As if to validate Bai Qi’s guess, the rune puppet presented a brand new rune structure and flipped its body into a different look once Yi Yu fully inserted the key into it.
Hell, it actually hid another set of rune structures, I sold it at a loss.
I’m really still too young…
Bai Qi slapped his head in regret, admonishing himself internally.
If Luo Xiang’s guess was correct and his Rubik’s cube was also one of the keys to opening the secret realm, then Yi Yu would surely look for him. He would have to quote a higher price then.
At the very least, he had to make up for the difference in the price of the rune puppet.
Well, two mythical class materials should do it, that’s not too greedy.
As Bai Qi was silently setting his price, the rune puppet started moving, striking the mountainside continuously and scattering numerous shards of stone.
When the dust settled, a complex array diagram suddenly appeared on the mountainside.
“A new array again?”
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up at the sight, he pulled out Husky immediately to start recording.
The Gemini Tower was confirmed to have been from the era of the Law Emperor, the peak of humanities’ era of runes. These arrays could be helpful in building the Secret Realm Tower in the future.
After completing the array diagram, the rune puppet input some energy into one end of the array. The entire array lit up instantly, and the tall stone wall crumbled away, gradually revealing two towering structures.
“The Twin Towers again?”
Bai Qi was startled. If it weren’t for the fact that constellations did not exist in this world, he would have seriously suspected that the owner of this Secret Realm Tower was a Gemini.
“The character of a Gemini is the most changeable; I have a feeling this tower is going to be a problematic one.”
Soon, a pair of black and white towers appeared before Bai Qi and the others. In between the black and white towers was a two-toned gateway that connected both towers.
The rune puppet walked directly towards the gate after it appeared, its body twisting and morphing until it perfectly fit into the vacancy in the center of the double-colored gate. However, there was still a perfectly square hole in its chest.
“So, it is…”
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi was confident that the Rubik’s cube he held was indeed one of the components. It was clear that Yi Yu knew something too. He picked up the fallen red key, approached Bai Qi, and said, “It seems that the Tarot Crow’s divination was right. I was indeed able to find the key to unlocking the secret realm here.”
“Divination?”
Bai Qi was taken aback. Seeing his reaction, Bai Qiucha swiftly leaned in and whispered in his ear, ‘”Ill-omened Crow’ – Yi Yu – his pet is the rare temporal beast, Tarot Crow. It’s said to be able to predict the fate of others and even pets. It probably foresaw our meeting.”
“Is there really such an ability?”
Bai Qi’s eyes gleamed. He wished he could tear off a piece from Yi Yu’s Tarot Crow and add it to his own pet.
Temporal abilities! If he could get those, wouldn’t that be a huge win?
Bai Qi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. Without much ado, he directly took out the unfinished Rubik’s cube, asking, “Is this what Minister Yi was referring to?”
“Correct.”
Yi Yu smiled, looking at the Rubik’s cube in Bai Qi’s hand, and said, “Name your price.”
Seeing Yi Yu’s straightforward approach, Bai Qi also responded with a grin, “Three Mythical grade resources.”
“One specified Mythical grade resource.”
“Two Mythical grade resources.”
“One Mythical grade resource + a Seven Stage mechanical technique.”
“One Mythical grade resource + a Seven Stage mechanical technique + co-exploration rights.”
“Deal!”
Watching the two reach a deal at the speed of light, Bai Qiucha and Wang Huai exchanged looks.
Who else could negotiate with the notoriously unpredictable Yi Yu of the Thirteenth Bureau so brazenly, apart from the old hands in this game? Among the younger generation, it seemed only Bai Qi could.
Pleased with Bai Qi’s candid negotiation, Yi Yu handed Bai Qi an imprint, with six different rune patterns stamped on it. One of them even had a key-shaped gap-
Bai Qi paused, realizing that they were imprints Yi Yu’s team had taken from the rune puppet.
“Thanks.”
Once Bai Qi accepted the imprint and gave it to Schuck to scan, an image of the Rubik’s cube was projected. It was indeed the rune Rubik’s cube in Bai Qi’s hands.
With a reference item, Bai Qi’s efficiency in solving the Rubik’s cube increased dramatically. After carefully observing it for a while, Bai Qi started to show off his skills. His fingers flipped nimbly, leaving afterimages that Wang Huai and others could actually see.
After becoming a Four Stage Beast Master, both Bai Qi’s spirit power and physique underwent qualitative changes, which was one reason he could come up with the first version of the Spirit-Control Orb within a single night.
The Four Stage Beast Masters were called Morning Star Beast Masters for a reason.
Soon enough, Bai Qi completed the rune Rubik’s cube. With a flash of light, the Rubik’s cube finally solidified into a metallic cube.
Bai Qi carefully recorded the runes on all six faces of the Rubik’s cube, before he walked over to the rune puppet and plugged it into the hole in its chest. The two pieces joined perfectly without leaving any visible cracks.
“The rest is up to you, Minister Yi.”
