Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 514
Chapter 514: Chapter 487: Carried Away in the Mouth (Third update, asking for monthly passes) Chapter 514: Chapter 487: Carried Away in the Mouth (Third update, asking for monthly passes) “So it turns out to be this?
This can also be considered an unexpected turn of events.”
Luo Wangshu sat in the main hall of Lin Mansion’s secret base, listening to Lin Rui’s narration while sipping the hot tea served by Ji Xueying.
She felt all the fatigue in her body disappear clean away in an instant.
Lin Hao handled this matter well.
What was rare was this disciple’s wholehearted protective feelings toward her, which was very gratifying to her as a mentor.
She did not pamper him in vain.
Luo Wangshu then thought about the results of the Great Celestial Master’s astral divination: “This matter being related to the Abyss is indeed a bit troublesome, but it’s not an insurmountable problem.
...
You must have your own plans, right?
How do you intend to deal with it?”
This Divine being is really something; observing the stars for what?
It only made things more complicated.
She naturally wouldn’t honestly return the shard.
This thing just so happens to be able to help her rid herself of the Abyss Pollution.
Originally, Luo Wangshu could only hope for Lin Hao to improve his cultivation and use the Pure Method to help her remove it, but unexpectedly, Hao has managed to secure three pieces of the Divine Tablet for her, which was a pleasant surprise.
Of course, these things must eventually be handed over to that Divine being.
The question is how to return them?
Lin Rui indeed had a plan: “The Demon Sect must be eliminated, but the Bright Holy Sect has no Abyss, making it inconvenient to frame them.
Recently, I have learned that an organization called the Longevity Association from the Outer Heaven Demon is studying the Abyss.
The Luo Family’s hidden demon case was the work of the Longevity Association, and I now have information on the general location of several of their secret bases.”
——In fact, not long ago he had just taken down one, killing 300 Longevity Association members and arresting over 200 people and sending them to jail.
The housekeeper Lu Hanyuan was listening on the side, and after hearing this he felt a chill in his heart, thinking to himself that Master Lin indeed had a ruthless heart.
“The Longevity Association?”
Luo Wangshu’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, then she spoke calmly: “I’ve vaguely heard about them; for now, let’s tentatively choose them.
However, let’s wait another three months before taking any action.
By then, if there is anything I can assist you with as your mentor, feel free to tell me.
If there are more suitable targets in the meantime, we can also change our plan.”
She then looked at Lin Rui: “Where did the subordinates who helped you transport the Divine Tablet come from?
Are they reliable?”
“Very reliable; their lives are tied to mine!”
Lin Rui bowed: “My mentor may not know that recently, the prices of major goods from the Heavenly Demon Origin have sky-rocketed.
I’ve made a few big deals with some people, earning a great profit.
Having money in hand and being the Commander of the Spy Detection Bureau with divine favor, I was lucky enough to hire many experts.
Most of them are desperados with cases hanging over them, so it’s not convenient for them to appear in public.”
Luo Wangshu uttered an ‘hmm’ and glanced sideways at the housekeeper Lu Hanyuan.
Thinking that this person must also be one of the experts Lin Hao hired, Eighth Realms Emperor Rank—Lin Hao actually managed to attract such people to serve him?
Luo Wangshu wasn’t entirely at ease, but she knew Lin Hao’s character appeared sharp and full of vigour, yet his actions were very thorough and watertight.
Especially the four words ‘their lives are tied to mine,’ which carried a lot of weight.
Luo Wangshu decided not to dwell on it and turned to look at the surgery lead room beside her: “So, what’s the story with that operating room of yours?”
Lin Rui spoke solemnly: “I am learning the technique of implanting the Armament used by the Heavenly Demons in the body, mentor!
I have recently come to realize that there is something to be gained from the Heavenly Demons’ Armament, and it has already become widespread in the world.
Many officials throughout the Great Song have implanted Heavenly Demon Armament, and if we as mentor and disciple wish to stand firm in the court, we cannot afford to fall behind.
However, I do not trust the Heavenly Demons, nor do I dare to, so I had to learn it myself, and thus I constructed this surgery lead room.
The reason for using lead is that it can shield the detection of Spiritual Sense and allows me to use the Pure Method here.
This was originally a precaution, but unexpectedly it came into use with these Divine Tablet shards.”
Luo Wangshu uttered an ‘hmm,’ her gaze settled on Lin Rui, her thoughts churning.
After a moment, Luo Wangshu chuckled softly and nodded slightly: “Good, learn well, and once you have results, you can let my Dragon Guard try it first.”
She then stood up: “These Divine Tablet shards can’t be conveniently brought into the Imperial City, so keep them here.
I will find a way to come myself.
But you need to think about reinforcing this lead room to ensure it is foolproof.
