are in my hands. Perhaps I can unify all forces and comprehend the Heavenly Book. We still need to communicate and learn more, and we must not be arrogant."

"Yes!"

Whenever their sect leader spoke about cultivation, he always managed to utter truths that Bingtang greatly admired.

She never thought that the sect leader was talking nonsense in this regard. She kept all of her sect leader's words about cultivation in mind and would definitely compile them into a book in the future as the golden rules of the Azure Cloud Sect to educate all the disciples.

"Oh, and about the Witch Association..."

Jiang Si originally wanted to talk about the Witch Potion.

Before he could finish speaking, Bingtang interrupted him, "Sect Master, please close your eyes for a moment."

Seeing the mysterious yet expectant look on Bingtang's face, Jiang Si nodded. "Hurry up, I have something important to discuss with you."

"Don't worry, it'll be quick."

After he closed his eyes, Bingtang walked up behind him and made rustling noises, fiddling with something.

"Are you done?"

Immediately, immediately.

After waiting a little while longer, the Bingtang finally stopped.

"Alright, Sect Master, please open your eyes~"

Jiang Si then opened her eyes, and was slightly taken aback.

Ten beautiful black and gold cards appeared perfectly intact in front of me.

"Clang, clang, clang!" Bingtang added her own voiceover, leaning closer to his shoulder and saying with a grin, "Look what this is, Sect Master! I've replaced all ten of those torn black gold cards for you!"

Jiang Si took the ten black gold cards and touched them.

It feels even better than before!

The black gold card from before was indeed a fake, a low-quality product; it just doesn't feel as good as the genuine one!

Didn't you say it couldn't be done?

"After all, I don't know if I can manage ten at once. What if I don't and disappoint you?" Bingtang wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on his shoulder. "If you succeed, consider it a little surprise. If you fail, it won't disappoint you either. Of course, I can't agree to that."

"Indeed, it's a pleasant surprise."

"Hehe, I'm glad you like it."

Then Jiang Si of the Shuangsheng.

And there was the Prince's acknowledgment.

So he looked back at the Bingtang again.

The girl blinked, looking expectant of praise.

Jiang Si stroked the black and gold cards, feeling the card numbers on them, and after a long while asked again, "Are these newly issued cards?"

Bingtang tilted her head. "Yeah, a new card."

The hall fell silent for a moment, with only the two of them breathing.

Then Bingtang chuckled, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was just wondering what if it doesn't work? The card someone else gave me might have a questionable origin."

"Don't worry, these ten black gold cards are absolutely fine. Each one is worth fifty million. You can use them however you want."

Bingtang Tang said softly, "Anyway, it's a card someone gave me, it doesn't matter."

Jiang Si finally stopped asking questions and simply nodded, "Okay."

Bingtang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Jiang Si patted Bingtang's head and praised, "Well done."

Bingtang hummed smugly twice, then buried her head in his shoulder. "So, what's the important matter?"

"That's all."

"All right."

"The Land of Mirrors wants the Miracle Seed of the Iris to study its Full Bloom power." Jiang Si for a moment, "I want to take the Miracle Seed of the Iris and see if they have a way to bypass the Incubators's Full Bloom and pave a true path to Full Bloom for magical girls all over the world."

"Isn't this the important thing?"

Bingtang thought for a moment, "I'll talk to Golden Tea about it. Stealing directly wouldn't look good, since we're partners after all."

"OK."

Jiang Si didn't care; if formal negotiations with Bingtang didn't work, she could just go get it herself.

The less trouble we have, the less trouble we'll have.

"And how long are you going to hold me like that?"

"One night."

Go to sleep.

"I don't."

Jiang Si glanced at the ten black gold cards, but ultimately let her hold them.

"Oh, right." Bingtang, who had returned to her stool, lay down on Jiang Si's lap, then rolled over and looked up at the sect leader, "Yarrow will also be going to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau this time. It's been so long since we've seen you; she and Jiegeng miss you very much."

Tell her to get out.

"Oh dear, don't be so cold, the Yarrow will cry."

Jiang Si snorted coldly, "It's not like she's participating in the Mental Image Domain Trial, why is she going to join in the fun?"

"I already said, I just wanted to see you."

Bingtang tapped her sect leader's chin with her finger, "Be a little nicer. Qian Yarrow Yarrow has been in charge of the developments in West China these past few days. She's put in a lot of effort. She's also investigated some traces of the Witch Association and members of the Old World. She's done a lot of work, even if she hasn't made any great contributions. Don't always look at her with a stern face and complain about her."

"I understand." Jiang Si then casually asked, "Did they discover anything about the Old World in West China?"

"It seems to be an Old World called Chongxu."

Is it special?

"Yarrow said it was a place where everything depended on money."

"Um?"

Kunxu?

They're quite copyright conscious, thinking that changing a word doesn't constitute copyright infringement?
