Chapter 300: Lord Jing's Indignation

In early November, the Lingyan Pavilion was reopened to award medals to the monks who participated in the defense of the southern border.

The medal was made of pure gold, and considering the current price of gold, it was probably worth quite a bit of money. It depicted a tropical rainforest background, with a soldier holding a gun standing in the middle of the jungle, his face solemn and his eyes determined.

At the same time, all monks received national certificates and honorary titles: Guardians of Southern Border.

In addition, there is a cash reward of 25 million per person - which can only be regarded as a negligible expenditure for the treasury, because the consumption capacity of this group of monks is actually very limited. Most of the money is saved and placed in the bank warehouse. When rounded off, it is almost equivalent to not giving out the money.

Everyone is obsessed with the pure gold medal, is complacent about the honorary title, and doesn't care much about the cash rewards.

After all, we are not short of money.

Invest? No one in my family knows how to run a business. Buy a house? My family all lives in a military compound, so there's no need. Buy luxury goods? I practice cultivation from morning till night, so there's no time for you to go shopping and show off your wealth and superiority!

This is also a common problem around the world: Extraordinary people basically do not participate in the economic production activities of human society. From beginning to end, they are either practicing or becoming stronger, and they also consume a lot of resources... In all countries or regions where extraordinary regimes dominate, the living standards of ordinary mortals are basically declining rapidly, and there is no bottom line.

After the awarding ceremony, everyone went back home.

Considering that there would be no more war missions assigned in the short term, Su Yunjin went to collect the newly melted snow water again and took a temporary leave for a while.

Yan Yu will also stay in Pingjing for a few days. As one of the only two cultivators in the country who have established their foundation, he has to experience all the scientific research treatment that Master Jing had experienced.

Draw blood, take hair, scan...

As the researchers investigated, they felt something was wrong.

What is a spiritual root? A spiritual root is not an actual organ in the body. Its correct name is "the body's affinity for spiritual energy."

Yan Yu's affinity for spiritual energy was extremely poor, so poor that he had almost no spontaneous breathing effect in a high-concentration spiritual energy environment. The researchers had to check the data several times... and they also replaced the research monk with a reference group for comparison.

There is still no problem. Judging from the results of the instruments, Yan Yu’s aptitude for cultivation is indeed not very good.

Of course, the instrument test results do not represent everything, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the fact that he has now entered the marrow cleansing stage.

The technical level of the instrument is constantly improving. For example, during the high-pressure blood test in May of the first half of the year, colds, allergies, and women's menstrual period...all of these factors would cause the detection of spiritual energy to fail. Only later were these factors gradually discovered and improved.

Therefore, everyone can only regard Yan Yu as some kind of spiritual qualification that "instruments cannot detect for the time being" and simply use it to enrich scientific research data cases.

After finishing today's research, Yan Yu left the experimental base and saw Liu Longtao and Ye Jun waiting for him outside.

"Old Yan, you're quite good." Liu Longtao chuckled. "I heard that your cultivation aptitude is average. Did you reach Foundation Establishment by activating Wind Spirit Moon Shadow?"

"That's enough. Try to use a cheat for me." Yan Yu responded.

"Haha, I don't need it." Liu Longtao said proudly, "I can level up faster than you even without cheating."

Ye Jun beside him sighed helplessly. The captain was usually a very mature and steady person, but every time he met Yan Yu, he was like a fisherman who often went fishing, always wanting to compete with each other. I really don't know who is the problem between the two of them.

"Going out for dinner?" Liu Longtao opened the car door.

"Let's go," Yan Yu said. The three of them went to a hot pot restaurant and had some hot pot meat and drank a dozen glasses of wine. Liu Longtao laughed and said:
"I remember when we had our first meal together, I was scolded by you, my grandson, saying that my personality was not suitable for partnering with Ye Jun. What do you think now?"

"I still hold the same opinion." Yan Yu said bluntly, "Ye Jun is a complete waste with you."

Ye Jun stood by and held his forehead with his hand helplessly, not wanting to get involved in their childish conversation at all.

"Forget it." Liu Longtao chuckled, "How about you try to woo her? If you can win her over and make her go with you voluntarily, I will definitely not stop you."

"That's enough." Ye Jun started to have a headache and explained to Yan Yu, "He drank too much and didn't even need to say 'you'."

"I know." Yan Yu narrowed his eyes, looked at Jing Ye who was still drinking by himself, and suddenly said, "It seems that Jing Ye has been under a lot of pressure recently."

"The regulations for the management of civilian cultivators have just been released," Ye Jun explained. "He's already unhappy."

Folk monks were not recognized in the former Lu Kingdom. First, you couldn't show up, so I pretended there were no folk monks. Second, if you showed up, those who had committed crimes would be killed, and those who hadn't committed crimes would be taken away and taken into custody, and then I continued to pretend there were no folk monks.

As time went by when spiritual energy was reviving, more and more folk monks accidentally embarked on the path of cultivation. The higher-ups of the Privy Council could no longer turn a blind eye and had to introduce the "Regulations on the Management of Folk Monks", which institutionalized the things that had been done privately in the past.

"What's so unpleasant about this?" Yan Yu asked in surprise, "Hasn't this been the way it's been done before this regulation came out?"

"It's like this," Ye Jun explained. "At the end of last month, a murder occurred in Pingjing. The victim's entire family was killed, and the murderer was a folk cultivator. Later investigations revealed that this person had excellent cultivation aptitude, so the Dingbei Army negotiated with the Dali Temple and decided not to go through the legal process. Instead, they compensated the victim's family and gained their forgiveness, and then secretly recruited this person."

"Wasn't the victim's entire family killed? Where are his family members?" Yan Yu asked with a frown.

"He has a distant cousin." Ye Jun sighed.

Since they are distant relatives, their relationship must not be very close, so they will naturally choose to accept money to settle the matter. Then who will seek justice for the deceased family?
Therefore, the cultivation qualifications of that folk cultivator were probably so excellent that the Dingbei Army was even willing to use means to interfere with criminal cases to prevent the Dali Temple from filing a lawsuit.

"Who is the murderer?" Yan Yu continued to ask, "What's his name?"

"Fan Wentang," Ye Jun replied, "was originally an unemployed thug who worked as a nightclub security guard. A customer threw a drink in his face, and he harbored a grudge, so he followed the customer home and killed him. But I heard that the customer wasn't a good person either, and had been to the police station several times for fighting..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Longtao, who had been silent beside her, suddenly said:
"Even if he's in trouble, his children are innocent, right? He doesn't even let his children go. He's worse than an animal."

Yan Yu also fell silent.

He had heard of Fan Wentang's name in his previous life. Perhaps because he was suppressed by the Dingbei Army, he didn't know that he was discovered by the Dingbei Army because he had committed a murder.

This person's qualities were indeed poor, and his personality was quite arrogant, but his combat prowess was indeed formidable. His profession was a Lord Envoy, and like Chen Lingyun, he was a ghost user, known as the nation's number one ghost user. If one were to ignore his character, he certainly had the qualities to warrant the Dingbei Army's protection.

"No, I can't stand it anymore." Liu Longtao suddenly put down his wine glass, stood up and said, "I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

"Hey, don't get excited..." Before Ye Jun could dissuade him, Jing Ye had already strode out of the store and turned into a sword light soaring into the sky.

"Follow?" Yan Yu asked.

"Of course!" Ye Jun grabbed the shoulder bag beside him and stood up quickly.