Yi Yu came forward, inserted the key into the hole on the Rubik’s Cube, and a ray of red energy instantly flowed from the cube, washing over the entire gate in an instant. The whole Secret Realm Tower was activated in a flash.
“Bai Qi, will you go first?”
Yi Yu graciously stepped aside, signaling Bai Qi to go first. However, Bai Qi kept waving his hands, saying, “I only have the right to explore it together with you. The ownership of this tower still belongs to the Thirteenth Bureau, so Minister Yi, you should go in first.”
The second set of Gemini Towers was so complicated, even opening the door was a hassle. Who knew what would be inside? He wasn’t about to be the one to find out first.
“That’s true. If anything happened to you, Bai Qi, Bai Chuanqi wouldn’t let me off the hook.”
Thanks to Chun Yushui’s aggressive promotion, the news of Bai Heguang taking Bai Qi as his disciple wasn’t widely known, but the Thirteenth Bureau, as a special department of the Federation, was in the know.
Seeing Bai Qi unwilling to be the first one to enter, Yi Yu turned to Li Xusheng, who was ready behind him, and said, “Xusheng, you go and check it out first. But remember, don’t be careless.”
“Yes.”
Li Xusheng nodded silently, immediately transformed into the four-armored mode, pushed open the Secret Realm Gate, and strode in. As he did, runes lit up on the black tower on the left.
“Like the Tower of Gratitude, pass the black tower first and then the white tower.”
Bai Qi looked at the black tower, then at the unresponsive white tower. Just as he was about to enter, Bai Qiucha suddenly walked up to him.
“Let me go first.”
Bai Qiucha’s gaze swept over the stable, flickering runes on the first layer of the black tower, a trace of battle intent flashed in his eyes.
The last time the two of them challenged the Tower of Gratitude together, even though Bai Qi overtook him halfway, their competition wasn’t over.
If they hadn’t run into each other, it would have been fine, but now they had, they had to decide a winner.
Seeing Bai Qiucha step forward, the Blood Scythe Wraith instinctively wanted to stop him. After all, this was an unknown secret realm. If anything happened to Bai Qiucha, it would be impossible for it to explain to its Beast Master.
“It’s ok, let him go.”
At this time, the Jiuyou Darkbird descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone.
“Teacher.”
“Dad.”
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha immediately greeted Bai Heguang, Bai Heguang nodded slightly, looked at Yi Yu, and asked, “Minister Yi, are you sure this is the Law Emperor’s Secret Realm?”
Yi Yu shook his head and said, “We can only be sure that this is from the Era of the Law Emperor. Who exactly it belongs to can only be known after we explore it.”
“Hmm.”
Bai Heguang nodded, then looked at Bai Qiucha and said, “Go ahead.”
Bai Qiucha nodded and stepped into the gate, not into the black tower as Bai Qi predicted, but into the white tower.
“No wonder the two towers appeared together. So it’s a random choice of where to enter.”
Looking at the simultaneously flashing Black and White Towers, Bai Qi understood. He was about to go in and take a look, but was stopped by Bai Heguang.
“I heard that you’ve been tinkering with a device that can sign contracts with pets regardless of contractual positions? It’s called Spirit-Control Orb?”
Upon hearing Bai Heguang’s question, Bai Qi grudgingly looked at the Blood Scythe Wraith floating behind Bai Heguang.
He had forgotten that the Blood Scythe Wraith was always with them, as Bai Heguang’s pet, there was no way Bai Heguang wouldn’t know about their adventures these days.
Thinking that he had used his own teacher’s son for an experiment, Bai Qi felt guilty.
Fortunately, he had previously confirmed the problem with Bai Qiucha’s contract position. Otherwise, he estimated that he would have been beaten to death directly by Bai Heguang.
“A device that ignores contract position?”
Yi Yu’s eyebrows raised, seemingly getting interested as well. Tang Miao and the others also moved closer, curiously staring at Bai Qi.
“Ahem, I was just fiddling around, and it’s only a preliminary version anyway, there are still a lot of problems with it.”
Bai Qi scratched his head, hoping to dismiss the matter.
However, Bai Heguang didn’t seem to be planning on letting Bai Qi off so easily, asking, “Do you still have a finished product with you?”
Bai Qi, feeling a bit awkward, looked at Yi Yu and the others next to him, and obediently took one out and handed it to Bai Heguang.
Bai Heguang took the Spirit-Control Orb, looked it over roughly, and a touch of surprise flashed across his usually indifferent face. He then glanced at the Blood Scythe Wraith nearby. The Blood Scythe Wraith understood instantly, disappeared into the shadows, and reappeared with a Wind Snake.
Held by the mythical creature, the Wind Snake had even lost the ability to tremble and was simply frozen, like a popsicle.
“Just input your spirit power here, then smash it on the Wind Snake, hmm, it’s better to make the Wind Snake lose its ability to resist and consciousness.”
“Lose consciousness?”
Bai Heguang nodded slightly, glanced at the wind snake, and the wind snake instantly fainted.
Holy shit! Even a ferocious beast is scared to death.. Teacher, you’re so
awesome!
