“Coming over was just to confirm whether they had any clues or not,” Yan Yu answered calmly, “Now that we’ve confirmed they do have clues, if we were to follow them, there’s a high probability we’d find the flesh puppet left by the other party. If they cut off the connection in time, they’d be able to escape.”

“So, what do we do?” Ye Jun hadn’t expected that, after going around in circles, she’d wind up back at the initial problem and pondered, “Once a puppet’s connection is severed, it will rapidly decay to nothing, so we need a way to prevent the decay, and then we might have the chance to trace back to the original master.”

“There’s no need for complications,” Yan Yu said with a smile, “The methods in the Cultivation World are far beyond your imagination. Let’s go.”

He asked the two sisters to stay behind as liaisons and took Ye Jun back to the office building to find their leader, saying,

“We want to see one of the civilian cultivators who has confirmed registration, Li Zhikang.”

The leader had an impression of him, for he was the oldest cultivator among those who had signed up, already in his seventies, and replied,

“The registered cultivators should be undergoing a physical examination now. I’ll have my secretary take you to them.”

Joining the civil service required a physical examination, and civilian cultivators were no exception. In fact, the process was much more rigorous—a complete genetic sampling was to be done to confirm why these individuals could stumble onto the path of cultivation without any guidance.

However, Yan Yu dismissed this, knowing that the Spirit Root was indeed related to genetics, but the ability to cultivate was, in fact, unrelated to the Spirit Root. Trying to understand why these individuals could cultivate from a genetic standpoint would only introduce more confounding variables.

The two made their way to a nearby scientific research base, which was already quite close to Pingjing, and the security became increasingly strict.

Upon entering the base, they happened to encounter the cultivators lining up for a physical exam, sitting in the outside waiting room for their names to be called.

“Where’s Li Zhikang?” Yan Yu asked.

The cultivators all turned to look, and a female cultivator spoke up,

“He went in not long ago.”

“Okay, then let’s just wait here,” Yan Yu said, pulling Ye Jun to a seat in the waiting area.

Before the two had arrived, everyone was interested in chatting with each other. After all, civilian cultivators capable of reaching the Hua Fu Stage usually had high-level Mysterious Realms to provide the resources needed for cultivation. It would naturally be best if they could exchange resources… But now that Yan Yu, an Officially Trained Cultivator, had arrived, nobody was foolish enough to reveal “I have a Mysterious Realm” in front of an official, which would just attract undesirable attention.

After a while, someone couldn’t help but say,

“Why would a divine general of Lu Country like Yan Yu seek out that old man in his seventies? If it’s just about needing an enforcer, although I don’t dare say how powerful I am, I’m confident I could be of help.”

Yan Yu smiled at the person who had taken the initiative to offer assistance, saying,

“No need. He’s the only one who can help with my trouble.”

At this, everyone looked somewhat displeased.

It wasn’t that they bore any ill will towards Yan Yu, but rather a veiled hostility towards the elderly man: What kind of strength or Divine Skills could a man in his seventies possess to catch the eye of a divine general of Lu Country, making him come here specifically to find you?

Ye Jun was sitting beside Yan Yu, just as puzzled as everyone else.

But she had grown accustomed to Yan Yu’s enigmatic advantage. Back during the exchange competition at the Four Institutes, he was able to determine that she wouldn’t last long in Captain Liu’s team despite it being their first meeting. Thus, Ye Jun had unconditional, absolute trust in his insight and judgment.

Well, she owed him a favor anyway—might as well keep him company here.

Ye Jun elegantly crossed her legs, propped her cheek with one hand, and gently shook her head.

With the movement, the hairpin at the back of her head also swayed, and the hanging Jade tassel made a crisp sound.
