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

He Lijin's time at the Special Bureau was too short, so there are many things he doesn't really understand.

At this time, I heard about Qingyang's matter...

It's no wonder he was surprised.

At the same time, he couldn't help but ask, "Besides the Qingyang Palace you just mentioned, what other local monsters are there that don't harbor malice towards humans?"

"We also have two similar monsters in Shu Prefecture."

Yu Ji responded upon hearing this.

"First, there is the Iron-Eating Beast King of Wolong Mountain."

"Secondly, the thousand-year-old mulberry tree in the Wuwu Mountain."

"Both of these are bizarre native creatures, and both possess considerable intelligence, enabling them to communicate normally with humans. I've heard that they've even assisted in some cases in the past."

"The rest are in other continents..."

There are two more in Shu Prefecture? Hearing Yu Ji's words, He Li nodded slightly, but he was very curious.

"I should go and take a look when I have time."

That's what he was thinking.

Yu Ji added, "Aside from a few bizarre native creatures, there are actually many unusual and special objects in our Shu Prefecture, and even the entire Great Xia."

"For example, the divine bird gold foil from the Yinsha Relics."

"The bronze sacred tree of the Nine Stars Ruins, the mask with protruding eyes..."

"Including stone rhinoceroses, etc."

"Although we haven't yet figured out what special effects most of those items have..."

"But I've heard that in other continents, some people have used antique artifacts or other objects that exhibit unusual reactions as weapons with special powers."

"Those things will greatly increase one's combat power..."

As she said this, she looked at He Li with a smile.

"Once those things are understood..."

"If it's confirmed that they can be used as equipment, you might be able to get one or two pieces."

"After all, the most capable person should have the best position."

"Given how much Kyoto values ​​you, once they've confirmed that those antiques and artifacts can enhance your strength, they certainly won't hesitate to give them to a genius like you."

Antiques and artifacts that can be used as equipment...

It is indeed quite interesting.

"In that case, I just hope that Kyoto can figure out those things as soon as possible."

Coming to his senses, He Li responded.

At the same time, Wang Chao and other Taoist priests from Qingyang Palace spoke up...

"The changes here should have stabilized by now."

"How about it? Want to go in?"

He looked at He Liwen, and everyone else present also looked at He Liwen, waiting for his decision. This made the monks and nuns in the temple even more unhappy.

Ultimately, Buddhism is their territory, and they should be the ones making the decisions.

But because of the existence of He Li...

Everyone present now follows He Li's lead as if they have to ask him for advice on everything they do. In fact, they themselves are afraid of He Li and dare not go in rashly.

But, the more this is the case...

The more resentful they felt, the more dissatisfied they became with He Li.

He Li, however, didn't care about their feelings.

He nodded slightly upon hearing Wang Chao's words.

"Okay, let's go in then!"

Having said that, He Li took the lead and leaped into the entrance of the anomaly point, which was shrouded in a faint gray mist after the collapse of the rocks. Seeing this, the others followed in his footsteps and entered one after another...

hum! ! !

As the group stepped into the area of ​​spatial anomaly, a chilling aura immediately swept over them.

Along with the chilling air, everyone felt as if their minds were being pressured by an invisible force, a feeling that made them physically uncomfortable, breathless, and dizzy.

Moreover, the surrounding environment was also very oppressive.

Everything here is shrouded in a gray haze, with low visibility, and the pervasive gray fog is icy cold.

Touching human skin makes one shiver involuntarily.

"I've never seen such an unusual area before."

"What exactly is going on here?"

Coming to their senses, someone couldn't help but ask.

He Li then looked at Wang Chao and the others. These people had come here after hearing from Qing Yang that there was something unusual about the place.

Perhaps they know something else?

He Li was filled with anticipation, and Wang Chao, seeing this, seized the opportunity and said, "Qing Yang only said that there seemed to be some unusual changes here, and also mentioned... that we should avoid the buildings here."

"That's all they said."

Avoid the buildings?

"Is there something wrong with the building here?"

He Li was somewhat suspicious. He subtly touched Yu Ji with his spiritual sense, and the latter shook his head slightly, indicating that Wang Chao had told the truth and had not lied.

When Wang Chao heard He Li press for an answer, he simply shook his head: "The information that Qingyang has shared with us is very limited."

"We're not sure about the situation either."

