Chapter 302 Interrogation
However, just after nodding, Shen Shuibi suddenly discovered something.
Li Qi naturally said: "Wait for a few decades."
She looked at Li Qi again, tilted her head suspiciously and asked: "You... are you getting used to your life? Weren't you only at the seventh rank an hour ago?"
This really surprised Shen Shuibi. Li Qi grew up too fast, right? Normal people should have a few hundred years to adapt to endless life, right?
For a long time, people who have just entered the seventh rank will not be tired of the pleasures of the secular world. Although they are immortal, the new immortals will have feelings like "There are so many places worth going to, so many things worth watching, this world is really interesting."
They will still maintain the same concept of time as before, until one day, they begin to discover the repetitiveness of the mortal world.
The commonality among mortals, the animal nature that is exactly the same no matter how much they have seen.
Until then, the immortals will turn their attention to those things that are truly worth challenging, those great careers that are grand enough for them to devote themselves to.
However, Li Qi replied: "Well, although I just reached the seventh rank, the great witch reminded me not to be obsessed with temporary gains and losses, but to focus on the long-term. I think it makes sense. Although I cannot understand it directly, if I want to cultivate this concept of time, I should make plans from now on." Shen Shuibi was about to say something when she heard this, but soon shook her head. She stopped talking. It is actually useless to start planning in advance at this time. She wanted to remind Li Qi. But there is no need. It is a good thing that Li Qi has his own ideas. There is still a long time. Li Qi has thousands of years to slowly explore the method that really suits him. As for now, just be happy for him. Rabbit thought: "That's good. By the way, I was thinking about how to celebrate your seventh rank. I didn't expect it to happen so soon... It caught me off guard. I'll prepare a gift for you when you come to the Holy Flame Realm next time."
"Well, okay, I'll contact the merchants of the Holy Flame first. The next time I come... maybe half a year later, you can prepare to use your skills and medical skills to collect the Holy Flame first. The next time I come, you can pack it up and take it away and bring it to the world."
"I'll pay attention, but... do you want to contact the people in the Shinto and barter directly, or sell it in Tangguo and exchange it for silver?" Shen Shuibi asked.
"Not necessarily. I'm going to find a Shinto student with a good status in the Imperial College. Maybe we can talk about it." Li Qi replied.
"That's fine." Rabbit nodded.
The two talked about some trivial matters and some private words that were not convenient for outsiders to talk about, and then hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Then, each of them did their own thing.
Shen Shuibi continued to compile secret books, guide the Son of Destiny, and collect some Holy Flames.
Li Qi went to find a market for the Holy Flames and study at the Imperial College.
There were still a few days before the Imperial College opened, and Li Qi stayed in the room to adjust his body.
After possessing the true nature, the human body needed to be adjusted again. He flipped through books to find out how to solve certain situations, and began to try to adjust.
As this work began to progress, his internal consumption became lower and lower, and he was getting closer and closer to "roundness".
However, it was far from the kind of roundness without wear and tear that the Great Witch showed him.
He could only achieve water and soil circulation at best. If he wanted to maintain his vitality, he still had to constantly grab resources from the outside world. He could not rely on himself to keep circulating forever.
However, with such running-in, his internal consumption became lower and lower, and the power he could use became stronger and stronger.
He also took this opportunity to repair the hidden injuries of his body, the weaknesses reflected by the Three Lives Ancient Mirror.
However, there were only a few places that could be repaired in the past few days.
Li Qi estimated that this kind of conditioning to reduce internal consumption would take at least 20 years to be effective.
This is a long-term project, and we cannot rush it.
Just like treating floods, if we rush it, the more we treat it, the more it will cause more damage. We need to understand it in detail and slowly guide it, so that we can achieve peace of water and soil.
However, not rushing it just means not to be anxious, not to let people take a bad holiday, and we still need to insist on combing it every day.
This work lasted for two days.
Just when Li Qi was concentrating on practicing, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
Li Qi opened his eyes.
Well, the efficiency of the Tang people is still very high.
Thinking of this, he got up, walked over, and opened the door.
Outside the door were several practitioners in black clothes, all of them were seventh-grade without exception.