Speaking of which, having been promoted to Fourth Rank, this residence of yours has become somewhat small.
You can consider expanding by incorporating the surrounding yards.”
A small yard implies a lack of depth; if someone bursts in, they could take in everything at a glance.
“`
This underground base cannot be expanded either, what’s the use of an area of merely 50 acres?
The surgery lead room, though located in the core area of the underground base, can be easily breached by anyone who digs through to it.
“You need to hire some more experts for your mansion, and don’t be stingy with the money.”
Luo Wangshu knew the key issue was still money; having money meant having experts.
She had to urge Lin Hao to develop more financial resources and earn more.
Her expression then changed as she pondered, “In the Divine Affairs Office are dozens of Outer Heaven Demon Combat Mechas and more than 100 artillery pieces, said to have been refurbished by the Mechanical God Temple.
They were placed in the Divine Affairs Office for their artisans to study and replicate, but for decades they haven’t managed to replicate anything significant.
Think of an excuse after a while and have them allocated to you.”
These machines without heads are much more reliable than humans.
※※※※
The next morning, Linghu Mingde’s Alien, Zhao Yang, the Imperial Censor of Great Song, followed dozens of First-rank officials of the current court into the Imperial City for the morning audience.
Many high-level officials of Great Song were somewhat aware of yesterday’s events, and at this time they all had a solemn and reverent demeanor, speaking and acting with caution.
Yesterday the Emperor was chastised, and both the First and Third Divine Envoys were disciplined as well; the Second Divine Envoy seemed to not have any responsibility but was also scolded harshly by the Divine.
Presumably, their mood is not good now.
Today, we must not provoke the two of them.
However, behind them, a group of Fourth and Fifth Rank court officials were abuzz with discussion.
“Have you heard?
Spy Detection Bureau Commander Lin Hao has been granted the Divine Office of the Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace at Fourth Rank!”
“How could such a big event go unheard?
It’s remarkable, I remember there are 12 Divine Envoy candidates, and now there are four who are Fourth Rank Great Chief Priests of the Divine Palace.”
“Only two, Shentu Rong and Situ Xiu, had their Divine Offices revoked due to incompetence and inability to handle their duties.
These two really have had terrible luck in recent years.”
“Do you not know?
Last night, the Divine Palace also bestowed a set of Heavenly Demon Armor to Lin Hao, with an Inner Eunuch accompanying the Great Chief Priest to the Lin Mansion.
They say the armor was marked with the Nine Chapters!
This is the ceremonial privilege of a Prince and Crown Prince.”
“The Divine Envoy even gave him so much power; even obtaining the military dispatch token for the armies in Luojing and the Abyss.
In the entire history of Great Song since the establishment of the Spy Detection Bureau, no Commander has held such substantial authority.
He’s practically equivalent to the Crown Prince, if not the Crown Prince, then better than one!”
“I wonder what made the Divine so furious that he insists on pursuing and eradicating the Bright Holy Sect?”
“Be careful!
That’s the Divine’s business, not something for us to speculate on.
But I did hear something strange; Third Divine Envoy Luo Wangshu finished her meditation last night, left the palace immediately, stayed the whole night at Lin Mansion, and only emerged the next morning.

It’s said that when she entered the palace, Divine Envoy Luo was radiant, a stark contrast to her dejection and exhaustion from the day before.”
“What’s so strange about that?
She’s Commander Lin’s master, staying a night at her disciple’s house is nothing out of the ordinary, right?
Umm~ I see what you mean, Divine Envoy Luo does seem quite close to her disciple, even physically affectionate at times.”
“No way?
Are you suggesting there’s something illicit between Divine Envoy Luo and Commander Lin?”
“What do you mean, ‘illicit’?
How harsh you sound; they are both unmarried.”
Zhao Yang, the Imperial Censor of Great Song—that is, Linghu Mingde—couldn’t help but become infuriated.
“Silence!”
As soon as Linghu Mingde spoke, he noticed all the surrounding officials turning their heads in shock to look at him.
Realizing the impropriety, he immediately swept his robe sleeves aside and bellowed angrily, “How dare you babble and gossip in the solemn grounds of the Imperial City?
And how dare you speculate and criticize the Third Divine Envoy and the Spy Detection Bureau Commander’s teacher-disciple relationship?”
His thunderous outburst disciplined the group of officials who betrayed courtly decorum, while he inwardly frowned deeply.
These people from Tianji Star, although their civilization is very similar to ancient East Asia in many ways, differ significantly in customs and traditions.
Even in the current Earth Federation, a romance between teacher and disciple is considered a violation of norms, yet the people of Tianji Star don’t care much about it and see it as nothing unusual.
Linghu Mingde anxiously worried, thinking to himself what his granddaughter was really thinking?
If she kept dawdling, with no move made, the prize before her might just be snatched away by someone else!
