Chapter 540 It's Time to Become a Genius (5000)

Luo Jun directly chose to teleport, and after a moment of trance, he found himself in a wilderness...

"Eh?" Luo Jun was slightly stunned: "Where is this place?"

Looking at the unfamiliar scene around him, Luo Jun was confused: "Shouldn't I be in Master's house?"

"Could it be that, because of the changes caused by the restoration of the maze, there was a problem with my positioning when I returned? Then am I still in the main world?"

Luo Jun was startled and quickly took out his cell phone. After a look, he found that there was still a signal. It seemed that he was not only still in the main world, but also in the country.

When entering a chaos mission, you can only bring some simple personal items, including clothes. Sometimes you can bring a cell phone in, but the problem is that there is no signal in a chaos mission, so the role of a cell phone is limited. When Luo Jun entered a chaos mission before, he needed Ailontan to play him outside, and the cell phone was left to him, so he basically never brought it in.

This time he entered the mission unexpectedly, so he used his real face and brought his cell phone with him. Fortunately, it was fully charged in the rest area, otherwise he would not be able to use it now.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Luo Jun opened his address book and searched for the word "old" directly...

…………

"Mr. Yuan... this is the Yiling Pill you asked for!" A middle-aged man with a mustache trotted up to Mr. Yuan and took out a small box.

"Although this thing is only of epic grade, its effect limit is very high. It took a lot of effort to make it."

"Thank you!" Old Yuan nodded, took the box and opened it. A dark red pill was lying inside. With this, plus the wishing grass given to him by Ling Xin, he could bring that boy back!

"Then I'll be leaving now if I have nothing else to do." The man with the mustache wiped his sweat off his face and said, "If you need anything, please call me anytime."

As soon as the man with a mustache left, Yuan Lao's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw the name of the caller, which made his old eyes widen!

Subconsciously looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Mr. Yuan hurriedly left, went to a secluded place, and answered the phone.

"Hey?"

"Master, what are you busy with? Why did you answer the phone just now?"

"You little brat, you actually came back?"

"Why, Master, you don't seem happy that I'm back..."

"If you can come back, why did you take so long? You little brat, you made us so nervous these past two days!"

"It's not easy for me either, Master. You've only been here for two days. Do you know how many days I've been waiting in there?" Luo Jun complained, "The maze is so big, and I have to fight so many chaos monsters in there..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. It's good that you're back..." Yuan Lao breathed a sigh of relief: "Where are you now? Are you still at my house?"

"Speaking of this..." Luo Jun looked at the desolate wilderness around him: "I don't really know where I am?"

"What do you mean?" Old Yuan was stunned. Luo Jun then told him the whole story about how he solved the chaos pollution in the maze, which led to mutations in the maze and some mistakes when sending him back.

"You actually did so many things in there?" Old Yuan was very surprised, and then he scolded: "Don't be so impulsive next time, escape first when you have a chance, Chaos creatures are not so easy to deal with, don't think you have some ability and don't take the danger seriously!"

"I understand, Master..." Although he was scolded, Luo Jun still felt warm in his heart.

Yuan Lao sighed: "Since it can make calls, the phone should also be able to locate. Send me the location and I will arrange someone to pick you up."

"That's not necessary." Luo Jun said with a chuckle, "As long as you agree, it'll be fine."

"Agree? What do you mean?"

"I got a treasure this time, it's very convenient." Luo Jun told Yuan Lao about the effect of the teleportation staff again. Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the other party fell silent.

"Master? What's wrong?"

"Let me ask you... Have you made any progress in these few hundred days in there?" Old Yuan suddenly changed the subject.

Luo Jun didn't expect that Elder Yuan would suddenly ask this, so he could only answer honestly: "I have now practiced the ninth level of Pei Yuan Realm to the extreme, and there is basically nothing more to practice. I don't have any tendency to concentrate on the mind. I am afraid that my realm has really reached its limit..."

