Chapter 89: Chapter 89 The First Contact
“Gurgle~ Gurgle”
“Buzz”
A familiar scene unfolded as the black crystal powder in Tang Qi’s hand fell into the crucible, giving birth to yet another excellent Spirit Communication Secret dicine. Glancing at the workbench beside him, the materials he had purchased at the Blue Bear Park night market had all been used up.
And the result was the rows of secret dicines flickering with pale blue fluorescence, neatly arranged in the freezer not far in front of Tang Qi.
At least twenty bottles of Spirit Communication Secret dicine, along with other Swift, Phantom, and Mist Secret dicines, lined up orderly. It would have been satisfying for soone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, had it not been for the absence of the final “Fog Body” secret dicine from the enhancent series.
After transferring the pale blue liquid from the crucible to the glass bottle, he placed this last completed secret dicine into the freezer and sealed it for preservation.
...
After tidying up the sowhat ssy workbench, Tang Qi took a glance at the wall clock.
An hour!
A very brief amount of ti considering the results he had achieved.
Other secret alchemists, even secret dicine apprentices, would be unable to match Tang Qi’s efficiency.
At this mont, he casually looked at his own progress in the Skill section.
His advancent in Secret dicine had astonishingly climbed to 40%.
A high progression percentage ant an extrely high success rate.
Compared to the Fog Body, a higher-level secret dicine, the concoction of Spirit Communication Secret dicine was naturally much simpler.
But still, the success rate of Tang Qi’s recent work was remarkably astonishing, with only one failure, which was caused by a sudden night breeze that rattled an incompletely closed window.
Of course, such a skill increase could likely be attributed to the fact that his current Realm was too low.
Although he had succeeded in concocting the entire Fog Body enhancent series, he still could not be considered a Secret dicine Apprentice.
The compulsory regulations of the Original Secret dicine School stated that without being able to concoct the “Rubber Man Secret dicine,” one could not be promoted to Apprentice.
What was sowhat troubling for Tang Qi was that the main ingredients needed for Rubber Man Secret dicine, besides so auxiliary materials, were exceptionally difficult to obtain without exception.
The key issue was that it wasn’t a matter of money; if it had been, Tang Qi would have been delighted. Unfortunately, the main ingredients of Rubber Man Secret dicine were region-specific Extraordinary Artifacts. That ant, within the Divine Eagle Federation, it would be very challenging to find those curios.
Unless Tang Qi personally visited the birthplace of the Original Secret dicine School.
That was clearly impossible, at least not for now.
Therefore, Tang Qi was also aware that the Rubber Man Secret dicine series was of great potential. If he could continue concocting it, after creating the final “Rubber God Secret dicine,” it would genuinely be capable of achieving Divine status.
However, limited by reality, Tang Qi temporarily gave up.
“Phew!”
After everything was packed up, Tang Qi silently began to equip himself.
Tonight had just begun, and the entirety of sser City had only recently fallen into the night.
Apart from concocting Spirit Communication Secret dicine, Tang Qi had another task.
The progression of the ditation thod!
This age-old ditation thod that provided Tang Qi with his fundantal strength was at a critical progression of nine percent. Tang Qi had an inexplicable belief that when he broke through the ten percent threshold, the ditation thod would undergo so surprising changes.
So inexplicable premonition, but Tang Qi was ready to thoroughly verify it.
Blood Python One, two types of Extraordinary Bullets, Heige’s resentnt, Human Skin Ointnt, Sea Demon’s Tears, Eternal Wine… That was Tang Qi’s full arsenal for hunting.
It seed a bit excessive, since normally his combat began with traps set up using Fog Body and Human Skin Ointnt, following up with either Blood Python One or Chaga Fighting Skill. Without any unforeseen events, a hunt could end quickly.
However, caution always paid off.
If not for the fact that “Serland’s Dual Blades” seed a mighty Extraordinary Weapon but actually posed the dangerous risk of making its user go out of control, Tang Qi would even have included these two kitchen knives in his arsenal.
Before leaving, as per routine, Tang Qi lifted the black cloth off a glass bottle sitting on a shelf in the living room.
He watered Professor Cassel, preparing as usual to entrust him with the task of guarding the house, also comforting him with a promise that he would fulfill their deal – within ten days, Rick Cassel would obtain a new, suitable body.
Handpicked by Tang Qi himself.
In fact, it could hardly be called handpicking, as from the start, what body Professor Cassel would receive was predestined, because other than that one… Tang Qi couldn’t find a second one.
After the arrangents, Tang Qi headed for the door; tonight’s hunt was about to begin.
“I shouldn’t go to Georgeway Village anymore; I’ve cleared out the Abnormality there, and with the Spiritual Tide surging, it’s unlikely new abnormalities will erge there any ti soon. Maybe this ti I could try another spot on the outskirts, an abandoned Gold Mining Valley would be worth a try.”
These thoughts had just flashed through Tang Qi’s mind, and at the sa ti, his hand had just grasped the doorknob.
It was at this mont that the telephone ring, without any warning, suddenly sounded urgently.
Ring-a-ling!
Tang Qi’s figure ca to an imdiate halt. Who could be calling at this late hour?
Aside from the school, only Chief Stanna and Sally from the police station knew Tang Qi’s ho phone number.
Sally was ruled out first; her family didn’t have the luxury of a telephone.
Instead of continuing to rule others out, Tang Qi turned around, walked over to the telephone, hesitated, and only after the ring-a-ling rang out again did he abruptly pick up the receiver and put it to his ear, speaking indifferently, “This is Tang Qi’s residence. Please speak.”
The person on the other end of the phone seed to be in a state of urgency, not bothering with any polite pleasantries. As soon as they heard Tang Qi’s voice, they imdiately spilled out a long stream of urgent words.
After listening to just a couple of sentences, Tang Qi’s expression turned solemn.
In the quiet room, the voice coming through the receiver was choppy, but still, he could make out so of the words leaking through: “Chief Stanna… attacked… severe injury… the item being escorted…”
Despite the shocking news from the other end, Tang Qi still maintained a calm deanor, and after listening finished with a calm, “I’ll be right there!”
Hanging up the phone, Tang Qi didn’t imdiately set out.
Instead, he rose slowly, his brow furrowed, quickly pondering in his mind.
From the information obtained via the phone call, Stanna was in charge of escorting the “Curios” confiscated over the past few days to a location specified by the official higher-ups. She was ambushed en route, and although she successfully repelled the attacker, she appeared to have suffered severe injuries.
Moreover, they were Extraordinary inflicted injuries.
The police station had already inford the professional authorities and also notified Tang Qi as an “insider.”
What Tang Qi was pondering over were the “official authorities” ntioned over the phone.
As soone who had entered the Mysterious Side halfway through, Tang Qi wouldn’t think the Federation Governnt lacked Extraordinary Power. The first to notice the return of the Spiritual Tide would definitely be the official side. Correspondingly, they would be the first to start preparations and even vigorously cultivate and collect Extraordinary Power.
As a Special Advisor for sser Police Station, whether he liked it or not, he would inevitably co into contact with the official side – that was unavoidable.
He just hadn’t expected this first “encounter” to co so abruptly.
