Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 317 - 71: The Angry Chen Feng

Chen Feng entered the Wanfa Sect quarters looking very unhappy.

Because Wang Qi had not reported to him on time this morning.

It wasn't really a big deal. After all, Chen Feng's Empirical Department hadn't officially started operating yet, and he hadn't reached the stage of being overwhelmed. And it was normal for Wang Qi to be engrossed in researching some materials he had acquired.

However, after he had completed a few experiments and gone with Beifeng to feed the rats twice, he found no sign that Wang Qi had even shown up.

This was different. Punctuality is a very important quality for a researcher. Chen Feng didn't plan to treat Wang Qi like a typical researcher, so he hadn't insisted on punctuality. But breaking promises was too much.

By around nine o'clock at night, he could no longer sit still. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Qi was still an External Affairs Monk of the Divine Capital Station, capable of escaping the monk but not the temple, Chen Feng would have reported him missing, claiming he had absconded with the funds. Oh, wait, he was a Law Enforcement Officer himself, so he could conduct the hunt for Wang Qi on his own.

However, even though he didn't plan to make a big fuss, he wasn't willing to let it go either. While waiting for Wang Qi, he could have accomplished a lot. Thinking about the wasted time made Chen Feng even angrier. So, when he arrived at the Wanfa Sect, his method of entering was not very polite.

He kicked open the door.

It just so happened that Mo Zhenzhen was cleaning the courtyard that day. When she saw Chen Feng, so agitated and bursting into the area, her hands couldn't help but tremble. The Yangshen Pavilion specialized in cultivating the soul and telekinesis, making Chen Feng's aura when angry several times stronger than that of his peers. Under this terrifying aura, Mo Zhenzhen trembled slightly and called, "Senior… Senior Brother, Senior Brother…" It was unclear whether she was greeting Chen Feng or calling for help from a Senior Brother from her sect.

Feeling the terrible power in the courtyard, Huangfu Lian and Li Yue, two True Inheritors at the Wanfa Sect quarters, hurried out. Li Yue's first reaction was to draw her sword, "What brings you here to forcefully enter the Wanfa Sect quarters, Sir?"

Liu Yunxiang's bedroom lights also turned on. The old man slowly walked out of his room, "Is this young friend a disciple of the Yangshen Pavilion? Can we not speak calmly?"

Chen Feng glanced at the trembling Mo Zhenzhen, suppressed his anger, and minimized his aura, asking, "Sorry, I'm looking for an External Affairs Disciple named Wang Qi."

"Wang Qi?" Li Yue was a bit confused. She didn't often stay at the Divine Capital Station and wasn't very familiar with the Qi Cultivation Stage disciples there. Huangfu Lian did know Wang Qi and asked, "Senior Brother Chen, are you looking for Wang Qi with such killing intent for some urgent matter?"

Chen Feng, struggling to control his anger, explained the reason for his visit. Li Yue frowned upon hearing it, "That bastard actually ran away with your experimental funds, Senior Brother?"

"That can't be," Liu Yunxiang was puzzled, "That child is not the type to do such things."

Wang Qi always emphasized that he was an External Affairs Disciple, so those around him treated him as an Outer Disciple. However, as the steward of the station, Liu Yunxiang clearly knew that Wang Qi was a True Disciple. Wang Qi was currently just temporarily assigned outside because of an identity verification issue, but his future achievements might not be low.

A few thousand Stone Spirit Qi? That might be difficult for ordinary disciples. But a True Disciple could easily obtain approval for tens of thousands of Stone Spirit Qi plus a thousand Merit Points simply by publishing a few papers and applying for an experimental project. Wang Qi certainly did not need to leave a bad record with the Immortal Alliance for a mere five thousand Stone Spirit Qi.

Chen Feng nodded, "I also can't make sense of it."

"You all are just too kind, it's obviously a violation of the law and a crime," Li Yue exclaimed angrily.

At that moment, Mo Zhenzhen answered with a slightly trembling voice, "Senior Brother Wang, he... he hasn't left the house all day today..."

Chen Feng frowned, "What's going on?"

"Yesterday, when Senior Brother Wang came back, he just happened to see us celebrating Junior Brother Li's breakthrough, and then..."

Chen Feng sighed, "Don't tell me he has a drinking problem too."

At this time, Chen Feng was already somewhat regretting cooperating with Wang Qi. His next job heavily required Mathematics, but it wasn't necessarily so reliant. The empirical verification of the Life Path simply demanded the ability to write out the needed formulas on the fly, and to do them in one's head was already talent. Wang Qi belonged to those who could provide answers within a second after being given data, but this speed was not indispensable.

By contrast, lacking credibility, poor life habits, or having no sense of time were all major flaws that could disqualify someone from a laboratory career.

Mo Zhenzhen quickly shook her head, "No, Senior Brother Wang doesn't touch a drop of alcohol..."

Li Yue pressed on, "Anyway, where does that scum who tarnishes our sect's reputation live?"

Mo Zhenzhen, not wanting to defy Li Yue, pointed out Wang Qi's room. Li Yue stepped forward and broke down the door to Wang Qi's room.

Immediately after, a strange fluctuation of Spiritual Energy emanated from the room.

On his first day moving in, Wang Qi had placed several Talismans on his room to isolate any auras. Over the month, he continued adding more, making it difficult even for a Golden Core Cultivator like Liu Yunxiang to easily sense Wang Qi's condition.

"He's cultivating... huh?" Mo Zhenzhen was surprised upon seeing Wang Qi's state. Although the fluctuation of spiritual energy seemed like he was cultivating, Wang Qi was not in meditation or even in a meditative state. He was sitting upright at a desk, drawing with a pen in his hand. Then, countless sheets of paper were swirling around him.

"Is this... magnetized paper?" Chen Feng, with his extraordinary knowledge, roughly guessed the trick Wang Qi was using. Electromagnetic force is the power that connects atoms, all atoms have magnetic moments, but they cancel each other out, making them not obvious macroscopically. Theoretically, Heavenly Song could magnetize any object, then maneuver it.

However... shouldn't magnetizing such organic fibers be a capability of the Core Formation Stage?

He didn't know that Wang Qi habitually wetted the corners of the paper with water and then controlled the magnetized water. Magnetizing liquid was quite simple.

Li Yue's knowledge was far inferior to that of Chen Feng, a True Inheritor. Her first reaction was to wake Wang Qi up and confront him with Chen Feng. With this intention, she condensed a ball of cold air in her palm, ready to strike Wang Qi with it.

The Modern Heart Method, tested and refined a thousand times, prevented all potential causes of Deviation. Even if one's cultivation was suddenly interrupted, it wouldn't cause major issues, at most, it would be uncomfortable for a while. Li Yue thought this was a relatively mild approach.

The cold air formed a ball and flew towards Wang Qi. Just then, Wang Qi sensed the attack coming, lifted his head blankly, his eyes without focus. Just a foot away from him, he showed a look of joy and thrust the pen in his hand forward.

Then, with a forward thrust of the pen in his hand, a streak of Sword Qi shot out.
