Chapter 52: Nourishment from the Holy Spring
"Boss Zhankong, the patrol team reported that they did not find any traces of humans in the past three days, but found many corpses of demons, and their deaths were extremely miserable."
Listening to his subordinates' reports, Zhan Kong became increasingly uneasy.
Luo Yun disappeared, and it was lost from him, so he cannot shirk responsibility.
Putting aside the responsibilities, Luo Yun himself has a deep friendship with Zhan Kong. If possible, Zhan Kong even wants to make him his sworn brother.
But now...
“I understand. Let’s change the patrol team back to the previous one. No need to increase the number of people, and no need to expand the patrol range.” Zhan Kong said weakly, as if his body was hollowed out.
Now there is no trace of Luo Yun, Zhan Kong can't sit still anymore, so he calls Deng Kai.
After the call was connected, Zhan Kong's words got stuck in his throat, and he stammered, "Uh, that, Old Deng, I have something to tell you."
"Chief Instructor, please speak."
Hearing Deng Kai's cold voice, Zhan Kong swallowed his breath.
"Um, Luo Yun... is missing."
On the other side, Deng Kai was sitting in the office, looking at Luo Yun who was sorting his new tea leaves in front of him. He was stunned for a moment.
"What did you say? Missing? Who is missing?" Deng Kai was confused.
If Luo Yun is missing, then the person in front of me is a ghost?
Judging from his behavior, the guy in front of him is definitely Luo Yun.
Damn, he will take advantage of me!
“It’s Luo Yun.” Zhan Kong said in a low voice.
Hearing someone calling his name, Luo Yun snatched the phone.
"Hello, who are you? What can I do for you?"
Hearing this, Zhan Kong was stunned. How could he not recognize who this voice belonged to?
"Fuck, you didn't go and kill yourself, did you?"
Luo Yun didn't disappear? He didn't leave Anjie that night?
Coming back to his senses, Zhan Kong looked embarrassed.
Damn, what on earth have I been playing for the past three days? I sent someone to look for Luo Yun outside Anjie, but he went home directly that night...
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by seeking death? Didn't you read the letter I left for you?" Luo Yun said cunningly.
"Letter?" Zhan Kong suddenly thought of the white envelope on the bedside table in Luo Yun's room.
After hanging up the phone, Zhan Kong went over, opened the letter, glanced at it, and immediately blushed.
Luo Yun had been out of Anjie for only two days. After killing demons for two days, he was exhausted, so he used Shadow Escape to sneak back to the city on the third day.
Zhan Kong called Deng Kai on the third and a half day. If Luo Yun had been a little slower, Zhan Kong and the others would have discovered what he had done.
Now that Luo Yun has freed himself, Zhan Kong naturally believes that it was an internal conflict among the demons and the matter is over.
Half a month is enough time for everyone to forget about the incident, and eventually they will slowly forget about it.
Standing in front of the Yinmao Building, the bigwigs in Luo Yun's sight exuded their own unique temperament.
Except for Zhan Kong, almost all other high-ranking officials of Bo City are here.
"Luo Yun, according to the results of our meeting, this year's qualification to practice in the Holy Earth Spring belongs to you. You will practice in the Holy Earth Spring for seven days. I wish you a breakthrough to the intermediate level soon."
The person who spoke was Mu Zhuoyun. Although he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Luo Yun because of the previous incident, he could not act on impulse because of personal grudges.
Seeing Luo Yun's high-spirited look and then thinking of his adopted son, Mu Zhuoyun appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was crying more miserably than anyone else.
Fortunately, I have a promising daughter who can give me psychological comfort, otherwise I would be worried to death.
"Mr. Deng, Luo Yun's talent and progress in magic are astonishing, but while cultivating his combat ability, don't forget to teach him etiquette." Yang Zuohe said.
Deng Kai frowned, obviously not understanding what Yang Zuohe meant.
"Zuo..." Luo Yun had just said a word when he was interrupted by Yang Zuohe.
"Don't! Don't call me brother anymore. Really, I don't expect you to call me Mr. Yang or anything else. Just call me by my name. Really, don't call me brother anymore!"
There is a black line on Yang Zuohe's forehead.
The last time Luo Yun called him "Zuo Ge", his colleagues heard it.
Now, whenever Yang Zuohe shows up at the Magic Association, his colleagues affectionately call him "Brother Zuo".
Deng Kai had a tense face and was trying not to smile. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
"I will teach him a lesson later, don't worry... cough, Mr. Yang." Deng Kai almost let the cat out of the bag, so he coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.
The others didn't have a good relationship with Luo Yun, so Zhou Mingjun and Lao Zhu didn't say much and just watched Luo Yun enter the Yinmao Building.
The Holy Spring is located underground. In addition to the Holy Spring, there is also an extremely hidden laboratory.
The experimenters belong to the Magic Association, and the people in charge here are the Holy Spring Guard Captain Liang Bin and the Deputy Guard Captain Lin Yuxin.
These two technicians not only had their wisdom attributes upgraded, they also had their combat power attributes upgraded—they were both powerful mid-level mages.
By the way, they are responsible for the analysis and containment of the Fountain of Madness.
Luo Yun was the first to greet him: "Long time no see, Deputy Guard Captain Lin."
Hearing this, Lin Yuxin turned around, looked, and then walked over.
"It's you. The relevant procedures for entering the Holy Spring have been completed for you. I will take you there."
Lin Yuxin was not troubled by her sister's disappearance and was still very enthusiastic.
After passing through layers of guards, the two finally stopped in front of a stone door engraved with a totem.
Lin Yuxin opened the stone door for Luo Yun, gave him a few instructions and left.
And Luo Yun was fascinated by it the first time he smelled the scent of the Holy Spring.
To be precise, it was not Luo Yun who wanted the Holy Spring, but the Rainbow Stone in his hand.
Behind the totem door is a completely enclosed space, which looks like a private bathhouse at first glance.
Luo Yun was not polite either. He walked to the center of the stone altar and sat down on the ground, cross-legged and entered into meditation.
The warmth of the Holy Spring, like the scorching sun, poured down on Luo Yun, surrounding and enveloping him.
This warmth not only nourishes Luo Yun, but also nourishes the rainbow stone in his hand.
As for the explanation of the miraculous principle of the Holy Earth Spring, Luo Yun could not answer this question, but it was enough to know that it could produce a good chemical reaction with the rainbow stone.
Hopefully, after seven days, the Rainbow Stone will be able to break free of the constraints of its conventional form and break through to its advanced form.
With this thought in mind, Luo Yun immersed himself in meditation.
……
If a wizard wants to release magic, he must go through two processes: control and meditation.
The mental energy required for these two processes is completely different.
For ordinary people, one hour a day is the best they can do to practice control.
For ordinary people, it would take more than an hour to meditate.
Luo Yun can practice continuously for two and a half hours, after which he will get bored and turn around to meditate.
As for Ming Xiu, it can be summed up in one sentence.
Luo Yun can practice meditation from the womb and continue until he dies of old age!
