Chapter 68 Uninvited Guest

As the night deepened, the dormitory area of ​​the Soul Master Academy was silent. After Qin Feng and Chu Tian returned to the dormitory, they immediately began to study the soul power crystal. They placed the crystal on the table and took out some ancient books, trying to find a way to unlock the seal.

"I think this seal may be related to runes." Qin Feng said as he flipped through an ancient book, "These runes seem to be some kind of ancient soul power spell."

Chu Tian tapped the crystal ball with his fingers, trying to sense the power fluctuations in it: "The soul power in this crystal is very strong, but it is sealed very tightly and cannot be released at all."

"Don't worry, let's see if these runes can be unlocked first." Qin Feng continued to flip through the ancient books. Suddenly, he pointed to a passage in the book and said, "Look, it mentions a sealing technique called 'Soul Locking Curse'. It is said that it can lock the soul power in an object. Unless a specific spell is found to remove it, it cannot be broken."

"Then we have to find a way to break the spell as soon as possible." Chu Tian was a little anxious. He really didn't want to let this treasure just lie on the table.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at other books." Qin Feng comforted.

While the two were busy with their research, suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door.

"Who would come to see us so late?" Qin Feng frowned and got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, he saw Ye Li standing at the door, looking at him seriously.

"Ye Li? Why are you here so late?" Qin Feng asked in surprise.

As soon as Ye Li entered the room, she got straight to the point: "I just passed by the forbidden book library of the academy and saw a few people sneaking out of there with an ancient book in their hands. I think they might be planning something, so I came to tell you if I was worried."

"The Forbidden Library? Students are not allowed to enter or leave there at will." Qin Feng's heart tightened. "Do you recognize those people?"

Ye Li shook her head: "It was too dark, I couldn't see them clearly, but I heard them mention the words 'seal' and 'crystallization'."

Qin Feng and Chu Tian looked at each other and understood something in their hearts. The soul power crystal they found was obviously not an ordinary treasure, and those people obviously had some connection with this crystal.

"We have to go to the Forbidden Book Library right away." Chu Tian made a prompt decision, "Maybe we can find some clues."

The three of them immediately decided to take action and sneak into the Forbidden Book Library under the cover of night.

In the Forbidden Book Library, under the dim light, the bookshelves were filled with various ancient books and scrolls. Ye Li pointed to a row of bookshelves in the distance and said, "I saw them browsing over there."

Qin Feng nodded, and the three of them walked over quietly and began to look through the ancient books on the bookshelf. After a while, Qin Feng found a parchment scroll sandwiched between the pages of an old ancient book.

"What is this?" Chu Tian came over to take a look. He saw complicated runes drawn on the parchment scroll, and a line of small words attached to the side: "Unlock the seal of the soul crystal."

"It's really about crystallization!" Qin Feng whispered excitedly.

"Hurry and see how to break this spell." Ye Li urged.

Qin Feng read the contents of the spell carefully and found that it described an ancient method of removing the seal, but to use this method, one must first master a special prop called the "Soul Key".

"Soul Key? What is that?" Chu Tian was a little confused.

"The Soul Key is a key that can unlock a seal, and it requires specific materials and complex rituals to make." Qin Feng explained, "However, there is also a simplified version of the spell mentioned here that can temporarily lift the seal without a Soul Key."

"Then let's try this simplified version of the spell!" Chu Tian said impatiently.

"Don't worry." Qin Feng said calmly, "This kind of sealing technique is usually very complicated. If we remove it rashly, it may cause adverse consequences."

"So what are you going to do?" Ye Li asked.

"Let's take this parchment scroll back and study it carefully. After we figure out the principle of the spell, we will decide whether to try to lift the seal." Qin Feng made the decision.

The three quietly left the Forbidden Book Library and returned to Qin Feng's dormitory. They carefully spread the parchment scroll on the table and continued to study the contents of the spell.

However, not long after, there was another knock on the door.

Qin Feng's heart tightened. Who would come to his house at this time? Could it be those people just now?

He motioned Chu Tian and Ye Li to hide, walked to the door, and carefully opened a crack.

Standing outside the door was actually the college's vice president, Feng Jian. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of scrutiny.

"Qin Feng, why aren't you sleeping so late?" Feng Jian asked calmly.

"Vice President, why are you here?" Qin Feng tried to remain calm and said with a smile.

"I just came to see you." Feng Jian smiled slightly, and glanced at the room behind Qin Feng. "Something happened in the academy recently. I hope you outstanding students can always stay vigilant."

"Yes, Vice President, we will pay attention to it." Qin Feng nodded in agreement, but he was secretly worried.

Feng Jian didn't say anything else, just patted Qin Feng's shoulder gently, turned and left.

Qin Feng closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was almost discovered."

"He came so suddenly, could it be that he suspects we have discovered something?" Chu Tian came out of the closet with an unnatural look on his face.

"Maybe." Qin Feng pondered, "But we have to be careful, this matter is becoming more and more complicated."

Ye Li nodded: "We have to find out the secret of crystallization as soon as possible, otherwise if someone else gets there first, we will be in trouble."

"Then let's continue our research." Qin Feng said, "We have come this far, and we must not give up halfway."

The three of them sat around the table again, continuing to study the spell on the parchment scroll. As the night deepened, the moonlight shone through the window onto them, illuminating the soul crystal, which emitted a mysterious glow.
