"As for the second method..." Zhuo Fan said this, he looked at Lin Tao and smiled: "I think you should have thought of it too, right?"

Lin Tao nodded. If the first method was to place the thunder stone core in a special location to absorb cosmic energy, then the second method was already obvious, which was to purchase a rare object containing cosmic energy.

"How can I transfer the cosmic energy into the thunder stone core with the rare item I bought?" Lin Tao wondered.

"Don't you have a lightning bead? Don't underestimate this lightning bead. Although it is called a lightning bead, it can also absorb cosmic energy to a certain extent. Put the strange object containing cosmic energy together with the lightning bead. After the lightning bead absorbs the cosmic energy, it will automatically transfer the cosmic energy to the thunder stone core."

"However, this process is a bit slow. Unless you can purchase a large number of rare items containing cosmic energy, it will be a long process for the Thunder Stone Core to be upgraded."

Zhuo Fan said.

It is obvious that these words came from Zhuo Chengxun's mouth, otherwise, with Zhuo Fan's level of strength, he might not know these things.

But this is not a bad thing for Lin Tao. After all, Zhuo Chengxun was able to let Zhuo Fan bring these words here, which obviously shows that he thinks highly of him. I think there must be a reason for this decision made by the ancient wise man.

Lin Tao didn't know why the great sage Tugu made such a decision, but he knew in his heart that pie in the sky doesn't fall for nothing in this world. If he could successfully graduate from the Mind Energy Master Academy, he must have received a commission.

Now, Lin Tao needs to improve his strength, so he will not object.

After figuring it out, Lin Tao nodded and asked calmly, "Zhuo Fan, do you already have a list of strange objects containing cosmic energy?"

"Of course." Zhuo Fan laughed and said, "After knowing that you swindled 4,000 insect extermination points from Liu Jiaer, my grandfather sent the list to me a long time ago. He was just afraid that you would waste the points on the seventh-level mind contact."

After that, Zhuo Fan operated his watch a few times and sent a list of strange objects to Lin Tao's watch.

Lin Tao took a quick look and found that the names of the strange objects on the list were very unfamiliar. Almost all of them were special and strange objects that he had never heard of before.

Seeing Lin Tao's frown, Zhuo Fan laughed again: "Lin Tao, when you officially join the Mind Energy Master College, you will join the college's website. At that time, you can usually find anything you want to purchase on the website."

Lin Tao finally calmed down. Although he had never joined any telepathic school, he had once visited the website of Xiao Yuan's Mihuanxing Telepathic School. In addition to learning materials and communication, the website was also a place where he could exchange resources with other telepathic masters.

Since the Psychic Master Academy belongs to the Adventurer's Association, it must have more resources than the Psychic Master Academy on Mihuan Star. After joining, perhaps you will be able to understand the strange objects on these lists and their sources.

At this point, Zhuo Fan had told Lin Tao everything that Zhuo Chengxun had instructed him to do.

"Let's wait here for a few days. When there's news, we'll set off together." Zhuo Fan said. As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned again. Seeing that Lin Tao's brows were furrowed again, and he was obviously anxious to join the School of Mind Energy Masters, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Lin Tao, starting from here, as long as we enter the sub-time and space channel, it will take no more than half a day for us to reach the School of Mind Energy Masters. There's no need to rush now."

A time-space channel?

Lin Tao's heart moved. He had heard about the sub-space-time channel a long time ago. In this universe, the sub-space-time channel can be entered not only by warships but also by spaceships.

However, according to Lin Tao's understanding, if a spacecraft wants to enter the sub-time and space channel, it needs to apply for it and then have the ship covered with a layer of special material before it can sail in it.

However, there are not many ships that can apply for this opportunity, just like the Salon ship did not have this opportunity. There is only one official route in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and only ships approved by the Adventurer's Association have this opportunity.

Lin Tao didn't know what was going on. After Zhuo Fan mentioned the secondary space-time channel, he couldn't help but ask: "Zhuo Fan, can you tell me more about the secondary space-time channel?"

"Hmm?" Zhuo Fan was startled, then narrowed his eyes, stared at Lin Tao, and asked tentatively: "Lin Tao, you don't know much about the secondary space-time channel?"

"I only know that warships and spaceships can enter, but..." After pondering for a while, Lin Tao couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "I want to know, can people enter the secondary space-time channel naked?"

