Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

The Zhang family was busy with many affairs, and even though the tombs on the dragon vein had been cleared, Su Xingze couldn't find the time to go and merge with the spiritual vein.

Furthermore, merging with spiritual veins is a major undertaking. Once spiritual energy is revived, demons, monsters, and evil spirits will also revive along with it.

To prevent evil spirits from harming people after the revival of spiritual energy, the Zhang family and the government jointly established a new department called the Special Events Handling Department, or Special Affairs Department for short.

This new department is headed by an elder of the Zhang family, with two officials appointed as deputy heads. Its members include talented individuals from the common people, as well as cultivators specially sent to the Zhang family for training by the authorities.

With official support, coupled with the Zhang family's own intelligence network, any unusual events that occur across the country will be reported in a timely manner, and the Special Affairs Department will immediately dispatch members to handle them.

In the early days of the Special Affairs Department, due to the issue of talent cultivation, most of the teams were composed of members of the Zhang family. However, in the following years, the number of non-Zhang family members gradually increased.

After a decade-long cleanup, special incidents across the country, while not nonexistent, no longer have a significant impact.

In the late 70s, Su Xingze and Zhang Qiling entered the Bronze Gate for the second time. This time, in addition to them, three outstanding talents selected by the authorities also entered the Bronze Gate.

The contents inside the bronze gate are of paramount importance, concerning the safety of this world. Relying solely on the Zhang family for protection is bound to lead to unforeseen circumstances.

The country is not what it used to be, so it would be better to transfer some of the gatekeeping responsibilities to the state, and thereafter the state and officials would jointly assume the gatekeeping duties.

The purpose of Su Xingze and his companion entering the door was to show the officials what was inside. Under their protection, these officials would face the newly born monsters inside the door on their own.

They will not provide assistance in battle unless there is a life-threatening danger. Officials must witness the dangers behind the bronze gate firsthand and cannot afford to take chances.

The number of monsters that spawn inside the gate each year is not large, but the officials had never seen such bizarre monsters before, so things didn't go smoothly at first. Fortunately, these three were selected from a group of elites, and they adapted to fighting the monsters inside the gate in just one month.

After clearing out the new batch of spawning monsters and confirming that the officials were aware of the situation inside the gate, Su Xingze and Zhang Qiling led the three of them out.

As soon as they left the bronze gate, the two immediately began to merge the spiritual veins. The journey was incredibly smooth, and nothing unexpected happened.

Clearly, the world consciousness is more anxious than anyone else about merging with the spiritual veins.

Their first stop was Changbai Mountain. Merging with the spiritual veins wasn't difficult; the challenge lay in the fact that Su Xingze needed to be fully immersed in the process without any interruptions.

While he was merging with the spiritual veins, Zhang Qiling stayed by his side, guarding against any possible accidents.

After that, the two traveled almost all over the country. There are three major dragon veins in China, and dozens of smaller dragon veins extend from these three major dragon veins.

There's no need to worry about the smaller dragon veins. Once the three major dragon veins merge into a spiritual vein, these smaller dragon veins will naturally develop their own spiritual veins over time.

However, it took Su Xingze a year and a half just to transform the three major dragon veins.

The moment the last dragon vein successfully merged, the entire continent seemed to tremble.

Zhang Qiling helped Su Xingze look up at the sky, where three giant dragon phantoms soared across the cloudless blue sky.

The illusory image of the swirling dragon lasted for thirty seconds. During those thirty seconds, people all over the country saw the soaring dragon and even seemed to hear a long and joyful dragon roar.

"It's done."

Su Xingze could sense the spiritual energy in the air gradually becoming denser, and as time went on, the spiritual energy in the world would become more and more abundant.

Unfortunately, China is currently the only country in the world with three intermediate-level spiritual veins, and the increase in spiritual energy concentration is very limited. Before the world consciousness fully digests the spiritual veins, China will be the only country in the world with spiritual veins.

