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

The dragon and elephant's abilities were useless against He Li.

It cannot control He Li.

They were even powerless to resist He Li.

Taking it down, killing it, and eating it is much easier than He Li dealing with the Bloodline Dragon Butterfly in Ba City, after all, it took a lot of effort to deal with the Bloodline Dragon Butterfly back then.

Now, this dragon-elephant was devoured by He Li in just a short time, leaving no trace of its remains.

Although he already knew about He Li eating strange things.

But those around them saw it with their own eyes every time...

I still feel a little terrified.

Especially now that they have learned that He Li may not be human at all, his act of eating monsters is even more terrifying in their eyes.

However, He Li himself did not care about this.

He only cares about his new abilities...

[Target to be devoured: Great Soul Dragon Elephant]

[Status: Infancy]

[Acquired Ability: Soul Suppressing Domain]

Soul-Suppressing Domain: A domain within the heart can suppress, summon, absorb, and drive away countless souls...

Soul-Suppressing Domain? Is this the power of the Dragon Elephant?

"This explanation is quite helpful."

"Aside from the Soul Suppression Techniques used by the Dragon and Elephant, after activating the Soul Suppression Domain, one should also be able to see, and even summon and control, the souls of creatures within a certain radius centered on oneself..."

He Li stroked his chin, deep in thought.

The specific effective range of the Soul Suppressing Domain needs to be tested.

It also has effects such as summoning spirits and exorcising spirits.

After thinking for a moment, He Li looked at Qin Yuan's corpse and then tentatively activated the Soul Suppressing Domain ability...

Buzz! Suddenly, He Li noticed that the world within a hundred-meter radius around him had become a bit strange. He saw some blurry, overlapping shadows on many plants.

That must be the soul.

Plants also have souls.

But... Qin Yuan doesn't seem to have it?

No, it should be that it dissipated.

After all, he was already dead, and the souls of the others around him were clearly visible.

What made He Li a little suspicious was that he discovered something growing on Yu Ji's soul, but because the soul was blurry, he couldn't see clearly what it was.

It just felt like a sapling or something.

As for summoning spirits and exorcising spirits...

These two are not very useful for now.

Because the act of summoning a soul involves summoning a soul without a physical body, in other words, the soul of a dead person.

The problem is that normally, like Qin Yuan, his soul simply dissipates after death and there's no way to summon it. Soul exorcism and soul gathering are about collecting and controlling the summoned soul.

If you can't recruit them, you can't drive them away.

Unless there are beings in this world with extremely strong souls.

That kind of being's soul does not immediately dissipate after death.

If you encounter a suitable opportunity, you can recruit them.

"Although the effects of summoning or exorcising spirits are not needed, the effect of suppressing spirits is already very useful."

"The most important thing is that you can see the soul."

"With this ability, no matter how strange a monster is disguised as a human, it will never be able to fool me. After all, they can only change their appearance by wearing human skin, but they cannot change their soul."

The experiment ended, and He Li smiled with satisfaction.

Then, he looked at Yu Ji and the others.

"Let's go. Although Qin Yuan has dealt with it, it seems there are still many secrets hidden here."

"After all, that old bald monk keeps monsters here."

"There might be something hidden here."

"Let's look further ahead!"

He said that and started walking forward.

Upon seeing this, Yu Ji and the other two quickly followed.

When Ye Wenyu and the others came to their senses, they did not follow He Li this time. Firstly, they had to deal with Zhu Ming and the others who were seriously injured or even dead.

Secondly, they don't know anything about He Li's situation, and they are now somewhat afraid and dare not get close to him again.

They had no choice but to finish up...

Meanwhile, they reported what had happened here.

Meanwhile, He Li and his group continued along the dimly lit passage ahead, perhaps because this place, which had served as Qin Yuan's hideout, had already been cleared out.

So they didn't encounter any other creatures along the way.

There were no monsters or wild beasts.

Of course, don't count on spiritual plants or anything like that.

Qin Yuan had already taken those things!

It wasn't until half an hour into their journey that the group made a discovery in the deepest valley of the ruins...

"What...is that?"

Standing at the entrance to the dimly lit underground valley, Zhao Hu stared at the pit in the center of the valley in the distance, which was sunken and faintly emitted a purplish-gray mist and smelled of blood.

Neither He Li nor Yu Ji responded.

