Zhu Yunxiao: "..."

He gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

If a normal person heard that they were so famous, they would be happy, if not excited, right?

How can there be no reaction at all?

Zhu Yunxiao then led Lu Ning through the black market and into its depths.

There is now a small memorial tablet, and the photo on it is of Tyrone.

There were many fruits, flowers, and incense sticks placed in front of the memorial tablet.

Zhu Yunxiao smiled and said, "Many of the free awakeners in the Seventh District have been taken care of by Boss Tailong, so after they come here, they will spontaneously worship. In just the last two days, there have been many people offering incense, and these offerings are also placed by them. We still have to clean some up regularly."

Lu Ning nodded slightly, then paid his respects to Tailong.

Although Lu Ning and Tai Long haven't met many times, he has a good impression of Tai Long.

After paying respects, Lu Ning said to Zhu Yunxiao, "Now that you own a bar, can I ask you to send out a mission?"

Zhu Yunxiao smiled and said, "Of course, that's one of the reasons our bar exists. It's a good thing to be able to help the Mist Bureau."

Lu Ning nodded and said, "Two members of our action team were killed last time, and we need to replenish our personnel. Could you help me issue a mission to join the Seventh Division and become a member of the action team?"

Zhu Yunxiao was taken aback, then nodded slightly and said, "It is possible... but as you know, there are requirements for members of the Mist Bureau's action team. You don't want some abilities that are not very practical, and you have already invited all the awakened individuals with good abilities as long as they register. Since they have chosen to become free awakened individuals, the possibility of them joining now is not high."

“I know, you just need to issue the missions. The Mist Bureau is short-staffed right now, so it doesn’t matter if they are weak, as long as they are useful.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxiao laughed and said, "Then we can give it a try. Don't worry, I'll send it to you in a bit."

Okay, thank you.

"You're welcome. If it weren't for you, I would be dead long ago. This is nothing, just a small favor for me." Zhu Yunxiao waved his hand, then smiled and said, "Would you like to take a look around here?"

Lu Ning shook his head: "No, I'm going back."

"Oh well."

Lu Ning left the Tree Bar and returned to his residence—it wasn't his turn to work the night shift.

After returning to his residence, Lu Ning began to refine the white mist within his body.

Previously, it had absorbed the white mist containing the power of the fallen angel, but so far it has only absorbed a little bit.

It was indeed white mist containing the power of an evil god, far more powerful than the white mist absorbed from Li Mu before, and very difficult to erase.

Lu Ning didn't know how long it would take to completely absorb and digest the white mist.

The white mist had significant side effects, causing Lu Ning to unconsciously exude a unique charm that always drew attention when she walked down the street.

Moreover, Lu Ning didn't particularly like the way these people were looking at him.

In addition, during the process of refining the white mist, the white mist often emitted sharp screech, causing Lu Ning's internal organs to rupture, and he still needs to repair his internal organs.

However, there is one advantage for Lu Ning.

During this process, Lu Ning was also tempering his body and training his immortality.

When his mental energy was almost depleted, Lu Ning began to use Soul Crystals to restore it.

As for the mental pollution on the soul crystal, it was naturally negligible to Lu Ning.

Once his mental strength had recovered sufficiently, Lu Ning continued to refine the source of pollution.

The cycle repeats itself.

Lu Ning's cultivation process has been like this for the past few days.

…………

A few days later, thanks to Colin's efforts and the bar's commission, the branch finally recruited four new members.

A brown-haired young man named Dmitri was very strong and two meters tall.

This person's ability is an air cannon; his roar can unleash an air cannon with considerable power.

Originally, Dmitri was a Tier 3 Free Awakener. During the last great war, he went to support headquarters with Tyrone and survived the battle.

After seeing the commission at the Tree Bar, I immediately chose to join.

A slightly plump middle-aged woman named Shi Shan is a shapeshifter who can transform into a crow; her level is 2.

Shi Shan's husband died in the recent riots at Happy Paradise, and her daughter was eaten by a mutated creature, leaving her all alone in the family.

Originally, Shi Shan didn't think she could join the Fog Bureau, since she didn't have much combat ability.

However, she heard that the Bureau of the Mist had relaxed its recruitment requirements, so she decided to give it a try, and unexpectedly succeeded.

The remaining two are both newly awakened ability users.

One of them is a fourteen-year-old boy named Aihar. The boy is very lively and his ability is to manipulate metal.

As an elemental ability user, he has great potential.

Another is a beautiful young woman named Zhong Caixuan, whose awakened ability is bullet time, which can greatly enhance her dynamic vision and reaction ability for a short period of time.

This ability is also quite good.

The addition of four new members is a good thing for the action team.

Following the tradition left by Lin Xiao, Colin even treated the newcomers to a nice meal.

For the next period of time, the four new recruits were sent to Qin Feng for training, as always.

Fortunately, during this period, because the Sage Qinglan had just left, there were not many cases of illness.

Overall, I have some free time.

Whether at the branch office or at home, Lu Ning was constantly striving to hone his spirit.

Gradually, Lu Ning's long black hair grew shorter and shorter.

You know, he had cut his hair short before, but it grew back after he slept.

Now the hair has shrunk back on its own.

In addition, the situation where Lu Ning would sometimes turn into a wax figure has been greatly alleviated.

As for the softened facial features, they have gradually recovered.

However, as Lu Ning's facial features recovered, he felt that Colin and the others looked at him with a hint of regret.

Time passes.

Two months passed in a flash.

That day and night, Lu Ning completely refined and absorbed the white mist.

As the last wisp of white mist was absorbed, a shrill, angry cry rang out.

Lu Ning's body seemed to be watched by an invisible gaze, a gaze that transcended time and space, a gaze filled with extreme anger.

In a very short instant, Lu Ning's body turned into a wax figure, which then exploded and flew everywhere.

Then, the wax block seemed to be burned by an invisible flame, gradually melting and turning into pools of wax oil.

Several hours later, the wax seemed to come to life, slowly solidifying and wriggling.

All the wax blocks scattered throughout the room crawled onto the bed, transforming into the same figure leaning against the headboard as before—it was Lu Ning.

At this moment, Lu Ning has returned to her original appearance.

As the wax figure gradually came to life, Lu Ning slowly opened her eyes.

A sinister pink light flickered in his eyes.
