Chapter 836: Simply not human

Translator: 549690339 

When Feng bujue woke up, he was already sprawled out on li Ruoyu’s bed.

Of course, this could also be considered his own bed. At least, it was a few days ago …

The moment he opened his eyes, Feng bujue tried to move his body, but he realized that he could only move his head slightly. He could not move anything below his neck. However, his limbs and body weren’t restrained by any handcuffs or cloth, and it looked like he was just lying there naturally.

“Hey, hey …” Feng bujue s.h.i.+fted his gaze, and he soon saw li Ruoyu who was standing by the bed and looking down at him.”What is going on?”

“Even you … Have a psychological blind spot.” RUO Yu was still as cold as ever as she calmly replied,”just because I’m eating at the same table as you, you took it for granted that I wouldn’t add anything to the dishes …”

“Normally speaking, even if you didn’t sit down to eat with me … You wouldn’t have added anything to the food, right?” Feng bujue could not help but complain,”Speaking of which, you suddenly went out to buy groceries and cook today … So that’s your purpose!”

“That’s right. ” RUO Yu replied frankly,”although it’s not impossible to knock you out, I’m more inclined to this gentler method.”

“That … What are you trying to do?” Feng bujue looked at the man.”If you want to do that to me, there should be a gentler way … Like telling me directly. I believe the chances of me rejecting you are very low …”

“Ha … You little hooligan …” Suddenly, a man’s voice came from the other side of the room.”How dare you flirt with the granddaughter of our Section Chief …”

The voice was unfamiliar, and Feng bujue was certain that this was the first time he had heard it. To his surprise … He didn’t “feel” that there was such a person in the room. One had to know that brother Jue was someone who could even sense the ‘rotation of the Earth’. However, this man was able to make him unable to detect him. This was no ordinary person.

“Hey … Who are you?” Feng bujue turned to the voice and asked a question that he had already guessed.

In fact, when the other party said the word “Section Chief,” he had already speculated that this person was a member of the “nine departments”. However, he still asked, wanting to hear the other party’s self-introduction.

“I’m … The Vice Section Chief of Department 9. ” The man replied neither obsequiously nor haughtily,”his surname is Qi, and his first name is Zhi.”

When Qi Zhi was talking, Feng bujue had already given him a quick once over. It was a handsome man who looked to be in his thirties. His hair was neatly combed. He was wearing a long-sleeved T-s.h.i.+rt and a pair of long leather pants. He exuded the aura of a family man.

It was worth mentioning that … At this moment, Qi Zhi was sitting on a chair, and Arthas was crawling on his knees … The former was even stroking the latter’s hair.

“Hey! The guy who ate my food, lived in my house, and claimed to be here to protect me … Yes! “It’s you …” Feng bujue roared when his eyes met Arthas ‘s.”I’m already lying here, what are you doing?”

“Meow …” Arthas stretched his neck comfortably and replied lazily,”what’s there to be surprised about … Isn’t my relaxed state the best proof that ‘these two are not a threat to you’?”

“Er …” Feng bujue was speechless.

“Alright, Feng bujue, stop making a fuss.” Qi Zhi continued,”I’m a 70 – 80 year old man. It’s not easy for me to go out to do field work during mealtimes, right? Just take it as you’re being considerate and let me finish my business and go back for dinner … Let me tell you, my wife hates to heat up food again and again. She’ll kill people after she’s done it more than twice. ”

“Oh, another one?” Feng bujue could not help but be reminded of department leader Gu, who also looked like he was in his thirties but claimed to be in his seventies.”You guys from Department 9 sure know how to take care of your skin …”

“This is called a ‘hyper spirit’.” Qi Zhi’s answer was exactly the same as Gu Chen ‘s,”it has nothing to do with maintenance.”

“Grandfather Qi Zhi is of the same generation as my grandaunt. He’s indeed in his 70s,” RUO Yu added.

“Alright, alright … Whatever.” Feng bujue asked immediately,”you used medicine to paralyze me and then used a spell to pin me down on the bed. What are you planning to do?”

