Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 225 How rude...

On the deck of the ship that is already docked in the port of Yinghua Kingdom.

Wearing a blue Taoist robe and carrying a black gold sword box, Li Qingfeng looked around with a serious and vigilant expression.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure appearing out of thin air.

In an instant, the hushed conversations and noises on the ship's deck ceased, and the scene fell silent.

Li Qingfeng reacted immediately, instantly forming hand seals and bowing respectfully to the figure.

"Master!"

"Ah."

Upon seeing the visitor smile and nod in response, Li Qingfeng straightened up with a relaxed expression.

Just as the ship docked, his master, who had been talking to him, frowned slightly, gave him a brief instruction, and then vanished in a flash.

Unaware of the situation, Li Qingfeng thought there was some danger nearby and immediately became alert, not daring to relax for a moment.

Everyone on the ship lowered their voices and warily scanned every direction; even the seagulls flying overhead seemed suspicious.

Now it seems that in just a few breaths, Master returned to the ship, his figure as if he had not moved at all.

It seems either the crisis was resolved easily, or it turned out to be a false alarm.

With his sense of crisis subsiding, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

Without much hesitation, I asked the question directly.

"Master, have you noticed anything unusual?"

He asked this question mainly because the initial line of this operation, "Yinghua is in danger, demons and evil spirits are everywhere," was quite appealing.

Through the intelligence channels of Xin Kingdom, I browsed a lot of information about what had happened in Yinghua Kingdom over the past two weeks.

The enormous monster that roamed the sky in particular stirred a sense of crisis in Li Qingfeng.

Therefore, a sense of vigilance and solemnity was subtly present throughout the journey.

But at the same time, he also felt a strong urge to try it out.

Since that day, under the protection of his master, he was the first to enter the Foundation Establishment stage.

What followed was a period of arduous training, practicing swordsmanship day and night, refining new magical weapons, and becoming familiar with the new realm.

Within a few days, without even having time to consume the pills left by his master to aid his cultivation, he successfully reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

At the same time, he also felt his cultivation speed suddenly slow down.

Without much hesitation, having cultivated for a long time, he had long since lost his impatience.

He then thought of taking the opportunity to leave the pass and, as was his habit, go around slaying demons and monsters.

But he soon realized that things had changed.

Although the resurgence of spiritual energy has intensified, the strength of the resurgent demons emerging in various places is also gradually increasing.

But now, with Li Qingfeng having broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, many demons find it difficult to make him unleash a second sword strike.

It took two days and two nights.

After basically eliminating all the high-risk demons whose locations had been identified on the Special Operations Bureau's data network, he once again found himself with no demons left to kill.

After the incident at the Tomb of a Hundred Kings, the entire transcendent realm of the Xin Kingdom remained unusually silent and peaceful.

Some heretical and evil cultivation organizations have also begun to disappear and keep a low profile.

Li Qingfeng, having some free time, searched for several days without success.

It also reminded me that before, when I went down the mountain, I would not return to the mountain gate to visit or contact anyone for months.

In the end, he still encountered a crisis and had to trouble his master to appear and save him. This incident made him feel ashamed for a long time.

Although we had only been apart for a few days, I decided to return to the mountain gate to visit my master.

Then, we easily climbed to the top of the mountain, pushed open the door again, and entered the small Taoist temple built of rocks and marked by the passage of time.

Everything that came into view was like a frozen memory, unchanged in the slightest.

The master, who was enjoying tea while admiring the mountain scenery, bowed deeply before the stone table.

Having achieved significant progress in his cultivation, he learned from his master that he had lived in this small Taoist temple for ten years, and that there was actually a cave dwelling inside the mountain below.

Following my master, we stepped into the vast space, which seemed to be a world unto itself, and we were filled with awe as we looked at the various alchemy furnaces, pools, buildings and pavilions.

However, thinking of his master's miraculous abilities, he calmed down.

In the following days, the Special Operations Bureau had no missions, and various evil cultivation organizations stopped showing up, so Li Qingfeng stayed by their side.

In his spare time, he would follow his master to meditate and cultivate together in the blessed land.

