Black Book

Chapter 288: Acting on behalf of Heaven, punishing the criminals

It took Yan Yunsheng ten years from becoming an apprentice to step by step reaching his current position!

Then he was stuck at the upper limit of his technique, reaching a bottleneck and unable to make any progress!
He wasted another five years!
fifteen years!
No one knows how miserable he has been in these fifteen years!

He saw an invisible ceiling above his head, and he realized that until the day he died, he would still be just a mediocre grassroots official.

The powerlessness and despair that enveloped his body and mind almost destroyed his fighting spirit.

However, in this desperate darkness, a ray of light descended upon him, shattering the ceiling that locked him down, allowing him to see a whole new world and an infinitely bright future.

Looking up at the tall and handsome young man in front of him, Yan Yunsheng seemed to have found the meaning of his existence, with a hint of fanaticism and piety in his eyes.

Realizing that Yan Yunsheng's soul had a subtle resonance with his own, Zhu Haomiao narrowed his eyes with a strange expression.

It seems that... after practicing [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique], the practitioner will develop a natural sense of closeness to himself, and as his skills deepen, this sense of closeness will even further evolve into worship, or even... faith!
Having completely given up the idea of ​​putting this technique in the [Yanhuang Arsenal] to collect patent fees, Zhu Haomiao sighed helplessly, and then changed his mind.

Forget it, think on the bright side, I have one more way to anchor my faith.

At the same time, you can also develop your own power!
This is very important for the descenders who follow the "Law of Acting", because many times, the actors who are favored by heaven cannot break the situation violently.

There must be a high-sounding reason and powerful supporters.

This way you can take advantage of the greater good!

In the name of enforcing justice and punishing the criminals, they do things of life and death!

Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao had an idea and asked meaningfully.

"During this period, the people below have bothered you a lot, right?"

After understanding the young man's implication, Yan Yunsheng's face suddenly turned as bitter as if he had eaten a bitter melon.

"Indeed, we are brothers who have been through thick and thin together. It is impossible for them not to have any thoughts after seeing the changes in me..."

Immediately, Yan Yunsheng's face straightened and he made a solemn promise.

"But please rest assured, sir. I know that secrets should not be passed on easily, and I will never leak the skills you taught me!"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao blinked his eyes strangely and smiled in a gentle tone.

"I am not a person who cherishes what I have. If there are subordinates who are truly talented, resolute, and have made great contributions, I will never hesitate to reward them!"

Under Yan Yunsheng's shocked gaze, Zhu Haomiao patted his shoulder.

"There are six levels of [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique]. You can set up a rule and accumulate merits to exchange for a level of the technique."

"So that the people below can also have hope..."

Listening to the earnest words, Yan Yunsheng's heart was greatly shaken. He felt that the young man's not-so-tall body now looked extremely majestic, like a towering peak, which made him look up to him and admire him sincerely.

Yan Yunsheng has seen many misers who value martial arts more than their lives and are unwilling to pass them on even to their own children!

The [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique] that Li Lin taught him was so powerful and profound in its meaning that it could only be compared with the magical skills of famous sects or the royal secrets.

For ordinary civilians, the latter two are like the sun and the moon in the sky, which are out of reach. Not to mention touching them, even thinking about them is a crime!
But now, Inspector Li actually shared this level of peerless magical skills selflessly. His broad mind made Yan Yunsheng feel ashamed.

Originally, Yan Yunsheng was not a selfish person who wanted to weld the car door shut as soon as he got in the car, but the [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique] was so powerful that he couldn't help but feel a little selfish.

Now, under the influence of the young man's incomparable personal charm, Yan Yunsheng's selfishness was exposed like a maggot in a gutter, making him blush and feel ashamed.

"Sir, on behalf of all the brothers in the Anti-Theft Division, I would like to thank you for your kindness!"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao just smiled without saying anything. He patted Yan Yunsheng's shoulder encouragingly and turned away.

Behind him, Yan Yunsheng looked at the tall and straight figure, and regardless of his broken wounds, he prostrated himself on the ground and bowed deeply.

……………………Back at the [Pingyang Marquis’ Mansion], as soon as she entered the door, the panic-stricken maid rushed up to report as if she had seen a savior.

"Master, someone sent a lot of food for no apparent reason. It looks very expensive!"

As the only young and clever servant in the [Pingyang Marquis's Mansion], the maid was in charge of the little remaining liquid funds in the mansion. When she saw these expensive ingredients, she was not surprised but terrified.

The little money she had wasn't even enough to buy the ingredients!

Looking at the maid who was about to cry, Zhu Haomiao smiled, curled his lips, and comforted her softly.

"Don't panic, that's a gift from someone, I don't want any money."

"what?!"

"Come on, where is the food? I'm hungry."

"Oh, oh, they are all in the kitchen."

The maid reacted and quickly took Zhu Haomiao to the kitchen.

"Here's the list, Master."

"Ah."

After taking the list and taking a glance at it, Zhu Haomiao immediately understood what was going on.

A green bull that had become a spirit took off its head and sent over thousands of pounds of its most essential flesh and bones.

There is also a three-hundred-year-old ginseng, eight jade dew fruits, and a piece of ghost vine.

It happens to be the main ingredient of the special medicinal food [Qilin Soup]!

Wilson also thoughtfully provided the recipe for Qilin Soup.

"Go and fetch the largest cooking vessel in the mansion."

Reading the medicinal diet recipe in his hand, Zhu Haomiao gave instructions without even raising his head.

"Yes, Master."

The maid took the order and left. After a while, she came back with a big pot dragging its weight.

"Master, this is the biggest pot in the mansion."

After taking a look at the big pot that was big enough for an ordinary person to take a bath, Zhu Haomiao glanced at the beef piled up into a small mountain and sealed by the azure ice, and frowned slightly.

"One is not enough, are there any other pots like this?"

"Oh, there's one more!"

[Pingyang Marquis' Mansion] had hundreds of servants during its heyday, and banquets had to be held from time to time to entertain guests. There were seven or eight stoves of various sizes in the kitchen alone, and there was no shortage of large-capacity cooking utensils.

Soon the three stoves were lit. Zhu Haomiao filled the pot on the smallest stove with water and threw the dark and rough ghost vine into it.

woohoo~
The water in the small pots on the other two stoves had not yet started to steam, but the water in the large pots on the other two stoves had already started to boil.

A faint black color seeped out from the skin of the wail vine and evaporated into the air along with the bubbles of boiling water. The original gurgling sound of the boiling water gradually distorted and turned into creepy crying and wailing.

Although he knew that strange phenomena would occur when preparing the Ghost Vine, Zhu Haomiao still couldn't help but marvel at the scene when he saw it with his own eyes.
