Chapter 343: Feeding Shrine

Layers of protective arrays were opened, and Chen Qi walked into the underground laboratory.

However, what he saw made him slightly stunned.

Because Xiaobai was still practicing under the evil-repelling fairy thunder, which meant that something else had triggered the early warning array.

…

"These seem to be the skeletons of different species of creatures, but they have been petrified!"

"Strange, how could there be so many skeletons of creatures underground in the Tianwu Spell Academy."

"And these petrified skeletons can actually withstand the bombardment of the evil-repelling fairy thunder."

After a check, Chen Qi finally found the source of the restlessness of the early warning array.

During the operation of the "excavation" array, everything under the earth was crushed and reshaped into higher-density rocks.

But now, there was a pile of miscellaneous skeletons scattered in the laboratory.

Not only were they not completely crushed by the array, but they were also not affected by the fossilization spell.

This naturally triggered the early warning mechanism that Chen Qi had set up before.

However, the purpose of Chen Qi setting up the early warning mechanism was mainly to hope to dig out some treasures from under the earth.

But now, the appearance of this pile of bones really surprised him.

…

"Although the evil-repelling fairy thunder triggered by the magic circle is only a trace."

"But the material below the silver level is definitely impossible to be intact."

"That is to say, the owner of this pile of bones must have been a silver apostle at least when he was alive."

Out of curiosity, Chen Qi knocked on the pile of bones and tested it.

However, the more he tested, the more uncertain Chen Qi's face became.

…

First of all, he can conclude that these bones are not all from humans.

Human bones account for only 1/10 of this pile of bones.

With Chen Qi's understanding of human bones, it is absolutely impossible to make a wrong judgment.

Among the remaining bones, most of them are humanoid creatures, but they are definitely not human.

As for what kind of life form they belong to, Chen Qi can't tell.

But what is quite strange is that although these hundreds of bones in front of him belong to more than a dozen different life forms, without exception, all have no heads.

Is this just a coincidence?

…

"If I'm not wrong, the reason why these life forms died is that they were drained of their life essence in an instant."

"Not only that, even the matrix that constitutes life was drained away, directly transformed from organic life to inorganic matter."

"If these skeletons were really all silver apostles in their lifetime, this scene would be a bit terrifying."

Relying on his attainments in the field of life, Chen Qi even took out a bronze key and knocked on the skeletons.

In the end, Chen Qi came to a conclusion that made him feel incredible.

There was no damage in these skeletons, and they should have been killed in an instant.

If there were only so many skeletons under the earth, it didn't seem to be worth making a fuss about.

But the problem is that Chen Qi just randomly chose a direction to dig. Are there really only these skeletons under the earth of Tianwu Spell Academy?

…

Three days later, in the laboratory, Chen Qi's face became more solemn.

Because the number of skeletons in front of him has reached thousands.

And the types of life forms have reached more than 30.

From the beginning to the end, Chen Qi did nothing, nor did he make any adjustments to the magic circle.

He just watched with his own eyes as the depth of the magic circle continued to rise, from 200 meters underground to 250 meters.

However, as he went deeper underground, more and more skeletons appeared.

How could Chen Qi not be shocked.

...

At a certain moment, Chen Qi wanted to adjust the digging direction of the magic circle and dig in all directions.

But Chen Qi forced himself to hold back!

For him now, the most important thing is to complete the laboratory as soon as possible.

As for how many lives are buried under the land of Tianwu Spell Academy, does it matter?

Just like before, there is no head in the newly excavated skeletons.

Chen Qi initially thought that the cause of death of these life forms was that their heads were cut off.

But after his continuous piecemeal research, Chen Qi overturned his conclusion.

Because Chen Qi did not see any marks left by chopping on the cervical vertebrae of those human beings that were pieced together completely.

The skeletons of other life forms are also in a similar situation.

...

Quite unexpectedly, Chen Qi actually saw some special marks on those cervical vertebrae.

Unfortunately, due to the long time, or the erosion of the earthly evil spirit under the earth, no wonder can be seen.

