The immortal is beside me

Chapter 55 Strategic-level monk

Yizhou Tianjiyuan.

"Have you arranged everything for the Yulu Sect?"

"Twelve monks have been assigned to monitor the situation 24 hours a day. So far, the other party has not made any moves."

"Okay, that's all for today. You can go back."

After watching his subordinates walk out the door, Luo Mingxian slowly sat cross-legged on the cushion in the office, holding his forehead with one hand.

In the past eight hours, he first saw the heavily guarded Tianji Academy being entered and exited at will, then the Heavenly Master miraculously came back to life, and then he witnessed an old demon in the Nascent Soul stage die silently in front of him.

Any one of these three things would be jaw-dropping. But everyone in Tianji Academy dropped their jaws three times in a matter of hours, and even now, it still felt unreal.

The instigator of all this was the person I saw this afternoon.
He put his hands in his hair and thought about the events of the past few hours.

If the normal course of events had continued, and Zheng Yi Qiu, the sect's envoy, had died in the territory of Tianji Academy, the situation of Zheng Yi Qiu, the person in charge, would have been absolutely dire.

You have to know that Zheng Yiqiu is backed by the Yulu Sect, a major Shu clan. Although various Yizhou organizations had previously had a few incidents with this sect, there had never been an overt conflict. However, with this incident, relations between the two sides were bound to plummet.

Given this trend, he should have been extremely nervous at this moment, but when he thought about how Zheng Yiqiu died, he really couldn't be nervous anymore.

After cleaning up Zheng Yi Qiu's body, he also discussed with Yuan Tiangang what would happen if the Yu Lu Sect made a fuss about this matter, and the answer he got was "Don't worry about what happens to them anymore."

Luo Mingxian knew the hidden meaning behind his words - with that old friend around, there would be no more "whatever".

There was a buzzing sound, and the phone on the table suddenly vibrated. I picked it up and saw that the incoming call was from an internal encrypted number, and the area code displayed at the front was Liangzhou.

He picked up the phone and heard a unfamiliar male voice coming from the receiver.

"Is this Director Luo Mingxian? I'm Lv Zhenhai, the executive director of the Liangzhou branch of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau."

The other party exchanged a few pleasantries. "Today, I saw in the system flow that the Tianji Academy is applying to investigate a cultivator named 'Zhou Qing.' I hope to discuss this matter with you in detail."

Lu Zhenhai from Liangzhou Branch?

Luo Mingxian's expression became slightly more serious. Although he hadn't had much interaction with his colleagues from this external system before, the news about Zhou Qing had come from the Liangzhou Environmental Sanitation Bureau, and that alone was something he needed to take seriously.

"You can simply understand that he has a close connection with our powerful ruler."

"A powerful being in charge? Does that mean he's connected to Yuan Tianshi?" The voice on the other end suddenly grew cautious. "Are you sure?"

"It seems to be confirmed at the moment." Luo Mingxian took a deep breath, "In fact, he has already been to the hospital today."

"What?! He's going to Tianjiyuan so soon?"

The tone suddenly rose, as if he was shocked to hear that the goddess he had been pursuing for many years was suddenly stolen away by his brother. The high pitch of the tone startled Luo Mingxian slightly.

"We don't know the details. But he did suddenly appear in the Tianji Academy, healed the Heavenly Master, and helped us resolve some problems. He left shortly after that."

Luo Mingxian said, "We witnessed everything described above. So far, no one has figured out what methods he used. We have already planned to report this matter to the capital."

There was a long silence on the phone, and the sound of heavy breathing could be vaguely heard. When he spoke again, his speed was obviously faster.

"Dean Luo, I feel that a new strategic-level cultivator may emerge in the country."

Luo Mingxian was slightly stunned.

Strategic-level cultivators are the highest official rating for internal cultivators in China. Nominations require joint certification from the three major systems of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, the Tianji Academy, and the Chao Research Institute. After nomination, they must undergo an extremely strict review process, which often takes several years.

The level of cultivation is only one factor. In addition to strength, factors such as contribution to the country, historical accumulation, network of relationships in the cultivation world, past behavior style, and even united front values ​​are all evaluation indicators.

The standards are so high and the dimensions are so broad that anyone who sees it will be amazed.

The treatment enjoyed by strategic-level monks was also very simple and straightforward: within the scope of the extraordinary system's management, they could unconditionally draw on national resources. This represented the highest degree of official trust in extraordinary individuals.

For example, Yuan Tiangang is a typical strategic level person.

His cultivation has reached the level of a god, and his strength is top-notch.

He specializes in Yi Shu and is irreplaceable.

He has a peaceful temperament, is friendly to ordinary people, has a positive attitude towards the government, and cooperates quite a bit.

He has trained countless disciples of Yi Shu for China and single-handedly built most of the Tianji Academy system, making a huge contribution.

It is involved with many important forces in the world of immortal cultivation, such as the Jiuli Immortal Alliance, but at the same time it does not stand on the side of any force, and its united front value is extremely high.

His name was recorded in secular historical materials such as "Old Book of Tang" and "Zizhi Tongjian". He had direct interactions with many historical figures such as Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Taizong of Tang, and his level of historical accumulation was extremely high.

The accumulation of various factors like the above constitutes the strategic level status. Within the government, each strategic level has a unique title, such as Yuan Tiangang's title is "Tianshi".

Judging from the current situation, although Zhou Qing is not currently within the official system, the many dimensions he has demonstrated are very conspicuous and his value is no less than Yuan Tiangang. Both Lu Zhenhai and Luo Mingxian believe that he is absolutely worthy of this title.

Now, the only system that has not yet expressed its position is the Super Research Institute.

In past strategic-level nominations, the Super Research Institute was often the most difficult stage. After all, indicators such as strength, contribution and relationships can be seen at a glance, while historical accumulation requires repeated excavation and confirmation - and this is exactly the field of the Super Research Institute.

Perhaps it's time to provide them with some historical clues.
"Dean Luo, regarding Zhou Qing, could you please ask the Heavenly Master for more details about him?" Lu Zhenhai asked. "If possible, we would like to send someone to meet with the Heavenly Master and ask him in person. Do you think you can grant this permission?"

"The Heavenly Master has just recovered and has many other things to attend to. If we want to meet, we'll have to schedule an appointment at least three months from now," Luo Mingxian said. "He's not in the academy right now. When he returns, I'll ask for his advice."

"Thank you very much." Lu Zhenhai seemed to be relieved. "Can I ask one last question, where is that great man and the Heavenly Master now?"

"he"

Luo Mingxian took a deep breath and said, "He asked Tianshi to go eat hot pot with him. He said it's a rare trip to Yizhou, and he wanted to taste the local specialties."
