It was a sunny morning on December 14th.

The Heavenly Witch Spell Academy is still deserted like a ghost courtyard.

Chen Qi stepped on the spiritual mist and ran out of the main campus in embarrassment.

……

"Hey, Senior Sister's eyes are so scary, it's like eating people!"

Chen Qi never thought that the first time in his life he gave a gift to someone, he almost gave a disaster.

Just this morning, he packed his luggage, exchanged the [Refining Technique], and prepared to say goodbye to Senior Sister Feng.

Of course, out of professional ethics, Chen Qi did not tell Feng Zining about his deal with Old Man Wang.

It's just that he has something to go out for, and he is here to return the Equality Sutra.

……

Feng Zining, who was promoted to the true inheritance of the academy, was very busy, but even so, he deliberately took time to entertain Chen Qi.

It was rare for Chen Qi to have a breakfast at Senior Sister Feng Zining.

It's not that Chen Qi is greedy, but the food of the academy's true inheritance is really a bit special.

As a cultivator becomes more and more powerful, as long as the physical body exists, it is bound to replenish the energy consumed by the operation of life.

Generally speaking, the controllers barely maintain their energy balance by devouring the special psionic energy they have smelted.

This has the advantage of increasing one's affinity with the smelted psionic energy, so that it can be spied on the power of authority later.

However, this method only barely maintains the energy balance in the body, and does not improve the physical body and the essence of life.

Because unless they have a transcendent bloodline, human cells cannot digest and absorb the spiritual energy in space at all.

The controller is only able to use it to replace the consumption of life energy because the spirit has smelted special spiritual energy.

……

But the "food" that Chen Qi tasted from Feng Zining was different.

It was a rare treasure called Yuanqi Fruit, which was rumored to be a special product only owned by some major sects in the ancient cultivation era.

Inside the Vitality Fruit, there is a kind of spiritual energy that can be directly absorbed by human cells.

After Chen Qi tasted it for the first time, the cells of his whole body were trembling with excitement, it was really delicious.

It's a pity that although the Genki Fruit looks like an apple, it doesn't have any core, not even the flesh in the traditional sense.

It is like an incomparably soft and cool jelly, which turns into a mass of "vitality" the moment it enters the body, and is instantly devoured by the cells.

……

[Yuanqi] is a specific name given by the ancient cultivators to this spiritual energy that can be absorbed by human cells.

It is rumored that there are a total of 108 kinds of Yuan Qi, and if an ordinary person can devour 108 kinds of Yuan Qi, even if he does not carry out any cultivation, he can raise his life index to the silver realm.

The longevity of the qi eater, this is a method of immortality in the ancient cultivation era.

It's a pity that only 108 kinds of vitality were discovered in the Gu Xiu era.

Even though many experts in the art of immortality claim to have discovered a new vitality, they are not recognized by everyone.

Because their so-called discovery is just a re-smelting and combination of several kinds of Yuan Qi!

In essence, it does not exceed the 108 kinds of vitality.

……

The Silver Realm is a very different level that involves the evolution of the nature of life.

This naturally includes the growth of the physical body.

Although there are various alchemical foods as well as elixirs that can be used for ordinary consumption.

But the best effect is still the vitality.

As a result, the Yuan Qi Fruit containing Yuan Qi naturally became the standard for the Silver Apostles of the Academy.

The current top ten super spell academies are comparable to the super large sects of the ancient cultivation era, and it is normal to have this kind of welfare treatment.

……

In fact, there is another way of saying about vitality.

They are not naturally existing psionic powers, but forces that have escaped after the fall of some great being.

That's why these energies can be eaten directly by life, because they are part of the cycle of life in the world.

Regarding Yuan Qi and Yuan Qi Fruit, Chen Qi had seen it in the academy library before.

But being able to taste it with your own mouth is really a blessing for Senior Sister Feng.

You must know that even if it is the true inheritance of the academy, there is a quota for the acquisition of the Yuan Qi Fruit.

……

After eating the Yuan Qi Fruit, Chen Qi returned the Equality Sutra to Senior Sister Feng.

