This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 251 Harvard was founded hundreds of years ago not to admit me
"Our leader is Guan Yan, a woman."

Seeing Xiang Yuan's strange expression, obviously thinking about something very rude, Zhou Zhong was a little unhappy: "Don't look down on others, kid. The leader is not very good-looking now, but twenty years ago, she was the most beautiful woman in the dungeon. How many people rushed to see her."

"Brother Zhou, I was wrong. I shouldn't have judged people by their appearance. Can you tell me what happened twenty years ago?"

The innate methods are difficult to use due to the laws of the world in the wasteland, but the innate intuition is still there, and Xiang Yuan vaguely feels that Guan Yan is related to his mission.

Could it be that the relic is on her?
"Twenty years is such a long time, how can I explain it clearly? I just heard it from others. Just listen to it, don't take it seriously..."

Zhou Zhong looked at Guan Yan, who was standing in front of the metal door without saying a word, his eyes full of indignation: "Twenty years ago, our leader was probably seventeen or eighteen years old. Unlike us, the kneeling tribe, she was born in the Central District as a great noble. She was kind-hearted since childhood and often left the Central District to distribute supplies to civilians..."

"She was as beautiful as an angel at that time!"

"The Guan family, to which the leader belongs, is a large clan, and has a very good relationship with the Wang family, to which the city lord belongs. In addition, the leader and the city lord are of similar age, and the elders of the two families are interested in forming an alliance..."

"The genetic modification fluid was developed by the Wang family. It is the sword of the dungeon. The Guan family found an ancient formation from somewhere. For three hundred years, they have been responsible for the defense of the dungeon. They are the shield of the dungeon..."

"There is a large formation below the central area, protecting the underground city from being eroded by the blood rain. It could have protected the entire underground city, but it suddenly exploded 20 years ago, and the power of the formation declined, so it can only protect the central area. You saw it on the way here just now. Those patients were tortured by the blood rain that seeped down from the surface, and their lives were worse than death."

"The explosion killed most of the Guan family's researchers, and the leader's family was also engulfed in flames. Although she survived, but..."

At this point, Zhou Zhong shook his head and said, "After investigation, it was found that the explosion was caused by the improper operation of the leader's parents. The nobles unanimously decided to expel the Guan family, to which the leader belonged, and she was therefore expelled from the Central District."

"The materials used to set up the formation are extremely precious and almost impossible to repair. The leader felt deeply guilty and joined the Pioneers to atone for his sins. At the cost of losing an arm, he became a Qiyuan-level enhancer."

"For twenty years, she has been running around just to repair the formation."

Zhou Zhong looked at Xiang Yuan and warned him, "Although the leader has lost her angelic appearance, her heart has not changed. You'd better not point fingers at her appearance, otherwise, others will not be as easy to talk to as I am."

Great formation!

Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had grasped the key, perhaps the relic was there.

"As for the city lord's wife, if I remember correctly, the bitch's name seems to be Guan Ling, and she is the chief's cousin. The chief's lineage was removed from the list, and Guan Ling's lineage rose to prominence and was responsible for maintaining the formation."

"The dungeon cannot be without the Guan family. The city lord still chose to marry into the Guan family. Guan Ling became the city lord's wife. When she was a younger sister, she worshipped the leader immensely. Now..."

"Every time the leader goes to submit a mission, that bitch takes the opportunity to humiliate him and give him a bunch of cosmetics!"

Zhou Zhong gritted his teeth, his eyes glowing red. “Several times the brothers couldn’t hold back and wanted to rush into the central area to ask for an explanation, but were stopped by the leader.”

It’s really not a thing!
Xiang Yuan nodded. After listening to Zhou Zhong's story, he had a very bad impression of the city lord and his wife. He curled his lips and said, "This story sounds like a conspiracy. Is it possible that the leader's family was framed 20 years ago, and it was the city lord... or the city lord's father who caused the explosion?"

"Uh, what's with your imagination?"

Zhou Zhong was choked up for a moment and didn't know how to respond: "The city lord's wife may be a bitch, but the city lord has always been a good person. He has always tried to improve the conditions in the civilian area and often sends doctors to deliver medicine. Apart from other things, the gene modification fluid of the Wang family has made an unparalleled contribution to the underground city. Everyone is convinced that he should be the city lord."

Simply put, the city lord is good in every way except that he married the wrong wife.

After listening to Zhou Zhong's story, Xiang Yuan remembered a saying of Zener, "You can know a person's face but not his heart. The more upright a person is in front of others, the more bad things he will do behind their backs!"

Xiang Yuan deeply agreed with this statement. He had traveled through it so many times, and except for the one time when he failed at the hands of Master Kang Kuang, bah, Master Kang, the final bosses basically followed this rule.

