I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 488 486. Xiaoyao's Arrangement

At the Xiaoyao Sect, Ma En was meditating on the rooftop, feeling the spiritual energy flowing through his body.

After Wang Yang and Wang Yin contacted Guan Yi, they took over the preliminary work of establishing the sect, and Ma En was extremely cooperative with what Xiaoyao asked him to do. Although this was because he had an obligation to do so, Ma En had his own reasons for doing so. He was creating the image that he really wanted to do this.

He had to be patient enough to wait for Seraph to lower his guard. He was actually putting himself in an extremely dangerous situation because he was now in the Southern Federation, the territory of the gods.

If Seraph was really not afraid of anything and came directly, he might really kill him. Although Ma En didn't have a particularly clear idea of how strong Seraph, a top-tier Tier V ability user, was, he was very clear that he would definitely not be his opponent now, even after using the power of the Moon God.

Even based on Seraph's past reputation, if he made sufficient preparations, he might really be able to kill him before he teleported. And although Seraph didn't know about the teleportation, Ma En felt that if he really attacked him, he would probably seal off the surrounding space with extremely strong power.

And this would lead to an extension of the teleportation time. Considering that they were not encountering each other in battle, but Seraph's attack after making full preparations and plans, Ma En didn't have the confidence that he could survive.

So his current approach was extremely risky and imprudent.

This was also why he wanted to do this.

Because he wanted Seraph to feel that he was not afraid of the mastermind behind the scenes at all. Seraph didn't know how strong the secret alliance behind him was, and Seraph's performance also proved his caution.

If his opponent was not himself, then this method might not work, but Ma En knew very well that Seraph couldn't afford to gamble, and this was because Seraph would deal with him.

That's right, Seraph knew what he had done to the Moon God.

Only this motive could explain everything, why the gods wanted to attack him, and also seemed so afraid of something behind him—because he knew "they" had killed the Moon God.

And because of this, Seraph knew that he couldn't afford to lose.

If it were other opponents, these immortal gods would probably try to see if they could succeed first, but now Seraph, who mistakenly thought that the secret alliance was very strong, would definitely not suddenly attack him.

Therefore, Ma En couldn't hide. In the face of an opponent, the more fearless he appeared, the more cautious Seraph would be, and the safer he would be.

Of course, the reason why he entered the Southern Federation through Xiaoyao was not only because it was so natural and reasonable, and could also solve his and Xiaoyao's affairs, but also because it would be a little safer.

After all, no matter what Xiaoyao thought, the fact that "he was in his sect" would have an impact on Seraph's decision, which was a small extra insurance.

In fact, the most important thing was still his own behavior. He had to make Seraph more firmly believe his initial judgment—the secret alliance was a powerful abnormal organization that secretly murdered gods, and had the confidence to guarantee his life.

But this was just the beginning. His purpose in making Seraph vigilant was to keep his offensive at a level that was truly suitable for him. In fact, Ma En also felt to some extent that what Seraph really wanted to do was definitely not simply kill him. What Seraph cared more about was definitely how he killed the Moon God.

At this time, Ma En recalled Seraph's past methods of dealing with him, and always felt that he seemed to want to force him to show more things. Although in reality those methods might have been fatal to him, Seraph probably didn't think so, because he would definitely overestimate the strength of himself and the secret alliance.

So if he saw an opportunity to spy on him, he would definitely want to dig out the secret.

And this was also an important reason why he wanted to help Xiaoyao establish the sect, because this sect would be open to the abnormal world to recruit disciples, and Seraph would definitely not miss this opportunity.

In other words, he would have a way to contact his "spies" and pass information through them.

Even Seraph's undercover agents might become his "disciples", which was why he didn't express any opinions when Guan Yi asked him if he had any opinions on the disciples.

While Ma En was waiting patiently, he suddenly felt some new changes in the surrounding spiritual energy.

When he opened his eyes, he saw some mist slowly turning into a human figure in front of him.

"Master," Ma En said politely.

