The green light, like a dying flame in the cold wind, flashed across Li Yao's retina and then disappeared without a trace.
Li Yao held his breath, stretched out a spiritual thread, and probed into the reaction furnace.
But when passing through the gap, he encountered a strange existence like a film.
"Wave!"
As if a soap bubble had been punctured by him, a faint sigh came from the gap, and then, a series of small green light spots, like shining dandelion seeds, spurted out and danced in the wind under the night sky.
Li Yao was stunned.
He had never seen such a weird thing before.
It looks like transparent fireflies, bunches of fragile flowers, and more like a living flame demon.
They danced around Li Yao, their trajectory followed some unpredictable pattern, and seemed to send out a mysterious message.
Li Yao took out more spiritual threads from the spiritual roots and gently stabbed at the bunches of green fire.
"boom!"
In an instant, hundreds of fireballs of information exploded in his mind, causing him to "see" and "hear" countless things.
He seemed to be surrounded by tens of thousands of pictures at the same time.
Most of them are mysterious and complicated experiments and refining processes, but a small part are scenes where some people cheer and cry with joy.
"The Xuan Gu Plan is finally going to succeed!"
This sentence echoed repeatedly in Li Yao's mind.
What followed was bursts of heroic laughter.
He could even feel very strong pride, pride, excitement and relief.
"This is--" When Li Yao stood there blankly and spent a full hour digesting and absorbing all the information flow, he suddenly found that there were countless experimental data and refining methods related to the Xuangu Project in the depths of his memory.
The originally vague concepts and conjectures all became extremely clear, and every detail of the Xuan Gu plan was connected together.
Like a shining crystal mansion, it stood in his mind.
This feeling is like an inspiration to hundreds of people.
It exploded in his mind alone.
Brilliant fireworks exploded!
Looking at the sky again, the fireflies disappeared at some point.
Li Yao rubbed his cheek vigorously to make sure that this was definitely not an illusion.
He probed the spiritual thread into the reaction furnace again.
Hundreds of transparent fireflies became extremely weak and fell into a long period of death.
Li Yao could even clearly feel that spiritual energy was rapidly flowing away from them.
Perhaps it won't be long before these transparent fireflies will fall into pieces and disappear with the wind.
Li Yao's heart beat like a drum.
Vaguely feeling that he had discovered a huge secret, he hurriedly contacted his mentor through the micro-crystal.
Ten minutes later, Yuan Manqiu arrived at the scene.
She took the reaction cauldron, closed her eyes, and sank her mind into it, while listening to Li Yao tell what happened.
"Since more than half a year ago, I like to sit under the Mysterious Bone Armor statue and meditate, because here, my mind is particularly active.
My thoughts are very clear, and one after another thoughts that even scare me will pop up.
Then It feels like there are countless masters of weaponry discussing and communicating with me!”
"As time went by, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and I even had the illusion that the Mysterious Bone Armor was not a statue, let alone a wreck, but one, no, dozens of them.
Part 1 Hundreds of living people!”
"To this day, when I heard the instructors communicating about their progress, I found that everyone was stuck on refining the reactor cauldron."
"So I sat here again, thinking about this problem.
I thought that I might just dismantle the old reactor cauldron and carefully figure out its structure.
Maybe I can make some discoveries.
The result -" Li Yao told the story of the wonderful phenomenon he observed.
To his surprise, Yuan Manqiu's expression was neither surprise, joy, nor doubt, but a touch of sadness.

It was as if a scabbed wound had been torn open again, and painful memories that had been buried for a long time resurfaced.
Li Yao rarely saw such an expression on his teacher's face.
Yuan Manqiu always gave him the impression of being energetic, but once he encountered something big, he seemed calm and composed, with an extremely firm Taoist heart.
Therefore, although she is not the most accomplished among the grass-roots sect weapon refiners, so many grass-roots sect weapon refiners are still willing to advance the Xuangu Project under her leadership.
Li Yao had only seen such an expression on her face once.
It was the time when the floating mountain in the weapon refining department exploded and Professor Mo Xuan died.
"Teacher, do you feel it?"
Li Yao was a little nervous.
"No."
Yuan Manqiu shook his head slightly and said slightly bitterly.
"How come?"
Li Yao was stunned for a moment, took the reaction cauldron, and felt it again.
Although very faint, those hundreds of transparent fireflies were indeed there, emitting an extremely dim light.
I can feel it even though I am only in the Qi refining period.
The teacher is in the foundation building stage, there is no reason why he can’t feel it!
"I believe in your perception.
It is definitely not an illusion.
I think it should be a virtual spirit body."
Yuan Manqiu's voice was a little lonely.
