My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 136 Winning over
The four elements of spiritual practice.

The wealthy couple is in a legal place.

It’s all about resources.

Spiritual roots, comprehension, and bones are rarely mentioned in terms of aptitude and talent. This does not mean that aptitude and talent are not important. On the contrary, aptitude and talent are very critical and can determine the upper limit.

If one wants to open the nine orifices and possess ten times the spiritual power of ordinary practitioners, one not only needs top-level practice methods, but also the talent for comprehension.

Through the ages.

Geniuses have always been a minority.

More than 99% of them actually have ordinary qualifications and are destined not to go too far on the path of cultivation.

Like Zhou Ping.

Without a virtual frame, even if one manages to cultivate spiritual roots by chance, it is impossible to build a foundation.

Therefore, if Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin have average comprehension and talent, Zhou Ping can only pile up resources for them. As for what level they will reach in the future, it depends on their own luck.

There are also my aunt and uncle, as well as Tongtong and others.

The same is true.

He could help them to go more smoothly on the path of cultivation, but he couldn't make them become as strong as himself.

……

The days passed by.

Practitioners from various countries stay in the spaceships and seize every minute and every second to practice.

Lei Jiming, Qin Bing, Director Wang, and Director Peng are no exception. No one would waste such precious time doing anything else.

Half a month passed.

The voice of the formation spirit echoed in the ears of every cultivator, "In three hours, the ship's hatch will be closed."

All the practitioners opened their eyes immediately, revealing reluctance and helplessness.

The spiritual environment inside the Antarctic ship is so good.

It is more than ten times that of the outside world.

If they could stay here and practice, the speed of improving their spiritual power and magic power would be greatly accelerated. They have experienced this in the past half month.

But no matter how reluctant you are, you have to leave.

Shhhhhh.

Soon.

Practitioners from all countries returned to the hatch passage.

"Wait a few more months, and when the warehouse resources are released, we'll be able to come again."

"Yeah, let's go to the waters of Point Nemo for the time being."

"Foundation building requires spiritual veins, and I don't know if such spiritual vein nodes can be found on Earth."

"I heard that the concentration of spiritual energy in those ancient ruins is relatively high..."

Many people were talking in low voices.

Most of them believe that there must be spiritual vein nodes around the world. After all, the Earth was once a spiritual civilization and there are ancient relics.

Zhou Ping was also looking forward to October six months later, when he would be able to obtain a full five thousand spirit stones and fully master the foundation-building method "Xinhuo Jing" in one fell swoop. This was the foundation-building method bestowed by the Phoenix Fairy, which included various means of attack, defense, and special assistance.

At this time.

Qin Bing, the head of the three major groups, walked over and said with a smile, "Zhou Ping, you are the leader of our young generation. When I return to Kyoto this time, I plan to hold a celebratory banquet. It will be convenient for you young people to exchange cultivation experiences with each other. You can come and participate..."

Zhou Ping interrupted directly, "Sorry, I have to go back to practice in seclusion and summarize my insights. I'm afraid I won't have time to attend the banquet. As for the leader, Mr. Qin is really overpraising you."

What a joke.

He has no interest in attending banquets and exchanging experiences.

Moreover, Qin Bing praised him so highly, and it was obvious that he had no good intentions.

Moreover.

Director Wang and Qin Bing didn't get along well, so if he went there, it would embarrass Director Wang.

Qin Bing smiled and said, "Practice is important. Come back when you have time."

After saying that, he left tactfully.

Around 11:20 am that day.

Hundreds of members from the Special Section and the three major groups returned to Kyoto on a large military passenger fighter jet. Qin Bing and his companions did not stay for dinner and left directly with their men.

"Zhou Ping."

"What did Qin say to you?"

Director Wang asked.

Zhou Ping told Qin Bing that he had invited him to the banquet.

Director Peng sneered, "He's trying to win you over. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, it's going to disgust our Special Section."

Director Wang waved his hand. "It's okay. The Special Branch has secretly fought against the three major groups many times over the years. Zhou Ping is so outstanding now, it's normal for him to be targeted by this Qin Tiger. But Zhou Ping, you have to be careful of my junior brother. He is not only a fierce tiger, but also a smiling tiger. He says one thing to your face and another behind your back. Old Peng and I have suffered losses in the past."

Zhou Ping subconsciously asked, "Is Director Wang worried that he might be tripped up from behind?"

