Chapter 272 Is there a black hand behind the scenes?
"Hey, Xiaofan, come here."
Jing Shizhen suddenly stared at Su Xiaofan, and there was something wrong in her eyes.
"Where's your cultivation level?"
Jing Shizhen finally discovered that Su Xiaofan in front of him had no spiritual energy fluctuations at all.
Although the gap in cultivation is too big, and I couldn't sense Su Xiaofan's cultivation realm before, I can still feel it to some extent.
But at this moment, Jing Shizhen discovered that Su Xiaofan was just like an ordinary person, with no trace of the characteristics of a cultivator in his body.
"Master, you are not cultivated enough to feel my realm!"
Su Xiaofan smiled and did not tell the truth.
Ever since he felt that there seemed to be a dark hand behind Earth's cultivator civilization, he became more vigilant and tried not to expose his current situation.
"You brat, why are you talking to Master?"
Jing Shizhen's eyes widened when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was indeed a little far behind Su Xiaofan.
Looking at his disciple, Jing Shizhen was also a little sad. More than two years ago, Su Xiaofan was an ordinary person, but now his cultivation level has actually made him disappear.
"Okay, I'm going out first. You can practice in peace. If you need any resources, come out and tell me."
Su Xiaofan glanced at everyone, thought for a moment and then said: "I will send you some beef in a few days. Duobao, the Great Sage will be left to you!"
"Meow..."
Duobao nodded his big head, but he was still a cat after all, and compared to the giant ape, the lethality of this cry was much less powerful.
"Dad, the Great Sage is wild and untamable, please be more careful."
Su Xiaofan's voice rang in his father's ears. The giant ape surrendered to him. If he went out and went crazy inside, he might hurt his sister and others.
"It's okay, I'm here, don't worry."
Su Weixuan nodded, "You should pay more attention to your own situation. If you need spiritual energy, just come in and we can let you out."
Su Weixuan knew the terrifying scene when his son absorbed energy. Even the thunder clouds in the Devil's Valley were completely absorbed. The little spiritual energy in the blessed land was probably not enough for his cultivation.
"Ok, I know."
Su Xiaofan agreed without saying anything more.
Su Xiaofan knew very well that what he needed after converting to planet-level exercises was no longer spiritual energy or energy from the earth.
What Su Xiaofan needs now is the energy of the cosmic starry sky. Only with the energy of the cosmic starry sky can he step into the last step of the planetary technique and condense his first acupoint.
However, Su Xiaofan was not in a hurry, especially after he felt that there was a black hand behind the earth, he became more and more cautious, trying not to let others notice him.
After bidding farewell to the others and leaving the restricted area, Su Xiaofan drove back to Jinghu Lake.
Xuan Rui was naturally very happy to see her son back, but she also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Su Xiaofan's health.
In desperation, Su Xiaofan used the excuse that his mother's cultivation level was too low to fool her. Xuanrui was not very enthusiastic about practicing Taoism, but she easily believed her son's words.
After resting at home for a night, Su Xiaofan went to Brother Gang's house for a visit the next day. They all lived in the same community, and it was indeed much more convenient to get around.
Brother Gang was originally going to go to the restricted area to practice with Uncle Jing, but the old man at home has developed a sense of Qi in the past few days, so Brother Gang stayed.
Father Zheng used to like to do Tai Chi to keep fit, and his health has always been good.
Moreover, in the past year or so, Father Zheng has also eaten a lot of extraordinary meat sent by Su Xiaofan, and his physique has changed rapidly, and he has become the second Qi-training practitioner in the Zheng family.
For Brother Gang and others, including his sister, Su Xiaofan had no intention of letting them change their skills.
Su Xiaofan will not consider these things until the earth becomes a true cosmic civilization, the mastermind behind the scenes appears and is solved, and the disappearance of the ancient cultivators is clarified.
It’s just that Su Xiaofan knows that you shouldn’t be anxious about these things. If you are anxious, you will easily expose your flaws.
So in the next few days, Su Xiaofan did nothing. He watched TV dramas with his old mother every day, or drove to the antique market in Luochuan for a day and lived a life like ordinary people.
On the third day, the old man of the Zheng family and Brother Gang were going to the blessed land to practice, and Su Xiaofan sent them there.
The giant ape was quite honest in the blessed land and stayed in Su Weixuan's yard every day to absorb spiritual energy.
It is not far away from the holy level. Now it spends most of its time sleeping, and it should start to evolve soon.
