What Ji Yang didn’t expect was that the leader of the arriving team was an incredibly beautiful woman.
This woman had a seductive face, her eyes were enchanting, and her figure was mesmerizing. Anyone standing in front of her would be influenced by her presence. As she stepped out of the car, all the men’s gazes fell upon her.
Even though her attire was modest and not revealing, just by standing there, she had a way of making men feel a criminal impulse.
Ji Yang felt the same urge.
Something was wrong; this woman had cultivated some kind of special technique.
Ji Yang immediately thought of this possibility.
The woman stood there and glanced over the crowd. Although she looked at Ji Yang, she quickly scanned over Yu without any intention of stopping.
It seemed she didn’t notice his cultivation level.
Ji Yang had already discerned that this woman’s cultivation was at the first level of a Qi Refining Practitioner, which was considered a considerable cultivation.
This was the first time Ji Yang had encountered a cultivator.
Moreover, Ji Yang noticed that this woman wore a type of magic artifact that could resist the erosion of Mortal Dust Qi, at least slowing the depletion of her True Yuan.
Though her True Yuan wasn’t entirely unaffected, its consumption was slow to the point of being almost unnoticeable.
What kind of magic artifact was that?
Ji Yang was curious about the artifact she possessed.
Initially, Ji Yang was somewhat worried that these cultivators arriving might pose a threat to him. However, after seeing this woman’s situation, Ji Yang felt relieved. The artifact was indeed impressive, but it merely counteracted the erosion of Mortal Dust Qi and didn’t completely block it. If the woman used her True Yuan, it would still deplete quickly and couldn’t be replenished.
This meant the cultivators could withstand the Mortal World with such an artifact but couldn’t freely use their True Yuan.
If that were the case, Ji Yang felt reassured. As long as they didn’t dare to act rashly, he could employ various strategies.
In just an instant, Ji Yang had grasped the situation of the cultivators hidden within the Blessed Lands and Caves.
"Welcome to all of you. I am Zhang Chaoping, the Secretary of the Ximu City Committee."
Zhang Chaoping seemed to know something about the situation, and naturally, he wouldn’t miss the chance to form an alliance with them. He immediately stepped forward, even revealing his identity.
The woman then looked at Zhang Chaoping, her eyes seeming to scrutinize him, and said, "I am Xuan Yanwu, the Deputy Director of the Tenth Bureau."
She didn’t reach out to shake hands with Zhang Chaoping, which made him feel somewhat awkward as he extended his hand.
Ji Yang observed all this, further understanding that although the people from the Tenth Bureau were under higher leadership, they likely wielded significant power and operated independently.
Ji Yang also pretended to be unaware of the situation, stepping forward and saying, "I am Mayor Ji Yang."
The woman also looked at Ji Yang but wasn’t overly concerned.
In their minds, perhaps only cultivators had the qualification to speak on equal terms with them.
Ji Yang no longer bothered with this matter.
As members of the group wanted to introduce themselves, the woman said, "Enough. Our purpose here is to see the cultivator hideout. Take us to have a look."
As she spoke, those who accompanied her remained silent. Content originally comes from novel·fıre·net
Ji Yang glanced at those people and could tell that they weren’t cultivators but rather individuals with Inner Qi, practitioners of ordinary techniques.
It seemed that cultivators weren’t as common as cabbage!
At this point, Zhang Chaoping said, "We have been preparing, so ."
Ji Yang had initially not intended to go with them, but then the woman said, "The city leaders can come with us; the others needn’t bother."
Ji Yang had no choice but to join them in the car.
While the car was on the road, Ji Yang sat there observing the women, especially analyzing this particular woman.
In this observation, Ji Yang discovered that there was an incredibly dense aura emanating from the woman. This aura wasn’t something that any of his own women could provide. Ji Yang even speculated that if he absorbed her Qi, his cultivation could reach the fourth level of a Qi Refining Practitioner.
Could it be that female cultivators could offer more help in terms of cultivation?
Ji Yang began to entertain this possibility.
Of course, Ji Yang also realized the difference in status between himself and this woman. Despite being a chief-level official, she probably didn’t take him seriously. It wasn’t feasible to obtain her Qi.
Ji Yang also had another concern: the Qi he absorbed all came from women in the Mortal World, so he didn’t know if the Qi of a female cultivator might be harmful to him.
He thought it might be worth trying when there’s an opportunity.