Director Peng nodded and said, "Yes, this guy is very insidious and ruthless. He knows your strength and will definitely not act rashly, but he will definitely use some tricks."

Zhou Ping didn't care about these things.

But what he was worried about was that the other party would attack his relatives.

Director Wang said, "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything so reckless. At most, he will continue to use various tricks to win you over. These tricks are just tactics to paralyze you. If you show any signs of weakness, he will attack you from behind."

Zhou Ping breathed a sigh of relief, but he was secretly worried. He was indeed very strong. Judging from the surface data, he was already the best in the world, but his aunt and uncle, as well as Chen Xuetian and Xiaoqin were still relatively weak.

And this is also his weakness.

"My talisman level has now reached the limit of the second level, and I can make second-level high-quality talismans. Unfortunately, the materials are relatively scarce. Next time I receive warehouse resources, I will have to get more of these materials. As for the formation, as long as I set up a large formation around the Taiyuan villa area, I can prevent any problems before they happen."

Let's put this matter aside for now.

He asked about the three major cases of the Central China Emergency Response Team.

Before going to the Antarctic space ship, he promised that after the matter was over, he would accompany Jiang Xia to handle the three major cases. Now that Director Wang and others were around, he could ask for more information.

Director Wang said, "Zhou Ping, you are talking about the Huicheng family extermination case, the Fushan female slave case, and the Jiangcheng resource extortion case, right?"

"Correct."

Zhou Ping nodded repeatedly.

Director Wang glanced at Director Peng and said, "Let's go back to the office first."

Several people came to the office in the building.

Made a cup of hot tea.

Director Wang then slowly said, "Captain Wu told me about these three major cases. The General Administration has also sent people to investigate. The resource extortion case is actually not complicated. It mainly involves the Moon Palace Taoist Temple. For the remaining two cases, the main evidence has been destroyed. The suspects have been arrested, but they were just pushed forward by the people behind the scenes."

"According to the General Administration's investigation, we've obtained some clues. The Huicheng family massacre case points to a high-ranking official surnamed Wu from one of the three major groups. The Fushan female slave case is more complicated. Although the clues indicate that it is related to a professor at the Jade Rabbit Taoist Temple and also involves Qin Bing's relatives, I infer that there is another mastermind behind it."

talking.

Director Wang asked Director Peng to retrieve the specific archival information.

Zhou Ping sat aside and read carefully. He focused on the Fushan female slave case. The investigation content was that Fushan had been operating for decades. In the past, they were all ordinary girls, mainly engaged in the flesh trade, but in recent years, female practitioners began to be involved, and among them were the female students of Yutu Taoist Academy.

Look at it as a whole.

There is indeed more information than what was found in Jiangcheng.

"Director Wang." "It says here that the professor associated with Jade Rabbit Taoist Temple is of good character, has a good reputation within the academy, and is very protective of the students. Could this just be his superficial appearance?"

Director Wang shook his head. "I know Professor Sun. I'm very familiar with him. He's definitely not two-faced. After the case broke, he learned that some female students had fallen into despair because of him. He blamed himself so much that he attempted suicide several times. Fortunately, he was discovered by the supervisors. He is now under 24-hour guard at the Taoist temple."

"That's why I said this case is complicated. It's very likely that someone is taking advantage of Professor Sun. Furthermore, those girls have completely lost their self-awareness and are like puppets. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

"You should know that among the hundred arts of monks, there is the art of puppetry, but this art has no method passed down, and we didn't get it on the space ship."

Director Wang paused and continued, "I was planning to have you investigate anyway. After all, you're the leader of the emergency response team, and you've been busy with the ancient ruins. Some people are unhappy about this, and there have been complaints from higher-ups."

"It's just right that you take over now, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the duties of the emergency team."

Zhou Ping nodded, "Okay, I will be responsible for these three cases."

Chatted for a while.

He left the office.

Director Peng quickly caught up with him.

"Director, what else?"

Zhou Ping asked.

Director Peng lowered his voice and said, "These three cases are related to three major groups and two major academies. You will inevitably have to deal with them, and conflicts are inevitable. The current main focus in China is to establish a security base to deal with future crises, so the overall priority is stability. You must keep this in mind when handling these cases."

Seeing Zhou Ping frowning.

Director Peng sighed, "I know you're young and your cultivation is high, but there are some things that need to be prioritized for the greater good."

Zhou Ping said, "Director, I understand, but if it is confirmed that the target has committed a crime, I will handle it according to the law."

"Row."

