"Given the current situation in Luofu, we can discuss this matter later."
Jing Yuan smiled and nodded to Gui Naifen.
Given the current situation on Xianzhou, he has no time to deal with such trivial matters.
"Yes, General! No problem, General!"
Gui Naifen excitedly took Yuehen's arm. If they weren't in front of the general, she would have kissed Changchang to express her gratitude!
"As for Su Chang..."
Jing Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled in a very approachable way: "I have a task for you now."
Yuehen's heart stirred slightly, and then he imitated the little pillow's silly appearance: "Yes, General, no problem, General!"
When you make a great contribution, but your leader doesn't reward you and instead continues to assign you tasks, there are likely two possibilities.
Firstly, the leader was born into the family and took credit for everything.
Secondly, this is a test.
"You keep an eye on two suspicious individuals for me. If they do anything harmful to Luofu, stop them immediately and then notify me."
Just as Jing Yuan was worrying about who would keep an eye on his master and that merchant when he went to the Pill Refining Department, Su Chang delivered herself to his doorstep.
Jing Yuan planned to test Su Chang through this mission.
If she performs exceptionally well, then once the incident is over, Su Chang will be groomed as the future heir of Luofu. Even if she doesn't become a general, she will certainly be given important responsibilities!
"Alright, Yunqi Suchang, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Yuehen smiled.
There were only a few people Jingyuan couldn't take his eyes off at this moment: Sister Jingliu and Sister Sushang have arrived!

Chapter 306 March 7: Something's not right with you, something's not right with either of you!
"Is this where the root system of the Jianmu tree is located?"
"Ah."
March 7th gripped the control stick of the Bird God, looking down at Kozoku through the Demon God's vision.
"The situation looks terrible."
The once orderly cluster of buildings, like interlocking gears, has now been transformed into a purgatory where the roots of trees and the wreckage of machinery dance together.
The pillars were twisted into braids by golden-green vines, the eaves with their mortise and tenon joints were hanging with half of their ingenious remains, and the roof tiles were cracking as the plants grew wildly.
The possessed machines all went out of control and wreaked havoc everywhere. Sora saw the dog-shaped machine crash into half of the attic, which had a kind of husky-like beauty to it.
"Tsk tsk, could this really be a mechanical doll modeled after a husky?"
"Does being in a normal state make you cute?"
Somewhat reluctant, March 7th still pulled the control lever, and the Bird God released several wind energy bullets, which accurately hit the dog-shaped machine that was tearing at the support column.
Machines are similar to robots, but different from intelligent machines; they have no personality, they are just programs.
When it becomes a source of danger, the best option is to eliminate it first.
Along the way, Xing kept peering out through the Dragon God's super vision. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she looked up at the end of her line of sight:
"That must be the wood spirit Master Gongshu mentioned, right?"
Several thousand meters away, two or three hundred meters in the air, floated a bronze furnace emitting a bluish-green light.
According to Master Gongshu, that is the most precious treasure of the Craftsmen's Office—the Creation Furnace!
Although it is called a furnace, it does not resemble a furnace in people's minds. It is more like a die with more than a dozen sides, with a complex topological structure. It is about 100 meters in diameter and the furnace body is engraved with talismans.
Industrial manufacturing and weapons research and development all require energy. Whether it is industrial manufacturing, the driving energy core of the mechanical beasts, or even the energy used by the immortal ship to travel through the starry sea, a portion of the energy comes from the Creation Furnace.
If we compare it to Earth, it would be like a giant, radiation-free nuclear reactor.
However, the internal reaction is not carried out by radioactive elements such as uranium and plutonium, but by the more useful essence of sparks, energy life forms, and the year sun.
More than a thousand years ago, the leader of the Suiyang clan, Da Suiyang Liaoyuan, fought against the previous Luofu General Teng Xiao in Suiyuan. He was defeated and could no longer reunite, scattering into different fragments of his spirit.
If Star Iron were a management simulation strategy game, then Wildfire Fragments would definitely be a valuable energy source for power generation in the Immortal Boat region.
Most of the Suiyang clan members are like this; they almost always harm others, and after causing trouble, they are sealed on a certain immortal ship and become batteries.
In a sense, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and lifelong labor to repay the damages he caused and make up for the losses suffered by the Immortal Ship.
"Wait! Look, that branch—is it trying to break the stove?"
The sharp-eyed March 7th was the first to see what was happening and let out a gasp.
The Creation Furnace originally floated in the air at a height of two or three hundred meters. Although this height is not considered very high, the tallest building in the Bureau of Construction is only a little over one hundred meters high, and the surrounding area is a no-fly zone designated by the Bureau.
Apart from the workers specifically assigned to them, there are basically no other people or machines that can be encountered.
Now, the roots of the Jianmu tree have traversed more than a thousand meters underground, piercing through the rock strata and emerging from the ground directly beneath the furnace of creation.
Countless gnarled roots, like giant green pythons soaring into the sky, intertwine and entwine the furnace of creation.
"Hiss~ Buhou! It's the legendary mother's embrace!"
Xing gasped.
"Huh? Honey, your mom's clinging?"
I was completely confused on March 7th.
"Ah Qi, you don't know this, but the entanglement of one's own mother is a divine king technique!"
Qiong explained with a deep and serious expression.
The thickest veins firmly bind and adhere to the oven.
