"The deputy chief of the Ninth Division, the one named Huang Yin, made a breakthrough this morning and was promoted to the fifth rank!"
"...It's amazing. I remember that Chief Shen of the Ninth Division is already in the fifth level. This time there is Huang Yin. It seems that the overall ranking of the Ninth Division within the system is going to rise again."
"Yeah, but that's not the key. The key point is that when she broke through, she shouted out the secret of her promotion!"
"The secret? What is it?"
"travel!"
…
…
Walking in the streets and alleys, Cheng Lin listened to the discussions among the monks from other departments in various courtyards and couldn't help but feel a headache.
In the current Xia Kingdom, the fifth-level realm is already regarded as a high-end combat power, so this is naturally a big deal.
Not to mention anything else, the leaders of the other five departments and bureaus rushed over to congratulate him.
Huang Yin was so happy that she couldn't close her legs and smiled at the congratulations from all parties. The words she shouted out also spread quickly.
“Travel can break the boundaries!”
If this sentence were said by a low-level monk, everyone would laugh, but if it were said by a newly promoted fifth-level monk, it would make people think deeply.
For a time, the "secret to break through the situation" spread like wildfire.
It can be expected that this "secret" will spread all over the country in the next few days.
As the "initiator", Cheng Lin was quite dumbfounded by this.
Back in the courtyard of Jiusi, the leaders of all major departments and bureaus had already left.
Cheng Lin opened the door and walked into the "office" in the middle. He saw Huang Yin alone in the room, holding a bottle of mineral water and drinking.
Seeing Cheng Lin walking in, she pursed her lips and said happily: "Xiao Lin is here."
He probably attributed the breakthrough to Cheng Lin to a certain extent, so even the title became closer to him.
Cheng Lin sighed and said: "Now all major departments and bureaus are talking about the possibility of breaking the border for tourism..."
"Really?" Huang Yin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly felt very annoyed. In her opinion, these secrets should have been slowly digested within the department, but in the end, because she was too excited when she made the breakthrough, she shouted it out casually. , the result became known to everyone, which made her feel that she had suffered a huge loss.
"Why didn't you stop me then?" Huang Yin complained.
Cheng Lin was silent, wondering how could you give me a chance to stop him... Cheng Lin didn't bother to explain Huang Yin's misunderstanding.
He naturally knew that Huang Yin's promotion had nothing to do with tourism, but was a natural thing. At most, this exploration played a catalytic role, but Huang Yin accidentally connected this matter with "tourism". It's really frustrating.
"Forget it, forget it, it's happened anyway, let's just think it's an advantage for them, alas," Huang Yin sighed quietly, cheered up again, and said, "Just pack up and prepare to return!"
…
…
Returning to Jiusi this time can be said to be a triumph of spring breeze, both in terms of material harvest and Huang Yin's breakthrough.
The only regret is that the number of high-grade magic cores found in the oasis is too small. This is naturally pushed to Bennett. As a certification, Bennett is also dead. This is a death without evidence. As for what happened after Bennett took it away The magic core... was naturally taken away by the "Black Shadow Giant".
Recalling what happened, Cheng Lin suddenly felt funny, what is this called? Someone gave me a pillow when I fell asleep.
Bennett and his group traveled across mountains and seas, from the Federation across the entire Atlantic Ocean to the Xia Kingdom, as if to kill him in order to solve his problem.
"What a good man."
Sitting on the return train, Cheng Lin felt sincerely.
Since we were not in a hurry to return to the bureau, we did not arrange a special flight. Considering that we would have to queue up to take the plane, Jiushi simply took the train east and transferred to another city to catch a plane.
After all the exploration, everyone was very tired and slept the whole way back. Cheng Lin leaned against the car window, squinting his eyes, rubbing his right hand, and silently summarizing the results.
"The harvest this time is mainly in two aspects. One is that I obtained enough magic cores from the desert projection... Well, the total number of elite-level magic cores is 291 pieces, which is nine pieces short... Just use spiritual ore to make up for it.
, we also have the corpses of the fifth-grade monsters, and then we just need to buy some gold powder and other sundries, and then we can try to perform the 'Spirit Gathering Ceremony'... I don't know how effective it will be."
"The other thing is the storage badge obtained from Bennett."
After Cheng Lin came back, he secretly tried many times, but he still had no clue. He didn't know how to remove it. As for what was left, there were the corpses of some monsters piled up in the spiritual world. Cheng Lin thought about it and decided to dig a hole and bury it.
It's better to eat it. It's wasteful to throw it away. It's better to use it to let the World Tree absorb it and then convert it into nutrients.
"Speaking of it, the concentration of spiritual energy in the spirit world has been steadily increasing during this period, and it is close to the concentration in reality. I don't know when the world tree will advance again. Maybe the spirit gathering ceremony can play some role? I can't say for sure.
"
Leaning by the window, Cheng Lin blocked the sun with blue curtains and watched the fields and wasteland passing by quickly outside the train, gradually becoming more and more expectant.
…
When they arrived at the next city and were about to transfer, a group of people from Jiusi just came out of the train station. Everyone suddenly raised their heads and looked at the sky!
Cheng Lin was holding his backpack, stopped, and suddenly looked up. He saw delicate and delicate aura fields slowly forming and rotating deep in the pupils of his eyes. At the same time, his vision changed and he saw more ordinary people.
An unperceivable sight.
An extremely huge ripple appeared in the high sky.
The blue sky is like the surface of the sea, gradually ripples.
No one knows where the center of this ripple is, but they vaguely look to the east with a certain sense of a practitioner.
That is the direction of the imperial capital.
"The spiritual energy is improving!"
A little lapel exclaimed in a low voice, and Cheng Lin also discovered this. The densely populated station was originally a place where spiritual energy was extremely thin, but as the ripples slowly swept across the ground, the spiritual energy around them became clearly thicker.
A little... not much, just a little.
Using numerical calculations, it is probably less than 100, but it is too much after all. Moreover, this increase is not limited to one place, but spreads all over... the world!
In the dense station square.
Ordinary travelers did not notice any abnormalities. Only the practitioners felt this mysterious change.
"What happened?"
"Why did the spiritual energy suddenly improve?"
"Could it be..."
Some people's breath tightened, and they had a guess in their minds, but they didn't dare to say it out.
The strange phenomenon lasted for more than ten seconds before returning to normal.
Cheng Lin withdrew his gaze and turned to look for Huang Yin, but he only saw her lowering her head, as if she was deep in thought. After a while, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, as if asking someone, but obviously did not get an answer immediately.
.
It wasn't until everyone entered the terminal that they received an overall message from within the department:
"Just now, Shi Shengcun broke through the eighth grade and became the first eighth-grade monk in the world!"
