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

Chapter 96 Advancement to the seventh level
  There are five flags in the Tsing Yi Department, and each of the five flags has secret treasures.

Gold scales, wooden books, earth clogs, and tinder represent the four flags respectively.

The treasure of the water flag is naturally the water embroidery pattern.

It's just that this distribution plan doesn't feel reasonable to Cao An. Can't I hang a golden scale shoulder armor on my majestic water flag? How handsome that thing is!
  Regarding this question, Master Tian gave the answer.

"Because when your agency came to me, it was said that Shui Qi was responsible for: detecting enemy traces, analyzing intelligence, solving cases, chasing suspects, supervising interrogations, identifying monsters and people, processing files, and making suggestions."

"I was thinking about so many things, and water embroidery is more suitable."

Master Tian sat in the reception room of the Tsing Yi Department, took a sip of tea, and cast a sympathetic look at Cao An.

The last session of water embroidery created a D-level water embroidery pattern: it can breathe in water, walk on the sea, increase speed, and restore energy.

The summary is: I am good at running around and jumping into the sea, and I am not afraid of being busy when working overtime. As long as I can't do it to death, I will work to death.

Thinking about it this way, only water embroidery pattern is more suitable.

"Of course, you can put forward any blessings you need to focus on. Thank you very much for this case. I will definitely help you create the most suitable treasure."

After helping Master Tian untie the knot he had felt for many years, and clearing the innocence of his eldest brother and his wife, Cao An is now his benefactor and must repay him mercilessly.

Cao An nodded and made a small request of his own without being polite:

"I hope to increase my strength, restore energy, strengthen defense, speed up, assist in training, be able to be ever-changing, and preferably prepare a few unique moves that I can use at any time to defeat one against ten thousand."

When Master Tian heard this, he opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.

As expected of someone from the Tsing Yi Department, every small request sounds a bit long.

"I'll try my best to do it. The Ministry of Industry asked me to go back to work. I stopped by the inner warehouse to select some good materials for you. The tools they have are much better. Within five days, I will make the best one for you. Water embroidered pattern.”

"Then there is Master Laotian."

……

After seeing off the visitors, Cao An was temporarily free.

Back in the room, all the Dao Soul Fruits had been brought in. Looking at the large table full of food, Cao An felt really embarrassed for half a second.

How about looking back and seeing who else needs it? Go out in two or three more?

Of course, it's not that he has good character and knows how to be humble and courteous, but that this soul fruit seems to be something that can be picked regularly.

As for how to enter the Huangquan fork, it seems that in most people's understanding, it requires luck.

You can tell by looking at the appearance of the Red Fox Queen. She is still autistic and has no confidence in entering next time.

But Cao An felt that that place was related to the black ring in his arms.

This time when he went to the ghost market, Cao An took the black ring with him to guard against the possibility of entering the immortal tomb.

And just when he entered the ghost market, there seemed to be a tremor in his arms, probably because of this, he changed his path.

As for the triggering conditions, it should be what the senior sister said: the ghost gate opens in the yin moon.

When I have time in the future, I will check the relevant information. Maybe the Huangquan Cross Road can become their back garden in the future?

"Forget it, don't think about it, just get the reward first."

"Congratulations on cracking the case: the missing person. Rewards for the detective have begun to be distributed."

"Acquire the detective talent: Smell scent and recognize objects."

"Effectiveness: Three kinds of strange fragrances can be recorded and used for identification when necessary."

……

"Please choose one of the following three additional rewards:"

"12. Powerful poison smoke (eighth grade): combined with poison powder and demon blood, it has variations. It is fast, has a large amount of smoke, and is easy to make."

"2. Beiyan's Crazy Axe (Level 6 Secrets): The unique ax skill of Beiyan's famous general. It is suitable for rushing into formations and melee battles. The attacks are broad and powerful, and the momentum is like a rainbow. It needs to be used with the Xuanhua Great Axe."

"Three, Tianyuan Yiqi*80."

……

I don't know whether it was because the detective skills were not used throughout the whole process, or because it involved the Immortal Tomb, but the settlement reward for this case was much higher than usual.

[Smell Smell and Recognize Objects] This talent feels very useful.

All kinds of fragrant powders, smoke, poisonous insects, and poisons are popular in this place. There have even been poisonous smoke arrays these few times, and there is no guarantee that they will be used one day.

As for the subsequent rewards, Poison Smoke is definitely not an option.

He asked Dr. Zhong from the Imperial Medical Office. Because poisonous smoke is spread in the air, it is best to use it in large quantities for quick results.

Although your combat power will be sharply reduced in the poisonous smoke, as long as you break out of the poisonous smoke array and find a secluded place to rest for a while, it is still easy to suppress the poison, and the value is not great.

