I can extract the essence of everything

Chapter 48: Speculations and Discoveries

In the Xu family's ancestral home in Fengcheng, Xu Qinghui's face was grim: "You said Ling Yun might have failed?"

"Well, he is not seen alive and dead."

"When did it happen?"

"The day before yesterday."

"He once successfully killed an external force warrior, but now he has disappeared after entering the secret realm of the Lin family. What do you think about this, Lao San?"

"Xu Jun is more difficult to deal with than we expected. He must have some kind of trump card that we don't know about. I judge that this trump card of his came from Lingshan."

"Well." Xu Qinghui bowed his head and pondered for a long time without saying a word.

"Just now, Xu Jing called and said that the secret realm of the Lin family has been unable to enter freely from the air since yesterday.

Its protective formation has been activated again."

"What did you say?" Xu Qingshan frowned.

"That formation has been ineffective for so many years. As soon as Xu Jun entered, it restarted?

There is definitely something fishy here. The benefits Xu Jun got from Lingshan must be far beyond our imagination.

Boss, I think we need to change our original decision."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Change the goal of the bounty mission from killing to capturing. Capture alive, can be seriously injured, but not dead."

"Yeah, I think so too. Let's do it. You will order someone to change the conditions for achieving the bounty mission later."

"Okay."

Half an hour later, a piece of news spread through some special channels.

The Xu family changed the original goal of the assassination mission of Xu Jun.

The conditions for achieving it changed from killing to capturing, can be seriously injured, but must be captured alive.

In addition, the Xu family increased the bounty amount.

Facing the almost astronomical bounty amount, for a time, the underground world of the entire Eastern Continent was completely boiling.

Some individuals and organizations who thought they were strong began to gather in Fengcheng.

For a time, the wind and clouds were moving, and Xu Jun naturally didn't know all this.

This afternoon, after helping Mu Qingqiu build the house, he continued to look for a place to practice.

The house was built according to Mu Qingqiu's ideas.

She connected the house she bought with Lin Xiaoyu's house.

In this way, the house where Lin Xiaoyu lived changed from one bedroom, one living room and one kitchen to three bedrooms, two living rooms and one kitchen, plus an indoor washroom converted from the kitchen.

Three people each had a bedroom, and then shared an indoor washroom.

From then on, they finally didn't have to go to the toilet together in the cold wind at night.

When the three people were cleaning the room, they became close quickly.

At night, they could curl up on the sofa in the room and talk like old friends for many years.

"Wanqing, Xiaoyu, what do you two think of Xu Jun?"

"Ah? Me? He... He is a family member to me.

Yes, we are a family. He is my family." Lin Xiaoyu answered first.

Mu Wanqing pondered for a moment, then smiled softly: "A very good friend. When I am with him, I don't have to think too much about the intrigues and tricks.

I don't have to care about, or bear, my identity and responsibility as the eldest daughter of the Mu family.

He looks at me like an ordinary person.

Yes, I feel very comfortable when I am with him.

Well, for the time being, that's it."

"Oh? Really?" Mu Qingqiu raised his eyebrows and did not comment.

A very good friend?

It's not just that, right?

I think you want to make him your boyfriend.

I have no opinion on this, but I don't know about my uncle...

Also, I seem to have heard some bad rumors recently, from the underground world.

I hope he can turn danger into safety, alas…

After sighing in his heart, he reached out and stroked the fine hair of the little cat on his leg.

It has been sleeping since it came back, and it can't be woken up when eating. If it weren't for its stable breathing and normal body temperature.

They would all suspect that it is sick.

When thinking this in his heart, the little cat's body suddenly moved, and then stood up with his eyes open.

Afterwards, it tilted its head to look around the room, and then lay down again and fell asleep.

That look is like sleepwalking.

A little silly, and a little cute.

It made Mu Qingqiu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

No wonder so many people like to pet cats, this little thing is really rare.

On the other side, by the lake.

Xu Jun found something very interesting when he was practicing just now.

The small flames he can sense now have become three groups.

The newly added group is the little cat's.

The size of its flame was much weaker than that of Mu Wanqing and Lin Xiaoyu.

Both the size and brightness of the flame were much weaker.

But...

Haha, it was really interesting.

With a smile, Xu Jun continued to practice.

When he was practicing, he did not block his perception of the other three flames.

Because according to the experience of practicing last night and just now, letting go of the perception during practice seemed to help his practice.

The speed of practice should be a little faster.

Originally, he estimated that it would take at least a year to light up the first star.

But after practicing while sensing the other three flames, this time may be slightly earlier.

Ten months?

Maybe even shorter.

Well, judging from the progress of the training in the past two days, the effect is quite significant.

At midnight, Xu Jun stood up and looked up at the sky.

There, it seemed that someone was trying to break into the secret realm from the air.

This was just a mysterious feeling, and he didn't actually see anyone.

Perhaps, that silver disc really recognized me as its master.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why only I could bring people in and out of the secret realm freely.

In addition, after bringing Xiaoyu and Sister Qing in once yesterday, they could actually enter and leave the secret realm alone today.

This may be related to the two flames on their bodies.

Although I don't know how the two flames on their bodies appeared.

It may be related to something on my body. I have some guesses in my heart, but I'm not sure.

This point can be observed and verified when Mu Qingqiu enters and exits again.

Sitting cross-legged again, Xu Jun didn't pay too much attention to the challenger in the sky.

Anyway, they can't break in, and I can't fly now, so I can't check who is breaking through.

So...

Well, let's continue practicing.

This is the real thing.

The next morning, Xu Jun finished his practice and got up.

It's time to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Mu Qingqiu asked Xu Jun to accompany her to a nearby mine.

Mainly to check the equipment and iron ore reserves in the mine, and picked up a few hoes.

Returning to the secret realm again, Xu Jun's idea was verified.

Mu Qingqiu still couldn't enter the secret realm alone.

But the kitten that Xu Jun brought with him could, it had woken up.

It was bigger and its fur was smoother, which might be related to the flame.

Sure enough, the flame was the key to freely enter and exit the secret realm, just like an identity jade card, it should be some kind of identity authentication, or a brand of identity information.

And this brand and authentication, it seems that only I can give.

But how to give it?

A little confused.

Could it be that only those who are recognized by me can get this certification or brand?

Then I will try to recognize Mu Qingqiu in my heart?

"Ah!"

"What's wrong, President Mu?" Looking at Mu Qingqiu who suddenly let go of his hand as if he was electrocuted, Xu Jun asked in confusion.

"Nothing, nothing, just suddenly seemed to be electrocuted by something just now."

Oh?

After hearing this, Xu Jun's heart moved, and then he tried to sense the number of flames.

Hmm? Changed.

Four balls.
