I Just Won’t Play by the Book - Chapter 359

359 Heart of Blaze
“Uh… Uh…”

In the tent, Mu Jiuri slowly opened his eyes. Then, his spirit suddenly jolted. He wanted to sit up, but he felt pain all over his body.

“Lie down for a while more. Not a single bone in your body is good, and your organs are all twisted into a ball. I’ve applied medicine for you, so you should be able to move at night.”

Hearing Wu Qingce’s relaxed tone, Mu Jiuri’s heart finally calmed down a little. At least it didn’t seem like both of them had been captured and locked up.

“You actually defeated Si Tu?” Mu Jiuri, who had recovered from his shock, said in surprise.

!!
When he fainted, he thought that both of them were dead for sure. After all, he could imagine Wu Qingce defeating four peak-stage great mystic cultivators by himself.

“Yes, it counts…I won.” Wu Qingce replied awkwardly.

With the help of the spirit pills his senior brother had given him, Wu Qingce had managed to heal all the hideous wounds on his body in the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

As for the upcoming one-on-one battle, as long as it wasn’t a mystic spirit realm that had undergone a qualitative change, Wu Qingce, who was below the level of a great mystic cultivator, had yet to defeat him in a one-on-one battle.

After taking care of the remaining four massacres, Wu Qingce carried the unconscious Mu Jiuri back to their camp after being scolded.

‘Is it…?’

Mu Jiuri frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning of the word ” considered “.

After trying hard to recall for a moment, Mu Jiuri suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard a somewhat familiar voice before he fainted, but he could not remember where he had heard it.

Seeing that Mu Jiuri had no intention of asking further, Wu Qingce changed the topic.”Why are you here?”
“The informant reported that there were remnants of the Poisonous Moth Sect in Chuanzhong County, so I organized people to investigate. I didn’t expect to fall into the trap of the Tingshi Five Massacres.”

Hearing Mu Jiuri’s ambiguous words, Wu Qingce smiled and didn’t ask further.

“I owe you my life.”

After a moment of silence in the tent, Mu Jiuri spoke.

“Yes, think about it.”

“Yes.”

On the other side, Jiang Beiran had just been led to the dry land by Gu Qinghuan.

Using his spiritual power to probe the ground, Jiang Beiran discovered that there was indeed an object emitting a strong heat energy.

‘But this is a little too deep…’

Muttering to himself, Jiang Beiran turned to Qu Yangze and said,””Yangze, dig down until your body can’t handle the heat. Don’t force yourself.”

“Yes.” Qu Yangze replied. His hands had turned into sharp claws, and he began to dig down at an extremely fast speed.

“Junior Brother Qu is really talented.”Gu Qinghuan exclaimed as she looked at Qu Yangze, which had been dug out a hundred feet away.

“It’s just that he’s still young and naive. I’ll have to rely on you to teach him more in the future.”

Gu Qinghuan immediately cupped his hands and said,” I dare not say anything. I’m willing to improve together with you, Junior Brother.””

“Yes.” Jiang Beiran nodded and asked curiously,””How did you find this place?”

This phenomenon was hidden so deeply that finding it was not an easy task.

Gu Qinghuan had originally wanted to ask her senior brother about the five senses. When she heard his question, she described everything that had happened to her.

“Have you tried to use your five senses to the limit?”Jiang Beiran asked.

“I’ve tried.” Gu Qinghuan nodded.” I feel like the world has completely changed. Countless spots of light that I can’t see usually surround me.

‘Countless light spots are still okay…You’re probably going to enter the field of quantum mechanics.’

From Gu Qinghuan’s description, Jiang Beiran felt that he had entered some kind of microscopic realm where he could perceive things that could only be observed under a microscope by relying solely on his five senses.

‘The True Essence Heavenly Dipper Technique actually has such an effect…’

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Beiran took out a stone from the ground and threw it to Gu Qinghuan.” Can you sense what this stone is made of?”

This question stumped Gu Qinghuan.

‘Stone…Isn’t it made of stone?

However, Gu Qinghuan knew that her senior brother would not ask such a boring question, so she activated her five senses to observe.

At first, the small stone stood in front of him like a huge mountain. However, as Gu Qinghuan carefully observed it, he realized that there were various structures on the surface of the stone that could not be seen with the naked eye.

They were somewhat dense, and some of them had huge gaps.

Gu Qinghuan, who felt that he had discovered something new, put away the True Essence Heavenly Dipper Technique and said,””Reporting to Shixiong, it’s all kinds of tiny things that make up the stone.”

‘Sure…’

Jiang Beiran, who had suddenly switched to the Natural Science Channel, suddenly became interested.

‘Has Qing Huan become a human microscope? This is too much of a tool.

Thinking that he could use Qing Huan to observe the structure of various magical equipment in the future, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt that he could not do without this good helper in the future when he was refining.

“How long can you maintain this state?”Jiang Beiran asked.

“About the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.”

“How long will it take to recover?”

“This…I haven’t tried it yet.”

“From today onwards, your main task is to repeatedly practice your five senses and prolong the time you can maintain this state.”
