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

"You...successfully?"

Seeing that He Li's spiritual energy was gradually dissipating.

I felt his body temperature begin to return to normal...

Yu Ji couldn't help but ask.

He Li, regaining his senses upon hearing this, was somewhat puzzled: "Isn't this kind of treasure supposed to allow one to condense the Earth Core Fire Aperture simply by drinking it? What do you mean by 'successful'? How could something so inevitable fail?"

"Huh?" Yu Ji's lips moved slightly upon hearing this.

She wanted to say that this was not necessarily the case.

If taken rashly without the corresponding medication, the agglomeration process will most likely fail.

Not only will it fail, but it could also harm your health.

But seeing that He Li not only succeeded, but also acted as if it were his due, Yu Ji swallowed her words and didn't say them. At this moment, He Li suddenly realized...

Yu Ji is a little different.

In He Li's memory, Yu Ji seemed to neither like to wear makeup nor dress herself up.

Her hair has always been naturally loose.

But now, she seems to be...

He Li glanced at the hair clip on her head a couple more times.

It was a black and white bird hair clip, made with a unique logo like a tourist souvenir, but He Li didn't pay much attention and just casually remarked, "It's pretty!"

He then began to carefully sense the fire that had gathered in his heart.

When one's own spiritual energy circulates to the vicinity...

He Li could clearly sense...

It seemed that the heat and fire in his body were being absorbed by the spiritual energy through the Earth's core fire aperture, making him feel refreshed and comfortable.

What delighted He Li even more was that when he intentionally circulated his spiritual energy to stimulate the Earth's core fire aperture...

Accompanied by the burst of heat energy within the spiritual aperture...

His spiritual energy, mixed with hot energy, became even more violent.

His power thus increased.

He felt like he had inexhaustible energy!

"This spiritual aperture is indeed quite remarkable!"

Upon discovering the wondrous uses of the Earth's Core Fire Aperture, He Li was overjoyed, even increasing his speed by using his spiritual sense. Meanwhile, Yu Ji, who had just heard He Li praising him…

Her beautiful eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.

Meanwhile, in Kyoto...

"So? Did you see He Li?"

Inside the Kyoto Special Bureau, Jiang Qingtong, who had just been teleported back, was summoned for questioning by Zheng Guo and others.

Hearing his question, Jiang Qingtong nodded seriously: "Yes, and he's even more outrageous than we expected... I can't even determine the specific level of his supernatural powers."

Huh? Upon hearing this, Zheng Guo and the others' eyelids twitched.

"Can't get a reading? Are you sure?"

Zheng Guo couldn't help but ask.

He knew perfectly well that Jiang Qingtong's supernatural abilities were so powerful that even the Heavenly Fortune Supernatural Ability could clearly detect them.

As a result, He Li's method no longer works.

"Yes!" Jiang Qingtong continued, "I can only vaguely see that his supernatural power is to become stronger by eating monsters, but... I feel like it has other effects as well."

"Then there's his other situation. First of all, there's no doubt that he's human."

"It's true that he has golden light around him!"

"However, my panel displays his attributes..."

"There's one attribute that no one else possesses!"

Jiang Qingtong's expression grew increasingly serious.

Zheng Guo and the others frowned and pressed further, "An extra special attribute that none of them have?"

"What attribute is it?"

"Divinity!" Jiang Qingtong uttered two words.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Guo and the others' pupils constricted sharply.

The office quieted down.

Divinity... such an ethereal attribute, yet it actually appeared in a mortal?

"It seems Li Qing was right!"

After a long silence, Zheng Guo spoke.

The others nodded slightly, their eyes exchanging glances as if they had made a tacit decision. At this moment, Jiang Qingtong said, "He Li has many problems."

"I can't see through him at all."

"So I got his contact information; maybe I can get to know him better if we keep in touch..."

Hearing her say this with a very serious expression...

Zheng Guo and the others exchanged glances and smiled.

What does it mean to understand something after getting to know it better? This girl is really calculating, does she really think we old folks who have lived for decades can't see through her?

However, this is a matter for young people...

Let them go on their own.

Thinking this, Zheng Guo and the others shook their heads and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"If you don't have anything, then you can go out now!"

"And another thing!" Jiang Qingtong quickly said, "I've already told him about the theft of the divine bird gold foil, and asked him to help investigate it while he's investigating the case."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Guo remained expressionless.

"Reason?" he asked only.

