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

"That's... resolved?" A pleasant voice, which He Li knew all too well, suddenly rang out from behind him.

It was Yu Qingge and Mu Lan.

They followed, having heard He Li mention that there were flying boats and cultivators from the Middle Realm ahead...

They wanted to see the flying boats often mentioned in novels, and also hoped that when He Li dealt with those powerful Qi cultivators, they could come and help deal with the other escapees.

However, when they arrived, they discovered...

He Li is now even stronger, and the speed at which she eliminates enemies far exceeds their expectations.

They arrived before they even had a chance to make a move.

Not to mention the Nascent Soul stage cultivators who are already half-dead...

They are the Qi cultivators on the flying boat...

Because the flying boat was shrouded in He Li's spiritual thoughts, it had no way to escape the suppression of those thoughts, and no matter how they cast spells, it had no effect whatsoever.

And He Li saw them following...

He simply shrugged calmly: "What else?"

As he spoke, he shook his head again.

"However, this time, I originally did not plan to immediately take action against these Qi Refining practitioners of the Zhenhai Sect."

"I'm thinking of disguising myself as a Qi cultivator and peacefully communicating with them to see if I can get any useful information before deciding how to deal with these people."

"Who knew they were courting death?"

"After treating me like a rogue cultivator, they immediately demanded that I, a mere rogue cultivator, hand over some treasure?"

"So, does that mean I'm not pretending anymore?"

Huh? Yu Qingge and the other two were speechless.

Upon hearing this, those Qi cultivators from the Zhenhai Sect felt an urge to smash their heads against a block of tofu.

Especially the Nascent Soul stage Qi Refiner from Zhenhai Sect, he clearly sensed that He Liting was in danger, but he only got interested in him because he discovered that the other party was a rogue cultivator who was suspected of possessing a great treasure.

He felt that if he didn't change his attitude so quickly...

Try to "communicate" with this person more...

Perhaps we can also discover problems.

Then, whether you call for reinforcements or run away, the problem should be solved.

Now things are really bad. Not only is he seriously injured and his primordial spirit is in the hands of the other party and could be crushed at any time, but the other disciples of Zhenhai Sect and the flying boat have also fallen into the hands of the other party.

This is really the end!

However, he still wanted to struggle.

After all, who doesn't want to live?

Then, the Nascent Soul stage Qi cultivator said, "We are Qi cultivators from the Zhenhai Sect!"

"The Zhenhai Sect...you should know about it!"

"This is the strongest sect in the East Sea. We...we are disciples of the Zhenhai Sect, and our life tablets are kept within the sect. If we die at your hands, you will also be hunted down!"

"The backlash from the fate card will forever mark you!"

"It's no use running to the ends of the earth!"

"So I advise you to..."

"Fool!" Before he could finish speaking, He Li sneered, "Don't forget I'm from the lower realm."

"I'll kill you all and then go straight back to the lower realm."

"What? Do you think your Zhenhai Sect's Qi Refiners have the guts to chase us down to the lower realm for revenge? Tsk, if you really go down there, no matter how many people your sect sends, they'll just be easy prey!"

"You're actually threatening me like this?"

"Looks like we haven't learned our lesson yet!"

As he spoke, He Li exerted force in his hand, instantly causing slight cracks to appear in the opponent's primordial spirit...

Snap!

The crisp sound that accompanied the crack...

The Nascent Soul stage cultivator's eyes widened instantly, his pupils dilating to the extreme as if his eyes were about to bulge out, and his sclera was filled with bright red blood vessels.

That ferocious appearance was enough to make one's heart tremble just by looking at it, and one couldn't even imagine how much pain the other person was in.

However, just as He Li felt relieved and was about to ask these people for some information...

hum! ! !

Accompanied by the spread of eerie Qi...

He Li frowned slightly.

He clearly saw that the Qi Refiner in his hand, whose face had become ferocious due to pain but was still relatively normal, suddenly had some irregular and strange patterns appear on his skin.

The pattern was dark purple.

And as the patterns appeared, the pain on the Qi Refiner's face visibly disappeared.

What appeared on his face instead was...

It was madness, distorted features, eerie eyes that gradually lost their pupils and turned scarlet, and the deformed writhing of the shattered primordial spirit and the continuous trembling of the whole body.

