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

He Li needs things that are beneficial to the soul. He wants to use those things to nourish the souls of the ten directions and ten corners so that they can directly attack the souls of others.

He Li had originally thought that this search of various sects and families in Shanghai would yield some results.

However, he didn't expect to gain much.

He didn't expect that the souls from all directions could immediately attack souls and kill people invisibly. Who knew that Wang Yue would actually help him transfer resources from other regions?

This was a huge help.

"I wonder how much stuff he brought over."

"If there were enough..."

"That most powerful ten-pointed soul form might actually be able to form a fighting force very soon."

"At that time..." He Li glanced at the distant sea with a sinister look before breaking into a bright smile: "Thank you so much, I desperately need those things that nourish my soul."

Hearing He Li's joyful voice.

Wang Yue and the others didn't think much of it.

He simply said, "Then let's go. The items should all have been delivered to the Special Affairs Bureau by now."

"We'll go directly to the Special Affairs Bureau to get it."

"Also, there's something else..."

On the way back to the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau with He Li and the others, Wang Yue seemed to remember something and turned to look at He Li: "Some people from Shuzhou are waiting for you at the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau."

"Shuzhou? The Bacheng Special Bureau?"

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, He Li instinctively thought of his old friends from the Bacheng Special Bureau.

But Wang Yue shook his head.

"No, it's the five tribes of Shu Prefecture."

The five tribes of Shu Prefecture? That's alright then. These people definitely know that He Li was able to obtain the Nine-Section Jade Cong after suppressing the Demon Capital, which is why they rushed over to wait for the transaction to be completed.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yu Ji. Originally, He Li wanted to ask about the five tribes of Shu Prefecture.

But before he could even speak...

Yu Ji, who was also looking up at him...

He spoke first...

"The people from the five tribes of Shu Prefecture have come here because they want to get their hands on the nine-section jade cong in your possession."

"Whether you give it to me or not is up to you, but I can take that dragon egg back and help you hatch it using tribal tools. Also... I happen to need to go back for two days."

"Before leaving the overseas immortal mountains..."

"I should be able to come back."

Huh? What do you mean?

From what Yu Ji said, it sounded like she was encouraging him to break the terms of the deal and not give her the Nine-Section Jade Cong, and then she would just help him hatch the dragon egg for free?

Although her hints were helpful, He Li was more interested in knowing what the people of the five tribes of Shuzhou were up to.

Those people must know the function of the nine-section jade cong.

It might even activate its effect.

Therefore, He Li shook his head: "I will naturally keep my promise, so I can give it to them."

"I'm also curious to see what kind of trouble your tribe will cause after getting the Nine-Section Jade Cong. But... why are you going back for two days?"

"Is there anything important happening at home?"

"I guess so!" Yu Ji nodded.

She added, "I should have told you about those things in China that have undergone strange changes due to the influence of spiritual energy, such as the Iron-Eating Beast King, and the Green Sheep of the Green Sheep Palace, etc."

"The ancient mulberry tree I mentioned before is actually being cultivated within our tribe."

"When I went back, my family told me that there was something wrong with that tree and that I should go back and take a look and fix it."

A thousand-year-old mulberry tree?

When Yu Ji mentioned that tree, He Li recalled that Yu Ji had indeed mentioned it back in Shu Prefecture, but he was still suspicious: "What if something really goes wrong with that kind of thing..."

"What's your solution?"

"You don't possess any related supernatural powers or methods!"

That's what they say.

But He Li didn't think that way.

Because he clearly remembered that Yu Ji's soul was completely different from other people's souls.

Back in the Silver Sand Ruins, when he devoured the Dragon Elephant to obtain the Soul Suppressing Domain and saw the souls of others, he noticed that Yu Ji's soul had a sapling-like thing growing on it.

He felt at the time that Yu Ji was hiding something.

He didn't ask any further questions.

Now I hear Yu Ji mention that big mulberry tree.

He Li couldn't help but wonder if there was a connection between Yu Ji and that thousand-year-old mulberry tree.

