Chapter 302 Interrogation

However, just after nodding, Shen Shuibi suddenly discovered something.

Li Qi said naturally: "Wait for decades."

Therefore, she glanced at Li Qi again, tilted her head suspiciously and asked, "Are you... starting to get used to your own life? Didn't you just reach the seventh level an hour ago?"

This really surprised Shen Shuibi. Li Qi grew up too fast, right? For normal people to adapt to endless life, why should there be an adaptation period of hundreds of years, right?

For a long time, those who have just entered the seventh level will not be tired of the pleasures of the world. Although they are immortal, the new immortals will have the feeling that "there are still so many places worth going to, so many things worth seeing, This world is really interesting.”

They will maintain the same concept of time as before, until one day, they begin to realize the repetitive nature of the world.

That kind of uniformity among mortals, the same animalistic nature no matter how many times you see it.

Until then, the Immortals will set their sights on those things that are truly worth challenging, those great undertakings that are grand enough for them to devote themselves to.

However, Li Qi replied: "Well, although I have just reached the seventh level, the great witch reminded me not to stick to temporary gains and losses, but to focus on the long term. I think it makes sense. Although I can't understand it directly, I want to To develop this sense of time, you should start making plans now.”

When Shen Shuibi heard this, she was about to say something, but quickly shook her head.

He hesitated to speak.

It was useless to start planning in advance at this time. She originally wanted to remind Li Qi.

But it's not necessary. It's a good thing that Li Qi has his own ideas. It's still a long time. Li Qi has thousands of years to slowly explore the method that really suits him.

As for now, just be happy for him.

Rabbit thought: "That's good. By the way, I was thinking about how to celebrate after you reach seventh rank. I didn't expect it to be so soon... I was caught off guard. I'll wait until you come to Holy Flame next time. When the time comes, I’ll prepare a gift for you.”

"Well, okay, I will contact the merchant of the Holy Flame first. The next time I come... in half a year, you can prepare to collect the Holy Flame using martial arts and medical skills. I can pack it up when I come next time. Take it away and bring it to the world."

"I will pay attention, but... do you want to contact the Shinto people and barter directly, or sell it in Tang State and exchange it for silver?" Shen Shuibi asked.

"Not necessarily. I'm going to look for a Shinto international student with a good status in Taixue. Maybe we can talk." Li Qi replied.

"Okay." Rabbit nodded.

The two chatted about some miscellaneous matters, whispered some things that were not suitable for outsiders to talk about, and then hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Then, everyone did their own thing.

Shen Shuibi continued to compile secret books to guide the Son of Destiny, and collected some holy flames along the way.

Li Qize went to look for sales of Shengyan and studied at Taixue.

There are still a few days until Taixue starts school, and Li Qi has been huddled in the house these days, recuperating his body.

After possessing the true nature, the small world of the human body needed to be re-adjusted. While flipping through books to find out how to solve the situation, he began to make tentative adjustments.

As this kind of work began to progress, his internal friction became lower and lower, and he became closer and closer to 'harmony'.

However, it was far from the flawless harmony that the great witch had shown him.

The most he can do now is the water and soil cycle. If he wants to maintain his vitality, he must continue to seize external resources. He cannot achieve the internal cycle forever by himself.

However, with this kind of running-in, his internal friction is getting lower and lower, and the power he can use is getting stronger and stronger.

He also took this opportunity to start repairing the hidden wounds in his body, the weaknesses reflected by the Three Lives Ancient Mirror.

However, there is only so much that can be repaired these days.

Li Qi estimated that this kind of conditioning to reduce internal friction would take at least twenty years to achieve significant results.

This is a long-term project and cannot be rushed.

Just like treating floods, if you rush for a while, you will get worse and worse. You need to understand it in detail and slowly relieve it, so that the water and soil can be safe.

However, not being in a hurry is just to stop worrying, rather than letting people take a vacation. You still have to insist on sorting it out every day.

This work lasted for two days.

Just when Li Qi was concentrating on practicing together, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the room.

Li Qi opened his eyes.

Well, Tang people are still very efficient.

Thinking this, he stood up, walked over, and opened the door.

