"Yes." Qi Wenren nodded.
"But apart from humans, aren't there any other creatures in this world who can use the secret power?"
Although Lu Jing is the top student in the academy and skips class every day, he still knows this most basic common sense.
"According to my observations during this period, it is useless. It can only absorb secret power from the outside world and store it."
Qi Wenren paused and continued, "You should have heard what we said just now. When this carp first came to the General's Mansion, it only had one golden scale on its body, but now it has four.
"My personal guess is that these scales will increase as the secret power stored in its body increases."
Lu Jing was so shocked when he heard this that he could no longer hold the carp in his hand, letting it break free from his palm and slip into the water again.
"Yes, it seems you understand the value of this carp."
Qi Wenren said, "There is something wrong with those secret realms now. The secret power in the world is becoming increasingly thinner. No one knows when it will return to normal. For practitioners like you and me, whether it is absorbing the secret power of cultivation , or casting spells, are becoming more and more difficult.
"Of course, there are some elixirs that can increase the speed of cultivation, but those elixirs essentially speed up the speed at which you absorb secret power from heaven and earth. If the secret power between heaven and earth becomes thinner, the effect of the elixirs will also follow. Discount together.
"Furthermore, the medicinal materials required to refine similar elixirs are often very expensive. There is no problem in dealing with troubles, but no one can bear it for daily use. Even if you are extremely rich, you cannot last long, but this kind of fish is different. "
Qi Wenren became more and more excited as he talked, "I have tried it. Practitioners can absorb the secret power stored in its body. Whether it is used for cultivation or spell casting, there is no problem.
"Think about it, as long as you let it absorb the secret power first, and then carry it with you, you don't have to worry about the thinness of the secret power.
"Of course, this is just the most ideal situation. There are still many things that need to be solved. For example, the speed at which it naturally absorbs secret power is a bit too slow.
"It took almost a year to go from one golden scale to four golden scales. We had to find a way to see if we could speed up the process.
"Well, maybe you can try to place it in a place with a higher concentration of secret power, such as the academy, and see how the effect is. The most important point, and the top priority right now, is to confirm whether its current state is an accident. , it’s still a brand new species, I just discovered it.”
"If it's the latter, I need to find other members of its kind, the more the better, and then find a way to breed them."
After listening to Qi Wenren's words, Lu Jing also became excited.
However, what excited him was different from what Qi Wenren was excited about. Qi Wenren was thinking about how to solve the problem of the secret power in the world getting thinner and thinner, while Lu Jing was thinking about how to solve the problem of the secret power in his body getting thinner and thinner. The more trouble.
Isn't this thing just a living power bank?
Since secret power can be absorbed from the outside world for practitioners to use, wouldn't the reverse also hold true? !
From now on, as long as Lu Jing gets more of these fish out, he can let them absorb all the excess secret power in his upper Dantian, so he no longer has to worry about the secret power exploding his body.
And this thing can also be used by others, which means... the fish that has absorbed the secret power can still be sold for money!
As Qi Wenren said, no one knows when the decline of secret power will end. In the foreseeable future, before the secret power in the world returns to normal, the secret power everyone has on hand will only become more and more precious.
Maybe later, this kind of fish that has absorbed the secret power will directly become a new currency in the spiritual world, used to exchange flying swords and other precious things.
Just like cigarettes and bottle caps in the apocalypse.
What is Lu Jing? Isn't he just a walking money printing factory? !
Thinking of this, Lu Jing felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He asked Qi Wenren, "When should we set off?"
"We? What do you mean...are you going too?" Qi Wenren said in a daze.
"Of course, this matter is so important and may affect the survival of the entire cultivation world. How can I rest assured if you go alone." Lu Jing said with a serious expression.
"Ah, there shouldn't be too much danger in my line of work," Qi Wenren said, "After all, the person opposite is just a native chief."
"More than that," Lu Jing shook his head, "I just met Mr. Ji's people not long ago."
"Who is Mr. Ji?"
I don't know whether it was because Qi Wenren was not at a high enough level in the Sitian Prison to have access to the information related to Mr. Ji, or whether he had access to it but didn't take it to heart.
In short, I seemed confused when I heard this name.
Lu Jingdao, "A madman who likes to train living people into strange objects. He has many masters under him. He has been working against Si Tianjian. He even set a trap to kill me before."
"Am I also being targeted by him?" Qi Wenxin was shocked, "But I'm just a researcher."
"It's hard to say." Lu Jingdao, "Mr. Ji won't care so much, so I'd better go with you and protect your safety. Not only am I a perfect foundation builder, but I also went to heaven before I was twenty years old. Ji Bang, in terms of fighting alone, there are few people in this world who are my opponents."
"But over there at the Huang Prison..."
"Don't worry, you can let him wait. Anyway, the secret realm of the academy will not disappear for a while."
"…………"
"Then after I submit my resignation to General Le tomorrow, we will hit the road together."
Although he was a little frightened by Lu Jing's sudden burst of terrifying enthusiasm, Qi Wenren did not object to the company of multiple people. As Lu Jing said, it is safer to have companions after all.
However, after he finished speaking, Lu Jing had a different opinion, "No need to resign, let's leave tonight."
"That's not a good idea..." Qi Wenren said, "As you can see, I am now the teacher of General Le's youngest son. With this status, I can enter the general's mansion to see fish. Even if I have to leave, it will be both reasonable and reasonable. You should say hello to the father and son first."
"But the problem is that if you say hello, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave." Lu Jing sighed, "That person just now must be General Le's youngest son.
"He even told you without reservation that his father raised a golden-scaled carp that could transform into a dragon. Do you really think they will let you go easily?"
Qi Wenren was just a little slow about this kind of thing, but he was not stupid. He reacted to Lu Jing's reminder and finally stopped hesitating, "Okay, let's leave tonight. Oh, by the way, take that Take the fish with you too.”
