Saintess: I Have a Method. Do You Want to Learn It?

"Oh?"

Lin Fan became interested. "You're a public official now, and a bureau chief at that. It's not appropriate for you to talk to me about extra benefits, is it?"

"What's wrong with it?"

Wu Guodong stretched and yawned. "I don't embezzle or accept bribes, do I?"

"I remember you're quite interested in raw gemstones, right?"

"What? You're also selling raw gemstones on the side?"

"That's pretty much it." Wu Guodong chuckled. "Over the years, we've seized a lot of things in C City, from all sorts of contraband such as knives, guns, clubs, and counterfeit money, to the valuables of some illegal businessmen."

"Among them, there are quite a few raw stones and jade."

"You know, like those gang leaders and stuff, they always have a lot of good stuff."

"Originally, these items were auctioned off in batches, but the finances of C City have not been too tight in recent years, so a considerable amount has accumulated."

"Auction?"

Lin Fan stroked his chin. "So whether I help you solve those unsolved cases or not, isn't it all the same? I can participate anyway."

"It's different."

Wu Guodong shook his head and said, "If you solve the case, I'll help you make a connection so you don't have to compete with others at such high prices."

"Of course, you can't get it for free, but you won't be charged a high price either."

"Moreover, you have priority in choosing, and you can then auction off the ones you don't like..."

"That's a good suggestion, hehe."

Lin Fan stroked his chin, thinking it was feasible.

He didn't know how much the authorities had confiscated over the years, but now was the time when they needed Pseudo Spiritual Stone. Whether it was a lot or a little, having another way was always a good thing.

Moreover, Wu Guodong is trustworthy, and there's no fear of being targeted by others for anything obtained from him; basically, there are no future problems.

All I have to give up is to help solve a few cases.

Although it will waste some time, to be honest, on Earth, there does seem to be a period of free time before we can mass-produce spiritual herbs...

Using this time to solve a few cases and get more Pseudo Spiritual Stone is perfectly reasonable!

What?

Can't solve cases?

Hey, we're science advisors, do we need to be able to solve cases?

Why not just figure out who the murderer is and let Wu Guodong investigate slowly?

Passive skills are not calculated accurately?

Then let 'Setting Up an Altar and Performing Rituals!

Anyway, judging from what Wu Guodong said last time, our Saintess has already performed the Setting Up an Altar and Performing Rituals, so there's nothing wrong with opening the altar a few more times, right?

Won't?

Why not just travel through time again and learn it?!

"Okay, it's settled then, but not in the next couple of days. I'll contact you later." Lin Fan agreed.

"No problem, no problem."

Wu Guodong was somewhat excited, and then revealed some news...

That is...

If these cases are mostly solved, he might be able to move up a bit more.

At that time, there will naturally be more places that can be taken care of.

At the same time, Wu Guodong couldn't help but sigh that Lin Fan's prediction was really accurate!

When they were praising the Nemesis of Evil," they said that once they caught those people, they'd definitely rise through the ranks...

And the result? Well, they actually caught those guys not long after, and that's how we ended up where we are now.

They just arrested another group of vicious drug dealers these past few days. If they solve a few more cold cases, getting promoted again shouldn't be a problem, right?

Wu Guodong was quite happy.

He got out of the car, strolled back to the police car, and drove away.

Lin Fan didn't delay any longer and drove his G-Wagon home.

"I don't have anything particularly important to do for the next day or so. I won't refine the Spiritual Energy Pill for now, and I'll have to wait until I come back with the 'technique' for Setting Up an Altar and Performing Rituals before I can ask Wu Guodong for the Pseudo Spiritual Stone..."

"However, on the other hand, I suddenly feel that using a pressure cooker to refine pills is not a good idea, mainly because the pressure may not be sufficient."

"In that case..."

Lin Fan suddenly thought of something.

If it's that thing, the pressure will definitely be enough!

"It's just hard to buy, but luckily I don't need it right away, so I'll just buy it online!"

After finishing his online shopping, Lin Fan called his parents at home.

The familiar local accent, as warm and welcoming as ever, brought Lin Fan a sense of peace.

"Hey, son?"

Old Dad's voice was loud and carefree, but he sounded a little breathless.

"Old man, what are you doing? Are you and Mom still in good health?"

Lin Fan asked with a smile.

"I'm in great health, and I'm currently repairing my house!"

"I'm very busy, I'm helping to carry cement slabs..."

"Alright, let's get straight to the point. Do you have enough money?"

"There are still some..."

"Are there still some that aren't much better? Then I'll send some back to you. Don't worry about the money, fix them as much as possible, even the bigger ones."

"You think you're so great because you're rich?" Old Dad laughed and scolded, "If you're so rich, why don't you come back and visit? You're busy making money every day, but it's not really meaningful."

"Haha... I'll come back sometime then. Oh, and I'll transfer the money back to you right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan transferred another 500,000 yuan to his Old Dad's card.

It's not that I don't want to pay more, but I'm afraid that paying too much will scare the elderly couple. If I pay too much, they might think I'm doing something illegal, and that would be a real problem.

