Chapter 73: This Isn't Scientific!

~9 min read 1,687 words

"Finally, we've arrived at this place again."

Entering the Burial Ground for the second time, Huang Zong and the other five felt much more conflicted, and they were not as terrified as before.

The same fog, the same guiding ghost.

However, this time, the six of them had a bit more leisure to observe their surroundings.

Although they were still startled when those ghost fires that wailed like wolves and ghosts suddenly sprang from the soil, they were mentally prepared, so their hearts didn't feel as distressed.

It was just that they still didn't have the courage to look directly at that Human-Faced Locust Tree.

Huang Zong felt that it was something a mortal should not look directly at; even if the other party didn't care, it would still cause them to have endless nightmares!

Arriving at the familiar small courtyard, Huang Zong and the others looked expectantly at the stone table, but were disappointed to find that there was no Spirit Tea waiting for them.

However, as a creaking sound came.

The six of them hurriedly lined up, shouldered their travel bags, and looked with fawning expressions at Shu Daoren, who was walking slowly out of the house.

Shu Daoren's appearance was still as wicked as ever, full of the temperament of a minor villain.

Lu Daheng was the first to put down his travel bag and took out the first batch of blood samples they had collected.

This had also been decided in advance.

They would arrange to store bulk supplies at a designated location, while blood samples and precious medicinal herbs, antiques, and gemstones were brought along when they came to the Burial Ground for their meeting.

With someone taking the lead, the others followed suit, opening their travel bags and taking out the blood samples and the medicinal herbs and treasures they had collected.

Because the time was too short, they hadn't collected many good things.

After the news that they wanted good things was released on Water Blue Star, what Huang Zong and the others saw most were gemstones unearthed last week or medicinal herbs dyed the day before yesterday.

It made them secretly curse those acquaintances for treating them like fat sheep who were pretentious and had more money than sense.

Shu Daoren scanned the items they brought and nodded slightly.

As Shu Daoren raised his cane and tapped the ground lightly.

Swish! The Object Manipulation Technique of the sixth level of Qi Refining was unleashed, instantly causing the specimen box filled with blood samples to fly into mid-air.

Then, under the eager gazes of Huang Zong and the others, Shu Daoren took out the Bloodline Slate.

Afterward, he took a drop of blood from each sealed box in the specimen collection until he had one hundred portions, and placed them into the Bloodline Slate.

Several minutes later, Shu Daoren had tested all the blood samples brought by the six people.

The Bloodline Slate showed no reaction.

Shu Daoren revealed a hint of disappointment and sighed:

"None of the people you collected this time can inherit my legacy!"

"Forget it, do your best and leave the rest to fate; I hope you can work diligently."

"Otherwise, if the Burial Ground has no successors... it will not be able to protect anyone."

Shu Daoren's eerie voice was very light and very low.

Yet it made Huang Zong and the others feel chilled to the bone, feeling as if their bone marrow was aching from the cold.

Hmm... this was actually not their hallucination.

It was Su Ping who had quietly activated the Small Ice Array, truly lowering the temperature in the area where Huang Zong and the six others were.

"Please rest assured, Daoist!"

"We will definitely do our best to find a true successor for the Burial Ground!"

"Yes, we will certainly not let you be without a successor, Daoist!"

The chill made Huang Zong and the others anxious, and they hurriedly knelt down and shouted.

They had also harbored selfish motives this time, as the blood samples basically came from people around them.

So they were particularly concerned about this test; to say they weren't disappointed after finding that no one was selected would be impossible.

And now, being reminded by Shu Daoren.

They suddenly realized again that by becoming Registered Disciples, they had boarded the pirate ship that was the Burial Ground.

If Shu Daoren were to truly pass away one day.

And the Burial Ground had no new Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar.

Would other transcendent beings intervene?

And would they recognize their status as Registered Disciples, which Shu Daoren had given them offhandedly? Or worse, if an enemy came looking and found that the Burial Ground had no transcendent beings left, what if they just crushed them like bugs and announced that they had wiped out the Burial Ground lineage? When counting merits, a Registered Disciple is still a disciple!

If the Immortal Fate really had to go to someone else, there was nothing they could do.