Feng Zining didn't care about it at first, but when she sensed the gift that Chen Qi had sealed in the Equality Sutra, the whole person was instantly stunned.

The shock and ecstasy on his face made Chen Qi wonder if the senior sister was a little too uncalm.

The next scene directly refreshed Chen Qi's cognition of the strength of the Silver Apostle.

Feng Zining's eyes began to glow when she looked at Chen Qi, as bright and fiery as the sun.

It seems to be to see Chen Qi thoroughly.

……

Facing the scorching sun, for some reason, Chen Qi not only did not feel tormented, but felt a kind of cordiality.

Feng Zining grabbed it casually, Chen Qi stumbled, and almost threw himself directly into the arms of his senior sister.

Fortunately, Feng Zining seemed to realize something, and subconsciously stopped her movements, and just patted Chen Qi's shoulder with appreciation.

This transition in the middle seemed to be an understatement, but Chen Qi was surprised to find that he was completely irresistible.

Because he didn't feel any power or spell fluctuations at all.

Is this the difference in strength between himself and the true legend of the academy?

……

After Chen Qi cultivated his immovable heart, he was originally a little proud.

I felt that even if I couldn't defeat the Silver Apostle, I would be able to fight more or less.

But now, Chen Qi is completely sober.

The silver apostle in the outside world may be a little watery, but the true legend of the academy is absolutely genuine.

Chen Qi was on top of his mind and suffered a complete crushing.

If it weren't for Senior Sister Feng's lack of malice, Chen Qi would definitely suffer a big loss.

……

"Junior brother, you can really surprise me!"

"Senior sister, this time, I will accept your love!"

Feng Zining, who had calmed down, was extremely calm, and Chen Qi was still immersed in the shock of the Silver Apostle's strength.

It seems that he really has to be more careful when he goes out this time.

If you encounter an opponent who is too strong, you can't add money.

……

Chen Qi, who came back to his senses, suddenly remembered that he still had something to consult Senior Sister Feng, so he casually took out a jade plate sent by Wang Daoji.

This is not a heavenly talisman, but the old man sent it to Chen Qi for his journey.

"Hey, it's a flying star jade card!"

"It seems that the junior brother is entrusted to go out this time!"

"But junior brother can rest assured, there is nothing wrong with this jade plate, because it was issued by our [Flying Star Society]."

"However, when the junior uses the jade card, you must restrain your curiosity and don't snoop around at will."

"Of course, the use of the jade plate also requires a small price, but it is insignificant to you, junior brother."

……

Feng Zining affirmed the jade card in Chen Qi's hand.

Chen Qi didn't expect that this jade card was actually issued by the Flying Star Society.

In this way, the 7th school rule [Fork in the Road of Life] is not in the hands of the Flying Star Society.

That's right, the jade card in Chen Qi's hand has a mysterious connection with Article 7 of the school rules.

According to Old Man Wang, as long as he holds this jade plaque, he can use that fork in the road to reach any place he wants to reach in the inner ring world.

Chen Qi was quite incredulous about this, and seriously suspected that this old thing was bragging, so he came to Senior Sister Feng to confirm.

I didn't expect to find the right person this time.

……

"Brother, that path can indeed lead you anywhere you want to go in the Inner Ring World."

"But that's too much to pay!"

"The jade medals issued by our Flying Star Club are all limited by distance. And this limits not only the distance, but also the price to pay. ”

"Senior brother, after you use this jade card, you will probably encounter a little trouble, but with your current strength, you can bear it."

"The guy who gave you the jade plate didn't cheat you!"

Feng Zining explained to Chen Qi in detail the usage and precautions of the jade plate.

After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that it was still inappropriate, so with a casual move, an alchemy treasure appeared in Chen Qi's hand out of thin air.

……

"It's actually an alchemical creation that contains the power of space?"

The moment the treasure appeared, Chen Qi noticed a faint spatial fluctuation.

What appeared in his hand was a palm-sized mirror, but for some reason, Chen Qi always felt that this mirror was a little familiar.

This material seems to come from the same source as the space-time demon spirit.

