The words of Han Lingyun echoed in the air, and Lin Yuan felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him. He knew this was not a simple meeting but a silent Dual-Line Game. Suppressing his wariness, he forced a casual smile and said, “Han Consultant, is there something that can’t be discussed at the Alliance meeting? Why the mystery?”
A meaningful smile curled at the corners of Han Lingyun's lips. She did not answer directly but gently placed the document bag on the table with a soft thud, instantly lowering the atmosphere in the room even further. Lin Yuan's heart sank; he knew the real game was about to begin.

**Conspiracy in the Laboratory: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole**
When Lin Yuan returned to the secret laboratory, Zhou Haoran was deep in thought, staring at a holographic screen displaying various complex Lingqi data graphs. Lin Yuan briefly explained his meeting with Han Lingyun. Upon hearing this, Zhou Haoran’s already bloodshot eyes widened even more.
“Wow! That woman is quite cunning, isn’t she? Trying to test you like that?” Zhou Haoran slammed his hand on the table, causing the data on the screen to shake. He rubbed his chin and paced back and forth, muttering to himself, “No way, we can’t just sit here and wait. Since she wants to play, let’s give her a big game!”
Watching Zhou Haoran’s excited demeanor made Lin Yuan chuckle, but he felt a sense of agreement rising within him. He knew Zhou Haoran had plenty of tricks up his sleeve; this was exactly the time for him to think outside the box.
“Alright, what do you have in mind?” Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, signaling Zhou Haoran to continue.
“Hehe, let’s set up a ‘Reverse Trap’!” A sly grin appeared on Zhou Haoran’s face. “Since that Heiyao Taoist mentioned there’s a spy connected to the Alliance’s upper echelons, we can pull off an ‘Empty City Stratagem’!”
He leaned closer to Lin Yuan and lowered his voice as he vividly outlined his plan: deliberately releasing false information claiming they had discovered a “Spirit Eye” that could significantly enhance Cultivator strength, thus luring the spy out into the open.
As Lin Yuan listened, his eyes gradually brightened. This plan was devious and thrilling enough!

**False Intelligence: Spirit Eye**
Early the next morning, a bombshell news quietly spread within the Alliance—“Spirit Eye” had emerged! According to rumors, Professor Zhou Haoran had accidentally discovered a brand new source of Lingqi during a secret experiment, with an unprecedented level of Spiritual Energy Concentration that could propel the strength of any Cultivator to new heights.
Zhou Haoran was more than willing to share his excitement. Every day, he donned a white lab coat stained with various unknown liquids and energetically moved between research labs, animatedly recounting the wonders of “Spirit Eye” to anyone who would listen. He even dramatically presented several “Spiritual Energy Fluctuation diagrams,” filled with exaggerated peaks and valleys, as if he were showcasing a sacred land overflowing with Lingqi.
“Everyone, this is a tremendous opportunity for our Alliance! If we succeed in developing this, the landscape of the cultivation world will be completely transformed!” Zhou Haoran exclaimed, gesticulating wildly and speaking with such fervor that he could easily win an Oscar for his performance.
The atmosphere within the Alliance was abuzz with excitement and skepticism. Some were thrilled, others doubtful, but most were stirred by a strong desire ignited by the mention of “Spirit Eye.”

**Wang Shijie Moves in Secret, Lin Yuan Notices**
Amidst the mixed reactions of excitement and doubt, Wang Shijie maintained an air of calm sophistication, seemingly oblivious to the rumors swirling around him. He continued his research methodically, daily poring over the “Lingqi Science Research Manual,” occasionally adjusting his glasses while his eyes sparkled with deep insight.
However, Lin Yuan’s “Guan Qi Abilities” were not to be underestimated. While appearing nonchalant on the surface, he closely monitored Wang Shijie’s Spiritual Energy Fluctuation. Sure enough, after the news of “Spirit Eye” spread, subtle anomalies began to appear in Wang Shijie’s internal Spiritual Energy Fluctuation. It was a faint tremor, akin to a slight electric current—difficult to detect but clear to Lin Yuan. It was like a fish swimming quietly beneath a calm lake surface; though it didn’t stir up waves, it left behind faint traces.
What intrigued Lin Yuan even more was that within Wang Shijie’s Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, there was an unfamiliar mixed aura, as if something was quietly growing within him. A thought crossed Lin Yuan’s mind—could this be what Zhou Haoran referred to as the “secret experiment”? Indeed, Wang Shijie was not simple.

**Night Exploration of Spirit Eye, Catching Turtles in a Jar**
As night fell, the entire secret base of the Scientific Cultivation Alliance sank into silence. Only dim indicator lights flickered at the end of the corridor, as if guiding towards some unknown direction.
Lin Yuan and Zhou Haoran had long been lying in wait at the "location" of the Spirit Eye—a carefully arranged false secret realm, abundant in Spiritual Energy. In truth, it was merely an abandoned laboratory, cluttered with discarded instruments and pipes. However, under the skilled hands of Lin Yuan and Zhou Haoran, it had been disguised so convincingly that even the air was infused with a faint hint of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation.
"Lin Alliance Leader, do you really think that kid will come?" Zhou Haoran crouched behind a pile of discarded equipment, lowering his voice as he spoke, a hint of excited tension in his tone.
"He will definitely come," Lin Yuan replied softly, his eyes gleaming with certainty. "Because he believes this is his only chance to break through."
As time ticked by, the air seemed to thicken with anticipation. Just when Zhou Haoran was about to doze off, a faint sound of footsteps echoed from afar, growing closer until it finally stopped at the Entrance of the secret realm.
A slender man entered cautiously, holding an exquisite compass. It was Wang Shijie! He surveyed his surroundings warily, his eyes glinting with greed as if he could already envision the immense power that the Spirit Eye would bring.

