Sweet Water City Airport, under the blazing radiance of the hot sun that shines upon this "Spicy City," was at its peak of crowdedness, creating an atmosphere that made people irresistibly want to strip down, which filled the opulent airport.
Tang Qi still dressed as a "Wandering Alchemist." A man wearing a skirt in other cities would seem strange, but here, no one would give a second glance unless the person was genuinely attractive.
Therefore, he cast an "Illusion Spell" on himself.
Just like an ordinary person rushing to catch a flight, he sat in the waiting hall, helplessly watching the television screen hanging high in front of everyone.
Although TV networks had beco sowhat common in Sweet Water City, they were still considered a "luxury," and there was only one screen in the whole hall. This resulted in all the bored passengers fixating on the program being broadcasted on the screen.
Flesh Beach!
Tang Qi didn’t expect to see the show he participated in upon arrival being broadcasted now as he was leaving.
A very boring travel show that only showcased beautiful bodies, which by its content should have been aired late at night; however, standards of decency are especially lax in Sweet Water City, and in the afternoon, the passengers watched with interest as young n and won freely displayed their beautiful bodies.
Occasionally, there were so "funny monts."
For example, Tang Qi’s fleeting appearance, coupled with Miss Gisele’s resentful comntary, imdiately prompted laughter among passengers in the hall. This was clearly the editor’s credit – there was more than one shot of Tang Qi, but to highlight the jokes, they only edited that one shot showing Tang Qi’s "lonely" back view.
As a result of this comntary, Gisele successfully stole the scene.
Although the process was not what she wanted, the result was quite satisfying.
At the end of the program, a familiar announcent ca.
"Rainbow Parrot will soon be boarding, please passengers head to the gate..."
Listening to the announcent, Tang Qi picked up Gluttony and stood up, and chuckled to himself "I’m also soone who’s been on TV", then rged into the crowd and headed to the gate.
The ticket presented to the check-in flight attendant read: Rainbow Parrot, Economy Class, Row 9, Seat B.
The flight back to school, not the "Great Seagull" of the arrival, was changed to a slightly larger airplane, the Rainbow Parrot, but it was still an economy seat.
The ticket was bought by "Death Servant" Shuter, who claid to be a fan of his. According to him: "Shuter’s idol is not only a strong Transcendent but also approachable and possesses the nobility of character, incomparable to those who chase after luxurious pleasures."
"Economy class suits the idol better."
Tang Qi took the ticket, pondered for a mont, with logic that was impeccable, leaving no room for rebuttal.
Last night, sensing that the atmosphere on the Southern Continent was about to boil because of their exploration, the idea of having a party together or strolling through the Extraordinary Market was put on hold, and the six of them parted ways.
The sowhat panicked Puppet Master and Mamba Elder left Sweet Water City that night in haste, heading north.
Reina Svendun and Timothy, few Transcendents with backstage power, also left in the early morning hours.
Tang Qi, who stayed behind, was not arrogantly overconfident; he simply wasn’t that panicked.
In the Mysterious Side, strength is fundantal.
Tang Qi, now holding the identity of "Witch School Principal," in the Divine Eagle Federation, could also be counted as a figure. Faced with not very powerful adversaries that would take a while to discover him, he was entitled to proceed at his own pace.
The so-called "Blood Helt" organization, despite being the official Extraordinary Organization of the Maya Empire, wasn’t as mighty as imagined. Tang Qi even doubted if they could be compared with the "Ancient Castle Bureau," which, after all, cos from a leading family in the Federation, the William family.
Of course, if the opponent turned out to be the Ancient Castle Bureau, or the Investigation Bureau, and they discovered him right away, Tang Qi would definitely leave overnight.
Following the familiar procedure, after a short while, with a gentle tremor, the Rainbow Parrot took off.
"About five hours, and we should reach Secret Phoenix City."
Tang Qi sat in his economy seat, glanced at the estimated ti on his ticket, and then activated his Special Ability to scan the other passengers.
There were no resentful spirits, nor obvious Transcendents, but there were a few "Contactor."
For example, the one sitting next to him, a young man wearing glasses, sowhat skinny with an aura of scholarship, emitted so abnormal aura, also quite mixed. Looking at the book in his hands, "Complete Record of Blue Star Mysteries," it was easy to deduce that this was a Mysticism enthusiast.
The aura on him was probably due to his hobby, visiting so places that aren’t particularly dangerous but can contaminate with an aura.
Tang Qi withdrew his gaze and then closed his eyes straight away, entering a restful state.
His mind concentrated, and he began to inventory the gains from this adventure.
The first was from the wooden box gifted by the fleeing Evil Seed mature body, containing ten fresh rubber fruits and one Demonized Rubber Tree Seedling. If there were no subsequent experiences, this would have been a very generous reward.
The later gains ca from the Wisdom God Kels of the Ancient Mayans.
A man and a god, across the river of ti, had a mystical exchange.
Tang Qi thoroughly resolved the "big trouble" left by the Ancient Mayans, attempting to beco the Mother Goddess, Sersi, plus a spaceship full of monsters, along with a whole terrifying squad of Titanic Evil Seeds.
