Chapter 344: The Art of Mining and Refining
"I was busy doing some experiments just now, so I kept you waiting!"
"I'm honored to visit you!"
For the first time, Chen Qi invited the "guest" into the villa. Yu Shenzi from the Shijin Shrine was qualified.
Of course, the most important thing was that Chen Qi's underground laboratory had been completely completed, and he no longer had to worry about being detected by the "digging".
...
"Junior brother is really a hard worker, no wonder he can make rapid progress!"
Yu Shenzi glanced at the reception room where there was not even a cup of hot water. Well, there was dust all over the floor, so don't expect too much.
According to his information, this place has not been used since Chen Qi moved in.
This time, Yu Shenzi was also honored!
...
"I wonder what advice you have for me this time?"
"I've heard of the name of the Shijin Shrine for a long time!"
Chen Qi had no sense of being inadequate in hospitality and went straight to the point.
He seemed to be very calm and casual, but deep down he was like a pot of boiling water.
…
Damn, my previous intuition was indeed correct.
There is also something powerful in the body of Jade God Son.
But compared to the curse spirit in Jin Yusheng's body, the existence in Jade God Son's body is more secretive and incredible.
If Chen Qi had not had some understanding of the human body's small world when fighting with Yuan Jun.
If Chen Qi had not seen the art of conferring gods when fighting with Selina.
Chen Qi really couldn't sense the specialness of Jade God Son.
The Shi Shen Society is really worthy of its name!
A [God] was also born in the inner world of Jade God Son.
Could this be the origin of his name Jade God Son?
…
Compared to other clubs that do not change their names, the members of Shi Shen Society have their own unique names.
For example, Jade God Son, this is definitely not his real name.
It's a pity that Jade God Son's butt hasn't even landed on the bench, and his old background has been seen through.
I really don't know how Jade God Son will react after learning the truth.
It should be unbelievable, right?
After all, their Shijin Shrine has always been mysterious, and even members of other clubs find it difficult to see through their details at a glance.
Although Chen Qi claims to be a reincarnated immortal, he has only been in school for more than a month. What can he know?
I am afraid he has not even heard of his name, Jade God Son.
…
And the fact is indeed so. Chen Qi has just known Jade God Son.
But this does not prevent him from seeing through Jade God Son's details.
Chen Qi did not expect that his many experiences in Shengxian Island could still play a role after entering the school.
…
“Junior, since you are a straightforward person, I will not beat around the bush!”
“The purpose of my coming this time is to hope that you can join our [Shishen Society].”
“We have already learned about the battle between you and Jin Yusheng afterwards.”
“Your mental power has already met our requirements for joining the society.”
“Our Shishen Society is eager for talents, so I came to visit you this time.”
Yu Shenzi told the truth that what they valued was Chen Qi’s powerful [mind].
Only this kind of [mind] with a strong foundation can cultivate the inheritance of their [Shishen Society].
It’s a pity that there are too few such talents, so Yu Shenzi took the initiative to visit.
For ordinary students, major clubs are out of reach.
But for clubs that are always facing competition, they are also eager for all kinds of talents.
In the final analysis, if a club wants to continue to grow, it still depends on people.
…
“Senior, I can feel your sincerity!”
“But I just entered the school, and the Shijin Shrine is too mysterious. I know nothing about it.”
“I wonder if you can tell me some details, such as why your club chose us who have strong minds!”
Chen Qi’s face was excited and confused. He seemed to be full of yearning for the Shijin Shrine, but he was a little hesitant.
It’s a pity that Yu Shenzi never thought that Chen Qi, at such a young age, had already become an actor after years of training.
After all, Chen Qi’s current performance is completely in line with his identity as a newcomer to the school.
The reason why Chen Qi did this was naturally to learn more from Yu Shenzi.
The clubs of Tianwu Jushu Academy are too mysterious. Since the Shijin Shrine can rank second, it must know more.
I hope Brother Yu Shenzi will be a good person!
…
"Junior, you are a very honest person!"
"Well, you just entered the school, and you have never been exposed to many things."
"Then I will tell you about it today!"
Chen Qi is very popular now. Yu Shenzi knows very well that this guy is really not short of clubs to join.
It is rare that a person with a strong mind is born among this batch of freshmen, and he must be pulled into their camp.
…
"Although you have born [mind], your understanding and use of mind are still too shallow."
"[Mind] is the fundamental inheritance of Tianwu Spell Academy. Its wonderful uses are not just those that you have come into contact with before."
"For example..."
Yu Shenzi casually cast a spell that Chen Qi is quite familiar with, [Telepathy].
Incredibly, a lifelike butterfly appeared at Yu Shenzi's fingertips.
All the details are so real. If Chen Qi had not sensed the spiritual fluctuations from this butterfly, he would have almost thought that Yu Shenzi really created a butterfly.
The butterfly fluttered its wings and began to dance in front of Chen Qi, and finally flew to the garden inside the villa, hovering over the colorful flowers in full bloom.
Chen Qi was extremely sure that from beginning to end, Jade God Son had not exerted any influence on the butterfly, and all these actions were all from the butterfly's instinct.
