Kadin was a member of the Musk Family. He was also a team leader in Imperial Court, one of the top 10 exploration teams. However, his status in the Holy Disciple circle was higher than Molton's because he was younger and had more potential. This guy had been pursuing her through Molton, but Laura didn't give him a chance. Now that Molton mentioned it again, it seemed that he hadn't given up.
Laura hesitated for a moment.
Molton also knew that it wasn't the right time to talk about this, but some things had to be said. "I won't force you to accept Kadin, but at least give him a chance and try to get in touch with him. In addition, there aren't many ways to help Wang Zhong become a Holy Disciple. Among the methods I know, there's one that requires Kadin's help … Only Kadin can get the coordinates of the Musk Family's Paradise Island. Think about it yourself. "
After saying this, Molton hung up the Skylink and sighed to himself. He could tell that Laura was reluctant to part with him and that she didn't like Kadin. It wasn't because he was cruel as a brother, but because he had seen too many tragedies. In the Holy Land, love was the most extravagant luxury. Those who weren't powerful didn't deserve to be in it, or else they would only harm themselves and others.
As for Kadin, Molton knew that he wasn't a fickle playboy and that he was truly devoted to Laura. In the Holy City, there weren't many men like him who were both powerful and loyal. If Laura let him go, it would be difficult to find someone better than him in the future.
As for feelings … That was actually the most insignificant thing. As long as she was willing to accept it, it could be slowly nurtured.
… …
Wang Zhong obviously didn't know about Laura's dilemma. He had been busy consolidating his Soul Power for the past three days. In fact, he felt that his Soul Power had almost stabilized on the second day, but with Wang Zhong's nitpicky personality, 'almost' obviously wasn't enough. Moreover, after his Soul Power increased, his progress in building his Soul Core and going deeper into the microscopic world was tremendous. He couldn't stop at all.
In the past few days, he hadn't rested for 72 hours. He didn't even have time to look at his Skylink. He had completely entered a state of oblivion. If it weren't for the fact that Simba had been counting the time with his fingers and thinking of going back to see Teacher Lan Daier as soon as possible, Wang Zhong would have probably forgotten about his third diet therapy session.
Seeing that he was going to be late, Wang Zhong, who had exited his meditation, hurriedly wiped his face and rushed to the agreed place. This time, it was not at Lan Daier's villa, nor was it at the restaurant that he had been to before. Instead, it was at the remote border of the Teachers' District. There was a lush garden, and Lan Daier was waiting at the entrance of the garden.
In fact, when he first walked into this garden, he could already sense the rich ward energy around him. There were obviously various kinds of ward arrangements in the garden that had a strong repulsive force against outsiders. Wang Zhong could faintly sense the traces of the repulsive force. Thanks to his meticulous perception of power, the repulsive force was very strong. However, the strange thing was that before the repulsive force could get close to him, it was offset or blocked by some kind of signal from Lan Daier.
The ward energy was. Of the ward energy was.. Wang Lan Lan. "Sister Ling,"
"Big sister's Gourmet Laboratory."
The Gourmet Laboratory was like an alchemist's private workshop or a ward master's personal space. Other than being used for experiments, it also stored some precious materials, including some valuable instruments, and even the most precious first-hand experimental data. Simply put, this was the most important and most private place for those masters who held a secondary profession. Only the people they trusted the most would bring them here.
Wang Zhong still had this common sense. He suddenly became Lan Daier's most trusted person. Wang Zhong was really a little embarrassed, but he was also a little happy.
"Do you know how good I am to you now?" Lan Daier joked unhurriedly. "Remember to repay me in the future!"
"The entire garden is a testing area. There are dozens of laboratories scattered here. The conditions here were not bad. Not only me and the other teachers, but some great teachers would also rent laboratories here. These flowers and plants were not purely for decoration, but to set up a barrier to ensure the safety and privacy of this place. In addition to protection, these barriers also have other functions. They are very good at soundproofing. Even if you make a big explosion, the sound won't be able to spread more than a hundred meters. There is also a stable barrier underground. Even if there is an earthquake here, you won't feel it. "
Lan Daier explained as she led the way. There were too many things in the Holy City that Wang Zhong had never seen before, especially since he had recently become interested in wards. There were protective wards, combat wards, and even living support wards that were used for soundproofing or earthquake isolation. There was nothing that the ward masters in the Holy City could not do. There were only things that one could not imagine.
