After leaving Fandou Garden, Bai Mo did not rush back. Instead, he went to the Qingtian Hunter's Association.
Leng Qing was waiting for him there. Inside the room, Bai Mo looked at a piece of white cloth on the floor and waved his hand.
Clang, clang!
After two objects hit the floor, a corpse and a head appeared on the white cloth.
Leng Qing's expression did not change at all. Clearly, a scene like this was no big deal to her.
Her eyes roamed up and down the dead Blue Robe's body. Then she crouched and began carefully searching the corpse with her gloved hands.
Bai Mo's expression turned strange. He did not suspect Leng Qing of having some bizarre fetish. It was just that the scene was rather novel and odd.
"Sister Leng Qing, are you looking for something?"
"Clues. Since we know Salang is going to plot against a city, the Judgement Association can't ignore it," Leng Qing replied while carefully searching the female corpse.
Clues? Bai Mo was full of question marks. What clues could there be on a corpse?
Actually, if he could, he also wanted to directly reveal the Black Vatican's plans for Bocheng and the Ancient Capital.
It was just that, first, he had no evidence. Second, he did not have the strength to protect himself.
Trouble came from careless words.
"Found it!" Leng Qing's voice made Bai Mo focus on her again. He saw her reach between this woman's—no, this female corpse's—legs under her hip-hugging skirt and take out a small, oval-shaped object!
Bai Mo: !!!(ω‖)
What the hell was that? He really did not understand.
Bai Mo's eyes darted around, and the expression on his face was about to crack.
"I knew it. A Blue Robe is a High-Level Mage, after all. How could she not have spatial equipment on her?"
Only after hearing Leng Qing's muttered words did Bai Mo realize this was actually a piece of spatial equipment!
⊙⊙! Enlightenment dawned.
This was the world-shaking masterpiece of some great talent!
This equipment... was it even proper?
Bai Mo sighed inwardly, his expression returning to normal, and his gaze settled back on the spatial equipment.
Only his peripheral vision kept unconsciously sizing up Leng Qing's skirt. Ah, those legs were really long and straight. There probably wasn't anything inside...
"What are you thinking about!"
Leng Qing's voice rang faintly by his ear. Bai Mo could even feel the warmth of her breath brushing against it.
At some point, she had appeared beside him.
Bai Mo met her eyes with a pure, spotless gaze and shook his head.
"I was thinking about what's inside!"
"Inside the spatial equipment?" Leng Qing stared at him, suspicioning.
With confusion spreading across his face, Bai Mo looked straight ahead at her and said, "Of course. What other inside would it be?"
"Hmph!" Leng Qing snorted and took two steps away, no longer standing so close to him.
Then she began taking the items out of the spatial equipment one by one.
This spatial equipment was not very high-grade. A mage could not project their thoughts inside it to browse what it contained.
They could only take things out one by one. As soon as the first item appeared, Leng Qing frowned.
Bai Mo also furrowed his brow, staring at the jar of blood Leng Qing had taken out. He sensed the aura of magic from it.
"This is a mage's essence blood. It has to be destroyed!"
Leng Qing's face was dark as she put the thing away directly.
Next, she took out a few more items, then another bottle of blood.
Bai Mo sensed powerful vitality from it. He figured it was probably not from a mage, so he asked, "What blood is this?"
"Demon blood. It seems to be from a Commander Level demon, and it's been processed. I'll take it and have someone test it."
Bai Mo nodded and continued watching Leng Qing take things out.
Stockings, a dudou, a leather whip, handcuffs, and a strange-looking rod.
He knew it. This spatial equipment was not proper!
Glancing at Leng Qing, whose face was still expressionless, Bai Mo silently gave her a thumbs-up in his heart.
A master of facial control.
Leng Qing kept taking things out. They were all Cultivation Resources, but none suited Bai Mo.
As her brow furrowed, Bai Mo guessed there might not be much left inside.
She took out a transparent glass bottle, and Bai Mo fixed his eyes on it.
Inside was a tangled stream of cyan-white air. Looking closely, a small cyan-white crystal hovered within the current, and as it appeared—
Bai Mo could clearly feel the air in the originally calm space begin to ripple faintly.
"Take this," Leng Qing said, looking at Bai Mo as she handed the glass bottle to him.
"What is this?" Bai Mo asked in confusion. Leng Qing did not answer right away, only motioned for him to take it.
