Chapter 21: Object of the Evil God, Kidnapping and Disposing of the Body
The arranged accommodation was within the Investigation Bureau.
To be precise, it was within the Market Supervision Administration.
A shell company, indeed! Seize it!
The room’s furnishings were comparable to a star-rated hotel, spanning eighty square meters with one bedroom, one living room, and a large balcony.
“My living standard has suddenly improved.”
As he muttered to himself, Bai Yu glanced around the room, looking for any hidden cameras.
‘Li Yunbin and others, as well as some big figures in Jiangnan District, also live here. There shouldn’t be any cameras in the rooms.’
However, just to be safe, he went into the bathroom. If there were surveillance here, that would be truly perverse.
He activated his Golden Finger and looked at the last piece of intelligence, with the keyword ‘Body Refining’.
Purchase and view!
【Title: Research on the Nutritional Value and Body Refining Effects of the Ten Spirit Nourishing Soup
Publication Date: March 12, 2041
Abstract: The Ten Spirit Nourishing Soup is a nourishing soup primarily made from ten common meats such as chicken, duck, lamb, and beef, with a small amount of spiritual materials.
Recent research indicates that this soup can be consumed by the vast majority of ordinary people and has significant effects in strengthening physique, making it suitable for the All People Martial Arts Plan.
It also has strong body refining effects for cultivators. The cost of this soup is extremely low, yet its nourishing effects surpass most body refining spiritual soups.
Ingredients:
Fresh chicken, duck, fish, lamb, beef, pork, abalone, venison, and other ten types of meat, one jin each.
Appropriate amount of spiritual materials: Yang Spirit Jujube 1000g（Spiritual）, Red Meat Lingzhi 200g（Spiritual）, White Spirit Ginseng 50g（Spiritual）. Goji berries, astragalus, etc., can also be added to enhance nourishing effects.
Preparation Method: First, boil the.】
Seeing this information, Bai Yu’s eyes lit up.
He had initially thought it was a body refining cultivation technique, but it turned out to be related to ingredients!
“Research results from four years later. Extremely low cost, and effects far exceeding most body refining spiritual soups!?”
“It specifically mentions that even the vast majority of ordinary people can consume it.”
He suddenly thought.
“If I open a restaurant using this method, wouldn’t I make a fortune?”
However, looking at the three required spiritual materials, he felt a bit troubled.
“At this point in time, these three spiritual materials should be available, right?”
“I’ll ask Sister Feifei about it later.”
Six o’clock in the morning.
Bai Yu woke up.
After becoming a Transcendent, his spirit was excellent.
As soon as he sat up, he eagerly looked at today’s intelligence.

He had five intelligence points left from yesterday, so he could buy them now.
“With my current stamina, I can quickly finish three indoor missions and enjoy looking at them all at once!”
Without any further ado, he got straight to work.
It took about forty minutes to complete the three missions.
After showering, he felt a bit hungry.
“I’ll check the intelligence first.”

Archive Type: Kidnapping and Murder Case
Involved Person: Zhang Youpeng
Kidnapping Time: July 15, 2037, 22:45
Case Location: Middle Section of Nanjiang Road, Jiangnan District
Archive Summary: Zhang Youpeng, a student at Tianhai City University, was tracked and kidnapped by an unidentified individual after leaving the gym on the evening of July 15, according to surveillance footage.
The kidnapper was suspected to be an Advanced Fishman.
For some time afterward, Zhang Youpeng’s relatives did not receive any ransom calls.
On the evening of August 7, a highly decomposed corpse was discovered in a sewer in Xilin District. Forensic analysis confirmed the deceased to be Zhang Youpeng.】
“Zhang Youpeng!”
Bai Yu was stunned when he saw the name.
Why was Zhang Youpeng targeted?
He carefully examined the case information.
“This was a kidnapping, not a murder on the spot!”
“Kidnapping is usually for subsequent ransom, threats, or, in this Extraordinary background, perhaps to transform Zhang Youpeng into a Transcendent Being.”
“But the subsequent information states that the body was dumped in a sewer.”
Bai Yu clenched his fists. He had a vague feeling that the other party was actually targeting him.
“The operation tonight at eleven o’clock.”
After careful consideration, Bai Yu recalled his intelligence from yesterday: 【Died at the hands of Fishman Followers, and the Golden Page was snatched.】
Upon receiving this news, he immediately altered his Fate Line, not going to the company but instead heading to the gym.
However, it seemed he hadn’t escaped being targeted.
“I’m being targeted, it must be because of the Golden Page.”