Wang Zhong was amazed along the way until Lan Daier stopped in front of a big tree. Looking at her movements, Wang Zhong knew that there must be something strange about this big tree. However, when he used his Mind's Eye to observe it carefully, he was stunned to see that there was nothing strange about this big tree.
Lan Daier took out a rune token and waved it in front of the big tree. An illusion spread out, and soon, the real house was revealed.
It was actually an illusion. Wang Zhong was a little surprised. Even his Mind's Eye couldn't see the slightest strange illusion. This was really unusual.
When he opened the door, Wang Zhong's eyes lit up again when he saw the layout inside.
It was a wide hall. The surrounding walls and the ground were almost covered with various ward runes. Wang Zhong could recognize some of them, but he could only guess most of them. In addition to the various functions of protection against prying eyes from the outside, there were also many gourmet related functions. For example, some fire rune wards were charged with energy crystals. They were smokeless and tasteless, but they could provide powerful fire energy at any time. Another example was a large frost ward on the left side of the room. This directly turned the corner into a refrigerator. It maintained an absolute low temperature while spreading the frost in the natural environment. The preservation effect was obviously not something a refrigerator with a small space could compare to. There were many similar things, and Wang Zhong could not take in all of them.
There were countless types of precious ingredients, high-grade food containers, cutlery, and cooking utensils. Wang Zhong could see at least forty to fifty different types of wine glasses placed in the transparent cabinet on the right. Different utensils were made of different materials, and different types of alcohol. There was also a dazzling array of knives … It was said that gourmets were knife experts, but these knives looked too high-end. At least half of them were high-grade runic knives. Furthermore, they were clearly custom-made. It was a little hard to imagine what kind of ingredients would actually need such knives to cut them …
Lan Daier didn't talk too much nonsense today. She seemed to naturally enter a strange working state when she stayed in the laboratory. Perhaps it was because she had developed a habit of focusing on her work here all year round. Compared to the usual Lan Daier at home, she was undoubtedly much more serious at this time.
He followed Lan Daier all the way to the end of the hall. Lan Daier opened a small door and said, "Take it off."
"Huh?" Wang Zhong was stunned and didn't come back to his senses.
"What are you 'huh' for? Take it off."
What?
She was suddenly brought to this absolutely enclosed private space, a quiet little black room, a man and a woman … and then she had to take it off?
Wang Zhong didn't react much, but Simba, who was in his Soul Sea, was already agitated. "Wang Zhong! Teacher Lan Daier is mine. If you are a beast, I will cut off all ties with you! "
"Ahem …" Wang Zhong ignored Simba's words. He was dumbfounded. This atmosphere was too easy to make people have wild thoughts.
"Stop looking. Be quick. Take off your clothes and go in yourself."
"Let go! Let me do it! "Simba was so excited that smoke was about to come out of his head.
Wang Zhong swallowed his saliva and felt a little shy. "Do … do I have to take off my underwear?"
Lan Daier seemed to have finally realized that Wang Zhong was thinking a little dirty. She couldn't help but want to laugh and smacked his head. "What nonsense are you thinking? This is the preparation for the diet therapy this time! Without any external cover, your body will be able to absorb the energy better. Take it off if you want. "
Only then did Wang Zhong come to his senses. Although he didn't know what kind of diet therapy required him to take off his clothes, it was obvious that he was thinking about it.
At this time, Lan Daier had already taken the initiative to turn her back to him. Frankly speaking, she felt a little strange at this moment. It was as if she was relieved, but there seemed to be a little disappointment at the same time … Oh, could it be that she was actually expecting something just now?
Wang Zhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, Lan Daier couldn't see the rich expression on his face after she turned her back.
He hurriedly did as Lan Daier said. Sure enough, he didn't even leave his underwear on and went into the small dark room naked. The door behind him was slammed shut, and Wang Zhong quickly calmed down.
This was a completely enclosed space. In the center of the room, there was a one-meter-tall gourd-like thing that was stuffed with a stopper with a runic seal.
"Wang Zhong, open the gourd, hold the bottom of the gourd with both hands, and control your Soul Power to heat the gourd at 5,000 Grassos. Be careful to do it slowly, and the temperature control must be accurate and balanced. Otherwise, the effect of the things inside will be destroyed."
"And then?"
"Just absorb the steam and heat energy emitted from the inside."
"Not eating?"
"Delicious food doesn't necessarily have to be enjoyed through the mouth. Looking, smelling, and directly absorbing it with the body is also a type of diet therapy," Lan Daier said. "The gourd itself is a heating soul tool, and it is filled with Kraken fat. It is one of the natural treasures that can enhance and consolidate Soul Power, and it is most suitable for Heroic Souls."