**The Spy Appears, Secrets Unveiled**
"Wang Shijie!"
Lin Yuan suddenly stepped out from the shadows, and Zhou Haoran promptly turned on the laboratory lights. A blinding white light flooded the space, causing Wang Shijie to instinctively squint.
Wang Shijie's face turned pale in an instant as the compass slipped from his grasp and clattered to the ground. He never expected to be caught here like a fish in a barrel.
Quickly regaining his composure, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He dropped the facade and sneered coldly, "Lin Yuan, you do have some tricks up your sleeve. But do you really think you can capture me like this?!"
His body began to undergo a transformation as an eerie Lingqi surged forth from within him, sending the surrounding discarded instruments crashing to the ground. Dark patterns emerged all over his body, writhing beneath his skin like living creatures, exuding a chilling aura.
"I admit it, I am a spy for the Obsidian Empire." Wang Shijie's voice turned low and hoarse, tinged with madness. "I have been conducting Lingqi experiments to create more powerful warriors! Someone like you is not worthy of such power!"
He suddenly raised his hand, and a black Lingqi Shockwave shot toward Lin Yuan like Lethal Arrows, the air filled with a piercing sound of friction.

**Devour and Counterattack, Power Upgrade**
Lin Yuan's gaze sharpened as he quickly sidestepped, the Shockwave crashing into the wall behind him and leaving a charred deep pit. The strength displayed by Wang Shijie exceeded his expectations. This seemingly cultured scientist was, in fact, a deeply hidden super powerhouse!
"Want to create stronger warriors? Then let’s see how you fare against my 'Scientific Cultivation'!" Lin Yuan sneered, feeling a rush of excitement rather than fear. He knew that Wang Shjie’s unique abilities would serve as excellent nourishment for his "Cell Phagocytosis Evolution"!
Lin Yuan swiftly engaged in combat with Wang Shijie. The methods of Wang Shijie's Scientific Cultivation were endless; he manipulated discarded instruments with Lingqi, transforming them into deadly weapons. He could even conjure Lingqi shields out of thin air to block all of Lin Yuan's attacks. Each strike carried an unsettling corrosive force.
Lin Yuan remained calm as he responded, constantly searching for opportunities to make physical contact with Wang Shijie and activate his "Cell Phagocytosis Evolution" ability. After several exchanges, he successfully devoured a few of Wang Shjie’s cells.
As the cells broke down, Lin Yuan felt powerful and chaotic energies surge into his body—Wang Shijie's unique understanding of the fusion between Lingqi and science, along with the special energy formed from his secret experiments. Lin Yuan's "Scientific Analysis" ability instantly upgraded, and his comprehension of Lingqi reached new heights. Many previously obscure principles governing Lingqi became clear in his mind.
He even sensed that he could manipulate Lingqi at a deeper level, integrating it with more complex scientific principles. A glimmer of surprise flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes; this spy was truly a moving treasure trove!

**A Cornered Beast Fights Back, Hidden Crisis**
Wang Shijie sensed the change in Lin Yuan, and his expression darkened further. He felt his power being quietly siphoned away by Lin Yuan, and this feeling of being eroded filled him with a strong sense of fear. He knew that if this continued, he would undoubtedly be defeated.
"Damn it! Do you want to drain me dry?!" Wang Shijie roared, his entire Lingqi surging violently. He held nothing back and unleashed his ultimate move—a massive black hand formed from condensed Lingqi, carrying a devastating force as it slammed down toward Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan responded with all his might, a pale blue Lingqi shield appearing around him to collide fiercely with the black hand, producing a deafening roar. However, the power of the black hand was too overwhelming, and cracks began to form in Lin Yuan's shield.
At this critical moment, Lin Yuan erupted with a brilliant light that burst forth from within him; it was the power of "Scientific Explosion," instantly shattering the black hand. The backlash of Wang Shijie's Lingqi sent him flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Trying to run?" Lin Yuan flashed forward, appearing right in front of Wang Shijie and grabbing him by the collar.
Despair crossed Wang Shijie's face as he realized his fate was sealed. However, just as Lin Yuan was about to completely subdue him, a strange glint appeared in Wang Shijie's eyes. He suddenly opened his mouth and let out a piercing shriek while his body began to tremble violently, an unprecedented wave of energy erupting from within him.
"You've won, Lin Yuan! But I won't let you off easily!" A mad smile spread across Wang Shijie's face. "Do you think capturing me means you're safe?!"
His body rapidly expanded as if it were about to explode, and in his hand appeared a small metallic device that had not been there moments before.
"Quick! He's going to self-destruct!" Zhou Haoran shouted.
Lin Yuan's heart sank; without time to think further, he decisively struck Wang Shijie, knocking him unconscious. However, the metallic device activated with a soft beep just a second before Wang Shijie lost consciousness. A faint red light shot out from the device and vanished into thin air.
"This is bad! He exposed our location!" Lin Yuan's expression changed dramatically as he sensed a powerful and unfamiliar Spiritual Energy Fluctuation rapidly approaching their position.
