The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

“Those prosperous people have always liked to lure people into demonic ways to strengthen their own power. If they knew that Bai Zhi could do such a thing, they might really attack her without any regard for the consequences.”

"At that time, we may have to go through another war of abundance, ugh... just thinking about it is a headache and a heavy situation."

Fu Xuan covered her head, looking like she had a headache. The war between the rich and the poor had left a deep shadow on her, and she really didn't want to face it again unless necessary.

Furthermore, the Luofu Immortal Ship has enjoyed peace for a long time, and it's hard to say whether it still possesses the same combat power as before.

"It's alright. Even if we have to go through that kind of brutal battlefield again, this time we certainly won't be facing it alone. The entire Immortal Ship Alliance will come to our aid. As long as they dare to do so, we will definitely let them know what kind of power we have under the Emperor's Bow!"

Flying through the air, on the other hand, seemed more relaxed and carefree.

45. Inspection completed.

“General Jingyuan…we can barely detect the influence of your demonic body. On the Immortal Ship, only newborn babies probably possess this level of power.”

After the instruments were used to test the instruments, the members of the Ten Kings Division gave their conclusions with expressions of utter astonishment.

"As expected..." Upon hearing this conclusion, even Jing Yuan, who is usually quite strict with his facial expressions, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a few notches higher, making it easy to distinguish the difference between his usual lazy smile and his usual one.

This smile comes from the heart, a genuine joy.

Fu Xuan and Yu Kong smiled and nodded in understanding.

"Yes, it's really incredible. My diagnosis was almost the same. If it weren't for you, General, standing here, I would almost think I was diagnosing an innocent baby."

Bai Lu also showed a different side than her usual childlike self, and spoke very seriously.

As one of the most skilled practitioners in the Dan Ding Division, Bai Lu knew very well how many years the Dan Ding Division had spent researching to cure the Demon Yin Body. However, most of the research results turned into the so-called health-preserving elixirs sold outside, which could only be used to deceive the not-so-intelligent Immortal Boat people.

Over the years, the research has enabled Dan Ding Si to establish a mature set of criteria for judging demonic yin bodies, and there have been almost no errors.

According to this evaluation standard, Jingyuan is actually an infant.

Although this method can detect that the influence of the demonic body still exists and will grow stronger over time, it is estimated that this growth will take at least seven or eight hundred years.

Moreover, perhaps during this long period of time, Jing Yuan will become more mature in controlling his emotions and related matters, and the time it takes for him to fall into demonic possession will be slower.

This is practically like living another life.

"Unfortunately, I was unable to completely cure the demonic body."

Bai Zhi shook her head. The main power of the Tiger Talisman was balance; healing was not its forte. The fact that it could balance the demonic body was already a pleasant surprise.

However, when Bai Zhi thought of the Tiger Talisman, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be quite a few talismans that could affect the demonic body.

For example, the dog talisman she currently possesses, although it only has the ability to make one immortal, is actually designed to lock one's body and mind in a state of peak physical and mental well-being.

Perhaps, when the dog talisman is upgraded to a higher level, it can also temporarily drive away demonic spirits.

As for using the Dog Talisman to permanently exorcise the demonic spirit, Bai Zhi didn't even dare to think about it, since that would mean the Dog Talisman's effects could continue on others indefinitely.

If the dog charm could unlock that effect, Bai Zhi believed that she could probably transform into a new immortal star god.

"That's enough. Completely curing the demonic body is something we wouldn't even dare to dream of. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to live another seven or eight hundred years. Thank you, Bai Zhi!"

Jing Yuan, who had been lying on the bed for examination, stood up, then came to Bai Zhi's side and said softly.

"General, please don't speak to me in such a soft tone, I'm scared."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly. Jing Yuan's tone was as ridiculous as a burly man forcibly trying to sound gentle.

"Haha, after all, from now on you are the number one person in our Immortal Ship. Not to mention me, even if Marshal Hua came, he would probably speak to you in a very soft voice."

Jing Yuan was amused by Bai Zhi's words and returned to his original voice.

Although his voice had returned, his mind began to race.

The importance of Bai Zhi's ability to the Immortal Boat people is self-evident. If it is fully awakened in the future, the entire Immortal Boat Alliance will usher in a new era...

Well... at least that's the case for high-level combat power.

After considering that a single immortal ship would have at least hundreds of billions of people, Jing Yuan silently suppressed this unrealistic idea and brought the entire immortal ship back to life.

After all, even if Bai Zhi were to fully awaken and do nothing but balance her demonic yin body for hundreds of years until she transforms into an egg, the population of a single immortal ship probably wouldn't be enough to balance it all.

But at least, the advanced combat power of the Immortal Ship is now guaranteed.

