Here is the English translation of the provided text, rendered in a clear and natural manner while preserving the original meaning and tone:
"Zhou Chuan, Xiaoyin, the Nineteenth Research Institute had better guard the patent barriers for the [Blue Silver Pill] well."
Deputy Director Dou Chen looked at the long procurement list in his hand, his tone grave.
The sales of the [Blue Silver Pill] had far exceeded expectations. The greater its success, the more imperative it was to protect the core technology.
Su Xiaoyin nodded. "Please rest assured, Deputy Director. The biological gene cloning technology used in the ordinary version of the [Blue Silver Pill], along with its key steps and core processes, has been classified as top secret. Even if someone obtained the finished product, the likelihood of reverse-engineering it would be negligible."
Su Xiaoyin paused briefly before continuing: "As for the enhanced version of the [Blue Silver Pill], there is even less cause for concern. The leaves of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Empress currently allow for a maximum production run of only one hundred thousand bottles."
"Producing the enhanced version requires a continuous supply of fresh leaf samples from Tang Yi on the Douluo Continent. This constitutes a natural monopoly that no one can replicate."
Dou Chen gave a slight nod, indicating for her to proceed.
"In addition, we possess the most critical variant—the super version of the [Blue Silver Pill]."
Su Xiaoyin lowered her voice: "This is refined from the purest chlorophyll essence extracted from Blue Silver Empress leaves. At present, only one hundred bottles exist, and each one can be regarded as a strategic-grade reserve."
"Detailed efficacy data are still undergoing further testing, but preliminary results indicate remarkable effects on cellular regeneration, organ repair, and even gene-level damage restoration."
Deputy Director Dou Chen's eyes brightened momentarily before returning to calm.
After a brief pause, he spoke slowly: "Xiaoyin, you have performed admirably. The Supreme Science and Technology Academy has already reported your team's progress to the head of the Purple-Gold Pavilion. In the near future, there will be a new round of resource allocation specifically dedicated to supporting Tang Yi's requirements."
His tone grew even more solemn: "Tang Yi is a great contributor to Great Xia. The blue silver grass he brought has given Great Xia the [Blue Silver Pill]. This merit will not be forgotten by Great Xia."
Su Xiaoyin nodded firmly, a warm current rising in her heart.
With Deputy Director Dou Chen's support and the full backing of Great Xia, she felt greater confidence in preparing for the next transmission.
...
Outside the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San's face was filled with excitement.
Thanks to the exceptional talent afforded by his twin martial souls, Tang San had cultivated to level 20 at remarkable speed!
Yu Xiaogang was highly satisfied: "Little San, you have done very well!"
"Your talent is the finest I have ever seen!"
"I have already sent a message to Director Ferdinand. We will wait here until he finishes his affairs, after which he will join us."
Yu Xiaogang spoke with an air of profound mystery.
Tang San looked somewhat puzzled: "Teacher, you invited Director Ferdinand to come?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded: "Yes, Little San. Now that you possess twenty levels of soul power, it is time to obtain your second soul ring!"
As he spoke, he took out a slightly yellowed book from his robes, opened it to a certain page, and pointed to an illustration: "I have reviewed every soul beast compendium and record I could find, and I have ultimately selected the most suitable source for your second soul ring—a Ghost Vine of over six hundred years."
Tang San leaned in to look.
The illustration depicted a dark-purple vine-type soul beast covered in dense, fine barbs—an appearance rather sinister.
"The Ghost Vine soul beast belongs to the control category. It possesses tenacious vitality, and its accompanying toxin can effectively paralyze opponents," Yu Xiaogang explained. "It complements your Blue Silver Grass martial soul perfectly. Acquiring its soul ring will significantly enhance your control capabilities."
Tang San nodded repeatedly, his eyes brimming with anticipation.
After a moment, Yu Xiaogang sighed: "Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the Hunting Soul Forest was previously breached by an unidentified powerhouse. Even a two-thousand-year Azure Nether Longevity Crane soul beast was slain. Ghost Vine soul beasts used to exist there, but they were likely frightened away by that powerhouse's aura."
"The Ghost Vines have fled, so we can only come to the far more dangerous Star Dou Great Forest to search!"
"Now, we can only rely on Director Ferdinand's assistance!"
Yu Xiaogang explained the situation.
"To slay even a two-thousand-year soul beast—what kind of terrifying existence must that be!"
A trace of longing appeared in Tang San's eyes.
"The Azure Nether Longevity Crane is not a strong-attack-type soul beast!" Yu Xiaogang analyzed. "By the time you reach level thirty-nine Soul Elder, Little San, you will have a realistic chance of defeating one!"
"By the way, Teacher! What is Director Ferdinand's strength?"
Tang San asked curiously.
Yu Xiaogang immediately swelled with pride: "Director Ferdinand, as the head of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, naturally possesses formidable strength! He is already a forty-third-level Soul Elder!"
Tang San could not help but draw in a sharp breath: "A forty-something-level Soul Elder powerhouse?"
"I never imagined the director's strength would be so impressive!"
After all, at this moment Tang San was merely a child slightly over seven years old.
His teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was only a twenty-ninth-level Great Soul Master.
"Indeed. With Director Ferdinand present, hunting a six-hundred-year Ghost Vine soul beast will be effortless!"
Yu Xiaogang declared with evident satisfaction.
"Thank you, Teacher! Without you, I would be no different from the other students in the academy. How could I possibly have the director personally hunt a soul beast for me?"
Tang San felt deep gratitude in his heart.
At Notting Academy, the vast majority of students obtained first and second soul rings from ten-year or twenty-to-thirty-year soul beasts.
Century-old soul beasts were exceedingly rare for ordinary students, simply because their teachers were generally Great Soul Masters of twenty-something levels like Yu Xiaogang.
Even the more outstanding ones, such as Director Su, were merely Soul Elders slightly above level thirty.
Hunting century-old soul beasts carried danger.
It was beyond their capability.
In the original plot trajectory, Yu Xiaogang had initially planned for Tang San to absorb a ten-year solitary bamboo soul beast's ring.
However, Tang San—being a transmigrator with outstanding innate talent, Tang Sect hidden weapons, and the Mysterious Heaven Technique—changed that outcome.
Otherwise, master and disciple would have perished at the fangs of the four-hundred-year Man-Eating Demonic Snake.
It was precisely after that incident that Yu Xiaogang gained a clear understanding of his own limitations.
He also became far more cautious and fearful of death.
This time, securing Director Ferdinand's assistance was not due to Yu Xiaogang's personal influence.
Rather, he had relied on his status as a direct-line disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Although Yu Xiaogang repeatedly proclaimed within the clan that he wished to sever ties with the sect, when outside he frequently leveraged his direct-line disciple identity to gain advantages, favors, and hospitality.
Director Ferdinand naturally held great respect for one of the Upper Three Sects—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang had openly revealed his identity as the son of Thunderclap Douluo Yu Yuanzhen.
Naturally, Director Ferdinand readily agreed to his request.
After waiting approximately two to three days, Director Ferdinand finally arrived in haste.
"Master, my apologies! The mayor of Notting City insisted on convening an emergency meeting, so I had to make arrangements at the academy first!"
Director Ferdinand offered his apology.
A flicker of displeasure crossed Yu Xiaogang's face: "Ferdinand, I hope you will not make us wait so long again in the future!"