Also because of the influence of the earthly evil spirit, Chen Qi has never been able to confirm the specific age of these bones.

But according to Chen Qi's speculation, it should be before the establishment of the Tianwu Spell Academy.

In other words, the Tianwu Spell Academy is very likely to be built on a huge pile of bones.

...

"It seems quite reasonable to build the academy on a cemetery!"

Chen Qi recalled the situation in the mortal world, and it seemed that this was really a common practice in the human world.

In this case, there is nothing to delve into!

After confirming that these bones are useless except for being hard, Chen Qi casually discarded them aside.

If Xiaohong was still there, he could let it practice its claws.

But now, Xiaobai has no reaction to this pile of bones.

In order to prevent any unexpected situations from happening again during the subsequent excavation, Chen Qi decided not to leave the laboratory.

Anyway, staying here won't affect his ability to complete the questions.

…

In fact, Chen Qi has always been curious about the purpose of promoting points in the top ten super spell academies.

On the surface, it seems to be using the right to issue points to control and influence other conjuration schools.

But is it really just that?

To achieve this, the methods can be more diverse. There is no reason to just "constantly refresh the questions."

For some reason, Chen Qi always had the illusion of being harvested and working for others.

If it weren't for the fact that he had just solved the questions through the jade talisman and his spirituality had not entered the box of knowledge, Chen Qi would have thought that he had met another peer!

After all, the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" he originally developed in Blue Taro Country was quite evil.

But no matter what the truth behind it is, if Chen Qi wants to exchange for more knowledge, he can only answer the questions honestly.

After all, this is the easiest way to earn points that he currently has access to.

…

Things were calm here at Chen Qi, but the ripples caused by the duel that day continued to ferment.

The first is that freshmen are more interested in “psychic selves.”

After all, according to what those veteran students said, the reason why Chen Qi was so powerful, even using only his physical body to beat Jin Yusheng, was because he had mastered the power of [mind].

If they learned it, wouldn't they be able to soar into the sky as well?

Unfortunately, even if they want to take risks now, they have to collect 10,000 points first.

They don't have Chen Qi's speed to complete the questions, and it's impossible not to worry about it for several months.

…

Of course, some people saw Jin Yusheng's strength and became interested in [school rules].

They don't dare to carve their names on tombstones, but that doesn't mean they don't dare to "get something for nothing" by picking up the [Box of Knowledge] that falls on the ground.

There are even people who plan to take a "shortcut in life" and step into that fork in life.

Since life is mediocre now, it's better to take the risk and choose a new one.

It's a pity that these greedy guys seem to have forgotten that the reason why [school rules] are school rules is to warn and restrain them.

As a result, only a week later, dozens of new students disappeared inexplicably.

Until then, all the hot-headed guys suddenly woke up.

They are not seeking advancement, they are clearly seeking death.

So all the freshmen immediately kept the [school rules] secret and became honest again.

…

From the beginning to the end, the college never interfered in any way.

People are responsible for their own choices.

It does not mean that as long as you are admitted to the Tianwu Cursing Academy, you will have smooth sailing in cultivation, or even prosper in the other world.

How can this be?

Cultivation is ultimately a personal matter.

The long-lasting peace in the inner world seems to have made everyone forget how cruel the competition in the inner world was during the ancient cultivation era.

Fighting among the same disciples, betrayal between master and disciple, and killing each other between father and son are the norm.

For the sake of longevity and strength, the desire of intelligent life is infinitely magnified.

If you don’t fight or grab, are you practicing by drinking the northwest wind?

Even so, you have to be pushed downwind.

Compared with the ancient cultivation era, although Tianwu Cursing Academy is very indifferent, it is not dark.

…

"Why?"

"That guy was so humiliated, why didn't he allow me to retaliate!"

In a certain villa, Jin Yusheng, who had just learned how to use his hands and feet, looked at Liu Yuru in disbelief.

After his defeat that day, he had fallen into complete despair.

