Deep into the night, in Harris City, in a mid-tier hotel.

The snoring sound of Rod next door had significantly reduced after being obstructed by a wall.

Half reclining on the bed, with his eyes half-closed, Su Lu said, “Very good… this environment is not bad, there are no surveillance measures…even though I can afford more high-end living, we can’t ignore Rod’s preference…”

At this time, all top-notch hotels in the city were probably fully booked by various professionals, right?

Even in this medium-sized hotel, Su Lu had spotted a few professionals.

Since checking in, he had carefully observed everything through the Mental Realm, confirming that there were no threats to his safety… Su Lu was very careful about his safety.

Looking at the clock, he realized it was already past midnight.

“It’s time to sleep…”

Su Lu closed his eyes and quickly drifted into his dreamworld.

A dreamworld of his own!

Before his eyes was a spacious laboratory, the overhead hanging lamp casting a brilliant glow.

In front of him, there was a top-tier alchemy table surrounded by various transcendent materials densely arranged on the nearby shelves.

The varying spiritual lights flickered, ranging from minerals to plants, animals, spirit types, and demons.

Of course, all these were conjured by his imagination in the dream.

Su Lu paused for a moment, picked up a white flower, and gently sniffed it. It seemed like he could smell a sweet fragrance.

“Ever since discovering the third layer of the Spirit World, I can control my own dreams… similar to the effect of lucid dreaming, even conjuring objects in my dreams, but…”

He randomly stacked a few materials together, burning them with Spiritual Fire, preparing to concoct a potion.

The next instant, Crash!

The crucible exploded abruptly, scattering various corrosive liquids.

“It’s too difficult… Even within my own dreams, I can seemingly do everything I want, yet ultimately I can’t fully recreate virtual reality…”

In other words, the transcendent material looked exactly like the real thing, but the internal structure, spiritual molecular structure…and various intricate processes needed to be set by him one step at a time, creating a horrifyingly complex situation.

Not to mention the peak transformations when mixing different medicinal properties during the process of burning with the Spiritual Fire.

Unless he was a god who had mastered the ‘omniscience’ domain, it was nothing but a pipe dream to enhance his ability to create magic potions and wondrous items through abundant materialization in his dreams!

Pressing his lips together, Su Lu looked at the exploded crucible. The splashed liquid spontaneously contracted and turned into a light red finished product.

“Also… I have to gather my spirit. Just a thought about the finished product and the potion was completed… this is pointless.”

He sighed, “It seems… the so-called ‘virtual reality’ technology still has a long way to go…”

Su Lu left the room and stepped outside.

The sun was shining brightly. Before his eyes, there were towering skyscrapers made of reinforced concrete, planes flying in the sky, and an endless stream of cars on the roads.

Looking at all this, there was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. He waved his hand, and everything disappeared. “Illusive things…have no significance at all…”

In the next moment, he suddenly looked up at the sky in the distance.

There, lightning flashed and danced wildly, and a blanket of darkness crept over, evoking a heart-palpitating sensation.

“Am I about to have a nightmare?”

Su Lu shook his head, his expression becoming serious. “No… my spirituality is warning me—has it sensed something? Is there danger in this upcoming exchange meeting?”

Every world has a Spirit World!

The Dream Spirit World, positioned above the illusion and the mind, connects all the mysteries and symbolic symbols, teeming with ambiguous information.

If the real world is composed of data, then the Dream Spirit World is the collective internet and central server connecting everything!

After entering the Dream Spirit World, his Spiritual Body interacted with these pieces of information, laying the groundwork for learning skills such as divination!

The sign just now was a sort of ‘dream divination’ in some sense.

…When morning came, Su Lu woke up, his eyes deep and mysterious.

“The exchange meeting poses danger for me?”

“Unfortunately… I have no idea how severe the danger is.”

“Divination is a challenging discipline and it’s easy to derive fallacious conclusions… I don’t intend to delve deeper into it… besides, I have no teacher, no textbooks, and no suitable conditions…”

If it’s merely danger, then there are too many possibilities. It might just be a small conflict with other professionals, but it could also pose a lethal threat!

“But…this is the rare opportunity to collect a large amount of constitution potions and fulfill the conditions to level up to the Fourth Level!”

Su Lu was in a bit of a dilemma: “Additionally… divination can be wrong… it might even bring about a weird situation where I sensed danger through divination and chose to leave Harris City, only to run into bigger danger…”

“Exchange meeting for the mystical side–where half of the Federation’s professionals gather… Even the Federation probably doesn’t dare to act recklessly.”

The more professionals gather in the city, the larger the various forces they represent.

If they unite, it’s a formidable force that even a Fifth-order legendary professional has to be wary of!

At this critical moment, the Federation should not be provoking this group.

“Good morning!”

After getting dressed and washing up, Su Lu found Rod already sitting in the living room eating the breakfast delivered by the room service.

The main course consisted of white bread studded with raisins, paired with milk, and a locally famed dish believed to bring good luck– roasted rabbit leg.

Only someone with Rod’s physique could eat such a greasy meal so early in the morning.

Su Lu sat opposite Rod, casually picked up the newspaper, and saw a bold headline: “Huh? Strong earthquake in Cod Castle City– transportation is cut off and the Federation has started the rescue operation. The death toll is expected to exceed tens of thousands… That’s almost complete destruction of the city.”

“This should just be a natural geological disaster. I don’t think any professional could currently cause this…”

Busy chomping down his rabbit leg, Rod looked up and said, “After all… there’s no point in doing something like this.”

“That’s true… but the Federation has a headache now.”

Su Lu didn’t probe further and casually asked, “What are we doing today?”

“Of course, we’re going to visit the local Mysterious Fair!”

As if it was a matter of course, Rod said, “We’ll visit the Mysterious Avenue during the day and the black market at night. We should be able to harvest some good finds… If we still can’t find anything, then we can only wait for the formal opening of the exchange meeting.”

Mysterious Avenue was the name of a commercial street in Harris City, famous for selling various mystical goods, a paradise for mystical enthusiasts around the city.

After all, being fond of mysticism and selling some ordinary mystical items did not contravene the law.

But most ordinary people didn’t know that there were some real ‘transcendent shops’ concealed in this street. Their owners might be real professionals who weren’t reluctant to take advantage of ordinary people when there wasn’t a lot of business.

Occasionally, real items filled with mystical powers would end up in the hands of ordinary people from their shops, bringing both opportunities and risks