"However, Qingyang won't harm us."

"In my opinion... be cautious. If you see any buildings in the fog later, avoid them. After all, this anomalous area is different from other anomalous areas."

"There might be some serious danger!"

Wang Chao said this, but He Li hadn't responded yet.

Then I heard someone making sarcastic remarks...

"Who doesn't know that even in the wild, such unusual areas are full of rare and precious materials? If we discover an alternate dimension building and go inside to explore, we might even find otherworldly treasures."

"You're telling us not to approach the building? What are you Taoists up to...?"

"That's hard to say."

Hmm? He Li glanced at the person who spoke upon hearing this.

She was the nun standing behind the group of monks.

Wang Chao and the others also looked over.

However, despite their displeasure, they didn't waste time arguing with the nun and simply continued, "In short, it's best to be careful for your own life."

He Li came to his senses and nodded upon hearing this.

"Let's go, let's move forward first and see what happens!"

As he spoke, he strode forward.

The others followed, but before He Li and the others had gone very far, they were astonished to find that, to their dismay, an alternate dimension structure had actually appeared ahead...

It was an expansion based on a cave in the mountain... but now half of it has collapsed...

A cave dwelling?

The name popped into He Li's mind.

At the same time, his exceptional eyesight allowed him to vaguely see, through the thin mist, a strange fruit resembling a cherry tomato hidden in the corner of the dilapidated cave...

Vermilion Fruit?!

He Li's eyelids twitched, and almost instinctively he activated his spiritual energy, preparing to rush forward and take it.

However, at the moment the spiritual energy within the body begins to circulate...

However, he discovered that the flow of spiritual energy was obstructed.

"What's going on?" He Li paused, looked down suspiciously, frowned, and carefully sensed himself. He discovered that his spiritual energy seemed to be mixed with some kind of yin and filth energy.

This caused operational problems.

Forcing it to run by increasing output is possible, but if you want to combine it with the use of Spiritual Qi Meridian Circulation...

Or perhaps it's releasing spiritual energy or using martial arts techniques...

Even if it can't be released.

But... where did that filthy energy come from?

Could it be...? He Li's gaze swept across the surrounding hazy mist and then fixed on the vermilion fruit in the dilapidated cave ahead. He was now absolutely certain that what Wang Chao had said earlier was true.

There's something wrong with this place, especially since there's probably something dangerous hidden in those buildings.

In addition, there is the yin and filth energy here...

An ordinary martial artist who rashly approaches will surely die.

"No wonder Qingyang reminded them to stay away from buildings."

He Li thought to himself.

At the same time, he turned to look at the crowd: "Don't go over there. That place that looks like a cave is probably dangerous, and I..." He originally wanted to warn the others.

Those bald men are fine, but we should remind the other innocent martial artists if we can.

However, he hadn't finished speaking.

Someone has already made a move...

The people who took action were the nun who had spoken earlier, and two other martial monks from other temples.

"It's a vermilion fruit! I see it!!!"

"It's right there in the crack of that building!!!"

"Treasures belong to whoever finds them first, and the Vermilion Fruit hidden beneath the ruins rightfully belongs to me, Huifen!"

As they strode away, their excited voices echoed ahead, surprising and puzzled everyone. He Li, however, merely squinted and did not try to stop them.

He doesn't care whether these bald monks live or die.

Furthermore, although he knew there were dangers in the building, he was also curious about the specific dangers.

Now some fools are risking their lives...

I'll personally help him test what that danger really is...

He also enjoys watching plays.

Meanwhile, Yu Ji, Wang Chao, and the others around them, though also envious of the Vermilion Fruit, saw that He Li merely stood there mockingly, not moving, but instead staring at the abandoned cave ahead...

They also sensed something was wrong and suppressed their burning desire, standing still to observe.

Only the monks and nuns in those temples...

Although they noticed He Li and his group's unusual behavior, they didn't think there was any danger ahead. They just felt that He Li and his group were envious and jealous that their fellow disciples had found the Vermilion Fruit.

"Hmph, so what if you're so powerful?"

"Unfortunately, I was unlucky and had poor eyesight."

"The vermilion fruit was right in front of us, and we didn't even notice it..."

"You were given a chance, but you still failed!"

They sneered inwardly, but at that moment, the three people ahead who were trying to pick the vermilion fruit screamed in agony...
