“Bureau of Management?”
“Is it an official force?”
Luo Feng wasn’t too surprised by this. If supernatural powers existed in this world, then the country couldn’t possibly be unaware.
Nor could they be without means and measures to deal with it.
The existence of corresponding institutional forces was within Luo Feng’s expectations.
“My name is Luo Feng. My Cultivation Technique was taught to me by an old Daoist. That day, I was jogging when I met an old Daoist. He said we were fated, then he tapped my head with his finger, and a Cultivation Technique for Immortals appeared in my mind,” Luo Feng fabricated casually.
For Luo Feng, who had written many failed web novels… he could come up with ten such excuses in a minute!
When Jiang Yun heard Luo Feng’s account, he was greatly shocked, “What?! It’s Divine Sense transmission of Cultivation Technique?! This is a method only available to Foundation Establishment Realm mighty figures!”
Foundation Establishment Realm? Mighty figure?
Luo Feng’s mouth twitched.
When did the Foundation Establishment Realm become a mighty Immortal Cultivator?
Well… in this age of declining Spiritual Qi, before its resurgence, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator might indeed seem no different from an Immortal in the eyes of ordinary people.
Jiang Yun’s face was solemn. “Yanbei Province hasn’t seen a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator for a long time. I wonder why this individual suddenly appeared here?”
“If they are just passing through, then it’s fine, but if they have ulterior motives, I’m afraid the entire Yanbei will experience a major earthquake!”
“Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?”
“Not at all. Ten years ago, there was a disaster caused by a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator! That time, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator suffered Qi Deviation and rampaged through a town in Yanbei, causing over a thousand deaths overnight! The Bureau of Management dispatched dozens of investigators to kill him!”
“A thousand deaths?”
Luo Feng gasped, never expecting such a shocking event to have occurred in a modern societal context!
“Why haven’t I heard of it?”
“No, you should have heard of it. The terrorist attack from abroad ten years ago was the explanation we gave to cover up this incident.”
Jiang Yun said indifferently.
Luo Feng remembered; there was indeed such an event ten years ago.
However, at that time, he was busy toiling and didn’t pay much attention.
“That Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator seemed quite amiable; he shouldn’t do such a thing,” Luo Feng said.
“Hmm, it’s best if he was just passing through. But for you to gain the appreciation of a Foundation Establishment Realm mighty figure is indeed extraordinary, and can be considered your Opportunity.”
Jiang Yun nodded, then smiled, “How about it? Do you want to join my Bureau of Management and become an investigator?”
“Are there any benefits?”
“A basic salary of thirty thousand! Of course, money is a worldly possession, not much to us. Most importantly, by joining the Bureau of Management and becoming an investigator, the door to the supernatural will open for you! Through the Bureau of Management, you can access various supernatural things you wouldn’t normally encounter!
And by completing tasks issued by the Bureau of Management, you can earn contribution points! These contribution points can be exchanged for various resources.
For example, Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, Spells, and so on, that are needed for Immortal Cultivation.”
Jiang Yun said.
Luo Feng was thoughtful. He wasn’t too concerned about Medicinal Pills or Cultivation Techniques.
After all, with Luo Yiyi at home, what Cultivation Technique couldn’t he get?
Not to mention, he also had the System.
By doing tasks, he could earn points and various Immortal Cultivation resources, without needing to join the Bureau of Management.
Wait.
Luo Feng suddenly thought of something. Joining the Bureau of Management would allow him to access more supernatural things, wouldn’t that give him more opportunities to trigger System tasks and earn points? And he could also get contribution points from the Bureau of Management… he could completely kill two birds with one stone!
“I can join the Bureau of Management, but I don’t want to be too restricted.”
“No problem. You can become an external investigator for my Bureau of Management. Although the benefits are fewer, you’ll have much more freedom! Many Loose Cultivators also choose to become external investigators for my Bureau of Management,” Jiang Yun said.
“Okay.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“Come, let’s first download the Bureau of Management APP and register. It contains various information about the current Immortal Cultivation world; you can go on it to learn more.”
Jiang Yun gave Luo Feng a website to download an APP.
After taking a photo with him and uploading it to the APP’s backend, and passing identity verification, Luo Feng quickly became an external member of the Bureau of Management.
The procedures were not cumbersome.
In fact, they could be said to be very simple.
“Alright, my mission is complete. You can contact me if you need anything.”
Jiang Yun said, then turned and left.
Luo Feng also went home.
On his way back, he browsed through the Bureau of Management APP.
It had several modules.
Such as a task hall, exchange shop, and an Immortal Cultivation forum.
Luo Feng read many posts on the Immortal Cultivation forum.
Only then did he realize that many Immortal Cultivators were secretly hidden in Great Xia. These people were concealed within cities, using various identities as cover.
Students, teachers, elite white-collar workers… even a delivery person could potentially be a hidden Immortal Cultivator.
Of course, most of these so-called Immortal Cultivators were still in the Body Tempering Realm. Those who could awaken their Spiritual Root were already considered experts.
Those who Advanced to the Qi Refining Realm could be called big shots!
As for Foundation Establishment Realm… as Jiang Yun said, they were already at the mighty figure level!
Luo Feng scrolled through the forum for a while, then didn’t pay it much mind.
He returned home and told Luo Yiyi and the others about the Bureau of Management.
Luo Yiyi looked like she already knew. She thought to herself, “The Bureau of Management has existed for a long time, but it won’t be truly exposed until a year later when Spiritual Qi recovers and a large number of people are forcibly enlightened!
I didn’t expect them to approach Dad at this critical juncture.
If I remember correctly, the highest-cultivated person in the Bureau of Management at this time should be a director who is a half-step Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!
That director should be in the imperial capital now, so there’s no need to worry about them harming Dad. Besides, a half-step Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator is nothing!
In less than half a year, no, three months! I can completely surpass him!”
Luo Yiyi thought to herself. As a mighty figure of Undergoing Tribulation who had returned through Rebirth, how could she lack such confidence?
Night.
Li Qingxue sat on the balcony of her home, bathed in moonlight.
She was attempting to cultivate the Grand Yin Scripture that Luo Yiyi had given her!
Not far away on the sofa, Luo Feng, Li Yunshuang, and Luo Yiyi were watching.
“Yi Yi, it’s your mother’s first time cultivating, can she succeed?”
Luo Feng asked.
“I don’t know, but there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance she’ll fail. Ordinary ghost cultivators usually have to try dozens or even hundreds of times before they can absorb the power of the moon into their bodies! Let alone an Advanced ghost Cultivation Technique like the Grand Yin Scripture.”
Luo Yiyi said, “Dad, you should prepare to comfort Mom.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Luo Feng nodded.
At this moment, the power of the moon in the sky fell upon Li Qingxue, condensing into a white stream of lunar essence above her head, which then entered her body!
Luo Yiyi’s eyes widened, “S-she succeeded??”
She found it a bit unbelievable.
And it wasn’t over yet.
Li Qingxue absorbed more and more of the moon’s power, and suddenly, a black light burst from her body, soaring into the sky!
This black light actually obscured the bright moon in the sky.
For a moment, the world was without light!
Looking at Li Qingxue again, an eerie purple light gleamed in her eyes, and her entire soul body released an unparalleled, bizarre pressure!
Just like a high and mighty Ghost King!
Luo Yiyi was stunned.
“A celestial dog eating the moon… this, this is the Ghost King Body?!”
