Chapter 586 - 586: It’s My Turn Now! (1)
Tiger Soul Research Institute’s headquarters.
3 p.m.
A bus with the Star City Academy’s emblem gradually stopped at the entrance of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
AS the door opened, Feng Qi, Lin Ran, and the other students got out of the vehicle.
It was not easy to apply for permission to visit the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Every year, the major cultivation technique specialization classes would apply in large numbers. However, there were very few classes that could get approval.
After all, the Tiger Soul Research Institute was not a museum. Its existence was to promote the development of human cultivation.
However, Feng Qi was confident that he could apply for the right to visit the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
There were three main reasons.
Firstly, he led the cultivation class to win the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s Concept Contest.
Secondly, the Tiger Soul Research Institute had the intention of recruiting him in advance. However, he had chosen to reject it back then, but not entirely.
He was also a recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution, and his application would be valued.
Thirdly, Lin Ran’s name was on the guest list.
Lin Ran was tempting to the Tiger Soul Research Institute, or rather, to the Night Shadow Race behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
He suspected that the Night Shadow Race had taken a fancy to Lin Ran’s talent in spells when he was accepted by the Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance. After all, the core goal of the Night Shadow Race was to use the resources and talents of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to create a super spell for the development of their race.
This reason was completely valid.
After getting out of the car one after another, Feng Qi looked at the entrance of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
At this moment, there was already a staff member waiting at the entrance. After seeing Feng Qi, he took two steps forward to confirm his identity. He shone the device in his hand at Feng Qi’s face, and details immediately appeared on the screen.
After confirming his identity, the staff member waved behind him. Immediately, the retractable metal door slid to the side. The security guards standing in front of the door also walked to the sides to make way.
“Teacher Feng, there are many restricted areas in the Tiger Soul Research Institute, so filming is not allowed. I hope you can cooperate with us.”
“Don’t worry, I understand the rules.”
Feng Qi nodded. Then, he turned to look at Lin Ran and the others.
“Deposit all your electronics in the security room first. Collect them when we leave.”
After saying that, he walked past the metal door first and came to the security screening door. He took out his mobile phone and placed it in the storage box at the side.
After passing through the security gate, the alarm did not sound.
At this moment, he turned to look at Lin Ran and the others.
Other than his cell phone, there was a small tracker embedded in the back of his neck.
However, the tracker developed by the Scarlet Research Institute was not made of ordinary materials. When they were researching and designing it, they had long thought of special situations.
After undergoing numerous upgrades over 1,500 years, this tracker could even deceive the detection devices at the Scarlet Research Institute. It had seamlessly integrated with its host’s body.
The Scarlet Research Institute had even entertained the possibility of the tracker detaching after he activated the Blood Source. This time, they affixed the tracker to the back of his neck bone, going beyond mere embedding into the flesh.
At this moment, Lin Ran and the others passed through the security check one after another and stored the electronic items they carried in their storage boxes.
The staff member in charge of showing them around drove a tour bus over.
Feng Qi got onto the bus first and sat beside the staff member. Lin Ran and the others also got into the vehicle.
During the headcount, Feng Qi winked at Mu Qing, who was sitting in the fourth row in the back seat.
Mu Qing nodded in understanding.
After counting the number of people, the tour bus slowly drove towards the building complex in the distance.
Along the way, the staff member enthusiastically introduced the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s history.
He talked about many things that were not recorded in the textbooks.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute was founded in the early days of the calamity. During that period, the rudimentary concept of human cultivation had not yet emerged. Their understanding was limited to the existence of a umque substance in the world, referred to by human scholars as Spiritual Qi. During that period, humans desperately wanted to know how Spiritual Qi made domain creatures stronger.
Could humans replicate this method of rapid growth and strength?
Thus, the concept of cultivation was born.
At that time, a large number of Spiritual Qi research laboratories appeared in various cities. They were the prototype of the early cultivation technique research institutes.
Due to the absence of a well-established frontline supply area system in the early stages, the resources available to humans from the domain were extremely limited. Given these challenging conditions, each Spiritual Qi research institute had only meager resources at its disposal.
At that time, to speed up the research of Spiritual Qi, the higher-ups of Star City had pushed for the reorganization of the Spiritual Qi research institutes and gathered the resources to make use of them.
The Tiger Soul Research Institute was born under those circumstances.
Reality proved that the decision of Star City’s higher-ups at that time was a wise one. Compared to distributing resources, it was obvious that gathering resources and talents could better develop cultivation.
But in that era, everything was difficult.
Human scholars had yet to establish a complete database of domain resources.
The early scholars of the Tiger Soul Research Institute often suffered from the radiation of special spiritual energy substances. Their bodily functions were damaged, and they generally did not live past 40 years old.
It was akin to Shennong tasting a hundred herbs. The contents of the initial database could be described as having been filled out with his life experiences.
At that time, there were many talents in the Tiger Soul Research Institute who contributed greatly to the perfection of the cultivation concept.
At its peak, the Tiger Soul Research Institute even surpassed the Milky Way Research Institute and became the most popular cultivation technique research institute at that time..
