The green light, like a wisp of flame about to be extinguished in the cold wind, flashed across Li Yao's retina and disappeared without a trace.

Li Yao held his breath, stretched out a spiritual silk, and penetrated into the reactor cauldron.

But as he was traveling through the gap, he encountered a strange existence like a thin film.

"Wave!"

It was as if a soap bubble was pierced by him, and a faint sigh came from the gap. Then, a series of small green spots of light, like shiny dandelion seeds, squirting out, dancing in the wind under the night sky.

Li Yao was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a strange thing before.

It is like both transparent fireflies, and bushes of weak flowers, and more like a flame demon spirit with life.

They danced around Li Yao, and their trajectory had some uncertain rules, as if they were sending a mysterious message.

Li Yao poked out more spiritual silk from his spiritual roots and gently stabbed them into the bunches of green fires.

"boom!"

In an instant, hundreds of groups of information fires 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 complex experiments and weapon refining processes, and a small part is a scene where some people cheer and cry with joy.

"The Xuan Bone Plan, ∞↓ is finally going to succeed!"

This sentence echoed repeatedly in Li Yao's mind.

There were bursts of heroic laughter followed.

He could even feel a strong sense of pride, pride, excitement and relief.

"This is--"

When Li Yao stood there and took an hour to digest and absorb all the information flow, he suddenly found that there were countless experimental data and refining methods in his memory.

The originally vague concepts and conjectures became extremely clear, and every detail of the Xuanbone Plan was connected together. It was like a shining crystal building standing in his mind.

This feeling was like the inspiration of hundreds of people. In his mind, it exploded and burst out with dazzling fireworks!

Look at the sky again. The fireflies disappeared at some point.

Li Yao rubbed his cheeks hard, making sure that all this was definitely not an illusion.

He once again stumbled the spirit silk into the reactor cauldron.

Hundreds of transparent fireflies became extremely weak and fell into a long dead silence. Li Yao could even clearly feel that the spiritual energy was passing rapidly from them.

Perhaps it won't take long before these transparent fireflies will be broken and disappear with the wind.

Li Yao's heartbeat was like a drum, and he vaguely felt that he had discovered a great secret, so he hurriedly contacted the instructor through the micro crystal brain.

Ten minutes later, Yuan Manqiu arrived at the scene.

She took the reactor cauldron, closed her eyes, and sank her spiritual thoughts into it, and listened to Li Yao telling everything that happened.

"Since half a year ago, I like to sit under the Xuanbone Battle Armor statue and meditate, because here, my mind is very active. My thoughts are particularly clear, and one thought after another will pop up. That feeling is like there are countless masters of weapon refining, discussing and communicating with me!"

"As time goes by, this feeling becomes stronger and stronger, and I even have an illusion that the Xuanbone Battle Armor is not a statue, nor a wreckage, but a, no, dozens or hundreds of living people!"

"Until today, when I heard the mentors communicate the progress, I found that everyone was stuck in the refining of the reactor cauldron."

"So I sat here again, thinking about this question, thinking that I might as well just remove the old reactor cauldron and carefully examine its structure, and maybe I could find out, and the result-"

Li Yao told the wonderful phenomenon he had observed.

To his surprise, Yuan Manqiu's expression was neither surprised nor joy nor doubt, but a faint sadness.

It seemed as if a scabbed wound was torn apart again, and the long-sanctified painful memory surfaced again.

Li Yao rarely sees such expressions on his teacher's face.

Yuan Manqiu always gives him the feeling that he is full of vigor. Once he encounters a big event, he seems calm and calm, and his heart is extremely firm.

So although she is not the highest cultivation among the grassroots weapon refiners, so many grassroots weapon refiners are still willing to promote the Xuanbone plan under her leadership.

Li Yao only saw this expression on her face once.

It was the time when the weapon refining system exploded and Professor Mo Xuan died.

"Teacher, have you sensed it?"

Li Yao was a little nervous.

"No."

