Following Gu Min's introduction, the three of them continued their journey.
They only slowed down when they entered the last floor of the research institute.
After passing through three layers of security doors, guards followed from the other side.
Gu Min waved her hand at the other party and said, "Xiao Li, these two are both experts in the elemental system, so you don't need to come along. We'll just take a look."
Upon hearing Gu Min's words, the guard, Xiao Li, saluted and returned to his post.
Looking around, Wang Zheng saw guards every three steps and sentries every five steps, along with countless transparent partitions, a style completely different from before. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Old Gu, is this the place in the research institute where the Heavenly Demon is imprisoned?"
Gu Min smiled and nodded: "That's right. So far, our research institute has only confirmed three cases. There was originally a physical demon, but one day it suddenly went berserk and kept crashing into the elemental cage that imprisoned it, and finally it died and disappeared."
Wang Zheng quickly pressed on, "Were there any special relics left behind after the death? I was questioned for a long time by the people from the Imperial Capital Military Region because of this."
At this point, Wang Zheng still looked indignant, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Gu Min obviously knew about this, and said with a smile, "Yes, some have been left behind. They are pure black crystals, and as far as I know, most of the Heavenly Demons leave behind these special crystals when they die."
Wang Zheng was about to ask if any uses had been discovered for the crystals, but he held back in time.
Looking at Wang Zheng's expression, Gu Ming asked, "Are you also wondering if this special crystal has any use?"
Wang Zheng looked at the other person's ambiguous, meaningful expression and nodded stiffly.
"Don't worry, it doesn't have any special functions. It's just like a regular spiritual crystal, and it won't have any negative effects."
Wang Zheng thought for a moment and realized that it was understandable for him to be curious about this since he was being treated differently because of it. Besides, his spatial ring had already been checked, so why should he feel guilty?
So he continued, "I want to know, since the death of the Heavenly Demon inside Old Madam Qian's body caused her spiritual energy concentration to increase rapidly, could it be because the old lady's body absorbed the crystals that should have appeared? Does this special crystal have the same effect?"
Gu Min didn't expect Wang Zheng to ask this. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "No, there isn't one. The number of Heavenly Demons is extremely small. Every one that exists is a very precious research material. Whether it's in a dormant state or a single entity, they are all very rare."
Moreover, without exception, none of those who absorbed this crystal experienced a rapid increase in spiritual energy.
Wang Zheng was immediately disappointed upon hearing this. He had been thinking that if possible, he wouldn't need to keep the Heavenly Demon Crystal, but he hadn't expected to still have to take the risk. Now he could only wait until the old lady regained consciousness and then see how she was doing.
Yes, ever since the researchers said that Grandma Qian's spiritual energy concentration had skyrocketed, Wang Zheng had a big plan in mind.
Since an ordinary elderly person can suddenly raise their spiritual energy limit to such a high level, and even make the research institute staff say that they might awaken naturally.
He immediately thought of his father, Wang Shengrong, whose spiritual energy value was stuck at 99/99 and could not be improved.
If we can use the power of the Heavenly Demon to take another step forward, even if it's just raising the upper limit a little, then awakening will be a sure thing. And if Dad can awaken, will his body also recover along with him?
Unfortunately, according to Elder Gu, the Heavenly Demon Crystal does not have such an effect.
Wang Zheng was now only thinking that if it was later discovered that Old Lady Qian was indeed not affected by the dissipation of the Heavenly Demon, he would see if he could trick his father into being possessed by the Heavenly Demon.
If I act quickly enough, I can turn the Heavenly Demon into a wedding dress for humanity.
Artificially create naturally awakened beings!
Seeing that Wang Zheng remained silent, Chu Tianxing and Gu Min did not pay any attention and continued to show him around.
Chu Tianxing had clearly never been here before and was very curious about everything around him.
After walking a few steps, Wang Zheng saw three "people" locked in transparent cages at the deepest part of the basement.
Two of them remained calm, but their bloodshot eyes were fixed on Gu Min as she entered, and they kept letting out low growls like wild beasts.
With just one glance, Wang Zheng knew that these two were definitely possessed by a demon, and that they had reached a very deep level, far beyond what Old Madam Qian could be compared to.
Because they look exactly like Chi Bofei back then.
They should still be conscious and harbor deep hatred for Professor Gu Min.
Although the two appeared relatively calm, the occasional flashes of ruthlessness in their eyes were chilling.
