Aqin nodded. Seeing that Xue Jing had no intention of continuing the conversation, she could only say, "Okay, if you change your mind, you can contact us through your sister at any time."
After she left, Xue Jing lay down on the sofa, holding the dark red seeds in his hand and spinning them in front of his eyes.
He shook his head and said to himself: "Jiu Wu is really hated by everyone..."
Actually, it’s not really true to say that he likes Jiu Wu very much.
He has always been clear that the old martial arts were just a way for him to develop his skill panel. His real strength has never been in martial arts, but in the panel.
The reason why he feels unhappy when being looked down upon by others is not because he has any sense of identification with Jiu Wu.
It's like when you choose a major you like in college, but then you shake your head and sigh and tell everyone you meet that your major is really not good...
Xue Jing was still somewhat emotional about this, but he really found it difficult to refute what others said.
He couldn't even say a simple sentence like "I just feel like it, isn't that okay?" with a clear conscience.
Because he has something that others don't have, he can take it for granted and walk on the path of old martial arts without any worries. He is very clear that he is different from others.
If he didn't have a skill panel, would he really be able to reject xenoplants, banned drugs, and divine grace without hesitation and stick to the old martial arts path? He couldn't be sure of that.
As long as he cannot be sure of this, he will not be able to refute others with confidence.
Shaking his head, Xue Jing stopped thinking about these meaningless things and thought:
"From what that woman said just now, the alienation rate of the stigma has indeed decreased after I extracted the divinity from it."
The reason why he returned the eyeball to Aqin so easily was that he wanted to confirm this point.
He thought of this after learning that his sister Xue Wan had become the recipient of the gift and was at risk of being contaminated and alienated.
"Now it seems that the true nature of the so-called 'divinity' has been revealed."
Xue Jing's eyes flickered.
From the time he touched the [Cat Tail Ring] and came into contact with divinity until now, the powers possessed by the objects or people whose divinity he absorbed have not been affected in any way.
The functions of the divine relics are still intact, and the cat still possesses the abilities of a different god after merging with Bastet. After the divinity of the stigmata was absorbed by him, the woman of the Flower God Club was able to use the ability to control plants without any worries.
And now, he finally discovered the abnormality after the divinity was absorbed.
Alienation rate…
The infiltration of divine power and the pollution of spiritual consciousness will cause alienation in people, but extracting divinity will reduce the alienation rate without affecting the abilities it brings.
In other words, the so-called "divinity" is not the power of God itself, but something attached to this power.
"I'm not 100% sure yet. I'll go find my sister to confirm it later. She's the recipient of the gift and has stigmata. I'll absorb some divinity from her and see if her alienation rate will decrease."
"If that's the case, then there's no need to worry about her alienation."
"Also..." Xue Jing touched his chin.
If absorbing divinity is really like this, reducing the alienation rate without affecting other things, then isn't he the... biological father of all the recipients
If it were to be made public, he would probably be chased by a bunch of people calling him godfather.
Wouldn’t it be possible to absorb divinity until one’s hands are soft
Thinking of the harvest, Xue Jing's mouth was watering.
But reason still forced itself to punch away the overwhelming desire, jumped out, and told him that he couldn't do this.
"There must be many people who call me foster father, but there must be many Lu Bu among them..."
Although he didn't know how many recipients there were in the world, he knew that there were definitely many.
This world is very complex, and among the recipients there must be monstrous beings whose horrors are so great that he cannot imagine them at the moment.
If the fact that he could solve the alienation rate without any side effects were to be exposed... what huge benefits would that bring
What will happen then is completely uncontrollable.
Maybe he really took advantage of this opportunity to enrich himself, but this uncontrollable situation was definitely not what he wanted.
With the skill panel, he will eventually become a true god on earth. No rush, no rush.
Suppressing his desire for divinity, Xue Jing opened the panel and took a look.
"Huh? Why are you showing no signs of recovery?"
He looked at the [Plant Contract] in the Divine Skill column, feeling somewhat confused.
Ever since the contract was signed for that pot of spider plant, the color of the name Zhiqi has always been dull.
The color is the blue bar, and the dim color is the empty blue. But after using it by Twins and Shadow Flame, the dim color will gradually brighten over time until it turns back to light gold.
However, Zhiqi showed no sign of recovery, even though nearly an hour had passed.
"Could it be that..."
Xue Jing took out the seed that was transformed from the spider plant from his pocket.
As soon as he thought about it, the mark of the contract engraved on the spider plant seeds suddenly disappeared.
At this moment, the [Plant Contract] on the panel suddenly lit up and turned into light gold.
"Is that so..."
Xue Jing's eyes showed understanding.
"The limitation is the number of contracts... It still doesn't allow me to play with an infinite army of plants." He sighed.
"Lv1, can only contract one plant?"
Xue Jing reached out and placed the spider plant seeds on the table, then picked up the dark red 'oxygen-absorbing tree' seeds.
With a thought, a circular contract pattern mark appeared on the dark red seed.
When he opened the panel again, he saw that the color of [Plant Contract] had dimmed, and was much darker than when he had made the contract with the spider plant. It was almost completely black.
"The more powerful the plant, the greater the consumption?"
"It seems that the limit is not on the number of contracts, but on the energy consumption of the contracts. The total number is 100, the contract with the spider plant consumes 30, and the contract with the 'oxygen-absorbing tree' consumes 99... something like that."
Xue Jing threw the dark red seeds that completed the contract onto the ground.
