Li Ziqi stared at the spirit runes on the wall with interest, pondering over their structure. She didn't sense anything wrong.
As for Sun Mo, even if he didn't have Divine Sight, he also felt a hint of discomfort.
This was the nervousness brought about by his sharp sixth sense sensing danger.
"What do you think?"
Bai Wenzhang teased.
"There seems to be a very terrifying thing inside!"
Sun Mo mentally mused. Even if he knew it was very dangerous inside, he mustn't leave.
Many people wanted to see the true secret of the Dragonsoul Manor, but they didn't have the chance to.
After hearing this, Bai Wenzhang's brows twitched. After that, he made a 'please' gesture. Since Sun Mo couldn't break the spirit rune lock and couldn't open the door, there was no need for him to enter.
If he succeeded, then it would prove that his decision was right.
The three of them stopped talking and just stood in front of the door, motionless.
After a total of four hours, Sun Mo walked to the door and hammered his fist at the position near 11 o 'clock.
Rumble!
The gate opened.
"You know what? It took me six months to open it. "
Bai Wenzhang felt gratified that he didn't misjudge Qin Wentian, but he also felt a little disappointed.
It was because Sun Mo was too strong, simply overwhelming them.
"I just took advantage of it."
Sun Mo was humble.
Because he wanted to perform the restoration surgery on the experimental bodies, he had seen the information on the spirit runes on their bodies. And this information was the crystallization of Bai Wenzhang's lifetime of research.
As for these crystals, they were similar to the spirit runes on the gate. If nothing went wrong, this should be one of the origins of the spirit runes in the Dragon Spirit Manor.
"Haha!"
Bai Wenzhang patted Sun Mo's shoulder and walked in first.
Li Ziqi followed behind Sun Mo. After entering, she saw that this was a gigantic cave. The surrounding walls were all made of a type of transparent crystal.
They emitted a kind of light that made the cave bright and warm.
"Don't tell me these are all radioactive stones?"
Sun Mo felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
In nature, anything that emits light should be radioactive.
I haven't had a baby yet.
Sun Mo wanted to leave.
Having children aside, what if he couldn't stand up in the future?
The echoes of the footsteps were monotonous and dull.
All of a sudden, Li Ziqi exclaimed in shock. She subconsciously leaped forward and hugged Sun Mo's arm, trembling uncontrollably.
At the end of her line of sight was a crystal barrier that was dozens of meters tall, and in this barrier, there was a monster that she had never seen before.
It didn't have a head, but it had a face.
Blood vessel-like fibers protruded from the skin of his face. They gathered and extended downwards.
This should be its body.
It was like a whale rotting, leaving behind only a skeleton. The lower it went, the thinner it became.
If one looked closely, they would discover that there were strange patterns on the skeleton.
"Aren't you shocked?"
Bai Wenzhang was curious.
Wasn't Sun Mo's expression a little too calm?
The first time he came in with his teacher, he was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue off when he saw this monster.
"Not bad!"
Sun Mo chuckled.
Wasn't it just a biological specimen? It wasn't that disgusting.
"The reason I want to research a self-repairing spirit rune isn't out of nowhere. It's because of this corpse."
Bai Wenzhang explained.
"Look at the patterns on the skeleton. They are alive. What I'm puzzled about now is if they parasitized the owner of this corpse and reproduced, or if they were the ones who gave birth to this corpse."
To Bai Wenzhang, the most unbearable thing wasn't death. It was dying with confusion.
"Alive... alive?"
Li Ziqi was shocked.
"Yes!"
Bai Wenzhang nodded. "Do you know how my teacher died? He restored the spirit runes on the skeleton and was killed by 'them' after that. "
Actually, before the previous headmasters died, they would solemnly warn their successors not to step into this taboo. But as a spirit rune ancestor at the peak of the Nine Provinces, who would be willing to let go of such a topic?
"Can these crystals be broken?"
Sun Mo used Divine Sight to observe again, but it was still an unknown target.
"It can't!"
Bai Wenzhang explained, "This corpse, every ten years, we can see it growing a little. But when it reaches a certain threshold, it would shrink again."
There were no facial features on the monster's face. There was only a strange diagram, but when Sun Mo looked over, it was like he was looking at a beautiful pair of eyes. Even his mind was about to be attracted.
Li Ziqi mustered her courage and walked a few steps forward, wanting to take a closer look at the spirit runes on the skeleton. But when she got near, some of the tentacles of the monster suddenly expanded.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The tentacles were like sharp arrows, wanting to pierce toward the little sunny egg.
Pak!
Sun Mo's eyes and hands were fast. He grabbed the back of Li Ziqi's collar and rapidly retreated.
RUMBLE!
The tentacles pierced through the crystal and shot out, chasing after Li Ziqi. But when they were about to touch her, the crystal seemed to have come to life and directly expanded. It was like ice sealing the tentacles.
"Headmaster, what's going on?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"I didn't expect that Li Ziqi's attribute would be compatible with it!"
Bai Wenzhang was shocked. "According to my research, this spirit rune monster can live on Li Ziqi's body!"
"Let's go!"
Sun Mo wanted to leave.
He was worried that Bai Wenzhang would use the little sunny egg as an experiment. After all, this was someone else's territory and Bai Wenzhang was a powerful mad scientist. If he had evil intentions, Bai Wenzhang wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Teacher Sun is worrying too much. I can't say that I treat my friends with sincerity, but I'm definitely a good teacher and helpful friend."
