Chapter 761: Chapter 526: Secret_2 Chapter 761 -526: Secret_2 Watching the three people before him as the situation became increasingly tense, Chu Mo, although still unclear about what exactly had happened, had understood that the young girl in front of him seemed to have cultivated a very powerful cultivation technique, one that even the Great Grandmaster Lei Ting was wary of.
The Nine Revolutions Divine Technique was something Chu Mo heard of for the first time, but at that moment, he committed it deeply to memory.
Occasional passersby at the end of the alley would become visibly shocked when they saw the figures shrouded in mist; compounded by the terrifying aura emitted by the two top-tier masters, ordinary people were so frightened that they wouldn鈥檛 dare come close to spectate as usual but would flee as far as possible.
Chu Mo鈥檚 gaze landed on the tall girl before him, this young lady who called herself Qin Huanran appeared to be making a very important decision, a decision that seemed as if it could change her future destiny.
Therefore, she was extremely cautious and had still not made up her mind.
Chu Mo鈥檚 goal was definitely not to become enemies with the girl before him, regardless of how miraculous her Nine Revolutions Divine Technique was, it had nothing to do with him.
The sole reason for approaching her was to attempt to recruit the girl.
...
If he could succeed, all the better; even if he couldn鈥檛, he would simply drop the matter and continue to have tea with Wu Kunpeng芒鈧€漷hat was all.
He absolutely did not intend to draw upon himself such a formidable enemy.
So, seeing that the young girl before him was about to grit her teeth and make an important decision, Chu Mo, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up:
鈥淢iss Qin, whether you call yourself Qin Siran or Qin Huanran, as you said before, we had no interactions before this, not even to speak of any enmities.
At most, we can be considered acquaintances.
I only hope that we don鈥檛 let misunderstandings lead to unnecessary consequences.鈥
潣梆潣佛潡答潣?co
The girl in front of him gently closed her eyes, a hint of resentment seemingly flashing in them, but after a moment, the entire person became collected as she spoke with a helpless face:
鈥淥ne month, if only you could give me one month鈥檚 time, I could cultivate to A-rank.
By then, even if two SS-ranked individuals stood before me, I wouldn鈥檛 have the slightest fear!
Alas, why didn鈥檛 fate allow me to meet you a month later?鈥
As the long-haired girl finished speaking, she seemed to have given up resisting, staring directly at Chu Mo with an exceedingly calm expression as she said:
鈥淪peak then, state your terms.
I don鈥檛 want my decades of effort to fall short at the last moment.
However, if you push things too far, I鈥檇 rather risk scattering my cultivation and perish together with you!鈥 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
After the girl spoke, Chu Mo frowned slightly, not quite understanding her meaning, but before he could say anything, Lei Ting suddenly said:
鈥淒on鈥檛 talk big.
The Nine Revolutions Divine Technique focuses on the unification of Nine Revolutions, and this technique requires the practitioner to reach the pinnacle of A-rank and then start the process again, experiencing 鈥榙issipation鈥 nine times.
When a cultivator reaches the pinnacle of A-rank for the ninth time, they would unleash all the power from the previous cultivations, bypassing S-rank directly and attaining SS-rank.鈥
鈥淭hose who give up halfway will completely lose all their cultivation, wasting decades of effort.
I don鈥檛 believe you can bear to let go of your decades鈥 worth of hard work.鈥
Lei Ting鈥檚 words ended, and the girl鈥檚 face flushed with an unusual hint of red.
She glared fiercely at Lei Ting, her voice slightly sharp:
鈥淭he Nine Revolutions Technique should have long been lost to time, and the world shouldn鈥檛 know of it.
How could you be so familiar with this technique?鈥
Lei Ting merely shook his head slightly, then spoke indifferently:
鈥淚 was once a disciple under Master Lianshang of the Shaolin Abbot, where I studied for a year.
During that year in Shaolin, I read martial arts scriptures in the Scripture Hall, one of which was the Nine Revolutions Divine Technique.
This is also how I managed to recognize your identity at a glance.鈥
Chu Mo watched as the expression on the girl鈥檚 face became fierce.
When he heard Lei Ting鈥檚 explanation, he realized that the young-looking girl, who appeared to be sixteen or seventeen, might actually be an old person beyond their natural years.
