I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 24 The Cat of Nanshan Academy
  Tired from investigating the case all night long, Cao An returned to his room and fell asleep.

Although it was a daydream, his dream was particularly sweet.

He dreamed of flowers, the ocean, and even dreamed of grilled chicken wings, spices and peppers sprinkled on the burnt puff pastry, and when he took a bite, the smell of fat overflowed...

Wait, why is this scent so realistic?

Cao An woke up from his dream and immediately heard the sound of "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay~" coming from his side.

Turning around, he saw that good guy, Ying Huorong had entered his room at some point and was sitting next to the coffee table, gnawing hard on a plate of large chicken wings.

"Ying Banner Master, why are you here?"

"Of course I'm waiting for you to investigate the case together."

Ying Huorong looked high-spirited, but he responded to Monk Sanyang's comment that he was too lively.

Fortunately, Zhu Xian knew that Cao An was a low-level warrior and needed more time to rest, so he warned Ying Huorong in advance not to disturb him.

But you brought a big plate of chicken wings and ate them while you waited. Are you sure you're not interrupting?

Rubbing his confused eyebrows, Cao An couldn't help but ask: "Do you eat grilled wings every meal? Is this food so delicious?"

"The grilled wings are delicious. You won't get tired of them no matter how much you eat them. Do you want them? Because of your promotion today, I'll give you one."

Looking at the huge plate, he was only given one. It was indeed true love.

"Okay, leave me alone until I wash up and come back to eat."

Cao An was not polite either. Once he accepted the strange style of the Tsing Yi Department, his behavior became much more casual.

Today's morning meeting ended hastily due to the disappearance of Shui Qi. Fortunately, Cao An's entry into Qi was not affected. Zhu Xiang changed his badge, dormitory, clothes, etc., and Cao An was officially promoted.

From a non-staff white servant, I officially joined the water flag.

Salary was not mentioned at all. Fortunately, Ying Huorong was a nice person and he shared a chicken wing. It was regarded as Cao An's promotion banquet.

Sitting down, he took away the chicken wings from Ying Huorong Huduzi's eyes, started to chew on them, and asked: "Ying Banner Leader, what case are we going to handle later? Do you have any direction?"

There were many unsolved cases in the Tsing Yi Department. After the morning meeting, when Cao An was following Zhu Xian to go through the flag entry procedures, he took a detour to the archives room to take a look.

What a dense dossier! Cao An's eyelids were twitching when he saw it. What was even more frightening was that these files were all covered with a layer of dust, and it was obvious that no one had touched them for a long time.

It is impossible to solve them all. We can only solve some important cases.

Speaking of this, Ying Huorong became interested, sucked his oily fingers, and took out a scroll from his arms.

"I prepared it early. I carefully selected this case. It is urgent and very difficult."

Seeing Ying Huorong's serious look, Cao An also became interested.

Looking at Ying Huorong's terrifying combat power last night, even she found it difficult. It must be a big case, which meant more generous rewards for her detective system.

Thinking about this, Cao An quickly took the file and opened it to read: [The pet cat in Nanshan Academy is lost and needs to be found urgently. 】

Cao An:......

"Do you have any misunderstandings about urgency and difficulty?"

"No! The dean must be very anxious if the kitten is lost. Moreover, Nanshan Academy is close to the mountains and forests, so it will be very difficult to find the kitten."

"...If you say so, it is indeed very difficult and urgent."

Cao An really disagreed with this person's thinking, but after thinking about it, it seemed that going to Nanshan Academy would not be a bad idea.

When he first arrived, Cao An was not familiar with the place. Asking questions bit by bit would always make others suspicious. Going to the academy to find two books on modern history was the best way to make up for his lessons.

Of course, the most important thing is that Cao An also has a copy of "Green Grassland Picture" with him.

The material of the animal skin is just a piece of green grass on the picture. There is no clue at all. Only a line of inscription seems to be the key to breaking up the picture.

It's a pity that Cao An can't understand this kind of writing. Maybe he can go to the academy and find similar writing. What if it's some kind of treasure map? Getting rich is just around the corner. …

The long-lost midday sun shone eagerly on his body. For the first time, Cao An saw Shangjiang City in the blue sky and white sun.

The capital of a country is prosperous and rich.

The noisy market streets and glazed red tiles, at least as far as Cao An could see, were bright and bright.

But under this prosperity, Cao An saw an undercurrent.

On the street, Cao An saw people from the Six Gates and the Demon Slaying Department patrolling back and forth. This kind of work was usually handled by the yamen, but now it was coordinated by these elite departments.

Could it be that the [Mo Ren Lane] mentioned last night made the situation in Shangjiang City tense?

Not knowing why, I could only temporarily put aside the messy thoughts and focus on cultivation again.

Yesterday, Cao An naturally yearned for Ying Huorong's killing spree. Now it happened that a man and a woman were in the same car together, so it was natural for them to exchange some cultivation experiences.

"Master Ying, I heard from Pang Duzhi yesterday that your strength has reached the level of a fourth-grade warrior?"

"Well, almost."

"Then I wonder if Lord Ying Banner can give me some guidance on how to practice?"

"Of course there is no problem. When it comes to spiritual practice, you have found the right person. In the entire Tsing Yi Department, I am the only one who knows how to practice the best!"

Ying Huorong is really a good person. Within two days of their first acquaintance, she was willing to help enthusiastically and accepted her without any hesitation, patting her breasts.

Although this declaration of being the most knowledgeable about cultivation sounds a bit unreliable, it is at least better than Cao An trying to figure it out on his own.

"Then how should Banner Master Ying think it is more appropriate for a beginner like me to practice?"

"For a warrior, the most important thing is to cultivate the bones. This is not only about physical training, but also about condensing Qi and blood and connecting the meridians, so that you can achieve strength like the sea."

On weekdays, she looks like a troubled girl who likes to make trouble, but when talking about cultivation, it seems that there is really something like that.

Cao An quickly asked: "If I practice with the help of precious materials from heaven and earth, will there be any adverse consequences?"

"The treasures of heaven and earth? Of course there is no problem. The foundation of a warrior is very solid, just like a person who needs to eat. If he can eat it, then there will be no problem."

"Unlike Taoists, who make elixirs by themselves and eat them by themselves. If you eat too much, your realm will be unstable."

"It's a pity that there are too few qi and blood treasures suitable for warriors."

Ying Huorong's words made Cao An feel relieved. His [Tian Yuan Yi Qi] was a natural treasure issued by the system. It was much more powerful than those pills. Quick cultivation was not a problem at all.

"But you should also note that the level of realm is not completely equivalent to the level of strength. You need to practice more techniques to match the battle."

Cao An agreed very much with Ying Huorong's words.

After all, no matter how high the internal energy is, if you don't know how to use it, it will just be hacking with a knife.

"Then what kind of exercise is suitable for me?"

"Hmm~ Let me think about it~" Ying Huorong raised her head and pointed her finger at her chin as she thought.

"Most of the low-level skills in our department are focused on fighting on the battlefield, so they are not suitable for you. The advanced skills are not bad, but your level is too low, so I'm afraid you won't be able to learn them. By the way, there is one in Nanshan Academy This book is very good and should suit you."

When Cao An heard this, his eyes lit up: "Is that technique powerful?"

"It's not bad, at least it's better than the monks hitting their heads against the wall, but it's more difficult to practice."

"How difficult is it?"

"Either you succeed or you fail. You only have about a 50% chance of making it."

"...Thank you for your easy-to-understand answers."
