Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 144: Experiments that Made No Progress

When Lu Chen returned to Panxing Sect, he checked the time. It didn't take long from the departure to the return. Because although Japan is said to be small, it is actually not big at all.

The curse spirit landed at the gate of Panxing Sect, and Lu Chen first went to say hello to his old friend Kong Shiyu.

He saw Lu Chen push the door open and asked, "Why are you here all of a sudden? Aren't you doing any missions lately?"

Lu Chen pulled open the chair next to him and sat on it, answering, "Well, I've been working for the headmaster lately. It's quite lucrative. Is there anything interesting going on lately?"

"There's nothing conscious about it. Our line of work is very boring."

"What is the world of spellcasting doing?" Lu Chen thought he could get some information from the broker.

"Well, apart from the bounty for cursed spirits, there are also bounties for sorcerers, which are nothing special. There seemed to be some trouble at the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Spells a few days ago, but it was quickly suppressed. I just got a new mission these two days, and the reward is very generous. How about it? Are you interested?" Kong Shiyu asked after lighting a cigarette.

Hearing his recommendation, Lu Chen became interested and asked, "What kind of commission is it? Why would you personally recommend it?"

Kong Shiyu took a deep breath before answering, "Killed a sorcerer, Fushiguro Megumi."

Lu Chen asked with great interest: "Fushiguro Shier's son, you even recommended this kind of mission to me. Aren't you friends with his father?"

"For those of us who live in the shadows, work is work. It's not tied up in personal feelings."

Lu Chen suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "So is there a bounty for me on the website?"

"Not yet. If you want to have that, you'll have to do more disgusting things. After all, you have to make people willing to pay to kill you."

Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "It seems that I am not annoying enough."

Kong Shiyu decided to break Lu Chen's complacency.

"It could also be because you're completely unknown and have virtually no connection to the world of spellcasting. You've been working for the Bankei Cult all this time, so no one's offering a bounty on you."

Lu Chen didn't care about his sharp tongue: "Is there any information about the Curse King?" Sukuna has definitely been resurrected.

"How could we possibly have such news? The Curse King is not something we can grasp."

"That's it then, one last question. Who has the highest bounty?"

"Of course it's Gojo Satoru. Killing him will net me hundreds of millions. Any ideas?"

"It seems he is quite valuable."

After chatting with the broker for a while, Lu Chen walked through the magnificent gates of the Panxing Sect. This trip wasn't completely fruitless. At least the bounty on Fushiguro Megumi's head was most likely the work of the Zenin family. They all probably wanted to become the head of the family. Zenin Naoya, Zenin Osamu, and the like.

The turmoil at the Tokyo Metropolitan Jutsu High School was probably related to Kinji Hyō. Lu Chen didn't remember it clearly. He just remembered that he seemed to have clashed with the conservatives during this period.

Walking to a place that looked like a laboratory, Lu Chen knocked on the door. After a while, Xia Yujie came out with a worried look on his face.

Lu Chen took out the spoils of his trip and handed them to Geto Xia Yu.

"This trip wasn't easy at all. I encountered two top-tier curse spirits that could use their domains." As for the first curse spirit, it was too easy for Lu Chen to include. "The price of the black rope isn't cheap at all, and the two curse spirits are worth it."

Although Xia Youjie spoke these words in a very calm tone, it was obvious that he still underestimated Lu Chen's strength. Being able to kill two special-grade cursed spirits in the field without being seriously injured was a testament to Lu Chen's strength. Even though he had used the reversal technique to heal himself in the end.

"That's true. The black rope might be able to break Gojo Satoru's limitless power. With something like this, we can challenge the strongest."

Geto Summer Oil shook his head and said, "It won't have much effect. Satoru didn't become the strongest just by having no bottom line."

"I know, but a black rope is also a good thing. Why do you want a Sukuna finger? It's probably useless to you, right? It will only attract the attention of the noose."

Geto Suguru thought about it and decided not to hide the matter: "Gojo Satoru entrusted me with this. All the Sukuna fingers of the Jujutsu High School were stolen. And I have been in his sight for a long time, right?"

Lu Chen nodded and agreed with this idea: "That's true, you have been in his sight for a long time. Gojo Satoru actually wants a Sukuna Finger."

After saying this, Lu Chen smiled. He didn't know what Gojo Satoru would do with this thing. Was he already afraid before he even fought Sukuna?
"Remember that descendant of Sugawara no Michizane? Gojo Satoru prepared it for him. He asked Gojo Satoru for a finger."

Lu Chen nodded. He remembered the manga showing Rika eating Sukuna's finger. So was this a precaution taken by Yuta Otsutsuki? He wondered if Rika would be able to digest the Sukuna finger she ate. She was the Curse Queen.

Lu Chen said perfunctorily: "It seems that he is quite powerful. He can even use this level of spells."

Xia Yujie said in a teasing tone: "He is the fourth special grade recently evaluated. How about you go and evaluate it?" He still remembered that Lu Chen also wanted to give birth to a finger, and he didn't know what he was going to do with this thing.

"There's no need. You're not so strong just because you're a special-grade person." A special-grade status is earned by possessing special-grade strength. Therefore, the rating is completely useless to Lu Chen.

Besides, shouldn't Geto Suguru consider himself an illegal organization? How could a trip to the Jujutsu High School change his dreams?

Geto Summer Oil took back the Sukuna fingers in his hand,
"How's the experimental research on how to prevent people from producing cursed energy going?"

"It's not ideal. Kujukuyuki and I think we need to study it for a while longer."

"Anyway, there's no rush for you two. All these years have passed, so there's no need to rush."

"You're right, there's really nothing to be impatient about."

Lu Chen suddenly remembered the protagonist's situation, so he asked, "How's the investigation into Sukuna's container going? Did you get hold of it?"

Xia Yujie shook his head and said, "He's been taken away. The noose moved very quickly. When I went to look for him, the container was gone. No one knows where he went."

"He must have been taken away in advance. Perhaps Sukuna has already been resurrected in the flesh."

"There is no relevant information at the moment."

Xia Yujie frowned, as more things had happened during this period than in the past ten years. He had never thought that he would see such a day.

Lu Chen waved at Xia Yujie and said, "Then you can study it slowly. I'm going to look for some targets."