“Naturally, I’m preparing to deal with the mutation that has occurred in your body.” Qi Zhi replied.

“Deal with …” Feng bujue narrowed his eyes and repeated the word.”How do we deal with it?” Who’s going to handle it?” Without waiting for the other party to reply, he quickly continued,”I’ll say this first … No matter what form of ‘handling’ you’re referring to … If possible, I still hope that RUO Yu will do it.”

“Ha …” Qi Zhi laughed. He looked at brother Jue, then at RUO Yu, and then s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to brother Jue’s face.”I’m sorry, this girl’s skills are not good enough. I have to do it.”

“Oh …” Feng bujue replied and put on a hopeless expression. He turned his head away.”Please … Please knock me out first.”

“First, if we could do it while you were unconscious, we wouldn’t have to wake you up.” Qi Zhi replied,”secondly, can you not always bring this topic to a perverted atmosphere?”

“Forget it … Grandfather Qi Zhi, he’s just like that …” RUO Yu held her forehead and shook her head.”Just do what you need to do and ignore him.”

“Look, even Ruoyu is embarra.s.sed for you …” Qi Zhi said and gently put Arthas down. He stood up and walked to the bed.

“Wait a minute …” Feng bujue’s body tensed up when he saw the man closing in on him.”Before we do anything, can you explain the whole situation and … What exactly are you going to do?”

“Sure,” Qi Zhi replied in a very casual tone,”this afternoon, our miss Yu came to Department 9’s headquarters in a hurry. She went straight to the Department chief’s office and reported your situation to her grandaunt, who is our Department Chief …”

“I’m not in a hurry …” RUO Yu muttered.

However, Qi Zhi ignored her and continued to say,””As for our Section Chief … He’s a very busy man with a lot of work, many excuses, and a very shameless person. “So, he came up with an idea of ‘drugging’ and sent me here …” He raised his hands and made a quotation mark,”…’Act according to the situation’.”

“Hmm …’See the foundation and get wet’, right?” Feng bujue read it out loud.”This instruction is really …”

“I’ve checked your condition and asked for Arthas’s opinion. ” Qi Zhi ignored brother Jue’s complaint and continued,”we can basically confirm that … Some high-level creature used its power to release the potential in your body.”

“So … This is a good thing?” Feng bujue asked.

“Probably …” Qi Zhi’s expression changed slightly when he replied.

“Hey! Probably?” When Feng bujue heard that, he had a bad feeling.

“Before today, anyone whose spiritual sense had reached a certain level could tell that your root bone was not right.” RUO Yu continued,”but now …”

“Even I can’t tell what your root bone is like now.” Qi Zhi took over the conversation and said,”I’ve never encountered such a situation with a human before. Even if it’s a demon or ghost … I can see some of it, but you … I can’t understand.”

“How can I not understand … Tell me, I’ll help a.n.a.lyze it.” This was related to his own health, so Feng bujue was still very concerned.

“I’ll give you a more vivid example to explain. ” Qi Zhi thought for a few seconds and replied,”if you compare ‘person’ to a bottle of water, then, root bone determines the bottle ‘s’ shape ‘, and talent determines the bottle’ s ‘maximum capacity’ and the ‘acc.u.mulation speed’ of water. As for how much water there is in the bottle, which is how strong you are at the moment … It depends on your specific cultivation.” He paused for a moment.”Take RUO Yu as an example. She’s the type with excellent innate ability and high talent. However, she was not a full-time ghost hunter, and she did not receive any harsh training since she was a child. Her grandparents would sometimes give her some advice … So, we can see it as an upright, huge bottle with only a little water inside. ”

When Qi Zhi was explaining these things, RUO Yu also looked like she was listening to the cla.s.s. She listened attentively, and it seemed like she was quite interested in brother Jue’s matters.

And you … Feng bujue.” Two seconds later, Qi Zhi crossed his hands in front of his chest and frowned slightly.”At first, I heard that your root bone isn’t right, but your talent isn’t bad. In other words … Your shape isn’t that right, but your capacity is still okay. But now … From what I can see, you’re no longer a ‘bottle of water’.”