It was actually Kraken fat! Wang Zhong's expression instantly became serious. Even a layman like him had heard of the famous Kraken fat.
It was definitely a level-8 or even level-9 dimensional creature that lived in some deep-sea worlds in the Fifth Dimension. The ocean had always been an insurmountable barrier for humans, not only on Earth, but also in the Holy City and the Fifth Dimension.
The rich ocean resources often made it easier for the ocean to give birth to hegemon-level existences. There were countless level-8 and level-9 marine dimensional creatures, but they were not interested in competing with humans for territory. Otherwise, there would be no humans in the Fifth Dimension. On the other hand, Krakens were quite famous among the high-level dimensional creatures in the ocean, especially their fat. Strictly speaking, it was no longer considered an ingredient, but a true natural treasure. It was known as the essence of Soul Power and a holy item for healing injuries. No matter how serious the damage to one's Soul Sea was, a spoonful of Kraken fat could guarantee that one's illness would be cured. In addition, Krakens were extremely difficult to capture and were not something that the Holy Disciple exploration teams could set foot on. Thus, they were even more precious.
But Lan Daier was actually using such a precious thing to help him increase his Soul Power?
"It depends on the effect of your absorption. If it goes well enough, you might be able to reach more than 9,500 Grassos."
This was a relatively bold estimate. The higher one's Soul Power was, the harder it would be to increase it. From 8,000 to 9,500 Grassos was much more difficult than from 5,000 to 8,000 Grassos.
It was a precious material and a rare opportunity. It was really difficult to estimate the value of such a large gourd of Kraken fat. Even if Lan Daier did not say it, Wang Zhong could feel her painstaking efforts. At this moment, he immediately became serious.
9,500 Grassos was just Lan Daier's estimate. Wang Zhong hoped that he could break through to the peak in one go.
Ignoring Simba, who was still chattering non-stop in his Soul Sea, he carefully pulled the stopper of the gourd, only to feel a faint fragrance coming from the mouth of the gourd.
He took a deep breath and held the bottom of the gourd with both hands. He instantly adjusted his Soul Power to a stable value of 5,000 Grassos and injected it into the runes on the surface of the gourd.
The originally green gourd immediately flashed with circles of red light. The outside of the gourd was still cold to the touch, but the inside of the gourd had already begun to rapidly heat up. The fragrance of cooked fat replaced the faint green fragrance, turning into a thick white steam that gushed out of the gourd's mouth.
Let's begin!
The surrounding steam was filled with rich energy. This was the first time he had directly absorbed it with his body, and he was worried that he would not be able to absorb it. But when he really started, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Wang Zhong just tried his best to stretch his body. The external heat from the steam was like a sauna, allowing all the pores on his body to naturally open up. Then, he circulated his Soul Power, forming an inner rotation inside his body. This would produce a traction force that would attract energy from the outside world into his body. This kind of small trick might be very difficult for ordinary people, but Wang Zhong was very familiar with it. Details often determined many things.
This process was rather wonderful. It was like an expert at the Heavenly Soul Stage absorbing the power of the heaven and the earth, opening up his body, and accepting the heaven and the earth. The things in the Dimensional World could not be understood using the structure of the Earth. Wang Zhong was also constantly changing and looking forward.
Of course, the nature of this was different from that of the Heavenly Soul Stage. One was naturally unconscious power of the heaven and the earth, while the other was the active energy in the Kraken fat. The latter was obviously much easier to absorb.
The overall relaxation and comfort of his body, as well as the rapid replenishment and increase of energy, were only on the surface. This was also an experience in advance. When you completely opened up your body and embraced the outside world, some things in your heart, even your way of thinking, and the way you understood the world would undergo some slight changes, just like a Heavenly Soul. Wang Zhong rather enjoyed this process. It was as if he was immersed in a wonderful ocean, and he was swimming in the ocean like a Kraken …
This was also one of Wang Zhong's characteristics. In the past, a person might have focused all their attention on absorbing and was afraid of wasting any Soul Power. In fact, this was like picking sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons. Any kind of experience and experience was the most valuable wealth for advancing. One would never know when this kind of understanding would suddenly appear and play a crucial role.
This time, Wang Zhong did not take the initiative to control the cells in his body or his Soul Core. Very quickly, he completely entered a state of oblivion. The transmission of Soul Power was stable and slow. Steam lingered in the small black room, making it seem like a fairytale wonderland.