Outside the door were several practitioners dressed in black and well-dressed. Without exception, they were all seventh-grade practitioners.

After reaching the seventh level, Li Qi's perception became much sharper, and he also had two strands of Zhenzhiyun that merged into one, so he could feel their auras more clearly.

It is much clearer than the vague perception at the eighth level, and it can even be used to speculate on their cultivation methods.

Li Qi didn't know how the seventh-level human being could achieve immortality, because it was considered a cultivation secret and would not be revealed to others easily, but the aura he felt at this moment... was different from other seventh-level ones that Li Qi had seen.

The witchcraft is created out of nothing. In a similar way to the creation of the universe, the vitality that can make him live forever is born out of thin air.

Li Qi has never practiced the Taoist method, but through Shen Shuibi, he can feel that it is a method similar to the witchcraft. There is no step of creating something out of nothing, but to collect the qi of all things, breathe in and out, absorb the qi from the outside world, store it in the body, and condense it into a golden elixir and the primordial spirit. The whole body is mixed as one, and natural aging stops completely.

It is similar to the witchcraft, but the realization is very different. Li Qi is still aging, but at the same time, the vitality that continues to appear is making up for it, allowing him to prolong his life while aging, achieving a dynamic balance similar to the operation of the heavenly way. This is also the "round and natural" pursued by the witchcraft.

But the Taoist perfects the body through the primordial golden elixir, and the yin spirit and yang spirit perfect the soul, so that the two are completely solidified, not exposed to wind and rain, so that the life span does not lose or evaporate.

And the people in front of him...

are even more bizarre.

Li Qi can feel that their little world in the human body seems to be completely open.

A whole open system, even Li Qi can feel that their bodies are constantly communicating with the outside world.

But it is not a cycle, but pure plunder.

There are constantly impurities being eliminated, and then the essence of the outside world is absorbed. The required air becomes the material and is left behind, and then the remaining impurities are discharged.

This is the result after these people have restrained themselves. If they are allowed to fully exert their full strength and absorb wantonly, I am afraid that they will soon be able to plunder all the vitality of a world that is not in the rank, turning it into a dead place.

Even if it is a world of the ninth rank, I am afraid that it can only support them to absorb wantonly for a few hundred years, and it will soon be exhausted.

It is really... a way of longevity full of human characteristics.

If it is broken, it will be replaced. If it is gone, it will be asked for from the outside world, and its longevity will be maintained through continuous plunder.

As for the outside world...

It will naturally recover quickly. After thousands of years of deposition and circulation, these impurities will sooner or later become the nutrients of the new air, and then it will be enough to absorb the new air.

When the black-clothed men saw Li Qi open the door, they saluted first, and then showed their certificates.

They are all people from the Dali Temple, but only one of them has an official status.

The one who led the way has an official status, wearing official uniforms, and the certificates he took out can also be checked.

The chief clerk of the Dali Temple was a seventh-rank official. In addition to his official position, he was also a seventh-rank official.

The rest were all clerks who worked in the Dali Temple but had no official status. However, they all had the seventh-rank cultivation. They should be similar to the special field search team.

"Mr. Li, we are here to investigate the assassination of the young master. Is that right?" The chief clerk of the Dali Temple looked at Li Qi and said with a smile.

The chief clerk was in charge of the documents and books. He should be here to record Li Qi's files in person.

"So it's the masters of the Dali Temple who are here. Please come in quickly." Li Qi saw this and hurriedly welcomed the men in black into the yard.

However, they did not come in, but left two standing outside the door to guard.

Although they said they were guarding, Li Qi found that his yard was suddenly separated from the outside world.

The unique magic of the Dali Temple?

He could not see the way, but except for really knowing the rhyme, other means could not detect the situation outside.

There was indeed something.

The rest of the staff followed Li Qi into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, the chief clerk sat aside and said that he would not ask questions, but would hand it over to professional criminal officers to communicate with Li Qi.

Li Qi understood.

The so-called criminal officers are those truly experienced criminal investigators, right?

It's just... not by officials to "question", but by criminal officers to "interrogate", is this a warning to himself?

But he still looked calm and waited for the other party's interrogation.

