Chapter 13: I Died Again! Investigator Archives
Without the slightest delay, after finishing his ablutions, he immediately began the tasks: squats, push-ups, and sit-ups.
As the push-ups began, they were unexpectedly easy, as if his body contained boundless strength.
“On the first day, I could only do 20 at a time, but now…”
After adapting, yesterday he was still struggling to do 30 at a time. Today, he could easily complete fifty consecutively, and only felt slightly fatigued!
“Is this the power of the Ancient Gods?” An irrepressible excitement surged within Bai Yu; he wanted to test his limits.
After eighty or ninety, fatigue washed over him like a tide, but he gritted his teeth and persisted until one hundred.
“Hoo~”
“The power of the Ancient Gods, is it really this potent?”
Bai Yu was incredibly excited.
He could feel that this was not just a physical improvement, but a leap in his spirit.
Without resting for too long, he quickly completed the sit-ups and squats, finishing all three tasks within an hour.
His clothes were soaked with sweat, yet his body felt no soreness at all; instead, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort!
After taking a shower, Bai Yu stood before the mirror, his eyes lighting up.
He leaned closer to the mirror, carefully examining his face. As a guy, he didn’t use much in the way of cosmetics, and coupled with his oily skin, he would occasionally get pimples, so his skin didn’t look great.
Now, it had become fair and smooth!
“This is merely the tip of the iceberg of the Ancient God’s power.”
“Just this effect alone, I imagine many people would desperately want to cultivate for it?”
After cleaning up, Bai Yu also composed himself and looked at the intelligence.

“Hmm?”
“Another Ancient Martial Arts Family!”
“Judging by the profile, the leader of the Seventh Group is quite capable.”
However,
Bai Yu felt that this information had little practical use for him.
Regardless, Bai Yu memorized it word for word, just in case it might be useful someday.
Then he looked at the second piece of intelligence.
Keyword – Archives, he wasn’t sure what kind of archives.
【Archive Name: Golden Page
Archive Number: SIB-X-098
Entry Date: 2037.08.11
Item Category: Sequence Advancement Item

Handling Recommendation: Strengthen the search for the remaining pages. Strictly store and research the recovered pages. Enhance monitoring and protection efforts for similar Ancient God items. 】
“???”
“This is clearly my stuff. No honor!”
After reading the intelligence, Bai Yu resigned himself: “Alright, I’ve ‘died’ again!”
“The last death premonition was for the blood pool case in December. This time, it’s earlier.”
The reason was obvious: possession of treasure invites trouble.
He glanced at the entry date; it was only a month later.
He didn’t even know the exact time he was killed by these so-called followers.
Headache!
He looked back at the previous intelligence; Li Yunbin’s resume was interesting enough.
The Lei family behind Lei Tao from before was a den of iniquity! They were reported by the Golden Finger.
“From the previous intelligence, I joined the Seventh Group a year later.”
“With my mindset and judgment of people, choosing to join the Seventh Group must be due to the Group Leader’s good character.”
Of course, it was also possible that on that Fate Line, he was just a nobody with no choice but to join the Seventh Group.
But now, he needed to make a choice.
If he wanted to contact the Investigation Bureau, Li Yunbin was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!
After careful consideration, Bai Yu opened the group chat, found an investigator in the group, and initiated a private message: “Hello, I have something important that requires a face-to-face meeting with Investigator Li Yunbin. Is that possible?”
The other party replied quickly: “Group Leader Li is currently on a mission.”
“It’s very important, could you please relay the message?” Bai Yu insisted.
“Yes, but could you tell me what the intelligence is first? That way I can relay it more accurately.”
Bai Yu thought for a moment and replied: “I have intelligence regarding Fishman Followers.”
The investigator’s reply became more cautious: “Followers? Are you sure? This is no small matter.”
“Absolutely sure. I am only willing to meet with Investigator Li Yunbin.”
“I understand, I will relay it immediately. However, Group Leader Li is on an important mission and may not see the message for several hours. Furthermore, Followers are not simple characters, and you are very likely to encounter danger during this process. If you wish, we can send other senior investigators to meet with you now.”
Bai Yu firmly replied: “I am aware of the risks, I only wish to meet with Group Leader Li.”
On the other side, inside the Investigation Bureau.
The auxiliary member of the Seventh Group frowned after the conversation. He knew that the possibility of an ordinary person discovering a Follower’s weakness was extremely low, but ‘the power of the masses is great,’ and he couldn’t easily dismiss it.
He decided to forward the message to the Captain and, at the same time, considered whether it was necessary to discuss the matter with other team members. He worried it might be a prank, but he was more concerned about missing crucial intelligence.
Ultimately, he chose to remain silent, awaiting the Group Leader’s judgment.
Inside the apartment.
After communicating with the investigator, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Can’t stay hidden anymore.”
“For the sake of my life, I must connect with the authorities now.”
He then looked at the remaining two pieces of intelligence.
With 20 Intelligence Value, buying one would leave him short for the other.
After some thought, he prioritized redeeming the fourth piece of intelligence.
“The Great Heavenly Cycle in Mission Five should be related to cultivation techniques.”
【Thesis 《 Myriad Laws Origin: The Origin and Evolution of Cultivation Systems 》
Abstract: Whether it be Eastern Martial Arts, Immortal Cultivation, Western Mages, Medieval Knights, Wizards, or the Ancient God System, although the cultivation methods vary, they all ultimately stem from the understanding and application of the fundamental principle of “absorbing Qi into the body.”
Now, after carefully studying various methods, the following basic cultivation techniques are derived:
Begin with raising the spirit, return the mind to the Dantian, and let Qi follow the mind.
Qi rises from the Yongquan acupoint, ascends, passes through Taixi, and over Sanyinjiao.
It circulates to Quchuan, turns to Neiguan, reaches Zhongchong, and converges at Tanzhong.
From Tanzhong, it divides into two paths, rotating left to Jianjing and right to Jianliao.
It flows down the arm to Hegu, then turns to Houxi, returning to Shaohai.
It circles back to the Dantian, completing the Minor Heavenly Cycle, with Lightning Technique hidden, awaiting its time.
Mind and spirit unite, Qi surges like a rainbow, and the Heavenly Cycle reaches Perfection.
Starting from Yongquan, Qi rushes to Yangling, passes through Xuanzhong, and ascends to Baihui.
From Baihui, it descends, passes through Dazhui, follows the Du Meridian, and goes down to Mingmen.
Mingmen opens, Qi divides into Yin and Yang, flowing left to Ganshu and right to Pishu.
It passes through Shenque, circles Qihai, goes through Guanyuan, and reaches Zhongji.
Zhongji rotates, Qi returns to the Dantian, completing the Great Heavenly Cycle, and Lightning Technique is naturally generated.

“Let’s try circulating the Qi!”
“Let’s play for real!”