There is no doubt about it, the city lord is the final boss, and he and the city lord's wife are a perfect match.

"No more talking, the leader is back."

Zhou Zhong saw the leader handing over the task and pushing the cart back, so he slapped Xiang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Go and help. You're new here, so I'll give you the chance to flatter her. Remember, I just said those things randomly, so don't expose her scars in front of the leader, or I'll beat you to death."

Do you dare to make a bet that you can’t kill me even if I just stand still?
Xiang Yuanxin complained that he didn't make a bet with Zhou Zhong, not because he only bets with beautiful women, but because Zhou Zhong is not a beautiful woman.

What is there for a grown man to bet on? There is no point in digging this pit.

Xiang Yuan ran downstairs and tried to read Guan Yan's expression. He didn't see any expression on her rough face. He took the cart and nodded, saying, "Big sister, I can do this kind of rough work."

Guan Yan was in a very low mood. After Xiang Yuan took the cart, he realized what was happening. He said in surprise, "These supplies are very heavy. I didn't expect you to be so strong despite your thin appearance."

"The muscles are growing into the bones."

Xiang Yuan said seriously: "Big sister, to be honest with you, I have been born with supernatural powers since I was a child."

Big sister?
This name sounds weird.

Guan Yan had a good temper and didn't take it to heart. He said in a hoarse voice: "I just asked the officials in the Central District. I can arrange an operation tomorrow to inject you with genetic modification fluid. It's not too late to regret now."

As he spoke, he showed off his mechanical prosthesis.

"So handsome!"

"..."

Guan Yan was speechless. If Xiang Yuan was speaking sincerely, that would be the best.

"Big sister, will everyone lose arms and legs after being injected with genetic modification fluid?"

“Not necessarily. There are also cases where the victims are intact, but these cases only occur in the central area. Civilians suffer too many injuries and illnesses, their nutrition is inadequate, and their physical fitness is too poor…” Guan Yan said slowly.

Apart from the ugly scars all over her body, her vocal cords were also damaged in the fire caused by the explosion, making it very difficult for her to speak, and she was also blind in one eye.

Therefore, she did not become a perfect case and lost an arm.

"Has the city lord also been injected with genetic modification fluid?" Xiang Yuan asked.

"It was injected. It's the most perfect case in the past thirty years."

There must be something wrong with this kid!

Xiang Yuan was determined and continued to ask, "What about the most perfect case thirty years ago?"

"The previous city lord is the father of the current city lord."

The case is solved, there is something wrong with this family, and they have a more perfect genetic modification fluid!

Xiang Yuan was about to say something, but seeing Guan Yan's tired and numb eyes, he decisively showed his positive energy and said optimistically: "Big sister, do you think it is possible for me to become the most perfect case in the next 30 years?"

"Your last name is Wang?"

"no!"

"Then stop dreaming...thinking too much will only lead to disappointment."

Guan Yan laughed at himself and added in his heart, there was also despair.

"Big sister, everyone should have dreams, otherwise, you are no different from salted fish."

Xiang Yuan said seriously: "Let's make a bet. If I become a perfect case, I win."

"What do you want to bet on?"

Guan Yan missed Xiang Yuan's optimistic attitude very much. She was like that 20 years ago. Since then, she has been in disappointment and despair, and she has only relied on the belief in atonement to hold on until now.

"If I win, one day in the future, I hope Big Sister will let me see what the most beautiful woman in the dungeon looks like."

Xiang Yuanbian complained in his heart that he had never seen the most beautiful woman in the dungeon and was a little curious about it, but he was very familiar with the most expensive woman, Celia.

Today is also a day full of hope!
This woman said this while emptying the wallets of eight million warriors.

"You are late."

“Maybe it can be cured!”

"Thank you."

After twenty years, Guan Yan had already let it go. She patted Xiang Yuan on the head and said, "Young man, don't think about beauties all the time. Even if I can cure it, I'm almost forty years old, a middle-aged woman."

It's hard to say. Mr. Bai Yue is already in his thirties, but he drives all the time and is so tender that you can squeeze water out of him.

Guan Yan's tone was flat, and Xiang Yuan did not continue. This topic was a bit revealing, and it would not be too late to talk about it when the day came.

After returning to the three-story building, Guan Yan distributed the supplies and called Xiang Yuan to her room alone to provide him with psychological counseling before the operation.

It was very serious counseling. Guan Yan was worried that the power would go to his head, and also worried that he would not be able to accept the loss of limbs, so she explained the principle of equal exchange as someone who had experienced it.

There is gain and loss. Don't be intoxicated by sudden power, and don't be distressed by physical disability.

