Los Angeles, in the Secret Service office.

Qin Shifan browsed various news articles online.

"Damn it, these self-media outlets are getting more and more abstract."

The secretary said, "Teacher, these are all prank posts from YouTube. The Thai leadership is probably still in a daze. There have been no official announcements from other countries yet."

"Where are Chen Ye and the others? Are they at the embassy?"

"The plan was changed at the last minute. Instead of going to the embassy, ​​we went directly to the airport. We should be back soon."

"Where's that Muay Thai champion?"

"He came back with us. Chen Ye's idea is to send him to another world and introduce that Thai guy to Wuxiang Temple so he can become a true Buddhist."

Qin Shifan looked surprised. "What do you mean? Send that Thai guy to another world?"

"The Thai guy was an orphan who grew up in a temple, with no family ties. He was very excited when he learned that the Arhat who subdues dragons could send him to the Pure Land!"

"Alright, get everything ready. Once Chen Ye arrives, we'll begin the rescue plan for Men Gun."

The secretary said, "It's all ready. According to Yang Qiming's anchor point theory, the location for teleportation between parallel worlds should be corresponding. Therefore, Chen Ye has abandoned the idea of ​​teleporting directly in Thailand."

Yang Qiming meant that when teleporting between two worlds, the landing point should be the same as the teleportation point. For example, if teleporting within the Special Operations Bureau, the landing point would be Woniu Ridge. If teleporting abroad, the landing point should also be abroad.

He believes that in parallel worlds, the maps are the same.

"It's always better to be safe! Your words remind me that there should be Westerners in that world as well. Given the technological blockade, I wonder what kind of system those Westerners have now, or whether they also possess true qi?"

The secretary nodded seriously: "I don't know. If we follow the course of history, it seems that Westerners came to Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty, and there should have been foreigners there as well..."

Qin Shifan raised his hand to interrupt: "Where's Lao Kui? Ask him."

"Old Kui has food poisoning and is receiving intravenous fluids."

Qin Shifan frowned: "What's going on?"

The secretary took out the test report and replied in a deep voice: "The results just came out from the Physics and Chemistry Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The batch of pills that Lao Kui refined had seriously excessive levels of lead, mercury, and arsenic. Lao Kui has been diagnosed with acute heavy metal poisoning."

In addition, he had chronic gastritis, which caused severe vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. He underwent chelation therapy (lead and mercury removal), acid suppression to protect the stomach, and intravenous fluid replacement. His condition has temporarily stabilized, but he needs to rest in bed for several days.

Qin Shifan looked helpless: "Sigh, where is he?"

"Second floor medical room."

"Let's go take a look."

Qin Shifan: "Tell Hongtao to go to the supermarket outside and buy two boxes of Brain Gold for Lao Kui."

"it is good."

"We can't let Lao Kui keep going like this. If he's still refining pills, let him test them on dogs first. We need to get this done as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll go to the pet market and buy some."

"Forget it, let's not buy dogs, lest we get reported by patriots. Let's buy some sheep instead."

"The teacher is very thoughtful."

Qin Shifan stood up, then suddenly stopped, turned his head and said, "Take the map hanging on the wall with you."

Although the secretary didn't understand why she needed a map, she still did as she was told.

The two arrived at the infirmary on the second floor. Old Kui was lying on the hospital bed, looking exhausted and resigned to his fate, receiving an IV drip.

Two medical staff members nearby were organizing documents. They stood up and greeted him at the same time: "Old Qin."

Qin Shifan hummed in agreement, and the two medical staff members tactfully left, gently closing the door behind them.

"Sect Leader, what's wrong? Oh dear, what's wrong?" Qin Shifan looked surprised and quickly walked to the bedside, holding the old man's hand.

Old Kui sighed, "Little Qin, I've been poisoned. They won't give me the antidote, and they're even pricking me with needles."

Qin Shifan said earnestly, "Do you feel much better after the acupuncture?"

"I feel much better."

"I just asked the doctor, and he said you need to avoid certain foods for the next couple of days. You can't eat anything greasy or raw. Just take good care of yourself."

"Thank you." Old Kui was just mentally ill, not stupid. He knew perfectly well who was good to him.

"I asked Hongtao to buy you two boxes of Brain Gold. It'll give you more energy."

Although Lao Kui didn't understand what Brain Gold was, he could sense that it must be some kind of tonic from this world. He was deeply moved: "What can I say? I'll eat and drink your food for free. In this way, after I ascend to immortality, I will surely bestow titles upon you all."

