A passing traveler through the heavens

The next morning, Ji Lin woke up slowly in the large bed at the Peninsula Hotel.

After stretching, I couldn't wait to open the system interface to check the random rewards I received after completing yesterday's task.

A light flashed on the screen, and an ancient cultivation manual slowly appeared—the "Merit Law"! Ji Lin immediately began to read it carefully.

According to reports, this practice can help practitioners accumulate merit.

The Golden Wheel of Merit can not only assist cultivators in resisting the intrusion of external inner demons during cultivation, but also ensure a smooth path of cultivation.

Moreover, it can significantly enhance the cultivator's own fortune, making them feel as if they have divine assistance during the cultivation process, and easily break through bottlenecks.

More importantly, this Golden Wheel of Merit can shine brightly and display astonishing power under certain special circumstances.

For example, it can eliminate natural disasters and man-made calamities; or when practitioners are entangled in karma and find it difficult to break free, it can also help clear away karmic obstacles and help people be reborn.

Furthermore, if the Golden Wheel of Merit is used to help the deceased find peace, its effects are also extremely significant.

It can absolve the grave sins committed by the deceased in their lifetime, helping their soul to be reborn in the Pure Land and into a happy and fulfilling family in their next life.

Of course, it is not an easy thing to cultivate this merit-making method.

According to the cultivation method, practitioners must constantly slay demons and monsters and perform good deeds to accumulate merit before they are qualified to condense the Golden Wheel of Merit.

Moreover, this Merit Method is not just about the Golden Wheel of Merit. It is said that during the cultivation process, one can also develop many wonderful supernatural abilities such as the Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, and the ability to read minds.

In short, at first glance, this practice method looks exactly like a cultivation method from Buddhist scriptures.

However, to truly embark on this path of cultivation, there is a crucial prerequisite—that is, to be in a world filled with spiritual energy.

Full of anticipation, Ji Lin followed the steps and key points described in the exercise manual, performing each action one by one.

Disappointingly, no matter how hard he tried to sense it, there was not even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy around him.

As a result, this attempt ended up being like entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed. Ji Lin was filled with regret, but there was nothing he could do.

He had no choice but to temporarily store the cultivation manual in the system space, while silently praying that he could travel to a spiritually vibrant world next time.

Just as Ji Lin finished putting away the cultivation manual, he originally planned to take a nice nap with Di Yun in his arms.

Just then, a rapid telephone ring suddenly sounded beside him.

Ji Lin casually picked up the phone, and the anxious voice coming from the other end was none other than Liang Xiaotang's.

"Hey! Brother Lin, your foreign superior at the police station is waiting for you in a real hurry!" Liang Xiaotang's words were slightly hurried.

Now that things have come to this, even though Ji Lin was extremely unwilling, he knew that there was no time to waste.

He reluctantly placed a light kiss on Di Yun's smooth forehead, then quickly rolled out of bed and hurriedly began to dress.

After everything was in order, he hurriedly went out and drove quickly towards the police station.

Before long, Ji Lin arrived at the police station.

As soon as he entered the door, before he could even catch his breath, his foreign boss, who had been waiting for a long time, pulled him into the car without saying a word and ordered him to drive immediately to an extremely large estate.

In the car, his foreign superior, speaking broken Chinese, said to Ji Lin, "Hey, Detective Ji, we have a big mission for you this time!"

"In our country of England, there is a count of great status. This count's daughter, for some reason, insisted on going out to explore."

"That's why they need to find a reliable bodyguard to protect them."

"And let me tell you, this count is no ordinary man. He's actually related to the British royal family in a way..."

As Ji Lin drove, listening to the foreigner's explanation, he cursed inwardly: "To get closer to that count, he sold me out. He's inhuman."

"To think that I, one of the four great detectives of Hong Kong Island, would be reduced to being a bodyguard for a foreign woman? That's just too degrading!"

But what could they do? After all, Hong Kong was still ruled by those damned British people, and no matter how capable Ji Lin was, he couldn't disobey the orders from above.

Helpless, Ji Lin had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and frustration, and obediently drove the car, following his foreign boss all the way to a luxurious manor in the suburbs.

After Ji Lin brought the car to a steady stop, he walked with his foreign boss to the gate of the manor.

