Guo Kai wanted to report to Long Yifei that the large bird that captured people had been taken down by Lan Hua, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't say it.
Lan Hua bowed slightly and followed Guo Kai out of the room.
Although Commander Long disliked him, Lan Hua could sense that this person's cultivation was unfathomable.
After all, he's the head of a department; he can't do this job without some serious skills.
Guo Kai gave an awkward smile, "Young Master Lan, please forgive me. Commander Long has never been very fond of those who get in through connections, so his tone wasn't very nice!"
Lan Hua expressed her understanding, saying that it was naturally good for the Demon Suppression Division to have such a wise master.
"Commander Guo, does the Commander dislike the person recommended by the Third Prince?"
Guo Kai laughed and said, "The candidates recommended by the Third Prince are indeed uneven and somewhat unsatisfactory, but the Commander's intentions are not solely directed at the Third Prince!"
Lan Hua smiled and said, "From what you're saying, quite a few people have entered the Demon Suppression Division through back channels?"
"Indeed, both the First Prince and the Second Prince have recommended quite a few people to the department!"
Lan Hua feigned surprise: "Why do these princes all like to recommend the Demon Suppression Guards to the Demon Suppression Division?"
Guo Kai glanced around and whispered, "This involves the struggle for the throne among the three princes. The current emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince, and the Demon Suppression Division is full of cultivators!"
"Whoever controls the Demon Suppression Division controls nearly half of the cultivators in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, "The Demon Suppression Division actually has so many cultivators!"
Guo Kai laughed and said, "That's right, this is just the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. There are many other Demon Suppression Divisions outside the capital!"
Lan Hua thought to herself, "As expected." Zhou Yu's introduction of her to the Demon Suppression Division was also paving the way for his own throne!
Although Zhou Yu went to the Pill God Palace to cultivate, he would not stay for long and would eventually return to the capital to compete for the position of Crown Prince.
Lan Hua scoffed, "You can try to seize your crown prince title, I'm not going to help you!"
Guo Kai led Lan Hua to a corner of the Demon Suppression Division, where the Demon Suppression Guards lived.
The room Lan Hua stayed in was quite nice, spacious, and fully equipped.
Through the window, you can see a tall tower inside the Demon Suppression Bureau, which is nine stories high and quite magnificent.
Guo Kai laughed and said, "If you need anything, just let me know. I live downstairs from you!"
Lan Hua nodded her thanks.
night.
Lan Hua arrived at the Demon Suppression Division's training ground and started a barbecue party.
Skewers of grilled bird meat emitted an enticing aroma, attracting many of the demon-suppressing guards to join in.
The flesh of demonic beasts contains a lot of spiritual energy and is very nourishing.
A bite of bird meat, a sip of cloudy wine—the meal was thoroughly enjoyable.
Taking this opportunity, Lan Hua also got to know many of the Demon Suppression Guards.
Among them were people from the First Prince, people from the Second Prince, and people from the Third Prince who directly addressed Lan Hua as brothers.
The demon-suppressing guards introduced by the Third Prince were indeed of poor quality; they were basically just there to get by.
The Demon Suppression Bureau was established by the imperial court. In addition to a monthly salary, it also distributes a considerable amount of spirit stones to support the Demon Suppression Guards in their continued cultivation.
Many of the demon-suppressing guards were indeed drawing salaries but doing nothing, and their bodies were covered in fat that weighed an unknown amount.
The enormous bird was quickly devoured.
There was only one person that Lan Hua found acceptable.
This man is named Chen Kun. He comes from the Fengyue Sect in the Western Regions. He is only thirty years old, but he has the cultivation level of the Transformation Realm.
However, not many people attended the barbecue party, which puzzled Lan Hua.
Guo Kai laughed and said, "Many of the Demon Suppression Division's personnel have gone to investigate cases in the western part of the city!"
According to him, it was a major case.
Seeing the chaotic scene at the martial arts arena, Long Yifei was so angry he almost lost his temper.
If the person who introduced him hadn't been the Third Prince, he would have definitely gone to greet him.
