Chapter 381 Detective Agency

Inside the bronze box, the gray silk was still twisting and wriggling strangely.

On the silk, those strange things that were transformed from memory fragments kept fighting and killing each other, trying to piece together a complete individual.

But every time when it was about to succeed, the soul-suppressing nail would tremble and break it again.

…

Chen Qi originally planned to take out the soul-suppressing nail and study it carefully.

But now, it can only be put aside for the time being.

The soul-suppressing nail came from Murong Yan's hand. It is impossible for Chen Qi not to covet the secrets in it.

After all, it was a silver apostle from the Tongtian Empire, and even at the silver level, it was the top one.

…

"Click!"

After closing the bronze box, Chen Qi put it into the space ring again.

Jomoya Chris's resentment was so strange, and the Tirado Ancient Ring made Chen Qi feel more at ease.

"As for the Undying Curse, it is impossible to find detailed information from the academy with my current authority."

"But there is a force in the Inner Ring World that must know the Undying Curse very well."

"Back then, the Undying Curse caused such a big disturbance, and it was not just the Chris family that was exiled to the Inner Ring World."

"Now those guys are likely to have joined the Sin Blood Alliance."

"I hope they don't run into me!"

Chen Qi has never been a person who likes to cause trouble for others, but others always think he is "weak and can be bullied" and have to rush to deliver him to the door.

Distress, distress!

...

After packing up the space ring, Chen Qi's eyes were focused on the laboratory.

To be more precise, he focused on two culture dishes.

In one of the culture dishes, a broken fox tail was soaked in life essence.

However, what made Chen Qi depressed was that this section of fox tail "did not know how to appreciate it" and even refused to absorb the life essence.

…

Chen Qi has now discovered that this broken fox tail “does not eat the food given to it out of pity, but only wants to starve itself to death”.

Ever since it fell into Chen Qi’s hands, it has refused to absorb any external energy.

If Chen Qi had not sealed it with the life seal before, all the cells in the fox tail would have starved to death long ago.

Chen Qi “has seen many traitors”, but this is the first time he has seen such a docile cell tissue.

Chen Qi “likes this kind of backbone”, and after he served with a burst of evil-repelling fairy thunder, all the cells in the fox tail reluctantly drank a few sips of the original life liquid.

And this is why they have not starved to death after a month.

…

"He actually penetrated his will through all the cells in his body, and stamped each cell with his own thoughts."

"In this way, even if the cells are separated from the body, they will refuse to live alone, but completely follow the set instructions!"

"This method is really interesting!"

"This is equivalent to completely mastering his own subconscious mind, and imprinting the instructions into the cell will through the subconscious mind!"

"If we make an analogy, this state is barely close to the second level of meditation [Original Nature]."

"But [Original Nature] can do more and more magical."

…

Chen Qi's [Unmoved Heart] has just been successfully cultivated, and there is still a long way to go before the perfect state.

And if you want to cultivate [Original Nature], the prerequisite is to completely integrate the Unmoved Heart into the mind.

Only in this way can the ability of [Heart Mirror] be brought to the extreme and reflect the human body universe.

In the current state of Fox Tail, Chen Qi can use the power of the mind to forcibly crack it, but the success rate cannot be guaranteed.

The identity of the big light ball must be extraordinary. Chen Qi was able to obtain this fox tail, which required timing, luck, and strength, and was almost impossible to replicate.

Chen Qi had no choice but to be more cautious.

…

So Chen Qi chose to "boil the frog in warm water", using the life essence to "forcefully hang on", and at the same time using sugar-coated bullets for saturation attacks.

Chen Qi didn't believe that these cells could still be so "unruly" after soaking in the life essence for half a year.

By then, Chen Qi would be able to practice [original nature].

It wouldn't be too late to deal with this guy then.

…

Compared to the "ungrateful" broken fox tail in this culture dish, the immortal cells in another culture dish that were swallowing the life essence were much more obedient.

