The two of them arrived in front of a building in the city center of Baishan City. Zhao Aiguo swiped his card and drove into the parking lot of the building. Lin Yi followed quietly.
They took the elevator from the parking lot to the first floor. When the elevator opened, they saw the scene on the first floor. It was a very ordinary reception hall, and several young women in work clothes were sitting in the reception seats not far away.
Zhao Aiguo brought Lin Yi to the reception area and said to one of the women, “Go register.”
The woman knew Zhao Aiguo. She teased him when she heard Zhao Aiguo’s words, “Captain Zhao, you’ve discovered a new seedling. Your luck is too good. I’ll register him as a martial artist immediately.”
“No, register as a cultivator.”
As soon as he said this, the other staff members who were busy with work all turned their heads and looked at Zhao Aiguo and Lin Yi beside him in shock.
“Captain Zhao, are you sure it’s a registration for a cultivator?” The woman was stunned for a moment before confirming again.
Zhao Aiguo laughed. “How can I lie to you? Hurry up and register. Stop dawdling.”
“Alright, alright, alright.” The woman didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly operated the computer. “Please take the second elevator and head to the third floor to undergo the cultivator test. Only by passing the test will you be able to enjoy the benefits of being a cultivator.”
“Let’s go.” Zhao Aiguo led Lin Yi to the second elevator and went up to the third floor. The moment the door opened, a spherical object placed in a glass box came into view.
A staff member walked down from the fourth floor and asked curiously, “Captain Zhao, are you sure you’re not making fun of us? Let me tell you, there hasn’t been a single mistake with this spirit-testing ball. Even if you take the test again, the result will still be the same.”
Zhao Aiguo’s expression darkened. “What are you thinking about? It’s my nephew’s test, not mine. Of course, I know that I don’t have any cultivation talent.”
“It’s this person?” The staff nodded. When he noticed the indifferent aura that Lin Yi unconsciously exuded, he became serious. This person really seemed to be a cultivator!
He opened the glass box and gently took out the ball-shaped object inside. “This is a product of the research institute, the spirit testing ball. You only need to place your hand on it to see if you can cultivate and if you have spiritual energy in your body.”
“Sir, please place your hand on it.”
Lin Yi nodded, feeling a little emotional in his heart. He didn’t expect that the country had really combined modern technology and cultivation. Moreover, they had clear research results and weren’t just talking nonsense.
He pressed his hand on it. As soon as his palm touched the spirit testing ball, a green glow appeared inside. Just by looking at this pure green glow, one would feel that it was brimming with vitality.
“That’s right. He’s a cultivator and has cultivated wood-attribute spirit energy.” The staff member’s gaze was a little complicated. There was envy for Lin Yi, but also a faint unwillingness.
However, he quickly composed himself and said to Lin Yi, “Please move to the top floor, Mr. Lin. Our chief wants to see you.”
“Chief?” Lin Yi frowned.
Why would the higher-ups look for a newcomer like him?
“Don’t worry, it’s about the donation policy. Things related to cultivators are very precious at the moment, and ordinary people won’t be able to come into contact with them. Director Wang will explain it to you in detail.” Zhao Aiguo explained in a timely manner, “Don’t worry, Director Wang is famous for being upright. Moreover, don’t you still have me? There’s nothing for you to worry about.”
So that was the case. Lin Yi nodded in understanding and felt relieved.
Seeing that Zhao Aiguo was accompanying him, the staff didn’t come up. Zhao Aiguo brought Lin Yi to the top floor and arrived in front of an office.
“Chief, we’ve invited him.” Zhao Aiguo knocked on the door.
“Come in.” A powerful voice sounded from inside.
Zhao Aiguo pushed open the door, and Lin Yi, who was following behind, saw a tall figure sitting cross-legged in cultivation.
The tall figure’s muscles were coiled, and his entire body emitted a powerful aura. He let out a long breath, and the air in the entire office seemed to be stirred by him.
Wang Yuande stood up and looked at Lin Yi. “I’m very happy that you want to join our Supernatural Bureau. Last night, Old Zhao roughly told me about your situation. With your conditions, joining us won’t be a problem at all.”
“Now, I have a routine question for you. Are you willing to donate cultivation arts to our Supernatural Bureau? Don’t answer me immediately. I’ll show you something. You can answer after you’ve read everything.”
As he spoke, Wang Yuande passed the tablet computer on his desk to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi raised his brows and opened it.
With just a glance, his expression turned solemn.
This was the name and brief introduction of all the cultivation manuals that the Supernatural Bureau had.
Lin Yi continued reading.
Brocade Cloud Pill Manual (incomplete), Poison Silkworm Art (incomplete), Turtle Armor Spirit Art (incomplete), Bug Insect Secretariat, Skynet Saber Manual (incomplete), Heavenly Origin Array Diagram (incomplete)…
There were many things, but most of the books had the word “incomplete” behind them. There weren’t many complete books. Moreover, only a few of them were cultivation arts, and the rest were mostly spells.
Cultivation arts were the core of cultivation. Without cultivation arts, one wouldn’t even know how to convert spiritual energy into spiritual power, let alone other things.
Even though they were all incomplete, Lin Yi was very tempted.
The memories he had obtained were too incomplete. Other than the [Azure Wood Scripture] core cultivation art, which wasn’t missing, the other memories were extremely fragmented. This was especially so for alchemy and array formations. Lin Yi didn’t understand these aspects at all.
Right now, he really wanted to set up a protective or concealment formation on Qifeng Mountain. All his belongings were in the small courtyard. Even though Little Black and the birds were watching, he still couldn’t help but feel worried every time he went out.
If he had an array formation, it would save him a lot of trouble. It was the same for pills. Spiritual plants and pills were the best combinations for cultivation.
“How is it? Are you interested in these secret manuals?” Wang Yuande saw Lin Yi’s expression and felt that there was a chance.
“To be honest, it’s only because the higher-ups place a lot of importance on cultivation arts that such a generous policy is born. However, you should also be clear that such an obvious loss-making policy definitely won’t last for long. As long as the higher-ups reach their target, perhaps today or tomorrow, this policy will be withdrawn.
“At that time, if you want to see these ancient books again, you can only use the expensive points to redeem them. Uncle Zhao will tell you what the points are later. You only need to know that things like points are very precious.”
“Of course, this is just a suggestion. It’s fine if you don’t want to exchange. I know how secretive the inheritance of cultivation sects is. If you can’t exchange, then forget it.”
Even though Wang Yuande tried to persuade him, his eyes were fixed on Lin Yi. He had a feeling that Lin Yi had a cultivation art that could be exchanged for, and Lin Yi had the intention to do so.
“Exchange!” Lin Yi said loudly.
He also had many broken cultivation arts in his mind.
