Ye Chun had a nightmare.

It was as if a dog was chasing after me on a black long winter night, foaming at the mouth and hanging its tongue. In the meantime, I seemed to meet my aunt, but before she could shout, "Auntie, save me," I heard

, the aunt seemed to say something to the dog, and then... the ghost's eyes turned red, and he ran away desperately, shouting something like "I want to eat a hot dog" and caught up with him...

No matter how she cried and begged for mercy.

It’s so terrible, okay!

Ye Chun suddenly opened his eyes and gasped violently.

I woke up from my dream and found that I was sweating profusely and the rain was dripping outside the window.

She got up and took the cup to the kitchen. After drinking several glasses of cold water, she finally came to her senses and couldn't help but grit her teeth and stamp her feet.

Ji, please wait! I’ll let you eat so well!

Don’t even think about serving it tomorrow!

But when she turned back and wanted to continue sleeping, she saw the light in the crack of the door, the light in the living room was still on, and there seemed to be voices coming from her.

Nearing the end.

"Okay, since Master Ye is so happy, the association will not be stingy in repaying you. Of course, I know you won't care about that, but it is still my heartfelt offer, so please don't refuse."

The late night visitor said goodbye politely, got up to say goodbye, and left without looking at the slightly closed door.

The footsteps faded away.

"Ah Chun?" Professor Ye turned around on the sofa.

"Um."

Ye Chun opened the door and rubbed his eyes: "Is aunt still busy?"

Professor Ye said: "Go back to sleep, we are from the association."

"Oh." Ye Chun nodded clearly and looked away from the door, seemingly relaxed: "I thought I was leaving."

"It's not yet time."

Professor Ye lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Go and rest."

"Um……"

Ye Chun thought for a moment, then turned around and smiled: "Thank you, aunt."

Professor Ye said nothing, looking at the patter of rain outside the window and the faint sound of tide in the distance.

The footsteps faded away.

The night passed by in a hurry.

The next day, when the sky was dark, Ji Jue, whose eyes were bloodshot, took the tool box and clocked in to work.

Obviously, I spent most of last night competing with the pocket watch in my hand. Although the spiritual essence was abundant, it was still a bit empty, and a trace of it escaped uncontrollably.

The status is not perfect.

"How's the progress?" Professor Ye held the tea cup, as if he cared about the students, but also seemed to be gloating about their misfortune.

Or, both.

Why hadn't she discovered in the past that it was fun to watch students scratch their heads and puzzle over the problems in front of them... There was a kind of beauty in watching people repeatedly fall into a ditch, climb out, and then continue to fall in again.

But then, Ji Jue's voice was heard.

"It seems like... you've found some tips?"

He said unconvincingly, making Professor Ye's movement of lowering his head to drink tea hesitate slightly.

It was short-lived, less than an instant, and soon the flow was restored.

Maintaining her original movements, she took a sip, then put down the tea cup, slowly raised her eyes and looked over: "Oh?"

For some reason, that look in his eyes made Ji feel extremely stressed.

"I don't know if it's an illusion. Come and see."

Ji Jue raised his hand and once again released the mechanical trance towards the pocket watch in his hand. A faint spiritual light like a candle in the wind emerged from the pocket watch and lit up.

Then, this time, he took a deep breath and slowly stretched out his hand...

At that moment, the fluctuations of Ji Jue's spiritual essence dissipated and slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the spiritual essence appearing on his five fingers was as thin as a line, still and frozen, without any fluctuation or wavering.

That is... the application of the dissociation technique, no, it should be said to be the most one-sided basic technique - to stop the movement of all spiritual matter and keep it in place.

As the founder of the dissociation technique, no one knows it better than Ye Xian.

This source of inspiration for stillness is the most lofty and profound application of the Tao of Ruins - the stasis zone!

If the soul is as fleeting as fireworks, then the essence of matter points to the so-called eternity.

