Above Destiny

Chapter 431 Brother, do you want a plate?

On the night of the water ghost attack, Lu Yingyue's message came just after dawn.

After getting Ji Jue's reply, he told him directly: [In two days, someone should go to Quancheng, you can receive them. You don't have to do anything else, just try your best to cooperate. ]

A simple message made Ji Jue smell something strange.

I don’t know how it is with other people, but when communicating with Ji Jue, perhaps because of Ye Xian, Lu Yingyue rarely uses this kind of demanding imperative sentences.

Even if there was something that Ji Jue needed to do, he would at least explain the cause and effect, and it would not be so brief and straightforward.

Unless she thought that the matter involved something that should not be known to others.

At the same time, I don’t want Ji Jue to ask too many questions.

In response, Ji Jue simply replied: [I will be ready. ]

As if she realized that Ji Jue understood what she meant, Lu Yingyue’s last message contained a hint of praise: [Very good].

They didn't talk about it any more in the following time.

It was not until this morning that a strange number called Ji Jue's private phone and told him that it was someone introduced by Lu Zhenshou, who would arrive at three o'clock in the afternoon and politely made an appointment for him.

In response to this, Ji Jue naturally expressed his full cooperation.

At this moment, even though there were still five minutes left before the agreed time, someone was already waiting at the door.

However, the appearance was beyond Ji Jue's expectations.

The man, who was about thirty years old, looked like a programmer from the city. He was wearing a plaid shirt and overalls that looked out of place in the wilderness, and he carried a backpack on his back.

He didn't look like a messenger, but more like a tourist traveling in a big city.

"Mr. Ji, nice to meet you. I have admired you for a long time."

He took the initiative to introduce himself and smiled: "My last name is Chen, Chen Haiqiu, just call me Xiao Chen."

"You're so welcome, Mr. Chen."

Ji Jue shook hands without hesitation and responded: "Please come in, the resting place is ready, please follow me."

In order to welcome this important guest with an ominous background, Ji Jue also accelerated the reconstruction of Xinquan Hotel. The guest rooms have been cleaned up and it is ensured that there are no Haizhou specialty twin ponytails.

Although it cannot be called luxurious as to make you feel at home, in the wilderness, the cleanliness and tidiness are already considered five-star.

"What a pity. I have a flight scheduled tonight from Chaocheng back to Central City, so I can't stay long." Chen Haiqiu waved his hand: "It's nothing big, no need to make a fuss. Please find a place for Mr. Ji to sit for a while."

In that case, Ji Jue took him directly to the Coast Industrial Park and his office.

After exchanging pleasantries along the way, Ji Jue asked while preparing tea, "I don't think I've seen you in the Security Bureau?"

Ji Jue had basically met all the middle and high-level security officials in the two large central cities of Haizhou, Yacheng and Chaocheng, and at least had an impression of them.

But there was no record of the guest in front of him.

But he happened to be wearing a badge of Chaocheng Security Bureau, which made Ji Jue a little alert.

"Well, I belong to another department, also under the command of Lu Zhenshou, and I have a lot of cooperation with the Security Bureau. When I go out, the Security Bureau's documents are much more convenient."

Chen Haiqiu took off his badge with a smile, but did not introduce his affiliated organization in detail. After taking the teacup handed to him by Ji Jue, he politely took a sip and put it down.

Next, it’s time to get down to business.

"Please rest assured that this is not an audit or inspection, but just an understanding of the situation. You can relax a little."

Ji Jue suddenly became more serious - after all, everyone knew that the other party would not believe it when you said this, and there was a high possibility that there was some trick going on.

Seeing that his words seemed to have the opposite effect, Chen Haiqiu smiled helplessly, took out a pen and paper, and said bluntly: "I came here this time mainly to deal with a few things.

First of all, can you tell me in detail what happened a few days ago? Well, I mean the details of what happened before and after the pirates from the Thousand Islands came to Xinquan to harass us. "

Ji Jue naturally would not hide anything about this.

Although some unimportant things were omitted, some things that could not be said were removed, and his own majestic image and operations were beautified, at least 60% of it is still true.

