Gu Shi rushed back to the school dormitory overnight and opened the door with his key. Now he was the only one here. Cheng Xuqing and Zhao Zhize had already left, and Qi Yu stayed in Lanxing this time and did not come.
After returning to the dormitory, Gu Shi did not rest immediately. Instead, he took out the jade disk and started contacting the system.
Gu Shi: Are you there? I've got the stuff. The quantity is even greater than expected, a full nine thousand. How should I give it to you now?
About ten minutes after the message was sent, a white circle suddenly appeared in front of Gu Shi, and then the system's reply popped up on the contact interface.
【System: Let it in.】
Gu Shi threw in bags of Luhua fruit.
[System: I received it. Now that we have all the materials, the flute can be repaired in five days. If you have nothing to do for the next two days, please stay at school. I will be able to send the flute to you as soon as possible.]
After all, this is in a different world, and the system is subject to many restrictions.
When he was on Blue Star, no matter where Gu Shi was, the system could send things to him at any time, but in this world, the system could only do this within the school or various bases.
【Gu Shi: Okay, I understand.】
After finishing the conversation with the system, Gu Shi washed up and went to bed.
He stayed in school for the next few days.
Five days passed in a flash, and Gu Shi soon got the repaired flute.
The flute now has a completely different appearance. The dense cracks on the flute body have disappeared, and the originally rotten material has become brand new. The black and shiny appearance makes people feel very high-end at first glance.
Gu Shi took the flute in his hand and played with it for a few seconds, then started communicating with the system again.
Gu Shi: Do you know what this flute is used for? And the one I got earlier is called the Beauty Face Fan. I don't know much about either of these things, and it would be terrible if something went wrong.
Now that he has obtained the three treasures, Gu Shi will definitely start studying ways to change them back. Before that, he decided to ask the system about the two treasures other than the Mingxin Leaf.
After all, he would have to use magic in the research process. What if he accidentally triggered its effects and ended up getting hurt...
Gu Shi didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be.
[System: I do have some relevant records, but they are not particularly comprehensive.
System: The Beauty Mask can change a person's appearance, making a person completely change from the outside to another appearance, and when this image is broken, the user's state will directly revert to the moment before the change.
System: However, I don’t know if the death state can be reversed.
System: Because the images that appear after transformation are all various beauties, it is called the Beauty Face.
[System: This flute is called Nianwang. Its sound can drive people crazy, causing them to indiscriminately attack those around them or directly drive those who hear it to commit suicide.
System: According to records, the lethality of this flute sound is quite strong, but its power may be slightly weakened now.
Gu Shi: Why is that? Could it be that it hasn't been fully restored yet?
System: That’s not the case.
System: Here's the thing. During the repair process, I detected that this flute has a curse-like condition. It can absorb the user's vitality to enhance the power of the flute sound.
System: For your safety, I'll dispel this curse. Of course, this curse was added later, so dispelling it won't affect your subsequent actions.
Gu Shi: I see. Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been infected without even realizing it.
Hearing the system say this, Gu Shi couldn't help but recall the situation when Chi Xiang threw Nian Wang to him. No wonder he behaved like that at that time. It turned out that he had set a trap for Gu Shi early on.
[System: These are the only things I know. From the time these three treasures appeared until they left the Immortal Cultivation World, they never fell into the hands of the same person.
System: So there are no ready-made records to refer to for your next task. It depends on you to figure out how to turn them into ancient trees.
System: Come on.
Gu Shi: I will try my best.
Gu Shi sighed. Even though everyone he met so far said that he was the one who could combine the three treasures into one and turn them back into ancient wood, he still had little confidence.
After all, when he saw these three treasures, Gu Shi did not have any special feeling. Even though they were now neatly arranged in front of him, it could not change Gu Shi's confused thoughts.
Gu Shi rubbed his temples. "Oh, forget it. I'd better try all the methods I can think of first, just like before. Maybe I'll get lucky."
————
Three days later, with still no progress, Gu Shi decided to seek help from others.
He is in another world now, and it is a bit unreasonable for him to leave such a big and close teacher unused.
Gu Shi took these three things and headed straight for Field's Mage Tower.
Looking at the student who suddenly appeared in front of him, Field narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down, and asked in surprise: "Huh? Why are you back so soon? Didn't you say you would be away for a long time?"
"Well, plans can't keep up with changes. I have something I want to ask my teacher, so I came back early." Gu Shi turned his head slightly, not wanting Field to see his slightly embarrassed expression.
When he left, he did intend to stay on Blue Star for a while longer, so he solemnly notified all his acquaintances in the other world. Who knew he would come back so soon.
This is not even as long as the last time he went to sea.
Field chuckled, not intending to expose Gu Shi's embarrassment. He asked, "Tell me, what trouble are you in?"
Gu Shi placed the three items, Mingxin Leaf, Beauty Face and Nianwang, in a row on the table, and then carefully explained his current main needs.
After listening to his words, Field concluded thoughtfully, "So what you're saying is that according to the legend of your hometown, these three things were transformed from a magical ancient tree, and now you want to change them back?"
Gu Shi nodded, "That's right."
After getting Gu Shi's permission, Field took the three things in his hands one by one and examined them carefully. Finally, he shook his head regretfully.