"It's okay..." Yuan Lao nodded and suddenly said, "Just listen to me. I'll call you later and you can try to transmit to me again!"

Luo Jun didn't know what Master Yuan was up to, but out of trust in his master, he could only nod and agree. About twenty minutes after hanging up the phone, Master Yuan called again.

"Can you locate me now?"

Luo Jun activated the teleportation staff as instructed. Old Yuan agreed immediately. After three seconds of chanting, Luo Jun disappeared from the wasteland and appeared in a spacious training room.

"This is..." Luo Jun looked around curiously, and Yuan Lao nodded: "Your teleportation tool is of a very high status. It can actually ignore the inert material of the vitality here. It is indeed a treasure."

"Inert material?" Luo Jun looked at the wide field and the training equipment around it: "Is this a school? I've never seen such a large training room."

“No…” Old Yuan shook his head: “This is Yuandu!”

"Yuandu?!" Luo Jun was greatly surprised. Which cultivator in Zhendan had not heard of Yuandu, the legendary headquarters of the Yuanxiu Society and the place where Wan Guiyuan, the number one person in Zhendan, was located? It was a holy place in the eyes of cultivators!
"Is there any important mission?" Luo Jun asked immediately, "Did they call you back during the New Year?"

"It's all because of you!" Yuan Lao sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about that..." As he spoke, Yuan Lao took out the wishing grass, "Come on, tear off a piece and make a wish for a breakthrough."

Luo Jun blinked his eyes, took it and swept it with his vital energy, and suddenly his eyes widened in fear: "Wow, a mythical treasure? Can you make a wish casually? With this treasure, can't your injury be cured?"

"Don't waste time, make a wish now." Yuan Lao urged, "solve your problem first."

Anyway, there were still three pieces left, so Luo Jun happily tore off one and made a wish: "Let me break through the state of concentration..."

After a moment, the leaves dissipated at his fingertips.

When Mr. Yuan saw this, his face lit up with joy, but he discovered that the leaf had returned to the petiole.

"Failed?" Yuan Lao was stunned. Luo Jun nodded: "What do you mean by wishing too much and can't be fulfilled..."

"Then change one!" Yuan Lao continued to urge: "It's OK to get a tendency."

Luo Jun did as he was told, but the result was still over the limit and could not be achieved.

Elder Yuan frowned and said, "It shouldn't be like this. It's just a breakthrough into the Condensed Mind Realm. How could it be so difficult?"

"Then I'll try another direction..." Luo Jun said, tearing off another leaf: "Break through the tenth level of Pei Yuan Realm."

As a result, this time, it still could not be achieved.

“If the tenth level of Pei Yuan Realm did not exist, the difficulty would only be higher than Ning Xin Jing.” Old Yuan shook his head and sighed.

"It seems that I am destined to not be able to make any further progress." Luo Jun couldn't help but feel discouraged as even the mythical artifact was helpless.

“Don’t be discouraged!” Elder Yuan encouraged, “The wishing grass is not omnipotent, and you are practicing a mythical technique, and your temperament is far beyond that of ordinary people. It is too difficult to break through, so it is understandable that the wishing grass cannot achieve it. It does not mean that you have no hope at all.”

Luo Jun sighed: "Then Master, don't waste this treasure, use it to heal your old injuries."

Old Yuan shook his head: "This is not mine in the first place, I can't use it carelessly..."

"What, it's not yours?" Luo Jun was stunned: "Then if you help me break through the realm, it won't be considered as misusing it?" "It's different..." Yuan Lao shook his head and said: "The owner of this leaf originally wanted to use a leaf to pull you out of the maze. Since you came out by yourself, this leaf helped you break through and was also used on you, so it doesn't count as going against the owner's wishes."

"I originally thought that you came to Yuandu quietly and used the leaves to break through. Then I would tell the master that you were rescued by the leaves, and she would naturally have no objection."

"Although this is the result..." Luo Jun touched his forehead: "But I always feel that something is wrong..."

