Chu Qiguang looked at himself in the bronze mirror, with incredible surprise in his eyes.

He slowly stroked his chest, but the place where he touched was a piece of normal skin, and he didn't feel the slightest abnormality.

But in his line of sight, a palm-sized black hole appeared in the position of his chest.

It looked as if someone had dug a big hole in his chest with a knife.

At the edge of the black void, a circle of purple light flowed, and it looked like purple flames surrounding the void.

Chu Qiguang looked closely, and seemed to be vaguely able to see grotesque characters burning in the purple flames, but if he wanted to look more closely, he couldn't see clearly.

Qiao Zhi on the side meowed around Chu Qiguang, and was amazed while watching: "Isn't it painful for you to have such a big hole, why is there no blood coming out?"

Chu Qiguang muttered: "This is not a hole, and what it flows out is naturally not blood. ”

Qiao Zhi was curious: "What is this? How come I don't know there is such a thing at all?"

Chu Qiguang said lightly: "The Circle of Foolishness...... The mark on the cursed seeker. It can resist the power of demon dyeing, but it will flow out of the knowledge in your mind. ”

Qiao Zhi was surprised: "How do you know?"

"I don't know, but I just do. Chu Qiguang shook his head, stroked the ring of foolishness on his chest, and said softly:

"Those who have this ring of foolishness on their bodies will return to normal even if they fall into demons, but the pursuit of knowledge will make them embark on the path of demons again, and sooner or later they will become fools who know nothing. ”

"Tragically, the knowledge they shed will create a new demonic stain, which may be the reason for their exile. ”

Qiao Zhi looked at Chu Qiguang, who was calm at the moment, and said worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Chu Qiguang shook his head: "It should be something...... Got this ring of folly on me, and gave me the information you just had. ”

His expression was a little puzzled at the moment: "It is said to be a curse, but in fact, it can prevent people from falling into demons, and even cause demon contamination after the outflow of knowledge...... It can also be used as an invincible means of attack. ”

Chu Qiguang touched his chin and thought, "I feel that there are more benefits than disadvantages, why is it called a curse?"

Under Chu Qiguang's explanation, Qiao Zhi understood what the so-called outflow of knowledge was all about.

This is an ability that Chu Qiguang can take the initiative to activate, and after activating it, he can choose to 'flow out' some knowledge in his mind, and the knowledge that flows out will be completely forgotten by him.

The resulting demon stain will cause the people within a few tens of meters around him to accelerate towards the direction of the demon, as if they were induced by a large amount of knowledge in one breath.

Different levels of knowledge flow out, and the severity of the magic stain is also different.

Qiao Zhi said: "However, the influence of this kind of magic stain should have different effects on different people, right? ”

"And ordinary ordinary people with no qualifications, the demon stain caused by the outflow of a little knowledge may directly fall into the demon. ”

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Of course, everyone's resistance to entering the demon is different. He sensed it in his heart, and realized that the knowledge that he could now cause the most serious demonic stain was the mutilated spell and prescription in the "Immortal Medicine".

The next moment, under Chu Qiguang's deliberate control, the Ring of Foolishness began to disappear little by little, and finally disappeared completely, making his chest at the moment the same as the original touch.

Although the appearance of the Ring of Fools was very strange and bizarre, Chu Qiguang couldn't find any results at the moment, so he could only put it down for the time being and accept the existence of this thing.

What he has to do next is to improve his strength as soon as possible, and go to the Demon Suppression Division in the future...... Maybe you can use the power of the Demon Suppressor Division to find out the origin of this Circle of Fools.

......

It was on the fifth day after the launch of the textile machine.

In the hall of Hao's house, Hao Yongtai was eating refreshments while looking in the direction of the door from time to time, feeling a sense of restlessness.

After waiting for a long time, he finally saw the butler running over in a hurry, and he hurriedly asked, "How is it? What is the price? Have you received the shares?"

The housekeeper said: "Young master, now it's 20 taels a share! We go to collect 18 taels and one share, but we can't collect shares at all, and those small households are not willing to sell casually." ”

As soon as he heard twenty taels of a share, Hao Yongtai felt a heartache dripping with blood.

On the day of the press conference, after completing the share subscription, many wealthy investors present were actually not familiar with this new set of gameplay.

Some families who saw a business opportunity paid a lot of shares for 11 taels the next day.

The next day, it rose to 12 taels......

On the third day, it rose to 14 taels......

......

And when the price of the shares went all the way up, those who had sold their shares in the first place became heartbroken.

Hao Yongtai ...... Apparently this is the kind of person.

At the time of the share subscription after the press conference, he spent 15,000 taels of silver on behalf of the Hao family and directly subscribed for 1,500 shares. This is mainly due to his trust in the Wu family, Taoism, and Chu Qiguang, and the numbers at the meeting really made him enthusiastic.

But later, after the shares grew all the way to 15 taels and one share, he couldn't help but sell 500 shares, earning 2,500 taels in one go, and he didn't sleep well all night.

But the next day, the stock price went up again.

Today, it has risen all the way to 20 taels, and Hao Yongtai not only does not feel that he has earned, but even feels that he has lost 2,500 taels.

"It's just 20 taels a share, which has doubled, and it's almost up. ”

Hao Yongtai thought for a while and said, "Why don't you just give this batch in your hand?"

The housekeeper on the side hurriedly said: "No, young master, this stock price will definitely continue to rise, don't make a move at this time." ”

Just when Hao Yongtai was discussing with the housekeepers, in Liyang County, Boyang County, Qingshui County, Linhe County, Shanyin County and other large counties in Beiyue Prefecture, the news about the water-powered textile machine was even more miraculous at this moment.

This is all under the suggestion of Chu Qiguang, and a large number of people sent by the Wu family are fueling the flames and speeding up the flow of news about the water-powered loom.

As more and more people knew about the existence of water-powered looms, cotton merchants from other counties began to rush to Qingyang County and began to inquire about the news of water-powered looms.

Then on the tenth day of the press conference, Chu Qiguang held another roadshow to show the existence of the hydraulic textile machine directly in front of thousands of people at the north pier of the city.

On this day, Chu Qiguang's path to the Fifth Realm of Cultivation had reached eighty percent in one go, and he was still twenty percent away from being able to set foot in the Five Realms of Cultivation, but he also felt that a stronger and stronger bottleneck appeared on his cultivation path.

According to Qiao Zhi, the barrier to the Fifth Realm was enough to keep an ordinary cultivator stuck for ten or even twenty years.
