The next morning, the faint chirping of birds sounded from the jujube tree outside the window, which was clear and sweet.
Gu Jianlin yawned. He stayed up all night and was studying.
He hasn't studied so hard for a long time. The main reason is that the school courses are very basic to him, and there is no threshold required to understand them. But the things in the extraordinary world are different, they are all novel.
He has already read the code of conduct of the Ether Association and the common sense of the Ascendants.
What concerned him most, and was also the most valuable, was actually the introduction to the priest's path.
"Priests, called priests in ancient times. Undoubtedly, among all the ancient ways in the East, priests are the most powerful. If you want to ask me why? Because in the one hundred and thirty years I have been alive, I have been the most powerful. Strong."
——The Blue King.
Gu Jianlin could only comment on this, this person was filling the cup.
Now he is just a rookie who has just entered the extraordinary world, and he still doesn't know what the so-called strongest is.
But if we say that the one lying in Lishan Mountain is also the strongest, that would be a bit perplexing.
Of course, this document was not written by the Blue King himself, but just borrowed this sentence.
The key information he extracted from it is as follows:
First, priests have the smallest number of people in the ancient path, because it is difficult to advance and control.
Second, priests have the most comprehensive abilities. It is not clear when they were first born, but they were concentrated in the Chu State in the pre-Qin period, and left a very splendid culture, so it was named after "Nine Songs".
Third, the promotion in this inheritance path is also interesting.
Priest, Si Ming, Shao Si Ming, Da Si Ming, Yunzhongjun, Dongjun!
As for the rest, it is currently unknown. Perhaps it involves confidentiality and will not be disclosed.
The essence of the priest's ability is to master the mysteries of life and gain powerful power through communication with nature.
Therefore, there are two core competencies.
First, the perception of life.
Second, the fire of divine sacrifice.
The former is passive and the latter is active.
"The fire of divine sacrifice absorbs life force and feeds it back to itself by communicating with nature. Similar to flowers, plants and trees, including some animals and even humans, they are all objects that can be sacrificed."
Gu Jianlin murmured: "What I'm talking about here should be the pale flame."
He concentrated, and the pale will-o'-the-wisp appeared on his forehead again.
At the same time, his temperament also became cold and evil, with a faint fire reflected in his dark eyes, and pale will-o'-the-wisps ignited on the fingertips of the five fingers of his extended right hand.
He tried to put his hand on the cactus on the window sill and whispered: "Sacrifice!"
I saw the will-o'-the-wisps on the five fingers of his right hand swaying, and countless dark incantations twisted and spread like living creatures, as if they were forming a mysterious ancient formation in the void, burning with clusters of fire.
Visible to the naked eye, the emerald green cactus emitted a burst of black smoke and was strangely withered!
Gu Jianlin suddenly understood. The moment the cactus withered, he felt a strong life force pouring into his body like a cold spring, and the wounds on his forehead and shoulders became itchy.
He hesitated for a second and then took off the bandage and gauze.
Unexpectedly, the injury has healed as before!
magic!
Gu Jianlin was really shocked by this scene. This is super power.
From this moment on, he truly had a real sense of being an ascendant.
Great, I won't have to be scolded when my mother comes back.
In addition, the zero-level priest also has an ability - ghost spells!
Using the opponent's body tissue, as well as clothing and daily necessities as a medium, to burn one's own life to curse, it can cause physical or mental damage, which is difficult to resist.
It seems like the ability to trade injuries for injuries, but it's actually not the case.
Because of the priest path, you are really not afraid of being injured at all, and you can replenish your life force at any time.
"Zero-level sacrifices only have these three abilities. I probably understand why the sacrifice path is difficult to control. For example, if a normal person acquires the ability to sense life, he will have an extra sense. I'm afraid it's very difficult for a normal person to do so. It's hard to adapt, and when you get along with others, you will be affected by those rhythms." Gu Jianlin murmured.
There are so many lives in the world, so many people, so many rhythms.
Whether it is good or bad, it is indeed a kind of torture to have it echoing in your ears.
However, Gu Jianlin was quite used to it. His profile was already very evil.
"Secondly, the same goes for the Fire of Divine Sacrifice. It just absorbed the vitality of the cactus, and it obviously feels addictive. If you can't control it, you probably won't be able to stop."
Gu Jianlin made a calm judgment.
As for the ghost spell, he hasn't used it yet, so he doesn't know how he feels about it.
