Chapter 740, Rejuvenation Surgery
Qi Bodu was copying a copybook in his private office.
It was an art from ancient Terra. After seeing it in the information, he became very interested in this ancient art and the ancient text it represented, and began to study it. This became one of his hobbies.
His advisor was reporting to him about Margaret.
"... Grand Master Margaret is leaving the Psychic Order. According to our analysis, Ms. Margaret no longer has the chance to take control of the Psychic Order. The initiative is now entirely in Gu Hang's hands. If he wanted to, tomorrow he would be the Grand Master of the Psychic Order."
Qi Bodu's staff kept writing and commented: "It's useless. I drove Dou Zhao away a few years ago, but now I don't have any resistance at all."
"Then agree to her? She hopes to have a new position."
"Well... an S+ psyker, although he is a fool, is still useful and cannot be wasted. Go to the Legal Department and become a psionic consultant, and we will take your time in the future."
"I'm afraid she won't be satisfied."
"Huh, let her figure it out on her own. Look at Holy Terra, who dares to think of helping a dog I don't want."
"I understand."
The two of them were relatively silent, with only the slight sound of the ancient brush rubbing against the rice paper.
It was clear that the business was finished, but Qi Bodu's advisor did not leave, as if he knew that the prime minister still had unfinished words that he had not yet said.
And indeed it is.
The pen in Qi Bodu's hand stopped unknowingly while listening to the report. This copy of ancient Terra's calligraphy works naturally ends here.
"Those...are all true?"
"Yes, I think we have to reconsider Gu Hang's influence." His adviser fully understood what the prime minister was asking and gave the answer.
This is the judgment made by their entire department after synthesizing the intelligence sent back.
Qi Bodu wanted to continue copying the calligraphy and painting, but he couldn't concentrate, so he simply put the pen aside, walked out of the calligraphy and painting table, and paced back and forth in front.
He knew that Gu Hang was a top-notch psychic. The battle reports from the front line, as well as the words passed back by the leader of the Salisius Chapter who he quite trusted as an eyewitness, clearly stated this point.
However, the news in the report is one thing, but experiencing it personally is another thing.
When the sharp alarm sounded, there was a brief chaos in the palace.
It had been a long, long time since I had had this kind of experience, so much so that Qi Bodu was still a little confused at that time.
The rising spiritual power seemed to be deliberately displayed. It did not require any special psychic means to observe. Even the most ordinary mortals could personally feel the palpitating smell.
This 'heart palpitations' is not an adjective, but something that really happened to me.
Qi Bodu himself felt that in the rumbling, illusory and real thunder, he seemed to smell something, as if coming from his lungs; his heart began to beat abnormally faster, getting more and more Very fast and irregular.
He felt very uncomfortable.
Later, I realized that it was a normal reaction under psychic pressure, rather than some force attacking him. These physical effects are only temporary and will not last long.
But what's unusual is that he shouldn't be able to feel this feeling despite being so far away. Not to mention, the person who releases this power is still in the best psychic shielding field in the empire.
What does that mean?
he asked his psychic advisor.
His advisor told him that this meant that at that moment, if Gu Hang wanted someone in the palace to die, that person would be dead now and no one could save him. Regardless of whether the anti-psionic facilities inside the palace that were raised afterwards would be effective, and regardless of whether the subsequent march could kill this powerful psyker, at least the person who died would not survive.
Even with him, an S+ level psychic advisor, who is attentive and fully prepared for personal protection, it won't work.
After hearing the news, Qi Bodu's expression did not change at all.
In my heart, I was already in a state of anxiety.
Now, he finally experienced personally the sense of oppression brought by the power of a top individual.
Can a top powerhouse of this level subvert the empire?
no.
Can you kill the supreme ruler of the empire?
Can.
The former is an individual fight against the Empire, the single most powerful collective in the universe;
The latter is individual to individual.
In a sense, Qi Bodu can indeed represent the empire. His power is at the peak of his career as prime minister, and he still has countless ideals and ambitions to realize...
