There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#225 - Chapter 225 Soul

Gou Dehao thanked Qi Jing:

"Little Qi, thank you for the flowers. I'll cover all your synthesis fees at the Synthesis Hall from now on."

"I'll personally synthesize for you in the future, guaranteed success."

When Mo Wang saw Gou Dehao say this, he also made a similar promise to Qi Jing.

Although his ability "Let's Gamble" isn't very strong in combat, when combined with the Synthesis Table, he can almost achieve a 90% synthesis success rate.

"I'll add some materials for you when you synthesize, but for now, I'll give you a Treasure Sack."

Qi Jing accepted the Treasure Sack from Mo Wang and thanked him. Then, Mo Wang and Gou Dehao left.

They were eager to use their resources to find "Soul Essence" and didn't stay here for long.

What decisive people! Why does Grandpa Gou always call him Old Gambling Dog?

He doesn't seem like one.

"Brother Qi Jing, I'll be leaving too. Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye ~"

Gou Yigou followed them into the elevator, leaving only Tan Zuoyin and Qi Jing here.

After they left, Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin had time to greet the instructor:

"Hello, Instructor." × 2

Seeing the [Gambler] leave, Li Ru Shi also breathed a sigh of relief and replied to Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin:

"Hello. Did you create these Equinox Flowers with your ability?"

"Yes, I made them."

"I knew it. Only an ability like yours could create something so magical."

As she spoke, she placed the Equinox Flower in a jade box to prevent damage.

Mo Wang and Gou Dehao knew they weren't experts at preserving these plants, so they left it here.

As for why they didn't revive someone first?

Firstly, they didn't know if the Equinox Flower with some fragments removed could still be used. Secondly, they would definitely argue over who to revive, wasting time.

Qi Jing asked, "If there's a soul, can it really be revived?"

"I don't know."

Qin Ling, who had been carefully studying the composition of the Equinox Flower, turned around and said to them:

"My ability can capture souls, repair souls, and put souls into bodies, but I can't sense the existence of souls.

Therefore, I built that laboratory downstairs to study the relationship between biological death and survival, trying to find a way for souls to exist."

If she couldn't sense souls, she couldn't do anything with them.

Qin Ling hadn't used her ability since she awakened it, so her Source Energy was very low, and her ability level was only Level Two.

The function of her ability was identified with the help of other ability users who specialized in identification. Otherwise, she might not have known what her ability could do.

More than a decade ago, Qin Ling went to the battlefield, wanting to retain the souls of those who died in battle, but no matter what she did, there were no results.

Believing she could save countless lives, she returned to Earth after realizing her efforts were futile and started teaching, only to pick up that hidden dream again a few years ago.

"But your Equinox Flower can allow a person to talk to the soul of the deceased, so it must allow us to see the soul, or at least hear it.

In that case, I should be able to solidify it and then put it into a body, which might make revival possible."

Li Ru Shi added from the side:

"Logically speaking, the body grown by my ability should be exactly the same as the original, but these bodies don't produce consciousness at all, so we speculate that this is due to the lack of a soul."

So, they've never succeeded in an experiment before.

No, they haven't even experimented.

Qi Jing thought that as long as there was a soul, revival would be guaranteed, but he didn't expect everything to be just a "speculation."

But as long as there's a glimmer of hope, they will surely succeed.

"We will definitely succeed."

"Definitely."

If they find Soul Essence and this revival is successful, they may never fear death again.

This will shock the whole world!

But it's too early to say that now. They don't even know what Soul Essence is yet.

Even if they knew, it might be difficult to obtain, or perhaps Soul Essence doesn't exist in this world at all.

"Instructor, can we use this Identification Machine?"

Qi Jing had seen three types of Identification Machines: one in the Synthesis Table that could identify the functions of weapons and equipment; one in Uncle Ma's pet store that could identify pets' skills; and this third one here, which could detect the composition of an item.

They're not like image recognition, retrieving similar data from an existing database to display.

Instead, they can detect things that have never appeared before, as if an ability user with the ability to "see through everything" has been installed inside.

"Sure, it's not needed now anyway, and it doesn't consume anything."

Li Ru Shi continued to sit at her original table, preparing to continue breeding.

"Don't touch anything else randomly ~"

"We promise we won't!"

Qi Jing came to the Identification Machine and placed his Azure-Purple Treasure Sword on it.

He wanted to see if he could get Instructor Li Ru Shi to help replicate some good things.

Azure-Purple Treasure Sword: Star Iron, Azure Lamp Buddha Core, Purple Lamp Buddha Core, Divine Power.

These things don't seem like they would exist in the modern world.

He clicked on each item on the screen, and the first few items all said "Item Not Found."

But the last one, "Divine Power," was actually recorded.

Divine Power: "Eastern God" type ability users produce this power, which is usually compatible with Source Energy and can be used as fuel for their ability.

Eastern God?

Qi Jing thought of Xi Quehan, who transformed into the God of Wealth. He should have this power.

"I'll put the Rooster Talisman on it and see."

Tan Zuoyin took out the Rooster Talisman and placed it on top.

Rooster Talisman: Calcium Carbonate, Ferrous Oxide, Devil Power · Fire.

So, the talisman is a gallstone of the Fire Devil? (Laugh)

Gallstones are easy to find, but this Devil Power definitely can't be found in the modern world.

Afterward, Qi Jing put many strange things on it, but almost all of them had some materials that didn't seem to exist in the modern world.

Like the Umbrella Sword's "Supernatural Power · Size Alteration" and "Memory Divine Metal."

But there were also some things that existed in the database, the most surprising of which was the "National Luck" in the Imperial Jade Seal, which could be seen by an ability called "Feng Shui Master."

That also meant that this Imperial Jade Seal could be grown through the instructor's ability.

However, although some substances don't exist, they can be replaced by other items.

The "I Love Frying Pan Power" in Red Wolf's frying pan can be replaced by the otherworld's "Wolf-Eating Bear Crystal" and "Skyfall Stone."

Tan Zuoyin said, "There are very few things you can replicate."

"Yeah, the proportion of things that can't be bred is so large.

It seems that "Soul Essence" is also likely not to exist in this world."

The Equinox Flower was also something Qi Jing drew that didn't belong to this world, so it seems normal that the "Soul Essence" within it doesn't exist in this world.

But if everyone goes to find things related to "Soul," they might find its substitute.