Unexpectedly, Chen Haiqiu did not delve into or question the details regarding Huangji and the Northern Territory. Basically, he just remembered whatever Ji Jue said throughout the article.

Instead, he asked questions repeatedly mainly when it came to another Chaoba who came to launch a sneak attack. However, Ji Jue also had a video prepared for this, so there was nothing to hide.

After learning the specific details and requesting a copy of the relevant video, he put down his pen and paper.

"Besides that, do you have anything else to add?"

Chen Haiqiu put his hands on the table, looked at Ji Jue, and suddenly smiled.

"what?"

Ji Jue seemed surprised, "Is there anything else that hasn't been made clear?"

"Would you please think about it carefully?"

Chen Haiqiu reminded him tirelessly: "Is there any testimony or other...anything...remains?"

"Oh, oh, oh, look at my memory. I tend to forget things when I'm busy."

Ji Jue slapped his forehead, as if he finally remembered something, and pulled out a box from under the table and pushed it over: "The one who came to the An family at that time did bring back some things.

Look, is this it?"

After the box was opened, the cold air spread out, and the frozen remains appeared in front of Chen Haiqiu. Suddenly, a faint stench of sulfur spread out...

For a moment, the polite smile on Chen Haiqiu's face froze.

It was as if my whole body tensed up subconsciously.

His eyes were sharp, as if facing a formidable enemy.

But soon, after making sure it was harmless, he relaxed again.

"That's exactly it, that's right."

He moved closer, examined it carefully, and nodded repeatedly, but gradually a trace of doubt emerged: "But... why is the aura so much weaker?"

In the box in front of Chen Haiqiu at this moment, the broken arm was still emitting a pungent smell, and sparks were rising faintly from the broken scars.

However, the evil spiritual essence that once almost filled it had become much dimmer, as if it was there and not there.

Become superficial.

It's like, only an empty shell is left.

"I don't know."

Ji Jue also shook his head in confusion, with a confused look on his face, with the simplicity and innocence unique to the wilderness: "Maybe it's been too long since the time interval, so it evaporated?"

As he said this, he sighed with regret: "I have tried my best to preserve it, but unfortunately, the association does not have the technology and accumulation in this area. Compared with Yousui, it is still far behind.

Otherwise, we can do better.”

"..."

Chen Haiqiu seemed to be hesitant to speak, his expression becoming more and more complicated.

No, buddy, do you really think I'm blind?
Why are you pretending to be a pure little lamb in front of me?
Let’s not talk about what Ye Xian’s relationship with Jian Yuan was before he scored, and I won’t mention what you used to beat Pacquiao, but when you participated in the Desert Sea Rally before, you almost gave up acting!

Who do you think helped you work overtime to clean up Kunwu?

“…Is that so?”

Chen Haiqiu was wiping the sweat off his face, he was almost unable to hold it anymore.

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

Ji Jue nodded decisively, without hesitation, and said solemnly: "The craftsmen in our association have always upheld the highest virtues, rejected evil and stupidity, and have always been sworn enemies of Yousui. How could they have anything to do with Zhifu?!"

Chen Haiqiu sighed, glanced at Ji Jue, and suddenly understood vaguely why Lu Yingyue thought so highly of him. Not to mention his abilities and talents, his thick skin and ability to lie with open eyes were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I will never catch up in this lifetime.

Fortunately, I came here well prepared, otherwise I don’t know how embarrassed I would be.

Follow the process quickly, otherwise your blood pressure will be out of control.

"In order to preserve the specimen for archiving, I need to take this thing away. However, it is not easy for me to take such an important trophy for nothing."

As he spoke, he picked up the backpack at his feet, and like magic, he pulled out two aluminum suitcases from it and placed them in front of Ji Jue.

Simple, crude and straightforward.

I never thought about asking for a high price and then paying it back, or the bargaining process where you and I haggle over the price.

This kind of expenditure, even if you save it, has nothing to do with you.

But if you give it out, you'll earn a favor... Why not help others to achieve their goal?
"Before I came, Guard Lu told me that you were looking for some things outside recently. It just so happens that we still have quite a lot of stock in the warehouse. Please take a look and see if it is suitable."

