Above Destiny

Chapter 231 Pull the Line, I'll Run
There are many classifications in modern alchemy.

Although it has a relatively short history compared to the thousands of years of history of many family clans, it has become mainstream because it stands on the basis of ancient alchemy and opens up a new path and direction. It not only unifies the standards and measures, but also makes it easier for successors to enter the hall. At the same time, its openness and inclusiveness far surpass those of ancient alchemy.

Over hundreds of years of development, it has absorbed the essence of many ancient alchemies, and after refining them and integrating them, it has developed more than a dozen classifications and disciplines based on the four foundations of ascension, purification, transformation, and integration.

Life science is undoubtedly one of the major categories. It is inextricably linked to the vortex system, and at the same time, it is also inseparable from the popular pharmacy.

As an apprentice, Ji Jue naturally couldn't say that he was proficient in such a difficult and profound subject. In fact, even if he relied on the mechanical deity's storm inhalation to cheat, his current level could only be said to be entry-level.

In terms of level, it is not enough to turn the dead into the living, but it is very good at accidentally turning the living into the dead.

Because of this, the making of the "human skin mask" appears more horrifying and tragic.

It’s just like when you go shopping, you can’t always expect it to be fast, effective, and cheap as if it were free.

There are always trade-offs.

That’s why such an embarrassing situation occurred.

If one wants to avoid any loss and keep the disguise as realistic as possible, then a living transplant must be performed. With a bone knife, that is naturally a piece of cake.

The time was too short, so it seems understandable that this layer of painted skin was not pasted firmly enough?
However, the person on the other side didn't seem to be prepared to forgive.

Then there's no way……

Before bending down to pick up the mask, Ji Jue stabbed the last Flowing Light Blade into her stomach. Under the effect of [Harmony with the Light and Dust], she could no longer move and could not even make a sound.

Then, the Mercy Bone Knife pierced in, separating the body and soul.

All of them crashed.

Since he had been exposed, Ji Jue simply stopped disguising himself. He took off the two pieces of his face and threw them aside. Then he took out the ugly face soaked in solution from the bottle in his arms and put it back on his own face.

“Original products are still the best!”

The ten fingers of both hands slid across the seams to connect the flesh and blood, and then the mouth of the ancient took effect under the infusion of spiritual essence and restored its original function, at least 70% to 80%.

As for seeming uglier...it doesn't matter!
Ugly is ugly.

I went back to see Lao Zhang for treatment and was able to restore the factory settings.

In comparison, the wounds on his broken legs were the most troublesome. Without the assistance of the mercury exoskeleton, walking would be difficult.

After doing all this, Ji Jue continued to move forward slowly, strolling through the precious material storage room, and couldn't help but be amazed.

"He is the master of the Deep World after all, awesome."

Ji Jue sighed and admired the collections one by one.

A natural wasteland blessed metal as big as two people, containing natural blessings, stone marrow crystals as big as Ji Jue's two heads, and a mutated object that was shackled and frozen in the box and could not break free...

The items displayed on almost every grid and display shelf were enough to make his dark thoughts surge. He wanted to do two more ruthless things, or just shake hands with the president and spend some time to rob this place...

Well, if I can escape alive by then.

According to the bald woman, this is actually just a second-level item storage room, and the truly precious materials are basically all in Jianyuan's own private domain.

And what is saved here is only a small part of the recently collected and unclassified ones...

Isn't that too rich?
Ji Jue didn't dare to look at it any longer as he kept going back and forth between inhaling cold air and exhaling hot breath. If he continued to look at it, his mentality would collapse.

But soon, the most important goal of this trip appeared before his eyes.

Then, he felt... completely suffocated.

"What the hell? What the hell?"

Ji Jue’s eyes went dark, he couldn’t believe it.

He now finally understood why Lou Feng was so sure that his aunt was still alive - the life-saving skills developed from the Lou family's secret spiritual skills based on spiritual shaping.

When they sense that they are doomed to die or in danger, the Chosen One will perform the final spiritual shaping - [Death Lock]. At that time, the spiritual crystal will wrap the user's body and soul like a coffin, hardening to the limit and becoming indestructible.

It's like wearing a turtle shell, leaving the opponent with no way to attack.

As for whether you will be dragged back and slowly tortured, and then killed after drilling, that is another matter. At least you can still survive for a while, right?

Facing Jianyuan's attack, Lou Feng's aunt Lou Yanyue used the most thorough deadlock method on herself at the last moment.

After reaching the rebirth stage, the spiritual essence has the property of existing with the master. As long as Lou Yanyue is not dead, it will not dissipate. As long as Lou Yanyue is not dead, the spiritual essence will continuously strengthen the outer crystal blockade.

If one wanted to kill her, one would have to simply drain away all of her spiritual essence, causing her soul to collapse and disintegrate on its own, and to some extent, completely eliminate her possibility of being used as material.

I guess Jianyuan also planned to keep it, and when he had time, he would teach her how to be self-aware in making materials.

