My Endless Life

Chapter 125 The Essence of the Relic

Entering the fog zone in the safe zone is not a trivial matter.

After the association learned the truth that someone in the city was backfired by the fog, it immediately began to investigate the whole city.

Jinghua may not be the only member of the [Chasing Light Society] who sneaked into the city. Perhaps with her ability, she sent more people in.

In order to prevent more people from being killed and to catch the rats of the Chasing Light Society in the city, the association and Malu's exploration team were all mobilized.

Li Qi, on the other hand, had nothing to do. After confirming that he was fine, he was sent home by Carol.

Perhaps because of the guilt she had not been able to take care of Li Qi over the years, Carol cared about Li Qi very much. This time, Li Qi was targeted by the people of the Chasing Light Society, and she was the most angry.

On the contrary, the person involved was very calm and asked Carol about some things that Jinghua said.

For example...

"The woman of the Chasing Light Society said that she knew my parents... My parents, are they famous?"

Li Qi asked curiously.

Carol was stunned for a moment, and after some hesitation, she replied:

"I guess so. After all, Gel... that is, your father, is not far from the Black Mist level. If your mother had not been in trouble that year, he would definitely be a Black Mist-level Mist Explorer now."

"What happened that year?"

Li Qi asked again.

Carol opened her mouth and hesitated for a long time before saying:

"... Your mother... was attacked by the Light Chasing Society."

She just said this, and then... there was no more words.

...

Li Qi's parents, Gel and Chris, were also very famous young Mist Explorers back then, especially the fact that they walked together and had a child, which was something that the members of the exploration team talked about with relish.

Mist Explorers rarely get married and rarely have their own children.

Because they all know that they may die in the fog area at any time, most people choose to be single, including Carol and Maru.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between the two of them is not normal, but the two of them have never been together.

In contrast, Geer and Chris, who walked together bravely and had Li Qi, became the object of admiration of everyone in the exploration team.

When Li Qi was born, the members of the exploration team teased him and said that he was the "group pet" of the year.

Geer and Chris also stayed in the safe zone for a few years to take care of Li Qi.

But they were still fog explorers after all. When Li Qi was able to take care of himself, they asked their neighbors to help take care of Li Qi, and they went into the fog again to explore.

They had never thought about entering the endless fog sea. Maybe they had thought about it, but they had no such idea after having Li Qi.

They just wanted to help Li Qi save enough money as soon as possible before Li Qi came of age, and then retire together and enjoy the life of ordinary people with their children.

The purpose of joining the exploration team was originally this.

But who would have thought that there would be an accident during that exploration.

They encountered the Light Chasing Society and the four-layer fog beast attracted by the Light Chasing Society.

Then... Geer took Chris to the endless fog sea.

When Carol told Li Qi these things, she omitted a lot of things in the middle. Li Qi knew that what Carol omitted might be the fundamental reason why Geer took Chris to the fog sea.

But Carol didn't say it, she didn't want to say it, so Li Qi didn't ask again.

Anyway...what his parents were like in this life didn't have much to do with Li Qi.

He didn't even know if he could live past the age of 20 in this life, so there was no need to worry about the elders.

Compared with these, Li Qi had other things to deal with.

"Get out if you're not dead."

After Carol left, Li Qi looked at a place in the dark street and scolded coldly.

The woman in gray and white clothes, who called herself a member of the Chasing Light Society of Jinghua, appeared from the shadows and came to Li Qi.

Her only black eyes exposed revealed a bit of incredibleness:

"I still don't understand how you found me."

Obviously, whether it was vision, hearing or smell, it had been disturbed and changed, but Li Qi could still find her.

This made Jinghua very confused.

Li Qi still had no intention of answering her question. After looking at her, he turned around and walked into the room, saying:

"Come in."

"Tsk, what an unlovable little ghost."

Jinghua muttered, her heart full of reluctance, but her body still moved and followed Li Qi into the room.

If you look closely, you can see that there are some tiny silk threads of the same color as Jinghua's gray and white clothes.

The silk threads wrapped around Jinghua's body, controlling her like a puppet.

That is the second-level relic, the binding silk, which was transformed by the Magic Cube.

It is a relic used to control others. Li Qi used this relic to control Adam before.

But this does not mean that Li Qi cannot control Adam if he loses the binding silk.

The real way Li Qi controls Adam is actually the magic "Silk Manipulation". Under this magic, any silk-like object can be controlled by Li Qi.

Using the second-level relic is just easier to control.

Therefore, from the beginning, the thing that Li Qi used to control Adam was not the Magic Cube, and it was for this reason that he could control Jinghua to leave the fog area.