Bai Mo gently raised his hand and beckoned, drawing the bottle out of Leng Qing's hand.
"Space Gravity?!" Leng Qing was slightly surprised. Well-informed as she was, she understood after a quick thought how Bai Mo had done it. Only after seeing him put it away did she continue asking, "Do you know the Summoning Element's Super Tier Magic, Thousand Clan Elf Tower?"
"Of course I do," Bai Mo said, speechless. It was not like he was magically illiterate.
"The elves summoned by Thousand Clan Elf Tower are random. But this Wind Crystal, if used during the first summoning of Thousand Clan Elf Tower, can ensure that every time you use Thousand Clan Elf Tower afterward, you can summon a Monarch Level Wind Attribute elf."
"Oh..."
Bai Mo nodded, his face expressionless, indicating that he had learned something new. It was something he could only use in the future, so he did not feel much about it.
After taking out the last item of little value, Leng Qing seemed unsatisfied with Bai Mo's reaction and continued, "This thing is actually useful to you now, too."
The moment he heard that, Bai Mo immediately became interested. A smile spread across his face, and he asked at once, "What use, Sister Leng Qing?"
Leng Qing smiled smugly. Let's see you keep copying my expression control. After keeping him in suspense for a moment, she continued explaining.
"That starts with the origin of Wind Crystals. Wind Crystals are produced when Mysterious Winds blown down from the Dimensional Plane into the Magic Plane fall to the ground."
"Some Mysterious Winds turn into storms when they land, while others form Wind Crystals containing powerful and pure Wind Elements."
"Wind Crystals are useless to humans, but they are the favorite of powerful Wind Attribute Summoned Beasts from the Dimensional Plane. You can use this to attract them. At the very least, it can draw in a Commander."
"To put it simply, this thing works similarly to that Summoning Guidance Scroll you bought, only its effect is stronger by who knows how many times. Or rather, that scroll was made by imitating the effect of this thing."
After hearing this, Bai Mo's eyes lit up, and he was so happy he was about to hug Leng Qing.
What a joke. He was only an Intermediate Level Mage; how could Leng Qing possibly let him succeed? Expressionless, she pressed him down with one hand, then said, "Don't get excited yet. Listen until I'm finished."
"Oh..." Bai Mo retreated as though nothing had happened.
"A Wind Crystal can only be used once and is extremely rare. Generally, you can't buy one. You need to try carefully. When using it, just wrap it with Summoning Element magic energy."
"Got it, Sister Leng Qing. I could just love you to death!"
Just as Bai Mo finished speaking, a cough came from the doorway.
"Ahem."
Then came the sound of footsteps moving away. Bai Mo shifted his gaze over and saw Old Man Bao carrying a teapot upstairs.
He withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened, then saw Leng Qing watching him quietly. Expressionless, she said lightly, "Was that fun?"
"Not fun." Bai Mo let go of his hand. "Sister Leng Qing, don't you ever get shy?"
Leng Qing glanced sideways at him. "I remember telling you my third Element is the Mind Element."
"Sister Leng Qing, are Mind Element Mages all this boring?"
Since Bai Mo had nothing else to do, he remembered that Ding Yumian also always seemed unfazed no matter what happened, so he asked that.
"No. This is Mind Element cultivation." Leng Qing glanced at him, then continued explaining, "The Mind Element has three realms of cultivation: Calm Heart, Stirred Heart, and Natural. The order of the first two doesn't have to be fixed. I cultivated Calm Heart first."
Bai Mo was curious. "Calm Heart? What's that?"
"Only by controlling yourself well can you control others well. Calm Heart is perfect control over your own emotions. Mount Tai could collapse before you and your expression would not change; an elk could leap to your side and your eyes would not blink."
"Oh..." He nodded. More useless knowledge had been added.
Looks like Ding Yumian is also cultivating Calm Heart? Bai Mo thought to himself. Then he asked, "What about Stirred Heart and Natural?"
"Stirred Heart is completely opening up your emotions, even pushing them along. A little sorrow becomes great sorrow; a little joy becomes great joy."
"Natural is following your own heart. Be happy when you should be happy, worry when you should worry, and let nature take its course."
"How weird." Bai Mo tilted his head, inwardly feeling that the third one was just being a normal person.
It was getting late. After Leng Qing finished checking the clues and gave him the bounty, Bai Mo said goodbye and left.