After settling Brother Gang and his son, Su Xiaofan left the penalty area again. Now it doesn't make much sense for him to stay in the penalty area.
Recently, Su Xiaofan fell in love with fishing. In addition to visiting his disciples every day, he would take a fishing rod to the edge of Jinghu Lake and sometimes sit there for the whole day.
However, a week later, the tranquility of Jinghu Community was broken again. Eight ten-ton refrigerated trucks drove into the community one after another and stopped at the door of Su Xiaofan's villa.
"Minister Hua, I would like to ask you to make a trip again."
Seeing Hualong getting off the car in front of him, Su Xiaofan stepped forward to greet him.
"I deserve it. If you give me a restricted area, it's nothing for me to go all the way."
Apart from feeling a little sorry for Su Xiaofan's cultivation, Hualong was in a really good mood.
After experiencing a battle between Su Xiaofan and the bull demon in the Death Forbidden Zone.
Although the lightning-struck wood, thunder, spirit flowers and other training resources in the restricted area were completely destroyed, the troublesome thunder clouds also disappeared, and there would no longer be frequent thunder bombardment scenes.
Therefore, the current death restricted area is very suitable for human cultivators to practice.
Moreover, the spiritual energy of this forbidden area is abundant, even higher than that of many large forbidden areas. After Su Xiaofan left, three Yang Shen cultivators were stationed in it.
Han Zhongli is one of the people who stayed, where his cultivation can be restored faster.
The ancestor of the Sword Sect also stayed. First, he needed to help Su Xiaofan break down the old cow. The old cow, which was more than 20 meters tall, could not be broken down in a day or two.
Secondly, although Jian Zong has a newly conquered restricted area as its base.
However, the Sword Sect now has several Yangshen, and is in a situation where there are too many monks and too few monks. The ancestor moved to another place to practice, which gave the Sword Sect's disciples more opportunities to absorb spiritual energy.
"Xiao Fan, the meat with bones and internal organs removed totals more than 80,000 kilograms, and I have brought it to you."
Hualong pointed to the refrigerated truck at the back and said, "If you can't fit in the cold storage here, would you like me to help you arrange a cold storage in the city?"
"No, Minister Hua, let someone move it in."
Su Xiaofan shook his head and said: "My cold storage is built according to the standard of one hundred thousand kilograms, so it should be able to hold it."
Su Xiaofan had no intention of putting all the meat in the cold storage. The mustard space in his body now is big enough to fit an old cow directly into it.
"Let him not move it. Let's sit in the house and taste how the beef tastes at noon."
Su Xiaofan invited: "In addition, I have some things I want to ask Minister Xia Hua."
"Okay, every time I come to your place, I'm always in for a treat."
Hualong naturally had no reason to refuse, "By the way, wait a minute, I have something to give you."
Hualong turned around and took out a huge package from another container truck. The package was wrapped in canvas and was about six meters wide.
"Actually, I came a few days late. I mainly wanted to help you make this stuff."
Hualong carried the huge package on his shoulders. If people from relevant departments saw that their leader would do such a thing, they would be shocked.
"Is it that yak hide?" Su Xiaofan didn't expect Hualong to actually bring this thing.
"Yes, there are also horns. I'll have them delivered to your house later."
Hualong said sheepishly: "Xiaofan, we also took advantage of you. We kept the bones and internal organs of this bull demon, which can be used for making elixirs or refining weapons.
This advantage is not in vain, you can ask for any elixirs you need and I will have them delivered right away."
"It's okay, I want those things for no use, you can keep them."
Su Xiaofan said nonchalantly that these external objects would not have much effect on him, but he could ask Hualong for some elixirs for the master and others to take later.
Su Xiaofan asked Hualong to throw the large bag of yak skin in the yard. Although it had been salted, it still had an indelible smell. If it was placed in the house, the smell would become very sour.
Someone under Hualong was already arranging to transport the beef into the cold storage, and there were two foundation-building cultivators, each carrying a horn and delivering it to the living room.
Fortunately, the living room in Su Xiaofan's villa was large enough, because the complete horn, even if it was shaped like a curved bow, was seven or eight meters long.
The other one was cut off in half by Su Xiaofan, but it was still about four or five meters tall. The two horns were placed in the middle of the living room, and it actually exuded a hint of menace.
"By the way, there is another object, which is also a good thing."
Hualong suddenly remembered, ran out of the living room, and took out a box from the car.
"This is a tendon pulled out from the back of an old cow..."
