Chapter 44: Qing Yanzis Golden Core Formation

Chapter 44: Qing Yanzi's Golden Core FormationWang Sheng did not remain unconscious for long. He was merely exhausted. Hence, after lying down for an hour or two, he recovered some of his spiritual consciousness and true essence.

He slowly opened his eyes.

"How are you feeling? Does it hurt anywhere?" Zhou Yinglong asked anxiously.

His concern was not just due to their sect brotherhood. Having just fought side by side against a fierce spirit, they had developed a sense of camaraderie beyond mere cooperation.

Wang Sheng breathed lightly and waved off Zhou Yinglong's attempt to help him up. He sat up slowly on his own, then crossed his legs on the bed and began examining his condition.

A few minutes later, Wang Sheng asked, "How's the culprit?"

"Alive," Zhou Yinglong replied, "but barely hanging on. He's in an ambulance right now getting his wounds treated, but several guns are aimed at his head. Don't worry, he won't be able to escape."

"He's still alive... I should have stabbed deeper," Wang Sheng murmured. Zhou Yinglong couldn't even tell which stab he was referring to.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. A corrupt cultivator like him can't be allowed to live," Zhou Yinglong assured him. "Right now, we just need to interrogate him to see if he has any accomplices. Since the police are involved, they'll probably follow legal procedures."

Wang Sheng shook his head slightly. "I'm just worried about unforeseen complications."

Zhou Yinglong pondered for a moment. Seeing Wang Sheng deep in thought, he decided to step outside. After a few minutes, he returned.

"I asked Officer Fu about it," Zhou Yinglong said. "The security guard definitely attempted murder. Right now, they're waiting for the proper authorities to take him."

Wang Sheng opened his eyes and frowned slightly. "Have they figured out his reason?"

"The security guard hasn't regained consciousness yet. The doctors wanted to take him for treatment, but the cops stopped them. Unfortunately, no one seems to know why he had a grudge against the Li family. Even the Li family can't put a finger on it."

Zhou Yinglong stretched out his arms. "We only know that he was hired last month. His name is Jiang Zhongyi, he's twenty-six years old, and his background doesn't seem suspicious."

Wang Sheng exhaled slowly. In a measured tone, he said, "That small cauldron wasn't just some random artifact; it didn't seem like something a mere early-stage Spirit Convergence Realm cultivator could easily obtain. Other corrupt cultivators could be involved in this."

Zhou Yinglong nodded. "I'll go gather more information. For now, you should just rest. Martial Uncle is already on his way back. He'll be here soon."

"Alright," Wang Sheng replied. He then took another shallow breath.

By now, his true essence had recovered by about a quarter, and his spiritual consciousness was beginning to flow again like a spring after the rain. His complexion was also returning to normal.

Through the window, he could see people moving about in the courtyard. It was hard to tell how many cops had arrived, but they were actively

Though clearly nervous, the young woman replied, "Daoist Master Wang Sheng! We are members of the Paranormal Incident Investigation Unit, here to handle the case of the malevolent spirit attack! Let me show you my ID. Bulldozer, show yours too!"

"Oh, oh."

The two swiftly took out what looked like driver's licenses and held them out to Wang Sheng. Just as he was about to take them, the IDs suddenly lit up, and a holographic projection a dozen or so centimeters tall appeared above each one.

IDs already utilize such advanced technology in this era?

As far as he remembered, holographic projections wouldn't become widely used for another two years. The two were likely from the so-called Special Authority Department, which he had only heard about in his past life but never seen firsthand.
