Chapter 249 Ghost Power
The headquarters covers a large area. In addition to some necessary office buildings, there are also some green areas between these buildings.

There is a green garden around the laboratory, which is arranged like a small park and is a great place to relax.

Normally, many people would come here to rest after working, but today it was extremely quiet and empty.

Wang Xiaoming walked along the path and came to a pavilion. The pavilion had an antique design, giving people a feeling of being completely integrated into the place.

"You're here!" An old voice came from the pavilion. Wang Xiaoming looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man sitting there, looking at him with a smile on his face.

This is none other than Mr. Qin, who has been living a semi-secluded life at the headquarters.

"What do you want to talk to me about today, Mr. Qin?" Wang Xiaoming stepped forward, walked into the pavilion, and sat opposite.

"Professor Wang's recent invention really shocked me," said Old Qin, with a look of emotion on his face. "I have seen this method of controlling the contract. It is a work of genius, beyond human power."

Wang Xiaoming raised his eyebrows. It turned out that it was because of the contract control matter. Ever since he set up fifteen contract formations at the headquarters, he had not taken care of the matter. Now he didn't know how many new ghost riders had been transformed through the contract formations.

I think there should be quite a few, otherwise it wouldn’t have alarmed Old Qin.

"Mr. Qin came to me for a driving contract?" Wang Xiaoming was too lazy to guess why Mr. Qin came and chose to ask proactively.

Old Qin pointed to the hot tea on the stone table in the pavilion and said, "No hurry, drink tea!"

After seeing Wang Xiaoming pick up the teacup, Old Qin continued, "I have carefully studied the professor's contract driving, and I have some questions in my mind that I would like to consult the professor."

Wang Xiaoming lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and nodded: "You go ahead!"

"Professor Wang's contract control is very exquisite, especially through the contract, the ghost rider also produces energy similar to supernatural power in the body," Qin Lao continued: "I want to know if that energy can extend the life of the ghost rider?"

The legend of cultivating immortals and achieving enlightenment has been circulating in Renguo since ancient times. In ancient times, some emperors even took "immortal pills" made by alchemists, which led to their untimely death.

According to legend, those who become immortals all refine the essence of heaven and earth in their bodies and store the magical power of immortality in their dantian. This is very similar to the energy in the bodies of today's new ghost riders, so it's no wonder that Old Qin would think of this.

The pursuit of immortality is an instinct engraved in human genes, not to mention that Old Qin only has about a year left to live.

Wang Xiaoming put down his teacup and looked at Old Qin. He could sense a hint of hope in his eyes. After all, who doesn't want to live a few more years? It's just a pity:

"According to the information and research I have so far, 'ghost power' has no life-extending effect. At most, it can make people live long and healthy until the limit of their lifespan."

Ghost power is the name for the energy in the bodies of those new ghost riders. Because it is extracted from evil ghosts, the word "ghost" is added to the name.

Hearing Wang Xiaoming's answer, Qin Lao was a little disappointed, but he quickly wiped out this emotion, shook his head and sighed: "It turns out that your cultivation is still not good enough. I originally wanted to transform it into a contract control to extend my life, but now it seems that it is not necessary."

Wang Xiaoming remained silent. He could do nothing about it. Prolonging life was a very difficult thing no matter which world he was in.

It could be because the ghost power was extracted from the supernatural ghosts, or it could be because of the rules of this world. Anyway, the new ghost riders would not have their lifespan increased by ghost power. Old Qin did not seem to care much, and soon asked again: "How did you come up with this method of controlling ghosts with contracts?"

"Does Old Qin still remember Wang Chaling?" Wang Xiaoming said. At that time at the headquarters, Wang Chaling almost took action because of the mention of his family curse. Later, Old Qin showed up and scared Wang Chaling half to death.

"It's him!" Old Qin said with a smile, "No wonder, I've seen those two people from the Wang family before. The way they control evil spirits is indeed similar to yours."

Mr. Qin became happier and happier as they talked. He asked many questions about contract management, and Wang Xiaoming answered them one by one.

Old Qin spoke highly of the Contract Control, because he also saw hope for humanity to defeat evil spirits.

"By the way... I told those old guys from the Republic of China about the contract driving."

Old Qin changed the subject and said apologetically, "I hope you can understand that we have been waiting for this day for a long time. Some old guys died without seeing the hope of human beings solving the problem of spiritual revival. I don't want them to die with regrets."

Wang Xiaoming's face straightened, and he said seriously: "Mr. Qin, you are too polite. Contract control will be popularized sooner or later. Besides, you are all old predecessors who suppressed the supernatural places and protected the real world. It is right to tell them."

Wang Xiaoming's words were not polite, he truly recognized the Seven Elders of the Republic of China. Regardless of these people's personalities, the fact that they had suppressed the supernatural world for decades and prevented evil spirits from invading reality was already a great deed.

If it were Wang Xiaoming himself, he would not have the confidence to do this.

Of course, the order to block the contract control information was not issued by Wang Xiaoming, but was a measure taken by the headquarters to avoid causing chaos.

Wang Xiaoming expressed his understanding of the headquarters' approach. He said that the promotion of new things cannot be achieved overnight, and contract management must be promoted with caution due to its importance.

If the contract is promoted directly without any preparation, it will definitely cause unrest in the entire spiritual world.

If it is used by the enemy at that time, it is very likely to cause a war among ghost riders, damage the strength of the headquarters, and disrupt social stability. I don't know how many people will be killed and injured. These are issues that need to be considered in advance.

Mr. Qin was very happy to receive Wang Xiaoming's recognition. He felt that someone finally understood what they had done over the years.

At this time, Mr. Qin had forgotten that Cao Yanhua had said something similar to him. He could only say that Cao Yanhua, the deputy director of the headquarters, had little weight in his eyes and was far inferior to Wang Xiaoming.

In the eyes of Mr. Qin, Wang Xiaoming's status far exceeds that of everyone else and he is the true savior!

When they were parting, Mr. Qin suddenly remembered the instructions of several old friends. He showed hesitation on his face, but still said:
"Professor Wang, a few of my old friends asked me to tell them something. I hope you can go meet them."

"Hmm..." Wang Xiaoming thought for a few seconds and said, "Okay, it's a good opportunity to make up for last time. I also want to meet these seniors."

Last time, Old Qin brought words saying that these old men from the Republic of China wanted to meet him, but Wang Xiaoming did not go because he was too weak at the time and felt insecure. Now he has been promoted to Sequence Four, and with the blessing of the Knowledge Wilderness, his strength has reached Sequence Three, and he is no longer afraid of anyone.