“If it’s not water, then is it soy sauce?” Feng bujue added.

“Hey, you’re right.” Unexpectedly, Qi Zhi nodded and replied,”to be exact … You’re not ‘a bottle’ of soy sauce, but a lump of soy sauce that has been so thick that it’s almost solid in some container.”

“In any case, he’s not a normal person …” Feng bujue added.

“No, no, no…” Qi Zhi waved his hand.”This isn’t a normal question …” He paused for half a second.”You’re not human.”

“Yeah, I’m soy sauce.” Brother Jue mumbled to himself and rolled his eyes.

“Hehe …” Qi Zhi chuckled.”Forget it. When your cultivation level is high enough, you will understand some things without me explaining them. Perhaps you can even answer some of my questions.” As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves.”Then now … I’ll pa.s.s on ten years of internal energy to you first to solve the urgent need.”

“Eh? Is there such a good thing?” Feng bujue was first overjoyed, but then he was suspicious.”Wait … What do you mean by urgent?”

“Oh … I forgot to tell you that you have too much potential. After awakening, it has been stagnant, which caused your spirit meridians to be blocked and your soul channels to not flow smoothly. This caused your spirit body to devour.” Qi Zhi replied,”if you didn’t practice the escaping armor heavenly book and acc.u.mulate some spiritual power … This power would have exhausted your physical strength and started to devour your fate within half a day.”

“What the f * ck!” Even though Feng bujue was not afraid, he would not be calm when he heard something like this.

“It’s alright …” Qi Zhi glanced at RUO Yu.”This girl’s report was timely. She called me over on the same day. If it had been delayed for a day or two, you might have been exhausted to death by the ‘power in your body’.”

At this point, Qi Zhi seemed to have thought of something, and he said to brother Jue in a joking tone,””Kid, this is a life-saving grace, you understand.”

“Ah, I know.” Feng bujue nodded and turned to RUO Yu.”Thank you for saving my life, heroine.”

“It’s my duty to supervise you. There’s no need to thank me. ” RUO Yu’s response was as light as water.

However, before they could finish, Qi Zhi had already flicked brother Jue’s forehead …

“Ah!” Brother Jue yelped in pain and immediately turned to Qi Zhi.”Hey! What are you doing?”

“He saved your life, and you’re just going to thank him?” Qi Zhi asked in a strange tone.

“Oh?” Hearing that, Feng bujue’s expression changed. He had a feeling that this vice Section Chief was trying to help him.”Senior, you mean …”

Before Qi Zhi could answer, RUO Yu’s sharp eyes and words had already reached him,””Vice Section Chief Qi, you seem to talk too much outside of official business.”

“What the … His eyes are so scary …” Qi Zhi didn’t dare to speak under the glare of a junior who was more than 50 years younger than him. He was still complaining in his heart,”and he suddenly changed the way he addressed me … In the end, what does this have to do with me … That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Gu Chen told me to find an opportunity to’ a.s.sist ‘, but he was actually scheming against me … Or maybe this old b.a.s.t.a.r.d misunderstood me …”

“Uh-huh …” After a monologue, Qi Zhi cleared his throat and changed the topic.”Okay, back to the topic …” He turned to Feng bujue with a serious expression.”In any case, I can’t just leave you be. My ten years of cultivation …… Is like a large amount of high-quality water. It can have the effect of diluting your ‘soy sauce block’ and turn it into the normal ‘soy sauce’. However … This process required time. Therefore, for at least three months, please stop cultivating psionic power. We’ll decide after three months depending on the situation. ”

“I see …” Feng bujue said.”I understand …” He paused and looked at Qi Zhi with a sincere gaze.”But … Senior, three months without cultivation is a great loss for me.” He continued to boast shamelessly,”with my talent, it’s hard to say how much progress I can make in three months … You’re already in your seventies. Isn’t it a little stingy to only pa.s.s on ten years ‘worth of cultivation to me? At the very least, it’s only reasonable if you have 68 or 69 years of cultivation. ”

Qi Zhi was stunned after hearing this. He was stunned for a full ten seconds.