If it was other spells with complex structures, it might be possible that Jade God Son had added an intelligent program to it.
But the structure of the message spell was too simple, and it was difficult to even send a text message, so it was impossible to achieve such a simulation.
...
"Junior, do you feel incredible?"
"The butterfly I created with the spell is so real, but I didn't use a more complex spell structure in it."
"The reason why I can do this is because I used my mind to strip the information of a certain butterfly and melt it into the spell."
"This is the most famous [Art of Refining] of our Tianwu Spell Academy, and it is also the origin of the name of our Tianwu Spell Academy."
"Witch, communicate with heaven and earth, and refine all kinds of weather in the world!"
"And this weather refers to the information stripped from tangible objects."
"When you, junior, have an unmovable heart, you can practice [Art of Refining], refine various weather, and integrate it into the spell to enhance its power."
"We generally call it [Spell Communication]!"
Yu Shenzi told the origin of the name of Tianwu Spell Academy in a very understated manner.
Then he was very satisfied to see Chen Qi, who was shocked.
Newcomers are so unworldly and make a fuss.
...
To be honest, Chen Qi was really shocked this time, without any performance.
Chen Qi had never thought that there was such a magical thing as [Collecting and Refining Technique] in the world.
It can actually strip information from tangible objects and use it.
Doesn't that mean that as long as you want, the information of various flowers, birds, fish, insects, and powerful lives can be stripped.
Not only that, mountains, rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, these natural scenes can also be stripped.
Is this the ability of [Witch]?
...
Since peeping into the sea of information, Chen Qi knew that everything in the world is dissipating its information structure every moment.
He can see it and add fuel to the flames, but he can't capture it accurately at all.
If [Collecting and Refining Technique] only collected these scattered information structures, then Chen Qi would not be so shocked.
But Yu Shenzi used [Stripping], which is worth thinking about.
Could the Collecting and Refining Technique also forcibly deprive life and material information structures?
With the power and mystery of the mind, this is not impossible.
Because [Root] can really interfere with everything in the world.
...
Chen Qi had never thought that the name of the Tianwu Spell Academy actually hid such a mystery.
Witches are "sacrificers" born when all intelligent races were just born because of their fear of the world.
It can be said that it was through the witches' sacrifices to the world that intelligent life came into contact with extraordinary power and began to practice.
Of course, as intelligent races became more and more powerful, and even a complete practice system was born, witches were naturally eliminated.
But [Witch] is the starting point of the history of every intelligent race after all, and this name has been passed down.
Of course, each intelligent race has different names for [Witch]. Some are called pioneers, and some are called pioneers.
And in human civilization, they are called witches.
...
Unlike [Xian], which has been widely circulated in a long history and among many intelligent races.
[Witch] is only circulated in human civilization, and is the most intelligent group of people in early human civilization.
Like the pioneers of other civilizations, after human civilization developed various practice systems, witches were only passed down as a cultural symbol.
If it was before, Chen Qi would think like other people in the inner world that the reason why witches disappeared was because they were too weak.
Other cultivation systems developed from human civilization eliminated witches by virtue of their strength.
But after seeing the [Art of Refining], Chen Qi didn't think so.
I'm afraid that witches were eliminated not because they were too weak.
On the contrary, it was because they were too powerful, and they were naturally powerful.
And this kind of power probably requires some extremely rare talent, and also requires a terrible price.
So after comprehensive cost-effectiveness, they withdrew from the stage of history.
...
This is not Chen Qi's blind guess, but there is a basis for reasoning.
These new method practitioners are already incredible, but in order to concentrate their minds, the spiritual frequency must reach at least 175.
Even after cultivating an immovable heart, they can refine the world's atmosphere.
If a witch is born like this, you can imagine how special it will be. I'm afraid that the entire intelligent race can't produce a few.
It is normal for such extremely rare individuals to fade out of the historical stage after the number of intelligent species spreads to hundreds of billions or trillions.
…
"Could it be that the rise of the Tianwu Spell Academy is due to the inheritance of the [Witch]?"
A thought suddenly emerged in Chen Qi's mind. It is rumored that the top ten super spell academies have mastered some ancient inheritances. This may not be impossible.
However, when Chen Qi asked Yu Shenzi about this, the latter actually smiled awkwardly.
Because of this issue, Yu Shenzi himself did not know how to talk about it.
After all, he was just an ordinary member of the Shiki Shrine, so how could he be exposed to such fundamental issues?
…
“Junior, don’t be fooled by the fact that our college has many clubs, but they can be roughly divided into two categories.”
“The first category is because of the associations that are united by interests. Everyone works together and passes it down over time.”
“As for the second category, it is because the objects they collect and refine have commonalities. Everyone studies and exchanges with each other, and over time they form their own heritage.”
“The most representative club of the first category is the Nantian Club. In my opinion, they are a group of interests. If they were not numerous, how could they be ranked third?”
“As for the second category, the most typical ones are our Shishen Society and Binding Soul Society.”
