Chapter 247: Chapter 179: Forming a Team

The next morning, Li Yi slowly opened his eyes, ending his night of cultivation.

His cultivation throughout the night had borne fruit, and he could feel that his body had evolved somewhat. Moreover, with the substantial supplementation of the Golden Nutrient Liquid and the continuous release of the essence of several big medicines inside his body, his Martial Arts cultivation also made progress, as did his Marrow Training. However, to complete the Marrow Training thoroughly would still take some time and couldn’t be rushed.

What puzzled him, however, was that the inherently evil resentment within the Sword Coin had still not awakened. He didn’t know if it was affected by the sparse cosmic energy after his trip to the Four Seas and Eight Continents, or if the remnant’s time had come and it had simply dissipated. Having not emerged to trouble him for such a long period of cultivation, Li Yi found it somewhat difficult to adapt to the quiet.

Looking out the window at the early sun blanketing the city, Li Yi was in a good mood. He took a bath, quickly got ready, and, carrying his sniper rifle, left the house.

Today he needed to talk to Zheng Gong about the team-building matter and also inform the family clan group about moving to a new place, lest his relatives couldn’t find him later. With this thought, he immediately took out his phone and sent a message in the group chat, telling everyone that he had moved out of the old district and was now living in the Peace Finance Building. He invited them to visit if they had the time.

He descended the stairs.

To his surprise, Li Yi saw Zheng Lan sitting in the lobby of the first floor, sipping coffee while working on her laptop.

"Zheng Lan, good morning," Li Yi greeted her.

"Good morning."

Putting down her coffee, Zheng Lan revealed a sweet smile, "I suddenly thought of some designs for the building that weren’t perfect, so I got up early to make amendments. Li Yi, do you want to come and take a look?"

"No need, I don’t understand design. Just finish it well, I need to stop by the Investigation Bureau. Are those cars at the door mine? Where are the keys?" Li Yi asked.

Zheng Lan closed her laptop, then came over and said, "I bought those for you yesterday, they’re all yours. There are three pickup trucks, one off-road vehicle, and one armored car, five in total. The car keys are hanging on the wall at the entrance; they’re labeled with each car’s license plate number, so just choose whichever one you want to drive by looking at the plates."

"Alright, thank you." With that, Li Yi took the keys for an off-road vehicle and prepared to leave.

"Be careful on the road. Oh, and I’ve already received the news about the replacement of the medical pods this morning. If we make the payment today, two medical pods can be delivered this afternoon," said Zheng Lan.

"Then make the payment. Buying them sooner means my parents can enjoy them sooner rather than always using the old medical pods," Li Yi said.

"I’ll transfer the deposit later. I’ve also taken care of the nutrient liquid; it’ll be delivered this morning, a total of a hundred vials. I’ll put them in your room when they arrive," said Zheng Lan.

"Okay." Li Yi said, stepping out the door.

Zheng Lan suddenly thought of something and chased after him, saying, "Li Yi, you were right about the old district being dangerous. Could I stay at your place for a while? I designed a guest room, and I’ll sleep there so as not to disturb your cultivation."

Li Yi opened the car door, thought for a moment, and then said, "Sure, no problem. There’s plenty of space here; stay as long as you like."

After speaking, the vehicle started, and he drove off in the off-road car, quickly disappearing down the road.

Relieved by Li Yi’s agreement to let her stay, Zheng Lan felt a sudden burst of happiness and then redoubled her efforts at work. She wanted to continue designing the building, turning it into a perfect living space.

Before long.

Li Yi drove up to the Investigation Bureau once again.

Different from before, there were many cars parked at the entrance of the Investigation Bureau that morning, with numerous investigators and external combat personnel moving in and out. They were all fully armed, ready for combat at a moment’s notice. Among these people, Li Yi also spotted a few familiar faces.

Lu Yue, Zhang Zhixiong, Fu Bing, Liu Yue... Besides them, there were also some very powerful external combat personnel, like Master Pete who had become a Spiritual Perception Master, and another Spiritual Perception Master named Gu Mengping. Of course, there were many more unfamiliar faces, with some even being cultivators transferred from other regions.

Such a gathering of cultivators at the Investigation Bureau was clearly out of the ordinary.

"Li Yi!"

At that moment, Zheng Gong saw Li Yi and called out to him hurriedly, then rushed over.

At the mention of Li Yi’s name, many people turned to look in his direction.

After all, Li Yi was something of a celebrity in the Investigation Bureau, having personally helped recover a Mysterious Object for the bureau. It would be hard not to be well-known.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Zheng Gong, I asked Lin Yue about it yesterday, and she’s willing to join the Investigation Bureau and our team. However, for now, this small team only has the three of us. We’ll have to find the rest of the teammates slowly. After all, team-building is a serious matter; we can’t just bring in cultivators with unclear backgrounds, otherwise, any ensuing problems could be bad for everyone."

"Lin Yue agreed to join? That’s great," Zheng Gong was excited. "I was just about to ask about this. I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise first thing in the morning. With Lin Yue, a Spiritual Perception Master, joining in, our power at the Investigation Bureau just got stronger."

Li Yi asked, "Why did so many investigators and cultivators arrive early this morning? Did something happen in the Investigation Bureau?"
