Arrangements

Zhang Xuezhou could understand why Luo Zhong sought out Luo Burang, but he couldn't understand why Luo Zhong wanted to find him.

Although he was only in his twenties, Zhang Xuezhou was not Luo Burang from twenty years ago, and he was difficult for Luo Zhong to control.

Their only problem right now is how to get into Professor Luo Hui's laboratory.

It would be difficult to replicate Ren Yisheng's violent methods. In fact, Ren Yisheng was currently unable to control his body and could not use the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique to attack Professor Luo Hui.

After going around in circles, everyone realized that apart from Ren Yisheng, few people could subdue Professor Luo Hui, let alone drag him to open the secret room.

It was impossible to get Professor Luo Hui to listen to the crowd.

"Maybe the committee will take Luo Zhong away after they find out something wrong," Ren Wuyang guessed.

"It's difficult," Ren Yisheng shook his head. "Few people would bother to rummage through Luo Hui's biological specimens in his lab. They're more interested in the experimental results and related records and reports!"

"What we're saying is, if we can't go to Professor Luo Hui's lab and we can't confirm the committee's actions during the investigation, can we at least define the nature of the matter?" Zhang Xuezhou suggested.

"How do we define it?" Ren Yisheng asked doubtfully.

"For example, we could send a message to Professor Song, asking him to find a pretext to take away Luo Zhong's head," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Song Bu'er can't withstand Luo Hui," Ren Yisheng shook his head and said, "He's still on the committee, but he's only in name. The only reason everyone's keeping him around is to make Song Bu'er pay back the debt Song Xianzong incurred for causing the explosion. Even if Song Bu'er causes trouble, Luo Zhong's head won't end up in Song Bu'er's hands!"

"If it falls into the hands of the committee, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for us to see Luo Zhonghui," Ren Anran said.

"Luo Zhong has no chance of falling into our hands," Ren Wuyang said. "We also can't afford Luo Hui's retaliation."

"Are we looking for Zhou Yueyan?"

The group didn't have many connections within the Sequence Committee; at most, they had some contact with the higher-ups. There wasn't anyone who belonged to their own faction and truly had the confidence to stand firmly on the Sequence Committee.

If any Lineage could withstand Luo Hui, establish a connection with Zhang Xuezhou and others, and even potentially see Luo Zhong again, then the only one the committee could do to search the scene Zhou Household.

"Luo Zhong's head might be slightly better off in Zhou Luo Hui's!"

After Zhang Xuezhou made his suggestion, Ren Yisheng couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Compared to using combat tactics against Professor Luo Hui, it's far safer to play the personal favor and relationship card.

Although the latter will also be troublesome, it is still safer than the former, which would lead to a complete breakdown in relations and retaliation from a cornered dog.

"Can Zhou Yueyan trust Brother Zhang?" Ren Wuyang asked doubtfully. "Won't she leak information?"

"I'll make up an excuse!"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a few seconds, then took out the visual instrument and drew a simple diagram, adding the caption, "My sister was electrocuted by this skull specimen in Professor Luo Hui's laboratory. I'm offering three million to buy a skull specimen that can conduct electricity."

"Hey Professor Zhou, I sent you a picture via communicator. No time? That picture could be exchanged for ten liters of vomiting medicine and you still don't have time?... Okay, I'll get back to you in a bit!"

Zhang Xuezhou was very experienced in doing these things, and he quickly came up with a safe and trouble-free reason in just a few seconds.

He hung up the call and waited for Zhou Yueyan's reply on the video recorder's communication software.

"I don't want three million, I want ten liters of vomiting medicine," Zhou Yueyan replied.

"Deal," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "But you can't let anyone other than members of your committee see this specimen, and don't say I'm buying this conductive head. When you take the specimen back, you can only fly it yourself. Keep it as secret as possible!"

"Seriously? Okay!"

Zhou Yueyan replied, and then the profile picture went dark.

"Once Zhou Yueyan discovers the head is alive, she won't use it to exchange for vomiting medicine with me," Zhang Xuezhou said, spreading his hands. "She should be very interested in this kind of thing. If Committee Member Zhou can realize that the head is the former Luo Zhong, they will also conduct continuous research."

"You're very reliable in handling matters!"