The real experts in the ruins, such as Wen Wen, when using this skill lightly and easily, it was enough to completely stop all spiritual changes in the former Keats Hospital, protecting the safety of the victims to the maximum extent.

.

It is said that the final form of the stasis zone is such that even the molecular motion of matter can be completely frozen, creating a terrifying effect as if time has stopped.

And now Ji Jue's stagnation is not even a drop in the bucket of Wen Wen's display. At best, it is just a poor imitation.

And with this crude imitation, Ji Jue's five fingers actually held the fragile intelligence in the pocket watch between them for a moment.

Got it!

Even in the next moment, with his slight movement, the fragile intelligence fell apart... but it was still enough to make Ye Xian fall into silence.

Fast, too fast.

Even faster than she expected.

Just one night...

If we think about it with the same crude logic as how to put an elephant into a refrigerator, extracting the wisdom contained in matter is just three simple steps: first, grab the tiny gleam of spiritual matter,

Then, make sure its structure is complete, and finally, take it out.

Each step sounds very possible, but in practice, it is a fantasy.

However, Ji Jue has already completed the first step.

Without destroying its own structure, he used extremely delicate operations to hold the spiritual essence given by the mechanical deity in his hands. He even understood the key to the second step without any teacher -

—How to ensure its structural integrity.

Ji Jue's method is very simple. If it's too soft, fragile and weak, then wouldn't it be better to 'freeze' it?

Through the foundation of the practice of dissociation, one's own spiritual essence appears in a stagnant state, and then gradually spreads into the structure of the operating object.

As long as the structure of the operation object is completely fixed, isn't it easy to take it out?

Unfortunately, the direction is completely wrong.

He is not the chosen one from the Ruins, and he does not even possess the blessings of the Ruins. If he maintains his current state, even if he spends his whole life on this, he may not be able to comprehend the eternity in the nature of 'stasis'

mean……

The feasibility is there, but Ji Jue is destined to not be able to do it, or in other words, he does not have the cost-effectiveness to continue.

But at least he realized the problem and started to try.

This is what matters most.

The most difficult thing about a troublesome thing is never how to do it, but finding out where the problem lies. After finding the crux of the problem, even if you use the most stubborn exhaustive method, you can always make some progress.

"It's true that you can think of disassembling the foundation of dissociation and applying it, but you don't have the practical conditions at present." Professor Ye pointed out the mistake in the direction: "If I were you, I would start from the spiritual point of view.

Think of a solution first."

When pointing out problems, Professor Ye's words were rarely calm.

After all, as a student, it is not easy for Ji Jue to be able to find the direction to make decisions and try things without knowing the origin of the technique of stasis.

Besides, it's just one night...

"Let me guess, your current interference and control over the intelligence of creation..." She pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Is it the effect of non-attack?"

"That's right."

Ji Jue nodded.

To be precise, it should be said that it is the work of the "invisible hand".

For the first time, Ji Jue once again felt this existence in a situation other than alchemical creation. When Ji Jue concentrated on operating the ectoplasm on the pocket watch, the illusionary sense of control appeared again.

In my heart.

According to his previous understanding, this should be an illusion.

Invisible hand, this should be the feeling you get when you are creating in alchemy, knowing all the changes in your mind, and having all developments under control.

It refers to everything that happens in the fire, as if it is controlled at will by invisible hands.

It's just a description.

According to common sense, this should be the case.

But Ji Jue seemed to really feel it.

The strange touch, like a phantom limb, was stronger than ever before.

It was different from the familiar feeling of his hands and fingers, but a more vague and vague sense of control - such [hands] existed within the scope covered by his spiritual essence.

It is invisible and formless, but with the movement of spiritual matter, it can complete all precise operations on its behalf and realize all kinds of incredible operations.

Including, holding that fragile intelligence in your hands as carefully as picking up dew!

After trying it dozens of times, I have become familiar with it.

The most difficult step has been completed in such a simple way.

After the blessing of spiritual primacy arrived, the effect of non-attack on the operation of spiritual matter was strengthened again. At the same time, the matrix, which was one step closer to a complete state compared to the original, became more and more consistent with Ji Jue.