Jiang Qingtong responded, "Besides seeing He Li this time, I also saw his partner Yu Ji."

"That girl... there's something wrong with her!"

"She's probably from one of the five tribes of Shu Prefecture."

"I reckon she's not someone of low status. Judging from the cultivation techniques she practices, they're not something ordinary members of the five departments of Shu Prefecture could access. How can He Li have her as a partner to investigate the gold foil case..."

"The stolen gold leaf might actually be found."

Oh? Zheng Guo was slightly surprised to hear this.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Compared to the unimportant Yu Ji, He Li, who possesses divinity, is the person they care about most.

So Zheng Guo simply nodded and waved Jiang Qingtong away, then resumed his discussion with the others present regarding He Li. And while they were discussing He Li…

He Li has also arrived at Emei.

As they landed in the mountains, Yu Ji began to talk about the Holy Water Temple...

"Shengshui Temple is a temple located at the foot of Mount Emei."

"They live inside mostly nuns."

"That place belongs to a branch temple of Emei Mountain."

"Master Mingxuan is the abbess there. If there are problems with Master Mingxuan and her Holy Water Nunnery, I think... many more members of the Emei Sect, and even the higher-ups, must also have problems."

Yu Ji said this.

He Li nodded upon hearing this, then asked with a hint of curiosity, "Are there many nuns on Mount Emei?"

"Is the sect leader also a nun?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing He Li's question, Yu Ji frowned and retorted, "Where did you hear such outrageous news? The Emei Sect is a thousand-year-old sect, and the sect leader has always been a man."

"There are nuns, but not many."

"There are only a few nunneries under the jurisdiction of Emei."

"Huh?" He Li chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this.

He had read martial arts novels from his previous life and heard that Emei was mostly inhabited by nuns.

But reality was completely different...

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard Zhao Hu beside him point to the temple on the mountain ahead and say, "Brother Li, look... that should be the so-called Holy Water Temple, right?"

"Something feels off."

"Look at the people coming out of there..."

"I feel like something's off!"

Hmm? Hearing Zhao Hu's words, He Li looked up and gazed at the temple in front of him, where there were many people coming and going.

Among those coming and going, many people behaved strangely, jumping around or standing still with their bodies trembling, looking just like some people who were high on food.

Zhou Xin saw what those people looked like...

She couldn't help but say, "Judging from their appearance, could they be monsters that have just changed into human skin and are now familiar with something strange?" As she said this, she smiled and realized that she was overthinking it.

"Oh, I guess I'm overthinking it."

"No matter how you look at it, there aren't that many weird things."

"Besides, these people are openly here... they shouldn't be monsters, right?"

"Even if a monster is disguised, it still needs to hide, right?"

"Right? You guys say..."

She looked at the other people as she spoke.

It seems they want to gain He Li's and their approval.

However, it would have been better if she hadn't looked. Once she did, she noticed that He Li and Yu Ji, who had been smiling, as well as Zhao Hu, had all frowned and looked serious, as if they had discovered something big.

Seeing this, Zhou Xin's heart skipped a beat...

Yu Ji's voice trembled as he spoke.

"They...they seem to..."

"Nine out of ten are...weird!!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu, who had already sensed something was amiss, tensed up and stared intently at the people inside the Holy Water Temple. Zhou Xin's expression also changed slightly, and she was already preparing to unleash her supernatural powers.

What reason could there be? I feared nothing and laughed instead.

"Are 90% of people weirdos?"

"Ninety percent of them are ghosts and monsters, that's great! That's fantastic!"

"If 90% of them are monsters, then I can... eat them to my heart's content!!!"

His smile gradually turned cruel and sinister.

His figure transformed into a whirlwind and rushed into the Holy Water Temple in an instant. Of course, his high-profile actions also attracted the attention of the surrounding monsters.

A strange woman dressed as a nun frowned and coldly reprimanded He Li as soon as she saw him enter...

"Who are you? Who gave you permission to come in...?"

puff! ! !

Before she could finish speaking, He Li grinned maliciously and strode forward, wielding his hand like a knife, viciously plunging it into the body of the strangely disguised nun, then yanking it out sharply…

Pfft!!!

Suddenly, a figure, neither human nor inhuman, filled with pain and fear, was disemboweled by He Li and dragged directly from the nun's skin, scattering blood all over the ground...

The other strange creatures around were all dumbfounded.

He Li, carrying the strange creature, looked around...

"Hehehe~ I've come to collect yours!!!"