After all, the problem with the big mulberry tree was so bad that her tribe demanded that she go back. It seemed that Yu Ji's situation was not unrelated to the big mulberry tree.

When I thought of this...

He Li narrowed his eyes, simultaneously activating his Soul-Suppressing Domain and his supernatural ability, the Hungry Ghost Vision, and locking onto Yu Ji before him...

hum! ! !

The next moment, the world reversed, and as the afterlife scene appeared in He Li's eyes, his eyelids twitched slightly, because he clearly saw that Yu Ji's soul was different again.

Previously at the Silver Sand Ruins, the thing on Yu Ji's soul looked like just a small sapling.

However, at this very moment...

That sapling has grown into a large tree.

However, this tree is not tall.

It grew from the back of Yu Ji's soul shoulder, and the branches that grew like a banyan tree grew from half of Yu Ji's soul. Its roots merged with Yu Ji's limbs and extended in all directions.

What surprised He Li even more was...

The tree's roots seemed to be... taking root in the afterlife rather than in the present.

He Li could even see it clearly...

The tree roots that spread from Yu Ji's left foot intertwined with the broken traces left by the afterlife, those traces... looked like the colorful cracks left by a game error.

"What the hell is this thing?"

The supernatural power was withdrawn, and the Soul-Suppressing Domain was dispelled.

He Li stared at Yu Ji with a rare serious expression.

The latter was somewhat confused and was only prepared to answer the questions He Li had just asked her.

She had only just opened her mouth.

He Li interrupted, "What the hell is that tree on your soul?"

Hmm? Upon hearing He Li's question and seeing He Li's unusually serious expression, Yu Ji seemed to realize something, frowned, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

It took her a long time to respond to He Li...

"There is a tree on my soul..."

"I don't really know either."

"I can't see my own soul, but I have a general idea of ​​what's going on."

"As for the specifics of what happened..."

"It's a long story... I'll tell you what happened when I get back. Don't worry, this tree shouldn't do me any harm."

As she spoke, she pointed ahead again.

"Don't worry about me."

"Look, my sister and the others are waiting for you!"

Upon hearing Yu Ji's words, He Li realized that they had already returned to the Special Bureau of Shanghai.

Moreover, at the entrance of the Special Bureau, Yu Qingge and the people from the five departments of Shu Prefecture were already waiting for him. Seeing this, He Li had no choice but to temporarily suppress the matter.

"Since Yu Ji knows what happened..."

"And you were so sure it was nothing."

"Then it should be fine."

"We'll ask her more specific questions when she gets back to Shanghai. Since she doesn't want to talk about it now, let's deal with other things first..." He Li thought to himself as he walked toward Yu Qingge.

Before she could speak, He Li had already taken the nine-section jade cong from his dantian and tossed it to her.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qingge hurriedly caught it.

"Be careful, this is..."

She stopped mid-sentence, only glaring at He Li.

He Li smiled and asked in return, "But what?"

"...Nothing!" Yu Qingge carefully put away the nine-section jade cong and resumed her aloof demeanor, uttering three words. He Li pursed his lips and didn't ask any further questions, only taking out the dragon egg and handing it to them.

"Here you go, hurry up and hatch it for me."

"If you can't do it, don't blame me for coming back to take back the nine-section jade cong!"

Yu Qingge took the dragon egg and nodded indifferently.

However, she immediately pressed further, "Did you obtain the token to land on the overseas immortal mountains?"

"You know about the token?" He Li asked suspiciously.

But then he nodded: "Yes!"

"And then? What are you trying to say?"

"I wanted to say..." Yu Qingge pursed her lips, "You definitely won't be able to use all those tokens, so how about... you give one or two tokens to the five tribes of Shu Prefecture?"

"Sharing it with you?" He Li smiled.

"Why should I? Just because you're shameless?"

He retorted, his tone full of sarcasm.

Yu Qingge's face flushed slightly with embarrassment, but she didn't back down. Instead, she stood firm and argued, "No, you can also make your own demands and then give them to us..."

"We can make a deal!"

A deal? He Li's lips curled up.

If you're talking about trading, then I'm no longer sleepy!
