Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"Regarding the Era of Qi Refining..."

"Actually, there have been related speculations for a long time."

Yu Ji said, "After all, the Great Xia Dynasty has had many legends about Qi cultivators attaining immortality since ancient times, but the lineage and verifiable records of Qi cultivators have been erased."

"When the spiritual energy first appeared..."

"Some people have linked spiritual energy with the Qi practitioners who once existed in myths and legends."

"But because the relevant records were erased..."

Therefore, those speculations cannot be confirmed.

"However, one thing is certain..."

"That's the martial art we cultivate, which is very likely a degenerated version of the Qi Refining Path. Also..." Yu Ji paused slightly as if thinking before speaking again...

"There's another theory."

"The world that might invade Earth now is the world where the Ascended Ones are said to reside."

"Those ascendants took everything with them."

"They severed the path between heaven and earth, cutting off the way for future generations."

"The reason for this speculation is..."

"It's because our martial arts techniques not only perfectly match the spiritual energy flowing in from other dimensions, but also have many creatures similar to those in our local legends, such as the Bashe, as testimonies..."

He Li nodded secretly upon hearing this.

This is not just a little bit reasonable; upon closer examination, this guess is very close to the truth.

At this moment, Jiang Han chimed in...

"This claim is indeed true!"

"And some people speculate that the current invasion might be because something is wrong with the world of the Ascended, so they... or rather, their world is targeting Earth."

Is something wrong with the world of the Ascended?

That's a possibility.

"The world of the Ascended?"

"Tsk, I'm quite curious... Maybe we can invade them from the opposite direction when we have the chance!" He Li said with a smile after listening to what Yu Ji and Jiang Han said.

The two women's eyelids twitched upon hearing this.

As expected of him, he really dares to say it...

No, given his personality, he's more than just talk; he might actually do it.

But the problem is...

If it is truly a world of ascendants, there must be many top-tier beings capable of moving mountains and seas. Even if He Li went there, he might not be able to gain any advantage.

They were secretly pondering this.

He Li changed the subject: "Alright!"

"The truth about Qi Refiners will eventually come to light as we gradually uncover it."

"Compared to such ethereal matters as Qi Refiners, right now... it's more important to resolve the Dragon Worship Society issue. I've already obtained a lot of information from Abbess Mingxuan."

"Including the ten cities where dragon offspring exist..."

"It's just that we don't know where the Dragon Lord will go."

"So now we're contacting those city-level special bureaus and getting them all mobilized."

"The Dragon Lord has already begun dealing with those dragon offspring, though it's unclear what will happen if he succeeds..."

"But it would be best to stop him if possible."

"To prevent him from causing too many casualties."

After He Li finished speaking, Yu Ji nodded.

Zhao Hu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, do you think those local special bureaus will listen to us when we give them orders?" Not only him, but Yang Jian and the others also had some doubts.

Jiang Han pursed her lips upon hearing this.

"They wouldn't dare disobey; geniuses like He Li and Fan Ge have special privileges."

"When major events occur, we have the authority to issue orders to local special bureaus to carry out tasks. If they disobey orders, they will naturally be held accountable by their superiors."

She was, after all, Lin Fan's teammate.

Jiang Han knows quite a lot.

Zhao Hu and Yang Jian were somewhat surprised and suspicious upon hearing this.

Are national-level geniuses really that powerful? Even local special affairs bureaus have to obey their orders?

They couldn't help but look at He Li...

His eyes were full of envy.

He Li does indeed possess privileges similar to Lin Fan's, as Jiang Han said, allowing him to command local special bureaus. However, what Jiang Han doesn't know is that his authority is even higher than Lin Fan's.

According to Jiang Han, Lin Fan could only command the local special bureau when major events occurred.

But He Li can do it anytime!

This was a unique privilege granted to him by the Kyoto authorities.

The reason for granting such rights is...

Perhaps it's because, compared to geniuses like Lin Fan whose complex and deeply entangled backgrounds sometimes hinder their investigations, He Li is unrestrained and doesn't give face to anyone...

They are better able to handle cases well.

The special privileges granted to He Li by Kyoto were largely intended to allow him to handle cases with peace of mind.

But there's nothing to brag about about this.

He Li didn't say anything more.

