Chapter 56 Su Tie's Promotion, Half a Cart of Horses
This time, entering the realm of the supernatural is different from before.
Within Huangjing Tongzi's embrace, the "Brahma Lotus Seed" emitted golden light, freezing the surrounding void.
A realization dawned on Jiang Jun: this time, on his journey to the Ghost Realm, he could use the lotus seed to appear in any place he had ever been before.
This includes Cemetery No. 3, Changning Street, Qixia Lake, and Qingzhu Temple, among other places.
This is a common effect of supernatural objects.
After a moment's thought, he decided to take a risk, though not insignificant.
The next instant, his figure appeared on Changning Street, still dressed in black robes and a crown.
From a distance, the building of the Qingjiang City Bureau of Supernatural Affairs was brightly lit.
Police officers were on guard outside the door, and people were constantly going in and out, making it seem busier than the real world.
"Ouch..." Cai Liang fell from mid-air, looking up in a daze, "Ah, teacher!"
Jiang Jun frowned slightly, subconsciously feeling that this passively bound connection was somewhat inconvenient.
He flicked his finger, and a rune shot out from the "Lotus Seed of Brahma's Sound," landing between Cai Liang's eyebrows before disappearing.
This is the trace left by a divine object.
Once activated by Yin energy, the Ghost Master can freely return to the real world while out of combat, or activate runes upon entering the Ghost Realm to travel to any location they have been.
Jiang Jun tested it with his true qi and found that it worked the same way, which is why he left a mark on him.
"Do you have anything important to do in real life right now?" Jiang Jun gently flicked his sleeve and lifted him up from the ground.
Cai Liang rubbed his twisted waist: "I just finished dealing with a strange incident with Zhao Chen and the others, and everything's fine now."
He stared in shock at the little creature in Jiang Jun's arms: "This is... the Yellow Essence Ghost Child?"
Jiang Jun nodded slightly: "Yes, the elite-level monster has been purified by me using the Five-Colored Stone. You can call it the Yellow Essence Child."
"Wow! This is truly a divine combination!" Cai Liang exclaimed in amazement. "Teacher, you've even taken in a virgin!"
Jiang Jun ignored him, told him about the traces left by the supernatural object, and then pointed to the building of the Department of Supernatural Phenomena: "Go and inform them that I am waiting here, and ask them to send someone over to discuss the matter of the spiritual plants."
Cai Liang accepted the order and left.
Jiang Jun then found a cat cafe nearby, took out a tea set from his sleeve, and slowly brewed and enjoyed the tea.
Huangjing Tongzi felt bored and didn't sit with him. Instead, he hugged the lotus seed and looked around the cat cafe, exploring everywhere.
Jiang Jun scanned the room with his divine sense and found no strange creatures lurking there, so he let it go.
However, this little guy is, after all, an elite-level monster who has "reformed" and has divine artifacts in his possession. So, if he really encounters a monster, he's not afraid at all.
Before long, Cai Liang led two people over; they were Su Tie and Liu Yan.
"Greetings, senior!" the two said in unison.
Jiang Jun returned the greeting and looked at Su Tie: "Captain Su, your advancement to the extraordinary realm is truly commendable."
A smile appeared on Su Tie's face, no longer the aloofness he had shown at Cemetery No. 7: "It's all thanks to the senior's blessing."
"It was thanks to the spiritual plants that I was able to harmonize the yin energy and suppress the strange transformations that I was able to cross this threshold more than half a year ahead of schedule."
Jiang Jun chuckled and said, "That's because Captain Su has accumulated experience and has a deep foundation; otherwise, these few spiritual plants wouldn't be of much help."
As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen potted plants from his sleeve and placed them one by one on the bar counter. A faint spiritual aura immediately filled the cat café.
Liu Yan's pupils contracted slightly: "Senior, this storage treasure is truly amazing. It can store and transport living things without needing to be isolated?"
When transporting the mutated plants, she always uses wooden boxes and talismans to isolate the storage bags from her senses; otherwise, the contents would most likely be "stolen" by the storage bags.
Jiang Jun smiled and said, "It's just a little trick to suppress things."
