Reinforcement! "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill"!

"Little Brother, stick out your hand," Shangguan Qingxue suddenly said to Lu Siye.

"What do you want?" Lu Siye asked warily.

"Don't worry, Little Brother, your sister means no harm. I just want to test your talent," Shangguan Qingxue explained with a smile.

Lu Siye's immunity to her Bewitchment had piqued her curiosity.

Although she had only used a fraction of her power to cast the Bewitchment, it wasn't something ordinary people could resist. Only those with strong souls could remain unaffected.

And since she had arrived, she hadn't sensed any trace of cultivation on Lu Siye.

This meant Lu Siye's soul strength was innate, and generally, those with higher innate soul strength possessed greater talent for cultivation.

Therefore, her current action was simply a display of her appreciation for talent.

Lu Siye didn't know what this beautiful woman's intentions were.

But he knew that if she wanted to harm him, she could do so subtly, without needing to act like this.

Having determined that she meant him no harm, Lu Siye cooperatively offered his hand.

Shangguan Qingxue took Lu Siye's palm and produced a palm-sized Bagua Mirror from somewhere, placing it in his hand.

"Close your eyes and relax your mind," Shangguan Qingxue commanded softly as she channeled True Qi from within her body into the Bagua Mirror in his hand.

The Bagua Mirror in Lu Siye's hand began to emit a faint glow. After about ten seconds, the Li Trigram flickered with a faint red light, followed by the Qian Trigram lighting up with a faint golden light. Both dimmed within ten seconds.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shangguan Qingxue's eyes. She had been testing people's talents for years, but she had never encountered anyone with such poor talent.

After the Bagua Mirror was taken from his hand, Lu Siye quickly opened his eyes and asked, "How's my talent?"

"Little Brother, I think practicing martial arts would suit you better," Shangguan Qingxue said tactfully.

At eight in the morning, Lu Siye stood bewildered at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, holding soy milk and fried dough sticks.

The fantastical experience of the previous night had left him feeling quite dizzy.

First, there was the towering Captain of the Metal Unit, Meng Jianmin, who told him he had no talent for cultivation. Then, he tested Lu Siye's bone structure and declared him a once-in-a-million martial arts genius.

Afterward, Meng Jianmin explained the benefits of joining the Town Demon Suppression Division, such as a base salary of 100,000 per month with no responsibilities, the most lenient housing purchase incentives, and the fact that the Town Demon Suppression Division provided cultivation techniques.

Lu Siye was stunned by the professional jargon.

He then considered that although he had a System, it required him to torment ghosts to gain Fear Points. Joining the Town Demon Suppression Division would likely provide better information about ghosts.

This way, he wouldn't have to spend his days analyzing various murder cases and speculating whether they were caused by ghosts.

After some consideration, Lu Siye agreed to join the Town Demon Suppression Division.

Subsequently, they downloaded a Town Watch APP onto his phone, making him a probationary member of the Town Demon Suppression Division.

Then, he was given a thin booklet titled "Body Tempering Art," which was described as an introductory martial arts technique, and told to cultivate it diligently.

He was also given a bonus of seven thousand yuan for killing the Takeout Ghost last night.

The fact that killing ghosts could earn him money made Lu Siye's eyes light up. He was struggling to find a job and had no income.

He had finally discovered a new path to wealth.

Afterward, Lu Siye slept at the police station for a night.

Until the morning, when enthusiastic Public Security Officers pressed a cup of soy milk and several fried dough sticks into his hands, and then warmly ushered him out.

After finishing his breakfast, Lu Siye hailed a shared bicycle by the roadside and headed towards the Tongjiang Residential Complex.

As he neared the Tongjiang Residential Complex, Lu Siye passed a roadside stall selling pirated martial arts novels. He stopped there as if guided by an unseen force.

Looking at the dozen or so pirated martial arts books piled on a snakeskin bag, he was suddenly reminded of his System.

"System, can you strengthen martial arts manuals from these novels?" Lu Siye asked in his mind.

"Yes! But it can only strengthen martial arts techniques that are described in sufficient detail within the books." The System's cold, emotionless voice sounded like heavenly music to him at that moment.

"Can you strengthen cultivation techniques from cultivation novels?" he quickly followed up.

"No!" the System's voice remained as unfeeling as ever.

Although slightly disappointed, he didn't feel too dejected. One should be content with what they have.

