Chapter 238: Chapter 183: Drenched in Sewage, 20 Years in Prison—Are You Satisfied with This Wish Result? (Part 5)

"Wow, what’s up with this dung truck? How can the driver be so careless? A dung tank actually making money, that’s just too much!"

"Exactly, exactly, how can a dung tank feed two gold diggers? If foreigners see this, they’ll think we Dragon Country folks can’t manage so much excrement, can’t even feed two ladies!"

"One per person, it must be one dung tank per person! I’m saying everyone here, one per person, otherwise in such situations in the future, we can’t let people go hungry and be disappointed!"

...

Amidst overwhelming comments and a search heat of hundreds of thousands per second, countless foreign netizens who jumped the wall were soon drawn in.

Watching that incredible scene, these foreigners held their heads with both hands and shouted out that classic slogan:

Dragon kingdom, this is the dragon kingdom!

(Dragon Country, this is Dragon Country!)

The dung eater’s video popularity skyrocketed globally, dominating with a crushing stance on every website.

The video was already full of hype and emotional provocations, coupled with the Changchun Temple as a traffic magnet, instantly turning these mother-daughter gold diggers into worldwide sensations!

The oppressed side-show girls angrily clicked the video, thinking their suppression must be due to some dark dealings.

But after watching the video, they collectively went silent, with some sympathetic ones even spending their own money to boost the video’s promotion.

For Ning An, he naturally paid no mind to these things, as only cultivating immortality was his greatest aspiration.

...

At the same time, the newly established Dragon Country Non-natural Phenomena Investigation and Management Bureau, referred to as the Supernatural Bureau, was also urgently founded.

In truth, the nation had never understood one thing.

That is, whether it was Quan Xiaobai and his manufactured zombies, the Maoshan Corpse Cultivation Technique or Lin Nanbei’s crafted Thunder Talisman, all these superpowers merged into one question:

Why would such inexplicable changes occur?

Dragon Country has never been short of legends or myriad so-called cultivation methods from ancient times to the present.

Even initially, the government was quite curious about these things.

They established a technology exchange association, collected magic from all directions, visited renowned practitioners, and found many so-called Land Immortals, carrying out decades of observation and research.

The final conclusion was just five words: "It’s all pure nonsense!"

They simply warned them not to preach arbitrarily, and tossed it aside without further heed.

Before zombies made their appearance, nearly all senior officials firmly believed these things were mere frauds, serving mainly as psychological comfort.

But now, suddenly someone is saying that zombies have appeared, corpse cultivation is real, and even talismans have been successfully practiced!

This undoubtedly felt like slaps on both cheeks for all the Dragon Country people who had always insisted it was all deceitful stuff.

The newly established Supernatural Bureau sent its first deputy director personally to Ganzhou Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Dragon Tiger Mountain is the head of the Daoist sect, where Zhengyi Dao founder Zhang Daoling once practiced alchemy, with the lore of "Alchemy complete and dragons and tigers emerge," hence the name.

According to Taoist scriptures, Zhang Daoling’s fourth-generation grandson Zhang Sheng settled at Dragon Tiger Mountain during either the Three Kingdoms or the Western Jin Dynasty.

Since then, the descendants of Celestial Master Zhang have lived at Dragon Tiger Mountain, maintaining the lineage for sixty-three generations over one thousand nine hundred years, continuing to the present.

The Supernatural Bureau’s deputy director, the elder who requested Quan Xiaobai, is in fact a high-ranking military figure, a top-tier one.

Having heard of such a significant person’s arrival, the current Celestial Master Zhang Yuanyi was somewhat astonished and proceeded to engage in a conversation.

He then began gathering research personnel along with the Dragon Tiger Mountain cultivators to embark on secret studies.

After a week of experiments and observations, both parties came to a conclusion: a mysterious factor in the air is affecting the world.

According to fantasy novels, this phenomenon is known as Spiritual Qi Revival.

Considering Dragon Country’s abundant myths and legends about Spiritual Qi from ancient times to now, the term Spiritual Qi is not a modern invention but one that has existed ages ago.

This experiment indeed indicates that the things previously scoffed at by officials are now quietly coming to life.

However, they far exceed common human cognition and understanding, coupled with scientific instruments’ inability to detect or capture, resulting in persistent silence.

Until Celestial Master Zhang Yuanyi solemnly spoke that sentence, even the peak of ordinary individuals, the military giant, took a sharp breath.

He was all too aware of the potential consequences this might bring; if mishandled, it could open Pandora’s box!

Straining to stabilize his mind, he asked in a low voice, "Celestial Master Zhang, can you assure this statement?"

"Whether it is true or false, it will be proven soon."

"It’s just speculation, physical evidence is still necessary."

The previous elder, whose real name was Xiao Kunshan, was quite cautious at this point.

For something potentially altering the world order, he needed the most direct evidence.

At least it should be detectable by instruments!

After all, it concerns Dragon Country’s stability, that’s the fundamental assurance!

However, Zhang Yuanyi shook his head, regrettably saying, "I’m unable to provide a definite answer right now."

Xiao Kunshan shook his head, eventually returning to the Capital City, and though the information was not rigorous, it was enough to provoke a maelstrom.

...

As for Ning An, he continued his leisurely breathing cultivation.

Since his return, he openly welcomed guests at the temple without ever considering hiding.

Truly thought the government’s Celestial Eye was useless? That they hadn’t discovered him all this time?

It’s merely that the country hasn’t decided how to engage him yet.

After all, he’s not Quan Xiaobai.

As for whether they will forcibly suppress him?

If the state really did this, Ning An would have to ponder just how low the intelligence of Dragon Country’s strategists would be to move against him.

Nonetheless, his fundamental cultivation requires the platform that Changchun Temple provides.

Thus, since arriving till now, Ning An has been carefree, eating and drinking as he pleases, without stressing over anything.

To Ning An, the worst-case scenario is entering the system, which isn’t necessarily bad; for now, he waits for the officials to negotiate.

However, preceding the officials, the announcement came from the Dragon Country Police Department.