Huang Zong and the six others made a plan in their hearts to relax the conditions for blood samples once they returned.

Seeing that they knew they were wrong, Shu Daoren silently recited a mantra to stop the array, and then with a wave of his hand, teacups and a teapot appeared. Huang Zong and the six others were able to drink a cup of hot Spirit Tea again.

Drinking the Spirit Tea for the second time, Huang Zong only felt that this tea was exceptionally sweet.

The chill on his body was immediately dispelled; it was truly miraculous! He believed this was Spirit Tea that only the top-tier big players were qualified to drink.

After finishing the tea, Huang Zong felt for a moment that he had also become a big player.

Unfortunately, there was only one cup, and Huang Zong's hallucination quickly shattered.

After subsequently settling the follow-up details.

Huang Zong and the others were waved out of the Pot Heaven by Shu Daoren.

Su Ping sent off Huang Zong and the six others, and only then did he look at the other materials in the travel bags.

Su Ping had actually long anticipated the situation with the blood samples.

Even Zhou Xuan, a cultivation seed who was hailed as someone who could leave his name in the Dao records if he were in ancient times, did not have a Spirit Body.

It was evident that a Spirit Body was not exactly a common commodity on Water Blue Star.

Su Ping was just trying it out like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What if he happened to encounter one? Wouldn't that be an excellent, high-potential worker for the Pot Heaven?

Furthermore, referring to those novels written by Immortal Sect disciples, some Spirit Bodies have marvelous uses such as accelerating cultivation or even extending one's lifespan.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case that every time a Spirit Body is confirmed, it attracts the attention of Inner Sect Disciples and even Elders.

Su Ping believes that although he does not understand it now, he will eventually have the opportunity to learn the secrets within.

"Let me see, Spirit Plant, ginseng, and cordyceps."

"Hmm? This plump, white thing is a Flesh Spirit Plant, right? It's fortunate that it's indeed genuine and not made of silicone."

"Next are these jewels and antiques."

"As expected, without the infusion of Spirit Qi, even if they resemble some of the heaven-sent treasures of the Cultivation World, they are only similar in form."

"Perhaps they can be used like white sugar as low-grade Pill or equipment auxiliary materials, but they can never serve as the main ingredient!"

Su Ping found another Jade Guanyin.

It looks to have some history and has been continuously worshipped.

Yet, even on such a family heirloom, Su Ping can only sense a tiny bit of messy, residual thoughts of faith remaining.

This proves that in the environment of Water Blue Star, people can likewise emanate all kinds of thoughts.

It is just that without Spirit Qi, and thus without Spirit Objects, the items they are entrusted to cannot hold these thoughts, and they are simply wasted.

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Since I have returned, such problems can be solved!"

After Su Ping finished taking inventory, he transformed into Shu Daoren and left the Pot Heaven, then recalled the detailed locations provided by Huang Zong and the others.

He applied an Invisibility Talisman and relied on the vision of Spirit Mouse Xiaobai and Xiaohui to lead the way.

In a short time, he crossed several large mountains and arrived at the factory area on the outskirts of Gade City.

After observing for a moment, Su Ping gave a light leap and entered the factory through the chimney on the roof.

With a thought, he had Xiaobai and Xiaohui take action to destroy all the surveillance in the factory.

Only then did Su Ping pick up his Storage Bag and, by moving the goods in batches, transport the large quantities of supplies piled up in the factory into the Pot Heaven.

Not long after Huang Zong and the others returned, they heard the news that the surveillance was broken and couldn't help but exchange glances, then immediately shook their heads to stop the security personnel from taking further measures.

Waiting until the next morning.

Huang Zong and the others came to the factory together and ordered the doors to be opened.

Although they were mentally prepared, they still gasped in excitement upon witnessing the empty factory.

"How is this possible!"

Beside them, the factory security Captain, who did not know the truth of the matter, waved his hands excitedly and shouted with his mouth wide open: "After the goods were transported yesterday, not a single vehicle left the factory area!"

"The surveillance outside the factory area also never captured any human activity!"

"How did everything in the factory disappear?"

"This is unscientific!"
