Superbase Evolution

Chapter 676: Leaving the Nest

As Tianxun expected, An Yi did not refuse to see him, but she really did not see him.

An An family member named An Zhixue received Lin Shen. An Zhixue was polite, and his words and actions were quite gentlemanly. When he spoke to Lin Shen, people did not feel neglectful or hostile, as if he was receiving an ordinary guest.

An Zhixue told Lin Shen that Dean An Yi was busy with official duties and could not spare time to meet Lin Shen.

However, Dean An Yi already knew the purpose of Lin Shen's visit, so he asked An Zhixue to take Lin Shen to Gou Li's nest, and let him go to get the dark domain lotus seeds by himself.

Lin Shen couldn't help but frown after hearing this. The reason why Gouli's Nest can store dark domain lotus seeds is because it is an extremely special place.

According to Emperor Tianshu, the location where the An family's first mansion was built was originally the nest of an immortal creature.

The Gouli Nest was originally the place where the immortal creature gave birth to its offspring. There was a special energy surging inside. Ordinary people who entered the Gouli Nest would easily be corroded by that special energy and their bodies would be infected with a strange disease.

For people infected with that strange disease, the hardness of their bones will increase abnormally, but their toughness will decrease.

The result is that the patient's bones will become as hard and brittle as glass. If he falls, all the bones in his body will be shattered, making it almost impossible for him to fight again.

Not to mention fighting, even walking requires caution. If you accidentally fall, you might die.

The closer you are to the storage location of the Dark Domain Lotus Seeds, the stronger that special energy will be, and the more serious the erosion of your body will be.

Unless one has the ability to resist special energy, there is a possibility that one will turn into a glass man when retrieving the dark realm lotus seeds.

Emperor Tianshu had warned Lin Shen that that special energy was very special and ordinary Nirvana power had no effect on it. Among all the currently known attributes, only the Nirvana attribute that An Yi possessed could resist the erosion of that special energy.

In other words, the only person who can enter Gouli's nest and take out the dark domain lotus seeds is An Yi.

Now An Yi didn't say that he would not give him the Dark Domain Lotus Seeds, but he wanted Lin Shen to go to Gou Li's nest to get them himself. This was no different from not giving them to him.

An Yi's attitude is already very clear. If you have the ability, you can take it. If you don't have the ability, the Dark Domain Lotus Seed will have to stay in the An family's first mansion.

"Brother An, can I meet Dean An Yi?" Lin Shen looked at An Zhixue and asked.

"Dean Tian, you can just call me by my name. I am just a housekeeper, and I don't deserve to be called dean." An Zhixue said in embarrassment, "Now is a troubled time. Many planets on the border of our clan are in constant friction with other clans. In order to solve these problems, my master has not returned home for many days. It is really difficult for him to come to see you, Dean Tian. I hope Dean Tian will forgive me."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Even though Lin Shen knew that the An family was making things difficult for him, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't even vent his anger.

He would rather meet someone like Anjiahe, who would come up and beat him up, so that Lin Shen could raise his hand and slap him in the face.

People like An Zhixue make people feel powerless.

Lin Shen's mind was moved: "Dean Tianyi is busy with official duties, so I can't disturb him, but for such an important matter, I still need to inform him. I wonder if I can meet Master An?"

"Dean Tian, I'm so sorry. My son was seriously injured and has not recovered. He went to a foreign planet to treat his injuries. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in the next few days, so I can't personally receive you." An Zhixue blocked Lin Shen's way with just one sentence. Lin Shen sighed softly: "In that case, I'll come visit you another day."

An Zhixue smiled bitterly and said, "Dean Tian, you absolutely cannot do that. My master has told us that we dare not keep such precious things in the mansion any longer. If anything goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility. The master has repeatedly reminded us that if you come, you must let Dean Tian take the things away. Our mansion really cannot keep them any longer. If it is really inconvenient for Dean Tian to take the Dark Realm Lotus Seeds away and you want to keep them here, you have to write a disclaimer. If there is any problem with the Dark Realm Lotus Seeds, we really can't afford to pay for it. Please understand the discomfort of us servants, Dean Tian."

Lin Shen thought: "This means that if I don't take the Dark Realm Lotus Seeds away today, they will swallow them themselves."

"Lead the way." Lin Shen knew that since he was here today, he would have to take away the Dark Domain Lotus Seeds.

An Yi wanted to make things difficult for him, but Lin Shen refused to do as he wished.

If An Yi gets an immortal creature to guard there, Lin Shen really has no way to deal with it, but that special energy can make people sick. It sounds similar to viruses. The theory of evolution is the most effective way to deal with this kind of thing.

An Zhixue brought Lin Shen to a courtyard in the backyard of the An family's first mansion, where there was a huge tomb more than ten meters high.

"Is this Gouli's nest?" No matter how Lin Shen looked at it, it looked like a big grave.

"That's right." An Zhixue smiled and nodded.

"Are you sure this isn't a grave?" Lin Shen even saw a huge stone tablet several meters high on one side of Gouli's nest. No matter how you looked at it, that thing looked like a tombstone.

"How could it be a grave? This is Gouli's nest. If you don't believe me, look at the stele." An Zhixue said, pointing at the stele.

Lin Shen looked at the stone tablet and saw that the two largest characters on it were "Gou Li", followed by many smaller characters.

Lin Shen took a closer look and found that it was an article encouraging learning.

The general meaning is that you should start learning early and not slack off, etc. These are all old-fashioned things and are not very interesting to read.

An Zhixue explained, "Gouli is the name of the first son of the first master of the An family. Gouli was very playful and naughty when he was young, almost to the point of being hated by people and ghosts. The master of An Yi Mansion at that time engraved this article of encouragement to study and Gouli's name here to warn the descendants of An Yi Mansion to study hard and not to play around."

"Is it useful to persuade children to study like this?" Lin Shen thought this was bullshit. If we just persuade them like this and carve down the text to persuade them to study, will the children listen?
"It's useful. Very useful." An Zhixue's answer was beyond Lin Shen's expectations.

An Zhixue said seriously, "The owner of An Yi Mansion threw Gou Li into the Gou Li den and brought him out several days later. By then, Gou Li had become a glass man. Any collision would cause him to have comminuted fractures. Not long after, his legs and hands were already lame. The other children became very well behaved when they saw Gou Li's appearance, and they all loved to study."

Lin Shen was stunned after hearing this, and after a while he said, "The owner of An Yi Mansion is really a person who understands education. With this kind of education method, I'm sure no other children will dare to disobey."

"That may not be the case. There will always be some mavericks who ignore the lessons of their predecessors." An Zhixue said lightly.

"Zhixue, are you talking about me?" Lin Shen heard the hidden meaning of An Zhixue's words, but remained calm.
