Three punches shattered the demonic soul, young hero, I'm an honest man!

Chapter 85 Resources are burning, someone is backing you up

The next day.

Inside the quiet room of the Northern Garrison Command.

Pei Yun sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his mind sinking into his dantian.

Pei Yun vividly remembered the scene when Luo Qingyi mentioned the "Flawless Dao Foundation".

"A twelve-tiered palace, perfectly complete, paving a smooth path to immortality—a legendary existence—"

Pei Yun murmured to herself, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing together.

At that time, Pei Yun vaguely felt that his reforged crystal foundation was...

Since its reconstruction, it has exhibited many unusual features.

At this moment, with a calm mind, one can sense that the crystal foundation is quietly suspended in the center of the Qi Sea.

It is crystal clear and translucent, as if it were carved from the purest glass.

There are hidden Dao patterns flowing on it, deep and unfathomable.

Compared to the "flawless Dao foundation" described by Luo Qingyi, it does seem to have some similarities.

Yet it also seems to possess a few more indescribable qualities.

"Supreme Immortal Chapter — The Palace of Longevity —"

Pei Yun's thoughts stirred slightly.

He has yet to fully grasp the secrets of this mysterious technique.

All that is known is that it seems to originate from an ancient tradition called "Longevity Dharma Palace".

He had never heard of the Longevity Palace, but the "Longevity Lineage" headed by Penglai Immortal Island was renowned and unfathomably profound.

Is there any intricate connection between this "Longevity Palace" and the "Longevity Lineage"?

Pei Yun had no idea.

Pei Yun composed himself and began to circulate the Supreme Immortal Chapter.

As the cultivation technique was activated, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the quiet room seemed to be drawn in by an invisible force.

In an instant, it transformed into a vast, visible force, rushing into Pei Yun's body.

This Supreme Immortal is truly a "money-devouring tycoon".

Pei Yun clicked his tongue in amazement.

If an ordinary eighth-grade innate cultivator were to receive such a massive influx of spiritual energy, their dantian would likely be swollen and their meridians on the verge of bursting.

However, his foundation in glass is like a bottomless glass vase, welcoming all who come.

It devoured and refined all the incoming spiritual energy without the slightest stagnation.

"Of all the paths to immortality, only strength is true; if you desire longevity, first ask about the money in your purse."

Pei Yun smiled bitterly to himself.

This path of cultivation is indeed built with resources.

However, although this Supreme Immortal Zhang is a "money-devouring tycoon," he is also quite shrewd when it comes to "taking money to do things."

A vast amount of spiritual energy was transformed by the Glazed Foundation.

It transforms into the purest true energy, merging into the Qi Sea and nourishing every inch of the meridians.

Pei Yun could clearly sense it.

While his cultivation had stabilized, it lacked the excitement he felt when he first advanced to the next level.

It possesses a greater sense of composure and weight, like rivers flowing into the sea, as well as an indescribable solidity and harmony.

It was as if all the acupoints in his body had been re-polished, and his efficiency in absorbing and releasing spiritual energy was far greater than before.

This feeling of getting stronger every moment is clear, real, and captivating.

Only after a long while did Pei Yun slowly exhale a breath of stale air.

"really----"

Pei Yun opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

His conjecture about the Glazed Foundation and the Flawless Dao Foundation was further confirmed during this cultivation experience.

There must be some profound connection between the two!

However, the true mystery of this glazed foundation can only be fully understood when the foundation is truly laid and the buildings are revealed.

At that time, all the mysteries will be solved.

Pei Yun then recalled the mystery of "destiny" that Luo Qingyi had mentioned.

"Upon the foundation of the Dao, the palace is perfected, nature and life are cultivated together, giving rise to one's inherent destiny—"

Such "natal Dao techniques" that grow together with the cultivator are far more powerful than ordinary Dao techniques.

The "Moon-Holding Jade-Folding Hand" technique he now possesses is already of a high grade, sufficient to handle most situations at present.

However, after hearing about the mysteries of "destiny," Pei Yun couldn't help but feel a bit wary and want to prepare for the future.

"My Destiny's Daoist Technique —"

Pei Yun muttered to himself, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

Once you encounter a cultivator with a "natal destiny," ordinary methods will likely be ineffective.

He was unsure whether he would encounter a formidable enemy with a "destined" fate in the future.

But it's always good to be prepared.

"It seems it's time to find some more trump cards." Pei Yun stroked his chin.

It's always good to be prepared.

Just as Pei Yun was pondering, Zhang Quan's respectful voice came from outside the door.

"Boss, Lord Luo requests your presence."

Pei Yun raised an eyebrow, snapping out of her reverie.

He stood up, straightened his robes slightly, and then walked outside.

Inside Luo Qingyi's official residence at the Northern Garrison Command.

The decor remained as simple and austere as ever.

Luo Qingyi sat upright behind the desk, her breathtakingly long legs casually crossed, exuding a heroic and dashing air.

When she saw Pei Yun enter, a smile appeared on her bright face.

"sit."

Pei Yun didn't stand on ceremony and found a chair to sit down.

Luo Qingyi didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point: "How's the investigation going on with that old case from eighteen years ago that you took over?"

Pei Yun's expression slightly changed.

After concealing the existence of the system, the discovery of Canghuai Academy and Li Qingzhu's mysterious death will occur.

He briefly reported the details of the Zhou Yusheng lead to Luo Qingyi.

Pei Yun did not conceal the speculation that remnants of the Yongning Xiao clan from the previous dynasty had intervened in the matter.

"—At present, the lead on Li Qingzhu has been temporarily interrupted because the other party got there first."

"Those people from the previous dynasty were ruthless and decisive; they clearly didn't want us to find anything useful from Li Qingzhu."

Pei Yun paused slightly before summarizing.

"However, Zhou Yusheng from the Zhou family might be an unexpected breakthrough."

Luo Qingyi listened quietly to Pei Yun's narration, her delicate brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

"The Yongning Xiao family, those vermin from the previous dynasty, are still haunting us."

Then Luo Qingyi turned her gaze to Pei Yun.

"This matter is far more complex than it appears on the surface, with hidden murky waters behind it."

"If you continue your investigation, it will inevitably touch a nerve with certain people in the capital and cause unnecessary trouble."

This case involves a wide range of issues and is also intricately connected to Luo Qingyi herself.

Luo Qingyi wanted to find out the truth, but she didn't want to alert the enemy and fall into someone's trap.

"So in the coming days, I will try my best to draw the attention of those in power to me."

"You can focus on your investigation without worrying too much."

"If you need any support, just ask me."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yun understood.

Luo Qingyi intends to personally intervene, drawing attention to the case openly to facilitate his covert investigation.

This trust and courage are truly admirable.

"Lord Luo's actions will likely cause a lot of trouble," Pei Yun warned.

Luo Qingyi's lips curved into a faint smile, carrying a hint of pride and confidence.

"It's just a little trouble; I, Luo Qingyi, don't even consider it a problem."

She paused, then added, "You just need to remember that your goal is to find out the truth."

"As for the rest, there's no need to get distracted."

Pei Yun nodded: "Understood."

Pei Yun secretly thought that Luo Qingyi's actions were certainly intended to relieve his burden.

However, he also harbored a bit of a scheme to turn the tables, deliberately stirring up trouble and luring the snake out of its hole.

This female boss was never one to be passive.