Xiaoyao looked him up and down:

"Your control over spiritual energy has reached perfection. Breaking through to the Golden Core is just around the corner, but I guess you won't use the Xiaoyao Technique to break through to the Golden Core even if you have a few hundred more years, right?"

Ma En did not deny it:

"I really don't have that plan."

In fact, after Xiaoyao knew Ma En's true strength, he no longer expected him to practice the Xiaoyao Technique, but Xiaoyao didn't particularly care about this, because his original purpose was to have a fellow Tier ability user who could restrain him and help him with the establishment of the sect and the next few hundred years.

Although Ma En might not believe it, Xiaoyao's purpose in letting him practice his own technique was really just to restrain him, and there were no deeper thoughts.

So after Ma En made a deal with him, he didn't intend to control him anymore. With the contract, he was able to achieve his original purpose, and there was no need to do so.

With this thought, Xiaoyao took out a jade cylinder:

"I prepared this for you. There are hundreds of pre-cultivation techniques for conversion, and thousands of different cultivation mental techniques. There are also their cultivation difficulties and things to pay attention to.

"I know you don't want to practice my Xiaoyao Technique, but I don't want to waste your talent. From my observation of you during this period of time, you are definitely a cultivation genius. Even if these techniques can't possibly be as suitable for you as my Xiaoyao Technique, they are all good techniques. As long as you cultivate with concentration, you will break through to the Nascent Soul sooner or later.

"As for the source of spiritual energy, there is indeed a problem, but I think with your ability, you should be able to directly strip the spiritual energy from my body and not inhale it in a mixed way. Of course, it's up to you whether you want to cultivate or not.

"But multiple forces should not be a bad thing for you now."

Ma En took the jade cylinder handed over by Xiaoyao, and then simply scanned it with his mind. It did store densely packed cultivation techniques and many different cultivators' understanding of these techniques.

This thing is a valuable asset to any organization. The Federation agreed to let Xiaoyao establish a sect in the Southern Federation as if they wanted to obtain something similar. Xiaoyao took this out probably because he knew that there was a mysterious organization called the secret alliance behind him.

But unfortunately, this thing is actually useless to them now. In the barren world without spiritual energy, these cultivation techniques cannot be used to cultivate practitioners in batches, and there are not many young people with particularly good talents.

And the so-called secret alliance is just a product of bluffing. They don't have any scholars who can conduct research. The value of this thing to them is far lower than that of the Federation or any mature abnormal organization.

However, Ma En still took it with gratitude:

"Thank you, this thing is very useful to us."

Now he wants to show that the secret alliance is extremely powerful.

Xiaoyao said:

"I hope that after you have finished studying it, you can also try to cultivate. There are also dozens of books on basic theory in it, which can let you understand the essence of spiritual energy, and can also believe my sincerity."

Ma En nodded slightly and replied:

"I will take a look."

Of course, he would not really look at the contents inside. In fact, he did not do this entirely out of caution. Ma En did not think that Xiaoyao was still thinking of calculating him. The possibility that this thing is problematic is not high. After all, Xiaoyao thinks that there may be other ability users in different fields behind him, but he will still not try to really cultivate.

He just felt that there was no need to do so. For Ma En, cultivation was still too slow. With the Control Bureau, he could find many ways to improve more quickly than this.

"After you took the spiritual treasure," Xiaoyao continued, "I began to search for mortals with suitable roots in various parts of the Federation. Now, although the number of disciples I have found is still a bit lacking, I have really found a few mortals whose roots can be considered excellent. They all have the possibility of breaking through to the Golden Core.

"I also looked at the disciples that the Federation wanted to install. Most of them came with the idea of learning and researching the knowledge and power system of the cultivation world, but there are really a few whose roots are also okay.

"I picked two of them for you."

Xiaoyao arranged disciples for Ma En because he wanted him to be able to establish contact with the sect members. Although Ma En, as a Federation member, would not have as strong feelings for the disciples as the masters and disciples in the cultivation world, he could see that Ma En was definitely not the kind of truly cold-blooded person. As long as the disciples sincerely respected him, they would definitely have feelings after accumulating over time.