“Our Shishen Society collects all kinds of natural weather in the world and enshrines inanimate objects as gods.”
“And the Binding Soul Society is completely opposite to us. They collect all kinds of life weather and turn them into cursed spirits.”
“But no matter how each club advertises itself, everyone’s foundation is the same, and they are all moving forward in the development of [mind].”
Although Yu Shenzi’s words were biased, they dispelled a lot of Chen Qi’s previous confusion.
No matter how things change, they still practice the inheritance of the Tianwu Curse Academy, but each has its own characteristics.
…
According to Yu Shenzi, the members of each club are also complex.
Only members who can practice [the art of mining and refining] will be regarded as core members.
Chen Qi finally understood why Senior Sister Caroline was treated coldly in Feixing Club, and also guessed why Eronis was valued.
But what Chen Qi was very concerned about was that when Yu Shenzi talked about the division of clubs, he didn't mention the Tongyou Club, which ranked first.
This is very interesting!
With Chen Qi's personality, of course he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
…
"Senior, what is the situation of Tongyou Club, which ranks first in our college?"
"It feels like they don't exist. Not only me, but it seems that those old students have never met their members."
Faced with Chen Qi's direct question, Yu Shen was stunned for a moment.
This junior is really greedy!
Looking at this posture, he is actually interested in Tongyou Society.
Unfortunately, it's a daydream!
...
"Junior, if you want to join Tongyou Society, you have to wait!"
"Their admission assessment standard is to cultivate the sea of wisdom."
"And without twenty or thirty years of meditation, no matter how talented you are, you can't reach this level."
"If that's all, with your talent, you can still get the qualification to join the society after twenty or thirty years of hard work."
"But the key to the problem is that the things refined by Tongyou Society are extremely special, and the status of their members is very strange."
"Junior, do you know what the other taboo of our college is besides the [school rules]?"
Yu Shenzi looked at Chen Qi with a funny face. He has seen many newcomers who want to join Tongyou Society like this.
Chen Qi is not the first, and he will definitely not be the last.
After all, the title of the top-ranked society is still very attractive to newcomers.
But as long as they are smart, they will give up their delusions after knowing the situation of Tongyou Society.
Because no one wants to disappear for no reason.
…
"Another taboo of Tianwu Spell School?"
"Does the senior mean [non-existent people]?"
Feng Zining once warned Chen Qi not to violate school rules or contact non-existent people.
Chen Qi has seen the weirdness of school rules.
But Chen Qi is still confused about the so-called non-existent people.
However, today, Yu Shenzi seems to have brought him the answer.
…
“Yes, another taboo of the academy is non-existent people.”
“And these non-existent people refer to the members of Tongyou Society.”
“No one knows how many members there are in Tongyou Society, because even they themselves cannot confirm it.”
“They may still be in the world at this moment, but they will disappear in the next moment.”
“And decades later, they can appear again.”
“We all call them ghosts wandering in the academy.”
“It is rumored that once you come into contact with them, you may also be taken away from the world.”
“The reason why Tongyou Society ranks first is not only because they are mysterious and powerful.”
“The reason why they are recognized as the first is because everyone does not want to ignore their existence.”
“After all, only by ranking first can they be eye-catching enough to make everyone aware of their existence at all times.”
…
Yu Shenzi’s answer brought Chen Qi a psychological shock no less than before.
The members of Tongyou Society turned out to be those non-existent people. No wonder even those old students have never come into contact with the members of Tongyou Society.
If they really came into contact with them, I’m afraid they would have died long ago!
Although Yu Shenzi did not explicitly say what the Tongyou Society was refining, Chen Qi had a vague guess.
It was between life and non-life, between existence and non-existence.
This kind of existence could only be a fantasy created by intelligent life.
For example, a character created by a novelist, or a character created by a cartoonist.
It was more likely to be some fictional mythological character.
It was just unknown how the Tongyou Society completed the refining.
But if they can really obtain the abilities of those fictional mythological characters, it is not surprising that they are ranked first.
…
After learning about the weirdness of Tongyou Society, Chen Qi completely gave up the idea of joining Tongyou Society.
After all, it takes a long time, and the Tongyou Society's mysterious posture may not allow him to be successfully elected as a true seed.
Chen Qi still likes to follow the rules and take one step at a time.
However, what was beyond Yu Shenzi's expectation was that Chen Qi had obviously given up the idea of joining Tongyou Society, but he didn't want to join their second-ranked Shi Shen Society immediately.
What is this guy thinking?
After Yu Shenzi confirmed again and again, Chen Qi still said that he needed to consider it carefully.
This made Yu Shenzi, who was dry-mouthed, quite impatient. Although he didn't leave directly, he was too lazy to talk to Chen Qi anymore.
Then he was sent out by Chen Qi.
…
"This, this..."
Outside the villa, looking at the slowly closing protective magic circle, Yu Shenzi was a little confused.
At this moment, a chuckle was heard. It turned out that Su Hongxue was gloating over someone else's misfortune.
The Shiijin Shrine, which ranked second, was actually rejected by someone. Hahaha!
