Su Lu looked around.
In the void, all kinds of dazzling brilliance came pressing in.
Many chaotic mental secret realms, connecting different people, brought experiences of joy, sadness, calm, worry, madness and so on.
Next to his ear, there were chaotic and low murmurs.
All kinds of information entered through his eyes, ears, and even his mind, almost driving him insane!
In the blink of an eye…
Everything around him vanished, and a terrifying vortex emerged in front of him.
A pair of woman’s hands reached out from the vortex, clutching his neck!
Su Lu let out a low groan, woke up, and took off the hat covering his face.
“Sir… are you okay?”
Opposite him, a passenger asked curiously and with a touch of worry.
“Thank you, I just… had a nightmare!”
Su Lu politely thanked him. The continuous vibrations of the steam train wheels rubbing against the tracks reached his feet. Outside the window, sceneries were rapidly passing by.
Only then did he remember that he had already left Green Tree Castle and had randomly bought a train ticket heading to the Central Federation.
‘Was that nightmare too real. Was it a warning from my subconscious?’ After calming down, Su Lu became silent, contemplating the oddity that just happened.
‘This suggests…the Spirit World indeed contains dangers, and it’s highly likely to come from that pair of woman’s hands. Could they signify Beryl?’
The sensing from the Mental Realm is two-way. Since Su Lu could sense Beryl’s location, Beryl could also locate him in return.
‘Therefore from now on… I cannot stay in the same place for too long and… it’s best that I study some techniques to block the mind… which is just a supplemental ability of the [Mystical Scholar], I can train and improve over time.’
‘Furthermore… I can be sure that Beryl has not advanced to the legendary level of [King of the Undead]. If she advanced to the level of Legend, she could most likely curse me, her ‘master’, through the master-servant contract!’
‘So, the previous plan needs to be slightly modified. I shouldn’t suppress my professional rank, instead, I should continue reaping experience points, ensuring I am always in a state of being able to level up?
This was also one of the reasons why Lu Su left Green Tree Castle.
Without a Mystic Lock, the Inner Circle has lost its tortoise shell, the possibility of infiltration increases exponentially, his safety is hard to guarantee, especially under the premise that such a heretical Saintess is watching him!
In addition to this, there was no more room for him to grow from combat in the Inner Circle, even the books in the library that came with experience points, he had almost read them all.
Even, there was a bit of overstepping the line.
‘Sneaking to the fifth floor to browse master-class job information is not going to be fun once exposed…’
Although he took leave under the guise of lingering spirits, in reality, Su Lu had no plans to return.
Unless… he advances to the legendary profession in the future, then the previous matters were trivial things, and the Green Tree Castle might actively welcome his return.
“Lunch! Drinks!”
At this time, a female attendant pushed a cart and walked through the narrow corridor.
It was mealtime. Although there was a dedicated dining car in the steam train, it was obviously for the use of the upper-class people.
As commoners and middle-class people, most of them brought their own food — because the lunch provided by the steam train, following tradition, was extremely unappetising and expensive!
But Su Lu was in a hurry, so he wasn’t prepared. He could only say, “Get me a sandwich!”
“10 copper elves!”
The price was three times more expensive than outside. Su Lu endured it, took the sandwich, took a bite, and felt that the taste was average. But at this time, filling his stomach was already good.
The destination of his trip was Kangni State in the central part of the federation, located slightly west of the heart of the federation. It had a large area and sparse population. It was said to have some settlements of native Gaosuo people. Famous for its gold mines, it once had a gold rush. Towns developed from gold mining points were scattered on the vast desert and plains terrain. The law and order were chaotic, vendettas were rampant, and cowboy culture was prevalent.
Choosing this place, Su Lu naturally had his intentions.
First of all, the chaotic law and order made it convenient for him to create a false identity.
In an era when photography was not widely spread, he could also play the time-difference game.
Next, it was to avoid the influence of the Black Death Society in the west and the chaos in the east.
In addition, with loose laws, the prevalence of cowboys and gunmen, it was easier for him to reap experience.
“I heard… Gaosuo people hold some transcendent powers, perhaps I can witness it, and it also facilitates the collection of transcendent materials…”
This was one of the great gains he got from reading leisure books. The Gaosuo indigenous people’s transcendent professional pathway tended towards spellcasters. The chance of obtaining a recipe related to spiritual power was very high.
In addition to this, there were also some materials for making marvellous items. He couldn’t blatantly collect these in the Inner Circle, but in the external world, there was less restriction.
After finishing the sandwich, Su Lu stretched lazily, covered his face with his hat again, and began to soul trance!
In the blink of an eye!
His spirit quickly leaped and entered the second layer of the Spirit World!
This is a mysterious place, except for the very few people with related professions, even the Inner Circle did not have much in-depth research on it! “Very good… It seems that the people around me are indeed ordinary people!”
Through the observation of the mental secret realms around him, Su Lu quickly reached a conclusion.
Ordinary people’s mental secret realms, in terms of appearance, are far from as vast as the floating islands of professionals — of course, some high-ranking people can disguise, but that requires at least two more professional ranks than Su Lu. With such power, why bother to disguise?
“Observing Transcendents from the spiritual world is also a covert probing method, isn’t it?”
Su Lu looked at himself.
At this time, he had turned into a Death Crow, wearing a black trench coat and a crow mask.
Having some gains at this time while traveling in the mental world: “Whether it’s ordinary people or professionals, as long as they don’t possess the ability to touch the second layer of the mental world, their subconscious can only be in their own secret realm, and can’t take a step out…unless they rely on certain secret techniques or external forces…”
Of course, the subconscious of ordinary people, even if it is in their own secret realm, is still weak.
While professionals have the power to counterattack. The secret realms of high-ranking professionals, even if they were in front of Lu Su, he wouldn’t dare to rush in now, such was the difference!
“Every person’s subconscious mind is connected with the vast sea of the mental world… How can this connection be blocked?”
Su Lu started to explore it.
This is, in fact, the innate ability of Spirit Medium and other spiritual professions. Though it’s not as easy as eating and drinking, it is like swimming, an ability that can be mastered as long as you learn it.
At this time, he was like refining the secret realm, combining the subconscious with the secret realm, forming a spiritual body that could now roam freely in the mental world.
“Complete isolation is impossible, but the ‘vibe’ can be altered… Beryl’s professional pathway, it doesn’t seem to be purely a spiritual profession, but capable of touching the Spirit World… It seems that she uses death as a springboard, doesn’t she?”
When it comes to Spirit World-related aspects, Su Lu is confident. He is certainly more professional than Beryl, who dabbles in it! Once the level is high enough, this will be his home field!
