Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits-Chapter 334 - 163, Centennial Soul_4

Chapter 334: 163, Centennial Soul_4

“No.”

Councilman Kelo immediately refused.

The Earth people who signed with extraterrestrial civilizations now fall into two factions: one is under the control of extraterrestrial civilizations, and the other desires freedom and independence, willing to stand on the side of Earth civilization.

The Vassal Faction and the Autonomy Faction of Earth civilization stem from these two sides.

If someone from the Autonomy Faction were to test Lin Qing, who knows what would happen, they’d probably let Lin Qing pass directly.

But… if the Vassal Faction sends someone again, there’s a chance they might still get killed?

The conference room fell silent suddenly.

Councilman Kelo and others found themselves in a crisis.

“No need to change the test.”

At this moment, the Planet Inspector made a decision: “Lin Qing only needs to follow the original test, surpass those currently using the Energy Gathering Pool and those ahead of him, that will be enough. Since Yan Tianquan is dead, he naturally doesn’t count.”

…

…

“Councilman Yan.”

In the spacious cultivation hall, Lin Qing looked at Councilman Yan sitting opposite him and said, “So, the current test only requires surpassing the others?”

“No.” Councilman Yan shook his head slightly, “Even the strongest of the current batch have already surrendered voluntarily.”

He glanced at Lin Qing with a hint of meaning, “After all, they don’t want to die.”

“Has it been found out who killed him?” Lin Qing asked.

“There are three suspects.” Councilman Yan’s lips curled into a faint smile, “Master Qi, Dean Chu, and Miss Irenado. What do you think?”

Lin Qing pretended to be indifferent and said, “I don’t know.”

Councilman Yan pondered for a moment and then raised his head slightly.

An invisible Light Domain spread out, gathering all the surrounding energy and enveloping the two of them.

Lin Qing felt the powerful domain and was secretly startled.

He could feel that the Free Energy influenced by this domain definitely surpassed the power of the Sixth Energy Level!

“No one can spy on us.”

Councilman Yan watched Lin Qing, saying softly, “Don’t worry… I won’t ask you how you did it. I just want to tell you one thing.”

The corners of his lips curled up slightly: “Those Intelligent Star dogs… kill as many as you can.”

Lin Qing was slightly stunned, only saying, “I can’t kill them, but I believe any Earth person with the capability would do so.”

“Well said.” Councilman Yan laughed.

He withdrew the domain, “In about two days, you’ll be able to use an Energy Gathering Pool. Cultivate well.”

“Thank you, Councilman Yan.” Lin Qing nodded slightly.

In two days, he would begin his closed-door cultivation.

However… before that, there was one more thing he needed to do.

…

“Do you need me for something?”

The holographic communicator projected a young man wearing a white lab coat and rimless glasses.

It was none other than Chu Hongjun.

“Dean Chu, I’ve been in the urban circle for a few days now. I want to see my cousin’s family.” Lin Qing said, “I heard their lives were arranged by the Dawn Group?”

“See your cousin’s family?”

Chu Hongjun looked Lin Qing up and down, saying, “Do you really have feelings for your cousin’s family?”

Lin Qing was slightly taken aback and said, “My cousin’s family has always been good to me, and my cousin has helped me a lot. Of course, I’m very grateful to them.”

Although at his current level, he no longer cared about a small amount of the Bloodline Evolution Serum, back then, he was weak, and that serum helped him a lot.

How can icing on the cake compare to delivering timely help in a snowstorm?

However, he always felt that there was something wrong with Chu Hongjun’s question.

Chu Hongjun didn’t say much, only saying, “Wait at the main gate of the Star Patrol Council headquarters in ten minutes. I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

“Okay.” Lin Qing nodded immediately.

…

The Dawn Group’s headquarters was also located in a space fortress in the central area of the urban circle, a silver-white fortress resembling a pyramid.

However, the extraterrestrial civilization investing in the Dawn Group was not from the Yuan Chen Civilization, the Divine Maiden Creek Civilization, or the Black Tower Civilization, but the more academically inclined Qiyuan Civilization.

“Dean Chu is personally taking me?”

In the nearly transparent elevator, Lin Qing looked somewhat surprised at Chu Hongjun beside him.

