Chapter 213 Ghost knocks on the door

Beijing.

As the evening sun sets, it spills its light over this ancient capital, and the bustling streets and roads are teeming with people.

Inside a courtyard house, a tall ginkgo tree is covered with a layer of crystal-clear snowflakes.

The walls are covered with ivy, concealing the old plaster, while the shadow of the ancient imperial city stretches across the streets and alleys not far away.

This is a renovated two-story courtyard house. If a traveler gets closer, they will also notice that the patterns of eyes are faintly growing on the withered leaves of these ivy plants.

At this moment, Xie Yan was leaning on the second-floor railing, gazing at the street not far away. The setting sun reflected off his glasses, making his thin, handsome face appear even more profound.

The red wooden pillars give the entire courtyard a classic and elegant look. The courtyard is lush and green, and doesn't look like winter at all.

"Cousin!!"

Suddenly, Xie Yao, wearing a green cheongsam, pushed open the door, waved upstairs, and said, "You're back quite early this year!"

As she spoke, Xie Yao tossed a lump of iron into the courtyard and said, "Tang Yao, come over today if you have time, and take this puppet away from me."

"If you come quickly, you might make it in time for dinner."

"to make!"

The boy, whose body was half-melted, nodded and called out to Xie Yan upstairs, "Brother Xie, I'll be right there!"

"Ah."

Upon hearing Xie Yan's response, the boy's pupils darkened, and he instantly collapsed to the ground.

"Thank you... thank you, brother!"

At that moment, Chen Xin, wearing a white down jacket behind the door, glanced at Xie Yan with a slightly flushed face, and immediately lowered her head to speak.

Xie Yan nodded, looked at the two people in the courtyard, and asked, "Did they go to the Spirit Realm?"

"Yes."

Xie Yao didn't even have time to go up there before saying, "Cousin, hurry and go to the Spirit Realm!"

"The thirteenth Earth God Temple has appeared in Jia Chen District! The forging function can be reverted!"

"The entire Jia Chen District is going crazy right now. I bet the news will spread all over the forums soon."

When Xie Yao came out, she saw the earth god temple and realized that it was the same True Lord who had saved her before!
Of course, she didn't mention her previous dangerous experience. Having received Tang Yao's favor, the matter was over; if she did, she'd get scolded too.

"Oh?"

Xie Yan was taken aback. It wasn't because of this news, but because he suddenly realized that Ji Ran hadn't explained the situation of Jia Chen District to him yet.

But you can't blame him for that; Ji Ran's progress is just too fast!
Over the years, the authorities have already established a unified optimal training path for travelers.

A detailed explanation will be provided when you are officially hired.

In the early stages, a traveler should focus on the Mirror of Oblivion. Through the Mirror of Oblivion's move memorization function, an ordinary person can quickly become a fighting master.

Only when one reaches a bottleneck should one enter Jia Chen Zhou Lou to hone one's skills through training grounds and other facilities.

This will allow the scarce spiritual energy in the early stages to be used effectively.

It also allows travelers to determine their own development direction in the early stages, and after entering Jia Chen Zhou Lou, they will have a clearer understanding and know what they need.

Generally speaking, a traveler at level 1 doesn't need to enter the Jia Chen Zhou Tower for the first five worlds.

During this period, the focus was more on using the Mirror of Oblivion to quickly master combat skills and transform ordinary people into fighting masters.

But Ji Ran...

Xie Yan suddenly smiled.

My team member isn't even level 1 yet! After promotion, he'll be level 2!
This time, it came out at level 3!
He immediately sent a message to Lu Yushang, asking her to find a way to officially promote Ji Ran.

Ji Ran needs to learn about Jia Chen Zhou Lou now.

Da da da!
Amidst the sound of footsteps, Xie Yao came up from downstairs and said, "That's rare. What are you laughing at?"

"nothing."

Xie Yan turned around, glanced at the woman, and frowned, saying, "You looked quite disheveled this time."

"You've suffered a serious injury; the rhythm of your internal organs is off."

Xie Yao rolled her eyes, leaned against the railing and said, "You officials are so annoying. Whatever you've figured out, please don't tell Grandpa."

Xie Yan nodded and said, "Don't wander around the Spirit Realm too much unless necessary. Conserve your energy so you can come with me to Japan after the New Year."

