Then all my cultivation as an immortal has been for nothing?

Chapter 45 The Search and Crackdown That Day

As soon as Grandma Hao entered the room, she asked Wang Yi in a formulaic manner, "Are you feeling any better?"

Wang Yi: "Well, I've already opened up my Ren and Du meridians, so of course I feel much better."

The pain just now was just like the scene in martial arts novels where someone opens up their Ren and Du meridians, which is why Wang Yi said that.

Grandma Hao: "Then let's test your physical strength again. Can you get up and sit on the diagnostic machine?"

Right next to Wang Yi's hospital bed was a diagnostic instrument, which looked similar to the automatic exercise machine that Wang Yi usually used, but it seemed to be a professional diagnostic instrument that could measure more detailed parameters.

At this moment, Elsa sat up, stretched out a big yawn—in the form of a cat—and then called out to Old Mrs. Hao: "Old Mrs. Hao—Manager Hao, why are you ordering people around as soon as you arrive?"

Manager Hao: "Wang Yi himself must also be curious about how his five dimensions will change after experiencing pain that feels like a complete transformation, right?"

Wang Yi: "Indeed."

It's estimated that Uncle 301 and his team have already programmed their five-dimensional attributes, which can be measured using medical equipment. However, their true five-dimensional attributes will only be known when Uncle 301 comes to them.

Whether you look at the fake 5D model or not, the real 5D model will definitely not be lower than the fake one.

So Wang Yi stood up. Although the movement was very vigorous, he sprang to his feet in a somersault, but he did not experience any anemia or dizziness.

His physical condition had already reached 0.8 after taking the "power pill," which is close to the level of an average adult male. This time, it's likely that it has improved again.

After Wang Yi sat down on the diagnostic instrument, the machine had already produced the results before he could even operate it.

Wang Yi's current five dimensions are as follows:
Strength 1.3, Constitution 1.1, Agility 0.6, Perception 0.2, Qi Sea 1.1
It seems that his physique improved the most, jumping from 0.8 after taking the power pill to 1.1. His strength and agility also improved by 0.1, while his perception remained unchanged.

It's this Qi Sea that's showing up. I don't know if it's directly revealing the true attributes that were hidden last time, or if it's actually already higher than 1.1.

Wang Yi thought it was the latter.

No matter how I look at it, my cheat is related to Qi, so my Qi Sea must grow faster than ordinary people's - after all, the cheat can also allow me to circulate my Qi in places that others can't see, allowing me to achieve "dual SIM dual standby".

Manager Hao exclaimed in astonishment: "Amazing growth! If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual root still shows 22, I would have thought the machine was broken when I tested the spiritual root before."

Wang Yi: "Is cultivation speed necessarily tied to spiritual root?"

"No," Manager Hao said. "During the expert consultation, I checked the archives and found that there were indeed cases of people with low spiritual roots who cultivated very quickly. Most of them chose cultivation methods that suited their personality, and some were even influenced by the immortal energy left behind by ancient immortal cultivators."

Wang Yi wondered to himself: Could it be that all those people had some kind of special opportunity, and then the Imperial Observatory covered it up, and the so-called choice of a cultivation method that matched their nature was just a pretext to get by?

The diagnosis can be made by looking at the conclusions of the expert consultation.

If the experts also say that I am particularly compatible with the cultivation method, then it's highly likely—

Manager Hao: "As for you, your situation is different from existing cases. After evaluation, the experts believe that it may not be related to the compatibility of the exercises."

It doesn't matter! Then there's no way to definitively prove that the others who leveled up quickly were cheaters.

However, it's also possible that the experts are well-paid and therefore reliable.

Manager Hao continued, "Experts believe it's very likely that you encountered two attacks by demonic cultivators shortly after entering the world of cultivation, suddenly raising your threshold to a very high level. Especially after being contaminated by something sent by the demonic cultivators, you were immediately subjected to emergency treatment, which caused you..."