It's unrealistic for everyone to be able to balance their demonic yin bodies. Moreover, if the population only increases and never decreases, even with the technological level of the Immortal Ship Alliance, it will eventually explode due to the inability to support the population.

The last time this happened on the Immortal Ship, it caused extremely tragic consequences.

If we do not want history to repeat itself, we must plan for the long term.

It seems that we will have to discuss with Marshal Hua and the other generals of the Immortal Ships what standards we need to meet to ensure that Bai Zhi has the opportunity to balance the demonic yin after she fully awakens.

These thoughts flashed through Jing Yuan's mind quickly.

"Bai Zhi, you actually did it! I'm really curious now, who were you in your past life?"

Bai Lu walked up to Bai Zhi, her face full of surprise. After all, although the Dragon Masters had always valued Bai Zhi, in the past two years, apart from having dragon horns on her head and a maturity beyond her years, Bai Zhi was no different from an ordinary Vidyadhara.

But after only a few days away, he was able to directly balance the influence of the demonic body upon his return.

She even began to suspect that Bai Zhi might be the illegitimate child of the Immortal Star God.

"Hmm... I don't know either, but anyway, I'm still your most beloved disciple, aren't I?"

As Bai Zhi spoke, she reached out and pinched Bai Lu's little nose.

"You're in this state, do you really still need me as your master?"

Instead of slapping Bai Zhi's hand away as usual, Bai Lu muttered something in a somewhat dejected tone.

Bai Zhi has progressed too quickly. In the past, she could teach medicine and demonstrate her abilities, but now, she can already balance the influence of the demonic yin body.

In the Immortal Ship, this can be considered the highest honor.

After all, the Immortal Ship people are a long-lived species with amazing self-healing abilities. For example, those pilots who crash from planetary orbit to the ground in their fighter jets do not die, but slowly heal themselves. Other common illnesses are the same; given enough time, most can be cured.

Excluding those congenital disabilities, for the people of the Immortal Ship, the only truly fatal condition is the Demonic Yin Body.

"Of course I need to! You're my favorite Master Bailu. I'll be so sad if I don't see you for a long time!"

46. ​​Vidyadhara Naga Master, heed my command!

"Gentlemen, what do you think General Jingyuan wanted to do by summoning us here?"

Near the Shence Mansion, a group of Chiming Clan members, who looked young but gave off the air of old men, were making a noisy commotion as they marched forward.

Without a doubt, they were the Dragon Masters of the Vidyadhara clan.

"Hey, what else could it be? We just received news that Bai Zhilongnu has returned to the Immortal Ship. Jing Yuan knows what we're thinking. He's probably just considering Bai Lu's special status and doesn't want us to strip her of her Dragon Lord power."

One of the Dragon Masters said disdainfully, "Dragon Masters are all old and shrewd. Although they are not as old as Jing Yuan, they are at least 500 years old. In addition, they have long held high positions of power and have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

They knew exactly what Jing Yuan was thinking.

However, the Chiming and the Immortal Boat people have an alliance. Unless absolutely necessary, the Immortal Boat people will never interfere with the Chiming clan's autonomy. Therefore, even if Jingyuan has the power of a general, the Dragon Masters are not too afraid.

To put it bluntly, stripping Bailu of her Dragon Lord power is an internal clan matter. Given Chiming's special nature, Bailu will at most molt into an egg and will not die, so Jingyuan has even less reason to interfere.

“That’s right. He probably wanted to persuade us to give up the idea, but how could we give up for the sake of the entire clan? If Jing Yuan gives us face, then so be it. But if he doesn’t, what can he do if we force him to do it?”

The other dragon master sneered. They had accurately predicted Jing Yuan's bottom line. After all, as a general, his every word and action was being watched by countless people. Any slight transgression would definitely not bring good results.

Besides, the general isn't the highest-ranking one; there's also the Marshal of the Immortal Ship above him, so he can't do whatever he wants.

The dragon masters talked amongst themselves as they stormed into the Divine Strategy Palace.

Upon entering the Shence Mansion, the Dragon Masters were somewhat bewildered. Why were there so many people in the Shence Mansion? People from the Ten Kings Division, the Grand Diviner Division, and the Heavenly Ship Division were all there, and even Bai Zhilongnu and Bai Lu were here.

This is not quite what they expected; Jing Yuan had summoned them for a private talk, hoping to resolve the matter.

Could it be that Jingyuan is planning to join forces with these departments to put pressure on them?

After the thought flashed through their minds, the Dragon Masters shook their heads. Of these departments, only the Heavenly Ship Bureau had more contact with them because of business dealings. They rarely had the opportunity to deal with the other departments, such as the Divination Bureau and the Ten Kings Bureau.

