The immortal is beside me

Chapter 49 Do you know Yuan Tiangang?
The office building of the Environmental Investigation and Defense Bureau's Liangzhou branch.

In the office on the third floor, Lu Zhenhai sat in front of the computer desk. The screen in front of him displayed the interface of the internal system platform of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau. Dense messages occupied most of the screen, waiting for his review.

After the initial pacification of the Peach Blossom Spring incident, combat missions within the city decreased dramatically, while the accompanying civilian workload increased exponentially. As his injuries improved slightly, he returned to the bureau, facing a mountain of documents and information.

Lu Zhenhai scrolled through the messages in the system one by one. When he finished reading the seventh one, the system beeped and two highlighted messages were pinned to the top of the system. The notes next to them indicated that both messages came from the Astronomical Observation and Inspection Institute.

He clicked on the first message and frowned slightly.

"The Tianji Academy has issued a Level 3 recruitment order?"

Within China's extraordinary system, each major unit is nominally independent, but in the final analysis, the extraordinary circle is so small that any two units will inevitably have business handovers.

To facilitate communication, there are also some group messages similar to general broadcasts within the system, and the call for submissions is one of the more urgent ones.

In the context of the supernatural, a call for help is equivalent to the beacon fire in ancient times. It is a notice requesting support from all supernatural departments under the official command. Most of the time, it is asking for help in finding clues to an important person or important event.

However, the Tianji Academy had already launched a second-level recruitment order two years ago, soliciting methods to prolong life from major supernatural units across the country. After that, it sent out several similar messages intermittently, and now it has raised the recruitment level to the highest level three, which means that the situation is extremely urgent.

Lu Zhenhai looked thoughtful for a moment, then clicked the distribute button to convey the message to each action team.

As early as when the second-level recruitment order was issued, the Liangzhou Environmental Sanitation Bureau mobilized the monks' network resources within the bureau and found several monks specializing in medicine to connect with the Tianji Academy, which can be said to be their best efforts.

Now that the level of the call for submissions has been further raised, it is clear that previous efforts have not been effective.

But the branch has only so many connections, and it is impossible for a powerful person with miraculous healing powers to appear out of thin air just because a third-level recruitment order is issued. All he can do is distribute the information according to the procedure. As for the result, it is not something the Environmental Sanitation Bureau can decide.

After processing the first message from Tianjiyuan, he clicked on the second one.

This one is point-to-point, and the content is: "Application for viewing the information of monk 'Zhou Qing'".

Zhou Qing? Lu Zhenhai was slightly startled. Why was Yizhou Tianji Academy looking for him?

Although Yizhou Tianji Academy and Liangzhou Environmental Sanitation Bureau belong to the same extraordinary system, they are separated by regions and systems, and they do not have much intersection in normal times.

He had just reported the relevant information to the capital a few days ago, and a few days later, Yizhou Tianjiyuan sent a letter saying that they wanted to find Zhou Qing, which was obviously quite urgent.

He clicked on the application, and there was a line of words clearly written in the column of application reason.

[Our hospital initially suspects that this person is related to the Guardian Heavenly Master and requests further investigation and confirmation]

Guardian Heavenly Master. Even though Lv Zhenhai was not in the Tianji Academy system, he knew that there was only one person with this title.

Then Zhou Qing might be connected to Yuan Tiangang, and considering the recruitment order sent at the same time.
Could it be that Tianjiyuan wants to ask Zhou Qing to treat Yuan Tiangang?
This made Lu Zhenhai scratch his head.

If he was asked to kill someone, he would have absolutely no doubt about Zhou Qing's ability. However, turning a living person into a dead person is one thing, and turning a dead person into a living person is another. Does that powerful person have the means to bring a dead person back to life?
Although he thought so in his mind, since it involved two top powers, he did not dare to be negligent at all.

He pondered for a moment and picked up the phone.

"Li Yulan? Tell that girl under you to pass on a message." "A Level 3 call for submissions of longevity methods from all units and departments. This is it again."

Inside the Extraordinary Research Institute of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Cheng Xiaomeng looked at the text displayed on the tablet and raised his hand to scratch his forehead.

Like the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, the Super Research Institute is also a supernatural system unit, and naturally also received two messages from the Tianji Academy.

"I remember that Tianji Academy had already released similar content two years ago. Now it's been released again, and the level has been raised. It seems that the previous call for submissions was ineffective."

She was commenting on this, and her words caught the attention of Qin Jiajia, who was standing nearby. "Whose life are they trying to extend?"

When she asked this question, a name had already appeared in her mind, and Cheng Xiaomeng's next words verified what she was thinking.

"The news came from the Tianji Academy, and they sent several letters in a row. The only person who could cause them to go to such great lengths to fight is probably Yuan Tiangang."

Cheng Xiaomeng pinched her chin and pondered, "They're so desperate this time that they even used a Level 3 Recruitment Order. It seems that the powerful man is really not in good condition. If he dies, then this will be a big trouble."

"What? Yuan Tiangang is going to die?!"

A nearby researcher's eyes widened upon hearing this. "We finally found a relic related to him, and I was counting on it to be recognized as an advanced researcher this year. Now that he's dead, won't the value of this artifact plummet? My hard-earned achievement is gone just like that!"

"Don't dwell on your advanced achievements," Cheng Xiaomeng said unhappily. "This is all just speculation right now. But if Yuan Tiangang really passes away, I'm afraid many of the monsters and demons that were previously suppressed by the country will resurface. We will definitely be swept up in it. It's a situation where no one will be left unscathed."

"What can we do? When the Tianji Academy issued the call for talent, didn't the director personally lead the research and development of a life-extending drug? In the end, it seems like it was never used."

The group was discussing enthusiastically over there, while at the same time, Qin Jiajia, who was sitting at the next table, was also lost in thought.

Her understanding of the supernatural system was only elementary, and she couldn't fully understand what these researchers were talking about. But even so, she could sense the seriousness of their discussion, like a storm brewing.

Buzz, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. She took a look at the incoming call and hurried outside to answer it.

"Hey, Director Li, I'm listening. Okay, I get it. Let me try it."

After hanging up the phone, she opened WeChat and clicked on the contact named "Qing".

During the previous negotiations, although Zhou Qing showed no interest in the official itself, he inquired about the current situation in the cultivation world through her.

Although this level of understanding was similar to browsing newspaper news, with no concrete action required, and it was simply for fun, the people at the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, after studying it, believed that this was a sign that he was still paying attention to the developments in the cultivation world, and they wanted to use this as a way to stay in touch with him.

So after that meeting, she would tell him about any developments in the cultivation world she heard. On the one hand, it was to complete the task assigned by her leader, and on the other hand, it was simply to take care of the elderly man in the cultivation world who had lost his internet connection.

Now her boss had called her specifically to pass on a message. Although she didn't know the specific reason, since it was such a formal notice, she had to take it seriously.

Qin Jiajia thought for a while and typed a sentence on the screen.

"Zhou Qing, do you know Yuan Tiangang?"