Qin Shifan said, "Sect Leader, the 'Embrace Simplicity and Nourish Qi Technique' you gave us before is a treasure to us. Logically, we should be the ones thanking you."

"The 'Embracing Simplicity and Nourishing Qi' is the introductory manual of my Weishan School. Have any of those kids made a name for themselves in it?"

"Sigh, not a single one has succeeded. They don't know how to practice it. We even consulted some traditional Chinese medicine doctors and Buddhist and Taoist practitioners, but no one could figure it out. They said that at most, these methods can only have a health-preserving effect."

Old Kui said, "I can't even get past the beginner level, let alone the others. My body is too useless to learn it."

Qin Shifan felt that the pleasantries were over, so he gave his secretary a wink, and the secretary opened a world map and hung it on the wall.

Old Kui squinted as he looked at the map.

Qin Shifan asked, "Sect Leader, take a look, is this map the same as the one on your side?"

Old Kui looked puzzled, sat up straight, pointed to China, Mongolia, Russia, India, and that area, nodded, then shook his head.

"This area is a bit like ours, just divided differently." He pointed to the Russian side and asked with a puzzled look, "That vast area is the far north ice sheet, where, according to legend, there are people with blond hair and blue eyes, as strong as bears."

Qin Shifan's expression turned serious: "We've matched up. This side is called Russia. Are the people over there powerful?"

Old Kui took the IV pole from his secretary and started drawing circles on the map.

"Eight hundred years ago, nine kingdoms coexisted, stretching from the sea in the east to the shifting sands in the west, from the miasma river in the south to the icy plains in the north. Small battles were constant, with periods of fighting followed by periods of rest." The pole stopped in the Central Plains. "Among the nine kingdoms, the Ming and Wei dynasties occupied the rich lands of the Central Plains, using the Yangtze River as their boundary, and eventually they began to fight."

"At first it was just a minor skirmish, and friction between nations is common. But who knew that this fight would turn the world upside down?"

The IV pole moved westward, pointing towards Shaanxi: "The Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to the Yong Dynasty to request passage, promising three cities. The Yong Dynasty immediately agreed and sent 10 elite troops eastward, directly seizing the Ming Dynasty's Hexi region."

"Grandmaster of the Great Yong Dynasty, 'Lord Broken Mountain,' could shatter armor and destroy five hundred pieces with a single punch, making him famous throughout the world. Three cities in Hexi changed hands in a single day, and the Great Wei Dynasty was attacked from both sides. It urgently sent envoys north to seek help from the Great Yan Dynasty..."

"Two border cities of the Ming Dynasty fell overnight, and the morale of the army was thrown into chaos."

"This has completely thrown things into chaos." Old Kui circled the map with his head. "In the south, Da Zhen guarded Jiangnan. Seeing the chaos in the Central Plains, he took advantage of the confusion to send troops to annex the Jiangnan territories of Chu and Qi."

Old Kui circled four places heavily with the IV pole: "After more than ten years of fighting among the nine kingdoms, only four remain: the Great Ming, the Great Yong, the Great Yan, and the Great Zhen."

Qin Shifan frowned: "How can the four kingdoms maintain a balance of power?"

Historically, the tripartite division of power was more common.

The secretary said, "Teacher, could it be because there are certain grandmasters whose individual combat power is too extraordinary, which has led to the formation of a unique social structure in that world?"

"Some analyses make a lot of sense. Are sect leaders and grandmasters all dependent on the imperial court?"

"No, some are attached to the imperial court, some live freely in the martial world, and some even establish their own sects."

"Chen Ye said that reaching the realm of 'true qi manifesting in form' is what makes one a grandmaster, is that right?"

Old Kui nodded. "That's right, cultivating to the point of manifesting true qi is extremely difficult! However, even among grandmasters, there are differences in strength!"

"Every sixty years, the Martial Arts Ranking is revised by the four nations. In this sixty-year period, there were a total of 17 Grandmasters who had achieved the transformation of True Qi into Form. Of these, 3 went to sea to seek immortality, and 6 died."

Qin Shifan smacked his lips: "You just mentioned a grandmaster who could break through the armor of five hundred people with one punch. That's about the power of a small missile, right?"

The secretary thought for a moment: "We have anti-missile tanks!"

At this moment, Hongtao came in carrying two boxes of Brain Gold and said, "Teacher Qin, Chen Ye and the others are back. Both of the Jade Flowers are here and can go over there to rescue Mute Gun at any time."

Qin Shifan stood up and said loudly, "Alright! Have the experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences assemble and bring out Chen Ye's tactical backpack!"

Old Kui hurriedly said, "You must let Chen Ye go to Weishan to see my physical body!"