Bai Wenzhang consoled. "Moreover, it's too much of a waste to use a genius like Li Ziqi for an experiment."
The meaning behind his words was that if Li Ziqi wasn't outstanding enough, she could be sacrificed.
Next, Bai Wenzhang brought Sun Mo to the treasure vault.
There was no gold or silver here. Instead, it was filled with all sorts of spirit runes.
"These are all top-notch ancient spirit runes that our headmasters have collected over the past few thousand years. There's a total of 13,267 of them. The ones on the left have already been deciphered, but the ones in the middle and right have yet to be deciphered."
Bai Wenzhang explained.
The more Li Ziqi listened, the more she felt that something was wrong.
Why did it feel like a child was flaunting his toy to his friends?
After that, Bai Wenzhang brought Sun Mo and Li Ziqi to the display room.
All the spirit runes here were the masterpieces of the Dragonspirit Manor.
"Research costs a lot of money. In that case, where does the money come from?"
Bai Wenzhang touched a spirit rune and had a confident and proud smile. "This is the answer."
"This spirit rune has an electric shock effect. When it's tattooed on the left side of the chest, it will automatically release an electric current to blast the heart when the user dies."
"Cardiac pacemaker?"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. "This research of yours is quite high-end!"
"What's that?"
Bai Wenzhang felt a little curious when he heard this strange term. After Sun Mo explained, he shook his head. "This spirit rune doesn't have such an effect. Regardless of whether the user dies or not, as long as this spirit rune is tattooed on them, they will be able to reawaken and live for a few more minutes.
"Although the time isn't long, it's enough for them to say their last words or fight to the death, perishing together with their enemy.
"Usually speaking, it's used on the personal death guards of those major characters."
Major characters loved this type of spirit rune the most. It was equivalent to a bodyguard with two lives, although the second life could only last for a shorter amount of time.
Sun Mo was shocked. "It's so magical?"
"This is a masterpiece created by our sixth headmaster according to the spirit rune of that monster."
Bai Wenzhang explained.
"Amazing!"
Sun Mo was truly convinced.
However, when he thought about the fact that the headmaster of this manor had always been one of the strongest spirit rune great ancestors in the spirit rune world of the Nine Provinces, one could see how strong their foundations were.
Let alone 1,000 years, even the knowledge and works accumulated over 300 years was a number that people could only look at with envy.
This manor might not be able to win against the Nine Greats in terms of overall strength, but if one were to talk about the study of spirit runes, it would definitely be top-tier.
It could fight fairly well.
"In that case, do you want such a powerful inheritance?"
Bai Wenzhang suddenly spoke, causing Sun Mo and Li Ziqi, who were still feeling envious, to be stunned.
"Mn?"
Sun Mo glanced at Bai Wenzhang. "Headmaster, don't joke around!"
"My time is so tight, how can I still have the mood to joke around?"
Bai Wenzhang shook his head.
Ba-thump! Ba-thump!
Li Ziqi's heart started to palpitate uncontrollably.
This...
This was like a meat pie falling from the sky!
No!
What fell was gold, and it was the kind that covered the sky and earth like a golden rain.
Seeing Sun Mo's expression of disbelief, Bai Wenzhang's expression turned solemn. "I guarantee with my character that if you are willing to inherit this inheritance, I will pass the position of the headmaster to you."
"Why?"
Sun Mo didn't understand. (Even the most prodigal second-generation rich second-generation I've seen isn't as ruthless as you.)
"This manor isn't a business of the clan. The meaning of its existence isn't to amass wealth or to dominate the world. It's purely to research spirit runes to the extreme."
Bai Wenzhang glanced at the treasure-trove filled up.
"When we choose a new headmaster, we don't look at his relationship with us. Rather, we look at his character and talent. Naturally, it would be best if he is our personal disciple. But sadly, the personal disciples of this generation are all disappointing."
After speaking until here, Bai Wenzhang felt especially disappointed.
If his personal disciples were more outstanding, he wouldn't have chosen Sun Mo.
Sun Mo fell silent.
Honestly speaking, he didn't dare to agree!
It was like picking up tens of dollars on the road and not needing to wait to hand it over to the owner. But suddenly, a rich person said, "I admire you. Come and inherit my inheritance!"
That's right, a billionaire.
Who would dare to agree to this?
Sun Mo's first reaction was, 'Bai Wenzhang, are you a lunatic? Or are you making fun of me?'
"Naturally, since the inheritance is given to you, you have to bear the corresponding responsibility. At the very least, you have to ensure that the standard of the manor's spirit rune research is still top-tier in the Nine Provinces until you die."
Bai Wenzhang looked at Sun Mo and spoke in a solemn tone, "If you can't do it, don't agree to it."
"My mind is in a mess!"
Sun Mo did feel a little panicky. In his two lifetimes, he had never borne such a heavy burden before.
"No rush, I still have some time."
Bai Wenzhang turned and left. "Let's go, I still have a gift for you."
After Sun Mo left, Li Ziqi was still standing at her original location with a dumbfounded look on her face.
There was no solution to it. The impact of this was simply too great.
"Teacher only needs to nod his head and he can become the person in charge of a top-tier spirit rune manor in the Nine Provinces?"
Li Ziqi still couldn't believe it. Wasn't Bai Wenzhang too much of a prodigal?