He had personally experienced the behavior of the Spirit Binding Society. He had suffered a huge defeat in front of everyone and would definitely be abandoned.

However, what Jin Yusheng didn't expect was that Liu Yuru from the Binding Society actually came forward to save him.

Otherwise, Jin Yusheng would not only face being abandoned, but the fused curse spirit would also be deprived of him.

Under Liu Yuru's treatment, Jin Yusheng quickly learned to crawl on all fours.

I believe that in just one month, normal time and space perception will be restored.

…

"Jin Yusheng, the reason why I kept you is so that you can take part in the [Battle for School Rules] on my behalf."

"Ask yourself, do you think you are capable of revenge now?"

"If you are still not clear-headed, then I have to consider giving up on you."

Liu Yuru looked at Jin Yusheng with a frosty face, knowing how to advance and retreat as a human being.

If you still can't see the situation clearly and risk your life before the [battle for school rules], then your efforts will be in vain.

…

"Sister Liu, I will definitely do what I promised you."

"But after I completely fused with the curse spirit, am I really still unable to defeat that guy?"

"Isn't the Curse Spirit the most powerful inheritance of the Tianwu Curse Academy?"

Even in the face of Liu Yuru's oppression, Jin Yusheng still did not give up.

He is such a person, he is a gambler and a thief, and he is ruthless to himself and others.

He regarded this failure as a great shame and humiliation, and he must take revenge until death.

…

"Jin Yusheng, who told you that [Curse Spirit] is the most powerful inheritance of Tianwu Conjuration Academy?"

"There are a lot of things involved here, and I can't explain them clearly at the moment."

"But as long as you look at the ranking of the Soul Binding Society, isn't it obvious?"

"Naturally we will not accept the insidious villain like Nantianshe."

"But the [Fei Shrine], which ranks second in the Tianwu Curse Academy, is crushing us."

"You have no idea how mysterious and powerful [mind] is."

"That guy named Chen Qi has been targeted by [Fei Shrine]."

"Face the reality. The gap between you and him will only get bigger, unless..."

Liu Yuru didn't say the rest of the sentence, but Jin Yusheng understood it instantly.

...

"Senior sister, as long as I win the school rules in the battle for [school rules], can I defeat that guy?"

"That's right, [school rules] are so powerful and mysterious, if I can control them."

"He's just a reincarnated immortal who boasted about it, I will definitely be able to trample him under my feet!"

To be honest, Jin Yusheng is just a dead duck with a stubborn mouth now.

He knows better than anyone how big the gap between him and Chen Qi is.

But he must not be "cowardly". The reason why he can attract senior sister Liu Yuru is because his personality is cruel and tough enough.

If his personality collapses now, he will probably have to lie in bed for the rest of his life.

So he can only "feel true and determined to take revenge".

If possible, Jin Yusheng doesn't want to participate in the battle for school rules on behalf of Liu Yuru at all.

He is not stupid. As a true disciple, Liu Yuru is afraid of the battle for school rules.

His mediocre skills are just to get himself killed.

But Jin Yusheng has no choice, otherwise his fate will be worse than death.

...

"That's right, as long as you can win the school rules."

"Not to mention just seeking revenge on Chen Qi, it doesn't matter even if you kill that guy!"

"After all, students can't fight each other, but school rules can."

"So if you really want revenge, you should heal your wounds now and try to merge with the curse spirit."

"Jin Yusheng, you are a smart person, don't do stupid things."

Liu Yuru issued her last warning. Under her gaze, Jin Yusheng finally nodded obediently.

Liu Yuru could of course see a trace of resentment hidden in Jin Yusheng's heart, but she didn't care.

Because this Jin Yusheng is destined to go and never come back, who made this idiot violate a school rule.

This guy's appearance is really timely, he is really a "good junior".

...

Chen Qi, who was still busy in the underground laboratory, didn't know that the unlucky Jin Yusheng was going to participate in the [School Rules Battle].

If he knew, he would definitely say, "Have a good journey!"

After all, Senior Sister Feng Zining had warned him several times about the [School Rules Battle], and Chen Qi would not be stubborn.