……

"Senior brother, since you gave me such a generous gift, senior sister naturally can't be stingy!"

"That space-time demon originally lived in a clam shell, and after this guy died, the broken clam shell fell into my hands."

"I've transformed it with alchemy, barely restoring some of its usefulness."

"Does this thing look familiar?"

"It is somewhat related to the blood moon of the Ascension Immortal Island, which is essentially equivalent to one of its descendants, and I have only slightly restored its original appearance."

The preciousness of space treasures, Chen Qi is naturally extremely clear.

Faced with this return gift from his senior sister, Chen Qi originally planned to refuse.

But after hearing that the mirror in his hand was related to the round of blood moon on Ascending Immortal Island, Chen Qi instantly changed his mind.

Ever since he had turned into a golden gorilla last time, Chen Qi's mind had locked on that blood moon.

Especially after the birth of the power of the mind, Chen Qi's kind of lock became clearer.

Chen Qi didn't pay much attention to this, after all, the blood moon must be outside the inner ring world, so he could only stare dryly.

But now, the treasure given by the senior sister turned out to be the child of the blood moon, and Chen Qi couldn't even be tempted if he didn't want to.

……

In the following time, Chen Qi asked his senior sister for some experience in the cultivation of [Harvesting and Refining Method].

Since there was no way to refine in the academy, Chen Qi could only go to the outside world to practice the art of harvesting.

And this is also an important reason why he will make a deal with Wang Jidao.

Anyway, I have to go out, so I might as well make some extra money by the way.

But for some reason, Chen Qi always felt that the eyes of the senior sister looking at him were too hot.

Considering that the senior sister is also proficient in the way of life, she must have sensed the mystery of the self-proliferation and division of the flexible cells of the space-time demon.

Now that the senior sister gave him such a satisfying treasure, Chen Qi rarely felt that he was ashamed, so he gave away 1/3 of his only remaining [Life Essence].

As a result, Chen Qi never expected that Feng Zining's reaction was even greater than before.

Facing Senior Sister Feng's gaze that seemed to be eating people, Chen Qi could only flee in embarrassment.

There is no way, if Feng Zining returns another big gift, Chen Qi feels that he must go bankrupt today.

Compared to the true biography of the academy, he is really just a poor man.

……

Article 7 of the school rules states that you must not set foot on a fork in the road of life.

Chen Qi has always been deeply wary of strange and mysterious school rules.

But today, he can finally "break" the school rules.

Well, according to what Senior Sister Feng said, stepping into that fork in the road with a jade plate in hand is equivalent to obtaining the right to pass, and it will not be regarded as a violation of school rules at all.

Quite rarely, Chen Qi broke away from the spiritual mist and walked on the ground of the academy himself.

I don't know if it's the influence of psychological factors, Chen Qi always feels that the land of the college is completely different from the outside world.

It's as if the earth outside is dead, while the earth of the academy is alive.

Although Chen Qi guessed that this might be related to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Cave, he didn't know what the mystery was.

……

Very suddenly, a fork in the road suddenly appeared in front of Chen Qi.

On the sheep intestine path, a sign with a pitch-black body but a golden inscription stood quietly.

【No·7 This road is closed】

In the face of such a warning, Chen Qi didn't care, and strode forward directly, full of indomitable courage.

Quite mysteriously, as Chen Qi gradually approached the warning sign, the jade card in his hand also began to bloom with a little starlight.

This made Chen Qi feel a lot more relieved in an instant, and it really worked.

……

"Click, click!"

The moment Chen Qi's right foot stepped into that fork in the road, there was neither lightning and thunder, nor did the sky and earth change color, everything was still so calm.

For the purpose of the experiment, Chen Qi quietly took a step back, and the fork in the road still appeared in front of him, and did not disappear.

After several attempts and tosses, Chen Qi did not feel any wonder at all on this fork in the road.

In the end, Chen Qi gave up on his experiment and kept moving forward.

Extremely strange, this road seems to have no end at all.

And as Chen Qi went deeper, clouds of fog rose on both sides of the road.

Chen Qi resisted his curiosity and did not use any means against the fog.