It’s a pity that he probably won’t have the chance.

Ji Jue, on the other hand, began to doubt his life.

"aunt?"

Ji Jue came closer, staring at the incomplete outline sealed in the spiritual crystal: "You're telling me this is your aunt?!"

Locked and frozen by the spiritual crystals, the body still bore horrible wounds, both legs were severed at the root, and only one arm was left.

Even his face was cut by the blade, his eyes were shattered, and his pretty face became ugly and hideous, no less than Ji Jue's current ghostly appearance.

But the problem is, she, she...she seems to be underage!!! "Sixteen? No, fourteen... thirteen..."

Ji Jue narrowed his eyes and moved closer, almost triggering the alarm, and repeatedly judged - this kid can only be fourteen years old! There is no way he can be any taller!

Rebirth at the age of fourteen?!
It's not like you're practicing the wrong magic and becoming younger, right?

Ji Jue took a deep breath of cold air, and then another, and another, wishing he could drain all of Jianyuan's central air conditioning.

After all, it's a big family with a really rich foundation, but the generational structure is really messy!
Lou Feng’s grandfather is really strong and healthy... and he gave birth to a daughter who is younger than his grandson?

No wonder Lou Feng always has a complicated look on his face every time he mentions his aunt. If he had an aunt who was seven or eight years younger than him, and was already the backbone of the Chaocheng Security Bureau at a young age, a master of masters among masters, he would probably be living a life worse than death!
There is no time for sighing and lamenting.

Time waits for me.

Ji Jue moved quickly, stroking the shelf with both hands, feeling the spiritual circuits in it, carefully reading and analyzing, dissociation technique, in a flash...

Through the outer layer of spiritual structure, Feigong's spiritual hand penetrates deep into it, accurately destroying the identification sequence and related modules.

I have five minutes before the alarm sequence self-checks and sounds.

He took out the "Auntie Detector" made by Lou Feng from his pocket and directly pressed it against Lou Yanyue's spiritual crystal. In an instant, the two spiritual crystals collided with each other, becoming one, and merged into one with a faint sound.

Ectoplasm itself is a carrier of information, not to mention that Lou has another set of methods of communication.

In order to avoid hindering Ji Jue and causing trouble, Lou Feng's spiritual essence crystal not only stores his own unique spiritual essence fluctuation identification, but also the deadlock unblocking procedure, and even the relevant situation explanation and Ji Jue's identity.

During the brief silence, Ji Jue suddenly saw that the incomplete body in the spiritual crystal seemed to twitch slightly for a moment.

Woke up from a long dream.

He absorbed the news from his eldest nephew and quickly understood the reality.

As the deadlock slowly crumbled, the spiritual essence vibrated the air, making a hoarse and vague sound.

"...Ji Jue?"

The vague hand shaped by spiritual essence passed over his face, caressing and exploring, and soon understood: "A Feng, that kid, is really doing well... Are you his friend?"

"Yes, we are very good friends, the kind that trust each other with their lives and backs!" Ji Jue answered decisively: "Don't look at my youth, he calls me Brother Ji when he sees me, and he asked me for an autographed photo. He went back and burned incense for me, and kowtowed three times every morning and evening. He has not stopped for two years. What's wrong, don't you know?"

A faint laugh emerged from the vague voice.

"That's not what he said about you."

"As for a tsundere, you can't just listen to what he says, his body is always very honest!"

"really."

Lou Yanyue, who was in a deadlock, thought for a moment and agreed: "Among all the younger generations in the family, he cries the longest after being punched."

“Your family culture is also very interesting.”

Ji Jue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. His hands kept moving during the greetings - sneaking into a craftsman's workshop and modifying the authority and rules set by him from the inside was still too difficult for Ji Jue.

The only way is to use dissociation to roughly destroy the key parts and delay time in vain.

He kept moving.

He ran back and forth, sorting the large and small bombs tied under the black robe and installing them in place.

"How are you? Are you ready?"

Ji Jue finally asked, "We are running out of time."

In the gradually dissolving deadlock, there was still the last layer of frozen body, the crystal that maintained life. Ji Jue held it up, and felt it was soft and so light.

It's not as heavy as I imagined.

"How much longer?"

Lou Yanyue took the time to recover his spirit.

"5..."

Ji Jue looked at his watch and without waiting for Lou Yanyue to speak, he added: "4..."

"Hey, you kid!"

Lou Yanyue couldn't help laughing out loud anymore.

And as the countdown ended... an unprecedented chain explosion broke out from the corridor, floor and even the ceiling of the first floor, and flames gushed out, engulfing everything.

boom! !

Amid the violent shaking and chaos, Ji Jue stuffed her into a box, carried her on his back, and ran wildly.

Blending into the terrified crowd outside.

Three minutes later, explosions were heard again at the entrance and exit. Amid the roar, trucks waiting to be loaded turned on their lights and broke through the doors without any human control.

They rushed away one after another.

Disappearing parties.
