Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 340 Two Plans for Dealing with the Condensed Evil Pearl

The next day, the sky was clear.

Xu Shen, Mo Fan and Mochizuki Qianxun returned to the Magic City on the private plane provided by the Lin family.

This time, Qingtian Hunting House was unusually fully staffed.

Not only was King Leng the Hunter, who checked in under the tree all day long, but also Old Man Bao, who was elusive, and Senior Sister Leng Qing, who was on the road all year round, were all there.

And Lingling, she was almost bored to death after the Donghai City incident. As soon as Xu Shen entered the room, he saw her sitting in front of the window with her chin resting on her head in a daze.

Leng Liewang asked: "Didn't you go to participate in the National Government Competition? Why did you come back suddenly? And who is this lady..."

Since they were all family, Mo Fan didn't beat around the bush. After introducing Mochizuki Chixun, he directly said that he had clues about the Red Devil.

As expected, even Old Man Bao was upset. Senior Sister Leng Qing tactfully closed the door, and the others sat together to listen to Mo Fan's story.

After Mo Fan finished speaking, Leng Liewang thought for a long time before speaking: "Xu Shen, what do you think?"

"There is so little information available that I have no clue what to do."

Xu Shen shook his head and turned the topic to the mysterious old man Bao: "Mr. Bao, what do you think?"

This guy is a real hidden boss, and he even has a very close relationship with the Holy City. A large part of the reason why he returned to the country was just for him.

Old Man Bao did not comment, but instead asked Mo Fan for the Condensed Evil Pearl.

"This……"

Mo Fan was a little hesitant, but it wasn't that he was unwilling to give it.

Although Old Man Bao looked energetic, one could not ignore the fact that he was nearly 70 years old. Although it was unknown what his strength was like before, his magic level must have declined significantly now. If he made a fool of himself in front of the younger generation...

Mochizuki Chixun also reminded at the right time: "The bewitching power of this bead is very strong."

"I'll give it to you if you ask me to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Old Man Bao was fuming with anger. Mo Fan's kindness was taken for granted and he was too lazy to think about him. He took out the beads in a bad mood, and then saw Lao Deng tearing off the silver paper that was used to block the breath without any safety measures.

Mochizuki Chixun's face changed instantly. She pulled the wheelchair with one hand and Lingling with the other, and retreated desperately, reminding everyone to get out of the way quickly.

Old Man Bao was speechless. As a big boss who once worked in the Holy City, he had seen all kinds of evil things. Was it necessary to have such a big reaction to a mere broken bead?
Mochizuki Chixun, who had already broken out of the door, waited for a long time. The room was still as quiet as before, so she leaned against the door frame and looked inside.

Mo Fan and Xu Shen drank their tea calmly.

The old man and the other woman looked at the evil bead carefully, but there was no sign of being possessed by evil spirits.

"Si Guoyi!"

Mochizuki Chisaki's face was full of confusion and surprise.

In Japan, he bewitched everyone he touched. How come the evil bead, like a big devil, can't stand up when it comes to China?
Lingling rubbed her arm which was so painful from being pulled, and her eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

On the other hand, Leng Liewang, who was pressed to the ground by a wheelchair, was very well-mannered. He just shook his head and smiled.

Having made a fool of herself, Mochizuki Chixun embarrassedly helped Leng Liewang onto a wheelchair and pushed him into the room. She straightened up the door that she had broken and bowed skillfully to apologize: "I'm sorry, I will compensate you."

"Cheng Hui, 100 million."

Seeing Lingling open the QR code, Mochizuki Chixun was stunned for a moment and then honestly took out her mobile phone to transfer the money.

When Xu Shen saw this scene, his eyelids twitched slightly.

She got 100 million just by opening her mouth. She is indeed a black-hearted loli.

"This bead has a soul." After examining it for a long time, Old Man Bao finally said, "And its power is indeed from the same source as that of the Red Devil."

"In this case, we can basically conclude that the Red Devil who appeared in the Magic City more than 20 years ago was Yi Qiu," Leng Liewang said, "I want to go to Japan and maybe I can find some clues."

Lingling also said: "That's right. Even if a person's personality changes drastically, it is difficult for him to change his previous living habits. I will accompany Dad to look for Yiqiu's old friends. Maybe we can find some clues."