This is both a challenge and an opportunity for the country. With the existence of spiritual veins and cultivation techniques, China has already taken the lead over the world. By the time other countries realize this, China will have already become powerful.

In response to this, China had already made contingency plans. Their mission was complete, and what happened afterward was no longer their concern.

Zhang Qiling reached out and ruffled Su Xingze's hair, then carried him back to the portable cave dwelling placed to the side.

He forced Su Xingze to rest, but Su Xingze couldn't resist him and had a good long sleep. When he woke up, he was greeted by a table of highly nourishing spiritual food, with a plate of thinly sliced, crystal-clear dragon meat in the middle.

"They said they wanted to build a university near Changbai Mountain."

Holding his rice bowl, Su Xingze casually mentioned the message Zhang Fukong had sent him earlier.

"This university mainly teaches knowledge related to cultivation. It has been initially decided that the university will be divided into three major departments: the Cultivation Department, which focuses on cultivation; the Arts Department, which teaches cultivation techniques; and the Spiritual Energy Department, which focuses on the research of the combination of spiritual energy and technology."

"They hope you can serve as the principal of this school and the dean of the cultivation department, and they hope I can become the dean of the Hundred Arts and the honorary dean of the psychic energy department."

"They've got a good plan. They know that the entire Zhang family combined can't compete with the two of us in these two areas. Do you think we should agree to their offer?"

Su Xingze ate a piece of spiritual plant that resembled wasabi. The pungent smell made his eyes water. He tilted his head back, and the tears rolled down his cheeks.

Zhang Qiling's gaze fell on the falling teardrop, and she raised her hand to gently wipe away the newly formed teardrop from the corner of his eye.

"I can agree to that."

The Zhang family is currently cooperating well with the authorities and is in a honeymoon period, but this harmonious situation cannot last forever, and they need to make plans as soon as possible.

This school will be the first training school for practitioners in the country, and its significance to the nation is unimaginable.

Becoming the principal of this school would be more beneficial than harmful to the Zhang family at present.

After the successful fusion of the spiritual veins, various mysterious events have gradually increased due to the revival of spiritual energy. Fortunately, the authorities had already made preparations, and so far, no major losses have been caused.

After 85, the basic breathing exercises were promoted to the general public. Initially, they were promoted under the guise of improved physical fitness exercises, and those who made significant progress were selected to further study the true basic breathing exercises.

It took three years for the basic Qi cultivation method to be promoted among the general public, starting from a small group of people, then a large group, and finally to the whole nation.

During this period, the actions taken domestically also attracted some attention abroad. The basic Qi cultivation method promoted nationwide was learned by foreign countries, and foreign countries also discovered the secret of the spiritual energy revival through the basic Qi cultivation method and some mysterious events that occurred in China.

The basic Qi cultivation method was originally designed by Zhang Qiling based on the physical condition of Chinese people. Foreigners could achieve half the effect by practicing it, and he considered himself to be exceptionally talented, but the results he achieved were not significant.

They also put pressure on the country, hoping that it would hand over the secrets of cultivation. Unfortunately, after nearly 20 years of development, China is no longer the China that foreign countries know.

The successful development of nuclear bombs, psionic missiles, and psionic fighters has given the Chinese people the confidence to stand tall and confront those so-called world powers.

During this period, due to the resurgence of spiritual energy, a civil war also broke out in the country of Pleasant.

After the resurgence of spiritual energy, some of the remaining indigenous people in the beautiful country possessed mysterious powers. During this period, a major case of persecution against the indigenous people occurred. The indigenous people, who had long suffered persecution, held a mysterious ritual and summoned a monster, intending to take revenge on their persecutors.

Their revenge was successful, and the monster went out of control as a result.

Because of the United States' overly liberal religious beliefs, such incidents occur frequently. Faced with domestic turmoil, the United States has had no choice but to change its attitude towards China.

Following that, several other countries expressed their desire to establish good cooperative relations with China.