Ren Yisheng had to praise Zhang Xuezhou for reducing the difficulty of a nearly intractable problem with just a few words.

He felt that Zhang Xuezhou used all his intelligence in this area, and when it came to research on genetics, martial arts, and Mental Strengthening, he would just copy whatever he could find, without any spirit of exploration whatsoever.

"If we could obtain half of Luo Zhong's Mental Strengthening content, the professor might be able to race ahead on the path of Mental Strengthening!" Zhang Xuezhou said happily, "We could also benefit from it!"

Look at yourself!

Before Ren Yisheng could voice his inner complaints, Zhang Xuezhou revealed his true thoughts, just as Ren Yisheng had suspected—he had absolutely no research spirit.

He wanted to complain, but didn't know how, so he could only lie there pondering the seed of spiritual power.

"By the way, Luo Zhong said that the white jade lion at the entrance of the Gate of All Nations contains a soul jade that the Tuer tribe used to offer. You can check it out when you have time to see who took that soul jade home when they dismantled the palace!"

Ren Yisheng, recalling Luo Zhong's reminder, couldn't help but add another sentence.

Having witnessed the effect of combining Soul Jade with Law Power, and having also tested the effect of pure Law Power on the body, Ren Yisheng felt that his body was a ticking time bomb.

If there's a chance to salvage the situation, he certainly will.

If it can't be saved, he hopes Zhang Xuezhou can find a Soul Jade, and then let him seek the possibility of entrusting a new Soul Jade to it.

"After decades or even centuries, the artifacts of the Luofu Dynasty have probably all turned into ordinary stones, even the Soul Jade," Ren Wuyang complained.

"If it were buried underground, it might have been preserved," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I want to see who's so bold as to steal public property and get caught... I can't just handle this like an official matter!"

After this change of attitude, Ren Wuyang found himself with something new to do.

However, he couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache, as he felt this matter was not easy to handle.

While Soul Jade is far less valuable than Qin Meng Spirit Jade, it is also extremely rare and difficult to find, even being a unique offering of the Tuer tribe.

No one knows how Qin Meng obtained the Spirit Jade, nor does anyone understand why the Soul Jade only exists in the Tuer tribe.

Or perhaps there are many Soul Jade in the world, but only the Tuer clan collects them.

A variety of factors make Soul Jade not easy to obtain.

If they knew where to find reliable Soul Jade, they would definitely want to get their hands on it, even if it was just for backup.

"Speaking of which, Turkalando has discovered another type of long worm and acquired three new Soul Jade pieces," Zhang Xuezhou said. "However, she currently lacks prestige as the leader of the Turkal tribe, so we may need to lend her a hand to obtain the Soul Jade!"

"Help! Help! Help!" Ren Yisheng cried urgently, "My life hangs on the Soul Jade, I must help!"

"You never felt the Soul Jade suspending your life before, and you even tried every means to get back into your body," Zhang Xuezhou said sullenly.

"I feel like this body is unreliable!"

After using the power of the Righteous Qi Chapter, Ren Yisheng felt that his weight had likely increased by about two ounces, his physique was no longer as bulky as before, and the fat on his face even became a bit softer.

But Ren Yisheng still felt that his physical body was a ticking time bomb.

If he needed to settle down and study Mental Strengthening techniques, he felt that preparing a nest with Soul Jade wouldn't be too bad.

Even if his body really does fail, at least he has a chance to survive.

Correspondingly, Ren Yisheng has a relatively urgent need for Soul Jade as a backup measure.

"Then... after we finish dealing with Luo Zhong, shall we go to Turkalando?" Zhang Xuezhou hesitated. "But that worm is very risky. More than ten holy warriors have already died there. It might be even more troublesome than the centipede!"

"It's worth a try; it'll be a multi-pronged approach. If it proves too difficult, we can always give up," Ren Anran said. "We'll use our Yang Soul to investigate, which will reduce the risk."

"That works too!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement.

The next few days may be difficult to accomplish Luo Zhong's task; the journey will obviously take place when he returns to the other world.

He just treated it as moving around to fight a monster.

Having encountered millipedes, he was also curious about the strange creatures in the Tuer District. He felt that these creatures were not ferocious beasts, but they possessed unique abilities, as if they had embarked on a different path of evolution.