In the huge culture dish, the purple-gold life essence was constantly rippling.

In the life essence, a fist-sized golden cell was breathing rhythmically.

In addition, three black soul-returning flowers were soaked in the life essence.

At first glance, it looked like soaking in wine.

…

Initially, Chen Qi had intended to use the Life Essence to revive the Soul Returning Flower.

In this way, the immortal cells could have a steady supply of Soul Returning Flowers to devour.

Facts have proved that Chen Qi underestimated the Soul Returning Flower. The Life Essence had no effect except to slowly release the power of the Soul Returning Flower.

But in this way, it was convenient for the immortal cells to devour it, so there was a scene comparable to soaking in wine.

Unfortunately, Xiao Hong was not here, so Chen Qi had to let it drink a few sips to taste the saltiness.

…

After finishing all this, Chen Qi's retreat was over.

He hadn't been to class for a long time, and it was time to show his face.

"Hey, Lao Wang finally stepped on the pit!"

"Fortunately, he was smart and dragged his own family and Lingjiu Society."

On the way to the clouds, Chen Qi looked through the information in the jade talisman.

Since refining the intestines of time and space was too important, Chen Qi was truly focused and focused.

He had been out of touch with the outside world for a while.

…

About a week ago, Wang Tianlang sent a message to Chen Qi.

He said that he was going to the Kingdom of Kuroro for a field investigation with the Lingjiu Society.

As for what exactly he was going to investigate?

The answer was self-evident!

Wang Tianlang also said that he would return to the family to see if he could obtain the subsequent practice method of [Quantum Brain Practice].

If he got anything, he would definitely send a copy to his eldest brother.

…

Chen Qi was still very happy about his younger brother's intentions.

But Chen Qi was not optimistic about the result of Wang Tianlang's trip.

With the miser mentality of the Kingdom of Kuroro, Wang Tianlang and his team might not be able to enter smoothly.

The Tianwu Spell Academy and the Lingjiu Society are indeed very intimidating, but it depends on who they are compared with.

The Kuroro Kingdom is the third most powerful country among the medium-sized powers. Once any ranking enters the top three, it is not so ordinary!

They faced the top ten super magic schools, but they were not afraid at all and were still very confident.

But no matter what, Wang Tianlang's trip must be safe, so Chen Qi no longer paid attention to it.

...

In the outer courtyard of the academy, Chen Qi leisurely flew in the clouds, greeted the passing classmates from time to time, and avoided the "rushing" strangers by the way.

For some reason, there were a lot of people in the academy today.

Originally, everyone was flying in the air, and it was not considered traffic congestion.

But everyone uniformly set the height at 10 meters, which inevitably caused a "collision".

Fortunately, the spiritual mist has an automatic navigation function, which can avoid obstacles in front in time.

And Chen Qi didn't realize until this time that he, the freshman leader, seemed to be nothing special.

For example, when Chen Qi met a senior student head-on, it must be his spiritual mist that automatically gave way.

I really didn't expect that the Tianwu Spell Academy actually has a tradition of "respecting the elderly".

As for Chen Qi's identity as a core member of the Nantian Society, the two treasure gourds guarding the gate probably don't recognize it.

Otherwise, why would the spiritual mist under his feet be so cowardly.

...

"Have the elite students who went to Shengxian Island begun to return in batches?"

"And the old students who went out to grab resources before have also returned one by one with fat heads and big ears."

"No wonder the academy has become so lively!"

After Chen Qi landed on [Nantianmen], he soon learned everything.

After more than a year of tossing, the elite students' rapid promotion period on Shengxian Island has ended, so many people chose to return to the academy.

In the public reports on the website, Chen Qi also saw the scenes of several true seeds being promoted to silver apostles.

Of course, it is not just the true seeds who have made breakthroughs on Shengxian Island.