A clicking sound of wriggling was heard, and suddenly a dozen small green rhizomes grew out from all over the seed, becoming thicker and longer. All the rhizomes kept wriggling, looking like an octopus waving its tentacles.
The rhizome gradually grew to more than ten meters long, wriggling and expanding in the hotel room, gradually filling up half of the room.
At the same time, Xue Jing also felt that the rhizome was breathing, and the surrounding oxygen was constantly absorbed by it at an almost violent speed.
The air became thinner and Xue Jing began to feel some difficulty breathing.
As soon as he thought about it, the breathing of all the roots suddenly stagnated and was forcibly stopped.
The air outside the window flowed back and the oxygen density quickly recovered.
"Not bad." Xue Jing nodded, quite satisfied.
This plant is called Nagu something, and it still has a lot of room to grow, but it can't fit in the hotel room. It is much better than the spider plant.
"Try again some other time."
He controlled all the roots to shrink and grow in the opposite direction. After a while, a dozen thick tentacles retracted and turned into a dark red seed again.
Putting the seed in his pocket, Xue Jing took out his phone, opened the dialing interface, entered his sister's number, and dialed.
…
At the gate of Fengcheng University, Xue Wan held the cat in her arms, looking at the mess in front of her with huge cracks all over the ground. Her extremely beautiful face was no longer gentle and easy-going as usual, but expressionless and almost cold.
The sirens of fire trucks and police cars sirens were heard constantly, and the area was filled with onlookers, all of whom were curious about what had happened and why this place looked like there had just been a major earthquake.
Several classmates who were familiar with Xue Wan were about to say hello to her, but when they saw her expressionless face, they couldn't utter the words that were about to come out of their throats.
"Wanwan, what happened? It feels so scary."
"Wasn't she just called away by Professor Lu? Maybe she was scolded by the professor..."
"She looks like she's in a bad mood, so let's not disturb her for now..."
Maomao stayed in Xue Wan's arms, with a very anthropomorphic look of thoughtfulness on his face.
It just followed Xue Wan to meet Professor Lu and learned a secret.
I was thinking whether I should report this to Xue Jing right away...
At this time, Xue Wan heard the cell phone ringing in his pocket.
She took out her cell phone expressionlessly, and saw the note "My stupid Ou Doudou" on the screen. She blinked, and her expression finally softened.
"sister."
The voice of my younger brother Xue Jing came from the receiver.
Xue Wan took a deep breath, calmed down his originally anxious mood, and said as calmly as possible:
"Ah Jing... where are you now?"
"I'm in the hotel... Don't worry, I'm fine." Xue Jing seemed to have noticed that Xue Wan's tone was wrong and said comfortingly.
"Give me the hotel address and room number... I'll come find you."
Xue Wan couldn't feel at ease unless he confirmed his brother's condition with his own eyes.
"Also... I have something to tell you."
Xue Jing on the other end of the phone smiled, reported the hotel address and room number, and then said: "Come over, I have something to tell you too."
Xue Wan hung up the phone, put the phone on his bulging chest, and looked much more relaxed.
She looked back in the direction of Fengda Garden, then turned and left.
…
Chapter 136: Showdown, I am also a recipient, the Lord of No Appearance and Thousand Appearances (4K)
The sunlight shone into the room through the gap in the curtains, illuminating half of Xue Jing's face as he sat on the sofa.
He folded his arms across his chest, a thoughtful look on his face, thinking about something.
After a long while, there was a knock on the door.
The voice was very soft. Xue Jing came back to his senses and did not stand up, but moved his fingers.
A black air current was drawn out from the shadow at the door, condensing into a materialized shadow hand, which turned the doorknob.
Xue Wan, who was holding the cat, saw the door open and looked a little nervous. She was about to speak, but did not see her brother.
He walked in puzzled, passed the corridor inside the room and came to the living room, only to see Xue Jing sitting on the sofa with half of his body shrouded in shadow.
He didn't say anything either, just sat there, shrouded in shadow, with only half of his face looking at Xue Wan with a calm expression.
That posture had an inexplicable aura of a gangster godfather, which made Xue Wan, who was already feeling guilty, look even weaker.
"Sister, please sit down."
Xue Jing spoke in a flat tone.
Xue Wan: “…”
She let the cat go and then walked carefully to Xue Jing.
But he did not sit down on the chair or the sofa, but knelt down in front of Xue Jing, holding his knees with both hands.
"Woof~"
Xue Wan was like a puppy acting coquettishly to please her owner. She barked in a very soft voice, with a very obvious cute expression on her pretty face. She found the cutest angle and looked up at Xue Jing from below. Her big, sparkling eyes were full of innocence.
Xue Jing: “…”
For this shameless woman, it was completely stress-free to put on such a fawning attitude towards her brother.
Ever since she lost a game to her younger brother when she was a child, and swore "I'm a dog if I don't pay", she gave up her dignity as a sister from that moment on and barked "Woof woof woof" without hesitation.
From then on, every time he did something wrong, he would act like a dog in front of Xue Jing and beg for forgiveness.
"Be quiet and sit down." Xue Jing no longer fell for her tricks and just said it expressionlessly.
“Oh…” Xue Wan’s face was full of obedience. She took her hands off Xue Jing’s knees and kept kneeling. She moved back twice and then sat upright, just like children sitting in a row eating fruit.
"Do you know you are wrong?"
"I know, I was wrong, woof~" Xue Wan admitted his mistake without hesitation.
