"Manager Zhang, could it be that the equipment malfunctioned?"

Jiang Mu's tone was full of disbelief, accompanied by a sense of wishful thinking.

He absolutely refused to believe that Xiao Mu could kill the mutated being from the Life and Death Sect, Mid Fifth Realm.

A mutated being in the Mid Fifth Realm was by nature very powerful, especially when it came from the Life and Death Sect, its strength would double.

"There's no mistake."

Zhang Rui shook his head, looked at Xiao Mu in astonishment, and praised, "It appears that your real strength far exceeds what we see on the surface. You were actually able to kill a creature from the Life and Death Sect, Fifth Realm."

Xiao Mu gave a faint smile, deliberately glanced at Jiang Mu, and said, "Thanks to Captain Jiang's favor, otherwise how could I have the opportunity to get four hundred energy fruits at once?"

"Hmph!"

Jiang Mu snorted. He obviously understood Xiao Mu's sarcasm, which was meant to ridicule him.

He turned around, flapped his robe, and walked away from the ancient palace.

He worried that if he stayed any longer, he would explode in anger at Xiao Mu.

All of this was because he had misjudged Xiao Mu's strength, and now he was somewhat regretful.

Zhang Rui and Wang Yue both noticed Jiang Mu's reaction. They subtly turned to glance at Jiang Mu's retreating figure and then turned their heads back.

Both of them had noticed the discord between Jiang Mu and Xiao Mu.

However, it was not within their jurisdiction to interfere.

Wang Yue said: "Xiao Mu, after you killed the Life and Death Sect creature in the Mid Fifth Realm, ten-plus checks were made, and the reward of four hundred energy fruits will be given to you this afternoon. Remember to check your identity badge."

The energy fruit will be directly credited to his identity badge. Whenever Xiao Mu needs it, he can just bring his badge to the warehouse to claim it, which is very convenient.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Mu expressed his thanks.

Zhang Rui and Wang Yue came quickly and left quickly. After making sure everything was in order, they immediately left.

At eight o'clock, when Chen Juan and others came for shift change, after the handover, Xiao Mu left the ancient palace to go to Lan Cai's office.

"Captain Lan."

Xiao Mu stood in front of Lan Cai's desk, "I would like you to help me investigate why Jiang Mu hates me so much, even though I don't remember ever offending him."

"No problem."

Lan Cai agreed, and then looked at Xiao Mu in surprise, "You were able to kill a creature from the Life and Death Sect, Mid Fifth Realm. Your strength is much stronger than I imagined."

As the head of the supervision team, Lan Cai was well informed. She had heard about Xiao Mu killing the creature from the Life and Death Sect, Mid Fifth Realm, first thing in the morning.

"Just by luck."

Xiao Mu replied modestly.

"Creatures from the Life and Death Sect, cultivate the Two Forces of Life and Death, and are almost the hardest to kill. To be able to kill one in the Mid Fifth Realm is definitely not a matter of luck."

Lan Cai shook her head slightly, her expression plainly telling him that there was no need to be modest.

"Captain Lan, you've been in the Song relics for a long time, do you know anyone who can interpret Divine Thought Stream?"

Xiao Mu changed the subject and asked Lan Cai.

The appearance of a creature from the Life and Death Sect made him feel a huge threat and he was eager to improve his strength.

In addition, the secret arts related to the Power of Life and Death used by King Daluo also made Xiao Mu very interested.

Whether it's the Life and Death Line cutting into life and death, or the Life-draining Grass sucking up life, both are too powerful. And most mutated beings, even if they are stronger, are likely to be helpless when confronted.

It can be said that before stepping into the True Realm, in the absence of top-level powers such as Chaos Power and Hongmeng Power, the strength of the Two Forces of Life and Death is beyond doubt.

The Song relics do not have the Secret Manual related to the Two Forces of Life and Death, but Xiao Mu has a half-broken divine thought bead in his hand.

This peculiar treasure of Life and Death, Xiao Mu suspects that it contains a method for cultivating secret arts related to the Two Forces of Life and Death. The key, however, is how to interpret it.

When it comes to interpreting divine thoughts, he doesn't have his own pathway, so he asked Lan Cai again.

"A divine thought bead? You have a divine thought bead?"

Lan Cai was surprised that Xiao Mu actually had a divine thought bead.

The function of the divine thought bead is similar to the hard disk inside a computer where all sorts of information are stored. The difference is that the content in the divine thought bead far exceeds the knowledge level of the real world. It cannot be expressed in words or pictures and can only be stored using Divine Sense.

Such stored information is intuitive and cannot be verbally transmitted. Even if ordinary people get it, they can't interpret it. They can only absorb it directly by absorbing energy.

"It's just a half-broken divine thought bead."

Xiao Mu downplayed it, "I don't know if it's useful or not. I intend to try and interpret it to see what exactly it contains."

He purposely concealed the fact that the divine thought bead in his hand was related to the Two Forces of Life and Death.

Lan Cai did not suspect anything.

"Interpreting a divine thought bead is extremely complex. It's impossible for anyone who is not extremely well-versed in knowledge to do. In this case, you can try to find Xuan Zhizi in the Ancient Classics Room. He is very knowledgeable, a scholar from the Tang Dynasty who attained Dao. He might be able to interpret the divine thought bead in your hand."

Soon, Lan Cai made a suggestion to Xiao Mu.

"Xuan Zhizi?"

Xiao Mu vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person in the Ancient Classics Room, but he didn't have a deep impression. Besides, when he went to the ancient palace back then, he had a clear purpose-to borrow books, so he didn't pay attention to others.

Lan Cai added, "This person is a scholar who has attained Dao. He's a bit of a bookworm but his strength is very formidable. Anyway, you do your best not to anger him, be polite when you ask him, or else I can't help you."

"Besides, this person is extremely demanding in his daily life, so when you go to see him, I suggest you bring some fruit plates and the like, otherwise he may not be willing to talk to you."