According to the statistics of Nantian Society, when Shengxian Island appeared this time, Tianwu Spell Academy has already had 17 elite students who have broken through to silver apostles.

The number of the other nine schools is similar, which shows how deep the foundation of the top ten super spell schools is.

At the peak, almost every day, people on Shengxian Island broke through the silver realm.

Of course, there were also people who failed to break through, and there were even quite a few.

But no one paid attention to this.

…

In fact, what attracted Chen Qi's attention the most on [Nantianmen] was the report on [Immortal] that was pinned on the top.

The elite students of the top ten super spell schools, including the silver apostle who had just completed the breakthrough, jointly conducted a positioning in order to find the trace of [Immortal].

Unfortunately, they failed and found nothing.

In that report, the group of scammers in the Samsara Dao were scolded.

They believed that they were cheating and there was no [Immortal] concept body on Shengxian Island.

Of course, this was just a way to attract attention.

…

The vast majority of students who participated in the experiment agreed that [Immortal] existed.

But where did [Immortal] go, they didn't know.

But it must be related to the several time and space turbulences that occurred before Shengxian Island. Some insiders have even dug deeper and have already associated it with the [Lord of Libra].

Not only that, many "experts" have attributed the disappearance of the [Immortal] to the [Chaos Heart Ape] that appeared and disappeared inexplicably.

...

On Shengxian Island now, the popularity of the [Immortal] has dropped, and instead, the golden ape has become the target of everyone's search.

Chaos Heart Ape, a mythical life that is said to live in the underground spiritual vein, suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly, how could it not attract everyone's attention?

There are even many people who claim that there must be a giant spiritual vein buried under Shengxian Island.

Otherwise, the concentration of spiritual energy here cannot be so high. This must be the spiritual energy of the giant spiritual vein leaking out.

That Chaos Heart Ape must live in the giant spiritual vein.

Looking at the various data and reasoning given in the article, Chen Qi almost believed it.

…

“The concept of [Immortal] has fallen deeper into the information sea. Those guys don’t even have a Heavenly Secret Master, so it’s strange that they can find it.”

“As for the Chaos Ape, you guys can look for it slowly. If you find even a hair of it, I will lose.”

Chen Qi casually closed the page of [Southern Heaven Gate].

The old students really have no human rights and are not valued.

In the news report, apart from mentioning that they have made good gains, there is no further elaboration.

…

Chen Qi did meet many old students who were smiling along the way.

Sure enough, bullying the weak can boost self-confidence.

"Classmate, are you interested in joining our [Strange Detective Agency]!"

"We are the 24th club to be born in the college!"

"Our purpose is to explore the truth behind the college and find the lost school rules."

"Once we succeed, we can become the 24th official club in the college that has mastered the school rules."

When passing by a corner, there were a lot of people gathered there, and they were all freshmen.

Out of curiosity, Chen Qi just stayed for a second and was handed several flyers.

...

On the flyer, the black big words [Strange Detective Agency] were extremely eye-catching.

At first, Chen Qi thought it was some "bored, dreamy" guys who came to recruit cannon fodder from the freshmen again.

In Tianwu Jushu Academy, in addition to the 23 official clubs recognized by the college, there are also some "unrecognized" small clubs.

Most of these small groups are formed by elite members out of interest, and generally speaking, they are not open to freshmen.

Moreover, such small groups will not last long, and most of them disappear with the graduation of elite students.

But occasionally, some small organizations, along with the elite students' promotion to Silver Apostles, have been retained in the college for a long time.

...

Generally speaking, these small organizations have evolved into small interest groups of Silver Apostles who are not the true disciples of the college.

They will also "absorb new people", but in essence, they are just huddling together for warmth and forming cliques.

Unless they can master the [school rules], they can be banned anytime and anywhere.

Anyway, the other 23 formal clubs often suppress "conspicuous bags" in this way.

...

But it is not easy to obtain [school rules], it is almost impossible.