Wang Yi interrupted, "You've opened up the Ren and Du meridians?"

I've seen this plot before; it's from Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle"!

Manager Hao: "You can understand it that way if you want. In short, the experts believe that we can make an exception for you. Also, your rapid progress, compared to your level 22 spiritual root, may exacerbate the anxiety of new students."

No, could I possibly exacerbate their anxiety? What does that have to do with me?
Elsa nudged Wang Yi to stop him from speaking, and said herself, "If I understand correctly, you're going to give my apprentice special tutoring, right?"

Manager Hao nodded: "Yes, we should open it, but we can't let the current new recruits know. Some of them are already very unstable. Elsa, you know who I'm talking about."

Elsa crossed her arms in cat form: "As for Pang Jianming, I used my access to look at his psychological assessment file. After he mastered the third level of the Heart-Clearing Technique, his progress slowed down significantly. Although his master and instructors repeatedly told him that this was a normal phenomenon, he still gradually accumulated anxiety."

Wang Yi raised his hand: "This Mind Cleansing Technique was also given away for free with 0 points?"

“No,” Manager Hao shook his head, “this is a benefit for newcomers with high spiritual roots.”

Wang Yi blurted out, "What? So some newcomers are just more equitable than others?! I'm not happy about this, I'm going to cause trouble, I'm going to break my Dao heart and become a demonic cultivator!"

Despite saying that, the battery logo on his wrist was still light gold; he was just joking.

"Hahahaha!" Elsa burst into laughter. "What you just said sounded like that quirky song 'The Chief's Wife,' 'The doctor said I can't let my emotions fluctuate~ They made me fluctuate, fluctuate~'"

Manager Hao: "Elsa, shut up."

However, Elsa ignored her and continued singing that strange song: "'My dear husband, I want to jump off the mountain~ No, no, I really want to jump off the mountain~ Waaaaaah~'"

Manager Hao raised his voice: "Elsa! Shut up! Or I'll deduct your points!"

"Okay." Elsa stuck out her tongue and shut her mouth.

Manager Hao then continued, "Based on our past experience, a newcomer like Pang Jianming, a 'prodigy,' is very likely to lose control due to pride and other emotional outbursts, turning into a demonic cultivator. "In contrast, Wang Yi, all your psychological tests show that your mentality is very stable; you'd grow wildly even if left unattended like a weed."

"Of course, you can question this if you wish, as the company did underestimate you before. The company has decided to increase your monthly base points to 400."

It's doubled!
Although it doubled, the base value was too low, so it didn't increase much.

Manager Hao: "The experts' opinion is to 'teach according to aptitude,' so you don't need to attend the basic newcomer training course starting tomorrow. In order to stabilize everyone's Daoist mind, we will say that you went astray due to forcibly breaking through the first level and are now transferred to the recuperation department."

"In other words, in the eyes of ordinary students, you have become a shameful loser, a half-demon cultivator whose freedom is restricted. Of course, if they have connections, they will find out that you have actually become a big star. But most new students do not have such connections, and unless their masters mention it, they will never know."

"And their masters, in order to stabilize the newcomers' Dao hearts, certainly won't mention it."

reasonable.

Wang Yi: "You just said 'teaching according to aptitude,' so you're going to give me special tutoring?"

"It's not just about getting special training; you'll be assigned to an E-level squad as an observer, watching them hunt down demonic cultivators in the human dimension. When they're not on missions, you'll have dedicated instructors to teach you," Manager Hao said.

Wang Yi was overjoyed.

This is fucking great! Going out on field missions means we can seize the opportunity to kill some more demonic cultivators.

Manager Hao sighed, "To be honest, I don't understand this decision at all. Sending a newbie whose only spell is levitation to the E-level squad's combat field, I don't understand what the higher-ups are thinking."

Wang Yi thought to himself, "You're right not to understand. This decision was probably made by 301 or even the third of the Seven Sages."