He is the most noble man in the empire.
One for one?
Don’t trade with anyone.
It won’t change with 10 billion people, 1 trillion people, or 100 billion people!
It was his idea that Gu Hang must come to Holy Terra.
But he regrets it a little now.
Later, he originally prepared some means of extreme pressure. The original purpose was to test Gu Hang to see if the 'princes' who were separatist on the border were loyal to the center of the empire.
If he is loyal, then no matter how the central government treats him, he should be willing to treat him like a loyal dog, wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
If he is even remotely dissatisfied and rebellious, he is disloyal.
During the triumphal speech, Qi Bodu felt unhappy for a while and even had murderous intentions towards Gu Hang. But his 'sensible' behavior slightly regained some impression points, at least making Qi Bodu feel that he could still conduct subsequent 'tests'.
But...you may have to reconsider this now.
Testing is definitely still necessary.
He could not trust an ambitious man who was not loyal to the empire to continue to grow on the border.
The lesson of Iron Armor is still fresh in my mind.
But it’s limited to predictions.
There are some extreme pressure methods of a difficult nature, so I feel that there is no need to use them.
Otherwise, what should we do if we force a good and loyal minister to rebel?
He was thinking about the long-term plan of the empire, and was definitely not worried about being pushed into a hurry, and when it came to the stage of execution, he would be changed to the limit.
Thinking of this, he said to his administrative consultant: "Give Gu Hang's application for an interview a go. Look at my upcoming schedule and find out when I have time to meet with him."
……
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, it is an honor to meet you." Looking at Qi Bodu sitting on the high platform, Gu Hang lowered his head respectfully, bowed his waist, and said hello humbly.
The etiquette was fully implemented, showing Gu Hang's respect, but the size was quite good, and it did not appear too flattering and bowed. The head was held up appropriately, and his eyes were occasionally sharp.
Every movement and expression in this series has been carefully designed.
Qi Bodu is a proud person, and he cares a lot about other people's attitudes; but if he is too flattering and fake, he will feel that the other person is treating him as a fool.
This moment is just right.
Qi Bodu knew that most of the people in front of him, not only Gu Hang, but also others, were all pretending.
But pretending to be like one is also a form of respect.
With a slight nod, Qi Bodu just woke Gu Hang up, and the attendant next to him held a tray and sent an item to him.
Gu Hang's voice sounded at the right time: "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, this object is the Xinglan Golden Crystal."
Qi Bodu's expression was slightly moved.

He knows this thing.
This crystal was born in the core of the nebula, which is a violent furnace of energy and matter, and the energy contained in it is beyond imagination. It can resonate with the holder's spiritual power. The holder only needs to probe a trace of spiritual power into it to feel a vast source of power surging.
This power can be directed to strengthen one's own spiritual talent, making the originally weak spiritual energy fluctuations instantly become turbulent; it can also be injected into the energy core of the spacecraft, causing the spacecraft to burst out with extremely fast navigation capabilities in an instant ; It can even release a powerful energy shield in times of crisis to resist invasion from various dangers in the universe.
Its actual effect is quite great, but in fact, few people actually use it.
It is too rare, too expensive, considered a consumable, and too luxurious - oh, the key point is that it cannot keep a ship that is valuable enough for it to protect.
The biggest role of Xinglan Gold Crystal is as personal protection and... as jewelry.
Its appearance is like a bright heart surrounded by stars. It is oval in shape and about the size of an adult's fist. The surface of the crystal flows with light in colors such as blue, purple gold, and emerald green. These lights are like the agile water of the galaxy, slowly flowing, intertwining, and changing within the crystal, as if telling the ancient legend of the universe. When it rotates gently, the flow speed and trajectory of the light will also change accordingly, as if forming mysterious star maps, showing the scenery of different corners of the universe, or the magnificent scene of supernova explosions, or the distortion of time and space around a black hole. Wonderful sight.