Next is "Beiyan Crazy Axe", this technique is very powerful, the sixth-level secret book is higher than Cao An's "Qiu Shui Sword Technique".

It's a pity that it's an ax wielder and Cao An can't use it. Although it's valuable to sell it, Cao An is not poor!

After thinking about it, he chose the last third option, [Tian Yuan Qi] plus [Dao Soul Fruit]. Cao An was prepared to spend huge sums of money to attack seventh-level warriors.

But before that, let's catch up on some sleep and recover from the all-night battle last night.

……

In October, the weather has gradually turned cooler.

The withered yellow leaves swirled and fell with the breeze, looking desolate and lonely.

In this weather, if you don't cover yourself with some blankets during your nap, you might catch the wind and cold.

But why does this blanket feel heavier than usual today?

Cao An was lying on the bed, half asleep. He wanted to move his body, but he felt that his chest was pressed by a heavy burden, as if he was pressed down on the bed by a ghost.

Wait, is this feeling of a ghost pressing on the bed too real?

Cao An opened his eyes suddenly, a girl with long hair, white skirt and pretty face.

At this moment, she was sitting on him, licking her lips gently, and her cold hands reached into Cao An's clothes and touched his chest.

When she found out that Cao An was awake, the girl was not frightened. She bent down, slightly opened her red lips, and slowly got close to Cao An's neck.

It feels so...

Snapped!
  Cao An covered this woman's mouth and shouted loudly: "Pan Jinlin, can you take care of your sister? She is going to eat me."

"Ah!! So she is here with you! Make it easy for me to find her." Pan Daxi's voice came from outside the house.

The strong man hurriedly pushed open the door and entered with a look of embarrassment on his face. He pinched his sister's neck and picked her up.

"Haha, I'm so sorry! Cao An, I disturbed your sleep. But don't worry, I told my sister not to eat you, she should be able to remember it."

should?

I don't think she can remember.

Cao An rolled his eyes and stood up helplessly.

Looking at the long nails and sharp fangs staring at him with a hungry look on his face, Cao An also sighed helplessly.

It has been more than half a month since he joined the job, and he had never seen this person come out before, but now he dares to run around in front of him.

According to Pan Daxi's explanation, his sister is afraid of strangers, but after you become familiar with her, you can't think about eating her alive every day!
  "Forget it, let me prepare something for your sister. If she wants to come to me in the future, she can come directly." "Oh? Really? Cao An, what magic weapon do you have?"

"Wait."

After Cao An finished speaking, he turned around and entered the utility room. After rummaging through the cabinets, he found a piece of bamboo.

Cut off a section, wash it, put it on the red string, and handed it to my sister.

"Come, bite this bamboo, and you can come and play with me often in the future."

My sister tilted her head: "Huh?"

……

In the next few days, Cao An's schedule was very regular.

Sleep, eat, practice, and officially entered the stage of hard training as a warrior.

He spent a lot of money to buy expensive body-building medicinal materials, took spiritual fruits internally and soaked elixirs externally, and his cultivation level increased rapidly.

However, looking at his state, several experts from the Tsing Yi Department were still a little worried.

"Cao An, I heard Zhu Xian say that you entered the profession half a month ago."

"Yes."

"In just half a month, are you going to attack the seventh-level warrior? Do you want to strengthen your foundation?"

Ying Changfeng, the deputy director, seemed to have accepted the outcome of not being admitted to the female university. He no longer obsessed with the issue of Dao Soul Fruit, but began to worry about Cao An's cultivation.

The training of a warrior is much more difficult than the training of the superior Tianjian.

Those monks only need to improve their realm every day and concentrate on increasing their longevity and nourishing their lives.

As for warriors, in addition to improving their realm, they also need to stabilize their energy, practice martial arts, temper their bodies, and improve their combat power.

Although at Cao An's age, it is not a big deal to attack the seventh level, but his training time is too short. Half a month, I am afraid he has not even laid a solid foundation. It is inappropriate to attack rashly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shuzheng, my foundation is very strong. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

Cao An's cultivation mainly relies on the assistance of [Tian Yuan Yi Qi].

He went to check the information, and it seemed that there was no corresponding record for this thing.

Considering the scolded radish and the homing pigeon with a big tail, there are so many rare things in this world that it is not surprising that they are not included in this list.

However, Cao An is sure that [Tian Yuan Yi Qi] is definitely a rare treasure, at least more powerful than [Dao Soul Fruit]. Cao An has been absorbed in absorbing it for the past few days, and the energy in his body has reached saturation.

