The reborn policewoman's dog solves numerous major cases, shocking the nation.

Chapter 187 Target: Qingcheng Mountain!

After accepting the ambitious yet somewhat unrealistic task of "spiritual energy revival," Chu Sheng calmed down.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.

To revive the spiritual energy of the entire Earth, he first needs to find where the "spiritual energy" is.

Currently, his only clue is that old Taoist priest who has a bad temper but real skills.

He is a rare "expert" in this era who also knows how to utilize spiritual energy.

He must know something.

"Uncle Qi, where is that old Taoist priest?" Chu Sheng asked Qi Gaowei, who was peeling an apple nearby, through his parrot.

Qi Gaowei paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Let's go."

"Gone?" Chu Sheng was so anxious he almost jumped out of bed. "Where did they go?"

"I don't know," Qi Gaowei said with a wry smile. "This old immortal was a retired senior official from the capital. It took a tremendous amount of favors to get him out of the deep mountains. As soon as the mission was over, he said that he had severed all worldly ties and wanted to return to the mountains to cultivate in seclusion. No one could stop him."

“We don’t even know his name or which Taoist temple he comes from. All we know is that he comes from Qingcheng Mountain.”

Qingcheng Mountain?
Chu Sheng felt more confident.

You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple. As long as you know the location, you won't have to worry about not being able to find him.

"I'm going to find him," Chu Sheng said firmly.

"no!"

Almost simultaneously, Qi Gaowei and Su Yueling refused in unison.

"It's too dangerous!" Qi Gaowei said seriously. "Wasn't the lesson from last time enough? There are countless eyes watching you now, and the remnants of those 'Ouroboros' could come back at any time. You must stay in the safest place right now!"

"Yes! I won't let you go!" Su Yueling hugged Chu Sheng's neck tightly, her eyes reddening again. "If something happens to you again, what... what will I do?"

Looking at the unquestionable gazes of the two, Chu Sheng felt a bit overwhelmed.

He knew they were acting in his best interest, but the first step of the "Revitalization of Spirituality" plan had to be implemented as soon as possible.

He patiently let the myna bird explain: "The boss said that we can't hide. We know nothing about the enemy right now, so we can only take the initiative by attacking first. That old Taoist priest is the only breakthrough point, and we must find him."

"The boss also said that he had a feeling that Qingcheng Mountain was not simple. The answer we need might be hidden there."

Seeing that the two were still hesitant, Chu Sheng had no choice but to unleash his ultimate move.

"Woof! (Besides, that old man stole several of my treasured autographed photos, I have to go get them back!)"

Qi Gaowei: "..."

Su Yueling: "..."

In the end, after Chu Sheng's persistent pleading, the two of them compromised.

"You can go!" Qi Gaowei decided. "I'll send a full-strength special operations brigade, with integrated land and air support, to protect you around the clock!"

"No need," Chu Sheng decisively refused. "Too many people will only make us more visible and give us away. This operation must be conducted discreetly."

"How can that be done!"

“Just Su Yueling and I will go.” Chu Sheng looked at Su Yueling. “I need a human to help me with some things that I’m not comfortable doing myself, such as… buying plane tickets and booking hotels.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yueling's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay! I'll go with you!"

She had long wanted to go on an "adventure" with Chu Sheng, instead of always having to stay behind and live in fear.

In the end, Qi Gaowei could not persuade them otherwise and had to agree to this seemingly hasty plan.

Of course, secretly, he had already mobilized the Skynet satellite network and all intelligence forces lurking near Qingcheng Mountain to conduct 24-hour uninterrupted surveillance of that area. On the day of departure, Chu Sheng enjoyed the treatment befitting a national treasure.

When Su Yueling drove Chu Sheng to the airport, what was waiting there was not an ordinary commercial airliner, but a sleek private jet with special badges.

The airport officials and airline executives stood respectfully at the foot of the gangway. When they saw Chu Sheng, they smiled more warmly than if they were seeing their own father.

"Comrade Buchai, it's an honor for our entire aviation system that you're flying! We've specially prepared the most comfortable private jet for you, ensuring a pleasant journey!"

Chu Sheng strode confidently onto the plane, head held high, while Su Yueling followed behind, feeling like a lackey.

Once on the plane, Chu Sheng was even more astonished.

Inside the cabin, there are not only soft carpets and comfortable sofas, but also a small self-service dog treat bar.

The most outrageous thing is that at the other end of the cabin, there are two separate luxury "compartments", each with a female husky and a female German Shepherd lying in their respective compartments. The female husky is of excellent pedigree and is incredibly beautiful.

When they saw Chu Sheng, they all showed shy yet admiring eyes.

A flight attendant approached and explained with a smile, "Comrade Buchai, this is a 'travel companion' specially arranged for you by our leader, in case you get bored on the journey..."

Chu Sheng: "?"

Su Yueling: "??"

"Woof! (What do you take me for?! A stud?! I am a descendant of the Howling Celestial Dog, a proper dog!)" Chu Sheng roared angrily at Su Yueling.

Su Yueling suppressed a laugh, asked the two bewildered flight attendants and the two shy female dogs to leave, and closed the cabin door.

The plane soared into the sky amidst a peaceful and friendly atmosphere, heading towards the mysterious Qingcheng Mountain.

Chapter 189 Reunion at the Foot of the Mountain

After several hours of flight, the special plane landed smoothly at the military airport closest to Qingcheng Mountain.

Stepping out of the airport, Chu Sheng took a deep breath.

Ok?
A hint of surprise flashed in his icy blue eyes.

He could clearly feel that the air here was different from that in Jinghai City.

The various colored specks of light representing "spiritual energy" in the air, though still sparse, were indeed slightly more concentrated than in Jinghai City.

It's like walking from a room that's almost completely vacuum into a room with just a little bit of air left.

Although it's still suffocating, at least there's something there.

It seems we've really come to the right place this time.

Following the address given by Qi Gaowei, Su Yueling rented a low-profile SUV and drove towards Qingcheng Mountain.

On the map, Mount Qingcheng is just an unremarkable little mountain range with no famous attractions or even a decent mountain road.

The car drove to the foot of the mountain, but couldn't go any further.

The two people and the dog got out of the car and were greeted by a dirt road that had been worn into the ground, winding upwards, with dense woods and wild grass on both sides.

"That old Taoist priest's temple is on this mountain?" Su Yueling looked at the desolate scene before her, somewhat incredulous.

"Woof. (Yes, this is it.)"

As Chu Sheng answered, he used his senses, which had evolved to the second level of Qi Refining, to carefully explore his surroundings.

The higher you go, the more pronounced the feeling of abundant spiritual energy becomes.

Although it's still very faint, it at least proves that there must be something on this mountain, or at the foot of this mountain.
