My supernatural profession is too unique.

Inside the crematorium dormitory.

"Indeed, there were other accomplices."

Li Ling looked at the image on his phone screen and thought to himself.

This is surveillance footage he obtained from the port security department.

The video recorded the view of the main road outside Warehouse No. 6.

However, only footage from the last ten days is available.

Moreover, the other party was on guard, always entering and leaving the warehouse at night, wearing sunglasses and masks, and deliberately walking along dark passages.

In addition, due to the limited image resolution, it was impossible to discern the person's specific details.

"However, at least we now know that there are still suspects."

"This person might be the mastermind behind setting up the Earthly Fiend Blood Corpse Array."

Li Ling secretly made his own guesses.

After all, judging from the video, this person spent more time in Warehouse No. 6 than Bai Zhongkui.

However, these are not matters for him to concern himself with.

Review the video recordings, prepare a case report, and leave the rest to your superiors.

After turning off the recording, Li Ling stretched.

Only now do I realize I'm a little hungry.

I glanced at my mechanical watch; it was already 8:30 PM.

"Let's get something to fill our stomachs first."

Li Ling walked towards the small refrigerator.

Take out two chicken drumsticks and a packet of instant noodles.

I went out onto the balcony, washed the chicken legs, put them in an iron pot, and poured in water.

After returning inside, I sat down on the floor.

With a thought, a flash of flame appeared on his hand.

The fire from the stove gathered and fell into the iron pot, beginning to cook the food.

Today, my spiritual energy is almost completely depleted.

Since I don't have any spirit crystals on hand, I can only rely on [smoke from the stove] to get some spiritual food to replenish my spiritual power.

"I'll move tomorrow at noon. The new dormitory has spiritual energy, which will help me recover my cultivation level as soon as possible."

Looking at the stove fire, Li Ling pondered.

I originally planned to move tonight, but after finishing the port business, it was almost 8 o'clock when I got back.

We'll have to move it tomorrow.

"Oh right, there are two more Vitality Pills."

Li Lingxuan immediately took out the pill bottle from his storage bag.

These are two substandard Vitality Pills that Yang Wenping gave me at noon.

Although it's a defective product, it can still restore some of the spiritual energy within the body.

The excessive consumption of his spiritual energy made him feel extremely insecure.

He immediately opened the elixir bottle and poured out the elixir.

"This pill is quite potent."

Looking at the two thumb-sized black Yuan Qi Pills in his hand, Li Ling's face lit up with joy.

The elixir appeared somewhat dull and lackluster.

Under the observation of the "Eye of the Stove Official," he could sense that the medicinal power within was still quite abundant.

It is roughly two-thirds of the finished Vitality Pill.

However, it doesn't seem to be pure enough.

"This is?"

At this moment, wisps of smoke from the stove actually flowed into the pill in my hand.

Upon seeing this, Li Ling looked surprised. "Could it be that [Smoke from the Stove] can enhance elixirs?"

With that in mind, Li Ling decisively placed one of them on the stove fire.

Zizi!

Instantly, the blue smoke spreading from the stove fire quickly merged into the Yuanqi Pill.

"efficient!"

Seeing this effect, Li Ling's hands trembled slightly, unable to contain his excitement.

As the smoke from the stove was inhaled, the surface of the Vitality Pill began to change, gaining a bright luster and even a bony feel.

It is vastly different from the other one.

Li Ling then placed the other Qi Pill into the stove fire.

After several minutes of this process, the chicken legs and instant noodles in the iron pot were fully cooked.

The pills in his hand were already saturated and no longer absorbed the smoke from the stove.

Li Ling then put away the fire in the stove.

At this moment, the two pills in his hand were quite different.

Its surface has a bright black luster, is crystal clear, and exudes a rich fragrance.

After inhaling just a little, Li Ling felt a surge of energy.

"This change seems to be much better than ordinary Qi-building pills."

A glint flashed in Li Ling's eyes.

The Vitality Pill in his hand actually looked somewhat similar to a high-quality Vitality Pill.

The results completely exceeded his expectations.

Then, he discovered a new use for the "smoke from the stove fire".

"I'll exchange for a few more inferior pills tomorrow and give it a try."

Li Ling pondered to himself.

[Kitchen Official/Police Officer] Favorability +1 (I admire your innovative spirit)

A line of text floated across the panel.

Li Ling glanced at it, didn't think much of it, and swallowed a Qi-building pill in his hand.

The Vitality Pill has a sweet and fragrant taste with a slight bitterness.

Li Ling swallowed it directly.

He then circulated his cultivation technique and began to refine and absorb the medicinal power.

As he activated the incantation, the image of the Kitchen God appeared within his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, now that the statue is no longer surrounded by spiritual energy, it appears dim and lacks its original radiant and divine aura.

When I first comprehended the "Kitchen God's Furnace Opening Method," there was also a cultivation method for condensing and restoring divine images.

With the blessing of the divine statue, not only is combat power enhanced, but cultivation speed also increases.

He then began to chant the incantation.

It mainly consists of profound and mysterious rituals such as "consecration" and "secret incantation".

As the sound became smoother, the medicinal power within his body was rapidly refined, and his body was accompanied by flashes of crimson light.

The image of the Kitchen God within the sea of ​​consciousness gradually brightened.

A glimmer of spiritual light flashed.

It took Li Ling nearly an hour to completely refine the two Yuan Qi Pills.

"It's restored about 70% of its original strength. This improved Vitality Pill is really effective."

"In addition, a trace of spirituality has been restored to the statue."

Feeling the condition within his body, a smile appeared on Li Ling's face.

If I exchange two more inferior Vitality Pills tomorrow, I will be able to fully recover.

Just then, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold rushing out from his sea of ​​consciousness.

Suddenly, his body felt a chill.

It felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave.

"What the hell is this?"

He was startled; the Kitchen God statue belonged to the fire element, so this situation was impossible.

He introspected his inner sea of ​​consciousness.

A cloud of black mist, dark and deep, contained what appeared to be a zombie, spewing black mist from its mouth.

"A zombie statue!"

Upon seeing this, Li Ling was startled.

He understood that this was a land formation that had materialized after the [Corpse Collector]'s favorability rating had increased.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a zombie statue.

"If someone were to possess you like an earth spirit, wouldn't you end up looking like a zombie?"

Li Ling was startled.

Fortunately, he mainly cultivates fire-attribute techniques, focusing on the image of the Kitchen God.

He possessed no Yin Sha magic power and could not form any combat ability.

But at that moment, a chilling aura suddenly gathered around him, as if some kind of constraint within his body had been broken.

"It's a Yin meridian!"

Li Ling's eyes flashed.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he looked inward.

A brand new meridian has opened up, exuding a chilling aura, and is rapidly absorbing and transforming the spiritual energy within the body into chilling magical power.

Having gained experience from opening the fire vein of the stove official, Li Ling knew that this was a vein opened up by the [corpse collector].

Like the Kitchen God's spiritual vein, he can absorb spiritual energy through this earth vein and transform it into his own magical power.

It's just that what's condensed is the power of the Earthly Fiends.

"this?"

Feeling the changes within his body, Li Ling couldn't help but feel uneasy.

I'm a police officer, how come I'm involved in gathering this earth vein?

It should be noted that these zombie-like landforms are almost always activated by demonic or evil cultivators.

But what's done is done, and he has no choice in the matter.

From now on, I must be careful and not let others discover the ley lines on my body.