It was as if it was also adapting to Ji Jue, and in turn adapted to his habits and usage, changing on its own.

So natural.

"Is this the inheritance of the sages?"

Professor Ye murmured softly.

As far as she knows, there are at least three non-attack matrices circulating in today's era...

One of them is well preserved in the collection of the Ring of Taiyi; one appeared at an auction on Thousand Islands decades ago and was taken by a mysterious buyer; and the other should be in the Federal Desert State Security Bureau

being preserved.

But among these three, absolutely none can compare to the non-attack weapon in Ji Jue's hands.

There is nothing more closely integrated than the matrix and the Chosen One, which itself is a creation that relies on the soul of the Chosen One to complete it.

Similarly, over the years of use of the matrix, the user's traces and experiences will inevitably be left behind. In the end, there will be huge differences between them.

Not to mention, the distinction between users.

For the former sages, reversing time is theoretically feasible. What high-end operations have not been performed? At this moment, it is the same as "Reverse Tiangang". In turn, it is no problem to cooperate with Ji Jue's operations.

Not to mention the already amazing compatibility between Ji Jue and Fei Gong.

It is not reflected in daily basic use, but when faced with goals that exceed one's own limits, any extra help becomes so obvious and clear.

Suddenly, Professor Ye couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that Mercury really likes you."

"Mom likes big brother very much!"

After the metal hummingbird got tired of playing with the chandelier in the living room, it jumped down, rolled in his hair, flapped its wings, and shouted excitedly, wanting to announce to the whole world:

“All moms love it!”

Ji Jue's expression twitched and he pinched the bird's beak.

They were all good words, but why did the compliment suddenly turn sour?

I have become a tool and been taken advantage of by the prophet. How can I say that I am just like the pretty boy who deceived the old aunt?

Just looking at how much meat I eat, it’s obvious that there are more times when I’m deflated and cheated!

This is obviously all my own nutrition expenses, right?

"Okay, now that you know you have an advantage in this area, don't waste it and go back and practice by yourself."

Ye Xian was too lazy to watch Ji Jue's show, and if he continued like this, he wouldn't be able to help but put on so many pairs of pretty pink shoes for him.

"Also, this has been checked. You can take it back."

What Professor Ye finally took out and placed on the table was an antique-looking bell, filled with secret spiritual fluctuations, distant and erratic.

Just looking at it, the clear ringing sound echoed in my ears as if I was hallucinating.

It's fascinating.

This is the complete thing that Ji Jue finally found from the remains of the Lightning Old Den after he scoured the battlefield - all the others turned to ashes, but this one was the only one that could be preserved intact after experiencing the Sword of Minerva.

Not even a hole was broken.

Who can't see that it's a good thing?

However, according to the unspoken rules that were almost agreed between craftsmen in the classical era - generally in the better things, the craftsmen will subconsciously insert some more secret back doors or more sinister surprises, and those who do not know what is going on will do so.

The results after use will be worse, which leads to the weird situation that the better the alchemy items are, the worse they are.

Without Professor Ye's eye, Ji Jue would really not dare to use this casually picked up thing around.

Otherwise, if you use it, you may be used by others without knowing it.

When I heard this, I suddenly felt happy:

"Have you finished reading?"

"Well, to a certain extent, this is the most advanced thing you have brought back these days."

Professor Ye pinched the bell and shook it slightly, and a crisp sound instantly sounded from the bell.

As if from the underworld.

The invisible chill spread instantly, which was worse than the previous situation when Lao Deng used it. Ji felt frozen almost at hand, and then, belatedly, he felt the death-like silence.

I couldn't help but turn around and look out the window.

Under the clouds, in the pattering rain, outside the workshop door, in the hazy rain and mist, blurry figures slowly emerged one after another.

It's like the ghost of the deceased lingers.

Scarlet eyes looked back and looked in this direction.

Hundreds, thousands...
Chapter completed!
