With 100,000 soldiers, am I the greatest mystery?

After hearing Master Chen's words, Director Zhang and the others realized that the matter was indeed very troublesome.

The bizarre resurgence had already exhausted the Great Xia Dynasty in dealing with it.

Now we also have to worry about unorthodox methods used by outsiders.

Moreover, compared to the bizarre, these unorthodox folk methods are the most difficult to deal with.

Once something strange appears, it should at least be detectable.

However, unorthodox methods used by ordinary people are extremely difficult to deal with.

For example, those who practice feng shui.

If someone uses feng shui methods to commit murder, how can we know who did it?

Sometimes, people don't even need to show up in person; they've already arranged the feng shui for you.

In addition, there are those who raise unruly soldiers.

They'll unleash their rampaging soldiers to reap blood and food, then frame the monsters for it.

There's no way to even begin investigating this.

Therefore, Master Chen's suggestion was very prescient.

Recruit some, win over others, let some go unchecked, and finally suppress the rest.

After a moment's thought, Director Zhang asked, "Master Chen!"

"Could you please tell me the truth? Does the Dao Alliance currently have any Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Master Chen shook his head upon hearing this.

"No one from the Dao Alliance has successfully established their foundation yet."

Director Zhang can ask the Buddhist community.

Some of the cultivation methods there don't require too much spiritual energy.

Once you grasp the true meaning, you can reach a higher level.

Although they may be inferior in terms of the strength of their enemies.

But once you reach a certain level, you'll always have more methods at your disposal.

Upon hearing Master Chen's words, the Buddhist representative sitting opposite him immediately shook his head and said, "The Buddhist side doesn't have any for the time being."

Enlightenment is not something that comes easily.

It all depends on chance.

When the time is right, you can even gain enlightenment by drinking a sip of water.

If the opportunity isn't right, sitting idly for ten years won't help.

Upon hearing this answer, Director Zhang pondered for a moment.

He then took out his phone and called Chief Qin.

"Old Qin!"

A basic agreement has now been reached.

You contact that senior colleague first.

Try your best to win him over; at worst, don't push him to the opposite side.

Also, remember to let me know when he gets out of customs.

I will personally pay a visit then.

I grant you permission to hold a small-scale celebration for him in the name of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

Some resources can be mobilized and sent over as a congratulatory gift to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

If you don't have suitable resources, you can send me a report.

of course.

If he doesn't want to make a fuss, there's no need to hold a celebration.

Just deliver the gift.

Upon hearing this, Captain Qin looked troubled.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Director Zhang!"

It's not that I don't want to do it.

It's not that I can't do it!

I don't even know what they need, how am I supposed to give them a gift?

Why don't you ask that Taoist Master Chen first?

What would be a suitable gift?

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang looked at Master Chen.

With the phone on speakerphone, Master Chen naturally heard Captain Qin's words.

After a moment of contemplation, Master Chen said, "Give a gift to a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

If we're talking about suitable items, then naturally all kinds of spiritual objects would be the best.

That senior came from a humble background, so his background was probably not very deep.

Sending some lightning-struck wood would be acceptable.

Lightning-struck wood can be used to make magical artifacts.

As for other things, that depends on your intentions.

If you want to test whether that senior has the ability to refine pills, you can add some spiritual herbs.

If you want to test whether he has the ability to forge weapons.

You can send some meteorite iron, copper essence, spirit silk, etc.

If you want to test whether he has the ability to set up formations, then send him some jade marrow or the like.

of course.

How to match them depends on Director Zhang's opinion.

This is merely a suggestion.

Hearing Master Chen's words, Director Zhang also fell into thought.

The General Administration naturally has all of these things.

As the first Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Great Xia Dynasty, it wouldn't be impossible for him to send out all these kinds of items.

What Director Zhang was pondering was how to achieve his goal of testing the waters.

Should I just ask if it's possible?

This is clearly inappropriate.

He, Zhang, and Yu Hao had no connection whatsoever.

It's clearly inappropriate to directly ask someone what their abilities are.

Prying into someone's past is not something to be proud of.

After thinking for a moment, Director Zhang said to Captain Qin on the other end of the phone, "Old Qin!"

What are the things that Master Chen just mentioned that your Jiangcheng lacks?

You can give me two or three pieces of meteorite iron and copper essence.

Three to five cubic meters of lightning-struck wood can be given as a gift.

You probably don't have any spirit silkworm silk where you are, but I'll get you three ounces as soon as I can.

You probably don't have chalcedony where you are.

I'll arrange a third party for you later.

I'll get you ten plants of the elixir.

Given that senior Foundation Establishment cultivator's status, sending these things would be considered barely presentable.

However, I have a task for you.

Upon hearing this, Commander Qin's expression turned serious, and he called out, "Please give instructions, Director Zhang!"

Remember this!

After sending these things out, you need to find out if that senior can use them.

Whether it's alchemy or weapon crafting.

Even setting up a formation is fine.

If he could do the same, it would be of great benefit to our Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

These are all immeasurable benefits!

I heard from you that Xiao Li from the South District has a good relationship with that senior.

If there are things you can't do in person, you can let her do them.

Do you understand what I mean?

Upon hearing this, Commander Qin replied, "Understood!"

"good!

That's enough!

Keep an eye on this matter. Once that senior has emerged from seclusion, notify me immediately.

I will then visit them on behalf of the General Administration, bringing gifts from the General Administration.

"yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Director Zhang said, "Let's end the meeting here for today."

I need to report this senior's situation to my superiors.

Also, please report Master Chen's concerns.

Upon hearing this, Master Chen said, "Let me remind Director Zhang again."

Try to maintain a good relationship with that person.

The situation at several strange locations has become increasingly serious.

If we don't find a solution soon, the situation will likely become very difficult to manage.

Especially the Longjing tea from that town.

It can now be basically confirmed that a dragon was indeed locked up below before.

Moreover, that dragon had already perished.

What has been revived now is the dragon's soul.

Given the dragon's resentment, if it were to escape...

The harm it causes is something that Director Zhang could probably foresee.

Leaving it unresolved is not a solution.

Upon hearing Master Chen's words, Director Zhang immediately felt immense pressure.

He was naturally aware of the places Master Chen mentioned.

That Zhenlongjing well is even more terrifying.

If it weren't for the remaining sealing power, the dragon's soul would have already escaped.

If it weren't for the fact that there's no peace anywhere right now, Director Zhang would have proposed moving the capital to his superiors long ago.

Since there was really no way to move, he gave up the idea.

After all, sea monsters are not to be ignored.

Migrate to the southwest?

The wartime capital, Jiangcheng, seems to be relatively peaceful now.

That place isn't safe either.

It's so close to the snow-capped mountains and the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After thinking for a moment, Director Zhang said, "Thank you for reminding me, Master Chen. I will remember this matter."

"But could you give me a hint: can the Foundation Establishment stage resolve these issues?"

Upon hearing this, Master Chen felt somewhat uncertain.

The first few places were relatively easy to handle.

Given his methods, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

The only thing I'm unsure about is the Zhenlongjing well.

Dragons are not ordinary creatures.

Even though that dragon is now just a ghost.

Even though the dragon soul has only recently awakened, the power of the seal is limiting its consumption.

But he has never seen the dragon soul with his own eyes, so how could he know the specifics?

After all, that dragon was sealed away by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Foundation Establishment stage is as vast as mountains and seas.