As compensation, Tang Qi obtained a part of Kels’ knowledge.
The main part of which was a "Pharmacopoeia."
What remains is so ancient, and perhaps outdated, knowledge of the Ancient Mayans.
He did not receive the truly "ancient knowledge" that belonged to Wisdom God Kels, for a simple reason.
It wasn’t because Kels was stingy, but because he could not bestow his vast knowledge to Tang Qi, which involved so other rules on the Mysterious Side.
"To inherit the knowledge of an ancient divine being is both dangerous and horrifying. The inheritor must establish a stable connection with the divinity, be it as a believer or through bloodline. Only then can the pollution contained within the knowledge be digested."
"Especially since Kels has long perished, if He truly imbued His knowledge into the Kels’ Eye to preserve it, the pollution within would be unimaginable. Therefore, the knowledge prepared for Tang Qi and his party within that eyeball was collected by the priest believers of Kels."
Feeling the impressive knowledge in his mind that he was slowly digesting, Tang Qi couldn’t help but want to let the corners of his mouth rise in a curve.
This knowledge could cause his "polymath" profession’s progress to surge dramatically.
Perhaps, upon full digestion, he could entirely enter the Professional Level.
"Hmm, the polymath profession is quite different from other Extraordinary Professions. Most polymaths are proficient in a certain type of knowledge. With these, in regards to the Ancient Maya, the Yamada Jungle, and Secret dicine, I can definitely claim to be an authority."
Skipping over this section, Tang Qi again communicated with "Gluttony" through his mind.
All the tangible parts of the reward had been swallowed into its belly.
At the instant of communication, joyous Information Fragnts imdiately ca back as feedback.
For Gluttony, which had the sa "collector’s addiction" as Tang Qi, this trip’s gains were also very satisfactory.
The first Curio phantom to erge in Tang Qi’s mind was precisely that eyeball-like gemstone, the "Kels’ Eye" from the Wisdom God.
Although this possibly eyeball-plucked gemstone was now covered with cracks, it still bore radiance one could not look at directly. That very real, imnsely coveted Divinity.
"The Illusion Spell can conceal it, but can’t block the radiation of Divinity. I’ll take it out for observation after I return to the Secret Realm."
"Now I can confirm, it’s quite severely damaged, but as long as there is a trace of Kels’ Divinity inside, this trip is a trendous gain for ."
With a smile, Tang Qi then turned his gaze to the other materials and Curios that had erged as phantoms.
Most of them ca from the Ancient Mayans and were not very powerful, but all possessed good potential and characteristics.
This was understandable. When Kels left the "eye," the Ancient Mayans were facing disaster. Any powerful Curios they had would have been used up, not left for the "Inheritor" who would co who knows how many years later.
Among the Curios, so gave Tang Qi an imnse surprise.
They ca from the "Black Prophet."
This formidable spaceship from the Exotic Realm Titanic Clan, with its owner, the Chief Breeding Scientist—a terribly unlucky conspirator and ambitious individual—was the one who orchestrated the rise and downfall of the Ancient Mayans, and also the one who created the twisted "Sersi."
The current Hunting and Fertility God is probably transforming into a "Wandering Monster."
Back in the day, Kels cracked the Black Prophet and, using "Ghosts," stole the permissions, then thoroughly scoured the entire spaceship.
A portion of that "harvest," and high-quality ones to boot, lay in the belly of Gluttony.
Tang Qi browsed through one after another, dozens of various Curios, and a large pile of materials. Whether in shape or aura, all greatly differed from those Tang Qi had seen in the past.
"Curios and materials from Exotic Realms, if one does not possess a Special Ability, using them properly is indeed quite a hassle. But items used by Kels as rewards, even if from the Titanic Clan, would presumably not bear serious Pollution or negative effects."
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, in the midst of browsing, Tang Qi seed to notice sothing and his closed eyes imdiately sprang open.
In the depths of his eyes, a phantom erged.
It was a round chanical construct. Its core was a peculiar "gemstone" emitting a faint blue glow, and the tal engraved with complicated symbols and lines perfectly encased the gemstone, faintly sketching out a "bat" Mark.
Magic Power surged, and another "Illusion Spell" was cast.
Afterward, a triangular black iron piece materialized before Tang Qi.
His gaze swept over it, and Information Fragnts popped up.
"Curio: an instruction manual for so Curio!"
Tang Qi’s brow rose; among the large number of Curios and materials, a few Curios ca with an additional instruction manual, and this gemstone was one of them.
Touching it with a finger, Magic Power exuding, he saw cascades of light burst forth, which indeed revealed the origin, na, usage, and so taboos of the gemstone.
At the first glance, Tang Qi’s mouth once again curled into a smile.
"Tanik Stone, an auxiliary energy source of the Black Prophet, one of the causes for the depletion of the Tanik Clans’ planet."
How this gemstone led to the exhaustion of the Tanik’s planet was not of great concern to Tang Qi.
What truly caught his eye was the following sentence:
"It accumulates a substantial amount of pure energy, can serve as an energy source for most chanical constructs, and has a lifespan of over several hundred years..."