"Void spirit body?"
Li Yao blinked.
He had heard of the term "Void Spirit Body" a little bit, but he didn't understand it in detail, and he had never encountered it in his previous cultivation path.
Yuan Manqiu seemed to have exhausted all his strength, holding on to the base of the mysterious bone armor, he slowly sat down and said calmly: "Have you seen a ghost?"
Li Yao nodded: "Of course I've seen ghosts.
I'm still good friends with many ghosts.
Besides, aren't there a few teachers in our school who are ghost cultivators?"
The good friends he mentioned were Ding Yin and Wei Qingqing.
A year and a half ago, on the way to the Great Wilderness Battle Academy, the crystal rail train encountered an outbreak of beasts.
Seven cultivators sacrificed their lives to protect an entire train of ordinary people.
In the end, only two cultivators' souls survived and were transformed into The ghost cultivators are Ding Yin and Wei Qingqing.
After Li Yao went to the Great Wilderness Battle Academy, the two of them also went to the Ghost Academy specially opened by the Federation for ghost cultivators to learn how to be ghosts.
After that, the two parties communicated frequently.
Li Yao and Ding Yin exchanged ideas on how to refine weapons, and occasionally read Wei Qingqing's latest pure literary masterpiece.
Their friendship continued to deepen.
A year later, Ding Yin and Wei Qingqing ended their studies at Yinhun Academy and went their separate ways.
Ding Yin joined the "Ghost Brigade", a unit specially set up for ghost cultivators in the federal army, and became an army weapon refiner, specializing in helping the ghost cultivators in the ghost brigade maintain their bodies.
Wei Qingqing also realized her dream and actually entered a primary school and became a primary school teacher.
But this elementary school is a little special.
All the students are children who died young.
Death is like a lamp going out, and not everyone has the opportunity to become a ghost.
Cultivators with powerful souls have a higher chance of turning into ghosts, while for ordinary people, the chance of turning into ghosts is very slim.
Among ordinary people, there are certain types of people who are more likely to become ghosts than the average person.
For example, people who were born or died at a specific time and place; people who died wearing red clothes; people with great resentment and persistence.
Another one is the child who died young.
Because the fire of life of children has just been ignited, the soul has not been over-consumed, and is purer than that of adults, so the probability of it remaining intact after death is higher.

In the ancient world of cultivation, the souls of children who died young were the best materials for cultivation.
Many crazy cultivators even deliberately kill children in cruel ways to obtain their ghosts to refine insidious magical weapons.
In modern times, the situation is of course different.
The Starry Federation's protection of ghost rights has almost been elevated to the same level as human rights.
Especially for the ghosts of young people who died before the age of 18, the "Xingyao Federation Minor Ghost Protection Act" was promulgated, which stipulates that minor ghosts have the same rights and obligations to receive education as minors.
Wei Qingqing went to such a school specifically for little ghosts.
She also sent Li Yao a photo of herself and the students in her class.
Of course, it's not like it was inside a puppet, but it was taken in a dark room, with the visible talisman array activated, and with a special crystal eye.
In the photo, Wei Qingqing and the children are like moving crystal statues, crystal clear and lifelike, and they are smiling happily.
Li Yao was also sincerely happy for her.
With these two friends, Li Yao is no stranger to ghosts and is not against them either.
But the transparent fireflies in the reactor cauldron don’t look like ghosts from any aspect!
"Void spirits are not ghosts in the usual sense, or you can think of them as ghosts in a lower dimension, ghosts in a two-dimensional state."
Yuan Manqiu said.
"Two-dimensional ghost?"
Li Yao really couldn't understand it.
Yuan Manqiu nodded: "Yes, ghosts are such things.
Although they are freed from the shackles of death, they still retain their self-awareness, know who they are, and remember most of what happened in the past."
"But this situation cannot last long."
"If you can't find your physical body, and you can't hide in a metal puppet through digital means, and you don't understand the secret method of ghost cultivation, then soon the ghost will decompose, melt, and collapse like ice and snow under the sun. ” "In this process, the first thing to lose is self-awareness, and you will forget who you are."
"The second loss is memory, the inability to remember past events."
"The last thing they lost was their persistence, which was something they always kept in mind and couldn't forget."
"Once the attachment is gone, once it's over, the ghost will completely disappear."
"However, if they are affected by external forces during this process, or their persistence is too strong, they may temporarily retain it through some special method, minimize the dissipation speed, and become a lower level The ghost of the dimension is the 'virtual spirit body'!"
"You can think of the ethereal body as one that has lost its self-awareness and memory, retaining only strong persistence and a trace of the idea of 'dying with eyes open'!"