His teeth were chattering, making a constant, rattling sound that was quite alarming...

"What's going on?"

"A blessing from the heavens? Or some kind of magic?"

He Li was somewhat unsure about the situation.

On the flying boat, the Qi cultivators of the Zhenhai Sect, who were already somewhat disheartened by the hopelessness of escape, all turned terrified when they saw their senior uncle's appearance...

"Disaster...calamity...change..."

Someone spoke in a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this sound, He Li's eyelids twitched, and he immediately threw away the strange Qi Refiner in his hand...

"What's wrong?" Mu Lan frowned upon seeing this.

He Li replied in a deep voice, "That person... seems to have undergone the phenomenon of turning into a monster due to the calamity of the middle realm, but the problem is that I have no idea how this change came about."

"In any case, let's move away and observe first."

"After all, it's uncertain whether this strange situation is contagious."

As he spoke, he quickly led his men to retreat.

Since the flying boat was still useful, he naturally didn't let it go and used his spiritual sense to pull it away quickly.

But He Li was very puzzled.

Every change in power has a source. Given his current strength and status, plus the fact that he's in direct contact with his target, if the target exhibits any unusual changes...

He should be able to detect the source of the change.

But he was completely unaware of this change.

Just like this force that influences change...

It seems to have appeared out of thin air.

This is so strange!

Even if it's a divine punishment from the heavens, there are always some omens or signs that allow someone with such strong perception to sense that the power comes from some unseen force.

But this change really has no source. It's impossible that the source of this change is more advanced than the Heavenly Dao, right?

That's simply impossible!

As he pondered, seeing the Nascent Soul stage Qi Refiner in the distance still twisting and changing, and his aura steadily increasing, He Li suddenly turned his head to look at the people on the flying boat...

"What exactly is going on with this calamity?"

"Tell me what you know!"

"Otherwise... you can keep him company!"

Hearing this threat, the Qi cultivators of the Zhenhai Sect on the flying boat became even more panicked, and finally one of them timidly said, "We...we don't actually know...that much!"

"I've only heard... I've heard that the probability of this calamity being triggered when nothing is done is relatively low."

"But as long as I cast spells to do anything..."

"Or engage in battle..."

"The probability of triggering a calamity increases dramatically. There are countless cases where a calamity is suddenly triggered during combat or spellcasting, and the person instantly turns into a bizarre monster that has lost their mind."

"But what exactly is going on... I... we at this level really don't know!"

Huh? You turn into a monster if you use magic in battle?

A flash of inspiration struck He Li.

He recalled Wu Di's words, and vaguely felt as if he had grasped something crucial...

But when he tried to think about it carefully, he couldn't connect the two together. However, he was certain that the catastrophe was related to the error in the cultivation system.

Cultivating immortality... is really not a good idea!

While he was pondering these things, in the distance, the Qi Refiner he had thrown out had finished his transformation...

Like the other irrational and crazed Qi cultivators He Li had encountered, he had lost his mind, staring at everyone with his scarlet eyes like a wild beast.

The good thing is...

He seemed to still have at least a basic sense of danger.

Perhaps it was because they discovered He Li was in danger.

He didn't launch an attack directly. He just hunched over and hovered in the air with his twisted body, as if looking for the right opportunity or an opening in He Li's defenses before making his move.

Upon seeing this, He Li was just thinking of using his Purple Mansion Space to study the disaster problem later.

But just as he was about to make his move...

hum! ! !

Golden light shone in the sky!

The golden sunlight shone through the clouds, illuminating the crazed Qi cultivator and causing his entire body to glow with golden-red runes. His already formidable aura surged even higher.

And that wasn't all. After the warm sun shone, a gentle breeze, seemingly from nowhere, enveloped the Qi cultivator...

As the cyclone continues to rotate...

The Qi cultivator's body was covered in numerous blue patterns.

His momentum continued to rise!

In just a few seconds, He Li felt that the combat power of this crazy Qi Refiner, whose strength had already increased dramatically due to becoming a monster, had increased by at least two or three times.

This made him unable to resist looking up at the sky...

He knew it without even thinking.

Those two forces that suddenly appeared just now...

The source is definitely the silly golden crow from the upper realm...

And that bug, Dingfengxian!