"Well, the Demon Suppression Division has hired another idle person!"
Long Yifei shook his head, disappointed in Lan Hua, and strode away.
It was late at night.
Lan Hua sensed something was off today; there were faint signs of a breakthrough.
Since he learned the Dan Tian Jue, he discovered that this Jue complemented the Yin Yang Tian Jue, and his cultivation improved considerably.
On his way to the capital, he had already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Pure Yuan Realm.
However, Lan Hua felt that the Dan Tian Jue he cultivated was incomplete, as if the Dan Shen Palace had withheld some of it.
With a wave of his right hand, Lan Hua produced a small box in his palm. Inside the box were seven Breakthrough Pills that he had refined.
"It's time to break through!"
Lan Hua picked up a Breakthrough Pill and swallowed it.
The Breakthrough Pill melts upon entering the mouth, transforming into a stream of energy that spreads throughout the body.
Lan Hua then focused her mind and began to break through to the next realm with all her might.
With her beautiful master and the big gray dog not around, Lan Hua dared not be careless; one wrong move and she might be dead.
The so-called Transformation Realm is actually the process of compressing the original gaseous Yuan energy in the body into a liquid state.
If the Yuan energy becomes liquid, then the Yuan energy in the dantian can be stored in more, and the strength will naturally be stronger.
However, compressing gaseous elemental energy into liquid is not easy.
This requires applying extremely high pressure to the dantian to achieve the transformation.
Insufficient pressure caused liquefaction failure.
Excessive pressure can overwhelm the dantian (lower abdomen), causing it to collapse and rendering the person useless.
If you're not careful, your dantian might collapse, causing your vital energy to surge outwards, and you'll die.
Therefore, the Breakthrough Pill is very important.
Lan Hua first used the Dan Tian Technique to control the Dan fire within her body, continuously heating and pressurizing her dantian.
As the pressure in her dantian gradually increased, Lan Hua's face showed signs of pain.
At this moment, a red shadow was faintly visible on Lan Hua's chest, which was the result of the intense burning of the Crimson Lotus Flame.
The room alternated between red and black, which was quite eerie.
Sweat soaked Lan Hua's body, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy transformed from the Breakthrough Pill rushed into the middle dantian.
One part merges with the dantian, solidifying it; the other part merges with the primordial energy, greatly increasing the pressure within the dantian.
The Dan Fire sensed this spiritual energy and resonated with it, causing a vibration wave to ripple through its dantian.
boom!
Lan Hua shuddered, and her gaseous Yuan energy suddenly turned into a liquid state.
As her dantian gradually returned to calm, the pain on Lan Hua's face also gradually disappeared.
Lan Hua opened her eyes, feeling somewhat tired, but her heart was filled with joy.
"It's a success!"
"I've broken through to the Transformation Realm!"
Although it was only the first level of the Transformation Realm, Lan Hua clearly felt that her body had become lighter.
Using his internal vision technique, he discovered that his dantian had actually grown larger.
Although the amount of Yuan energy is not much, this shows that Lan Hua's Dantian can hold significantly more Yuan energy than the average person.
"What a pleasant surprise!"
"Could this be what Sister Xuan'er meant when she said that the Breakthrough Pill she refined herself would have miraculous effects if used by herself?"
At the Dan Shen Palace, thousands of miles away, Kong Xuan also completed her breakthrough.
Thanks to the breakthrough pill given to her by Lan Hua, Kong Xuan's breakthrough was relatively smooth.
In order to break through the barrier, she deliberately wore only a close-fitting thin gauze.
Even so, the sheer fabric was completely soaked, revealing her full and alluring figure.
If Lan Hua were still in the Pill God Palace, they would definitely vie to protect her, and perhaps she would even have a chance to feast her eyes on her.
"I wonder how Lanhua is doing now?" Kong Xuan asked with some sorrow.
As soon as Lan Hua broke through to the next level, she immediately summoned the Piercing Bow and pulled back the bowstring.
He felt an inexhaustible energy throughout his body, and drawing the bowstring taut was effortless; even his eyesight had improved considerably.