Leng Qing sneered: "If you don't want to go to school, just say so."

Lingling was not embarrassed at all when her thoughts were seen through: "Do you want a disabled person to go by himself?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xu Shen coughed lightly and said, "What should we do with this bead?"

Mo Fan was a little depressed. "The old man Mingjian made promises to me, saying that after purification, I could use it as materials for upgrading my summoned beasts. Now it seems that this is no longer possible."

Leng Qing shook his head: "It is extremely rare to be able to condense a weapon soul. It is a pity to destroy it like this."

Mochizuki Qianxun said weakly: "But you don't want to see anyone else bewitched by this evil bead and commit heinous crimes, right?"

Mo Fan also asked: "Is there any way to have the best of both worlds?" Old Man Bao stared at Mo Fan thoughtfully for a long time, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

Finally, Mo Fan couldn't hold it in any longer: "Why are you looking at me?"

"follow me."

Old Man Bao opened the secret room and Mo Fan followed him in nervously.

After the two left, the room fell silent for a moment, and there was an inexplicable awkwardness.

Xu Shen made small talk: "Why is Senior Sister Leng Qing back?"

Leng Qing glanced at Mochizuki Qianxun without leaving a trace, and said in a light tone: "Nothing, I'm going home to visit during my vacation."

"Oh."

……

In the secret room, Mo Fan was stunned: "How did you know?"

"The Dongting Demon made such a big fuss. Do you think our country's intelligence system is just a decoration?"

Mo Fan smiled awkwardly. He thought he had hidden it very well.

As he laughed, he came to his senses and quickly explained: "Don't blame me for this. This demon system was created by that madman named Lu Nian. Don't slice me up for research."

"Okay, if I really wanted to do something to you, you wouldn't be alive today," said Old Man Bao unhappily, "This Condensed Evil Pearl is not completely without merit. Qingqing is right. It would be a pity to destroy it like this."

"So you brought me here..."

"You are not bewitched by this evil bead, it should be the credit of your demonic nature."

"High probability, right?"

"What is the probability?"

"Uh... definitely!"

Mo Fan said with absolute certainty.

In fact, he still has a biggest secret that has not been revealed.

That is the small loach pendant that looks like a totem vessel.

He felt that the fact that he was not affected by the evil bead might not only be due to the demon system, but also the increasingly active loach soul might have played a big role.

However, the old man was mysterious and he didn't dare to tell the secret.

"I have two plans," said Old Man Bao. "One is to destroy its evil soul and completely purify the bead. Then it will be a pure energy carrier. When you cast the demonic element in the future, you can use the energy stored in it as repayment."

"No need for a second option, this is it!"

Mo Fan was overjoyed and made his choice without hesitation.

Strictly speaking, demonology is also a type of black magic.

The biggest difference between black magic and other magic is that its power source is not the blue star.

The source of black magic is in the dark plane. Using black magic is like "borrowing money" from the dark plane. As the saying goes, what is borrowed must be repaid. In ancient times, some wizards often used human blood, souls and other strange things as the price of repayment. This also led to black magic being disliked by the world and being a "heresy" that everyone wanted to fight against.

Later, black magic was constantly improved and the objects of repayment were transformed into dark magic power that was cultivated by oneself. In addition, the light magic practice system gradually matured. Only then was black magic recognized by the Holy City and the Magic Association and incorporated into the orthodox practice system.

Of course, the above is normal black magic.

But the demon system is not normal. It has a huge appetite. Every time it uses it, not only will its own cultivation level decline, but it also requires a large amount of demon essence to barely fill its stomach.

Perhaps human souls can also do it, but Mo Fan has never tried it. This is a road of no return. Once infected, there will always be a day when you fall into hell.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Old Man Bao said dissatisfiedly, "This plan is not the best solution. Without the soul, this evil bead is just a dead object. If it doesn't encounter energy from the same source, it won't be able to actively absorb energy and recharge. Maybe it will just become a decoration in the end."

“Ah…” Mo Fan was stunned: “So, what is the second method?”

"The second option," said Old Man Bao meaningfully, "It depends on whether Xu Shen can give us the support."

"Huh? Why is there still a business about him?"

In the original novel, there are two senior brothers in Qingtian Hunting Station. It seems that one is bald and the other is a master hunter, but they have never appeared. It is better to just delete them. It does not affect the plot.