Yuan Manqiu shook his head gently and said with a little bitterness.

"How could it be?"

Li Yao was stunned, took the reactor and cauldron, and felt it again.

Although it was very weak, the hundreds of transparent fireflies were indeed there, emitting an extremely dim light.

I can sense it even if I am just in the Qi Refining Period.

The teacher is in the foundation-building stage, and there is no reason not to be able to perceive it!

"I believe your perception is definitely not an illusion. I think it should be a virtual spirit."

Yuan Manqiu's voice was a little lonely.

"Void spirit body?"

Li Yao blinked his eyes.

He has heard of the term "Void Spirit Body", but he has not learned in detail. He has never encountered it in the past practice.

Yuan Manqiu seemed to have overdrawn his entire body, holding the base of the Xuanbone Battle Armor, slowly sat down and said lightly:

"Have you seen a ghost?"

Li Yao nodded:

"Of course I have seen ghosts. I am good friends with many ghosts. Besides, there are 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 War Courtyard, the crystal rail train encountered a tide of beasts. Seven cultivators sacrificed their lives to protect the entire train of ordinary people. In the end, only two cultivators' souls were preserved and transformed into ghost cultivators, namely Ding Yin and Wei Qingqing.

After Li Yao went to the Great Wilderness War Academy, the two of them also went to the Holy Academy specially opened for ghost cultivators in the Federation to learn how to be ghosts.

Since then, the two sides have often communicated, and Li Yao and Ding Yin exchanged ideas on how to refine weapons. Occasionally, they would also read Wei Qingqing's latest pure literature masterpiece, and their friendship continued to deepen.

A year later, Ding Yin and Wei Qingqing finished their studies at Yinhun Academy and went their separate ways.

Ding Yin joined the federal army and specially set up a "Ghost Brigade" for ghost cultivators, becoming an army weapon refiner, specifically helping ghost cultivators in the ghost brigade to maintain their bodies.

Wei Qingqing also realized her dream and really entered a primary school and became a primary school teacher.

However, this primary school is a bit special, and all the students are children who die prematurely.

People die like lamps going out, not everyone has the chance to become ghosts.

A cultivator with a strong soul has a higher chance of becoming a ghost, while for ordinary people, the chance of becoming a ghost is slim.

Among ordinary people, there are several types of people who have a higher chance of becoming ghosts than ordinary people.

For example, people born or died at a specific time or place; people who die in red clothes; people with great resentment and persistence.

Another one is the child who died prematurely.

Because the fire of life of a child has just been ignited and the soul has not been over-consuming, it is purer than that of an adult, so the probability of being kept intact after death is higher.

In the ancient world of cultivation, the souls of children who died prematurely were the best materials for cultivation.

Many crazy cultivators even deliberately use cruel means to kill children, obtain ghosts, and refine evil magic weapons.

In modern times, the situation is of course different.

The Starry Federation's protection of ghost rights has almost been raised to the same level as human rights.

Especially the ghosts of young people who died before the age of 18 have even issued the "Starry and Ghost Protection Law on the Protection of Minor Ghosts", which stipulates that minor ghosts, like minors, have the right and obligation to receive education.

Wei Qingqing went to such a school specially opened for the little ghost.

She also sent Li Yao a photo, which was a photo of her and the students in her class.

Of course, it was not like being trapped inside a puppet, but was activated in a dark room, and then photographed with special crystal eyes.

In the photo, Wei Qingqing and the children are like crystal statues in activities, crystal clear and lifelike, and they are so happy that they smile.

Li Yao was also sincerely happy for her.

With these two friends, Li Yao is not unfamiliar with ghosts and does not conflict with them.

But the transparent fireflies in the reactor cauldron do not look like ghosts from any aspect!

"The virtual spirits are not ghosts in the usual sense, or you can understand them as ghosts in a lower dimension, ghosts in two-dimensional state."

Yuanman Qiu Road.

"Two-dimensional ghost?"
