As soon as Guan Bo, director of the Investigation Bureau, walked in, he heard Zhang Jiyuan muttering to himself in confusion.
"Master Zhang, have you encountered any problems?" he asked with concern.
Zhang Jiyuan turned around to see who was coming and relaxed.
Although he still had doubts about his feelings just now, he just shook his head helplessly.
"I am not well-versed in martial arts and have not yet been able to comprehend the key points of the "Heaven and Earth Classic." He said with a wry smile.
Director Guan came to Zhang Jiyuan and said disapprovingly.
"Master, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You are now the most important secret weapon of our Investigation Bureau."
"Thanks to your calculations, our Bureau has been able to encounter members of the Hermit Society several times."
"Although they are still unwilling to have more in-depth exchanges with the authorities."
"But after many communications, their relationship with the authorities has become much closer, and we are able to learn more about the extraordinary."
Director Guan praised Zhang Jiyuan and couldn't help but sigh.
"The Hermits are truly a group of righteous people. I really want to sit down and have a good chat with their leader."
Zhang Jiyuan smiled and shook his head.
"Whether it's the Investigation Bureau or the Hermit Society, their goal is to maintain social harmony and balance."
"I believe that you all deserve the highest praise."
Director Guan looked at Zhang Jiyuan with a hint of emotion.
"Master, you are too kind. The role played by our Investigation Bureau is far less than that of the Hermit Society."
Zhang Jiyuan smiled but said nothing.
But he changed the subject and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he asked Guan Bo why he came.
"I wonder what Director Guan has come here for?"
"Oops!" Director Guan slapped his head and frowned in frustration: "I almost forgot about the important matter."
He placed all the information and photos he brought with him on a small table beside him for Zhang Jiyuan to review one by one.
A hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes as he introduced the project they had previously experimented with.
"Thanks to the techniques provided by Taoist Zhang, our experiments in the army have yielded positive feedback."
"All five hundred soldiers who participated in practicing the Heaven and Earth Scriptures have successfully drawn Qi into their bodies!"
"Those who have made the fastest progress in cultivation have become able to withstand weights of thousands of pounds and tear tigers and leopards apart with their bare hands."
"Ordinary knives, daggers, and other knives can no longer pose a threat to them. They are simply humanoid weapons!"
"If we can spread this technique abroad, the time will not be far off for every Chinese person to be as powerful as a dragon!"
When he got excited, Director Guan couldn't help but gesture and slammed the railing of the moon-viewing platform.
It is a great fortune for China to meet such a selfless and extraordinary person like Zhang Jiyuan!
Zhang Jiyuan was also very excited. He was already in his seventies and had witnessed the gradual rise of China.
People abroad would just say lightly: "China is just developing along the path they have taken."
Only they themselves know the bitterness and difficulties involved.
No one who has lived through that era does not want to see China getting better and better.
Director Guan was filled with enthusiasm and explained the progress of the experiment in detail.
"Besides the military, we also found other people to practice the introductory techniques of the Heaven and Earth Scripture."
"According to experiments, we found that the younger the child, the faster they cultivate and the easier it is for them to draw Qi into their bodies."
"In addition, there is also the list of members that we obtained from the Hermit Society last time at Ningmei Hospital."
"We brought in the people on the list and also joined the extraordinary experiment."
"Although they started late, they are now all capable of carrying 500 kilograms. Their talent is terrifying!"
"Although they all have various character flaws, they are not a big problem."
Zhang Jiyuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, with a constant look of joy on his face.
Although he never failed to pay attention to the progress of the experiment, he always listened with great interest.
At this time, Director Guan paused for a moment and began to look embarrassed.
"But for some reason, their cultivation progress has slowed down, as if they have reached a bottleneck."
"I came here this time to ask the Taoist priest if he knows what the problem is."
The Taoist priest also attached great importance to this, and said after lowering his head and pondering for a moment.
"Is there anything unusual about their current behavior?"
"Abnormal? Does it count just because they have a big appetite now?" Director Guan thought about it and only thought of this.
"They are particularly fond of beef and mutton. The soldiers who have made the most progress in their cultivation can eat an entire cow in one meal!"
"If you don't eat enough, you won't be able to concentrate on your cultivation."
Director Guan recalled the situation when they went there for an inspection last time. Hundreds of people were waiting in the cafeteria, constantly complaining of hunger.
Like a zombie who hadn't eaten for a year, his eyes turned red when he saw the food served from the kitchen.
To this end, they specially dispatched additional logistics personnel and transported cattle and sheep directly from Meng Province to cook for them.
However, this consumption is nothing compared to the value they can create.
"Besides that, they also love mutant plants. Eating one plant is more filling than eating three meals."
Director Guan continued to add.
This is what their investigators discovered when they encountered members of the Hermit Society in Shennongjia.
The female extraordinary person was very disgusted with the giant python's vomit, but still took one of the plants away.
Afterwards, the Investigation Bureau went to various deep mountains and forests to search, and actually found many similar mutant plants.
Now they have all been sent to the China Botanical Research Institute.
The number of mutant plants is very small, and it really hurts Director Guan to use them as food.
Now there are only more than 500 people, barely enough to maintain supply.
Zhang Jiyuan stroked his silver beard lightly, and understood everything after hearing this.