He had thought Chu Hongjun would send someone to take him.

“Since you’re here, there’s something I need to tell you.” Chu Hongjun said calmly.

Lin Qing was puzzled but didn’t ask much.

Before long, they arrived at a hall on the 27th floor of the Dawn Group, where the pure white floor showed almost no sign of any other color.

A slightly tall, short-haired woman was sitting behind a table in the hall, lost in thought.

It was Chen Yanan.

In early April 2121, she chose to join the Dawn Group, and today, it was early April 2123.

Two years had passed, and she seemed unchanged.

“Cousin.” Lin Qing stepped forward.

Chen Yanan looked up slightly, stood up, and then smiled, “Xiao Qing, long time no see.”

She then looked at Chu Hongjun and respectfully said, “Dean Chu.”

“How are you adapting?” Chu Hongjun asked.

“Pretty well.” Chen Yanan nodded immediately.

“Very quick.” Chu Hongjun nodded slightly.

Lin Qing could not help but ask, “Cousin, what do you do here?”

“Nothing special.”

Chen Yanan shook her head, “Just trying to operate and connect some mechanical equipment, that’s how I’ve spent the past two years. What about you? How are you doing now?”

“I’m alright.” Lin Qing looked Chen Yanan over, feeling something was off, and couldn’t help but ask, “Cousin, have you changed in the last two years?”

“Change?”

Chen Yanan shook her head, “Not much.”

Lin Qing felt suspicious, using his telekinesis to scan her, finding nothing wrong, and her life aura was normal.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Yanan asked, puzzled.

“…Nothing.”

Lin Qing shook his head, asking, “What about Aunt and Cousin?”

“They all live in the residential area and visit me sometimes.” Chen Yanan smiled and said, “You can go see them later.”

After chatting for a while, Lin Qing still felt something was off, but didn’t say it aloud.

However, after not much time, Chu Hongjun spoke up, “It’s about time, Chen Yanan, you should go back.”

Chen Yanan was silent for a moment, but still nodded, turning to Lin Qing, hugging him lightly and whispering, “I’m fine. You take care, don’t worry about me.”

Lin Qing frowned slightly.

After letting him go, Chen Yanan took one last look at him before turning and leaving, disappearing behind a door.

“Dean Chu.” Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, “What’s really going on with my cousin? I feel something is wrong with her, what happened to her?”

“Oh?”

Chu Hongjun looked at him, “You can sense it?”

Lin Qing just frowned, “I feel something is wrong, but I can’t pinpoint it.”

“Your sensing is sharp.”

Chu Hongjun nodded slightly, then said, “However, Chen Yanan chose not to tell you the truth. She decided to wait until she succeeds to tell you herself… of course, if you insist on knowing, I don’t mind breaking our agreement.”

Lin Qing was silent for a moment, then said, “I understand, I’ll respect her wishes.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Chu Hongjun looked at him, “For her, and for you, it’s a good thing. She just thinks you can’t handle it, but from what I know about you, I don’t think so.”

“Dean Chu knows me well?” Lin Qing raised an eyebrow, feeling like there was more to his words.

Chu Hongjun turned to look at him, saying, “We’ve met before, haven’t we?”

Lin Qing’s heart shook, but he maintained a calm exterior, “Before?”

“I don’t know when it was exactly.”

Chu Hongjun looked at him, “But it should be a long time ago. When you first contacted me through Chu Hui’s communicator and saw me, your emotions fluctuated. Were you reminiscing?”

Lin Qing smiled faintly, “Dean Chu overthinks things. I was just surprised to meet the legendary Chu Hongjun for the first time.”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to say.” Chu Hongjun looked at him, “Do you want to go to the ruins of Earth’s previous civilization?”

“Ruins?”

Lin Qing said, “Dean Chu means the treasure left by the previous civilization?”

“Yes.” Chu Hongjun nodded slightly.

Lin Qing had heard that the three of them were able to use the Starry Sky Source Stone to test their authority because of the ruins of the previous civilization.

“But isn’t it said that only Earth’s natives who have lived on Earth for more than a hundred years can try?” Lin Qing asked.

“That’s correct.” Chu Hongjun looked at Lin Qing, “But the previous civilization’s ruins test the age of the soul, and you… have already met the requirement.”