"By the way, besides you, Master? Who else is there who would be willing to spend so much money to save me?" Luo Jun asked puzzledly.

Elder Yuan looked at him with a doubtful look in his eyes: "You and Ling Xin...were you really just ordinary classmates before?"

Luo Jun was stunned: "You mean, this thing was provided by Ling Xin?"

Elder Yuan nodded: "This is not an ordinary treasure. In order to save you, the girl spent a lot of money, so I want to ask you, I know everything about you and Ling Xin after Ningdong, in high school..."

Luo Jun shook his head: "I can count the number of times I have said anything to her on my hands. I remember that before graduation, I invited her to watch a movie, but she rejected me so straightforwardly..."

"Then your relationship is even colder than it is now?" Old Yuan touched his chin.

"As Luo Jun, I didn't have much contact with her. We only communicated more frequently in the past two months because of the black market, but we were just ordinary friends." Luo Jun analyzed: "But if I was Ye, I saved her life and had contacts with the Ling family. Do you think she would have guessed that I was Ye?"

"I have the same guess." Elder Yuan nodded. "Find an opportunity to test her indirectly and see how much she knows... I watched Ling Xin grow up. There must be no problem with her character. She is helping you so hard this time. She will definitely not harm you."

Luo Jun nodded: "Then how should I tell others about my return? Or did you rescue me?"

If everyone knew that a task that even Mr. Yuan failed at was finally solved perfectly by a freshman like him, it would be unbelievable no matter how you look at it.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Lao laughed proudly, "Tell the truth!"

"Ah?" Luo Jun was stunned. This was inconsistent with Mr. Yuan's guiding ideology.

"You kid, you have no idea what happened in the past two days!" Yuan Lao laughed and said, "Go to the forum and take a look. You are almost a national idol!"

"What?" Luo Jun picked up his phone doubtfully, opened the forum, and after browsing a few posts, his mouth became more and more open.

"Am I...so powerful?"

"You may not feel it clearly, but to be honest, thinking back on our time in the maze, if it weren't for you, no one, including me, would have gotten out alive. You really cracked this most difficult A-level mission in history."

Elder Yuan patted Luo Jun on the shoulder and said, "It's not so unacceptable for you to completely solve the hidden dangers in the mission."

"As for the final matrix, it is not surprising to say that it is the result of the joint efforts of countless predecessors who died in the maze. I have always hoped that you would hide and wait until you are strong enough before being known by the world, but now that your reputation has spread, you might as well take this opportunity to step forward and become a genius that attracts worldwide attention!"

"Then... Ye's identity..." Luo Jun asked tentatively.

"We still have to keep it secret..." Elder Yuan shook his head. "Luo Jun's achievements can be explained by intelligence, but Ye has shown his real strength. If people knew that Ye's true identity is a novice who has only been in contact with Yuan Qi for more than half a year, then everyone would guess that you are hiding an incredible secret, a divine relic, a treasure that even Yuhua would covet!"

At this point, Luo Jun became a little frustrated: "Why is it that the stronger you are, the more dangerous you become?"

Old Yuan smiled and shook his head: "The emperor may not care about a street rogue who insults him in the street, but for a frontier official with a large army, even if he looks loyal and respectful, the ruler will find it difficult to let down his guard."

"Okay, I understand..." Luo Jun sighed, then followed Mr. Yuan out of the practice room and returned to the conference room where everyone was waiting.

The moment they saw Luo Jun, Ling Xin, Zhuge Zi and Sun Xiaowei all stood up excitedly. However, Zhuge Lan at the side did not react much. She just frowned and looked him up and down. She felt that Luo Jun seemed familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen him before.

"You're out? Master Yuan rescued you?" Sun Xiaowei was the first to jump in front of Luo Jun, holding his face and looking around: "Let me take a look, is there anything missing?"

"It's okay, it's okay..." Luo Jun really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for. At this time, one hand grabbed Sun Xiaowei's wrist and slowly pulled her away.

