Chapter 74. Another Guiding?

    Sun Tai acted quickly, delivering the illusion essence and the E-grade meditation method the next day.

    Although the name was different, it was still filled like a potion, only the glass bottle didn’t contain liquid, but a hazy blue-white mist.

    “This isn’t for drinking, be sure to read the instructions.” Fatty Sun specifically reminded him, then handed him a thick pile of documents. “This E-grade meditation method is the only one we have in Nanfeng.”

    Su Chen glanced at it, and saw the words “Void Star Meditation Technique” printed on it. He quickly flipped through it.

    It used breathing as a guide, meditating on ancient stars to activate the spiritual cycle.

    After a brief chat, Sun Tai left in a hurry. He had been very busy recently, and the people arrested last time still hadn’t been screened.

    “Not for drinking…” Su Chen opened the metal box and took out the brief instructions for the illusion essence.

    “This product is a highly concentrated mist specifically refined from Fog Realm Flowers… After inhalation, it can significantly increase mental activity, but if mental toughness is insufficient, it will cause hallucinations. Please use the dosage gradually.”

    “It says here that even advanced professionals are advised to only consume the entire bottle without hallucinations after their development progress reaches 30%…” Su Chen shook his head. “Is it because of the strength of a top-tier professional? Or the accumulation of a Tier 1 professional? Perhaps both…”

    Su Chen took a gulp of Mist Demon Potion and walked into the gravity room, assuming a posture, and began to practice the Void Star Meditation Technique.

    As soon as he started meditating, he felt as if he was falling into a cloud of mist. A brilliant star appeared in his mind, its dazzling light cleansing all杂念.

    “He actually returned safely?” The priest frowned as he listened to his subordinate’s report.

    What was going on with Su Chen? Yu Xuan had clearly confirmed it. Could it be that Zhang Hongbo and Ying Feng’s men couldn’t tell the difference?

    “Or is he playing the long game?” He couldn’t figure it out, and finally shook his head. “Forget it, the most important thing now is the sacred statue.”

    The priest pondered, “However, Xia Hanshi’s whereabouts are mysterious. I don’t know where he’s hiding. We must ensure that he doesn’t mess this up. Let’s throw out a bait first…”

    Everything seemed to calm down. Su Chen’s daily routine was drinking potions and training, then training and drinking potions.

    This routine continued for another five or six days until Zhang Hengyu, who had become a Tier 2 professional, eagerly came looking for him.

    Su Chen took this opportunity to visit the cafeteria for a change of pace.

    “It’s truly incomparable. Before, I sometimes fantasized about challenging someone above my rank.” Zhang Hengyu was excited, his body growing increasingly sturdy and strong, filled with vital energy.

    According to him, he had also advanced to a Tier 2 Advanced profession called “Golden Knight,” whose strength was not low.

    Zhang Hengyu repeatedly sighed, “But now I realize that even a Tier 2 Novice isn’t someone a Tier 1 professional can casually challenge.”

    “Mhm hmm,” Su Chen responded perfunctorily, still shoveling food into his mouth.

    “Oh, by the way, you became a Tier 2 professional even earlier than me.” Zhang Hengyu remembered this and felt a bit awkward, scratching his head. “I might not be able to train here anymore after this.”

    There was only one five-fold gravity room here, and Su Chen certainly couldn’t train with Zhang Hengyu.

    “It’s fine.” Su Chen chewed on the tender leg meat and chatted with Zhang Hengyu.

    This kid was much better than his sinister father, and Su Chen didn’t mind talking to him more.

    After seeing Zhang Hengyu off, Su Chen let out a burp and returned to his room, glancing at his panel—

    [Gale Hunter: 11%] [Arcane Apprentice: 4%]

    [E-grade Gale Body Forging Technique—Proficient: 35%]

    [E-grade Void Star Meditation Technique—Beginner: 40%]

    “The week’s potions are basically consumed. I have to wait two more days for the next supply…” Su Chen stretched, habitually perceiving with the [Believer] disguised as a [Heituo Cultist].

    He had expected no results as usual, but this time, he was startled and looked towards the northeast.

    There was only a wall there, but Su Chen felt a familiar pull.

    “Another Guiding?” Su Chen clutched his chest, full of surprise. “It wasn’t here at this time yesterday. Was it newly transported?”

    The [Heituo Cultist]’s perception wasn’t limitless, currently only able to detect things within the inner city, and the further away, the blurrier it became.

    “It’s still moving…” He perceived carefully, only able to vaguely grasp its approximate location.

    Su Chen lost his desire to train and waited until the object stopped moving and settled in one place.

    “It’s already six o’clock in the evening…” He checked the time, and the night was gradually falling.

    After another two or three hours, Su Chen confirmed that the object would no longer move, then decided to go out, applying various camouflage abilities.

    “I’ll go check it out. I’m still missing one last target. If it goes wrong, I’ll report it.”

    Su Chen suddenly darted out, the curtains fluttering continuously.

    Night travel was already second nature to Su Chen, who leaped between buildings, leaving no trace with the wind.

    A few hours later, Su Chen arrived near the target, hiding in a shadow.

    “This place isn’t on the edge of the inner city; it’s quite deep inside.” Su Chen scanned his surroundings. The streets were clean, and there were residential buildings everywhere.

    “It’s in that building.” Su Chen, concealed in the shadows, held binoculars and stared at a seemingly ordinary building in the distance. He couldn’t pinpoint the exact floor.

    Several households still had lights on.

    “It’s better not to take risks. As usual, I’ll report it first and observe from the shadows.” Su Chen thought for a moment, and just as he was about to contact Fatty Sun, his heart shuddered, and he suddenly looked up.

    The sky brightened dramatically, golden flames bursting forth from the void, like a vast sea of fire, churning and transforming in the clouds, gradually revealing a sinuous dragon-like outline. It transformed into a fiery dragon, coiling in the sky and illuminating half the firmament.

    “What in the world is that!” Su Chen was startled, feeling the surrounding temperature rapidly rise. Out of instinct, he retreated a great distance.

    At the same time, from a certain room in the building below, wisps of black mist emerged, condensing above into a withered figure sitting cross-legged.

    “Heituo!” Su Chen stared intently at the black figure.
