Yu Guohui was stunned.
He didn't respond immediately. Instead, he set down his teacup and adjusted his glasses, "Little Qin … you should know that everything that happens today will be recorded in the SRC's files.
In video form. "
Qin Ye nodded deeply.
He looked her straight in the eyes.
A few seconds later, Yu Guohui nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Please go ahead."
"Nonsense!" On the first floor, among the five people watching the video, the three men in white coats stood up at the same time, their faces filled with anxiety.
Lin Han felt as if someone was watching him. It was a strange feeling. It wasn't strong, but under the other party's gaze, he felt as if he was naked.
He coughed lightly before coming back to his senses. "What's wrong?
What happened? "
"S9527 … simply … doesn't know the gravity of the situation!"
A man in a white lab coat with a square face seemed to be growing anxious, and he paced back and forth anxiously in the room, "Old Man Yu has already reminded him that everything that happened today will be recorded in the SRC's files.
This … is too much, really too much! "
Lin Han scratched his head. "What do you mean?"
Su Feng said lightly, "The literal meaning. Elder Yu's question was just a casual question. As the person involved, it's only right for him to have his own opinion.
But what I shouldn't do is … say it here. "
"Who are they?
He's one of Cathay's most renowned experts in the field of Yin spirits. After all, Qin Ye was the one who'd solved the problem. He'd invited Qin Ye here, and even recorded it in the form of a video. Truth be told, the reason why he'd invited Qin Ye here was because he wanted to give Qin Ye some pointers. Because of Qin Ye's status, all of Qin Ye's videos would go straight to the ears of the heavens.
Lin Han was puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better to say your opinion?"
Su Feng shook his head and said, "No. Do you think his views are better than those of the SRC?
He was just trying to show off in front of an expert. If he said it badly, what would the people above think of him?
You don't need to guess. Let me tell you: this little guy's strength is not bad, but he's too full of himself.
Once he has this kind of thinking, his future will probably be limited here. "
"Impressions are deeply rooted in a person's heart. Usually, it seems like nothing has happened.
But as soon as Qin Ye's promotion report was submitted to the higher-ups, their impression of Qin Ye immediately resurfaced.
Unless … "
Qin Ye glanced at the screen, and Lin Han probed further, "Unless … he's really come up with a new insight that's eye-opening?"
Su Feng nodded, then shook his head.
"Easier said than done."
He sighed, "The SRC … is the theoretical bridgehead of Cathay's war against the Yin spirits. It's going to be incredibly difficult to impress them."
Second floor.
"Then I'll embarrass myself."
Qin Ye knew full well when to hold back, and when to draw his sword. If he wanted to make this expert see him in a new light, these things wouldn't be enough.
Qin Ye was completely oblivious to the concerns of the people on the ground floor. To him, this was a treasure trove of thousands of years of Hell's knowledge.
No matter how powerful the SRC was, Arthis alone was more than enough to annihilate them all!
Qin Ye drew a deep breath and leaned forward, "My view is that … there are indeed many different types of Yin spirits, and each of them has its own distinct characteristics and dangers!"
Yu Guohui lowered his gaze, feeling slightly disappointed.
The recording was already underway, and it was too late to say anything now. He had hoped that Qin Ye would come up with some new insights, but … this was all within his expectations.
Others might not be aware of this, but given their statuses, all recordings of Yin spirits would have to be personally reviewed by Judge-class cultivators from the SRC and the Special Investigations Department.
Perhaps they would be able to come up with new ideas by analogy.
Qin Ye smiled faintly, "Mr Yu, what I'm trying to say is that … the distinct characteristics and dangers of Yin spirits are far greater than you can imagine."
"For instance?"
"For instance … Yin spirits."
As soon as Qin Ye mentioned this term, Old Man Yu immediately looked up. His first reaction was to search through his database of knowledge.
Nothing …
Nothing!
Still nothing!
This was a brand new term!
"This is … something you've come up with?" He asked with some measure of disbelief.
Qin Ye was far too young.
"... Apologies, I'm not questioning.
Rather, the classification of Yin spirits is a conjecture based on the accumulation of cases over a long period of time. Furthermore, you'll have to personally dissect the case to find out the truth.
Your age … "He didn't finish his sentence.
How much have you experienced at 18 years of age?
Qin Ye smiled.
How do you become a graceful bootlicker?
Naturally, you have to lick them until they shoot … No!
You have to lick them until they're comfortable, and you have to lick them where they want to be licked.
Of course, when it comes to scholars, you have to lick them.
Don't you know?
I'm sorry, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about the entire SRC … cough … Hell's collection over thousands of years. You guys don't know anything about Yin spirits at all!
I'm starting to get arrogant for no reason at all …
"There's one thing I didn't mention to Old Man Yu, and that's that I've asked about how the last Yin spirit appeared."
He continued, "That's when I learned that the last female Yin spirit was Song Jiafang's predecessor. She was pregnant before her death, and she was beaten to death while wearing cat pants. Because of the resentment in her heart, she was known as an evil ghost."
"I've got a theory."
He looked straight into Old Man Yu's eyes, "What if … this Yin spirit's bloodline is hidden within the bloodline like DNA?"
That's right. He hadn't mentioned the true conditions for the formation of the Great Intergenerational Heredity earlier.
Licking … has to be done slowly. I can't lick them all the way to the climax, can I?
Old Man Yu's gaze flickered, and he nearly stood up from his seat!
What a novel idea!
Yin spirits and science were two separate systems of thought. Over the past few decades, the SRC had been trying to integrate the two systems, such as the creation of weapons specifically designed to combat Yin spirits.