After reaching the seventh grade, Li Qi's perception became much sharper, and there were two strands of true knowledge rhyme that merged into one strand, so he felt their breath more clearly.
It was much clearer than the vague perception at the eighth grade, and he could even use it to speculate on their practice methods.
Li Qi didn't know how the seventh-grade human beings could achieve immortality, because this was considered a secret of their cultivation and would not be easily revealed to others, but the aura he felt at this moment... was different from any other seventh-grade person Li Qi had seen.
The witch way was to create something out of nothing, and through a method similar to the creation of the universe, it created the vitality that could make him immortal.
Li Qi has never practiced the Taoist method, but he can feel it through Chen Shuibi. It is a method that is different from that of witchcraft and Taoism. It does not create something out of nothing, but collects the energy of all things, breathes in and visualizes, and absorbs the energy from the outside world. After being stored in the body and condensed into golden elixir and soul, the whole body becomes one, and natural aging stops completely.
It is similar to Wu Dao, but the realization is very different. Li Qi is still aging, but at the same time as he ages, the vitality that continues to appear is making up for it, allowing him to age while extending his life, achieving a dynamic balance similar to the movement of heaven. This is also the 'harmony of nature' pursued by Wu Tao.
However, Taoism perfects the physical body through the Golden Elixir of Hunyuan, and perfects the soul through Yin Shen and Yang Shen, so that the two are completely solidified and protected from wind and rain, so that the life span will not be lost or evaporated.
And the humane people in front of me...
It's even more strange.
Li Qi could feel that their personal world seemed to be completely open.
A whole open system, even Li Qi could feel that their bodies were constantly communicating with the outside world.
But not a cycle, but pure plunder.
Impurities are constantly being eliminated, and then the essence of the outside world is absorbed. The required qi becomes the material and remains, and then the remaining impurities are discharged.
This is the result of these people restraining themselves. If they were allowed to go all out and absorb it without restraint, they would soon be able to plunder all the vitality of an inferior world and turn it into a dead place.
Even the ninth-grade world may only be able to support their wanton absorption for a few hundred years, and it will soon be exhausted.
It's really...a way of immortality full of humane characteristics.
If it's broken, replace it, if it's gone, ask for it from the outside world, and maintain your immortality through constant plunder.
As for the world outside...
Nature will recover quickly. After thousands of years of deposition and circulation, these miscellaneous gases will one day become the nourishment for the new Qi. At that time, just absorb the new Qi.
When the men in black saw Li Qi opening the door, they first saluted and then showed their IDs.
They are all from Dali Temple, but only one has an official status.
The one who took the lead had an official status and wore official uniforms, and the documents he took out were also found.
The chief registrar of Dali Temple is a seventh-rank official. In addition to his official position, he is also a seventh-rank official.
The rest are all officials, working in Dali Temple, but they have no official status, but they all have seventh-level cultivation. They should be similar to the special field search team.
"Master Li, we are here to investigate the assassination of the master, I wonder?" Bo, the master of Dali Temple, looked at Li Qi and said with a smile.
In charge of books and documents, he should be here to record Li Qi's files personally.
"It turns out that the adults from Dali Temple are here, please come in quickly." Seeing this, Li Qi also quickly welcomed these men in black into the courtyard.
However, they did not let everyone in, but left two standing guard outside the door.
Said to be a guard, Li Qi found that his yard was suddenly separated from the outside world.
Dali Temple’s unique magic technique?
He couldn't see the doorway, but other than really knowing the rhyme, he couldn't detect the situation in the outside world by any other means.
There is indeed something.
The rest of the people followed Li Qi into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, the supervisor sat aside and said that he would not ask the questions himself, but would leave it to a professional criminal to communicate with Li Qi.
Li Qi understood.
The so-called criminals are those truly experienced criminal investigators, right?
It's just that... instead of being 'interrogated' by officials, we are being 'interrogated' by criminals. Is this a knock on ourselves?
But he still looked unfazed, quietly waiting for the other party's interrogation.