"He just got out of the chaos mission and needs to rest..." Ling Xin's tone was a little cold, and even made Sun Xiaowei feel a little strange. They were just happily chatting just now...

"What method did Mr. Yuan use?" Zhuge Zi was a little curious about how Luo Jun got out.

"Nothing worked..." Elder Yuan laughed, "This kid came out on his own. I just used a treasure to lure him to Yuandu."

"You got out by yourself?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this: "You weren't trapped?"

"In fact, I was trapped..." Luo Jun said the words he had discussed with Yuan Lao: "At that time, Mao Xintong and Ma Qiao were actually replaced by chaotic creatures. The two of them attacked and injured Yuan Lao. I tried my best to send Yuan Lao out, but I didn't have the chance to get close to the exit. I could only run away with all my strength."

"Because I missed the chance to leave, the exit of the maze started to move randomly again. It was difficult for me to find the exit alone. I could only survive while exploring."

"Later, during my exploration, I gradually discovered the secret behind this maze. It turned out that the finger merchants we had always suspected were actually the reincarnations of our predecessors who had once been lost in the maze. Although they looked scary, they were actually our allies..."

Then, Luo Jun gave a brief account of the subsequent uncovering process, omitting the part involving his own force. He had been cooperating with the Thumb Merchant throughout the process, searching for various clues to decipher the code, and slowly found the "entrance" to the maze. Finally, with the help of many predecessors, he destroyed the "entrance" and successfully restored the maze to normal.

"You mean, you restored a mission that was distorted by the power of chaos to normal?" Everyone looked at Luo Jun in disbelief.

"That's right." Luo Jun nodded: "Maybe next month we'll see someone clear a normal endless maze!"

The meeting room fell into silence...

If being able to complete a task that no one has ever completed before is already a miracle, then completely reversing a contaminated task is simply a miracle!

And this miracle was actually accomplished by a seemingly ordinary student from the Explorer Academy?

This can truly be said to be, with a mortal body, standing on equal footing with gods!
"Now that Luo Jun is back, can we go back to Ningdong?" Ling Xin looked at Mr. Yuan, and then glanced casually at the Zhuge sisters and Sun Xiaowei.

"Well, you can go, but Luo Jun can't leave for now..." Elder Yuan shook his head. "He just came back, and the association still has a lot of things to confirm with him. Later, a formal official announcement will be issued to put an end to this matter."

As he spoke, he looked at the other people who came to help in the conference room: "Thank you all for coming all the way to Yuandu to help. Yuanxiu will give you gifts as a token of gratitude..."

After that, Elder Yuan winked at Ling Xin again and said, "By the way, Ling's girl, your brother just contacted me and has something to tell you. Come with me later."

Ling Xin understood what he meant and knew that Mr. Yuan wanted to return the wishing grass to him, so she nodded in agreement.

"The association wants to interrogate Luo?" Sun Xiaowei looked at Luo Jun: "They won't dissect him, will they?"

When she said this, everyone was shocked and turned to look at her: "How did you come up with such a strange question?"

"But, this kind of genius is rare, isn't it?" Sun Xiaowei pointed at Luo Jun and said, "In novels, this kind of genius will be captured by big organizations for research."

Zhuge Zi pulled her aside, and Zhuge Lan coughed and said, "Don't forget that you are at the headquarters of the big organization..."

“Hahahaha…” Old Yuan stroked his beard and laughed, “Don’t worry, it’s just a routine inquiry. After all, there is almost no information about the Endless Maze, and for the association, the experience of purifying polluted tasks is also extremely valuable. The association still wants to ask for more information. Besides, with me here, no one will embarrass him.”

After hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved.

Just then, the door to the conference room opened and a young girl walked in. It was Mulanshi, a Class B clerk.

"Mr. Yuan..." Mulanshi nodded and saluted: "Just now the president ordered to meet Luo Jun..."

"What?!" As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shouzhen was stunned on the spot...