Seeing Xiang Yuan's happy face and even looking forward to the mechanical prosthesis, Guan Yan raised his hand to his forehead, feeling that he was overthinking, and turned to talk about the four levels after the injection of genetic modification fluid.

Qi gathering level, energy gathering level, barrier breaking level, origin enlightenment level, and spiritual realm level.

The Qi Jue level is the Qi Refining stage. Because of the poor laws of the wasteland, there is no essential difference between the Qi Jue level and ordinary people, so it is considered an invalid level. There are also very few unlucky people who become Qi Jue level after the injection. The advantage is that the injection does not change before and after, and there will be no missing arms and legs.

The energy gathering level, energy converges, strength condenses, corresponding to the awakening period. At this stage, the enhancer can effectively control the energy in the body, and physical fitness and combat ability are significantly improved.

The barrier-breaking level, breaking through obstacles and surpassing limits, corresponds to the foundation-building period. At this stage, one can break through one's own limits, untie the constraints of the body and energy, and perceive a higher level of power.

Qiyuan level is the highest level that the genetic modification fluid can reach, corresponding to the innate stage. At this stage, the enhancer can control higher-level power and develop various ways of using energy according to his own ability.

While listening to Guan Yan's story, Xiang Yuan compared it with the realm he was familiar with, and found that it made perfect sense to replace energy with true qi, and higher-level power with the laws of heaven and earth.

However, the energy of the wasteland is not true energy, but energy extracted from red crystals.

The Blood Rain Change destroyed the entire world and also brought about a special power system. The changes it caused to the world were somewhat similar to those caused by the Four Heavenly Demons of the Dragon-Subduing Realm, the Demon Pill Meteorite of the Blue Star Realm, and the Ancient God of the Qianyuan Realm.

The blood of the powerful overflowed, directly destroying the original laws of heaven and earth, distorting the world and making it become its own shape!
As for the spiritual realm level, Guan Yan only mentioned it briefly. It is a theoretical stage conceived by researchers, and the current genetic modification fluid cannot reach the threshold of the spiritual realm level.

Transformation period!
According to researchers' speculation, the transformers at this stage are able to open up space and possess powerful domain power. To be more specific, it depends on how the researchers brag.

Xiang Yuan pretended to be drowsy, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hypnotized Guan Yan to stay where she was. "Big sister, can you tell me about your Guan family's formation? If possible, please give me some details."

Guan Yan sat stiffly on the chair and described the situation of the formation in a hoarse voice.

Twenty years ago, before she changed her job to become a pioneer, she was a civilian researcher, studying ancient battle formations with her parents.

The origin of the formation is unknown. According to his father, it was passed down from the ancestors of the Guan family. It originally had no effect until the day of the Blood Rain Incident, when the formation gained special powers.

The formation arranged in the central area of ​​the underground city is mysterious and complex, composed of dozens of small formations. At the center of the formation is a relic inherited from the Guan family, which is also the core of the formation.

When Xiang Yuan wanted to ask something, the energy battery on Guan Yan's prosthetic limb began to beat, and her eyes glowed red, and she slowly broke free from the hypnosis.

The moment he opened his eyes, Guan Yan frowned, vaguely feeling what had just happened.

Looking closely, Xiang Yuan was asleep on the chair opposite.

"It's great to be young, just fall asleep."

……

The next day, Guan Yan took Xiang Yuan to the metal door, walked into the central area, and entered a laboratory on the edge.

Looking from a distance, the ceiling of the central area is about 100 meters high, with projected blue sky and white clouds, as well as sunrises and sunsets and starry sky.

Xiang Yuan was only briefly questioned before being released. This shows that the common people in the underground city are not valued by the nobles. For three hundred years, they haven't even established a reliable identity verification system.

The injection operation is very simple and can be done anywhere, but the genetic modification fluid is directly linked to the city lord's ruling power, so the operation site must be set up in the heavily guarded central area. Because civilians are lowly, the operation site is located on the edge of the central area, and all civilians are prohibited from entering the prosperous area.

If you want to achieve a class leap, you can. After the injection, you will gain the strength of the Qiyuan level, and noble lords will come to recruit you.

Guan Yan was an exception. He was expelled from the Central District nobility and was destined to be a slave for the rest of his life.

If she still had the beauty she had in the past, and was still the number one beauty in the dungeon, perhaps some noble son would lend a helping hand. But now, all we can say is that reality is still quite realistic.

The operating room has the same style as the laboratory, with several medical staff in white coats, some operating instruments, some recording data, and there is a glass window on the outer wall for observation.

Xiang Yuan walked into the transparent container that looked like a petri dish and tried the material. It was quite strong and could be broken with one punch.

