The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Yao Xiangyang did not dwell on the topic too much. Seeing that Lu Yan had adapted to the changes in his body, he led Lu Yan out of the courtroom.

"Teacher, since the Primal Potion is so important, why was it entrusted to Muyun Technology in the first place?"

Lu Yan asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to either, but among all the companies under 056's protection, only Muyun Technology has the ability to develop branch sequences from the original potion."

"Branch sequence?" Lu Yan became increasingly curious.

"That's right, it's a branching sequence."

Yao Xiangyang patiently explained, "Although the original path has collapsed, it has branched out into many new paths."

"These paths are hidden within the primordial potion and can only be found by analyzing them using special methods."

Lu Yan suddenly realized that compared to the original sequence where the path was cut off, the branch sequence was obviously more suitable for the current environment.

No one would have imagined that Muyun Technology would lose something so important.

No, it's not just Muyun Technology; the entire 056 shelter has probably been corrupted to the point of being almost completely destroyed by the cultists of the Ghost God.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of Fang Xiu, the third leader of the Black Dog Gang.

"Teacher, I have some information, but I don't know if it will be of any use."

Lu Yan told Yao Xiangyang about his discoveries at the Black Dog Gang and the attack he had just been launched by the mysterious man.

"The manipulation is bizarre..."

Yao Xiangyang nodded slightly, his expression darkening.

He had been busy helping Yao Qing stabilize her cultivation level these past few days, and only this morning did he learn that a lot of strange things had happened in the shelter.

Now, based on what Lu Yan said, it is clear that a follower of a strange god who can control eerie beings has infiltrated the area.

"It seems we really can't tolerate this any longer!"

Yao Xiangyang's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if he had made up his mind.

"This is your next room. If you need anything, just give me a call and someone will bring it up."

Yao Xiangyang led Lu Yan to a door, then suddenly his expression turned serious. He said, "Your senior sister lives across the hall. She's currently in seclusion. Don't disturb her unless it's absolutely necessary."

"What's wrong?"

"You're not allowed to go either!"

Lu Yan smacked his lips. His teacher was completely hopeless. He silently mourned for his teacher's future son-in-law for three seconds.

After arranging Lu Yan's accommodation, Yao Xiangyang left in a hurry.

These past few days he's been busy helping Yao Qing stabilize her cultivation level, and the Judgment Department has accumulated a lot of work.

Especially in the last few days, strange things and believers have been constantly emerging, and he must make a decision as soon as possible.

Lu Yan watched Yao Xiangyang leave before opening the door.

Compared to the previous apartment-style dormitories, this place is significantly more luxurious, comparable to the presidential suite in my previous life.

However, for Lu Yan, these differences were not significant.

After briefly surveying the new environment, he immediately began his cultivation.

Although there is still plenty of time, judging from the teacher's words, Sequence 7 is probably just a safety net.

He hasn't triggered any new promotion conditions yet, so he needs to seize the time to cultivate.

……

The news that Lu Yan had been accepted as a disciple by Yao Xiangyang spread like wildfire.

Some questioned it, some envied it, and some... gritted their teeth!

That's roughly how it happened...

At Chen Li's home, the Shadow Serpent Messenger listened to Chen Li's report, his expression so gloomy it seemed as if water was about to drip from it.

"I dare to speculate that Lu Yan was a spy trained by Yao Xiangyang from the very beginning, with the purpose of sabotaging our god's plan."

"You don't need to analyze this; I can see it myself."

The Shadow Serpent Messenger's voice was icy as he said, "All I want to know now is how the Judgment Department found out about our stronghold."

Upon hearing this, Chen Li's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that the other party suspected him.

"As far as I know, Russell shared some of the credit with Lu Yan, it should be this Lu Yan..."

"That's enough!"

The Shadow Serpent Apostle impatiently interrupted Chen Li, saying, "I don't want to hear any more of this uncertain analysis. All I need is a result!"