"Okay, I won't run around these next few days."

Xie Yao shrugged. The turmoil in the island nation was, in fact, a once-in-a-lifetime hunting opportunity for Luan Ke.

Among those fierce ghosts and demons, there are many monsters that are not strong in strength but have good skills, making them the best choice for spirit pets.

"By the way, Grandpa and the others had a meeting the day before yesterday and they talked about a problem."

"what?"

"The public appearance of the Special Operations Department means that it will replace the General Administration and step into the limelight."

Xie Yao leaned against the railing, feeling the evening breeze, and comfortably closed her cat-like eyes, saying, "In that case, the travelers shouldn't maintain such a loose formation as small teams."

"There should be a reform." "Sequence squads will be separated, and ordinary squads will be completely disbanded and reorganized into formal government departments."

"You'd better get your team members to improve quickly so that the island nation can secure a spot in the rankings this time. Otherwise, things will get very troublesome later."

"it is good."

Xie Yan saw a chubby boy in a black coat running quickly toward the courtyard.

"Tang Yao has arrived."

Xie stretched and asked, "Is the old man still in a meeting?"

"Yeah, I won't be back until late tonight."

"Then let's eat first."

The night is getting darker and the lanterns are starting to turn on.

The bustling crowd made Xie Yao, who was leaning on the railing, feel a little reluctant to leave.

How long can this calm last?

……

General Administration, Office.

Lu Zaiye returned and then left, saying he was going to pack his things and report to Yashan first.

Ji Ran returned to her office and received a message from Su Su.

Originally, she and Zha Hu were supposed to come and take her back together, but Xie Yan, knowing that he had killed two cultists, let her rest and recuperate, which was like giving her a vacation.

Since they had missions to complete upon their return, they flew directly back from the capital.

Ji Ran looked at the setting sun outside the window and prepared to enter the Heavenly Corridor to visit the Jia Chen Boat Tower.

The swordsmanship master Xie Yan found for him hasn't contacted him yet, so Ji Ran plans to strengthen his Kunwu swordsmanship first.

A single spirit weapon is enough to accompany a traveler throughout their life.

He also has various items on him—the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, the Tiger Fang Necklace, the Leopard Spirit's Hatred, etc. He should strengthen these items if necessary, and sell them if appropriate.

It's time to use the Blood-Veined Purple Immortal Steel.

This time, Ji Ran plans to give his equipment a major upgrade!

Once the cultivation path is determined, one will need to select a suitable cultivation technique from the cultivation technique library. Having only the "Wind and Thunder Blade Scripture" is no longer sufficient.

The ultimate energy obtained from the Yaksha Captain also needs to be used; it will lose its breakthrough effect after reaching the second tier.

He had only used the time-manipulation ability [Hunting Years] that he had acquired once, and that was by using Yuan Xiong's help to obtain all of Yuan Xiong's specializations.

But this time, Ji Ran realized that her previous ideas about Hunting Year might have been wrong.

This supernatural power is not as simple as it seems.

Its mere ability to plunder is not worthy of its status as a time-manipulating being.

After entering the Corridor of the Gods, I will also try out this skill.

In short, you need to be in top condition before going to the island nation!
Ding Dong!

Suddenly, Ji Ran's phone vibrated.

He picked it up and saw that it was Ning Yan.

"Ok?"

Since I'm planning to leave for Yashan City tomorrow, I've also given her a day off. She'll go to the Yashan base with Duan Yaran after the New Year to do logistics work.

"Hey?"

Ji Ran answered the phone, only to hear Ning Yan's trembling voice.

"Leader...leader..."

"Someone's knocking on the door!"

"Knock on the bathroom door, I'm inside!"

Ji Ran was taken aback and asked, "Someone broke into your house?"

As he spoke, Ji Ran immediately stood up.

"No...it shouldn't be...it shouldn't be a person."

Ning Yan's voice trembled with a hint of tears as she said, "When I heard the noise, I opened the door and took a look!"

“There was a row of footprints moving on the ceiling!”

"It's right here at my doorstep!"

“There are footprints moving on the glass of the door!”

Ji Ran's eyes narrowed, and her gaze suddenly fell on the time on her phone.

17:19 minutes.

It is... the hour of twilight!