He quickly dismounted the shared bicycle and approached the stall owner, whose hair was white, and crouched down.

He picked up the book at the top and asked, "Boss, how much are these books?"

"Fifty each, no bargaining!" The boss held out five bony fingers.

Lu Siye looked at the book in his hand, "I Traveled to Condor Heroes to Dominate the World." Not only were the characters clear, but there were also martial arts illustrations, which seemed to depict the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill."

"System, can this be strengthened into a technique?" Lu Siye asked in his mind.

"Yes!"

"Thirty, and I'll take them all," Lu Siye said generously, waving his hand.

"Deal!" The boss immediately agreed, his old face breaking into a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Damn it! He had asked for too much!

Seeing the boss's expression, Lu Siye knew he had definitely lost out this time.

After paying with his phone and taking the pirated martial arts books packed in a plastic bag, Lu Siye hurried towards Tongjiang Residential Complex.

Parking the shared bicycle at the nearest spot outside the complex, Lu Siye, carrying the full bag of pirated novels, started walking across the road.

He couldn't wait to try out the System's enhancement function.

Suddenly, with a harsh screeching sound, a black BMW stopped less than twenty centimeters from him.

The BMW's driver quickly got out of the car and approached Lu Siye, looking at him nervously.

"Are you okay, brother? Did I hit you?" The driver, an uncle, had a pale face and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He was clearly terrified.

"I'm fine!" Lu Siye shook his head.

He was the one who jaywalked without paying attention to his surroundings, so he couldn't blame the driver.

"That's good if you're fine! That's good!" The driver uncle wiped away some cold sweat and got back into his car.

Lu Siye looked at the young woman in the BMW's passenger seat, who was staring directly at him. She was probably the driver uncle's wife.

Her face was equally pale, and she looked quite shaken.

Lu Siye scratched his head sheepishly and watched the two of them drive away.

A rich and polite uncle like that deserved to have a beautiful wife.

After this little incident, Lu Siye became much more cautious. A few minutes later, he successfully returned to his room.

In the living room, Lu Siye impatiently took out "I Traveled to Condor Heroes to Dominate the World" from the pile of books, spread it out on the table, and silently chanted, "Enhance!"

"Does the host wish to consume 20 Fear Points to enhance 'I Traveled to Condor Heroes to Dominate the World'?"

"Yes!" Lu Siye's tone was firm.

The pirated novel on the table began to act as if it had gone crazy.

The pages flipped rapidly, and the characters, figures, and paragraphs all seemed to come alive, emitting golden divine light. Each word was deconstructed and reassembled, each stroke was rearranged, all at a speed like a TV show fast-forwarded 32 times.

Two minutes later, as the enhancement neared its end, the light began to dissipate.

"Ding~ Enhancement successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the first level of the 'Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill'."

"'Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill'! Only the first level? No wonder it required so few Fear Points. So this was waiting for me," Lu Siye couldn't help but complain.

He knew about the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill." This martial arts manual came from Jin Yong's wuxia novels and was a technique from "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

It was an unparalleled ultimate secret manual recorded in the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra," belonging to the supreme protector divine skill of Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism. The realm was divided into thirteen levels. Its external power could make palm strikes strong, domineering, fierce, and overwhelming. Each level mastered increased the strength of one dragon and one elephant. After mastering ten levels, it granted the strength of ten dragons and ten elephants.

Buddhism highly revered dragons and elephants.

They believed that dragons were powerful in water and elephants were powerful on land, thus they were often used to describe practitioners with great strength and courage.

Volume two of the "Mahaparinirvana Sutra": "World-Honored One, I have now, together with all the great Dragon Elephant Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas, cut off all defilements."

Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty's "Preface to the Four-Part Vinaya School Record": "When the two sides are like clouds gathering, one knows the honor of true reality; when the wind of the ten directions blows, one recognizes the preciousness of true nature. It will make the Dragon Elephant monks' robes shine with clarity and truth."

Luo Yin of the Tang Dynasty's poem "After the Fire at the Sweet Dew Temple": "They only say that gods and spirits protect things, unaware that Dragon Elephants turn to ashes themselves."

From these fragmented words passed down by our ancestors, one could see how highly Buddhism revered dragons and elephants.

Lu Siye was surprised that this pirated novel had given him such a great surprise.

He eagerly picked up the book. The original title had already been replaced by five large, gilded characters: "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill."

Lu Siye opened the first page and began to read the introduction to the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill."