After reading those documents, he knew that what Ascendents feared most was losing control.
Once out of control, he becomes a degenerate.
The priestly path seems to have a serious impact on the spirit.
"Now that you have become a priest, let's find a way to advance."
Gu Jianlin glanced at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the morning, and he would go back to school in the evening.
Last night, he had already entered the redemption code in the deep space network's material warehouse.
In exchange for his three bottles of spiritual secret medicine and exclusive alchemy weapons.
If an ascendant wants to advance, the most important thing is spiritual secret medicine!
At this time, the door next door suddenly opened.
Su Youzhu yawned and walked out in a daze.
"Not sleeping?"
This girl is naked, but still delicate and charming. She is wearing a loose pink suspender nightgown and slippers.
There is also a stupid hair sticking up on the top of the head.
"Something happened last night."
Gu Jianlin hummed: "Mom and Uncle Su will come back tonight. Have you finished copying your homework?"
When Su Youzhu heard this, her face visibly dropped: "There are too many homeworks and I haven't finished copying them."
When Gu Jianlin saw her like this, it was probably because her menstrual period was coming soon.
Thinking of what this girl had said to him last night, the corners of his eyes twitched.
"If you haven't slept well, go back and catch up on your sleep. I just ordered breakfast takeaway."
He suggested sincerely.
Su Youzhu hummed slightly and turned to the bathroom.
Suddenly, there was a ding-dong sound.
The doorbell rang.
Gu Jianlin thought it was the takeout deliveryman, so he got up and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, there was a man in black standing at the door, holding a cylindrical express box and a safe in his hands.
"Deep Space Network, at your service."
He lowered his voice and handed out what he had in his hand: "Reserve Commissioner Gu Jianlin, please sign for it."
Gu Jianlin was stunned. He didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and subconsciously took the express box.
The man in black turned around and walked away without any hesitation.
"Who is it?"
Su Youzhu poked half of her head out of the toilet, looking delicate and cute.
Gu Jianlin looked at the text marked on the express box.
"Deep space technology, primary spiritual secret medicine, model number C**113."
As for the safe, there is a series of eye-catching words marked on it.
"Deep space technology, a modified version of the silenced Desert Eagle, equipped with one hundred rounds of alchemical bullets, use with caution!"
Damn it, these guys put their names on the packaging.
Gu Jianlin thought that this thing could not be seen, so he hurriedly hid it behind his back: "It's okay, it's just a courier."
"What's there to hide?"
Seeing him looking so nervous, Su Youzhu asked curiously, "You don't know how to buy a plane cup, do you?"
Gu Jianlin was stunned, his expression dull.
"No need to hide it, you can use it if you want."
Su Youzhu said expressionlessly: "I understand the normal needs of you boys."
Gu Jianlin: "..."
No, I don’t think you understand…

On the top floor of the Deep Space Technology Building, Lu Zijin was fiddling with his tablet computer expressionlessly.
"Name: John Burger."
"Rank: First-level Fallen, Magician path."
"Identity information: Forty-six-year-old, Spanish male, studied at the University of Missouri after being tested for sublimation qualifications, double master's degree in the Department of Philosophy and Department of Ancient Engineering, participated in the Kirin Immortal Palace project half a year ago, and served as a dimension inspector. "
"Four months ago, he survived serious injuries in the Blood Moon Massacre. During the rescue process, he developed mental aberrations. He killed three nurses and two attending doctors on the spot, took an injured patient hostage and escaped from the hospital, and used his identity and authority overnight. He stole two pieces of mythical weapons that had not been delivered to the warehouse. He then killed fifty-seven people in a row and is still on the run!"
"Note: This person is a degenerate with an extremely twisted and bloodthirsty personality. He forcibly houses the Mythical Armed Forces at the cost of his life. It is extremely dangerous! Combat strength cannot be measured by conventional standards. Once your whereabouts are discovered, report it immediately!"
A string of eye-catching red letters seemed to flow like blood.
The glass door of the office opened automatically, and footsteps sounded from the side.
"sister."
Lu Zicheng walked in hastily, his expression solemn.
"sit down."
Lu Zijin was leaning on the soft leather seat, a pair of slender legs dangling in the air under his skirt.
Lu Zicheng sat opposite her and asked directly: "Did you not sleep all night? What was the result?"
Even though she hadn't slept all night, Lu Zijin was still as delicate as a doll. For a minister-level sublimator like her, her energy has long been beyond the reach of ordinary people: "I talked with the people of the Tribunal for two hours."