One of the men in black took the initiative to come forward. He was dressed neatly and had an ordinary but energetic appearance. There was nothing particularly eye-catching.

But Li Qi naturally knew that being able to reach the seventh rank already showed the ability of these people, and their appearance and clothes could not explain anything.

The experienced criminal officer asked: "Mr. Li, according to the information provided by Lord Jingzhao Yin, the great witch Mi Xin said before he left that the Wushen Mountain claimed that this was an assassination against you, led by the Imperial Academy. Is this true?"

"It is true. The Imperial Academy used the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon to try to assassinate me with the help of the Three Lives Ancient Mirror." Li Qi replied.

The criminal officer did not comment, regardless of whether what Li Qi said was true or not, and just asked: "You were an eighth-rank and he was a sixth-rank at that time. The distance was so close, how did you survive when he attacked?"

Li Qi also answered straightforwardly: "He was not a suicide attack, so he naturally had to find a way to frame me. When the Three Lives Ancient Mirror reflected my weakness, he released the magic energy. He only supported me and did not attack me personally, just to make my Tao heart crack and die."

"Then how did you resist the magic energy of the Heavenly Demon?" The criminal officer asked again.

Li Qi said frankly: "I don't know the mystery of the Three Lives Ancient Mirror. I was invaded by the magic energy, but my Tao heart was firm, and the Heavenly Demon could not do anything to me. But after the Heavenly Demon invaded, the Three Lives Ancient Mirror had an accident, the mirror surface cracked, I was wrapped in the chaotic universe light, unable to spy on the outside world, and the Heavenly Demon was also cut open, and I could not use half of my full strength, so I survived."

There was nothing false in this sentence, but it concealed some of Li Qi's personal speculations.

For example, Li Qi himself was not sure about the matter of the earth, and he didn't know whether it was true or false.

How could he tell the torturer something that he didn't know was true or false? Wouldn't that be misleading?

So Li Qi only told the facts and refused to mention any personal speculation.

The torturer did not ask any other questions from beginning to end, and only asked Li Qi to tell the truth.

All they needed were facts.

As long as they had the facts, they could infer the specific situation by themselves, without any association.

This questioning lasted for two quarters of an hour.

From the specific details of the Three-Life Ancient Mirror, to the appearance of the Chaos Universe Light, to the reaction of the Imperial Academy, including the fact that the Imperial Academy offered sacrifice to the Heavenly Demon, etc.

But Li Qi was extremely impatient from beginning to end. Although he was polite, he urged many times and hurriedly said that he still needed to stabilize his cultivation. For this reason, he also showed his body that had just broken through and was in disorder.

This was naturally true. Li Qi did break through, which caused the real nature of the human body to appear in the small world, so that his body became chaotic.

These complaints made the torturer speed up the questioning, but they still asked very detailed questions. After the questions were asked, they thanked Li Qi slightly, then packed up the documents and videos, and left neatly.

As for Li Qi, he also got what he wanted.

Although Li Qi did not ask questions from beginning to end, he was just answering questions.

But the attitude of the Dali Temple has told him a lot of things.

The Dali Temple asked in detail what they didn't know.

What they skipped was what they thought was unimportant, unnecessary to ask, or already known.

Li Qi repeatedly stated that he didn't have time and urged many times.

This was considered the first piece of information.

After the other party left, Li Qi did nothing else, and continued to adjust his body in the room to consolidate his just-breakthrough cultivation.

So, time passed quickly.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

In these few days, it was barely stable for the little world of human life, and there was no need to pay attention to it all the time.

It just takes time to achieve the most perfect appearance at present.

In the meantime, he also took the time to deal with some documents and got the formal admission judgment.

In the end, he was admitted to the Imperial College.

The results counted, and his actual test was A-level, because he broke through the seventh grade.

Breaking through during the test, this kind of thing is rare even in the Imperial College, especially the seventh grade, most of the students of the Imperial College did not have the seventh grade after graduation.

After confirming these things and waiting for a few days, Li Qi stood up from the room.

Is this considered... the end of the retreat?

Anyway, that's it.

After leaving the retreat today, he will report to the Imperial College.

Officially start school!

From today on, he officially enrolled.