As you approach the pit and look down, you see countless blood-red totems scattered throughout it...

He Li had seen those blood totems carved in the pits on the monstrous Iron-Headed Locust, which had been created by Shang Qiuyun and had been corrupted by Gu, in the Blue Mountain Cave.

Of course, the totems here are somewhat different.

However, they are very similar overall.

And just as He Li was taking a look.

Yu Ji, standing nearby, blurted out, "The Gu Soul Pool!"

"Gu Soul Pool?" He Li turned his head upon hearing this, and Yu Ji nodded: "It's also a place specifically for raising and refining Gu, but it's much more advanced than the one Shang Qiuyun had in the Blue Mountain Cave."

"But such things only exist in legends."

"Because there was no spiritual energy before."

"No one has ever seen a soul."

"Even if spiritual energy appears... the soul is something that cannot be seen, touched, or contained."

"Therefore, the Gu Soul Pool cannot be created."

At this point, Yu Ji became somewhat suspicious.

"This should be a modified Gu Soul Pool."

"As for its function... it can't capture souls, but it has something that can collect soul energy. The mist here should be the soul energy that hasn't completely dissipated."

"Qin Yuan must have hatched the dragon-elephant here and raised it to adulthood... Hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Ji looked surprised and doubtful.

He Li asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"There's something inside!" Yu Ji responded.

She pointed to the bottom of the pit.

"Things?" He Li looked over suspiciously.

But... we found nothing!

Upon seeing this, Yu Ji said, "My cultivation of the Hundred Qi Scripture makes me more sensitive to certain things."

"There's definitely something down there!"

"I'll go down and take a look!" Seeing her so certain, He Xiang thought for a moment and used his spiritual sense to slowly float down. After floating three or five zhang, he could indeed vaguely see something.

A puddle of water, a puddle of gray water!

That thing had a subtle attraction for He Li.

"What's this? Try it!"

Landing by the water, relying on his strong body and the fact that he was not afraid of poisoning from practicing the "Great Nuo Ode"...

He reached out, dipped his finger in the water, and put it in his mouth...

hiss! ! !

As He Li swallowed the gray water glass on his fingers, a chilling aura shot straight to the top of his head, making him shiver and instantly feel much more alert.

What surprised He Li even more was that he found his senses seemed to have become more acute all of a sudden.

This is definitely not an illusion.

"baby!!!"

In an instant, He Li made a judgment.

Without a second thought, he beamed and waved his hand, using his spiritual power to sweep up all the water and soil and take them away. When they returned to the ground, Yu Ji and the others couldn't help but crowd around him.

"What did you bring? A bunch of mud???"

Yu Ji was somewhat suspicious.

He Li chuckled and shook his head: "Mud?"

"This is a treasure! I just touched some of the gray liquid in here and I immediately felt refreshed."

"My senses have become stronger."

"This is definitely a great product!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji finally took the pile of mud seriously and approached it for a closer look. He exclaimed with delight, "This stuff...it feels like the legendary 'Soul Poison'!"

"Soul-Reaping Water? What's that?" He Li asked, puzzled.

Yu Ji explained, "I've heard that these are rare and precious materials that only condense in places where many living beings die and where spiritual energy is abundant. Drinking them can strengthen one's soul."

"At the same time, it enhances perception and mental strength."

"This thing is very important to experts above the Profound Knowledge Realm."

"Because of their spiritual awareness, they need to consume these rare and precious herbs to increase it."

"Taking this out would be worth at least tens of thousands of merit points!"

Tens of thousands of merits?

He Li's face lit up with a wide smile upon hearing this.

"So valuable? Hehehe, I wonder if Qin Yuan has discovered this treasure."

He couldn't help but speak up.

Yu Ji shrugged: "Then they definitely didn't find it."

"If we'd found out, would it even be our turn?"

She added, "Hurry up and put it away. If those investigators from Rongcheng see this, they might come over and ask us to share it with them."

"Alright!" Since He Li had a spatial ring anyway, he casually took away the pool of Yin Soul Water.

Just as they were beaming and preparing to leave...

The Rongcheng Special Bureau was in an uproar over the news coming back about He Li, Qin Yuan, Long Xiang, and others, especially He Li's previous massacre of Tang Li at the gate...

And the possibility that he might be a monster...

These two incidents prompted many high-ranking officials from the Rongcheng Special Affairs Bureau to express their opinions about him...
