"Mm." Gu Qingyi nodded seriously, with some worry in her eyes: "You must never go to the Domain Realm in the future."
"Don’t worry, I’d die in this world rather than go to the Domain Realm! I’d never go even if you beat me to death!"
"It’s good that you think that way." Gu Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about you?" Chen Yan frowned, looking at Young Lady Gu, "You’re going to marry Chen Jue... after the nether marriage, you’ll be the wife of the Chen Family. Chen Jue has such a big secret and karma, and it involves the Great Celestial Venerable...
Aren’t you worried that, returning to the Domain Realm, the identity of ’Chen Jue’s wife’ will bring you trouble?"
Gu Qingyi shook her head: "When a person dies, the debt is written off. Chen Jue is already dead, so even if the Great Celestial Venerable targeted him, it’s a thing of the past. There’s no reason to punish me.
Moreover... my marriage contract was written by the Great Celestial Venerable. My actions comply with the celestial order, so even the Great Celestial Venerable has no reason to cause me trouble."
Hearing this, Chen Yan suddenly had a thought.
"There are two Great Celestial Venerables in the Domain Realm. I think... the Great Celestial Venerable who dealt with Chen Jue and the one who wrote your marriage contract... shouldn’t be the same person, right?"
Gu Qingyi thought carefully for a moment and shook her head: "I don’t know, probably not."
This trip to handle the He Family’s affairs ended here. The two chatted a bit more, talking about Gu Qingyi’s days at home... suddenly, the little Consort Mother complained.
"Your world’s Spring Festival Gala is getting worse and worse. After Mrs. Zhao passed away, there was still Old Zhao to watch. But later, after Old Zhao stopped performing... it really became intolerable! The last few years’ Spring Festival Galas I watched, sigh!"
As she spoke, Gu Qingyi shook her head and gave her verdict: "It’s nothing!"
Chen Yan thought for a moment, then pulled Gu Qingyi back to the living room and tuned the TV to a few variety shows: ’Talk Show Conference’ and ’Annual Comedy Competition.’
"Watch this, it’s much more interesting than the Spring Festival Gala."
Gu Qingyi pouted: "Your evaluation isn’t high... I think any show is more interesting than the Spring Festival Gala."
Though she complained, Young Lady Gu still hugged the remote control and sat on the sofa.
Chen Yan went downstairs to the basement training room. After sitting down, he began studying the White Fox Inner Core, holding the inner core in his hand and infusing it with primordial qi...
A moment later, Chen Yan felt something, and the spell for the innate divine technique flashed instantly in his mind...
In an hour, Chen Yan had mostly grasped the innate divine technique of the White Fox... essentially ready-made.
This divine technique was already imprinted in the inner core, so he didn’t need to learn or cultivate it bit by bit. He only needed to master the knack of activating the spell.
However, with Chen Yan’s current cultivation and Tao practice, he tested it and could transform into an entity no more than three times his current size—dreaming of becoming a Godzilla taller than a skyscraper was just that—a dream!
At the smallest, he could only shrink to the size of an ant.
This spell, however, had a characteristic: to transform, you must clearly visualize the appearance of the thing in your mind.
In other words, if you want to become an ant, you must clearly think of the appearance of an ant in your mind.
If you want to become a specific person, you must clearly depict the person’s features in your mind.
This step is called: Visualization.
Moreover... the initial visualization only changes the appearance; it cannot acquire the abilities of the transformed object.
For instance, if you transform into a bird, you merely take on the appearance of a bird but cannot fly.
To become a bird and want the ability to fly requires more complex operations: becoming a bird, if you want to fly, merely visualizing the bird’s appearance, head, body, and wings... is not enough!
One must also visualize the bird’s skeleton and muscles in their mind!
Birds can fly because their bones are hollow, significantly reducing their weight. Combined with aerodynamic factors, they can soar in the air...
In other words, the more specific the visualization, the more basic abilities of the transformed object can be obtained.
Otherwise, the transformed bird cannot fly, and the transformed spider cannot weave webs...
"This divine technique is not as simple as I initially thought."
Chen Yan pondered, then picked up the phone to send a message to "Campus Part-Time King · Xiaozhao."
He quickly received a reply.
On winter break, President Zhao had already returned home, bringing a few classmates to Hengdian to work as extras for fun and earning some pocket money on the side.
"I remember you mentioned you had a high school classmate at Jinling Agricultural University?"
"Then do me a favor, find some classmates from their biology department, and buy a set of animal anatomy textbooks and notes, the more complete, the better..."
Xiaozhao was silent for a long time before replying, not with text but with a voice message.
Chen Yan clicked it, hearing Xiaozhao’s somewhat nervous voice.
"Bro, are you planning to kill someone? Are you researching how to dismember and dispose of a body?"
Chen Yan replied angrily: "Get lost! If I were to kill someone, you’d be the first I’d slice up."
Xiaozhao cheerfully agreed, promising to find someone to buy a set—every year, many graduates sell their old textbooks and notes, and this kind of thing is quite common on campus. If he managed to get them, he would mail them to Chen Yan.
Hmm, Zhao Shanhe’s brother is indeed reliable in his work.
Chen Yan praised him in his heart and put down the phone.
But soon, the phone rang again; this time, the call was from the real estate agent Hu Shangke, also known as Hu Licking Dog.