Her eyes were calm and her tone was light.
Lu Zicheng had a bad feeling: "Then what? Can the assessment tasks be changed?"
"cannot."
Lu Zijin said quietly: "It is already a rare result to be able to let him join the Ether Association. Thirteen ministers voted and the final result was seven to six, which is just right. As for the assessment tasks, they cannot be changed."
After speaking, she tapped the tablet screen and played a recording.
"Since that child can kill a fallen first-level magician without awakening, it proves that he has quality. If he completes the assessment task, he will not only be able to join the Ether Association, but also the one stolen by the clown. It wouldn’t hurt to give him the two mythical weapons as trophies.”
It was a man's voice, with condescending arrogance: "This is the test of genius."
Lu Zicheng had heard this voice before. It was Deacon Nie of the Tribunal.
Really good at drawing cakes.
This is the same as asking you to pluck the moon from the sky and give you the position of president of the Ether Association.
It's just nonsense.
Lu Zicheng's eyes turned cold and asked: "Then what's the difference between doing this and refusing him to join? We all know how dangerous the clown is. This is an impossible task. If he goes, he will die. If he doesn't Go, then in the end we have to erase his memory and wait until his whole family is killed in his later years."
"Sister, I don't care what Professor Gu has done, but he was kind to our Gu family back then."
He paused: "As a human being, we must repay kindness. We have to help that child."
Lu Zijin raised his pink-painted nails and said slowly: "It's not like you're going to die."
Lu Zicheng was stunned for a moment.
"The Tribunal is not as stupid as you think, they are smart. Why do you think this task was given to him? The reason is very simple, because the man named Li Changzhi also found him."
Lu Zijin said calmly: "Although John Berger and Li Changzhi have different positions, they are both on the front line of relic excavation. They are also survivors of the Blood Moon Massacre. They both have reasons to take revenge on Professor Gu."
Lu Zicheng's pupils shrank violently, and he subconsciously said: "Is this the real assessment?"
Lu Zijin hummed: "So far, we don't know why Professor Gu did such a thing. The Inquisition wants to use this incident to see if his son is clean. You know, they don't believe in mythical weapons. They also don’t believe in any veritaserum or hypnosis methods, they only believe in their own judgment.”
"The trial court also wants to know whether Professor Gu left anything to his son."
She stretched and sneered: "As for the clown, Gu Jianlin was not killed at all. The trial court would not trust him and would naturally send appropriate people to deal with it. In other words, Gu Jianlin was just a Bait.”
Lu Zicheng was silent for a long time and asked: "In other words, as long as this mission goes well and Gu Jianlin has no problems, he can successfully join the Ether Association without having his memory wiped away?"
Lu Zijin glanced at him in acquiescence.
"But it's too dangerous to let a zero-level novice be the bait."
Lu Zicheng's expression was still ugly: "What if something happens?"
The rules of the Ethereal Society are very strict.
In an operation of this level, it is unlikely that other investigators would be allowed to participate privately.
Even if Lu Zicheng wanted to protect the child, once he was discovered, the court would have something to say.
Although the top leaders of the association, including major families, will find ways to help future generations gain convenience in various tasks.
But at least no one will do it openly, because that would be cheating.
But now, it's too late to get resources for that kid.
When the court wants to disqualify the child, it will still be a matter of words.
Lu Zijin glanced sideways at him: "Do you think the Tribunal has ever cared about this kind of thing? Only Gu Jianlin can draw out the clown, if the clown firmly believes that Professor Gu gave something to his son."
Lu Zicheng spat lightly.
"However, Fengcheng is my jurisdiction, and the city is still my headquarters. I don't want anything to happen to that child. After all, he is talented and good-looking. Therefore, I brought you a big boy from home. baby."
Lu Zijin suddenly smiled, and a hint of cunning flashed in his moist and clear eyes.
Lu Zicheng had a bad premonition: "The head covering of the female corpse?"
"Yes,"
Lu Zijin lay on the table, holding his chin in his hands: "As long as you wear this, you can temporarily hide your breath. No one will find your traces. It's not a big problem to protect the child secretly."
Lu Zicheng put his hand on his forehead: "Help..."
That thing is a kind of alchemical weapon, which has the effect of concealing the breath, but the price is that after wearing the hijab, you will have nightmares for a month. In the dream, you will turn into the groom of a female corpse and accompany her through the long night... …