This is extremely stunning viewing value.
It is an excellent material to make into a treasure that you can carry with you.
Of course, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, Qi Bodu does not lack similar items, and there are also better ones.
However, its value is enough for it to be placed on Qi Bodu's collection cabinet.
Prime Minister Qi Bodu was quite satisfied with this gift.
He felt better again.
He had a peaceful exchange with Gu Hang for a period of time, talking about his experiences in Holy Terra and the story of the alliance.
Then, their conversation gradually got to the point while chatting.
They first talked about the Psychic Order.
"Are you going to become the next chief mentor?"
When Supervisor Qi Bo asked this question, Gu Hang was well prepared, smiled, and answered calmly: "I have this plan, and it's hard to refuse such kindness."
"Oh, if you do your best, maybe you can choose a high lord?"
"It's a bit difficult for the Chief Grand Instructor to become a high lord."
"You are very capable, maybe you can do it?"
When he said this, the smile on Qi Bodu's face seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and there was no kindness in it.
Gu Hang didn't seem to hear anything, but said: "If it can really happen, it will depend on the Prime Minister's advice. The Psychic Society will also follow the Prime Minister's lead. After all, even if I become the chief, I can't stay here for a long time. Holy Terra.”
Gu Hang's intention made it clear that he would eventually leave Holy Terra and had no plans to stay for a long time.
Thinking about the words again, are you selling the Psychic Order to the Prime Minister?
No, it's not that simple.
Because Qi Bodu doesn't need it.
If he wanted to completely control the Psychic Order, it would be easy with Margaret's help. He didn't move because he also felt that spiritual cultivation was useless and meaningless to him. He had neither the high status of the Psychic Order nor their meager actual strength. On the contrary, leaving them as a trash can seems to be a better choice.
What Gu Hang meant might be that he wanted to build up a spiritual sect, control it remotely, and at the same time make a powerful psionic sect obediently cooperate with him?
Touching his chin, Qi Bodu thought it was really interesting.
After giving up the most dissatisfied function of 'the highest governing body of imperial psykers', the psionic order, which is able to develop and grow in strength, seems to be not so useless.
With them, many things can be done.
After all, although he is the de facto Prime Minister, the power of the Prime Minister cannot theoretically control the Tribunal. He is working towards full power, and is still on the way. He has not yet reached it, and the Inquisition is sometimes not so obedient.
It's not a bad thing to have an alternative.
Of course, the premise is that Gu Hang can start a spiritual practice.
And, what he was thinking about was just what he was thinking about. Did Gu Hang's simple words really mean this?
Gu Hang smiled and said: "The Psychic Order can definitely be done, with regular funding from the Empire and support from the Alliance. I also have some experience in cultivating and training psykers. Please rest assured, Prime Minister." .”
"Yeah." Qi Bodu gently touched his chin.
Gu Hang continued: "For many things, the Alliance has enough strength to solve the Prime Minister's problems. What the Psychic Religion can do, the Psychic Religion will do, and what the Psychic Religion cannot do, the Alliance will do the same for the Prime Minister. Without hesitation.”
This is a more naked commitment.
Qi Bodu finally showed some smile.
He doesn't believe it all, but he doesn't believe it at all either.
This is at least a good start.
And when he wanted to talk more about the alliance, taxation, and how to ensure that what Gu Hang said could come true, another thing Gu Hang mentioned completely made him His attention was sucked away.
"By the way, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I have seen a very difficult technique among the Psychic Order."
"This set of technology has something to do with rejuvenation surgery."
"With the assistance of psychic power, the sixth rejuvenation surgery can be performed after the fifth rejuvenation surgery, and the effect will be better than normal rejuvenation surgery."
"It's just too difficult. In the past few thousand years, no psionic master has been able to master it. I'm quite interested, and I'm currently learning. It just requires a lot of experiments and will cost a lot of money. Now I'm having a headache, can I find a sponsor? .”
