Chapter 57: The Divine Swallowing Technique

"Exactly, that's why we need the True Person to help regulate the situation," Lan Haitian said. After he finished speaking, the summit of Lingfeng Mountain fell into a silence.

After a long while, Shi Qing's voice finally came through.

"The预定的门生 of Jumang Dao Academy, I cannot interfere with. Shangqing should be aware of this matter; you should discuss it with her."

"I have already talked to her, but she is very firm in her stance. It might require the True Person to speak to her personally."

"I understand. Summon her in my name."

After receiving Shi Qing's approval, Lan Haitian immediately used the amplifier to call the representative of Jumang Dao Academy who had come to Danxia City.

However, the call was directly hung up, and he awkwardly sent a text message.

Not long after, a plain-looking woman dressed like a village auntie arrived. She first gave Lan Haitian a look of disgust, then respectfully bowed to Shi Qing, who was inside the wooden house.

"Shangqing has seen the True Person."

"Qingnü may be related to the forbidden technique of Zixiao Palace, and might have been implanted with a divine seed. Lan Haitian wants to bring her to Kunpeng Dao Academy for personal protection. What do you think?"

At Shi Qing's level of cultivation and status, there was no need to beat around the bush, and he went straight to the point.

"Since it's only a possibility, if there were concrete evidence, I would have no objections. Moreover, even if she has been implanted with a divine seed, wouldn't it be better to send her to the Imperial Medical Academy?"

Shangqing did not directly refuse but expressed her rejection tactfully.

"Understood, let it be then."

Shi Qing did not use his authority to force the issue, as Shangqing's point was reasonable, and it was only a possibility.

Lan Haitian could only sigh in regret, marveling at how Gu Changfeng had made a good move by finding a place for his disciple in advance.

However, this lead might still be worth pursuing.

With this thought, Lan Haitian and Shangqing bid farewell and left Lingfeng Mountain.

…

After dinner, Chen Mobai was about to continue searching online for information about forbidden techniques when a call from an unknown number came in.

"Hello, this is Lan Haitian."

"How do you know my number?"

Chen Mobai was puzzled. He had only met this guy twice and was not familiar with him.

"Didn't you leave your number with the police? I got it from them."

"Are you also an enforcement cultivator?"

Chen Mobai was startled, thinking his secret had been discovered. But he quickly realized it was probably because of Gu Changfeng.

"There's something I need your help with. I'm waiting for you at Changqing Pharmacy. You can come in through the back door; I've already opened it."

After saying this, Lan Haitian hung up. Chen Mobai's expression changed, but thinking of the other party's status as a Foundation Establishment cultivator and possibly an enforcement cultivator, he had no choice.

In the end, he sighed, changed into a black hoodie, and told his mother he was going out for a walk.

Changqing Pharmacy.

Chen Mobai followed the instructions and walked to the back door. The seal had been removed, and the door was slightly ajar.

"Come in."

Lan Haitian's voice came from inside. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but pushed the door open and entered.

The familiar courtyard, with rows of medicine jars, but all the medicine inside had been emptied, leaving them empty and desolate.

Lan Haitian was sitting on the edge of the central medicine jar, swinging his legs and looking up at the gradually darkening sky.

"Senior, what do you need from me?"

"If Gu Changfeng has cultivated a forbidden technique, your little girlfriend is the chosen cauldron. Do you want to save her?"

Indeed, it wasn't about the secret of the turtle shell. Chen Mobai felt a sudden relief, but he didn't want Lan Haitian to notice. Fortunately, he had been wearing a cap, and the dim light hid most of his face.

"I'm just a regular friend with her, but if it's possible, I definitely want to save her."

He followed Lan Haitian's lead.

"Foundation Establishment cultivators generally can't resist the temptation of forbidden techniques. Although Gu Changfeng hasn't shown any signs yet, when I probed his mental strength at the police station, I found it far exceeded his current level. I can confirm he has cultivated the Divine Swallowing Technique."

"Once someone starts cultivating a forbidden technique, it's hard to stop. They will inevitably end up on the path of cultivating a cauldron and planting a divine seed."

"The final fate of a cauldron is usually worse than death."

After saying this, Lan Haitian, sitting on the medicine jar, lowered his head and made eye contact with Chen Mobai at the door. Chen Mobai suppressed his various emotions and pretended to be reluctant.

"If you are an enforcement cultivator, I will definitely cooperate, but you seem too suspicious, and I don't trust you."

"I am not an enforcement cultivator," Lan Haitian replied, jumping down from the medicine jar and walking towards Chen Mobai. Just as the latter's heart was pounding, thinking he was about to be threatened, Lan Haitian suddenly said, "I am from the Hall of Righteous Law."

The three major halls of the Immortal Sect!

The Hall of Immortal Affairs, the Hall of Righteous Law, and the Hall of Kaiyuan!

Among these, the Hall of Righteous Law commands all the armed forces of the Immortal Sect, and the enforcement police department is also under their jurisdiction when necessary.

"Can you prove it?"

Chen Mobai still pretended to be skeptical. Lan Haitian really opened his phone and showed him his credentials.

"This is my Law Practitioner number in the Hall of Righteous Law. If you say I got it from a fake document maker, then I can't prove it any further."

Chen Mobai glanced at it, pretending to reluctantly accept it, and nodded.

"Alright, what should I do?"

"You can keep an eye on your friend's mental state. If she starts to become mentally confused or delirious, you can inform me."

"From what I see, Master Qingnü expelled her early to protect her, so she doesn't seem like a bad person."

"You don't understand the allure of forbidden techniques; they can turn a sheep into a wolf."

Chen Mobai swallowed, and by this time, Lan Haitian had already passed him and was walking towards the back door.

"How do I contact you?"

"I already called you, didn't I? That's my number; remember to save it." Lan Haitian's voice came from behind. Chen Mobai turned around, but he was already gone, leaving only the final words, "When you leave, remember to reseal the door."
