19: Chapter 19 The Northern Darkness Divine Art

"So it was Comrade Xiao Lu. Thank you for eliminating another evil Ghost for Tianhai City again!"

Officer Zheng Hai reacted quickly. He hurriedly took off his gloves and saluted Lu Siye.

He admired practitioners like Lu Siye, who stood watch and eliminated evil for the living, from the bottom of his heart.

Facing the salute of an old criminal Public Security Officer, Lu Siye felt somewhat at a loss.

He hurriedly inserted his blazing blood saber into the floor and imitated the salute.

"Not at all, not at all! It's all part of my duty. Officer Zheng, have you joined the Evil Suppression Bureau?"

Lu Siye looked at the attire on Officer Zheng Hai; it was exactly the same as the Evil Suppression Bureau member who had delivered things to him before.

Moreover, faint fluctuations of Qi and blood could be sensed from Officer Zheng, suggesting he had just stepped into the world of cultivation.

"Yes, I am now an external member of the Evil Suppression Bureau, responsible for clearing the primary scene and verifying the situation."

Officer Zheng Hai nodded. He pulled Lu Siye aside to make way for his colleagues behind him, then briefly explained.

"Then I won't disturb your work!"

Lu Siye looked at the other external Evil Suppression Bureau members who had already reached the bathroom door and were turning their heads to look at Officer Zheng Hai, and said apologetically.

"It's fine! It's fine!" Officer Zheng Hai hurriedly waved his hand and walked toward his colleagues.

Not long after, the four of them verified the existence and strength of the Mirror Ghost, immediately adding 56 points to Lu Siye's account and issuing a bonus of several thousand yuan.

When Officer Zheng Hai came out of the bathroom, he was holding a mirror with a slash mark on it.

"Officer Zheng, what is this?" Lu Siye asked, pointing at the mirror.

"Oh! Items possessed by a Ghost usually have a higher probability of attracting another Ghost, so we have to..."

Officer Zheng Hai explained, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Lu Siye.

"There's such a good thing!" Lu Siye couldn't help but exclaim.

When Lu Siye heard that there was a probability of attracting another Ghost, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Huh?" The four of them looked confused. Was this considered a good thing?

"Ahem, that, could you give this evil spirit mirror to me?" Lu Siye coughed twice to cover up his awkwardness, then asked.

"What do you want to do with it?" Officer Zheng Hai looked at Lu Siye vigilantly; years of case-handling experience told him that this action was extremely abnormal.

"Cough! Isn't it because this mirror might attract a Ghost? I was thinking, if I hang it in my room, the next time a Ghost appears in Tongjiang Residential Area, it will sense the evil spirit mirror and come to find me first. This way, I can better ensure the safety of other ordinary people."

In this instant, Lu Siye's IQ soared to the peak of his life, and he immediately made up a set of reasons.

"So that's how it is. I misunderstood you!" The four of them realized suddenly and couldn't help but salute him.

They had actually suspected a comrade who cared so much for the lives of the common people; damn it, they were truly terrible!

"Well, you know, with great power comes great responsibility!" Lu Siye scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.

"It is precisely because of people with high ideological awareness like you, Comrade Xiao Lu, that the Evil Suppression Bureau and the Nine Provinces can have the stability they have now. Please allow me to say thank you on behalf of the common people!"

Officer Zheng Hai grabbed Lu Siye's hand and said excitedly.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

...

Before leaving, the four of them shook hands with Lu Siye one by one to express their gratitude, which made him feel quite embarrassed.

Furthermore, before leaving, they also took away Shi Yimin, who had his Yang Qi drained by the Ghost.

Lu Siye stood upstairs, watching them leave.

After they left, Lu Siye brought the mirror to his door and subconsciously felt his pockets.

Suddenly, he froze in place. When he went over to save someone last night, he had climbed directly over from the balcony and forgotten to take his keys.

With no other choice, Lu Siye had to climb back into his own room from Shi Yimin's balcony, open the door from the inside, and then move the mirror into the living room.

Not long after he put the mirror down, Lu Siye's phone rang.

Picking up the phone, he heard that his package had arrived; it should be the two martial arts Secret Manuals he had bought online earlier.

Lu Siye ran downstairs quickly, greeted the security guard at the security office, and then ran back upstairs carrying his express package.

Unable to wait, he tore open the package, took out the two Secret Manuals, and spread them out on the table.

The two martial arts Secret Manuals—one was from Master Jin's "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," the highest martial art of a sect called the Xiaoyao Sect, named "Bei Ming Divine Art."

It is said that after mastering the Bei Ming Divine Art, every acupoint on the body can absorb others' Internal Energy and convert it into Bei Ming True Qi.

Bei Ming True Qi possesses both Yin and Yang; the Yang-rigid Bei Ming True Qi is as scorching as molten lava, while the Yin-soft Bei Ming True Qi is several times colder than ice.

And because Bei Ming True Qi is based on Yin and Yang, it can be compatible with all martial arts in the world.

The other one was also a top-tier movement Cultivation Technique from the Xiaoyao Sect, named "Lingbo Microsteps."

Lu Siye learned this based on the information he found online.

The name Lingbo Microsteps is taken from the I Ching, based on the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, where the user steps according to the specific order of the hexagram positions.

From the first step taken to the end of the last step, it forms exactly a large circle.

It is the best movement martial art for leaping in narrow spaces.

Opening the two martial arts Secret Manuals, they were filled with detailed Cultivation methods of unknown utility.

The Cultivation Technique even contained one or two illustrations and diagrams of human Meridians, looking just like the real thing.

No wonder they dared to sell him two books for over a hundred yuan; at first glance, it was indeed quite intimidating.

It could be said to be a Sharp Weapon for showing off.

However, these two martial arts Cultivation Techniques were currently still fake Secret Manuals and could not be used for Cultivation; they needed to be strengthened first.

Lu Siye picked up the "Bei Ming Divine Art" first and silently recited "Strengthen" in his heart.

"Does the host wish to consume 1200 Fear Points to strengthen 'Bei Ming Divine Art'?"

Hiss~

One thousand two hundred Fear Points!!!

Lu Siye gasped; this consumption was even more terrifying than his "Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art."

However, the more Fear Points consumed, the higher the value of the Cultivation Technique, and the greater its power.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Siye chose to strengthen it.

After deducting 1200 Fear Points, the fake Secret Manual "Bei Ming Divine Art" produced an even greater phenomenon than the two previously strengthened Cultivation Techniques.

The pages began to turn automatically, and the visible Yin and Yang Qi rose, intertwining like a Taiji symbol.

A distant, ethereal cry of a Kun came from within the Yin and Yang Qi. A giant fish, extremely similar to the legendary Kun, leaped from the Yin Qi, plunged headfirst into the Yang Qi, and transformed into a Yang Qi Roc, circling upwards.

A crisp, long cry pierced the sky; the Roc rode the wind and rose, then plummeted downwards at high speed.

It instantly passed through the Yin and Yang Qi, directly merged into the pages, and transformed into graceful characters that leaped onto the paper out of thin air.

The pages closed automatically, and the four characters "Bei Ming Divine Art" on the original cover had now evolved into "Bei Ming Divine Art: Volume One."