After all, Senior Sister Feng had already warned him that he must not use any extraordinary power on the fork in the road.

Once this happens, the jade card will be invalid, and Chen Qi will really enter a fork in the road in life.

……

Chen Qi didn't know how long he had been walking on the fork in the road, but the sky around him was dark.

Very suddenly, a little starlight suddenly appeared above the sky.

Subconsciously, Chen Qi glanced up.

The stars are twinkling, like eyes, looking at Chen Qi.

Chen Qi thought that he was just taking a peek and would not cause any disturbance.

After all, when Senior Sister Feng talked about these stars, she just warned him not to look at them for too long.

But Chen Qi forgot that he was very special.

His sensing ability is far beyond his current realm.

……

"Boom!"

At the moment when Chen Qi looked at those stars, time and space suddenly folded.

Those stars, which were originally only the size of rice grains, turned into incomparably vast eyes, staring at Chen Qi deadly.

At that moment, Chen Qi felt that the sky had collapsed, and he was being watched by countless strange things.

"Praise be to the Lord!"

"Bless all beings!"

"Meditation is endless!"

"Turn back to the shore!"

Countless broken thoughts came from the sky, and Chen Qi felt that his heart was shaking.

Fortunately, as he cut off his gaze from the stars, the plane returned to its original appearance again.

The stars still hung like grains of rice in the sky.

……

"Damn, the Witchcraft Academy is too evil this day!"

"What kind of existence is the Divine Master?"

"He even wants to bless all beings!"

"I still don't know anything about this academy!"

What happened just now, Chen Qi was extremely sure that it was not his own delusion.

Maybe the real time and space scale has not changed, but at that moment, the distance between him and those strange beings has indeed narrowed.

Because the gap was so huge, Chen Qi couldn't confirm what those stars were, or even whether they were real life.

But Chen Qi saw something hidden in the depths of the sky at the moment when those stars approached.

It was a dense black chain that seemed to wrap around something, holding it in lockdown.

But it was too dark for Chen Qi's gaze to reach.

In fact, Chen Qi is extremely glad that he is weak now, because if he really sees what is hidden in the dark, there is a high probability that he will cause big trouble.

……

After encountering the fright just now, Chen Qi didn't squint, just walked with his head down.

Chen Qi didn't know how long he had been gone, he just kept walking.

Maybe it was because Chen Qi had stared at the ground for too long, and it was extremely mysterious, and his mind actually had a trace of induction with the road under his feet.

To be more precise, it was Chen Qi's mind that locked the road under his feet.

The moment he discovered this situation, Chen Qi almost broke out in a cold sweat.

He thought he was dead again, but he really didn't mean to!

But Chen Qi soon discovered that nothing had changed around him.

He is still on this path.

……

But soon, after continuing to move forward for a distance, Chen Qi finally noticed something unusual.

However, this anomaly did not occur on the real level, but in his psyche.

Incomparably mysterious, Chen Qi's mind actually wrote down the route he had just walked.

Then Chen Qi was extremely surprised to find that he did not walk in a straight line all the time, but zigzag, even criss-crossed.

As Chen Qi memorized more and more walking routes, an incomparably familiar pattern suddenly appeared in his mind.

……

"The palm print, the route I walked, turned out to be the palm print of a human being."

"Am I walking on the palm of some being?"

An unbelievable guess came to Chen Qi's mind, but even if it was no longer inconceivable, after Chen Qi carefully calculated, he found that his walking route was really intertwined into a palm print.

It's just that this palm print is still a little mutilated, obviously because Chen Qi has not completely finished it.

……

Perhaps because he already had a cognition in his heart, Chen Qi was still walking on the fork in the road, but the feeling was completely different.

In Chen Qi's field of vision, the road under his feet is no longer the ground in reality, but the lines on the palm of a vast hand.

Chen Qi became more and more shocked, and everything became more and more real.

In the end, Chen Qi could even see the looming blood vessels on the palm prints.

It's a pity that this is all that Chen Qi has seen.

Because in the next moment, he stepped into the air and fell directly into the sea.
