　　"Strange spirit root? What is a strange spirit root? A bizarre spirit root? You're researching spirit roots?"

　　"No, we are restoring the effects of the [Strange Spirit Root]. I also heard it from others. I heard that as long as you have the [Strange Spirit Root], you can possess both bizarre and human powers at the same time! However, the [Strange Spirit Root] is just a legend, so we are following the path of legends to create new legends!"

　　The more Qing Chen spoke, the more excited he became, like a salesman on steroids, full of motivation. It seemed that the idea of creating a legend was something he yearned for very much.

　　Fang Yue, on the other hand, was frowning and thinking.

　　Strange spirit root…

　　The last time he took the [Fierce Yuan Pill] and stimulated his potential, Fang Yue's eyes turned black and flowed with black blood, showing signs of becoming bizarre.

　　But he was able to consciously control his body. Although he didn't feel anything at the time, it might be because the bizarre aspect was too weak, so the bonus wasn't obvious. But was there actually a bonus?

　　At the time, Fang Yue had wondered if he had some kind of bizarre spirit root, and had even asked Ni Dongmei about it. But he was told that it was due to the potential-stimulating pill. The [bizarre element] content in the synthesized medicinal materials was excessive, which was why it turned out that way.

　　So Fang Yue had completely given up on the fantasy that he had a spirit root.

　　But now, hearing Qing Chen mention the term [Strange Spirit Root], Fang Yue's mind suddenly became active. Thinking back to the situation at the time, he began to doubt Ni Dongmei's words…

　　He took out the [Horizon Pill] from his pocket, his eyes flashing with contemplation.

　　"Should I experiment…"

　　After thinking for a while, Fang Yue slowly put away the pill.

　　It couldn't be wasted here. A pill used when risking his life should be saved for when he really needs it, so he can verify his idea at that time.

　　And even if he didn't have the chance to use it in the Phoenix stronghold, he could use it after returning to Qing Si County, when he was safe.

　　Also… Qing Chen didn't know about the strange spirit root, but Lord Han… should know something about it, right?

　　At that time, after being lectured by Ni Dongmei, Fang Yue had completely believed her words.

　　In addition, he found out about the Wu Yu tribe's planned attack not long after returning to Gu Yue Village, so he couldn't care about anything else.

　　By the time Gu Yue Village was destroyed, Fang Yue had long forgotten about it.

　　If Qing Chen hadn't mentioned the [Strange Spirit Root], Fang Yue, who didn't even know the name and concept, wouldn't have thought of anything about a strange spirit root, even after hearing a lot about the combination of bizarre and human.

　　Fang Yue asked a few more questions and learned that the experimental subjects researched by the Phoenix organization were actually all developing in the direction of the [Strange Spirit Root].

　　Qing Chen even speculated with longing that the ultimate goal of the Phoenix organization might be to create a new existence with effects similar to the strange spirit root, a combination of human and bizarre, to comprehensively improve the lower and upper limits of human beings, completely surpass the bizarre, save humanity, and change the world!

　　Looking at it this way, it's no wonder that such a dark organization can bounce around under the nose of the Qing Kingdom for so long and continue to develop better and better.

　　Maybe the noble upper echelons of the Qing Kingdom are all supporting the Phoenix organization!

　　What do they care about the life and death of the villagers? As long as the Phoenix organization succeeds, everyone will be like a dragon, and the black can be washed white!

　　For a moment, Fang Yue's expression was uncertain.

　　He didn't know what the future held, but at least based on what the Phoenix organization was doing now, these methods were not good.

　　Evil is evil. No matter how lofty the ideals are, if the actions are evil, then it is evil! The spiritual core cannot change the fact that evil deeds are being done!

　　Not to mention what everyone will be like as a dragon, that's just Qing Chen's wishful thinking. Fang Yue suspected that if the Phoenix organization really researched an existence that combines human and bizarre, the first thing they would do is make themselves emperor and unify the world.

　　Or sell it to the Qing Kingdom's upper echelons and rich people at a high price, widening the gap between rich and poor and forming a special environment.

　　At that time…

　　The people at the top would all be mutated human-bizarre hybrids.

　　The people at the bottom would still be the old bodies they used to be.

　　As long as you have money and resources, you can buy technology from their Phoenix organization ‘company’ to transform your body.

　　Hmm… this is very cyberpunk, very punk, a very perfect magical realism.

　　While Fang Yue was thinking about random things, cell number one was not far ahead.

　　The iron door was tightly closed, and two guards stood at the entrance.

　　Seeing that Qing Chen was leading Fang Yue over, they looked at Fang Yue with some suspicion, but there was no hostility.

　　"Qing Chen, what are you doing here?"

　　"Uh… my friend and I are here to visit the prison."

　　"Friend? Visit the prison? Do you have a permit?"

　　Qing Chen didn't seem to be good at lying, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked at Fang Yue from time to time.

　　"That, Lord Tu told me to come, he only gave me the password, but no permit…"

　　Fang Yue didn't ask who Lord Tu was, but obviously the name made the two guards look nervous.

　　They hesitated for a moment, but eventually shook their heads.

　　"No, without a permit…"

　　Before the guard could finish speaking, a hand suddenly shot out, grabbed his neck, lifted him up, and slammed him backward.

　　*Dong!*

　　The back of his head hurt, and his whole body was dizzy. When the person let go, he fell directly to the ground, his consciousness gradually blurring.

　　In his last moments of consciousness, he saw another guard lying on the ground, blood flowing from the back of his head, a corpse with wide eyes filled with fear, as well as the crisp sound of the iron door being pushed open and two sets of footsteps echoing in the corridor behind the iron door…

　　"Why did you kill them?"

　　"How else would we get in?"

　　"I, I could have found a way…"

　　"Too troublesome."

　　Fang Yue walked in front, and Qing Chen followed cautiously behind.

　　He finally realized that after today's events, there was no way he could stay in the Phoenix organization anymore.

　　"Then I can only rely on Brother Ye, but Brother Ye doesn't seem to have much money, so he can't support me in continuing my scientific research…"

　　"What are you muttering about?"

　　"No, nothing!"

　　Qing Chen quickly followed Fang Yue.

　　In fact, the news of Fang Yue breaking into the underground stronghold had already been spread by the servants of the Ning residence who had escaped with him.

　　It just takes time for information to spread.

　　That's why Qing Chen brought people to delay Fang Yue's progress and restrict his range of activity.

　　And the result was that Qing Chen defected, and all the people he brought were killed.

　　"Brother Ye said that his strength is only at the Houtian First-Rate realm… Were the guards so strong?"

　　That's what Qing Chen thought, but when he saw the cell boss of cell number one leading the experimental subject to attack, only to be killed by Fang Yue with a flash of fire and a raised hand, slicing both of them in half with one strike, Qing Chen silently closed his mouth.

　　Obviously, it wasn't that the Houtian First-Rate realm was so strong, but that Fang Yue's strength was that strong!

　　Damn it?! Is Brother Ye really at the Houtian First-Rate realm?

　　Qing Chen recalled the scene just now.

　　A menacing old man of the same level charged over with an experimental subject possessing special bizarre powers.

　　As a result, Fang Yue stirred up a violent wind pressure, forming a fire tornado that enveloped the cell boss and the experimental subject together, and then sliced them both in half with one strike, ending the battle with one slash and two halves.