Hua Long opened the box and introduced: "Senior Ancestor's flying sword can't even cut through this beef tendon. Senior Han Zhong Li said that we can keep it for refining."
"Well, thank you, Minister Hua, this is good stuff."
Su Xiaofan stared at the beef tendon with a smile on his face.
[Yak tendon: a weapon refining material, which can be used to make dragon-tying ropes! 】
[Refining the Dragon Binding Rope requires 3000 points of repair value. Will it be deducted? 】
Two pieces of information appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind. In front of Hualong, Su Xiaofan naturally would not choose to refine it, but just put away the box containing yak tendon.
Some time ago, Su Xiaofan was still worried about giving his mother a self-defense weapon. Now this bundle of dragon rope is good and suitable for female cultivators.
However, after refining the Dragon Binding Rope, Su Xiaofan's repair value was really about to bottom out. Regarding the meteorite, he still had to urge Hualong.
"Xiaofan, I have asked people to collect meteorites from all over the country.
In addition, I also asked various meteorological monitoring departments to provide the location where the meteorite fell and sent people out to search."
Before Su Xiaofan could bring up the matter of the meteorite, Hualong spoke first. Now that his authority had increased greatly, as long as he gave orders, someone would take care of it.
"Well, it's best to trade all the meteorites from abroad."
Su Xiaofan nodded, "Mr. Hua, just tell me what the price is."
"This matter is already being handled, but not so quickly. There will be news in a few days."
Hualong nodded. Being able to create and run relevant departments for many years, he was certainly not the kind of person who would burn bridges by crossing rivers.
Su Xiaofan has lost all his cultivation this time, but he is still contributing to the relevant departments. As long as Su Xiaofan proposes something, Hualong will try his best to do it.
"By the way, Minister Hua, I have another question to ask."
Su Xiaofan glanced around. His mother was watching TV shows in her room and had no consciousness to pay attention to the two people in the living room.
"Minister Hua, I want to know if there is anything like Area 51 in our country?"
Su Xiaofan spoke out about this issue that had troubled him for a long time, because it might be related to the mastermind behind the earth, or at worst, he was spying on the enemy of the earth.
"You know Area 51?"
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Hua Long's attitude changed, but then he smiled bitterly, "Old Meijing did something like taking off her pants and farting. I'm afraid the whole world knows about Area 51."
"Does Minister Hua mean yes?"
Su Xiaofan's eyes narrowed, "Mr. Hua, I absorb the energy of the stars. I am very curious about alien civilization. I wonder if you can let me see the research in this area?"
"Xiaofan, if you had told me about this half a year ago, I would have been helpless. But now, I will try to find a way to arrange it." Hua Long laughed when he heard this.
Research on extraterrestrial civilizations has actually been carried out in several major countries.
The earliest one was the beautiful country. They obtained the objects left by extraterrestrial civilization on the earth more than a hundred years ago, and built Area 51 to start secret research.
China, on the other hand, began to conduct research on extraterrestrial civilizations half a century ago. In recent decades, China's science and technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it must be said that it is inseparable from the research on extraterrestrial civilizations.
In China, information about extraterrestrial civilizations is the top secret among the top secrets, and the management of researchers is even stricter than when the big bomb was made.
Although Hualong knew something about the study of extraterrestrial civilizations before, the department was different and he had no authority to interfere.
It was in the past few months that Hualong entered China's decision-making level and became fully aware of the relevant research on extraterrestrial civilization research.
"Thank you very much, Minister Hua. I hope you can make arrangements as soon as possible."
What Su Xiaofan wants to know most is whether China has obtained the energy crystal of extraterrestrial civilization. If so, Su Xiaofan will get it no matter what.
Repair the Everything Mall in the system. Due to the incomplete system, Su Xiaofan can only see and buy nothing else except planetary exercises.
This is far from the name of the Mall of All Things. Su Xiaofan believes that if the system can be fully restored, there may really be thousands of cosmic cultural relics that can appear in the mall.
At that time, as long as there is repair value and some advanced civilization technology is purchased, the earth will have a cross-era development.
If the earth can integrate with cosmic civilization and become a member of cosmic civilization, then Su Xiaofan will no longer have to worry about alien civilizations peeking at the earth.
However, Su Xiaofan has a feeling that the technology of extraterrestrial civilizations obtained on the earth is not the same thing as the black hands behind the cultivator civilization. They are a bit like two forces.
Looking at the earth, a force that has not yet entered the starry sky and the universe should not be very powerful. In Su Xiaofan's opinion, it is at best a first-level and second-level cosmic civilization.