"As long as we have evidence, our Special Branch is not afraid of the three major groups."

Director Peng patted Zhou Ping on the shoulder.

Leave the building.

Zhou Ping received a message from Jiang Xia saying that she was waiting for him at the gate and they wanted to have lunch together.

He rushed to the gate immediately.

Captain Yuan, Captain Lu and others are here too.

"We'll be returning to our respective cities this afternoon. Let's get together for lunch. The next time we get together will be in October."

"Walk."

The few of them did not go anywhere far, but found a restaurant nearby.

Drink and chat.

During the meeting, the actual combat testing of space ships was discussed.

Zhou Ping then explained the two types of identities: inner disciples and true disciples.

Team Yuan sighed, "I didn't expect that we are just ordinary disciples of Taiyan Sect. According to the conditions of Taiyan Sect, it is extremely difficult to break into the inner gate."

Captain Lu nodded. "Yes, for the third level, you need to have a combat power of over 400. Once you have a combat power of 400, every increase becomes extremely difficult. Come on, it's a goal after all."

Yuan Yi and others have been in the special department for many years. They have good cultivation and strong combat power, but they have not reached the level of geniuses after all. If they work hard, they can break into the inner gate, but it is almost impossible to become a true disciple.

no way.

After all, Taiyan Sect is a behemoth at the level of the universe and star field.

It was already past three in the afternoon when we finished eating.

Several people said goodbye to each other.

Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia did not return to the Special Section Bureau, but took a flight directly back to Jiangcheng.

In business class.

He briefly talked about the three major cases.

Jiang Xia's face lit up with joy. "Zhou Ping, thank you."

"Why thank me? These cases should have been my responsibility."

Jiang Xia said nothing.

But she felt touched in her heart. She knew that Zhou Ping took over these three difficult cases because of her. If she had not insisted on investigating, Zhou Ping would not have mentioned it.

There are many cases related to practitioners every year, and handling these three cases must be very exhausting.

Got off the plane.

Jiang Xia asked, "Which case do you plan to investigate first?"

Zhou Ping pondered for a moment and replied, "Let's deal with the Fushan female slave case first. This case is the most complicated, but the other two are not difficult."

……

Kyoto.

The headquarters buildings of the three major groups.

Top floor office.

Qin Bing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking down at the entire scenery of Kyoto. He held a wine glass in his hand and took a sip from time to time.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

He turned around and sat in his office chair.

"come in."

Soon a woman in a cool short skirt walked in. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her face was full of youthfulness. However, the moment she stepped through the office door, waves rippled and her appearance suddenly changed. The cool short skirt was replaced by a moon-white embroidered skirt. She had delicate eyebrows, an oval face, and a veil. She exuded an air of being otherworldly, but her eyes were similar to those of Lian Yue that Zhou Ping had seen. Just one look at her seemed to arouse the most primitive desire in one's heart.

"Boss Qin really knows how to enjoy himself. He just came back from Antarctica and asked the two women I have in Jing'an to accompany him."

Her voice was both pitiful and weak, yet also somewhat charming and seductive.

Qin Bing quickly suppressed the thoughts of protection and possession that were rising in his heart, and stood up and said, "Miss Lianqing, please don't misunderstand me. I am just taking this opportunity to report to you."

Lian Qing hummed softly, then flicked her fingertips, and a fluorescent light instantly enveloped Qin Bing. Then, the fluorescent light seemed to trigger some kind of formation, sweeping across Qin Bing's surface, and in the blink of an eye, it gathered into a green bead.

The green bead flew back to Lianqing's palm.

Qin Bing was horrified when he saw this, not knowing when the other party had done something to him.

Lian Qing said calmly, "No need to report anything else. As long as you enter the Antarctic spaceship, you will have done a great service to me, Jing'an Si."

Wow.

She waved her hand.

The jade bottle floated in front of his eyes, and then with a flick, it flew in front of Qin Bing.

"This is a pill that will help you improve your cultivation. After taking it, your mana will increase by 3."

Qin Bing was very excited. At the foundation-building stage, improving mana was very slow. Even on a spaceship, it might not improve much after several years. "Thank you, Miss Lianqing."

Lian Qing glanced at Qin Bing and said, "You're welcome. I told you that as long as you help Jing An Si wholeheartedly, you can get what you want."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

And after she left.

Two nuns from Jing'an followed him in and began to serve Qin Bing.

Looking at the beautiful and delicate girl.

Qin Bing no longer suppressed his anger and pounced on him.