With this thought in mind, Chu Mo couldn鈥檛 help shaking his head slightly.
After a moment of silence and not wanting to waste more time or rouse Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 suspicions, he directly stated:
鈥渀
鈥淪ince we are all martial artists, let鈥檚 skip the formalities, and I鈥檒l just speak plainly.
I hope Miss Qin can join our Magic City Detective Agency.
As you can see, not only do we have the two top-level experts here, but we also have one of the Ten Great Grandmasters, Grandmaster Jiang Dingnan, as well as two other S-rank masters, and countless other first-rate masters!
After Miss Qin joins our agency, I can personally offer her the treatment of a level-nine detective, with a monthly salary of one million.
Of course, if Miss Qin refuses, then we鈥檒l pretend this meeting never happened, and we will stay out of each other鈥檚 way in the future!鈥
As Chu Mo finished speaking, the young woman in front of him immediately widened her eyes and looked straight at Chu Mo, her voice filled with surprise for the first time:
鈥淵our offer is that simple?
Just for me to join you?
And there鈥檚 a monthly salary of one million?鈥
Chu Mo, noticing the girl鈥檚 incredulous expression, slightly furrowed his brows, thinking that the salary he offered was too little.
One must know that although the young woman in front of him is currently only an upper B-rank, it wouldn鈥檛 take long for her to reach SS-rank.
The level of a Great Grandmaster is not something that can be measured by money; each of them commands their own domain, and a yearly salary of ten million might be an astronomical figure to ordinary people, but for such experts, it might indeed not be enough.
Therefore, without much hesitation, Chu Mo straightaway clapped his hand in agreement and said:
鈥淎n annual salary of one billion, this is just the starting point.
If Miss Qin can make any contributions to our detective agency in the future, the compensation is negotiable.鈥
After Chu Mo spoke, the young woman let out a long sigh of relief, then immediately picked up the backpack on the ground, her whole demeanor relaxed, and she spoke:
鈥淢y real name is Qin Lan, Mr.
Chu, right?
Since you have so many top experts obeying you, you must be no ordinary person.
Following someone like you isn鈥檛 a disgrace.
Please, teach me a lot in the future!鈥
Chu Mo looked at the girl鈥檚 fair, delicate hand extending towards him, and he was momentarily taken aback.
However, seeing Lei Ting鈥檚 relaxed expression beside him, he let a hint of a smile show on his face and said:
鈥淢iss Qin Lan!
Then please, teach me a lot in the future as well!鈥
鈥淵ou probably won鈥檛 stay in the academy much longer, right?
I want to go back and say goodbye to Dean Wu before leaving.
After all, I鈥檝e been reincarnated here four times, for a total of twenty years.
Since the founding of this academy, I have always been here, and now that I鈥檓 leaving, I want to say a proper farewell.
When you leave, I鈥檒l come find you.鈥
After the girl finished speaking, Chu Mo nodded slightly.
At that moment, Lei Ting grabbed Chu Mo鈥檚 wrist once again, and accompanied by a bout of dizziness, when he opened his eyes again, Chu Mo found that he had left the alley and was back in front of the principal鈥檚 office.
Chu Mo looked at the closed door in front of him, and he straightened his collar before suddenly inquiring:
鈥淟ei Ting, what exactly is this Nine Revolutions Divine Technique?
Why do I feel that Qin Lan seemed really afraid of being caught by us?鈥
Lei Ting鈥檚 expression remained unchanged as he replied in a steady voice:
鈥淢r.
Chu might not know, the Nine Revolutions Divine Technique is very special; it requires the practitioner to cultivate it nine times, each time reaching the peak of A-rank and inevitably dispersing their cultivation.
After nine rounds of cultivation, the practitioner will have amassed a vast amount of True Qi inside their body!
If she were to be captured at this time and used as a 鈥榝urnace,鈥 her vast quantity of True Qi could be extracted, allowing an S-rank expert to advance directly to SS-rank.
That鈥檚 also why she ran away after her identity was exposed.鈥
Hearing this, Chu Mo nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and then composed himself before pushing open the door.
As the faint scent of tea wafted towards him, Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 hearty laugh once again reached his ears.