The crossbows in the City of Salvation originated from them. But … even they hadn't considered the possibility of the relationship between spirits and humans!
Spirits … are things that only appear after the death of a human …
So … why can't they be hidden within the human body?
"DNA … soul … Yin spirits …" Old Man Yu shut his eyes, and his mind began to spin rapidly.
His face gradually flushed red.
It's about to climax …
Back on the first floor, the men in white coats who were still worried earlier were now staring at the screen with their mouths agape with disbelief.
"What's the matter?" Lin Han and Su Feng tugged at the three men in white coats, "Did he say something wrong?"
"No …" One of the men in white coats turned around. His body trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with the mysteries of the universe and the connection between humans and the human race, "He … he said something incredible …"
Another man in a white coat took a deep breath. "Just these words alone … he deserves to be looked up to by others!"
Lin Han and Su Feng exchanged a puzzled glance. Su Feng thought for a moment, "Like I said, if Qin Ye can come up with a completely new theory, then … his future career will be just as smooth sailing."
"This is a double-edged sword. Leaving the stage for Old Man Yu without saying a word would be a pointless choice.
But … if he were to present the video to the higher-ups, and if he were to come up with a new theory, then he would be able to enter the sights of Zhou Xianlong and the others. "
He gazed deeply into Lin Han's eyes, "He's not an instructor. Rather … he's the backbone of Cathay's war against the supernatural.
Little Lin, we're all from the same family, and we're already in our twenties. Have you ever heard of anyone progressing so quickly over the years?
Entering the sights of the higher-ups? "
It was no different from a county magistrate who had established one of the top ten counties in the country while he was still a county magistrate.
This impression was no different from a deep footprint that had been deeply imprinted into the minds of the higher-ups.
It might seem useless now, but when Qin Ye began to run for the professorship, or even … the position of vice-chancellor of the University of Cultivators, it would all come into play!
"Hmm?
Little Qin?
I've seen his profile. He's very insightful. "
"Oh, Little Qin is running for the position of vice-chancellor.
His video is refreshing.
Not bad. "
As soon as these words came out of the mouth of an Infernal Judge, the outcome of the election was practically sealed.
The last man in a white lab coat massaged his temples with a similarly flushed face, "Research is sometimes a flash of inspiration in the mind, just like Newton and the apple.
Tonight … I've seen my own light! "
The voices on the first floor didn't reach the second floor.
Back on the second floor, Old Man Yu had already retracted his smile and was staring straight at Qin Ye, "That's a very good guess."
"Research relies on 1% inspiration, 49% speculation as motivation, and 50% hard work, all of which culminates in a topic of discussion."
"What I said just now was the lowest and most precious 1%!"
The three men in white lab coats on the first floor chuckled in unison.
Only those who were familiar with Old Man Yu would know that this level of praise was something that they might not even hear from Old Man Yu in three years.
The tea in front of Old Man Yu had already gone cold. The Soul Hunter from earlier walked in and whispered softly, "Professor Yu, do you need …"
"No."
Yu Guohui leaned back in his chair, "Nobody is to come in without my permission. Little Qin, let's continue."
That was more than enough to satisfy his lick.
Qin Ye continued, "When I was in the hunting zone of the Lost Tracks, I discovered that the ghost was in fact Song Jiafang's ancestor, commonly known as the ancestral spirit. If not for the fact that it's hidden in her bloodline, there's no way it could have been awakened.
Therefore, I've come up with the following deductions. "
"Firstly, it's highly likely that this type of Yin spirit requires a matrilineal ancestor to give birth to a ghost.
Furthermore, when it transforms into a ghost, it's likely to be born with a bloodline. "
"Secondly, the bloodline can only be awakened under certain circumstances.
I've given it a name - the Great Intergenerational Heredity. "
"The Great Intergenerational Heredity …" Yu Guohui mulled over the five words and nodded, "Very apt."
Qin Ye continued, "You've all seen for yourselves just how unique the ghosts of the Great Intergenerational Heredity are.
My deduction is that these ghosts are extremely difficult to form, and they probably only account for a fraction of a percent of the total number of Yin spirits in Cathay.
That said, the threat they pose far exceeds that of ordinary hunting zones! "
Yu Guohui nodded slightly. These were his deductions as well. Unfortunately, they weren't as complete as Qin Ye's.
The more he listened to Qin Ye, the more he felt that some of his earlier deductions had been validated.
The process of validating one's dao was clearly not something that Qin Ye was doing on purpose, and yet it still made him feel incomparably comfortable.
It's hard to find a soulmate.
"Who would've thought … that an eighteen -year-old kid would actually have such a profound insight into the special hunting zone that he encountered for the first time." Yu Guohui was secretly surprised, but he still perked up his spirits and continued.
Qin Ye continued, "And it's precisely because of this experience that I've been reminded of the existence of the nightmare spirit."
He turned to Yu Guohui, "Mr Yu, I'm now certain that there are some extremely unique existences among Yin spirits. They're incredibly difficult to form, but as soon as they do, the threat they pose is far greater than that of ordinary Yin spirits!
I suggest that the SRC and the Special Investigations Department take this matter very seriously. The nightmare spirit is one of the targets that must be eliminated as soon as it's discovered! "
"Because … they can reach the level of an incarnate revenant in just three short years!"
Yu Guohui looked up abruptly and gazed deeply into Qin Ye's eyes.
Several seconds later, he finally responded, "Incarnate revenant?"
"Yes, an Infernal Judge."
Qin Ye responded coldly, "While the other hunting zones are still in their infancy, they … are already able to summon the wind and summon the rain, shrouding an entire province in terror!"