He followed his master to learn alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making, but he did not succeed. He could only practice swordsmanship and martial arts with the bean soldiers scattered by his master in order to improve.

Time has passed, until yesterday.

Unexpectedly, the satellite communicator issued by the Special Operations Bureau rang.

Normally, we don't contact people through this emergency channel unless there's a major crisis or something important.

Upon answering the call, I learned that the crisis in Yinghua Kingdom, which had been causing a great stir on the international internet, had finally reached the point of exploding.

Li Qingfeng, who was worried about not having any demons to eliminate, naturally had no reason to refuse. After making some preparations, he thought of going to say goodbye to his master.

But at the last minute, an idea suddenly popped into his head, and he tentatively extended an invitation to his master.

Unexpectedly, Lu Gu, who was bored to death being left at the Taoist temple's house, agreed after only a slight hesitation.

Then, carrying Li Qingfeng, they transformed into a beam of light and instantly traversed hundreds of miles.

They went directly into the meeting room where a heated discussion was taking place regarding the evacuation of citizens from Yinghua Kingdom.

Now, after the incident at the Tomb of a Hundred Kings, Lü Gu's image in a moon-white Taoist robe has become widely known.

Although he didn't appear in public often, he was the one who truly brought the Hundred Kings Tomb incident to a close, as documented in numerous confidential documents.

In addition, his godlike abilities and formidable strength have long been recorded by all parties and made him a top priority.

If it weren't for the teleportation techniques, such as the escape light, that prevented satellites and surveillance from detecting it.

It's likely that the moment Lü Gu emerges from seclusion, the news will be presented to the heads of various organizations.

However, he abruptly teleported with his apprentice to a meeting between the military and the Special Operations Bureau, which was almost the same location as his self-destruction.

After everyone was startled, most of those who knew the inside story of the Tomb of a Hundred Kings and recognized the identity of the person who came out had their pupils shrink.

A small number of people who didn't know much about the supernatural world were held down by their colleagues, who were eager to survive, before they could even speak or make any moves.

After all, although they didn't know much about this Daoist Wuweizi, whose cultivation level was unknown and who seemed like a god, they only knew that he was powerful and mysterious.

But his only apprentice, Li Qingfeng, a young man working in the Special Operations Bureau and known as the "God of Killing," was different.

Everyone knows his style of doing things all too well.

Ruthless, decisive, and merciless—these words perfectly describe it.

Nowadays, most of the instructional videos on the Special Operations Bureau's internal network show Li Qingfeng alone with his sword, brutally slaying demons.

It's a tutorial animation that many new employees see after connecting to the terminal, just like a game's opening animation—familiar and easy to understand.

Therefore, the authorities and the bureau have been speculating.

Li Qingfeng's style of doing things was probably the result of being taught by that white-haired Taoist priest who appeared briefly and had a smile on his face.

Naturally, they were extremely cautious about making contact, fearing that they might not gain any benefits but instead suddenly die.

Even after learning the location of Li Qingfeng's sect, they still dared not make contact.

Even for surveillance, they only dared to add observation points on the outskirts of surrounding provinces.

After all, nobody knows if the other party can perform divination or fortune-telling.

To date, the think tank has pondered for a long time but has not yet come up with a perfect plan on how to carry out the first step of contact.

Now, Lü Gu, accompanied by his apprentice, suddenly burst into the conference room.

He smiled and said that he had accepted his good apprentice's invitation and was ready to go on the ship to tour the overseas scenery.

After a brief silence and eye contact, the temporary proposal was quickly passed by everyone.

The main problem was that no one dared to refuse at the moment, while some quick-thinking people had a look of joy in their eyes.

To put it bluntly, this operation, ostensibly an evacuation and relief effort, is actually nothing more than a different kind of extraordinary show of force.

So what's the situation now?
It's like a child arranging troops, and suddenly an adult who knows martial arts appears!

And there's a high probability that they'll know the Tai Chi Cloud Leap technique.

This is an outside help that we would be begging for!

Subsequently, things proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

After obtaining the approval from all senior management and administrators for the entire plan, Lü Gu did not hesitate at all.

