"Explode, explode?"
Zhao Dezhu's face turned pale instantly.
He didn't know anything about channeling or regulating; he had just practiced guiding exercises for several years.
He accidentally succeeded in Qi Introduction and broke through to the First Layer of Qi Refinement.
I've never seen anything like this before.
The boy's body convulsed, and blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth.
Fear overwhelmed him instantly.
Someone died!
If this gets caught...
A wicked thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Anyway, this place is remote, we can't let this kid leave alive!
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes; he was planning to kill.
It would be best to drag these guys down with us.
Perhaps I can change my appearance when my cultivation level is higher in the future.
We must act now.
But just then...
"Buzz!!!"
Several blinding beams of searchlight shone down without warning.
The area was illuminated as brightly as day.
Immediately following was the deafening roar of helicopter rotors, which came from afar and instantly enveloped the entire urban village.
" Great Xia Cultivation Administration, Shenzhen City Garrison!"
"All personnel below, immediately squat down with your hands on your heads!"
A cold, authoritative voice, amplified by Spiritual Power, resounded like thunder.
The sound exploded in Zhao Dezhu's ears, making his legs go weak.
I almost collapsed to the ground, looking up in horror.
Three black armed helicopters painted with the Cultivation Administration's insignia hovered in the night sky.
The hatch opened, and several figures were coldly looking down.
"Call out!"
A faint whooshing sound came from the air.
It was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.
A bright sword light suddenly flashed.
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in both knees.
When he opened his eyes again, his hamstrings were precisely pierced by two standard flying swords that gleamed with a cold light.
They pinned him to the ground, rendering him unable to move.
"Ah!"
"Aaaaaah!"
A pig-like scream echoed through the night sky.
A lithe figure leaped from the helicopter.
Guided by the flying sword, it landed precisely in front of him, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The newcomer was dressed in a black, fitted combat uniform with prominent epaulets, and his aura clearly indicated that he was at the Late Qi Refining!
Without even glancing at Zhao Dezhu, he rushed to the side of the boy who was about to faint.
With one palm pressed against his lower abdomen, pure and peaceful Spiritual Power flowed into the boy's body.
"Relax!"
"Don't be nervous, sense my presence."
Qi Hao's voice was calm and steady as he blinked, calming the faint surge of energy within the boy that was about to erupt.
The pain on the boy's face quickly subsided, and his breathing gradually became steady.
After doing all this, Qi Hao finally raised his head.
A cold gaze swept over Zhao Dezhu, whose face was ashen.
He glanced at the other terrified children, his voice as cold as ice in the dead of winter.
"The laws of the Great Xia strictly prohibit private organizations, enterprises, and individuals from privately preaching the Dharma."
"According to the law, you are formally arrested."
He ignored Zhao Dezhu's terrified gaze.
Qi Hao couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
As a patrol guard, today happens to be his night shift.
The helicopter hovered high in the sky; it was only because the spirit detector sensed unusual energy fluctuations in the area that the helicopter was able to reach the scene.
This child is probably doomed.
What happened when this street was registered?
"Why were there any Qi Sensing individuals missed? Take them all away to verify their identities."
"Also, report that the area has been thoroughly searched to see if any Qi-sensing individuals have been missed."
"Yes, Guard Captain!"
The other two guards had also landed, and after saluting, they took Zhao Dezhu and several boys away.
Qi Hao summoned his flying sword and carefully surveyed his surroundings.
Confirmed that nothing was missed.
Only then did he return with the team.
The Shenzhen City Cultivation Administration is not located in the city center.
The place is relatively quiet.
A helicopter slowly landed on an administrative office building.
Qi Hao went to report on the situation that night.
Unauthorized transmission of Buddhist teachings is a serious crime under the new law.
The consequences will be enormous; this action will endanger people's lives.
Furthermore, the practice of privately transmitting teachings can easily cloud the minds of cultivators.
Indirectly causing chaos, even if one survives, will become a hidden danger.
The Great Xia Dynasty has not issued the right to transmit laws in recent years.
All those who are sensitive to Qi can only receive formal guidance and training at the Cultivation Administration.
As for the Qi Refinement Method, only special departments and groups can formally transmit the teachings.
Ordinary people with Qi sensitivity cannot obtain it without joining a relevant organization.
"Knock knock."
Knocking on Hundred Guard's office door, Qi Hao gave a brief report on Zhao Dezhu's unauthorized transmission of magic, which nearly resulted in his death, and the discovery of a person who had leaked Qi perception.
Behind his desk, Liu Junqi, a middle-aged man with a calm face and sharp eyes, Hundred Guard.
He is carefully reviewing the patrol log.
After listening to the report, he frowned and put down his pen.
"Preaching legal knowledge without authorization violates the new law and must be thoroughly investigated and punished severely."
"The identities of those children and their subsequent guidance and education must be taken into account to prevent any potential problems."
He paused, then looked at Qi Hao.
"You handled it well."
"Also, don't forget the routine task the day after tomorrow: conduct random inspections of the Spirit Machinery research and development laboratories of three private companies."
"The key focus of the investigation is to verify whether the research is within the authorized scope and whether any high-risk or contraindicated experiments were conducted in violation of regulations."
"Currently, private capital is too enthusiastic about spiritual cultivation techniques, which is prone to overstepping boundaries. We must keep a close eye on it."
"Yes, I understand!"
Qi Hao stood at attention and replied.
The Great Xia Dynasty allows qualified large private enterprises to research civilian psionic technology.
However, research involving killing or harm is absolutely prohibited.
No red line may be moved even slightly.
This also makes the Cultivation Administration Bureau even busier.
After leaving Hundred Guard's office, Qi Hao went back to his own office to pack up his materials and prepare to leave work.
The positions at the Great Xia Cultivation Administration differed from those of traditional institutions.
They are generally divided into five levels: ordinary guards, Guard Captain, and Hundred Guard, Thousand Guard, and Chief Guard.
In terms of cultivation level, Qi Hao could easily become Hundred Guard or Thousand Guard.
His cultivation progressed rapidly, and his aptitude was excellent. His Three Spirit Root allowed him to break through to the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer in less than ten years.
He's considered a highly skilled expert even within the Cultivation Administration.
The main shortcoming is in terms of contribution.
Take his immediate superior Liu Junqi, for example.
In the early stages of the Spiritual Power revival, this Hundred Guard, together with several police officers, dismantled a cult gathering that brought together Qi Sensitive individuals.
The forces behind the rally were criminal gangs who possessed firearms.
Liu Junqi was shot five times, but he didn't let a single organizer escape.
Only with such great merit was he promoted to the Hundred Guard.
Qi Hao had little interest in becoming an official, but he was very interested in cultivation.
After being promoted to the Hundred Guard, one can receive an extra one or two spirit rice each month.
He had to work hard for even a grain of rice.
Speaking of Lingmi, he picked up a file from his desk.
The case file contained several large, dark characters. "Theft at the South China Auspicious Grain Spirit Rice Cultivation Base!"
"This case is still unsolved."
"The bureau has absolutely no clue as to who could steal nearly a hundred kilograms of spirit rice under the strictest surveillance."
Qi Hao stared blankly at the file.
This case can be described as the most extraordinary case in Shenzhen City in the past decade.
There are even rumors that a powerful demon in the mountains on the outskirts of Shenzhen City did it.
" Demon Beast... Could it really have been a demon?"