He pointed to the spiritual plants and said in a flat tone, "The ones you gave me last time are all here. It's a pity there's nothing amazing about them."
Just then, Huangjing Tongzi, carrying lotus seeds, ran up to Jiang Jun with a "da da da" sound, holding a black cat doll and happily chirping "Ah bei ah bei".
Su and Liu's pupils dilated in shock: "This...this is?"
"Go play, sweetie." Jiang Jun rubbed the little guy's head. "This is a spirit creature transformed from an elite-level Huangjing Ghost Child after purification. I call it Huangjing Boy."
Cai Liang, sensing the situation, gently took Huang Jing Tongzi aside and soothed him softly. The little fellow sensed the power of the protective aura within him and felt quite close to him.
Liu Yan's breathing quickened slightly: "May I ask, senior, how spiritual is this child? Is there still any lingering malevolence?"
"As for spirituality, it's a little less intelligent than that of ordinary children..." Jiang Jun looked at the little guy's accusing gaze and subtly changed his words, "Ah no, it should be said that it's the heart of a child."
"It truly harbors no sinister intentions and harbors no malice towards humans. Moreover, it has an excellent compatibility with the lotus seed you gave me, and now they are inseparable."
Su Tie admired Huang Jing Tong Zi's magnanimity when he casually handed over the precious magical object to Huang Jing Tong Zi to play with.
After all, divine artifacts are precious; even those at the luminous level are priceless treasures, highly valued by all major powers, who are reluctant to show them to others.
Liu Yan frowned slightly and looked hesitantly at Jiang Jun: "Senior, do those transformed, bizarre plants have greater potential?"
"I don't know either." Jiang Jun shook his head. "After all, it's the only isolated case so far. I'm quite busy and don't have time to collect elite-level mutated plants."
"It is unknown whether other elite-level strange plants can be transformed into children, and it is also uncertain whether elite-level Huangjing strange children can be successfully transformed."
He paused, then revealed several of Huangjing Tongzi's abilities.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan perked up and looked at Su Tie: "Director Su, this requires your authorization to capture a batch of elite-level Huangjing Ghost Babies, and at the same time apply to transfer a batch of elite-level Ghost Plants from various places."
Su Tie nodded: "Go back and give me the report, and I will approve it immediately."
Jiang Jun raised an eyebrow: "Director Su? So Captain Su not only improved his skills, but also got a promotion?"
Su Tie blushed slightly: "Well, Director Li has advanced to the second level of the Transcendent Realm and is going to the General Headquarters for further studies. Coincidentally, I broke through to the Transcendent Realm, so the Provincial Headquarters appointed me to take over."
Jiang Jun had a feeling that things weren't that simple, but he didn't delve into it. After offering his congratulations, he returned to the main topic: "We can get a few more elite-level Huangjing Ghost Babies. As for the other transforming ghost plants, we can store them in the Department of Mysticism for now, and I'll test them one by one when I have time."
Having finalized the follow-up cooperation, Liu Yan sent someone to bring the newly purified spiritual plants back to the Department of Mysteries, and entrusted the strange plants she had collected during this period to Jiang Jun.
Jiang Jun's gaze swept across the dozen or so wooden boxes, when suddenly he was drawn to a strange and eerie object.
It was a reclining pony, about the size of a palm. Its grayish-brown body was covered with fine rings, and its limbs were as thin as withered branches.
Beneath the ring pattern, a lacquer-like sheen faintly peeks out, carrying a strange, musty aroma, suppressed by the earthy, musty smell, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
This is also the only elite-level monster present.
"This is... a pony? No, it doesn't seem like a mutated animal." Jiang Jun examined it carefully for a moment, then was surprised to discover, "This is a Ganoderma lucidum?"
Seeing that he recognized it immediately, Liu Yan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Senior, your eyes are truly discerning. This is actually a *Cereus undatus* plant... to be precise, it's the 'Cereus undatus' within it."
"It appeared in the Northeast and was captured by the Blood Demon Organization. There was also a carriage with it, which was used to brew a secret medicine. If our Department of Mystic Arts hadn't wiped out the Northeast branch of the Blood Demon Organization, it would probably be in the medicine pot too."