But the black hand behind the cultivator civilization is most likely an advanced civilization, otherwise it would not have the earth in its hands, and it has not been discovered by the ancient cultivators.
"I'll make arrangements when I get back."
Hualong saw that Su Xiaofan attached great importance to this matter, and immediately said: "But Xiaofan, this matter is very important. I need time to communicate with some people, so don't worry about it now."
The department that manages the study of extraterrestrial civilizations was originally at a higher level than the relevant departments.
However, recently, due to the revival of spiritual energy and the cultivation of the whole people, Hua Long's status has been promoted like a helicopter, and he is now able to take charge of that department.
Just arranging outsiders to enter China's most important scientific research institution is not the decision of Hualong alone. Su Xiaofan must be allowed in with the consent of everyone at the decision-making level.
"Okay, then I'll wait here for news from Minister Hua."
Su Xiaofan nodded, haste makes waste in everything, he was not very anxious about this matter.
"By the way, Minister Hua, can I go up and have a look at our space station?"
Su Xiaofan changed the topic and made a request that made Hualong stunned.
"Xiao Fan, you...what kind of trouble are you trying to make?"
After hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Hualong wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Su Xiaofan. The requirement to participate in the study of status civilization already made Hualong uncomfortable, and now he actually wanted to go into space.
You know, China's space science research has progressed rapidly in recent years. It has independently built a space station, and several astronauts have indeed taken turns to enter the space station to carry out scientific research projects.
But those astronauts are researchers who have undergone rigorous training and have rich scientific research knowledge, but Su Xiaofan has nothing to do with these.
"Don't I think I can absorb the energy of the stars? I want to try out in space to see if I can absorb the energy of the universe."
What Su Xiaofan said was half-truth and half-false. The idea of absorbing starry sky energy was naturally made up, but wanting to enter space to absorb cosmic energy was true.
Now Su Xiaofan is only one step away from planet-level life. This step is to integrate into the energy of the universe and open up the first acupuncture point in the body.
Although Su Xiaofan's current spiritual consciousness cultivation level is no longer able to read, he can reach wherever he can with his mind.
So a few nights ago, Su Xiaofan secretly went to high altitude once. He wanted to try whether he could physically enter the universe.
But when Su Xiaofan came to the edge of the atmosphere, he felt a fatal threat.
Su Xiaofan felt that with his current level of cultivation, if he forced his way through the atmosphere, he would most likely die.
But without leaving the atmosphere, Su Xiaofan would not be able to practice the last step of the planetary technique and become a true planet-level life.
Su Xiaofan felt that this might be the mastermind behind the civilization of cultivators, a shackles on cultivators on earth, using the atmosphere to isolate cultivators from exploring space.
However, the mastermind behind the scenes most likely did not expect that in just over a hundred years, Earth's civilization would use technology to break through this shackles and enter space.
Now that the earth's spiritual energy is recovering, Su Xiaofan suspects that it is most likely caused by the mastermind behind the scenes.
The purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is to cut off the earth's technology and allow the earth's development trajectory to re-enter the cultivator civilization.
"This matter is not easy to handle."
Hualong pinched his eyebrows and said with some worry: "Even if you are allowed to go to space, it is unlikely that you will be allowed to travel in space without wearing a space suit.
If something happens to you, or if something happens to the space station, then I will take the blame."
It is not impossible for Hualong to let Su Xiaofan join the next rotation of the space station.
Su Xiaofan has a clean financial background and has made many contributions to China. It is absolutely impossible for him to do anything that would endanger the country. With these factors in mind, Hualong has the means to send Su Xiaofan into space.
But Su Xiaofan went to space because he wanted to absorb the energy of the universe, which exceeded the aerospace department's management requirements for astronauts.
Moreover, the country has spent countless financial, material and manpower building the space station. If it is damaged, even Hualong cannot afford the consequences.
"Then I'll conduct the experiment in a space suit."
Su Xiaofan said sincerely that as long as he goes into space, he is free to do whatever he wants. Wearing a spacesuit isolates the energy of the universe, and he still absorbs shit.
But when the time comes, Su Xiaofan only needs to leave the space station farther away and then start absorbing cosmic energy. I believe it will not harm the safety of the space station.
"Don't worry about this. The next space rotation will be in half a year, so I have to think about it..."
Hualong could not agree to Su Xiaofan's request now. In fact, he already regretted taking this trip. The two things Su Xiaofan raised made Hualong scratch his head.
