Refining divine pills, controlling divine beasts, and the useless lady is so cool

Mu Qingli's reaction startled several people. Luo Ning immediately stepped forward and pulled Mu Qingli's arm: "Li Li, what's wrong? What's written on this scroll?"

Not only Luo Ning, but everyone present was curious, even Pei Yan and Bai Mo looked at Mu Qingli.

Mu Qingli tried hard to calm down, then opened the scroll and showed it to everyone.

There were words on top of the scroll, and dozens of human skins hung below. Under each skin was written the name, age, and even how the person was killed.

These are obviously the previous victims.

Looking back at the text, there were a few large characters written on the top of the scroll - The Art of Immortality of the Soul, if practiced successfully, one will gain eternal life.

What follows is the method of cultivation. Devouring the flesh and blood of ninety-nine practitioners will make the whole person look old in the early stage, but as the number of people devoured increases, he will become younger and younger, and thus his soul will be immortal.

At the end, there is a line of small words: The higher the talent of the one being devoured, the more significant the effect.

After reading this, Shangguan Xiyue was so angry that she was shaking. "Where on earth did this evil magic come from? It's so cruel."

Pei Yan's face turned pale. "I suspect this man in black came from somewhere else. There's no way such evil magic could appear here. It's so evil that it can't even be called a forbidden technique."

Mu Qingli was also silent, and it took a lot of patience to not throw the scroll away, but his hands holding the scroll turned slightly white, and he was holding it very hard.

"This matter is beyond our control. We will hand it over to the academy when we return. I believe Dean Leng will give us a satisfactory answer."

Mu Qingli thought of more than just this. There was also the imperial-level prescription he had discovered before. The medicinal ingredients on that prescription did not belong here. Perhaps they came from the same place.

They don't need to think so much now, they just need to inform the academy of the abnormalities they have discovered.

Murong Jingchen looked at the unconscious man in black and wished he could peel off his skin and pull out his tendons, so that he too could taste the feeling of having his flesh and blood sucked dry:

"Evildoers will be punished. The man in black will definitely go to hell after his death. I believe that heaven will not forgive him."

Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Mu Qingli put the scroll back into the space bag and placed it together with the box that was emitting cold air.

"Xuanpo Baimo, keep the space bag safe, and keep an eye on the man in black. Let's discuss this matter back at the academy. We must not let him get away."

Mu Qingli spoke very seriously. Xuanpo and Bai Mo seemed to see the shadow of Bei Mingye on her face and subconsciously replied yes.

"Wait here for me. I'm going to check out the lake and spring."

Bei Mingye had instructed them not to interfere with any decision made by Mu Qingli, so even though the lake spring seemed a little strange, they did not stop Mu Qingli from exploring.

"Miss Mu, please be careful. We will withdraw first."

The two of them hid in the dark with the unconscious man in black. Without the man in black, Mu Qingli took the lead and walked to the front of the lake spring.

"Although there are no quests in the lake spring, it's incredibly strange. When I threw a stone out of it just now, I noticed there seemed to be an unknown space underneath."

Mu Qingli recalled the scene of throwing the stone from the lake just now. The stone seemed to appear out of thin air and smashed out violently.

"Go down and take a look?"

"I want to go down and take a look, too."

"You all want to go down and take a look, so I want to go down and take a look too."

……

Finally, everyone unanimously decided to go down and find out what was going on.

"Take the water-repellent pill. To prevent us from getting separated after we go down, let's hold hands tightly."

Mu Qingli held Luo Ning and Shangguan Xiyue tightly, and Luo Ning held Luo Yu tightly. Behind Luo Yu were Pei Yan, Murong Jingchen and Xiao Lingyi.

None of the seven people was left behind. At Mu Qingli's command, they all jumped into the lake.

The water in the lake was not deep, but Mu Qingli and his companions felt as if they had fallen into an abyss. It was unknown how long it had passed before they saw the bottom of the river.

"There's a wreck there, but it wasn't there when I looked from the shore."

Murong Jingchen pointed to a boat not far away and said.

Mu Qingli took in the surrounding scenery and said, "This isn't the bottom of the lake. It seems to be blocked off by an area. There must be living creatures here."

Her expression was unfathomable as she looked towards the wrecked ship in front of her.

"Could it be that the rocks from before were thrown by the creatures here? Just to stop us from coming down?"

Seeing Mu Qingli staring at the abandoned ship, Luo Yu had some guesses in his mind.

"You'll know if you go in and take a look."

Xiao Lingyi shrugged and was the first to step towards the abandoned ship.

He had already started walking, and the others immediately followed.

This wreck exudes an ancient atmosphere, as if it has been here for a very long time.

There was a big hole in the bottom of the ship, but the hull was intact and sat tilted on the ground.

"This door won't open?"

Murong Jingchen pulled the door with all his might, but it didn't budge at all.

"This door is so broken, you can't even open it. Come over here, I'll do it!"

Luo Ning rolled her eyes at him, thinking that Murong Jingchen just wanted to be lazy.

Murong Jingchen muttered a few words: "Come on, come on, I can't open it, do you think you can open it?"

Luo Ning ignored Murong Jingchen's complaints and went straight up to push. The first push didn't work, so Luo Ning smiled apologetically and tried to push with both hands again. However, his face turned red and he still couldn't push it open.

Luo Ning smiled awkwardly: "There must be something wrong with this door. This door is broken."

Murong Jingchen: I just smiled and didn’t say anything.

The last group of people tried everything, but the door still couldn't be opened.

Mu Qingli's eyes swept across a trace on the bottom of the wrecked ship. After giving Yun Xiao a water-repellent pill, he called him out.

She whispered a few words in Yun Xiao's ear, and Yun Xiao nodded his head to show that he understood.

"Okay, let's go."

Yun Xiao jumped out of Mu Qingli's arms, scratched the door of the abandoned ship with his little claws, and said a few words in animal language, but there was still no movement.

Yun Xiao tilted his head and continued to communicate with Mu Qingli. After receiving a reply, he shouted a few more words towards the door, but there was still no response.

Yun Xiao was so anxious that he was spinning around. After seeing the hole at the bottom of the wrecked ship, he flew straight into the ship through the hole.

Then there was a sound of fighting coming from inside the boat, followed by a series of crackling sounds.

Mu Qingli smiled and said, "First the civil side, then the military side. Since you are unwilling to open the door, then find another way."

Luo Ning gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! If I weren't older than you, I would really want to call you sister."

The sounds of fighting in the boat gradually became quieter, and finally there was nothing left, but the door still did not open.

Murong Jingchen was a little worried that Yun Xiao was being bullied, but before he could finish his words of concern, the door creaked open, and a little head slowly appeared.
