My beast can't be a demon.

Returning to Xin'an Beast Taming Academy again, Zhou Lu couldn't help but sigh at the familiar scenery in front of him.

Although he had been busy with the cultivation and evolution of Fireworks, so that he had not stayed in the academy for a long time, and had not even enjoyed these scenery, Zhou Lu still couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

It was the time for freshman classes, and there were basically no people in the academy.

With the official opening of a batch of new secret realms recently, all beast masters went to explore new secret realms for new opportunities, especially those in school.

Zhou Lu originally wanted to meet with old classmates before going to the senior sister's laboratory.

After asking around, he found out that Xu Wuhu had gone to the Pioneer Army for internship, and Li Yi had gone home to inherit the family property, so he couldn't meet them.

Fortunately, Zhou Lu didn't have too many feelings, after all, he had more important things to do now.

Walking into the senior sister's office, she was sorting things out.

Looking at the pile of various sundries in front of him, Zhou Lu looked at Xiao Xi beside him in confusion: "What is Sister Xiaoqing doing?"

Xiao Xi yawned, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

Yesterday, her mother used her body to "fight" with Wu Xiaoqing, and the wall was worn away.

The result was naturally that Qiu Dao Mu won - even if it borrowed the body of its own fruit, it was still a divine beast.

So Wu Xiaoqing, as the defeated general, got up early this morning and started to sort out various results.

Wu Xiaoqing's research is very casual.

Many studies that she is not interested in, even if they have results, she often throws them aside and then completely forgets them.

Generally, she will only remember these forgotten results when someone asks her about related needs.

In her opinion, these results have not yet completed a set of standard research processes, and naturally they are not up to the standard for publication.

There are too many similar results on Wu Xiaoqing's side.

Of course, many of these results are indeed useless from the perspective of the time, but as time changes, they often produce miraculous effects.

"Is Xiao Lu here?" Wu Xiaoqing heard Zhou Lu's voice in the pile of documents and asked with her head out.

Then she saw Qiu Daomu on Zhou Lu's shoulder.

"Really? You're here again. I promised you to sort out these things." Wu Xiaoqing complained.

Zhou Lu looked at Qiu Daomu in surprise: "What did you do to her?"

"Nothing." Qiu Daomu explained, "I just gave her a small task."

As the founder of the general knowledge fairy system, Qiu Daomu still has a little power in his hands.

For example, depriving someone of the right to use the general knowledge fairy.

Of course, Qiu Daomu is not an arbitrary tyrant.

Wu Xiaoqing sorted out these unfinished research materials and notified the general knowledge fairy. There are also rewards.

According to Qiu Daomu, it will increase Wu Xiaoqing's query permissions in the future.

Because the senior sister has never had a high professional title, the information permissions she can access from Xiaoxi are actually limited.

This is not that Qiu Daomu intends to restrict humans from obtaining the information in its knowledge base. The research institution is the one who really established the permission system.

But the Qiudao Wood has the power to adjust permissions.

"So, senior sister, do you really have a way to solve the problem of the Qiudao Wood?" Zhou Lu remembered the main purpose of this trip and asked quickly.

Hearing Zhou Lu's question, Wu Xiaoqing temporarily put down the work in her hands: "No."

"Then you..."

"I just guarantee that it will not die, which is not a solution to the problem anyway." As a scientist, Wu Xiaoqing is very rigorous.

Solving a problem and guaranteeing immortality are two completely different things.

The Qiudao Wood is already terminally ill.

The backlash caused by wrong knowledge has made its body like a candle in the wind.

If it continues to spread, the body of the Qiudao Wood may not even be qualified as a soul container.

While Wu Xiaoqing was talking, she took out a small jar from the corner.

Unlike other jars containing spores, this jar contains a complete mushroom.

The purple and white colors carry a hint of ghostly aura.

There seems to be a layer of mist lingering around the mushroom.

No, it's not a weapon.

It seems to be some kind of soul.

Hua Huo, who was very curious about all kinds of mushrooms, ran over and held the jar with her vines when she saw this.

"Hey? They look so familiar." Hua Huo looked at the mist lingering around the mushrooms and said in confusion.

