When that feeling of unease came, Baiyu didn't hesitate at all and immediately exited the Spiritual Light Gate.

In the room of the Qiong Ning Chamber of Commerce branch in the Outer City.

Baiyu opened his eyes.

Just as his spirit recovered, there was a knock on the door.

It was Qiong Zhen.

Although this elder of the Qiong Clan was much older and more powerful than Baiyu,

his status was still incomparable to Baiyu's.

So even though it wasn't explicitly stated,

these people had an extremely respectful attitude towards Baiyu.

Whether it was a big or small matter, they observed all formalities.

Like now,

Qiong Zhen knocked on the door several times, and although Baiyu didn't answer, he was not impatient, as he would have been with others.

But because it was Baiyu,

he was willing to continue waiting outside the door, not daring to overstep even slightly.

Creak...

The door opened wide.

When Qiong Zhen knocked on the door for the fifth time, Baiyu finally opened it.

Earlier, he was a bit puzzled.

Being in the Qiong Ning Chamber of Commerce, if that sense of warning from within the Spiritual Light Gate indicated danger, the Qiong Ning Chamber of Commerce would already be in chaos.

Now it seems.

The Spiritual Light Gate was alerting him that someone was approaching.

"What's the matter?"

He glanced at Qiong Zhen, who looked hurried, and asked calmly.

Qiong Zhen replied, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the Anomaly Bureau sent a message for us prominent families to stay at home and not go out, so as not to affect the government's activities.

And also,

your friends want to see you."

Baiyu was not surprised by these two pieces of news.

It's only natural for the government to ask people to stay indoors during such times to make their work easier.

And it's even more normal for Lan Ziyue and the others to want to see him.

"Alright.

Recently, make sure to restrain our people and don't go out unnecessarily for now.

As for my friends, have someone provide them with food and drink, and let them know I'll meet them after I'm done in a day or two."

Baiyu said.

He still didn't have much information on Lan Ziyue's sudden appearance and this bounty hunter squad.

Baiyu needed more time to investigate their background.

After all,

in this world full of magical elements, every step must be taken with caution.

Women and children might be careless, but men cannot be.jpg!

So Baiyu decided not to meet with Lan Ziyue for the time being.

Afraid of an awkward encounter.

He hadn't figured out how to deal with or settle this "old classmate."

He decided to wait and let things unfold a bit.

After sending Qiong Zhen away, Baiyu returned to the study. With his current reading and memory capabilities, the three books he brought from the library weren't difficult to understand.

Having read them thoroughly for just two hours, he had basically grasped all the knowledge points.

These ancient Extraordinary Books,

actually had a similarity to modern extraordinary theoretical systems.

Baiyu found it easy to connect concepts and draw inferences, reading with ease and pleasure.

Finally,

after he finished reading all three books, in the scholar space,

the task panel suddenly lit up.

The task labeled [Spirit] showed a "completed" notation.

Then on the cabinet at the bottom of the task panel,

there was a clatter.

The drawer popped open by itself, with a colorful, mysterious fruit inside.

"Is this the Wisdom Fruit?"

Baiyu looked at the fruit in the drawer, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Logically speaking,

a name as impressive as Wisdom Fruit should have a powerful effect. But upon appearance, it had no special effects and caused no heavenly phenomena.

This made Baiyu question its efficacy.

It didn't even look appealing.

As we know, in nature, the more brightly colored something is, the more dangerous it tends to be.

This Wisdom Fruit had seven colors blended together, seemingly reluctant to be unnoticed.

Baiyu felt a bit helpless.

The scholar space was still the same hardcore scholar space, with no hints whatsoever during task rewards.

If only they gave a basic explanation when rewarding tasks, damn it.

Of course,

he could only think this way.

After hesitating for a moment, Baiyu carefully picked up the Wisdom Fruit.

In the scholar space, his spirit body appeared, which could avoid most harm.

Moreover,

the scholar space was always the safest place.

Even the whispers of the Evil Gods couldn't reach here.

Baiyu studied the fruit closely for a long time, finding that merely observing wouldn't yield any results.

Just looking would never reveal its purpose.

So better to eat it.

As for planting, Baiyu hadn't even considered it.

Not to mention the growing environment, would this thing actually grow into a wisdom tree?

Having decided on his approach,

Baiyu banished his last bit of hesitation, opened his mouth, and placed the fruit in his mouth.

Based on past experiences, the more colorful and uniquely shaped something was, the stranger it might taste.

Just like Demon Fruit and the like.

So Baiyu swallowed the Wisdom Fruit without chewing.

The entire process felt quite good, without any accidents.

Smooth going down, a single line in the throat.

Before Baiyu could react, the Wisdom Fruit had already reached his stomach.

He wondered what effect this thing would have.

Generally speaking,

after the scholar space task system's reform, the first task reward received, irrespective of the task, wouldn't be disappointing.

As he pondered,

a warm flow suddenly rose in his stomach, like a ball of fire rampaging in his body.

Baiyu's expression slightly changed.

At this moment, he was in the scholar space, in spiritual form.

However,

after swallowing the Wisdom Fruit, even his spiritual form underwent significant changes.

The heat swept through every part of his body like fire.

In Baiyu's mind,

various pieces of knowledge exploded like a tsunami.

At this moment, he found the world exceptionally clear, and his thoughts were exceedingly lucid.

Issues he couldn't comprehend before,

now became instantly clear.

Knowledge that he previously couldn't digest or understand could now be processed instantly.

"My Spiritual Power is surging!"

Baiyu saw the attribute panel alongside the task panel in the scholar space and couldn't help but react.

His Spiritual Power had risen to over a thousand Pascals.

And it was still growing.

The effect of the Wisdom Fruit was likely developing the brain, forcibly enhancing one's Spiritual Power!

Though he didn't know if this enhancement would have side effects,

Baiyu felt he should hurry and utilize this time when his brain was in supercomputing mode to accomplish as much as possible.

He moved swiftly, grabbing the Moon Spirit Divine Heaven Seal to start learning.

At a moment like this,

learning as much as possible was key.

The speed of his learning frightened Ning Baiyu; this esoteric and obscure Core Technique now posed no obstacle for him as he studied it.

To put it into perspective,

he used to have a 2G speed, struggling to read a novel, but now it seemed to have accelerated directly to 5G, allowing him to stream various action blockbusters at any time.