In fact, several previous clubs also agreed to support Chen Qi in the election for the true seed, but the condition was that Chen Qi had to participate in the [School Rules Battle].

Chen Qi was not stupid, so he naturally would not agree.

Although until now, Chen Qi didn't know what the [School Rules Battle] meant.

But just from the three school rules he had come into contact with, he could know the horror of it.

No wonder Senior Sister Feng Zining was not sure she could survive.

...

At this time, another week had passed since the bones were dug out.

Chen Qi's underground laboratory was finally completed.

In this space of tens of thousands of square meters, various large and small extraordinary equipment were placed all over the floor, waiting for Chen Qi to carry out the final installation and debugging.

If the most eye-catching thing on the open space is the pile of bones that looks like a small mountain, there are thousands of them.

Chen Qi is now very sure that the Tianwu Spell School is definitely built on a very large cemetery.

This thing is so unlucky that Chen Qi is too lazy to put it into the space ring, so he just piled it together casually.

Of course, after all the equipment is installed, Chen Qi will definitely practice with these bones first.

…

"Crack, crack!"

In the underground laboratory, golden arcs flickered continuously.

In order to prevent any messy evil things under the earth, even if Xiaobai has awakened, Chen Qi still lets it continue to maintain the operation of the magic circle.

After all, apart from Xiaobai, Chen Qi can't think of a second way to continuously stimulate the evil-repelling fairy thunder.

The ground under the Tianwu Spell School is so weird, and the experiment that Chen Qi is going to conduct is so important. Without the protection of the evil-repelling fairy thunder, Chen Qi feels uneasy.

…

In just one day, Chen Qi installed hundreds of extraordinary equipment.

This time, Chen Qi did not place them randomly, but connected them through the magic circle to turn them into a super large experimental platform.

Chen Qi even used some material alchemy methods to repair various extraordinary equipment, or even upgrade them.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Qi's laboratory almost seized 1/10 of the Jidao Organization's foundation in Shengxian Island.

These are all sponsored by the old irons!

…

After the experimental equipment was installed, Chen Qi was about to conduct a test, and the villa's protective magic circle was triggered again.

This appearance is really timely!

Chen Qi, who was unhappy, thought that Su Hongxue had come to visit again.

After all, he is now a hot commodity, and maybe Lingjiu Society is thinking about him again.

However, what Chen Qi did not expect was that he saw a strange man through the magic circle.

…

“Junior brother Chen, I am Jade God of [Shijin Shrine], and I have come to visit [Reincarnated Immortal].”

“I wonder if you are willing to show up and see me!”

Outside the villa, Jade God seemed to have noticed that someone was spying on him through the magic circle.

But he was not unhappy at all, and he made a very peaceful invitation to meet.

“[Shijin Shrine] Jade God, interesting!”

In the underground laboratory, Chen Qi’s eyes first flashed with a hint of surprise, and then became extremely solemn.

This Jade Goddess is not here to see Chen Qi, he is visiting the [Reincarnated Immortal].

The significance and difference between this is huge.

…

Feeding Shrine, the second-ranked club in Tianwu Curse Academy, second only to the extremely mysterious [Tongyou Society].

Chen Qi could barely get some information about this shrine.

As for the [Tongyou Society], not even Senior Sister Caroline has had any contact with it, and it is completely shrouded in mist.

…

"It is rumored that [Fei Shrine] only recruits students with strong minds!"

"As early as that day when I showed the power of my mind, I knew that this scene would happen today."

"But what Yu Shenzi said just now seems to confirm that the superego I use to shape my mind is the [Reincarnated Immortal]."

"That's why he claimed that he came to visit the reincarnated immortal."

"It's a visit, not a meeting. In other words, the Jade God's mind must be very unusual."

"interesting!"

…

The shrine's mysteries successfully aroused Chen Qi's curiosity.

Chen Qi now has a guess and wants to confirm it urgently.

Compared with this conjecture, the testing of experimental equipment is not that important.