Even relying on the tenacity of the "Five Zang Vajra Technique", he compressed part of his energy to prepare for a breakthrough. His current state was definitely at the peak level of the eighth grade.

Zhu Xian held the wooden book and glanced back and forth around Cao An with a green light: "That's strange, have you finished eating those Dao Soul Fruits?"

"Not yet. There are 30 left in the house. Do you need them?"

"That's not necessary. I'm just surprised that your strength is growing at an incredibly fast rate. Are you a unique martial arts prodigy?"

"Obviously, that's who I am."

The detective system and Tianyuan Qi were his own secrets and could not be spread to others. This martial arts prodigy was a good excuse, and Cao An accepted it without hesitation.

The five major schools will experience a qualitative leap in combat power at the seventh and fourth levels, so practitioners will also call them levels, and the difficulty of breaking through will increase exponentially.

Considering that Cao An was probably one of his own, Master Shuzheng took action personally this time.

Crossing his legs in the secret room, Ying Changfeng and Zhu Xian were his protectors.

Cao An took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, activated his internal energy, and a surging momentum burst out instantly, making the surrounding air crackle.

I silently recited the breath-taking method in my heart, and the heavens circulated rapidly, and the energy hit the meridians like a torrent. Whether it could hold up depends on the strength of the meridians' tempering.

Two weeks later, the first ray of energy was compressed into liquid and flowed into the Dantian. This was a sign of advancement. As long as it continued slowly, the stage of seventh-level energy transformation was just around the corner.

But Cao An was not satisfied, he felt that he could be stronger.

"My bladder can hold ten pounds of urine, and my Dantian can also hold it. Speed ​​up the coagulation for me!"

Cao Anxin made a fierce move, and his training speed accelerated again.

As he exhaled, white mist visible to the naked eye rose up from his body, and the energy in his body hit like a violent storm.

Ordinary people can't bear such terrifying intensity, but Cao An can.

Because it relies on [Tian Yuan Yi Qi] to cultivate, there are very few impurities in the body, and with the blessing of the "Five Zang Vajra Art", the foundation is much tougher than ordinary warriors.

After forcing it down, the energy and liquid in the body converged towards the dantian at an extremely fast speed, condensing and compressing it, filling the dantian to the full. The intensity was so high that even the two guardians were shocked.

After an unknown amount of time, Cao An let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

In an instant, he felt the response from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This was the seventh-grade energy transformation stage, which was completely different from the previous eighth-grade body tempering stage.

Ninth grade, just generates strength in the body, fights with people without any rules, and is considered a slightly stronger and reckless man.

At the eighth level, one can apply energy to the weapon and release it to injure the enemy. It is considered to be capable of fighting.

As for the seventh grade, this is a qualitative leap.

Cao An could feel that the qi energy at this moment was no longer a simple movement and release, but could be adjusted at will, whether it was body protection, speed increase, or even the use of techniques condensed into lines.

This breakthrough is an all-round blessing.

As long as he has enough energy, he can even release [Ten Thousand Chao Jin] infinitely, improving his strength by more than a star.

Seeing Cao An finish his work and get up, Ying Changfeng walked over and asked happily: "Cao An, have you successfully advanced? How do you feel?"

These words of concern made Cao An feel worried!
  He had heard the same words twice before when he achieved breakthroughs in cultivation. Could this be a foreshadowing for having to work overtime again?

"Return to the office, Sir, I feel dizzy, my limbs are weak, my hands and feet are cold, and my whole body is numb."

"...Master Tian sent someone to say that the treasure is ready. If you feel unwell, please go back to your room to rest."

"Sir, I feel better now. From the moment I arrived at the Tsing Yi Department, I have never thought about resting. I will go to get water embroidery now."

"..."

As long as you have a thick skin, you can get enough treasures and beauties.

Cao An left the secret room in one step, resisted Ying Changfeng's gaze, picked up the tinder and went to get the treasure.

But this time, the things were not at Master Tian's home, but were going to the Ministry of Works.

After untying his knot, Master Tian once again returned to work in the Ministry of Industry. Cao An and the other two reported their names, and an official led them into the Secret Treasure Courtyard.

This place specializes in developing treasures for the imperial court and has recruited the most powerful craftsmen in the world.

Master Tian is one of the best.

Upon entering the courtyard, the first thing you see is the densely packed craftsmen's equipment.

Just talking about one type of engraved knife, there are dozens of types including gold, silver, copper, iron, black steel, etc. A large number of precious materials are filled in every corner.

Cao An glanced casually and quickly discovered Master Tian's location. After all, there was a radish nearby that had all its leaves pulled out and was crying and cursing.

At the big table nearby, craftsmen were gathering together, discussing something enthusiastically.