Lin Tao had studied the sub-space channels of the two universes. His universe was not technologically advanced enough and could only allow warships to enter. However, this universe could be entered not only by warships but also by spaceships. Therefore, when he encountered the Luo Chamber of Commerce, he did not arouse Luo's suspicion.

However, warships and spaceships were able to enter, but there has been no record of any news about humans entering. The fact that Lin Tao was able to enter the sub-time and space channel naked through the Shadow of Guda and met the Etna people has always been a thorn in his heart that can never be erased.

Therefore, Lin Tao was very curious. He wanted to know if there was any telekinetic master in the universe who could do this so as to resolve the confusion in his heart.

"Entering naked?" Zhuo Fan was shocked: "This...how is this possible?"

"No one can do it?" Lin Tao was also stunned.

Zhuo Fan shook his head repeatedly: "It's impossible, absolutely impossible, let alone my grandfather, even the ancient wise man with a strength of fourteenth level can't do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Fan seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes tightened, and he looked at Lin Tao: "Lin Tao, you don't know anyone who can enter the secondary space-time channel, do you?"

Lin Tao frowned. He really wanted to speak out, but at this moment, there was no way he would reveal the secret hidden in his heart.

However, facing Zhuo Fan's gaze, Lin Tao still spoke, half-truthfully, "I saw him once before. I don't know who he was. He walked out of the space-time passage and disappeared before my eyes."

Hearing this, Zhuo Fan frowned immediately, and asked again and again: "After that person came out, he didn't come to find you, and you didn't go to find him?"

Lin Tao shook his head, still not planning to tell the truth. He pretended to be in deep thought: "I was being chased by someone at the time, and I was hiding in a special place. He might not have found me yet, and I didn't dare to leave my hiding place easily."

"So that's how it is." Zhuo Fan pondered for a while, then asked, "Lin Tao, do you remember what that person looks like?"

The universe is extremely dark and difficult to see, but the special light of this space-time channel allows people to see everything clearly, so Zhuo Fan asked this question.

"That man looks very strange. How should I describe it? I can't explain it clearly at the moment. Anyway, I feel that he doesn't look like an ordinary person." In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Lin Tao pretended to hesitate.

"That should be the case." Zhuo Fan nodded: "If that's the case, then that person has only one identity."

Lin Tao raised his eyebrows.

"Insect man, you must have met an insect man." Zhuo Fan affirmed: "I had already noticed it when I first met an insect man. You don't seem to know about the existence of insect men. Although you didn't tell me your origins, I can guess that there should be no insect men in your environment."

Lin Tao suddenly kept silent.

Seeing Lin Tao's look, Zhuo Fan smiled slightly, and did not point it out, but continued: "After the insect-man fusion, the physical body is strengthened. Only in this way can it enter the sub-time and space channel naked in human form. My grandfather once hunted down several high-level insect-men, and they also escaped in this way. Maybe the insect-man you met at that time was escaping, so he didn't find you, so he left your life."

"You're luckier now. Otherwise, after encountering the insect people, you would just become their food or be made into the next batch of insect people." Zhuo Fan praised Lin Tao for his extraordinary luck.

Lin Tao touched his nose and smiled bitterly. He was so confused that he thought his half-true and half-false words were misunderstood as those of an insect man.

Suddenly, Zhuo Fan's face tightened: "Lin Tao, now there are insects on your side, will you..."

Lin Tao understood what he was going to say, but at this time he could only shut his mouth and say nothing.

Seeing this, Zhuo Fan had no choice but to shut up. After all, he hadn't figured out Lin Tao's true origins, so it was difficult for him to give any advice on this. What's more, he was just an analyst and was far from being a wise man.

After talking less, Lin Tao found an excuse and returned to the cabin.

With a whoosh, the core ball of Zhe impatiently floated in front of Lin Tao: "Lin Tao, why do you want to ask about the time-space channel?"

Zhe had been listening to the conversation between the two. He also wanted to know the first question, but he was a little confused about the matter of the time and space channel.

"Zheng, have you forgotten? Guda sent us here through the sub-time and space channel." Lin Tao said, "I want to know whether the sub-time and space channel of our universe is always connected to the sub-time and space channel of this universe, or whether Guda forcibly broke through the barrier between two different sub-time and space channels and sent us here."