He simply stood close to Yu Ji, watching as Yu Ji quickly sent messages and communicated in his name to the special bureaus of the other seven cities besides Bacheng, Rongcheng, and Emei.

Meanwhile, the Le City Special Bureau...

"Huh? Where did this mission notification come from?"

"What's going on in Bacheng? Urgent notification..."

Inside the Sky Eye Division of the Lecheng Special Bureau, the investigators who suddenly received the information were taken aback.

"What kind of logic is this...the Yama who chews bones???"

"Holy crap! It's him?! Notify the minister immediately!!!"

"This is probably a big deal!"

After a brief moment of shock, the investigators immediately contacted the head of the Sky Eye Department to communicate, since He Li's name had spread throughout Shu Prefecture and they couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

However, when the investigators contacted the minister, the head of the Sky Eye Department didn't seem to care much...

"What's the reason? I've heard of it."

"A newly emerging genius? On par with Lin Fan and the others."

"We've been informed of this kind of genius beforehand; he can certainly give us orders in case of major events. But... he wants us to keep a close eye on the 'Spirit Blood Case' in Lecheng?"

The portly minister glanced at the contents, his eyes filled with indifference and disdain...

"You can decide that yourselves."

"Don't bother me anymore."

"Judging from his message, he hasn't encountered anything major; he just wants to investigate a big case. He simply wants to come to Lecheng to solve the Lecheng Blood Case!"

As the head of the Sky Eye Department, Fatty felt he had seen through He Li's thoughts.

After all, when it comes to truly important and major cases...

He probably came straight here.

"Where would they go? Just send them a notice to keep a close eye on the case and let him know if there's any trouble?" Thinking this, the head of the Sky Eye Department of the Le City Special Bureau spoke again…

"I heard that he went to Chengdu before and apparently solved the soul energy case there very quickly."

"And he received quite a few honors?"

"Have they tasted success yet?"

"For something this trivial, he actually went to the trouble of using his newly acquired privileges..."

"They're young after all."

"They just love to show off and take credit."

He shook his head, and one of his investigators couldn't help but say, "Minister, this notice doesn't just tell us to send a message if we find anything unusual; it also mentioned that the Dragon Worship Society might..."

"The Dragon Worship Society?" the fat minister interrupted impatiently. "A tiny organization I've never even heard of."

"How much trouble can this kind of organization cause?"

"Just have the two Spirit-level investigators keep a close eye on things."

"Compared to this, there are two more important things right now."

"One of them is a Taoist priest from Qingyang Palace."

"I don't know what they're here for. We'll send some people to keep a close eye on them and see what their purpose is, and also to prevent them from getting into trouble... After all, they are disciples of the Qingyang Palace."

"Something's happened, it's very troublesome."

"Secondly, it's over there near the Buddha statue..."

"The situation is dire. Immediately notify any Spirit-level or higher investigators currently on missions nearby to provide support!"

As he spoke, the fat minister's attention had already shifted to another monitoring screen, and the investigators under his command could not say anything more and just nodded.

Not only in Lecheng, but also in other places, the Special Affairs Bureau saw the messages sent by He Li and his team...

They didn't take it too seriously.

This is why He Li has not received any feedback for a long time.

"What's going on? There's no sound at all?"

After leaving the Tianshui Club and handing the scene over to Yang Jian and the other local investigators, He Li, who had arrived, began to worry after a long period of silence.

"Wait a minute, if the Dragon Lord has already decided to deal with those dragon offspring, the process should be quick..."

"He also knew that someone was investigating the case."

"I don't understand why they already know about my past."

"Based on normal reasoning..."

"Knowing that the longer he drags on, the more likely I am to deal with the other dragon offspring, he will definitely act at full speed to deal with the dragon offspring, which will inevitably attract the attention of other special bureaus."

"But... there's still no news?"

"Could I have guessed wrong?"

He Li thought about it more and more and more and more and more that something was wrong.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Han vaguely guessed that the local Special Bureau might not have taken the matter seriously and hadn't been keeping a close eye on any clues related to the Long Si case, hence the lack of response.

However, before she could even offer a reminder...

Yu Ji suddenly spoke seriously...

"Something's happened in Lecheng!"

"The famous 100-meter-tall Buddha statue in Lecheng..."

"He's alive!!!"

Ok? ? ?