After all, if you want to participate in the [school rules battle], you must first become a true seed of the college.

And if you want to become a true seed of the college, the first step is to obtain the nomination of 23 formal clubs.

There are so many benefits in the college, how can the other 23 allow others to share another piece of the pie.

So those informal clubs want to obtain school rules through the school rules battle, and it is impossible.

But this does not mean that they cannot obtain school rules. It is a bit incredible, but the last few of the 23 formal clubs did obtain school rules through other channels.

And this channel is to find the "lost" school rules.

...

Any organization has its ups and downs, even the formal clubs of Tianwu Spell Academy are the same.

School rules are extremely strange, and mastering them can bring huge power and benefits.

But the risk of backlash has never been eliminated.

School rules can be controlled, and naturally they can also be out of control.

Generally speaking, as long as the out-of-control school rules are forgotten, they will fall into a dormant state and will not appear easily.

So in the face of out-of-control school rules, the most common way adopted by the academy is "forgetting".

But it is just forgetting. It is impossible to completely erase the traces of the existence of school rules.

So this gives those informal clubs an opportunity. As long as they can find the traces of the existence of school rules, wake them up, and control them again, they can obtain a [school rule].

This is not without successful precedents, but there are several successful examples.

...

So whenever the [school rules battle] is about to start, when the major formal clubs will focus their energy on it, the informal clubs that are ready to move will start looking for the lost school rules again.

But generally speaking, this kind of thing is still quite secretive.

It is really rare for a [mysterious detective agency] to be so "frank".

Chen Qi initially took the flyer out of curiosity.

But when he saw a painting on the flyer, his eyes could not move away instantly.

...

It was an extremely freehand ink painting, in which a black tower was heavily shadowed and looming.

The highest point of the tower was submerged in the sky, and there were lightning and thunder, as if a huge object stood on it.

Under the tower, countless headless people were busy.

Among them were humans, aliens, and even some legendary species.

The first time Chen Qi saw this painting, he determined that the black tower was the one he saw when he first arrived at the Tianwu Spell Academy.

And those headless people, aren't they the skeletons buried deep in the earth?

This [Mysterious Detective Agency] seems a little unusual.

...

Chen Qi looked around and found that there were more than a dozen informal clubs recruiting students.

The reason for this is that according to the unspoken rules, informal clubs can only recruit new members after formal clubs recruit new members.

Before today, due to the appearance of Shengxian Island, most of the elite students of Tianwu Spell Academy rushed there.

Among them, the backbones of informal clubs are the majority, after all, the core of their clubs are elite students.

So until this group of people returned from Shengxian Island, the recruitment of new members officially began.

…

“Classmate, think about it!”

“Our [Mysterious Detective Agency] is only one step away from becoming a formal club.”

“If you join now, you might become a veteran of the formal club in the future.”

“Don’t look at other clubs around, they can’t compare with us at all!”

“The leader of our club has cultivated the art of meditation to the legendary [External Cultivation] realm and can grant blessings.”

Perhaps because he saw Chen Qi's extraordinary demeanor, the person in charge of recruiting new members was particularly enthusiastic towards Chen Qi.

Chen Qi originally looked down on this club and thought they were deliberately sensationalizing.

But after hearing that the meditation technique of their club leader had been cultivated to the external cultivation realm, his eyes immediately changed.

That was a big man above the silver realm, and he was not even an ordinary existence.

According to the information Chen Qi got from the Southern Heaven Society, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to break through the meditation technique from the internal cultivation realm to the external cultivation realm.

It is more difficult than breaking through from the silver realm to the weaver.

And once successful, this kind of existence will be an important figure even in the formal club.

It seems that I really underestimated these informal clubs before.

...

Without hesitation, Chen Qi directly rejected the invitation. After all, he is already a formal member of the Southern Heaven Society.

It means that the person who recruited the new member just came back from Shengxian Island, otherwise how could he not recognize the famous reincarnated immortal.