Upon hearing this, Zhe's core sphere suddenly flashed continuously, as if it was also thinking about the same thing.

However, no matter how they thought about it, it was still an unsolvable problem unless Guda came out and told them personally.

Thinking of Guda, Lin Tao's mental energy fluctuated, and with a humming sound, it was transmitted into the ring surface space again. This ring surface space was almost the size of a giant starry sky ship, and even the warships in this universe could be accommodated in it.

In this space, Lin Tao did not collect many things, only some important personal items and the pharmaceutical tools he had confiscated from the salon. In the center of this space, there was a black shadow of neither big nor small.

This black shadow is looming, as if it is between nothingness and reality.

Lin Tao's mental energy fluctuations fell on it, but could not shake the black shadow at all. At the same time, the existence of this black shadow did not affect Lin Tao's placement of items into the ring space, and the location where the items were placed was not affected by the black shadow.

This black shadow was none other than Guda who was hiding in the space within the ring.

Unfortunately, Lin Tao's mental energy fluctuations were unable to wake Guda from his slumber. After sighing, Lin Tao did not waste any more time. He thought about it and retracted the mental energy fluctuations.

…

…

Time flies.

During these two days, Lin Tao originally planned to stay in the laboratory of the Salon spacecraft to conduct new research on Zero. As for this machine, he learned a lot of shortcomings from the battle with the insect people and wanted to apply them to this machine.

However, since Lu Mengchen was not there, the emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire came to visit the next day.

After some polite exchanges, Wan Chenhuang brought up the matter of Mengchen Chamber of Commerce.

Although Lin Tao said it clearly, and the Adventurer's Association also reminded them to keep their whereabouts secret, it was rare to meet a high-level telepath, and Wan Chenhuang had long had the idea of ​​cultivating the Mengchen Chamber of Commerce, so he came to the door and wanted to completely tie the Mengchen Chamber of Commerce to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Our current situation is not suitable for us to show our faces." Lin Tao refused on the spot.

"Lin Tao, don't be so hasty to refuse. I understand your and Lu Mengchen's situation, but you went to the Adventurer's Association, and Xiao Yuantongqiu and the others are still here, right?" Wan Chenhuang said with a smile, "If you are assured, you can let them come forward and take care of the Chamber of Commerce temporarily. As for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, I will give them a series of preferential conditions until the Mengchen Chamber of Commerce completely becomes the most powerful Chamber of Commerce in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

"Why do you do this?" Lin Tao raised his eyebrows.

"Haha~" Wan Chenhuang laughed, and then he asked in a deep voice: "Lin Tao, you saved me back then, but have you ever thought about why?"

Lin Tao shook his head. In addition to understanding the royal curse on his body, he also did not want Wan Chenhuang to be killed on the spot. After all, in an empire, the death of the emperor would definitely lead to chaos, which was not a good thing for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"I am interested in your Mengchen Chamber of Commerce because of your potions and your kindness to me." Wan Chenhuang said frankly, "I heard from the insect man that the Mengchen No. 1 potion you brought out is worth 10,000 adventurer points in the Adventurer's Association. If managed well, this potion can become the face of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

"Oh?" Lin Tao responded, his eyes narrowed slightly. As the producer of Mengchen Potion, he knew very well what changes this potion would bring to the universe.

That is equivalent to a new type of potion that can cause changes in the physical body. It is a new potion formula that does not exist in this universe. Therefore, it will be rated as 10,000 points in the Adventurer's Association.

Of course, this was what Salon had told Lin Tao at the beginning, and Lin Tao had also confirmed it from Zhuo Fan.

Lin Tao pondered for a long time, and seeing that Lin Tao did not speak, Wan Chenhuang also wisely kept his mouth shut and waited quietly for Lin Tao's reply. After the incident with the insect people and the changes in the princes, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire would probably fall into silence in a very short time if no one supported it. If no new leader appeared, the empire would continue to decline until it disappeared.

This is the real reason why Wan Chenhuang wanted to tie Lin Tao and the others to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

I had already finished writing it, but when I was checking it, I found that there were logical errors in the plot and the previous ones. I had to delete the two chapters I had written and start over. My head is heavy and my heart is broken. Alas ~ I'll have a meal first and then check it again.