One of the men in black came forward on his own initiative. He was smartly dressed and had an ordinary but energetic appearance. There was nothing particularly eye-catching about him.
But Li Qi naturally knew that being able to reach the seventh level already showed the abilities of these people, and their appearance and clothes could not explain anything.
The veteran torturer asked: "Master Li, according to the information provided by Master Jing Zhaoyin, what the great witch Mi Xin said before leaving, Wu Shenshan claimed that this was an assassination targeting you, led by Taixue Cheng. But Is there any such thing?”
"It is true that Tai Xuecheng tried to assassinate me with the help of the Three Lives Ancient Mirror with the help of the devil's energy." Li Qi replied.
The executioner didn't comment. Regardless of whether Li Qi's words were true or not, he just asked: "You were in the eighth grade and he was in the sixth grade at the time. They were so close. How did you survive his attack?"
Li Qiye answered straightforwardly: "He was not committing a suicide attack. Naturally, he had to find a way to frame me. When the Three Lives Ancient Mirror reflected my weakness, he released his demonic energy. He only provided support and did not take action himself. He just wanted to Let my Tao heart crack and die."
"Then how did you resist the devil's energy?" the executioner asked again.
Li Qi said calmly: "I don't know the secret of the Three Lives Ancient Mirror. I was invaded by the demonic energy, but my Taoist heart is firm. I can't do anything the devil can do. But after the devil invaded, something happened to the Three Lives Ancient Mirror. The mirror surface cracked and I was trapped." Wrapped in the chaos of the universe, it was impossible to peek into the outside world, and the demon was cut open, and I couldn't use half of it, so I survived. "
There is nothing false in this sentence, but it just conceals some of Li Qi's personal speculations.
For example, Li Qi himself was not sure about the earth's affairs, and he didn't know whether it was true or false.
How could you possibly tell the torturers such things that you don’t know whether they are true or false? Isn't that misleading?
So Li Qi only told the facts, but did not mention any personal speculation.
The executioner did not ask any other questions from beginning to end, and only asked Li Qi to tell the truth.
All they need are facts.
As long as they have facts and specific situations, they can infer them on their own without any association.
This inquiry lasted for two quarters of an hour.
From the specific details of the Sansheng Ancient Mirror, to the appearance of Chaotic Zhou Guang, to Tai Xuecheng's reaction, including later Tai Xuecheng's initiative to sacrifice the demon, and so on.
But Li Qi was extremely impatient from the beginning to the end. Although he was polite, he urged him many times and hurriedly stated that he still needed to stabilize his cultivation. To this end, he also showed off his chaotic body that had just made a breakthrough.
This is naturally true. Li Qi's breakthrough indeed caused the small world of his body to take on its true nature, causing chaos within his body.
These complaints made the prison official speed up the questioning, but they still asked in detail. After the questions were asked, they expressed their gratitude to Li Qi slightly, then packed up the documents and videos and left neatly.
As for Li Qi, he also got what he wanted.
Although Li Qi didn't ask any questions from beginning to end, he was just answering them.
But Dali Temple's attitude had already told him a lot of things.
What Dali Temple asked in detail was what they didn't know.
The things they skip are those that they think are not important, do not need to be asked, or are already known.
Li Qi repeatedly stated that he had no time and urged many times.
This is considered to be the first piece of information obtained.
After the other party left, Li Qi did nothing else and continued to recuperate his body in the room to stabilize his newly achieved breakthrough.
So, time passed quickly.
A few days pass in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, I have managed to stabilize my little world, and I no longer need to pay attention to it all the time.
It's just that if you want to achieve the most perfect appearance now, you still need to work hard.
In the meantime, he also took the time to process some documents and finalize the formal admission decision.
In the end, he was admitted to Taixue.
In terms of grades, his actual test was at the top level because he had broken through the seventh level.
Breakthroughs during the test are rare even in Taixue, especially those in the seventh rank. Most Taixue students do not graduate to the seventh rank.
After confirming these things for a few days, Li Qi stood up from the room.
Is this... the end of retreat?
Anyway, that's all.
After leaving the customs today, he will go to Taixue to report.
School officially starts!
Starting today, he will officially enroll.
