Chapter 5: Heterogeneous Origin Qi

No wonder that old fox Ren Hai didn't delay at all, sending the case file directly to their Demon Suppression Division.

Meng Lingyun sneered.

He casually set the case file down.

"Someone come in."

A Demon Exorcist walked into the room.

"What are the Division Chief's orders?" he said respectfully.

"Send this file to the Merit Hall and post it as a mission, set the difficulty at the eighth grade, and right, raise the Merit reward a bit."

"To save that old fox Ren Hai from saying we don't get things done."

"Also, after finishing this matter, call Meng Hao to me; tell him I have something to discuss with him, and don't delay."

Meng Lingyun stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently.

"Yes."

Watching the file leave, he felt calm in his heart.

This case was undoubtedly the work of a Weird, but he didn't take it to heart at all; after all, the people who died were members of a gang.

The Giant Wave Gang controlled the water transport and deserved to die.

Even if they were all wiped out, he wouldn't take it to heart. Not to mention a mere Second Gang Leader of the Giant Wave Gang.

If not for the fact that this was the work of a Weird, and constrained by the sacred duty of the Demon Suppression Division, he wouldn't even want to inquire about this matter.

Meng Lingyun looked toward Li Heng's residence, his face showing surprise.

What is this kid doing? Actually staying in seclusion for so long.

Thinking of Li Heng, Meng Lingyun couldn't help but recall the past.

At that time, he was hunting down a Weird and, passing through a desolate village, he encountered Li Heng struggling to survive.

At that time, he almost thought Li Heng was some kind of evil spirit.

He wanted to cut him down with one blade.

If it weren't for the fact that the kid was still quite clever and spoke up in a hurry.

I am afraid there would have been no future events.

After all, that desolate village was a famous ghost village in the past, until a great figure descended and wiped out the Weird within it.

From now, it is estimated to be about a year.

In one year, from a mortal who didn't even know martial arts, he transformed into a Martial Dao expert of the Nurturing Essence Realm.

This speed...

Meng Lingyun began to think, and finally reached an evaluation: average, merely the aptitude of an ordinary person.

If placed in an ordinary force or a low-class gang, this would absolutely be top-tier talent.

But here, they are the Demon Suppression Division!

The strongest violent organization in Great Li, where experts are as numerous as trees and geniuses are not rare, let alone this kind of ordinary aptitude.

Li Heng will sooner or later fade into the crowd.

This kid is not suitable to inherit his mantle.

Fortunately, he had already made preparations regarding this matter. It can only be said that Li Heng, this variable, cannot give him a surprise.

He saved Li Heng and brought him into the Demon Suppression Division.

He had his own selfish motives.

For example, inheriting his mantle, or his appearance matching his aesthetic, making him just right to be his successor.

After all, as the Division Chief of the Demon Suppression Division here, if he were just saving a person, how could he possibly bring him into the Demon Suppression Division?

After all, the Demon Suppression Division is not a place you can enter just because you want to.

Meng Lingyun withdrew his thoughts and thought of another matter.

"Twenty years have passed, another Node, I must be prepared." He muttered to himself.

At this moment, a knock sounded outside the door.

"Come in."

He slowly pushed the door and entered.

Coming into Meng Lingyun's view was a dashing young master, holding a paper fan in his hand, looking incomparably elegant.

This was Meng Lingyun's adopted son, Meng Hao.

Looking at Meng Hao, Meng Lingyun sighed in his heart.

Although Meng Hao's aptitude was stronger than Li Heng's, unfortunately, his appearance was still slightly inferior to Li Heng's. If only the two could complement each other. He muttered to himself like this.

"Father, I wonder what business you have with me?"

Meng Hao said with a smile.

"I have said it many times, this is the Demon Suppression Division."

Meng Lingyun frowned and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Meng Hao was silent, a flash of anger crossed his heart, and then he spoke slowly, looking very respectful.

"I wonder what important matter the Division Chief has for his subordinate?"

Meng Lingyun nodded with dignity.

"You come with me to the fourth floor of the Library; do not spread word of this matter, and it is not allowed for anyone to know, understand?"

He exhorted Meng Hao, making Meng Hao feel a surge of joy.

Meng Hao was excited in his heart; could it be that classic? After so long, is he finally qualified?

Subsequently, the two quickly arrived at the Library, directly bypassing the empty first floor and quickly heading to the fourth floor.

Another two or three days passed.

Li Heng's progress in Sun Visualization had already reached five percent, and his cultivation level rose accordingly.

It was clear that not long ago, he had only just broken through to the Essence Nourishing Realm.

Yet now, he had reached the Nurturing Essence Realm Peak.

Li Heng even felt that if he were willing, he could pierce through that seemingly non-existent barrier at any time.

He could directly advance to Foundation Establishment and step toward true transcendence.

However, he chose to pause for the time being.

The Essence Nourishing Realm is meant for nourishing Original Qi; this Original Qi can be the Original Qi within the body, or it can be the Original Qi from the outside world.

Nourishing the Original Qi within the body makes one's spirit complete and one's Qi sufficient!

Ordinary people all follow this path.

But some geniuses or lucky individuals have the ability, or the fortuitous encounter, to obtain exotic Original Qi from the outside world.

For example, Qingfeng Original Qi, Profound Earth Original Qi, Azure Heaven Original Qi, Sun Original Qi, Yin Original Qi, and so on.

These Original Qis are scattered between Heaven and Earth, gestated in various places with spiritual energy; if one can obtain even one type, that is a great fortuitous encounter!

By refining these exotic Original Qis into the body, one's own Original Qi can acquire the power of these exotic Original Qis.

For instance, the scorching heat of the Sun, or the frigid cold of the Yin.

It is enough to increase combat power by more than three times!

It can even serve as a foundation for one's future path, almost guaranteeing entry into the True Qi Realm and a rank as a Grandmaster.

And this was exactly the plan Li Heng had in mind.

Of course, he did not have such a fortuitous encounter, nor did he know the locations where these exotic Original Qis were gestated.

But he had the Visualization Supernatural Ability.

The object of his visualization happened to be the Sun!

He could completely visualize the Sun and use the Godly Intent of the Sun to infect his own Original Qi, allowing it to transform into Sun Original Qi.

In this way, he would not need to fight to the death or compete with others for the scarce exotic Original Qi.

In short, it was a direct path to winning while lying down.

Thinking of this, Li Heng smiled slightly.

Although his aptitude was average—neither good nor bad—it was just like himself as an ordinary person in his past life.

But he couldn't help it; he had a cheat!

Deep Blue, add points! Ahem...

With a movement of his mind, the Data Panel appeared before him.

Name: Li Heng

Cultivation: Nurturing Essence Realm Peak

Technique: Taiyuan Technique Level 1

Source Power: 10

Information: Sun Visualization progress 5%

Li Heng nodded.

This period of seclusion had fully met his expectations, and even exceeded them. Now, continuing to visualize further would yield nothing; this should be the limit of the Essence Nourishing Realm.

It was better to end his seclusion first.

He would take on some missions, earn some Merit, and then kill some Weird to earn some Source Power; after all, he was still a poor man.

In any case, the transformation of the Original Qi within his body was happening every moment, so there was no need to continue his seclusion.

Once his Original Qi finished transforming, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm would be a matter of course.

He opened the door that had been closed for several days.

Wisps of breeze blew past, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Li Heng stretched his body, and his joints cracked like the sound of tigers, leopards, and thunder, carrying a marvelous rhythm.

It was time to go earn some Merit, and while he was at it, go outside to eat something good; living in this world, one should not shortchange one's own stomach.

He strode toward the Merit Hall of the Demon Suppression Division.