The roots, glowing with a bluish aura, moved like snakes, scratching and prodding at the Kan trigram position at the bottom of the furnace. They slowly broke through the thin energy membrane, then swiftly drilled through, completely shattering the protective array and rushing into it.
"Ew! It's so astringent!"
"That wood spirit is shameless! How could it do such a thing in front of a one-year-old child!"
Xing blushed and her heart pounded at the sight. She reached out and covered Qiong's eyes, speaking gently in the tone of an older sister coaxing her younger brother:
"Qiongzai, we don't watch such lewd stuff!"
"Clam?"
On March 7th, the ahoge (cowlick) on his head slowly curled into a strange question mark, staring at the Dragon God with an eerie look.
"Something's wrong with you!!"
How could anyone possibly understand the absurdity of Jianmu Susheng's rampage?!
And another thing, are you even one year old?
A one-year-old beating up a doomsday beast?
Overturn all of Belloberg's trash cans?
Hurry up and apologize to every one-year-old child in the universe!
"Never mind her. This girl has been reading too many doujinshi about the pharmacist sister and the little devil Lan lately. She's got plant root play in her head. She even insisted on dragging me to try it out before."
Qiong grasped the gray-haired girl's fair wrist, pulled her delicate white hand away, and waved indifferently at March 7.
"Oh... wait, something's not right with you two!"
March 7th nodded instinctively, and only after her clever brain understood the meaning of her words did she suddenly jump up from the driver's seat, her pretty face blushing.
"What are you talking about?!"
"Xing has been reading too many doujinshi, so she dragged you to try it out... Is that something you should say?"
And what kind of book was she reading?
Pharmacist Sister and Xiong Xiaogui Lan?
On March 7th, I was stunned and my brain gradually became overloaded.
Just as that forked branch penetrated deep into the furnace of creation, a strange symbiotic phenomenon emerged at the point where the remaining roots of the Jianmu tree came into contact with the furnace wall.
The root clusters and the furnace of creation seem to be completely integrated, looking from a distance like the stems and buds of an unopened lotus flower.
The gilded cloud patterns on the furnace body were dyed into dark red veins resembling blood vessels, and the blue spiritual fire leaking from the furnace core surged along the roots.
"It is absorbing the energy of the furnace of creation!"
Qiong raised an eyebrow and called out, "Aqi! Speed up and take us there quickly."
"oh oh!"
On March 7th, he raised his hand and tapped his head, squeezing out the slightly colored substance to clear his mind and avoid interfering with his work.
She slammed the control lever, and the Bird God accelerated, breaking through the air blast.
"Take this arrow from me first!"
The Bird God gathered wind waves from its mouth, and the light sphere carrying the power of the wind shot through the air.
As if sensing the approaching threat, the roots of the Jianmu tree intertwined and formed a wooden shield, which was then bombarded by energy cannons and exploded.
As the smoke cleared, a dent appeared where the wooden shield had been hit, and the entire shield was damaged to two different degrees.
"It works!"
“Ah Qi, saying this at a time like this is like setting a flag.”
Xing shook his head and sighed.
The Bird God's attack power was not high, but the wooden shield was still badly damaged by the blast, which shows that the Jianmu root's defensive power was not outstanding.
But as soon as Xing finished speaking, the wooden shield was restored to its original state in a mere second, and the remaining roots coiled around the Creation Furnace to form layers of protection.
"Ah, this..."
On March 7th, his expression froze, then froze again.
The second reason for the stagnation was that the energy drawn out was too enormous, so much so that a bluish-white energy cloud formed around the gnarled roots, causing the plants, trees, and vines to grow faster and more luxuriantly.
The abundant energy formed dozens of dazzling golden ribbons among the branches and leaves of the Jianmu tree, and together with the energy in the root system, they converged to the ground.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground, and a seedling broke through the soil, growing into a bluish-gold flower bud at a visible speed, and continuing to grow.
"That thing grows so fast!"
Amidst exclamations on March 7th, the flower buds had grown to a size of tens of meters.
"Yo~!"
Accompanied by a deer's cry that seemed to pierce the heavens, a giant flower bud surrounded by dazzling light bursts open.
The golden pollen, sprayed out like divine light, illuminated the sky set up by the industrial company as if it were daytime, and even the distant dark alleys were brightly lit.
A massive deer, over thirty meters long and nearly seventy meters in length, emerged from the flower bud.
It has two horns like the branches of a dark tree, and a pale golden glow surrounds it, with branches and flowers floating faintly in the glow.
"What kind of monster is this?"
March 7th blinked. Isn't Jianmu a plant?
How did an animal suddenly grow out?
"Truly a miracle, creating life with a mere flick of the wrist. This power is truly astounding..."
The arrival of the Abundant Black Deer was a grand spectacle; all the survivors in the core area could hear its cry and see its ever-burning vitality.
Huanlong narrowed her long, narrow fox eyes, gazing at the black deer that emerged from the flower bud. Sensing Bronya's gaze, she immediately composed herself and asked.
"Miss Bronya, it seems our benefactors have encountered some serious trouble. Should we still go over?"
"of course."
Secondary Silverwing said with a smile, "Let's go, we'll follow behind Mr. Walter."
As soon as he noticed the commotion, Lao Yang manipulated the War God to change direction and head towards the Jianmu root system where the starry sky was located.
