Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuan thought about the matter of the Secret Serpent Sect and felt it was worth a try.

In fact, he had seen this project when browsing the Secret Serpent Sect platform before, but he didn't choose it because he thought the paid project was expensive at the time, and he also had some concerns.

But now that Cao Guixi was vouching for him, he would naturally not miss this opportunity to improve.

After expressing his willingness to accept to Cao Guixi, he sat for a while, finished a cup of tea, and then left.

Uncle Ding didn't speak, but just sighed softly.

After Chen Chuan left Mo Tie Mountain, he drove all the way back.

Halfway, he received a notification on his Realm Tablet informing him that his vehicle ownership application had been approved, and the ownership of the two vehicles had been transferred to his name.

At the same time, he was also notified that the temporary pass was valid for another half month, and he was required to obtain a driver's license during this period.

He had paid a fee to the Processing Bureau and related departments at the end of last month, and now there were finally results.

Because the Jetta was an ordinary commuter car, it wasn't expensive, so he paid for it himself.

However, the Silver Lightning was more expensive, and because he didn't usually need it, he discussed it with Wu Bei and Lao Qi.

The two felt that such a good car was worth keeping, and it looked like it hadn't been driven a few times, so they finally used public funds to obtain the ownership, so that anyone could use it when they needed it.

Now that the car was in hand, he had to find time to take the driver's test.

However, this was very easy in Central City, because even if your own driving skills were not up to par, you could pay some fees and use the Realm Tablet to connect to inactive consciousnesses for prompts and assisted driving.

Moreover, he had gradually become familiar with it these days, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a license.

After returning to the Xuangong Building, he opened the information about Qingnang Jade Workshop that Uncle Ding had given him.

The reason he didn't immediately agree at the time was because if Qingnang Jade Workshop only wanted him to test drugs, that would be fine, but if they wanted to conduct long-term observation and testing on him, that would be a trouble.

However, after reading it, perhaps because the target was different, the conditions were relatively relaxed, but after careful examination, the initial conditions were actually not low.

It required at least a combatant close to the Third Threshold, and after official testing, the probability of entering the Third Threshold had to be above 65%.

This drug should have been out for a while, not just these two months.

Cao Guixi didn't mention this matter last time, presumably because the value was still low during the first test.

However, this brought a contradiction.

People who possessed this condition basically had a great chance of entering the Third Threshold, it was just a matter of sooner or later.

However, the unknown nature of a new drug was too great.

It could potentially harm the body or overdraw potential, so people were definitely very cautious in this matter, and they would probably rather be slower than make this choice.

Moreover, apart from those combatants cultivated by the companies themselves, few combatants would allow the company to examine their own physical condition and allow others to easily obtain their data.

Presumably for this reason, Qingnang Jade Workshop made certain compromises, only requiring to fill out a report each month according to their requirements and answer some of the company's questions.

If one felt it was inappropriate, they could interrupt at any time, and if the drug tester purchased Qingnang Jade Workshop's drugs in the future, they could enjoy certain discounts.

He thought for a while, if it was just like this, he would be inclined to agree, so he contacted Uncle Ding using the Realm Tablet, expressing that he was willing to accept, and the latter said that he would make arrangements and asked him to rest assured.

After dealing with this matter, he went to the training room to conduct his daily training.

Now his focus was on knife techniques, which was related to the assessment of this semester.

If the assessment score was high, it could help improve the academy's evaluation score.

An afternoon passed unconsciously.

In the evening, he received a package from Yangzhi City, and couldn't help but feel excited, guessing that it should be Director Lei's reply to him.

Opening it, he saw a well-sealed thick notebook inside.

He flipped through it and saw dense annotations on various texts on the photos, as well as some attached opinions and guidance.

The content was very detailed, and it was densely written, with some handwriting being relatively delicate, indicating that it was recorded by Senior Sister He.

Director Lei also told him that the things he brought this time were very valuable, because through this thing, it could be determined that a currently active sect had a close relationship with a certain evil cult.

He would report the situation, and if it was true, he would be credited for it later.

He also thanked him for the toy he sent to Xiaoying, saying that Xiaoying liked it very much.