“Ha … Hahahaha …” Qi Zhi laughed. After a few laughs, he looked up at RUO Yu and said,”girl, this kid has a bright future. Really, you can consider him.”

“Consider what?” RUO Yu asked. From her expression, she didn’t seem to be playing dumb. She really didn’t know what he meant.

Qi Zhi saw her reaction and turned to Feng bujue.””You … Is there something you haven’t told her?”

“Oh, you can tell?” Brother Jue was shocked.

“Oh …” Even though Feng bujue did not answer the question directly, Qi Zhi seemed to have understood something. I think I know what Gu means now … He thought to himself, Humph … This is not my place to be involved, and I don’t need to be involved.

“Feng bujue,” Qi Zhi said seriously several seconds later,”do you know what ‘my ten years of cultivation’ is?” When he asked this question, he deliberately emphasized the word “I.”

“Er …” Feng bujue felt like there was a trap in that sentence, so he did not answer immediately.

“Ha … I’ll let you know.” As Qi Zhi spoke, he placed a hand on the top of brother Jue’s head.

“It won’t hurt, right? Senior. ” Feng bujue asked.

“It won’t hurt,” Qi Zhi immediately replied.

“That’s good. ” Brother Jue’s heart settled.

“But it’s very painful.” Qi Zhi’s second half of the sentence only came out after a second.

“Hey!” Feng bujue exploded.”What’s the Difference?!”

“Yes …” Qi Zhi’s answer was a cla.s.sic.”The pain can be endured.”

“So you’re saying that this pain has reached the point of no tolerance?” Feng bujue added.

“Otherwise, why would I use a formation to hold your body in place?” Qi Zhi continued,”by the way, imparting spiritual techniques and the general ‘infusion of spiritual power’ are two different concepts. The degree of pain is enough to temporarily wake up a person who is in a deep coma, so … There is no difference in carrying out it while he is unconscious.”

“Can you describe the exact feeling?” Feng bujue was already covered in cold sweat.

“It’s like blowing a balloon. ” Qi Zhi said.

“Which part of the balloon is painful?” Feng bujue asked.

“You’re a balloon. ” Qi Zhi replied.

“Hmm …” Feng bujue’s face was ashen. His only wish was for the energy transfer process to be shorter.”How long will that take?”

“A minute for a year’s worth of cultivation.” Qi Zhi replied.

“Teach me for a year first. Can you pay me in installments for the rest of the year?” Brother Jue, who had just asked for her sixty-nine years of cultivation, was now suggesting the same thing.

“F * ck, do you really think it’s like blowing a balloon?” If Qi Zhi, who was in his seventies or eighties, was already ‘F * cked’, it showed how unreliable brother Jue’s words were.”You think things like setting up formations and imparting skills are that easy, don’t you? Let me tell you, in our line of work, if it was more than a thousand years ago, we would have to charge a string of copper coins to draw a talisman for someone; For an expert of my level, I would have to charge at least five taels of silver to come and look at someone’s Feng Shui. As for the formation … Ha! You can settle it without twenty taels? Strength imparting? Bah! Unless you hire me as your son-in-law, and you still have to see if your daughter is beautiful. ”

“No wonder Daoism isn’t as prosperous as Buddhism. They’re such gangsters …” Feng bujue commented.

“Who told you that our ghost hunter is from Taoism?” Qi Zhi asked.

“Then, we are …” Feng bujue tried to ask.

“Alright, don’t say ‘we we’… Trying to worm information out of me, huh? You think I can’t tell?” Qi Zhi wasn’t muddleheaded.”Don’t be so long-winded. Hold on!”

After that, his right palm came down and covered Feng bujue’s forehead.

The next second, brother Jue felt a surge of spiritual energy pouring down on him.

This was indeed not physical pain. To describe it in detail, it was more like a person’s soul was being washed by a torrent ten times more violent than a waterfall. The force of the impact did not flow away like a waterfall, but instead continued to increase …
