This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 265 A Worldview Repeatedly Tortured
A few days later, at the former Imperial Observatory building, Kuang Wenlan leaned on the railing, looking down while anxiously awaiting news.

The Xuan Tian Yi that originally stood in the center of the ancient building was gone. At this moment, Kuang Wenlan couldn't help but recall the scene when Master Zhuang and the others left a few days ago.

The enormous Xuan Tian Yi was lifted up by Master Zhuang with one hand and soared into the sky from the original circular open space of the ancient building, which had been exposed after the removal of the upper canopy, before disappearing into the wind and clouds.

I never imagined such a scene would happen before.

The wind made Kuang Wenlan's hair sway constantly. Because the glass curtain wall was removed, the ancient building has largely been restored to its original ancient style. While air exchange is convenient, the air conditioning effect is limited to the office.

Below, someone was gesturing about the dimensions. In the future, a model of the Xuan Tian Yi made of lightweight materials will be placed here to fill the space. However, before that, the protective curtain wall of the ancient building will have to remain empty for a while.

A series of footsteps approached, and Kuang Wenlan looked to her side, a smile appearing on her face.

Upon seeing Kuang Wenlan's expression, the visitor couldn't help but ask a question.

"You seem to know the result, Dr. Kuang. You're a heavyweight in the bureau!"

Kuang Wenlan's smile remained unchanged.

"I do believe I can be of some use, but someone like me is not irreplaceable. Even some of my students can play a similar role! On the contrary, the higher-ups need people of real importance to go to ancient times, so my application will definitely not be rejected!"

The visitor smiled helplessly and handed over the documents hidden behind his back.

"You guessed right, your application has been approved. The list and information will be officially submitted to Hidden Immortal Valley. It all depends on whether they approve it or not."

Kuang Wenlan reached out and took the document, let out a slight sigh of relief, shook her head, and responded with a single sentence.

"I'm not guessing, I'm speculating. There's a fundamental difference between the two. Besides, Hidden Immortal Valley will definitely agree, or they might double-check the other people on the list, but they certainly won't do that with me!"

"Why? Can you even fathom the mind of an immortal?"

Kuang Wenlan's expression calmed down a bit, but still carried a hint of confidence.

"This is not speculation. You've forgotten an important thing. Those who achieve immortality can observe qi and see people's hearts, but that does have certain limitations. However, the one I faced that day was a Confucian immortal!"

"Confucian Immortal, Master Zhuang must have seen me and knows that everything I've done is done with utmost sincerity!"

The newcomer was stunned for a moment, and seemed to take a while to react. Then he saw Kuang Wenlan looking at him.

"So when you're with them, you'd better be respectful and sincere. Even if you have some doubts about something, it's best to ask directly. Dr. Li does that, for example. Of course, these are just personal suggestions, and you don't have to take them!"

"Alright, I'm going to get ready now. I'm sure I'll receive news about the acclimatization training soon."

Before long, a list was in Liu Hongyu's hands. He had been staying in Zhonghai City and had not returned to Yinxian Valley for the time being.

Looking at the list in his hand, Liu Hongyu simply checked each name against the corresponding information, did a quick calculation, and called back to say that there were no problems.

Given sufficient information, Liu Hongyu, with his cultivation level, could easily identify a person through divination.

As for the possibility of falsifying information, it is actually more difficult to forge a birth chart and past experiences, and to make the cause and effect match in the calculation, than to directly obtain real information.

That evening, Kuang Wenlan and many others appeared at a sports stadium; their schedule had already been released.

Of course, in addition to Kuang Wenlan and some of the existing staff of the Bureau of Investigation, there are many people who have just been selected, and some of them have not even had time to learn a lot of classified information.

At this moment, there are some benches in the venue, and dozens of people are sitting there, all of them sitting very upright.

As Kuang Wenlan and her entourage approached, carrying documents, they observed the group. The group also noticed her, especially since she was dressed in ancient women's clothing.

Looking at the group of dozens of people, many of whom were still wearing military uniforms and training gear, Kuang Wenlan smiled. She knew these people must be absolute elites in the military. "Comrades, there's no need to be nervous. Some of you are my colleagues, so what I'm about to say is mainly for the new colleagues!"

colleague?

Many people frowned slightly. They had only received orders to carry out a secret mission, so why were they being addressed as "colleague"? Was it necessary for the mission?
The reason for not fully disclosing this information is that the Bureau of Investigation also has a selection process; it's not a matter of just anyone coming here and being able to stay.

As the main person in charge of this matter, Kuang Wenlan undoubtedly has the power to make the selection decision.

"I know many of you have doubts, but I'm telling you now, from this moment on, you are agents of the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations!"

I'll have to go through another selection process? No way!
Being selected for the list by the military and relevant units is enough to demonstrate their excellence. Being approved by Hidden Immortal Valley also shows that their character and mental state are not a problem. So why would I bother to select them again?

We need to hurry!

Kuang Wenlan was really looking forward to setting off as soon as possible!
Because of Kuang Wenlan's words, many people present looked puzzled, but quickly calmed down.

"I know you have many questions, but I won't answer them now. My requirement is that you learn how to dress in ancient costumes and ancient etiquette within a week, and adapt to the relevant training. Professional etiquette instructors will provide you with training."

"If you are eliminated in this process, you will be immediately sent back to your original unit, and you don't need to know what happens after that. If you pass, you will naturally have more privileges. Does anyone have any questions?"

Everyone remained silent, while Kuang Wenlan smiled.

"Okay! Let's get started. Distribute the materials!"

As the main person in charge, Kuang Wenlan is responsible for all personnel, so she needs to participate in their training from beginning to end.

When the materials were distributed, many people had already opened them and started reading, while Kuang Wenlan was describing the situation.

"First, let's establish an assumption: you, as an individual among all of you, are not a modern person, but an ordinary person living in ancient times. Well, some of you may have slightly different backgrounds, but the general backgrounds are similar!"

"You live in a rather chaotic era. You possess some skills and have a basic understanding of martial arts. To live in such an era, you need to pay attention to the following points."

Kuang Wenlan described a lot of information without looking at the materials, and her requirement was that everyone could understand the background information and memorize the key points.

Many people are lamenting in their hearts that they would rather endure the hardships of military training than face this.

But when Kuang asked Lan at the end, "Is there a problem?" almost everyone reflexively replied, "No problem."

At the end of August in the Great Yan calendar, the internal training of the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations began.

In early September, the initial training ended, and the next day they were transferred to Tianqing Palace in the Northwest for another week of training, during which they learned about the true mission background.

To increase their persuasiveness, the Taoist priests of Tianqing Palace also displayed some magical abilities.

Many people in Kuang Wenlan's group began to have their original values ​​shattered.
Another week passed, and Kuang Wenlan and many others from her group took military transport to Jingzhou Airport, and then transferred to a military helicopter to reach the Shennongjia Nature Reserve.

The "forest protection" forces outside the protected area today are vastly different from what they used to be.

A group of apprehensive people finally arrived at Hidden Immortal Valley and saw the legendary true immortal grotto, further shattering their original worldviews.

After a period of training and living in Hidden Immortal Valley, they witnessed even more wonders.
It can be said that, apart from Kuang Wenlan and a few others, most of the agents she brought out this time went through a process of having their values ​​repeatedly shaken, shattered, and reshaped during this period.

Many people, when they first received the mission order, did think it must be an extraordinary classified mission because the level of secrecy was too high, but they never imagined it would be such a big secret.