The matter is very clear at this point. Jinghua who "died" in the fog area was just an illusion she transformed.

After confirming that Jinghua had the means to create relics, Li Qi used special means to establish communication with Jinghua and asked her to fake her death in front of Ronnie.

After all, Jinghua is considered a wanted criminal in this world. If she is caught by the association, Li Qi will not be able to learn anything from her.

Carol wouldn't let him get involved in such a dangerous thing.

That Loli aunt who cared too much about herself, her concern actually became an obstacle to Li Qi.

So in order to allow himself to communicate with Jinghua after this, Li Qi could only think of a way to let Jinghua fake her death and ask her later.

Li Qi is not worried that Jinghua will run away.

Because besides leaving relics on Kyoka, he also left something else.

After entering Li Qi's room and closing the door, Jinghua asked directly:

"I came as you asked, so where's the antidote?"

Li Qi said nothing, took out a bottle from the drawer and threw it to Jinghua.

The woman in gray and white clothes immediately opened the collar of her long clothes, exposed her mouth, and swallowed several small pills in the bottle in one gulp.

Li Qi was quite surprised when he saw this: "Aren't you worried that what I gave you was still poison?"

Jinghua swallowed the pill and then said:

"Anyway, if you don't give me the antidote, I will die. If you give me the poison, I will die. They are both dead, so what's the difference?"

Jinghua said indifferently.

But Li Qi could sense that the moment she asked the question, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She probably hadn't thought about this question before Li Qi asked.

A dead duck has a tough mouth.

Li Qi complained in his heart, but did not choose to expose it.

Li Qi's puppet is poisonous. Although the poison is not very useful against the monsters in the fog area, it is extremely effective against humans.

When he let Jinghua go, he told the other party that she had been poisoned. If she didn't want to die, she would have to come to Li Qi after everything was over.

Otherwise, she probably only had three days to live.

As for where Li Qi's poison came from...

What he learned from Professor Derien was not just the making of alchemy tools.

Li Qi can also make alchemical potions.

Jinghua took the pills and felt the changes in her body with her breath. After confirming that the poison was indeed being alleviated, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Qi again:

"I have to say that your methods are very similar to our style of doing things. Are you sure you don't want to join our Light Chasing Club?"

At this time, Jinghua still hasn't forgotten to promote Li Qi's MLM, and she is very dedicated.

Li Qi sat on the chair with his legs crossed, holding his chin with one hand and looking at Jinghua. He did not answer Jinghua's words, but asked directly:

"You said you have a way to make relics?"

Seeing that Li Qi didn't respond to the invitation just now, Jinghua sighed, then nodded:

"Yes, the Light Chasing Society does exist, and my relics... were made in the Society."

"First-class relic?"

"yes."

Seeing Jinghua nodding in recognition, Li Qi's eyes flashed.

The relics currently produced by the kingdom are all third- and fourth-level relics, and most of them are standard. Although the contract will not be delayed, the upper limit of these relics is undoubtedly quite low.

Even many of them are not even sure whether they are relics.

But the Light Chasing Society has actually mastered the method of making first-level relics?

Is the kingdom's technology too weak, or has the Light Chasing Society already mastered the core essence of the relic?

Li Qi thought for a while and suddenly asked:

"Are you able to produce first-level relics stably?"

"It's not stable...but occasionally a first-level or second-level relic can appear. How about it? Are you excited?"

Kyoka asked again.

Li Qi ignored her, but nodded thoughtfully.

If it was just occasional, it would still make sense. Otherwise, if Chasing Light could really produce first-level relics stably, then how could they stay in the fourth-layer fog area.

Wouldn't it be better to conduct research in a safe zone?

Thinking about this, Li Qi took out a red walnut from his arms, showed it to Jinghua and asked:

"Look at this, is it a relic?"

Jinghua asked in confusion: "Did you do it?"

"Stop talking nonsense and answer me, yes or no."

Jinghua carefully looked at the red walnut in Li Qi's hand, and with Li Qi's permission, she tentatively put her hand on it.

Afterwards she shook her head and said, "No."

"How did you confirm it?"

Li Qi was puzzled.

Kyoka replied: "Although I don't know how you made a special item similar to the relic, there is one thing missing when you made the relic, the most essential thing."

"What?"

"life."

"!?"

Li Qi's eyes widened instantly.

Jinghua's expression remained unchanged as she softly told the truth about the making of the relic:

"The essence of relics comes from life. Whether it is human beings or other creatures, only things made by infusing life can be called relics.

"So relics (relics and treasures) are relics (things left behind)."

Kyoka said.
