The factory area of the electric vehicle plant was vast. The places chosen for burying things were in the green belts near the perimeter wall, where the soil was loose and easy to dig.
In just one hour, Long Xiao had dug up all the items. He had Xiao Ming carry them in bags back to the gatehouse.
As soon as the items were placed on the table, a small red head emerged from Long Xiao's clothes.
Sensing the movement of the 'Chi Yan Worm', Long Xiao chuckled and said, "Come out, the malevolent energy is yours."
The 'Chi Yan Worm' crawled out and landed on the newly unearthed magical artifacts. In less than a minute, all the Yin malevolent energy from these artifacts was completely absorbed by it.
Seeing the 'Chi Yan Worm', Xiao Ming recoiled a few steps, his large eyes fixed on it nervously.
Others had never seen the 'Chi Yan Worm' before and were curious about this flying red insect.
Ban Jianghong reached out to touch it, but Xiao Ming quickly shouted, "Don't touch it, it'll roast you!"
Startled, Ban Jianghong quickly retracted her hand and looked at Long Xiao, "Long Xiao, what kind of worm is this?"
Long Xiao introduced the 'Chi Yan Worm' to everyone. The 'Chi Yan Worm' seemed to understand that Long Xiao was talking about it. It perched on Long Xiao's shoulder and looked at everyone in the room with pride.
The Chi Yan Worm could devour Yin malevolent energy, and the Yin malevolent energy, upon entering its body, would quickly transform into pure Yang energy.
Because the 'Chi Yan Worm' followed Long Xiao, and Long Xiao possessed its pure Yang energy within him, every time the Yin malevolent energy devoured by the 'Chi Yan Worm' transformed into pure Yang energy, the pure Yang energy within Long Xiao would also increase.
Normally, the 'Chi Yan Worm' resided in the pocket of Long Xiao's upper garment, appearing drowsy all day. However, as soon as it detected any nearby Yin malevolent energy, it would immediately awaken.
The pure Yang energy gained by Long Xiao entered his dan tian and would slowly transform into his own Five Elements Qi. Although this process was somewhat slow, it was several times faster than him cultivating solely on his own.
Without their Yin malevolent energy, the few magical artifacts were useless. Long Xiao had Xiao Ming take them out and throw them in the trash.
The issue with the electric vehicle plant was considered resolved. Long Xiao informed Zhao Tongxiang to come and take over the factory the next day.
He was to expedite the mass production of batteries and charging piles, and simultaneously improve the configuration of the electric vehicles.
"Brother Long, where should I put my battery?"
Zhao Tongxiang felt that placing the battery anywhere was unsafe; only by staying with Long Xiao was it most secure.
Long Xiao glanced at the battery, then at Xiao Ming, and said, "Put it with Xiao Ming's cleaver."
"This thing can't be eaten, if you put it in my backpack, where will my snacks go?" Xiao Ming reluctantly said.
"It's just for a few days temporarily. How about this, one roast duck a day, what do you say?"
"Too little, five."
Long Xiao waved his hand, "Just one. If you're not willing, I'll take it myself."
Xiao Ming snatched the battery from Zhao Tongxiang's hand and said, "You're my boss. For your sake, I'll reluctantly keep it for a few days."
The battery was placed in Xiao Ming's backpack, and Xiao Ming now had an extra bag for snacks.
In the evening, Long Xiao escorted Zhao Tongxiang to Xinglin Caotang, where Luo Tianshui was present, ensuring safety.
Zhao Tongxiang's safety was as important as the battery's. Long Xiao gave him Mi Tianfu's car and arranged for Xin Yifei to drive him, with Luo Tianshui as his personal bodyguard.
There were still two days until the grand opening of Xuanxiao Group. Before it even opened, Xinglin Caotang encountered a problem: two out of the more than ten cancer patients being treated in the back courtyard died overnight.
Xinglin Caotang immediately announced a temporary closure for rectification. Subsequently, the medical administration dispatched personnel to investigate, and the patients' families, accompanied by a crowd, surrounded Xinglin Caotang.
Long Xiao arrived at the alley entrance of Xinglin Caotang and saw the alley packed with people. They held banners, accusing Xinglin Caotang of disregarding human lives and demanding justice for the deceased patients.
Inside Xinglin Caotang, the uninformed cancer patients were in a panic. Some patients requested to be discharged.
After Sun Sizu and Li Yizhen's efforts to appease them all morning, the patients stopped demanding to be discharged. However, they presented a condition: they would only accept treatment from the two divine doctors.
After arranging everything, Tong Hui hid Zhao Tianli and another patient. To maintain realism, apart from Sun Sizu and Li Yizhen, he did not disclose Long Xiao's plan to anyone else.
Mi Tianfu and Mingyue both called Long Xiao to report on the situation at Xinglin Caotang.
Long Xiao told them to stay put at Xinglin Caotang obediently, as the people outside would not cause too much trouble.
The presence of two great divine doctors from Donghai making house calls at Xinglin Caotang, and Xinglin Caotang's ability to treat cancer, caused its reputation to soar. Everyone in Donghai knew about Xinglin Caotang.
When Xinglin Caotang encountered this incident, major media outlets and a large number of influencers quickly arrived in front of Xinglin Caotang, disseminating the situation rapidly.
Within a day, the entire Huaxia knew that there was a Xinglin Caotang in Donghai that could treat cancer, and it had caused a death.
Everyone who knew the connection between Long Xiao and Xinglin Caotang called Long Xiao to inquire about the situation.
Jingkou Gorou had not yet taken the bait, and it was not yet time to reveal the truth, so Long Xiao could not explain. He handed his phone to Xiao Ming to answer the calls.
Xiao Ming took the phone, looking troubled, and said, "Boss, someone is asking where you are, what should I say?"
"Anything, just don't say I'm sleeping in the room."
After speaking, Long Xiao returned to his room and lay on the bed, contemplating the cultivation techniques in the 'Dragon Scripture'.
In the past few days, the 'Chi Yan Worm' had provided him with a considerable amount of pure Yang Qi. He wanted to find a technique to quickly convert this Qi into his usable Five Elements Qi.
Xiao Ming, holding Long Xiao's phone, returned to his room with a troubled expression, tossed the phone onto the bed, and began to eat roast duck.
Twelve roast ducks and a large bag of snacks were enough for him to eat for a day.
Before he had finished even one roast duck, the phone rang.
Pressing the answer button, Xiao Ming said, "Long Xiao is my boss, I am his assistant, Xiao Ming."
"Where is your boss? Let him answer the phone," the other party asked.
Xiao Ming didn't know where to say Long Xiao had gone, and he couldn't keep the other party waiting indefinitely, so he casually replied, "The boss is taking a bath with the boss's wife."
Several consecutive calls received the same answer, and the other party hung up without asking further questions.
This method was good, and Xiao Ming said it out of habit.
After eating the second roast duck, the phone rang again. Xiao Ming wiped his hands, pressed the answer button, and said loudly, "Long Xiao is my boss, I am his assistant Xiao Ming. The boss is taking a bath with the boss's wife and is unable to take the call."
"Xiao Ming, who is that guy Long Xiao taking a bath with?" Lin Xuan's angry roar came from the phone.
Xiao Ming knew he had gotten into trouble and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Boss's wife, I misspoke, I said it wrong."
"Xiao Ming, don't lie. Who is Long Xiao taking a bath with?"
"No one. I don't know anything."
After speaking, Xiao Ming, fearing that Lin Xuan would ask more questions, simply turned off his phone.