"It was originally cultivated with the residual souls of the immortals you caught." Wu Xiaoqing seemed very proud, "I spent a lot of effort to cultivate this guy."

Hua Huo actually caught a lot of residual souls of immortals in the ancient city of the fairy world.

After these residual souls were absorbed by it, some ghost-like mist would still remain.

Out of curiosity, Hua Huo collected these things and packed them up and gave them to Wu Xiaoqing as research materials.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaoqing turned around and used these things to cultivate a mushroom that looked very underworld but inexplicably beautiful.

Hua Huo seemed to think that this mushroom was very novel and looked eager to try it.

Wu Xiaoqing, who already knew Hua Huo very well, didn't know what Hua Huo's state meant? She almost immediately pulled out another jar and handed it to Hanabi's vine, "This one can't be touched. You should just play with it."

The new jar also contained a mushroom, but it was pure white.

After sending away Hua Huo, Wu Xiaoqing began to introduce the mushroom in her hand.

According to Wu Xiaoqing, the main purpose of her research at that time was actually to develop a mushroom that could produce harmless ghosts regularly.

"Wait! Are you planning to create an artificial ghost?" Zhou Lu couldn't help but interrupt Wu Xiaoqing.

Just hearing this beginning, Zhou Lu felt that the research of the senior sister was a bit too outrageous.

Now, the academic community has generally recognized that ghosts are an independent attribute, and spirit beasts with ghost attributes often show similar characteristics.

However, there is still a lot of controversy in the academic community about how ghost spirit beasts were born.

"Oh, no." Wu Xiaoqing scratched his head, "A haunted house gave me an order to make a prop that can produce harmless ghosts... This is the failed product of this order."

"Don't make such a supermodel species for such an outrageous reason, damn!" Zhou Lu's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know how to evaluate the unreliability of the senior sister.

Wu Xiaoqing asked in confusion: "Why is this tool so outrageous?"

"It's outrageous in every way. It simply overturns cognition."

Many ghost beasts have the ability to devour other ghosts to become stronger, but because the number of ghost beasts is too small, they have never been able to use it.

Hua Huo has learned such a skill. He thought it was another immortal skill at the time, but found that this bonus was not as outrageous as the [Immortal], and it did not have the palpitation of the [Immortal] that made him feel.

Of course, this kind of swallowing-type strengthening ability is not without a price.

This kind of skill of swallowing ghosts to strengthen itself often absorbs the other party's memory and emotions in the process of swallowing ghosts.

Fear, anger, mania, sadness...

If the ghost is the unwilling soul of the dead beast, then these negative emotions are almost inevitable. Long-term use of this skill to strengthen its own existence will inevitably turn into a schizophrenic lunatic.

"Don't say so much, anyway, you didn't succeed." Zhou Lu came back to his senses and said.

Wu Xiaoqing's voice came again: "Who said it didn't succeed."

"Ah?" Zhou Lu was stunned.

Then Wu Xiaoqing raised her hand and pointed to a place not far away: "This is what Hua Huo is holding."

Hua Huo was holding the jar.

The lid of the jar had been opened.

On the pure white mushrooms, tiny white ghosts flew out.

Hua Huo was like an anteater squatting at the exit of an anthill, eating one by one happily, as if he was a child eating popcorn happily.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar first releases this novel.

"..."

Zhou Lu was silent for a while.

He still underestimated his senior sister.

Seeing Hua Huo being so greedy, Wu Xiaoqing immediately reminded him: "Don't eat so fast, the culture medium in the jar can't afford such consumption."

At the same time, Zhou Lu had also sensed the changes in Hua Huo.

The ghost's skills were indeed taking effect.

However, these ghosts produced by mushrooms were indeed completely harmless creatures as Wu Xiaoqing said, so that Hua Huo's strength basically did not change after eating them, and it could only be regarded as satisfying the desire for food.

Zhou Lu suddenly had an idea for no reason: If the senior sister developed a ghost-producing mushroom that could replace the feeling of devouring the same kind, could those immortals not need to succumb to the desire brought by the [Immortal] skill?

However, Zhou Lu immediately rejected this idea.