They roughly deduced the connection between their opportunity and the demonic cultivator, and generously gave him the chance to become a demonic cultivator.

Manager Hao: "Elsa has also been assigned to the team with you as an observer and support. I think that on a humanitarian level, she is a dimensional reduction attack on those demonic cultivators, so she should be... not too dangerous."

Manager Hao seemed quite uncertain, after all, Wang Yi had already encountered two attacks from demonic cultivators in the human dimension.

Actually, it happened four times, but twice in dreams, and the last time Wang Yi even took the initiative to challenge him.

Just like the song says: But this world is not peaceful; even in times of peace, there are turbulent events.

Manager Hao shook his head, seemingly deciding not to dwell on the decision made by higher-ups, and asked, "So, can you accept this outcome?"

Wang Yi nodded repeatedly: "I accept this arrangement."

Manager Hao stared at Wang Yi: "When you make contact with the E-level team, they'll probably be very curious about you, which will greatly satisfy your vanity. You need to stay calm and not get carried away! Getting carried away will cause your Dao heart to collapse."

Wang Yi: "Why do I feel like cultivators are so delicate? If they don't let their Dao heart sway, it will collapse; if they do, it will also collapse. Does that mean if a cultivator kicks a cabinet with their toe, their Dao heart will collapse and they'll turn into a demonic cultivator? Like this!"

Wang Yi spread his arms wide: "'It hurts so much! Even this little dresser is defying me! Is there any justice in this world? I will make the world feel pain! Shinra Tensei!'"

"No, not at all." Manager Hao seemed not to understand what Wang Yi was talking about and responded coldly, "Anyway, congratulations on completing the first level and becoming the fastest-growing trainee cultivator in the entire Kunyu Energy Group."

Wang Yi: "Am I already the fastest in the entire company? And within the entire Imperial Observatory?"

Manager Hao swiped the tablet, then instead of answering directly, said, "Remember, there are always mountains beyond mountains and buildings beyond buildings, and there will always be outstanding talents who surpass their teachers."

“But each era has its own time of dominance for hundreds of years,” Wang Yi said, spreading his hands. “Have these hundreds of years been my era?”

Manager Hao looked at Elsa and said, "I think he's already showing signs of going mad. Why don't we have the Judgment Division give him a fatal blow?"

"I wouldn't dare! Spare me!" Wang Yi displayed the courage of a true man, "I was just joking!"

Manager Hao: "I was just joking. I've finished conveying what I needed to say. You should rest well. You have three days to recuperate. If you want to practice, you can use the hospital's automatic exercise machine, or you can go to the meditation room. Report to the field team after three days."

Wang Yi: "What are the benefits of meditation?"

“Strengthen your Dao heart,” Manager Hao said, looking at Elsa. “Didn’t you tell him?”

"I already said it!" Elsa raised her voice. "He can't blame me for not remembering, can he? Don't deduct my points! I just redeemed some supplements for the medical monk on the plane, and I'm really agonizing over it!"

Wang Yi recalled the conversation he had vaguely overheard on the plane. He hadn't expected that Elsa had actually redeemed the supplements to help the doctor replenish his energy.

Manager Hao: "We won't deduct your points. On the contrary, your performance this time has earned you a very high evaluation from the company, which believes that you may make great achievements in cultivating talent."

"In addition, you've mentored a trainee cultivator like Wang Yi, so you can pretty much expect your year-end bonus."

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, then chuckled to herself, "Hahaha, that old man, Daoist Kuchan, is going to be green with envy. He probably doesn't have many points left after exchanging for the Longevity Pill!"

Wang Yi was startled and hurriedly asked, "Will the Daoist Kuchan lose his Dao heart because of my rapid progress? Will he turn into a demonic cultivator?"

Manager Hao reassured him, "Don't worry, we've been monitoring Ku Chan Dao Ren ever since he first exchanged for the Longevity Pill. We won't let our guard down around someone who has a reason to take such a risk."

……That's good.