"As for going home to visit..."

"It seems like it's time to go back and visit sometime, but we can't stay too long, otherwise, our Saintess..."

"Wait, why can't we stay a couple more days?"

"It would be nice to let her meet her in-laws beforehand, and also to let her call them 'Mom and Dad' in advance, wouldn't it?"

"No, that won't work. She doesn't speak the dialect, or we'll give ourselves away."

Hometown.

The original old house has been demolished.

The foundation work is in full swing right now.

My Old Dad suddenly received a text message, stopped to take a look, and was startled.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... five hundred thousand?!"

"How much is that?!"

When Old Mom heard this, she rushed over. "Did Fanfan call back?"

"Yes!"

"This..."

The elderly couple looked at each other, both somewhat worried, but mostly filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment.

"That kid's really something..."

The Old Dad suddenly grinned, then his expression changed. "Oh no!"

"Claws?"

"Oh dear, we originally planned to build it for 200,000 yuan. Now, how good a house can you build with 200,000 yuan? And it's in the mountains, where it's hard to even find a daughter-in-law. Now that we have 700,000 yuan, we should probably build a villa!"

"That seems to make sense?"

"So what a waste! The foundation was laid for nothing!"

"..."

After a brief discussion, it was decided that the foundation wasn't laid in vain, but an additional ring needed to be added around the perimeter...

The original two-story house design has been transformed into a villa design!

Inside the holy site.

Bright Moon Peak, Saintess Pavilion.

Even though a day had passed, Qi Zixiao could still vividly recall the image of that guy bathing her with his body while his eyes darted around, making her grit her teeth involuntarily.

"That guy!!!"

"You want to bathe with my body, huh? And your eyes are wandering around, aren't they?"

"This Saintess will remember this!"

"Next time I go there, I'll make Saintess you get all the losses you suffered back!"

She hardened her heart and pondered for a long time.

He was thinking about how he could get all the revenge he had suffered at that guy's hands...

Just then, the phone rang.

"Your Highness, Fang Wu has come to pay a visit."

It was news from the Divine Calculator Fang Wu.

Seeing this, Qi Zixiao could only put aside her thoughts for the time being, waved her hand to remove the Soundproof Barrier, and opened the door to go out.

At this moment, the Divine Calculator was standing outside the gate, dressed in a black and white Daoist robe, looking quite extraordinary.

only...

His head was completely bald, not a single hair on it, which was really 'out of character'.

Why have you come?

"Your Highness, the Era of Great Strife has begun. Fang Wu is preparing to go out to seek opportunities and has come to say goodbye."

"Oh? You're all ready?"

"The mountains and rivers are all the same under heaven. Wherever you go, that's where you'll be. There's no need for too much preparation," Fang Wu said with a smile. Although his eyes were open, they were bloodshot and somewhat frightening.

"..."

Qi Zixiao felt a little embarrassed upon seeing this.

While reading Journey to the West, I came up with the idea of having Fiery Eyes of Truth, but it ended up costing the Divine Calculator all his possessions, and I still hadn't succeeded...

But the fortune Divine Calculator believed it wholeheartedly!

Even if he achieved Body Refinement to Sainthood, the Divine Calculator wouldn't have lost out, but Qi Zixiao always felt that he had somehow gotten himself into trouble, which wasn't a good thing.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Is your trip here to seek an opportunity to help you develop your Fiery Eyes of Truth?"

"Your Highness is truly insightful; you understand me perfectly."

The Divine Calculator said excitedly, "To be honest, in my opinion, the Fiery Eyes of Truth has already begun to show results..."

"..."

Have to!

That's true.

Qi Zixiao felt a headache coming on. "How about we teach him another spell that's a little less of a pain?"

What are you sending?

She thought of the Tao Te Ching that Lin Fan had passed down, as well as the method of fusing Strange Fire that he had taught Wu Lian, and so on...

"In other words, the cultivation techniques and the like from those novels and TV series on Earth can also be developed in the Cultivation World. After all, I have already found a way to use my Divine Sword Control Thunder True Technique."

"In other words, I only need to transmit the Divine Calculator, a less dangerous spell."

Why is Fiery Eyes of Truth dangerous?

Because they'd have to throw themselves into the Alchemy Furnace to be refined!

So, what are some less dangerous spells, and more suitable for Divine Calculator...?

Qi Zixiao began to ponder.

"The Divine Calculator is obsessed with divination. There is a ' I Ching ' on Earth that seems to be the best in this field, but unfortunately I haven't read it..."

"Apart from that, his current appearance is indeed somewhat similar to that of a monk."

"How about we teach him something Buddha's Palm or the Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm?"

"The problem is, I don't know how either..."

After much deliberation, Qi Zixiao had a sudden inspiration.

Got it!

She smiled calmly, "I think you are destined to have the Fiery Eyes of Truth, but it is too difficult to master. You should make more preparations."

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness." The Divine Calculator bowed.

"I have another spell here that should be very suitable for you."

"Do you... want to learn?"

Is there another spell that suits me?!

The Divine Calculator's mind stirred.