"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing. Oh, oh...oh..."

Ji Jue was being polite and looked embarrassed, but his hands had already fluently touched the box and opened it right in front of him.

Then, silence fell.

The box on the left was filled to the brim with the association's standard storage containers of various colors, so heavy that an adult man couldn't lift it with one hand.

All of them were materials that Ji Jue had placed orders and collected on various platforms such as Huangji, Taiyi Ring and Tianping Chamber of Commerce in recent days. Not only that, in order to confuse the public and conceal the materials needed by Pan Ying and Chun Jun, Ji Jue also mixed in a large number of unconventional materials and precious materials and even consumables that craftsmen usually use.

Naturally, there is not much response, and even if there is, it is still in the wrangling stage.

After all, high-end materials are always in short supply. Before Ji Jue, there were countless orders that had been pending for many years. If you wanted to make a deal, not to mention it was impossible to get a bargain, the premium would often be extremely high... Even so, it still depended on luck.

As a result, Chen Haiqiu directly prescribed the medicine and brought them all to Ji Jue.

Even super doubled.

As for the quality, there is no need to say more.

Most of the materials needed for the tempering of Panying and the casting of Chunjun were gathered together at once, and there were still a lot left. As for the rest, Ji Jue's workshop had already prepared them.

You can start preparing immediately.

The other box seemed a little empty, with only one thing in it.

The fist-sized pink crystals look like amber. They are natural salt crystals that are aggregated and transformed from the earth's veins. They are very valuable and rare in the world.

Although it is not very useful, its greatest effect is that it can absolutely guarantee the stability of the spiritual essence inside for a thousand years after the spiritual essence is injected, thereby storing high-level blessings without loss.

And now, at this moment, above the salt crystals, layers of fine golden threads were like a net, blocking the inside and outside. The bright light flowing inside like stars radiated faintly, illuminating Ji Jue's eyes.

That is the last and most crucial existence in Chunjun’s chain of blessings, the rarest and most difficult to find.

The legendary blessing of the transformation series...

——【Transformation from dragon to leopard】!
Its effect is very simple, it is almost like rebirth, reshaping the soul!

After the Chosen Ones of the Ascension Series have accumulated enough and gained sufficient insights, they will help the souls of the Chosen Ones break through the final barriers and past limitations, just like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, completing a unique qualitative change.

At that time, no matter how tragic the old wounds and curses were, they could be gotten rid of, and the reshaped soul could even leave the body, remain alone, and wander the world.

Even with many blessings, you can even think of Canghai and Cangwu with just one thought.

Only such a blessing can integrate the many things in Chunjun, take the swordsmith's own spiritual essence as the source, and sublimate a unique spirituality.

made money!

Make a lot of money!
This deal is so good that it is beyond description as generous, it is almost free.

Even though the spiritual essence in that arm is so strange, it is not worth such a huge value.

No wonder An Neng specifically reminded Ji Jue before leaving not to waste it and to ask for a high price.

As a result, Ji Jue was almost confused by the fragrance before he even opened his mouth.

Even if the lion doesn't open its mouth, it can't stop you from stuffing things into it!
You should have told me earlier!

If I had told you earlier, I wouldn't have given you so much. At least, well, I would have left you one third!

Ji Jue could hardly suppress the curve of his lips.

After looking away with difficulty, he let out a silent sigh.

Now, of the five blessings that Chunjun needs, [Transcendent Vision], [Sudden Inspiration], [Return to the True Self], [Seeing the Simple and Embracing the Innocent], [Dragon Soaring and Leopard Transformation], four have already been obtained.
As for the remaining [Jian Su Bao Pu], the Tong family has received news just a few days ago and they are doing their best to take it down.

In the inheritance of the Nine Types, this blessing chain is called [Superb], which combines the spirit of transformation and the change of phenomena, and finally catalyzes qualitative change, reaching the state of perfection, creating the spirituality and extension that belongs to the swordsmith himself almost out of nothing. Even if it has been registered in the association, the mystery and secrets have never been passed down, and it belongs to the unique skills of the Ye family.