He raised his hand and gently knocked a few times on the heavy, carved wooden door, but after waiting for a while, no one came to answer the door.

Just as Ji Lin was about to knock on the door again, his foreign boss reached out and tried the doorknob, only to be surprised to find that the door was not locked.

The two exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to push the door open and enter.

Just a few steps into the manor, a sudden, loud, piercing barking of dogs erupted without warning.

Immediately afterward, Ji Lin saw several servants in uniform struggling to pull a dozen or so huge, ferocious-looking hunting dogs toward them not far ahead.

Just then, the foreigner standing to the side turned pale with fright when he saw what was happening.

She frantically ran behind Ji Lin to hide, repeatedly muttering, "Help me! Protect me!"

Ji Lin turned his head and glanced at the cowardly foreigner, shaking his head helplessly.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin turned his sharp, sword-like gaze to the pack of ferocious dogs in front of him, instantly radiating an incomparably powerful aura.

This momentum, like a surging ocean wave, swept outwards in all directions, overwhelming everything.

In an instant, the once arrogant and barking dogs seemed to sense a great threat, and they all lowered their proud heads in fear.

His body trembled, and he kept making low, whimpering sounds, as if he was expressing his submission to Ji Lin in this way.

Actually, none of this is surprising.

It should be noted that Ji Lin possesses unparalleled internal energy cultivation techniques, as well as mysterious and unpredictable ninja soldiers and the twelve incredibly powerful talismans, giving him a wealth of powerful abilities.

At this moment, Ji Lin's aura had already surpassed the level that ordinary people could reach.

Therefore, when these dogs saw Ji Lin, it was as if they had seen a demon from the depths of hell. Apart from deep fear, they could not muster any resistance.

Not long after, the manor's butler arrived in a car in front of Ji Lin and the foreigner.

The butler bowed slightly and then gestured with his eyes that the foreigner could leave first.

Then, he turned around, smiled, and gestured to Ji Lin, saying, "Sir, please get in the car with me, and we will go to the manor together."

Ji Lin nodded and followed the butler towards the car parked not far away without hesitation, while the foreigner could only stare blankly at the departing figure.

After Ji Lin left, the dog next to him started barking loudly at the foreigner again. Seeing this, the foreigner quickly left the manor and ran faster than a rabbit.

Along the way, Ji Lin curiously looked around at his surroundings.

Suddenly, a huge leopard leaped out from the fence beside him, opened its blood-red maw, and let out a deafening roar at Ji Lin.

However, Ji Lin remained calm and composed in the face of this sudden provocation, merely glancing indifferently at the leopard.

With just that casual glance, Ji Lin's unparalleled aura was once again revealed.

As expected, the once majestic leopard was now wilted like a frostbitten eggplant. It tucked its tail between its legs and slunk back to the corner of the enclosure, not daring to make any further misbehavior.

Ji Lin was led to a reception room in the manor. In the center of the spacious and bright room was a set of luxurious leather sofas, and the Earl was sitting on one of them, smiling as he waited for his arrival.

When Ji Lin stepped into the room, the Earl gently clapped his hands to welcome him.

"Haha, Detective Ji is indeed worthy of his reputation. The dogs and leopards I keep on this estate are all extremely fierce, but without my daughter's or my orders, no one can command them."

"But today, I never expected that just one look from you would frighten them so much that they lowered their heads obediently and dared not cause any trouble!"

"It seems that choosing you to be my daughter's bodyguard was indeed a wise move!" the count said, nodding in satisfaction.

From the moment Ji Lin stepped into the manor, countless cameras were pointed at him.

Faced with the Earl's lavish praise, Ji Lin remained neither humble nor arrogant. He bowed slightly and politely replied, "Thank you for your praise, Earl. Let's get down to business."

Just then, the count waved towards the door, signaling his daughter, who was waiting outside, to come in.

As the door slowly opened, a beautiful figure appeared in the doorway. Ji Lin looked up and was instantly stunned by the woman's beauty.

Her skin was as white as snow, her features as beautiful as a painting, and her long hair, which cascaded down like a waterfall, swayed gently, radiating a captivating glow.

However, just as Ji Lin was captivated by the count's daughter's beauty, a crisp system notification suddenly rang in his mind...
