“Exactly, that’s why we need your help in adjusting the matter.”
After Lan Haitian finished speaking, the top of the Spiritual Peak fell into silence.
After a while, Shi Qing’s voice responded.
“The students designated for the Jumang Daoist Academy, I can’t intervene. Shang Qing should know about this matter, you go and discuss it with her.”
“I’ve discussed it with her, but her attitude is very firm. I’m afraid we need you to personally speak to her.”
“Understood, summon her in my name.”
After getting approval from Master Shi Qing, Lan Haitian immediately made a phone call to the representative of the Jumang Daoist Academy who was visiting Red Sandstone City.
The call was directly hung up. He awkwardly sent a text message.
In a short while, an ordinary-looking woman with a rustic appearance arrived. She initially gave Lan Haitian a disgusted glance, then respectfully saluted Master Shi Qing inside the hut.
“Shang Qing pays her respects to the Master.”
!!..
“Qing Nu is possibly related to the Forbidden Technique of the Purple Cloud Palace and may have been implanted with a God Seed. Lan Haitian wants to bring her into the Kunpeng Daoist Institute for personal protection. What do you think?”
At Shi Qing’s level of cultivation and status, there was no need to beat around the bush. He went straight to the point.
“It’s only a possibility after all. If there was definite evidence, I would have no objections. Moreover, even if she was really implanted with a God Seed, wouldn’t it be better to send her to the Imperial Medical Academy?”
Shang Qing did not directly object but tactfully expressed her refusal.
“Well, I understand. Let it be then.”
Shi Qing didn’t exert his authority either. After all, what Shang Qing said made sense as things were just a possibility.
Left with no other option, Lan Haitian could only sigh regretfully. He felt that Gu Changfeng had stepped onto a promising path and had secured a good future for his disciple in advance.
However, this leads didn’t necessarily have to stop here.
With such thoughts, Lan Haitian and Shang Qing took their leave from the Spiritual Peak.
After dinner, Chen Mobai was planning to search online for more information about the Forbidden Technique when he received a call from an unknown number.
“Hello, this is Lan Haitian.”
“How did you get my number?”
Chen Mobai was surprised. He barely knew this man.
“Didn’t you leave your number at the police station? I asked them for it.”
“Are you a Law Enforcement Cultivator?”
Chen Mobai was startled, thinking that his secret was discovered. However, he soon composed himself, realizing that it must be about Gu Changfeng.
“There’s something I might need your help with. I’m at the Evergreen Pharmacy waiting for you. You can come in through the back door. I have already opened it.”
After saying that, Lan Haitian hung up. Chen Mobai was taken aback but soon realized that he didn’t have any options given Lan Haitian was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and possibly a cultivator from the Law Enforcement Division.
Eventually, he took a deep breath, changed into a black sweatshirt, and told his mom that he was going to take a walk.
Evergreen Pharmacy.
Chen Mobai made his way to the back door according to the instructions. The seal tape had been removed, and the door was slightly ajar.
“Come in.”
Lan Haitian’s voice sounded from inside. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment before he pushed open the door and entered.
The familiar yard, the medicine vats placed around, but all the medicinal liquid inside them had been drained out, leaving them empty.
Lan Haitian was sitting on the edge of the vat in the center, swinging his legs and looking up at the gradually darkening sky.
“What matter does the senior want to discuss with me?”
“If Gu Changfeng has cultivated a Forbidden Technique, your little girlfriend might be the intended furnace. Do you want to save her?”
As expected, it wasn’t about the secret of the turtle shell he had been called for. As his suspicions were confirmed, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn’t want Lan Haitian to know that he was relieved. Luckily he had been wearing a hat ever since he entered. The light was dim, and half of his face was hidden by the hoodie.
“She and I are just ordinary friends. Still, I would definitely want to save her if I could.”
He proceeded according to what Lan Haitian had said.
“Almost all Foundation Establishment Cultivators can’t resist the temptation of a Forbidden Technique. Although Gu Changfeng has not demonstrated it yet, when I tested his Divine Consciousness Intensity at the police station, I found that it far exceeded his actual realm. It can be confirmed that he has cultivated the Devour God Technique.”
“And a thing like a Forbidden Technique, once one starts cultivating it, it’s very hard to stop. In the end, they will inevitably tread the evil path of preparing a furnace and implanting a God Seed.”
“The final fate of the Furnace is pretty much worse than death.”
Having said that, Lan Haitian, who was sitting on the edge of the medicine vat, lowered his head. Chen Mobai, who was standing at the door, looked at him, suppressing various emotions in his heart and pretending to be reluctant.
“If you were a Law Enforcement Cultivator, I would definitely cooperate. But you’re too suspicious, and I don’t trust you.”
“I’m not a Law Enforcement Cultivator.” Lan Haitian replied. He jumped off the medicine vat and walked towards Chen Mobai. Just when Chen Mobai’s heart was pounding and thought he was about to be threatened, Lan Haitian suddenly spoke again, “I’m from the Regular Law Hall.”
The three Great Halls of the Daoist Academy!
The Xianwu Hall, Regular Law Hall, and Kaiyuan Hall!
Among them, the Regular Law Hall holds all the military power of the Daoist Academy. When necessary, even the Law Enforcement Department falls under their jurisdiction.
“This… do you have a way to prove it?”
Chen Mobai was still pretending to be doubtful. Lan Haitian actually unlocked his phone and showed him his credentials.
“This is my Jurist number in the Regular Law Hall. If you say that I got it made in a fake ID shop, then I really can’t prove it.”
After glancing at it, Chen Mobai pretended to reluctantly concede and nodded.
“Alright, tell me what I should do.”
“You can keep an eye on your friend’s mental state. If she suddenly becomes absent-minded or loses her sanity one day, you can inform me.”
“I observed that Master Qing Nu expelled her from the teacher’s door in advance. She seemed to want to protect her; she doesn’t seem like a bad person.”
“You simply don’t know the temptation of a Forbidden Technique. It can turn a sheep into a wolf.”
Chen Mobai swallowed, and at this moment, Lan Haitian had passed him and was heading towards the back door.
“How should I contact you?”
“Didn’t I call you already? That’s my number, make sure you save it.” Lan Haitian’s voice came from behind. Chen Mobai turned around but he had already disappeared. The final words being, “When you leave, remember to put the seal tape back..”