[Immortal] is not so easy to satisfy.

Both sugar and poison are addictive, but the harm of the latter is far greater than the former.

Judging from the emotions reflected by Hua Huo, it didn't feel that this thing was so delicious, but just thought it was fun.

Zhou Lu didn't dwell too much on this matter, and he turned his eyes back to the purple-white mushroom in Wu Xiaoqing's hand.

"Can this thing make the Seeking Dao Wood immortal?"

"It can turn fast creatures into ghosts." Wu Xiaoqing's words directly silenced Zhou Lu.

Turning into a ghost...

In a sense, it did save the Seeking Dao Wood's life.

But what is the price?

The Seeking Dao Wood will lose its body and the strength of the divine beast, just like the residual souls of the immortals in the ancient city of the fairy world.

"Wow, doesn't that mean that as long as we have it, all dying people can turn into ghosts?" Qiu Dao Mu didn't care at all, but looked at the mushroom in Wu Xiaoqing's hand with interest.

It seemed to be thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

If the results of this research were made public, then those powerful people would definitely go crazy to grab it. After the wise men in the family gained a long life, a family would also be able to continue for a long time.

Such a result will inevitably lead to further tearing of society.

Moreover, if this mushroom is fully popularized, a large number of ghosts will occupy the world and waste a lot of energy.

"I know what you are thinking." Wu Xiaoqing is just unreliable, not unintelligent.

She can guess what Qiu Dao Mu is entangled with from his expression.

"It is the product of the mutation of the white mushroom just now in a high-concentration soul energy environment." Wu Xiaoqing introduced, "I put almost all the soul matter that Hua Huo brought back into it, and then mutated into such a mushroom."

"In other words, there will be no second mushroom of this kind?" Zhou Lu asked.

Wu Xiaoqing shook her head and answered with the rigor of a scientist: "I can only say that the environment where it was born can no longer be found, but it may not be the case in the future. You also know that the environment with high concentration of soul energy can still be reproduced in theory."

When Wu Xiaoqing said "in theory", it was really just in theory.

"However, a ghost that inherits memory will consume a lot of energy to maintain its own existence." Qiu Daomu was actually very tempted by Wu Xiaoqing's plan.

It actually doesn't care whether its strength is retained.

It doesn't even care whether it can survive.

But it always worries that after it is gone, the era created by its master will run wild on the road of location.

This is actually a very normal mentality.

After being a parent for a long time, when the children go out to live independently, they will inevitably worry that they will learn bad things.

Qiu Daomu is a divine beast.

If you want it to remain conscious and have complete memory after transforming into a ghost, the energy required is not simply said.

At least the ghost produced by the white mushroom just now can never afford such consumption.

"Master! Master!" At this moment, Zhou Lu heard the joyful cry of Hua Huo.

Looking in the direction of Hua Huo, he saw that the jar had been overturned at some point.

The mushroom inside was bitten by something.

Looking at the tail behind Hua Huo, Zhou Lu didn't know who the culprit was.

Stealing the test product again...

Zhou Lu was about to scold her when he saw a pure white bubble suddenly appear on Hua Huo's vine.

As the bubble grew bigger, it began to break away from Hua Huo's vine.

Puff~!

A subtle sound came, and then a cute little ghost appeared in front of everyone.

"Master! Look! I can blow bubbles!" Hua Huo said excitedly.

It did the same thing, and soon created a circle of ghosts around itself.

Looking at Hua Huo surrounded by ghosts, Zhou Lu had an idea in his mind.

Obviously, the other people actually had similar ideas.

They looked at each other and soon smiled tacitly.

Hua Huo is a divine beast.

Even if it still produces ordinary ghosts that are harmless and powerless, the energy contained in them is not comparable to that of the white mushroom.

In other words, the stable energy source that will keep the soul of Qiu Dao Mu alive has been found.

"Speaking of which, I have another unwelcome request." Wu Xiaoqing spoke up to break the tacit silence.

She looked at Qiu Dao Mu, rubbed her fingers, and grinned:

"Since you are going to die anyway, can you give me your body? I'll use it as a rootstock for mushroom cultivation."