“Even though I changed my whereabouts, the other party is still watching me… they must have special means! Thinking about it this way, my decision to immediately contact the Investigation Bureau yesterday and stay at the Investigation Bureau was incredibly wise!”
After clarifying his thoughts, Bai Yu took a deep breath.
“My Fate Line today definitely has no intersection with Zhang Youpeng’s.”
“If I were to take a risk, I could contact him before he goes home, and perhaps set a trap to catch this Advanced Fishman.”
Doing so would clearly be risking Zhang Youpeng’s life.
But Bai Yu had already made up his mind.
It was fine for him to be good to his brothers, but he had never set up any persona for himself.
If this Fishman threatened him, it had to die! And the risk wasn’t that high.
Without hesitation, he looked at the second piece of intelligence.
【Archive – Black Blood Blade
Item Characteristics:
The “Black Blood Blade” appears as a black iron dagger with unknown runes carved on its blade.
It is one of the many contaminants scattered on Blue Star by an Evil God.
This item was obtained by a dropout youth working in an electronics factory in Tianhai City. Subsequently, the student’s evil thoughts were stirred by the Evil Energy within the dagger, leading to a serial murder case in Cloud Lake, Tianhai City.
Evil God: Appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms Era, one of the main instigators of the chaos during the Three Kingdoms period.
Registration Time: August 9, 2037
Registrant: Researcher Yan Yongxin of the Alien Gods Research Institute】
“???”
“They don’t even know who the murderer is, and the Evil God’s name is even censored!”
However, one piece of information caught Bai Yu’s eye.
“This Evil God appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms Era!?”
And the Alien Gods Research Institute, this was clearly an important organization.
Bai Yu thought carefully. His Golden Page was related to Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao was a historical figure from his previous life and this world, now confirmed to be an Ancient God!
“If I transform known history into a mythical version, it would all make sense!”
“It seems this world is not just about Spiritual Qi Awakening; there’s a deeper background. My Golden Finger might even have a causal connection.”
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the remaining two pieces of intelligence.
Special Big Boss should be a personal introduction.
Cultivation Experience, this must be bought!
Yesterday, he bought a cultivation technique, which greatly shocked Liu Feifei and the others.
Originally, Bai Yu wanted to save intelligence points and buy higher-value purple-grade and above intelligence later.
But after considering it, Bai Yu couldn’t resist and bought the information about the Special Big Boss as well.
【Zheng Guoyi
Current Position: Shopkeeper of Red Moon Antique Shop, Yunhu Antique Street
Introduction: Ten years ago, he served as the Bureau Chief of the Special Investigation Bureau in Jiangnan District. Later, during a fight with a Vampire Earl’s clone.】
Bai Yu read it carefully. The details of his experience ten years ago were very thorough, and his current status was also clearly stated.
“At that time, Group Leader Li seemed to have gone to this antique shop.”
“Ah, so they know each other. I wasted my intelligence points on this.”
“Before, I bought every piece of intelligence because I lacked understanding of the Extraordinary world and felt insecure.”
“But now, starting today, I must carefully consider whether to buy intelligence!”
He then acquired the fourth piece of intelligence.
【Diary
December 11, 2037
Title: Cultivation Experience of the Golden Page
I’m going to throw up! This Golden Page is too obscure and difficult to understand.
The first move, Palm Lightning, took over a month to barely reach the entry level.
The subsequent Heavenly Thunder Summon and Five Thunders Decree are even more outrageous. I’ve been learning them for almost half a year and have only just reached the entry level.
The most difficult to learn now is Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers, which requires activating 108 acupoints! I have exceptional talent, and my cultivation technique has cleansed all 361 main acupoints and 14 main meridians in my body.
Yet, I can’t learn the divine art. If this continues, when will I be able to use the subsequent Golden Pages!
Angry and cold!
（A round of complaints）
Fortunately, I’ve gained some insights now.（Eight hundred words）
By the way, so far, I’ve only figured out the uses of two Golden Pages.
The second Golden Page’s use was discovered when I unintentionally channeled spiritual energy inward.
This Golden Page seems to contain many of Zhang Jiao’s special Techniques. The first is the Tracking Technique, which is extremely useful!
Secondly, this Golden Page seems to be able to absorb the power of certain Evil Gods to strengthen oneself, thereby unlocking more high-level Techniques.】
“Uh, did I write this???”
Judging by the grammar, it indeed matches his mental state when he’s alone.
These 20 intelligence points were not wasted. His cultivation experience in his diary was very detailed, outlining all the detours.
“So Palm Lightning is formed by the merging of four routes, not by directly forming a single route.”
“And the second Golden Page!”
After reading it, he felt a bit excited.
He immediately started practicing.
Practice is the only truth!