Once again, carrying Li Qingfeng, they vanished in a streak of light into the secret conference room, some unknown depth underground. They landed directly on the deck of a ship docked in the harbor, preparing to depart.

The ship's officials, who had already been informed, rushed out of their cabins to greet them.

After a period of cautious, tentative communication, various top-class cabins were prepared, along with other gestures of goodwill.

In the end, all he received was a calm smile from Lü Gu and a brief, even reply.

"No need."

As he spoke, a group of officials gathered around him, as if he were a leader on an inspection tour.

And further out, under the awe-inspiring gaze of other elite Special Operations Bureau agents who had departed with the ship.

With a wave of his hand, Lü Gu summoned a burst of smoke and a special effect of rosy clouds.

Several villagers with the words "cows and horses" on their heads quickly came into view.

Taking advantage of the special effects' concealment, he used the potion's effects at an absurdly high speed, leaving afterimages behind.

In the blink of an eye, following the orders set by Lü Gu in advance, a huge ancient-style pavilion, nearly ten meters high and with a width that directly filled most of the bow of the ship, was built.

When the smoke and rosy clouds dissipate.

Having done all this, Lü Gu seemed completely unaware, even under the watchful eyes of a group of people.

With a calm expression, he slowly walked into the pavilion that had suddenly sprung up in front of him, and sat down cross-legged on the futon behind the solid wood table in the center.

Just then, a soft, gentle voice, just like the one before, roused the shocked crowd from their reverie.

"Please don't be shy, everyone can make yourselves at home."

The nonchalance in his words suggested that he genuinely didn't think he had done anything surprising.

One of the accompanying officials, who was closer and the first to come to his senses, looked at the sturdy, square pavilion pillars in front of him, which were brownish-red and had a wood grain pattern.

He raised his hand, trembling slightly, and slowly stroked it.

Upon touching it, one feels a rough yet smooth and exceptionally solid texture, as if this pavilion has stood here since time immemorial.

The thought had barely formed in his mind when he turned his head absently to look at the sea beside him as the ship started up and roared past, breaking through the waves.

He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, but couldn't utter a word.

The others did the same, following suit and cautiously reaching out to touch it.

I confirmed that what I was seeing was not an illusion, but a real, enormous building rising from the ground.

Several elderly men in military uniforms, whose beards were already gray but whose postures were still upright, disregarded their image and lay down on the ground.

They began to examine the pavilion floor tiles that connected to the deck.

However, they were stunned for a moment, when they realized that there was a not-so-narrow gap between the floor tiles and the deck of the huge pavilion.

The people lying on the ground could even clearly see the railings and the sea opposite the ship's side from this vantage point.

This pavilion seems to float in mid-air!
After scanning the area, they noticed a patch of green in the center of the huge pavilion's floor tiles.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that it was a large, unidentified leaf, broad, tender, and delicate, resembling a lotus leaf.

Beneath the leaves, a tender green stem, not much thicker than an arm, grows straight up on the ship's deck.

It was as if this unknown plant was supporting the pavilion, which looked to be quite heavy.

Moreover, everyone soon discovered that this suddenly appearing, enormous structure did not cause any change in the ship's draft.

It was as if no weight was being applied at all.

All the discoveries have somewhat shaken their worldviews.

The accompanying officials then began to whisper among themselves, discussing which kind of mythical herb or magical plant the green plant that supported the entire house was.

However, nothing came of it in the end.

Then, looking at the master and disciple sitting cross-legged on the prayer mats in front of the table in the pavilion, no one dared to go up and ask them anything.

He could only stand on the deck, looking conflicted, unsure whether to move forward or backward.

Meanwhile, the other soldiers on the ship and the superhumans who had been transferred all lowered their voices and stood at a distance, not daring to make any rash moves.

They all looked at the two people in the pavilion with awe.

Some people who didn't understand the situation were about to walk away when their companions quickly pulled them back, whispered a few words in their ears, and their expressions changed in turn.

In the blink of an eye, from the moment Lü Gu appeared on the deck to the moment he conjured an ancient-style pavilion out of thin air with a wave of his hand, only a minute or two had passed.