"Even if Lu Yan is really that all-powerful, it's impossible for him to know all our plans."

The Shadow Serpent Apostle coldly stared at Chen Li, while a swarm of snakes danced in the shadows, gradually approaching him.

He never ignored Lu Yan's existence, but Lu Yan always managed to escape unscathed.

It's fine once or twice, but if it happens every time, it's hard to explain.

"My lord, I have absolutely not betrayed my god!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Li did not hesitate at all and immediately knelt down to admit his mistake.

"Your Excellency, please give me another chance! I will definitely deliver Lu Yan to you!"

The Shadow Serpent Messenger remained silent for a moment, but ultimately restrained his killing intent and slowly retreated into the shadows.

"This is your last chance. If you fail again..."

The Shadow Serpent Messenger slowly disappeared, and Chen Li's expression turned cold.

"Lu Yan...it seems we have no choice but to take the risk."

……

Similar incidents were happening simultaneously throughout the shelter, while Lu Yan, the "instigator" who caused all of this, was completely immersed in cultivation.

With sufficient funds as a foundation and no worries about his own safety, he was finally able to unleash his full potential by using his skills to distinguish truth from falsehood.

And the results were quite remarkable.

[The Floating Pagoda Breathing Technique - Mastered!]

[Gain the Trait - Suppressing Evil: Your Qi and Blood possess the ability to suppress strange and malevolent forces.]

[The Ghostly Meditation Method - Completed!]

[Gained Trait - Moonlight: Your mental energy has the effect of purifying mental pollution.]

The moment he gained the two properties, Lu Yan clearly felt subtle changes in his body and soul.

"The Bronze Cultivation Technique can actually imbue one's Qi and spiritual power with special attributes?"

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and quickly figured out the key to it.

The higher the rank, the more prerequisites are required for promotion.

Compared to the risks of cultivating other sequences, cultivation methods are obviously safer.

"However, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to cultivate to a high level and obtain special abilities."

Lu Yan shook his head, took out two more cultivation manuals from the Ghost Realm, and prepared to continue.

But after seeing the situation in the Ghost Realm, he put aside this idea.

The two camps, which were originally evenly matched, are now showing a one-sided trend.

Having devoured a large number of strange entities, the three little monsters' strength rapidly increased, and they were already close to the Sequence 8 realm.

Faced with the rapid improvement of the Three Little Ghosts, the Three Little Plants were clearly struggling to keep up.

"Is this the time to determine a winner?"

Lu Yan rubbed his chin, hesitating whether to intervene.

But just then, subtitles flashed before my eyes again.

The Floating Pagoda Breathing Technique, utterly disgusted by eerie energies, has decided to lend a helping hand to the three little plants!

[The Floating Pagoda Breathing Technique is fused with the Bloodstained Nut to obtain the Prison-Suppressing Nut!]

[After much contemplation, Youying, still deep in thought, decided to make her move.]

[By fusing the Ghostly Breathing Technique with the Blazing Sun Flower, we obtain the Sun and Moon Flower!]

[The Berserker Gunner, not to be outdone, actively absorbed the Starry Night Meditation Technique and the Gentle Breeze Breathing Technique, gaining the Gale Hunter!]

Suddenly, the appearance of the three small plants changed dramatically.

The Prison-Suppressing Nut continued to charge forward, its body flashing with crimson light, transforming into a crimson pagoda that firmly suppressed the three little monsters and the corrupted creature in place.

The originally glittering golden sunflower suddenly transformed into a moon disc, sprinkling down beams of moonlight that easily purified the eerie aura emanating from the three little monsters and transformed it into the purest spiritual energy.

The berserker no longer spewed out ordinary peas, but rather whirlwinds formed from gusts of wind, while his true form remained hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to pinpoint his location.

The three small plants transformed simultaneously, their fighting power increasing exponentially.

In the blink of an eye, the situation in the ghost realm suddenly reversed!
