The crane head of the Azure Nether Longevity Crane constitutes its core component. After obtaining the soul ring, Tang Yi did not allow it to go to waste; he severed this "crane head" and placed it back into the [Silk缠指套 / Coiling Silk Finger Sheath].
Upon exiting the Soul Beast Hunting Forest, Tang Yi located a secluded area and initiated the second transmission. The primary items transmitted this time were the snake head of the "Variegated Viper" soul beast and the crane head of the "Azure Nether Longevity Crane" soul beast. These represent the most essential portions of the soul beasts' bodies.
In addition, Tang Yi included the notes he had systematically compiled and recorded during his month of classes at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. At the same time, he transmitted foundational texts copied from the academy, including Basic Soul Master Cultivation Incantations, General Knowledge of Soul Power, Elementary Illustrated Guide to Soul Beasts, and similar fundamental works.
Finally, Tang Yi composed a letter filled with deep affection. Accompanied by the incantation "时空穿梭!位面交换!" ("Space-Time Shuttle! Plane Exchange!"), these items were immediately transmitted back to Great Xia!
...…
Blue Star, Great Xia Nation — Highest Institute of Science and Technology — Research Institute No. 19, Laboratory 26: With a flash of strange light, objects originating from the Douluo Continent descended from above!
Su Xiaoyin, filled with delight, began the inventory. "They have finally arrived! It is a letter from our Great Xia compatriot — Tang Yi!"
Su Xiaoyin unfolded the letter. In it, Tang Yi informed her of the extraordinary existence known as "soul beasts" and enclosed several general readers on soul master cultivation. According to Tang Yi's intention, the Highest Institute of Science and Technology of Great Xia could employ scientific methods to analyze the essence of "soul power"!
"Perhaps this could enable the initiation of universal transcendence across Great Xia!" "Wishing the motherland everlasting prosperity and strength!"
Having read Tang Yi's letter, Su Xiaoyin was profoundly shaken. To her, terms such as "soul beasts" and "soul power" were entirely novel.
Without delay, Su Xiaoyin reported the matter to Director Zhou Chuan. Director Zhou Chuan immediately mobilized resources, and dozens of top-tier biologists, chemists, physicists, mathematicians, medical experts, computer scientists, and others were promptly assigned to the research.
Within a mere day or two, the experiments yielded initial results: "This time, the essential portions of the soul beasts and the cultivation methods for soul power constitute invaluable treasures!"
Su Xiaoyin, visibly excited, held the experimental report. "The Azure Nether Longevity Crane, as described by Tang Yi, is a life-attribute soul beast approximately two thousand years old! The flesh of this soul beast contains extremely potent life elements! When combined and harmonized with Blue Silver Grass, it can enable the final mass production of Blue Silver Tablets!"
"This soul beast, the Azure Nether Longevity Crane, does not correspond to any known species on Blue Star — it is truly remarkable! Its flesh and cells exhibit extraordinary regenerative capacity, surpassing even cancer cells in strength!"
Director Zhou Chuan's eyes lit up: "In that case, does it mean that Azure Nether Longevity Crane combined with Blue Silver Grass could conquer pancreatic cancer?"
Su Xiaoyin nodded: "Theoretically, yes — not only pancreatic cancer, but also lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, brain cancer, and similar diseases could be cured. However, achieving final mass production will still require additional time."
Director Zhou Chuan smiled, picked up the remote control, and turned on the television. On the screen appeared a segment of footage.
In the footage, a professor from the Cherry Blossom Country (Japan), standing before the media, was wantonly hurling extremely offensive insults at Great Xia using the most derogatory language: "The people of Great Xia are nothing but foolish Zhina pigs!"
"Our Cherry Blossom Country has recently conducted archaeological excavations at old shrine ruins and achieved a monumental breakthrough! It will not be long before the Cherry Blossom Country can produce a medicine capable of extending the lives of cancer patients by one year!" "Moreover, we possess a ten percent probability of curing patients with late-stage pancreatic cancer!"
The mustachioed professor from the Cherry Blossom Country spouted bombast with extreme arrogance.
Su Xiaoyin clenched her fists in fury: "Damn it! These bastards! The Japanese are utterly detestable! What gives them the right to act so arrogantly just because of a new archaeological find!"
Director Zhou Chuan's expression turned icy: "I have received intelligence that the Cherry Blossom Country has recently excavated certain mysterious artifacts from ancient times at their temples and shrines. Those fanatical Japanese scholars are naturally filled with haughty pride." "The life-extending medicine they mention is merely one aspect; in addition, there are biochemical agents capable of spreading disease — these must be guarded against!" "The lessons from over a century ago remain profoundly etched! These Japanese are not human — they are devils! They have committed far too many heinous acts!"
Su Xiaoyin immediately nodded: "Rest assured, Director! With the miraculous biological specimens transmitted by Tang Yi, we possess sufficient material to develop life-based pharmaceuticals and safeguard the health of our citizens!"
After a brief pause, Su Xiaoyin glanced at the "Variegated Viper" soul beast head immersed in formalin, her tone gradually turning cold: "This time, Tang Yi has not only sent the life-attribute essence of the Azure Nether Longevity Crane!" "This snake head belongs to an eight-hundred-year-old soul beast and harbors a terrifying venom unknown to Blue Star! Should the Japanese dare to act maliciously, the citizens of Great Xia will repay them tenfold, a hundredfold!"
Director Zhou Chuan laughed heartily: "Excellent! Xiaoyin! The vice-director has also granted authorization. Immediately, more than a hundred experts from across the nation will provide support!" "The development of pharmaceuticals from soul beast essential portions!" "The unlocking of soul master cultivation!" "And the second batch of supplies for Tang Yi!" "All are proceeding with full effort!"
Meanwhile, the unsuspecting Japanese scientists of the Cherry Blossom Country remained immersed in smug complacency. "Yoshi! The old ruins of the ancient shrines truly conceal profound mysteries!" "And lost samurai sword techniques from the shogunate era?" "As well as ninjutsu — only existing in legend? Like Naruto?"
The Japanese scientists harbored ambitious designs. Certain high-ranking Japanese military officers even felt the flames of war igniting within them!
...
Upon returning to Notting City, Tang Yi passed by a blacksmith shop. He happened to encounter Tang San forging iron at Shi San's blacksmith shop.
"Ding ding dang dang!" Agricultural tools and blades were being forged by Tang San.
Tang San's waist and arm strength coordinated admirably; clearly, he was employing the Random Cloak Hammering Technique taught by Tang Hao!
Tang San had long noticed Tang Yi outside the blacksmith shop. He swung the hammer with even greater vigor, the arcs becoming more perfect, and the striking sounds exceptionally crisp and resounding.
After delivering another dozen or so fierce blows, forging the iron blank into the rough shape of a short sword, Tang San turned his head as though only just noticing, wiped his face with the sweat towel draped over his shoulder, and displayed a seemingly gentle smile.
"Little brother, you're back?"
Tang San set down the hammer, picked up the still-warm rough short sword blank, and spoke with deliberate nonchalance: "Take a look — this is what I just forged. The hammering technique Father taught is indeed highly effective; it is perfectly suited for crafting weapons. Unfortunately, you never showed much interest in these matters since childhood."
Tang Yi's expression remained cool and detached. In his mind he thought: "Hah! Little San, you've started showing off now, have you?" "What is there to boast about in this lousy hammering technique?"
Tang Yi let out a cold snort. He harbored no fear of Tang San picking a fight.