After all, although the Vidyadharas are a long-lived race, they also have the risk of falling into demonic influence, but the chances are very small, because they usually don't reach the hurdle of more than 800 years before they transform into Vidyadhara eggs.

Moreover, whether it was just their imagination or not, the Dragon Masters felt that General Jingyuan seemed completely different from his usual self today, exuding an undeniable sharpness.

"This sharpness... what exactly does Jing Yuan want to do? Could he really be planning to make a move...?" Several dragon masters thought in unison.

After exchanging glances, the Dragon Masters, still confused, cautiously inquired, "General Jingyuan, did you summon us here for something important?"

Jing Yuan laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. The main thing is that I hope the Dragon Masters can stop your plan."

Upon hearing Jing Yuan's words, the Dragon Masters frowned immediately, and without caring that Bai Lu was standing there, they started criticizing him.

“General, this is the decision of our Chiming clan. In any case, it is not your place to interfere. Moreover, I think it is only right for Lady Bailu, as the Dragon Lord, to bear the responsibility for the rise and fall of the clan.”

“That’s right. As a Dragon Lord, one should naturally be a role model for the Vidyadhara clan, and everything should be done with the interests of the clan first. If one only knows how to enjoy oneself and has no responsibility, then we don’t need this Dragon Lord!”

“My colleagues are right. Power and responsibility should be commensurate. With great power comes great responsibility! She must hand over the power of the Dragon Lord!”

The Dragon Masters started shouting, and the entire Shence Prefecture seemed to turn into a bustling marketplace in an instant.

Bai Lu lowered her head, looking somewhat dejected. Although she knew that the Dragon Masters had never really liked her and that she, as the Dragon Lord, didn't have any real power.

But she never imagined that the Dragon Masters' dislike for her would reach such an extent, readily stripping her of her Dragon Lord power, as if she were not a Dragon Lord, but merely a small animal that could be manipulated at will, without needing to ask her opinion.

"Alright, don't be sad, let's watch General Jingyuan's performance."

Bai Zhi keenly noticed Bai Lu's disappointment, and then reached out and patted Bai Lu's head affectionately.

"Don't worry, I will protect you. The power of the Dragon Lord will never be separated from you."

"Really? But I think it might be better to give you the power of the Dragon Lord..."

Bai Lu raised her head, looked at Bai Zhi with misty eyes, and her voice was trembling with tears.

"I don't care about the power of the Dragon Lord. Can the power of the Dragon Lord balance the demonic body? I have my own path of growth. The power of the Dragon Lord might not be an aid to me, but a burden."

After all, the Holy Lord is already invincible; why would he need to borrow the Dragon Lord's bone? (Thanks to Hua Yu Qingjian for replying to Chapter 39 of the interrogation post; that sentence is excellent, I've copied it.)

"Okay, be quiet!"

Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then spoke in a deep voice.

This immediately silenced the dragon masters' argument, but then they retorted, their necks stiff with arrogance:

"General, you're not trying to force us into submission, are you? If you don't have a legitimate reason, we'll take it to the Marshal."

The Dragon Masters said confidently that even if Jing Yuan really made a move, he would at most beat them up, but he couldn't possibly kill them.

They still have that much confidence.

"Of course I won't force you to submit; I have legitimate reasons!"

The Dragon Masters stared at Jing Yuan with disdain. What legitimate reason could there be? It was probably just Jing Yuan bluffing and trying to scare them.

A mere paper tiger.

"All Vidyadharas, listen to my command! I order you not to pass on the power of the Dragon Lord to Bai Zhi. This order is effective immediately. If you dare to do so, the Cloud Cavalry will immediately take action and arrest you and imprison you."

Jing Yuan's voice was as loud as a bell, conveying these words completely to the Dragon Masters.

Startled by the enormous sound, the dragon masters were momentarily stunned for a few seconds before bursting into fury.

"Jing Yuan, how dare you abuse your power! We will immediately report this to Marshal Hua, and you can prepare for an investigation by the Alliance!"

They never expected that Jing Yuan would go to such lengths to protect Bai Lu.

"Do you think I'm only doing this to protect Bailu?" Jing Yuan said coldly.

47. Dragon Master: How about we give Bai Zhi the title of Holy Lord?

"Not just for the sake of protecting Bailu?"

The Dragon Masters glared angrily at Jing Yuan, but a hint of doubt lingered in their hearts.

Because they were too familiar with Jing Yuan, the general who had ruled the Luofu Immortal Ship for hundreds of years. He was never known for his bravery, but rather for his unparalleled wisdom and infallible strategies.

He seems to have a backup plan for most things and doesn't say anything casually.

He must have had the confidence to say those things.