This plunged the entire ship into a deathly silence and oppressive atmosphere.

Those who were originally staying in the cabins were fine, but the elite superhumans from the Special Operations Bureau who came up to the deck and wandered around were all secretly complaining.

If they turned around and left, they were afraid of being misunderstood as having a contemptuous attitude, so they could only remain silent and stay in place.

So for the next twenty hours, from the moment the ship set sail until it arrived at the port of Yinghua Kingdom, everyone remained in this stalemate.

Fortunately, everyone present was a highly accomplished domestic elite, so they could tolerate this level of severity.

After glancing at them a few times, Lü Gu ignored them completely.

They exclaimed in surprise as if they had never seen the world before, touching the building, and then somehow they all stood there dumbfounded.

Just taking advantage of the slight joy of suddenly gaining another batch of points, he took out a teapot and tea set that was still steaming from his backpack and placed it on the table.

The young apprentice beside him immediately and skillfully poured tea for himself and his master.

The two of them drank tea amidst the salty sea breeze and the cries of seagulls.

Bored, Lü Gu pulled out several ancient Taoist divination and talisman-drawing books that his predecessor had compiled.

He simply handed the task to his young apprentice to learn, while also trying to find inspiration through explanation and instruction.

To the others, however, it appeared as if the two were sitting in an ancient-style pavilion filled with ethereal charm, openly teaching and imparting Taoist techniques.

One by one, they were secretly shocked, knowing that this was the extraordinary realm where spiritual energy had just begun to recover.

For even half a fragment of a cultivation manual, several reputable organizations would fight tooth and nail.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone present had joined the Special Operations Bureau and had a basic cultivation method, they would probably all be exhausted from trying to cultivate the technique.

Unexpectedly, a mysterious master of unknown cultivation level is now openly passing on his teachings.

Although they were all terrified.

But there were still quite a few people, even with cold sweat on their foreheads from nervousness and unease in their eyes.

Even so, he kept his eyes wide open and his ears perked up, making sure to memorize every gesture and word he saw.

Who knows, this might be the great opportunity in many stories!
Who can bear this?

Soon, the ship was sailing on the boundless sea.

Amidst the monotonous scenery, only as time passes, does the setting sun, half-hidden on the horizon, paint the sea red.

As the sun had set and darkness began to fall, the massive steel warship was already shrouded in darkness.

Instantly, the four corners of the huge pavilion in the center of the ship's side seemed to have triggered some kind of restriction, and suddenly a soft orange light shone on them.

Some square objects, which were originally thought to be just decorations, slowly lit up at this moment, illuminating most of the deck.

This drew another gasp of surprise.

Fortunately, after a day of shock, people had developed some immunity, and their expressions of surprise didn't linger in the crowd for long.

They all looked with curiosity at the pavilion, which was suddenly illuminated by lights and appeared even more extraordinary.

I wondered what powered these suspended, inlaid objects, which had no pipes connecting them, or what kind of magic produced their light.

Meanwhile, looking at the monotonous sea, Lü Gu, feeling somewhat bored, simply sat cross-legged on the futon.

He struck a standard pose, closed his eyes, and pretended to be cultivating, but in reality, he shifted his focus to other individuals whose scenes were more interesting.

Saw this scene.

The other members of the special operations bureau, whose eyes were already bloodshot and who were nervously "stealing the secrets" on the deck, hesitated for a moment.

They all sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to cultivate their own basic techniques together with this god-like figure.

Holding the belief that no matter why they did it, the other party's cultivation level was so high that there must be a reason, everyone followed suit.

Thus, the largest and most magnificent cruiser in the entire naval fleet fell into a period of quiet contemplation.

Until the morning of the next day.

As the ship was about to dock, Lü Gu slowly switched his view back from the nearly completed Heaven and Hell scene.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he seemed to sense something and turned his head, his gaze suddenly widening.

Then they saw a camouflaged drone high in the sky, diagonally above the ship, pointing its camera straight at them.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, put away his stance, and slowly sat up from the futon.

"How rude..."