After Chunjun was cast, and Ji Jue used his spiritual essence to sharpen two different nine-type swords, Jing Zhen could begin his practice.

A crucial piece of the puzzle was completed in an unexpected place.

In addition to being surprised, Ji Jue felt wary and uneasy about this.

After all, he really didn't think that a mere piece of limb was worth such a huge price.

Before that, you need to ask clearly.

"I'm afraid this small specimen is not worth the price, right?"

Ji Jue shook his head and asked, "I'm really afraid I can't afford to eat the cake that fell from the sky."

"Please rest assured, I am just an errand boy and I don't have that much authority. The blessing of the dragon-like transformation was specially requested for you by Lu Zhenshou.

Besides, although our department is difficult to publicize and has many problems and shortcomings, at least the budget is sufficient and people will not be wasted. "

Chen Haiqiu laughed. "However, you are right about one thing - this time, in addition to collecting records and recovering specimens and other remnants, there are indeed some other small things I would like to trouble you with."

As he spoke, he reached out again, took out a black plastic box from his backpack, and pushed it towards Ji Jue.

It looked like the box used to hold DVDs in a video rental store, and it felt even more like one in the hand. When Ji Jue opened it and saw the disc inside, he completely lost control of himself.

There are no traces of alchemical creation, let alone blessing.

It's just a simple CD.

He looked up dully.

Dude, what are you doing?
Are you going to Xinquan to sell your property?
"It can be predicted that the population of Xinquan will continue to increase in the coming period of time. In a few months, it may exceed 50,000.

In order to avoid any accidents, I brought the things here in advance. "

Chen Haiqiu's request was simple: "I hope that you can use your influence to play it a few times a day in Xinquan and other settlements over the next period of time. Of course, it would be even better if you could use some of it to record your product."

Play a DVD?
Ji Jue was confused. He picked up the CD and looked at it, asking for advice: "Mind if I..."

Chen Haiqiu shook his head: "It's okay, please feel free to do as you please."

Soon, a player was delivered to Ji Jue's office. After it was turned on, the disc was inserted and it could be read directly by the mechanical deus ex machina without playing.

The information recorded in it emerged in Ji Jue's consciousness.

Unexpectedly, there were just a few simple and familiar piano pieces, many of which were not even pieces of music, but just a few fragments, including the melody before each opening and closing of the mall, the sound of the electronic door pushing, the welcome greeting, and the beeping reminder sound of the machine starting.

It's all-encompassing and there's nothing unusual about it.

It was so ordinary that Ji Jue couldn’t figure it out even after scratching his head. He couldn’t understand: “Just play it every day?”

"Ah."

Chen Haiqiu nodded decisively: "If it's too troublesome, you can do it every few days. Of course, it doesn't matter if you copy or digitize it. It's just an ordinary disc. You don't have to be too cautious."

But if it was an ordinary disc, why should it be presented to Ji Jue so solemnly?
Moreover, he gave Ji Jue such a valuable gift to make him treat it with caution.

Yet, no explanation was given at all.

There is really no way to gain trust.

After recalling Lu Yingyue's previous instructions to try his best to cooperate, Ji Jue had nothing to say. It was impossible for him to eat and take other people's things and do nothing at all.

Just play some music.

However, if it's just playing some music... you should not mind if I ask others about it, right?

Ji Jue put down the disc and nodded decisively.

"no problem."

"Then my main task is completed. Happy cooperation."

Chen Haiqiu smiled, stood up, and shook hands with Ji Jue. However, before saying goodbye, he suddenly asked, "We still have some time. Before I leave, would you mind being my guide and walking with me for a while?"

"Happy to accompany you."

Ji Jue smiled and nodded without hesitation.

By the way, he sent a message to Isis to keep the door of the underground factory closed, so as not to let outsiders accidentally see the process of "starting a new life".

It would have a very bad impact if this got out, making our place seem like a sweatshop or a shady workshop.

"Where do you want to go?" he asked casually.

But unexpectedly, Chen Haiqiu's gaze was looking out the window, far away, and even further away.

Falling in the ruined city that stood silently in the drizzle.

He said, "Quancheng."