Ma En said without any objection:

"What kind of guys are they?"

Xiaoyao raised his hand, and mist floated out of his sleeve, circling in front of him and Ma En, and then the hazy scene began to slowly appear in the mist and become clearer, reflecting the scene of the library.

And a refined woman who looked quite young was sitting at the table, concentrating on reading the books recording the basic knowledge of cultivation in her hand. There were also a few young people sitting scattered behind her.

"Her name is Luan Linghua. She is the child of a Federation politician. After the Federation took the bone measurement plate, it must have first conducted root checks within those politicians. Thirty percent of those children with good roots came from political families.

"And she is the one with the best roots among the people sent by the Federation. And although she is the child of a Federation politician, her personality is still quite good. She is very humble and peaceful to others, and it is not the kind of pretense.

"After all, she was born in such a good family, so she doesn't have to worry about all kinds of things, and she also has wealthy and powerful elders to educate her, and she hasn't officially embarked on an official career, so it is actually very natural to have this kind of personality.

"And the Luan family behind her is also a considerable force in the Federation, not much different from the Shu family you used to cooperate with. Although Luan Linghua's status in her family before cannot be compared with your past partner, it may not be the case in the future.

"Now the Federation is still very coveted for our knowledge and power of the cultivation world, and this power itself is indeed strong enough. If she can achieve something on the road of cultivation, her status in the family will naturally rise, and you can also use her and the family behind her to get closer.

"You have never really taught and imparted knowledge, so you may not be able to truly imagine the relationship between master and disciple, but there is a saying in our cultivation world that one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father. This is not a tacit unspoken rule, but because the act of teaching cultivation itself means a lot. In this relationship, the relationship between you and the disciple cannot be bad.

"In the end, cultivators, being in this kind of master-disciple relationship for a long time, will definitely produce a connection that is no less than the blood of an ordinary family, and the time that masters and disciples spend together is often longer than that of ordinary families.

"Although the barren world is different from the cultivation world, this sentence is still applicable here. The disciple I picked for you is also the kind who will respect the teacher and value the Tao, and you can take the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with her.

"Then you can use her to re-establish cooperation with the factions within the Federation.

"I guess you haven't given up on contact with the Federation, right."

Ma En nodded with gratitude:

"That's right, after all, the Federation is the strongest force here."

Xiaoyao waved his hand, and then the scene in the mist changed to a place like an indoor training ground, and a young boy who looked only a dozen years old was sweating profusely while practicing boxing.

"This child is called Shen Tianyi," Xiaoyao continued to introduce, "He is from the eastern part of the Southern Federation and can speak fluent Eastern Federation language and Southern Federation language. He is among the top three in terms of roots among the disciples I found this time.

"He also has a body that is very suitable for being a body cultivator, but these are not the most important. The reason why I chose him to be your disciple is because he has the best temperament among all the sect disciples.

"This child's parents abandoned him. An old man from the Southern Federation picked him up, and a few months ago, after his grandfather was bedridden, he abandoned all his future and worked hard for his grandfather day and night without eating or sleeping. When I found him and proposed to recruit him as a disciple, the only request he made was to cure his grandfather.

"After I gave his grandfather a few pills that could cure diseases and prolong life, and left enough money, he followed me back with the idea of repaying his kindness, and according to my observation, he is also very kind at heart. The old man who raised him taught him right and wrong. After all, the person who is willing to raise this orphan must be a good person.

"And besides that, he also has a strong ambition. He has been poor for more than ten years and has enough motivation and will to endure hard and diligent cultivation. In the barren world, a disciple with such a temperament can already be considered perfect. Although his roots are not the best, I think he is the most promising among the first batch of disciples to break through to the Golden Core. Even if he is lucky, he may not be able to try to challenge the Nascent Soul realm before he dies, and the most important thing for you is...

"He knows how to be grateful. As long as you are sincerely good to him, he will never betray you for the sake of benefits."

Ma En nodded slightly:

"It sounds like educating these two disciples will have different benefits for me."

But what he was really thinking about was which of them was a Serraon spy.