Seeing Guan Yan outside the glass window, he smiled and made a scissors hand gesture.

Researcher, no, the medical staff had experienced too many operations and had no intention of giving Xiang Yuan psychological counseling before the operation. After some adjustments, they directly started the gene modification operation.

Inside the transparent container, the energy extracted from the red crystal turned into mist and dispersed, filling the entire container with blood red. The red light, so rich that it could not be dissolved, was like blood, drowning Xiang Yuan's figure so that he could not be seen clearly.

Outside the glass window, Guan Yan frowned, with an ominous premonition in his heart. He had a vague feeling that this strengthening might not be as smooth as usual.

Xiang Yuan on the other side was also frowning. He took a deep breath and felt the smell was very familiar.

Demonic energy!

No, half-finished demonic energy.

The changes in the wasteland are related to the devil!
No wonder these enhancers all have red eyes, even the mutant wild dogs on the roadside have red eyes.

Xiang Yuan thought of the incident that Zhou Zhong told him about three hundred years ago, and guessed that the ancient tomb buried a powerful demon. The moment the coffin was opened, demonic energy surged into the sky, and bloody rain fell all over the world for nine days and nine nights, completely changing the laws of nature in the wasteland.

Considering that the Guan family possesses an inherited formation and an ancient tomb where a great demon is buried, there must have been cultivators in the Wasteland Realm thousands of years ago, and it also experienced the Dharma Ending Age just like the Blue Star Realm.

"Drip drip!"

The alarm sounded and the researchers were thrown into chaos.

"Which value is wrong?"

"All his indicators are normal, but... too normal. The genetic modification fluid cannot change him. I suggest increasing the dosage."

"..."xN
Several researchers looked at each other and decided to just add to the pile of rewards since it wasn't them who were going to die.

Xiang Yuan heard the outside noise and his train of thought was interrupted. Then he remembered that he should strengthen himself.

He took a deep breath, and the physical strength suppressed by the Formless Seal dissipated little by little. His flesh and blood filled up and restored his original appearance. As the Formless Qi simulated red energy, his eyes gradually turned red.

Five minutes later, the red light in the transparent container dissipated. Xiang Yuan remained standing there, nervously making a scissors hand gesture to the nervous Guan Yan.

"..."xN
"What's going on? With such a large dose, why doesn't he show any changes at all?"

"The enhancement failed, or... the lowest energy concentration level?"

Seeing that Xiang Yuan had no missing limbs, several researchers were puzzled. Someone took a look at the energy indicator and immediately gasped.

"Qiyuan level!"

"Just like the city lord, a perfect Qiyuan level!"

"This this……"

"Notify the city lord immediately."

The laboratory was in chaos again.

Outside the window, Guan Yan's anxious heart slowly settled down and he silently said congratulations. He was feeling envious when he suddenly thought of something. His face, which had no expression on it, suddenly became extremely ugly.

……

The City Lord's Mansion of the dungeon is located in the deepest part of the central area. It is the power core of the entire dungeon and one of the few luxurious places in the wasteland world.

The outer wall is made of thick alloy and the surface is inlaid with complex patterns, which is both for decoration and some kind of complex formation.

The gate is towering and consists of two heavy metal door panels. On both sides of the door stand fully armed guards wearing bright black uniforms, which are far different from the gray and shabby image of the pioneers.

The interior decoration of the City Lord's Mansion is extremely luxurious. Precious artworks and antiques are placed on both sides of the corridor. The floor of the hall is paved with smooth marble, reflecting the light of the dazzling crystal chandeliers above. There is even a small fountain.

The clean water source that is much-needed in the civilian areas is combined with works of art here to become a landscape that embellishes the environment.

Walking through the corridor, the main hall, and then to the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion, every place is spacious and bright, and priceless decorations can be seen everywhere, and there are virtual scenery projections outside the windows.

All the suffering and struggles in the civilian areas have nothing to do with here. Although they are both underground, they are two completely different worlds.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a figure was leaning against a bench, looking down at his own kingdom. When he heard the phone ringing, he calmly picked it up and put it to his ear.

He has an elegant and handsome face, full of aristocratic temperament and the dignity of holding great power.

But soon, after hearing the story on the phone, the face froze.

"Like me...a perfect Qi Yuan level?"

My expression was full of surprise and disbelief, as if to say, Harvard was founded hundreds of years ago not just for the purpose of admitting me!

"This is impossible!"

After hanging up the phone, his handsome expression twisted for a moment, his eyes glowed a strong red. After calming down, he picked up the phone again and dialed a special number.

"Bring the person here..."

"Be quiet, take the secret path, and don't let others know."

Ten thousand words, please give me a monthly ticket!