He bought a lot of toys from Central City last time, and in addition to those for his younger cousins, he also sent a few to Director Lei's place along the way.

After tidying up the things a little, he sat back on the sofa and flipped through the information, comparing it with Director Lei's annotations.

Many places in the original old book that he didn't understand immediately became clear.

Moreover, in addition to the annotations, Director Lei also wrote down the origins of many places and the reasons for doing so.

This was no less than personal guidance, and after reading it once, he felt that his knowledge of the secret sect had increased a lot.

Not only that, after reading these things, Director Lei seemed to have roughly guessed what he wanted to do, so he also gave him some suggestions purely from the aspect of secret sect rituals.

After reading everything, he felt that he could try to operate it.

This time he was going to complete a covenant ceremony, which was to be slightly modified on the basis of the original ceremony, so that the Tanuki Weird Tale in his hand could be used by him.

He didn't intend to re-establish the covenant, because that earliest covenant must have been paid a great price, which may also include a large number of lives.

Here, it cannot be ordinary people, it must be old cultists who are willing to give their lives.

Assuming he wanted to start from scratch, then this step would be indispensable, otherwise the Weird Tale would not respond.

But if it was just continuing and changing it, it would be much easier, because that part of the price had already been paid in advance, and he didn't have to pay anything extra.

Also, depicting this kind of ritual requires strong malice and state of mind, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Chen Chuan asked himself that he couldn't do it either, but by using the original ritual pattern, there was no need to think about it.

Director Lei also corrected several traps left over from the old book ritual in the information.

This was originally only known to internal personnel of the secret sect, in order to prevent the things from being lost and used by others, and in turn, to trick the other side.

But times have changed, and much of the knowledge of the secret sect has now been thoroughly studied by the Secret Sect Bureau.

The seemingly secret information is no longer exclusively enjoyed by a certain sect, and it is easy to correct it.

However, this still belongs to secret knowledge, and is still only in the hands of a few people.

If it wasn't for a highly professional person like Director Lei, ordinary members of the Secret Sect Bureau would really not be able to figure it out.

It's just that this ritual needs to be held at a fixed time to achieve the desired effect.

According to the description in the old book, the date originally selected for the ritual was in the middle of the month, so it is best to choose the middle of the month this time as well.

This still requires waiting a few days, but he can just take this opportunity to prepare.

In the following time, in addition to training during the day, he pondered the ritual before resting at night, in order to thoroughly understand this thing and make sure there were no omissions.

On the fourteenth, he said hello to Gao Ming, and then took the ritual materials and drove to the wasteland in front of Teacher Wu's house, and used the rubble bricks and the remaining cement walls here to make a larger-scale arrangement.

In order not to be disturbed or tracked halfway, he also specially asked Wu Bei to shield his travel traces.

After the initial arrangements were done, he took out the information book and began to trace the pattern according to the pattern on it.

This time, three ritual patterns were to be arranged: release, fixation, and the final covenant.

The first two were relatively simple, especially the fixation ritual, which he had experience with twice, so he could easily arrange it, but the last one was more difficult.

Because the goals to be achieved were different, the patterns of the rituals were also different.

The arranger used the ritual pattern to communicate with the Weird Tale, which required removing the original unnecessary part and filling in the new necessary part.

It looked complicated, but in fact, Director Lei had already given him guidance on the general framework, and he only needed to arrange it according to the fixed method.

His requirement was that he would let the Weird Tale deal with a specific person when needed, and before that, he would offer a necessary sacrifice, but not sacrifice his own alienated organization.

The method may cause the Weird Tale to no longer be as fierce as before, because before, it was equivalent to confining the Weird Tale in a stone sculpture that was almost isolated from the outside world, not allowing it to devour people from the outside world.

When it needed to be used, it would be given a little bait, and then the half-hungry Weird Tale would tear at the target.

The Weird Tale would regard this attack target as its own need to survive, and would definitely be able to exert its full power, but now that it was given a sacrifice first, and then asked the Weird Tale to do things, the power of the Weird Tale might not be fully exerted.

But this became very controllable, and the sacrifice was also determined by him.

In Central City, it was very easy to find a heinous criminal.
