Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 115 How could there possibly be a rare pill in the human world?
Blah blah blah...

It was pouring rain outside both meeting rooms.

Both meeting rooms fell into the same silence.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they were hearing this for the first time.

"Qidan?"

"What it is?"

Everyone at Pulin Bookstore turned their attention to the television screen and to the Lingtou Office's meeting room.

Everyone in the Lingnan Investment Office turned their attention to the person at the end of the conference table, to Hu Juan.

Chen Xie didn't know what "Qidan" was, but he vaguely sensed that the Hu family seemed to have found a very tricky angle...

Sure enough, Hu Juan began to explain.

"In the celestial realm, the Supreme Lord once issued a decree."

"It is said that all spiritual energy must be used to refine elixirs, otherwise one has gone astray."

"And all elixirs must be used to increase one's cultivation level; otherwise, they will be considered 'deviant pills'."

"Refining the Qi Dan is a rebellious act that violates the Supreme Decree. Once discovered, it will surely be destroyed and its soul scattered, never to be redeemed again."

“My ancestor reminded us that alchemists in the mortal world, without guidance or supervision, may go astray.”

Hu Juan's words ended there.

But everyone present listened with their eyes shining!
A fork in the road?

Qidan?

The Supreme Decree?

Although I don't know why the Supreme Lord issued this decree, it is truly wonderful!
The director of the spiritual investment office spoke first.

"From what I understand, alchemists, imperial censors, and those in the Thunder Pool are highly technical professions that require a lot of talent. They don't have many disciples from immortal families, so they may really lack guidance and supervision."

What he said makes some sense... There are already very few people in the mortal world with alchemy qualifications, and it is even more difficult to find those with immortal bloodlines among them. Therefore, this path has basically no family bloodline connection with the immortal realm.

Those who become immortals through the clan route either have no other official positions or have a part-time job like divine blood or ghost messenger that doesn't require talent and can be done by anyone.

The director of Pulin Bookstore also relaxed his brow.

"The curtain of this era has only just been drawn open a crack."

"The number of celestial officials in the mortal realm is very small, and their ranks are not high."

"The celestial officials in the mortal realm have just learned how to gather spiritual energy and increase their cultivation."

"Many things are in their infancy, they are just beginning."

"During this period, some seemingly insignificant changes may sow the seeds for the future and influence the overall situation for decades or even centuries to come."

"Since the Supreme Lord has issued a decree, and since the Hu family patriarch has reminded us of the 'Qidan' matter, we must take it seriously!"

"We must never let a moment of carelessness today sow the seeds of future disaster."

In the conference rooms of Pulin Bookstore and Lingtou Office, everyone was impressed by these words and applauded enthusiastically!
But then the female bureau chief, Yan Sumin, continued to speak.

"In that case, let's have our Pulin Bookstore take the lead and work with the brothers from the Ling Tou Office to form a Qi Dan investigation team to find out as soon as possible whether the Non-Natural Department actually produces Qi Dan."

"how?"

Her proposal was unanimously approved.

Chen Xie watched from the sidelines, seeing things develop so rapidly that he hadn't anticipated it.

If you don't use spiritual energy for alchemy, what else can you do with it?
This so-called "Qidan" is something that no one in the mortal world has ever even heard of, let alone refined!
How could such an obscure concept be forcibly dug out of the dusty archives by the Hu family and used as a pretext by people from Pulin Bookstore and Ling Tou Office to investigate the Non-Natural Department and relieve the Immortal Lord's worries?
How evil!

Director Yan Sumin has already begun mobilizing troops.

"...Section Chief Hu Juan from the Ling Tou Office requests that you serve as an advisor to the investigation team."

"Deputy Director Li Huaiyin, please come and serve as the deputy leader of the investigation team."

Those who were called upon readily agreed without any hesitation.

"Deputy Director Chen Xie, our investigation team needs a leader with considerable influence."

"You've just joined the bureau, and your colleagues haven't yet seen your work capabilities."

"This responsibility is entrusted to you, how about it?" Chen Xie was stunned, looked at Yan Sumin, and was extremely unwilling to get involved in this mess!

He was also extremely confused as to why this mess had fallen on his head.
But if he refuses, he will likely find it difficult to maintain his position at Pulin Bookstore.

He gave an awkward smile, nodded stiffly, and squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth.

"it is good……"

……

Blah blah blah...

The sound of heavy rain entered the black, giant cloud cabin.

Wu Yun lay on the bed, with a dozen minks nestled beside him, watching the bedtime news with him.

Mink leaned against the boss.

Mink huddled in the boss's arms.

Each mink tried to get as close to the owner as possible, squinting its eyes, clearly enjoying itself.

Wu Yun casually patted the mink's pointed head and saw that the television opposite the bed was broadcasting good news.

"...Recently, our department has investigated and dealt with multiple cases of crimes involving immortality in various parts of the country, killing 22 criminals involved in such crimes and arresting 30 suspects..."

"The Non-Natural Department is quite decisive."

"We just raised the cultivation level of the celestial officials, and they immediately set out to attack all over the country."

The difference between having spiritual cultivation and not having it is like heaven and earth.

An official celestial official with an average of five years of cultivation can easily defeat a free-spirited celestial official with an average of zero years of cultivation.

"...Recently, several individuals skilled in magical arts have voluntarily registered with the local Bureau of Non-Natural Arts and applied for official positions. Let's take a look at an interview..."

What appeared on the screen was Wu Dongqi's large face.

"Hello everyone, I am Wu Dongqi, a newly promoted immortal sorcerer from Donghu City..."

Wu Yun was quite surprised.

"Has this guy also abandoned the darkness and embraced the light?"

Among the elite group of wealthy second-generation individuals, Wu Dongqi is a rather peculiar figure.

His parents divorced and both remarried.

His parents were both well-off; they bought him a big house and a luxury car, and left him savings and a trust account.

But his parents were both very busy and never had time to take care of him.

According to him, his parents haven't even called him for many years.

Perhaps because he was emotionally empty, this guy became obsessed with gossip and liked to share all sorts of rumors at a high intensity.

Now that I've joined the Bureau of Non-Natural Affairs, have a proper job, and am even being interviewed as a role model, things are finally looking up.

As Wu Yun was sighing, he saw Diao Zhuazhua and Diao Yaya dart off the bed and quickly climb up the giant tree to the outside of the giant cloud cabin.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

"Ouch!"

Wu Yun was puzzled.

"What have you been doing?"

The mink triangle next to him immediately explained.

"Aww, waaaaah, waaaah..."

It turns out they established a duty system, taking turns to go up to the watchtower at regular intervals to observe the operation of the formation and adjust its direction so that it can gather more spiritual energy and produce more energy!
"Oh?

"This... actually doesn't have a very big impact."

"There's no need for all that trouble..."

A dozen or so minks squinted their eyes, looking quite pleased with themselves... The owner really appreciates their hard work!

However, he firmly believes that the direction must be adjusted regularly... Even if it doesn't have a significant impact on production, every extra wisp of spiritual energy gathered is useful!

A wisp of spiritual energy could become a giant pig ball, a super-fast fish ball, or some other kind of ball... They cannot accept missing any wisp of spiritual energy!
