Chapter 5: Severed Arm! Joining the Cabinet and Receiving Official Rank
"The Superpower Seed was documented in the texts of the Daluo Sect."
Within the Dream Command, True Master Qing Ding said to Li Fei:
"Different Superpower Seeds, different Martial Artists, have different methods of assimilating. Some methods can increase the probability of successful absorption, yet there is no record in the Daluo Sect's texts of the [Mixed Element Heavenly Gold] absorbing [Refining] Superpower."
Moreover, your current situation is very special, it's not just [Mixed Element Heavenly Gold], but also a Flying Sword Body, which is Magic and Martial Unity. In this situation, there are simply no cases to reference."
Li Fei fell silent.
A sixty percent success rate is already not low, after all, it directly grants a Divine Skill.
However, this Superpower Seed in his hands holds a different meaning for Li Fei; it's not just about acquiring a new Divine Skill.
In some sense, Li Fei views it as another form of Hao Yi's existence in this world, so he must succeed, no failure allowed!
"Is there any universal method that can be applied to absorb any Superpower Seed?"
Li Fei asked.
"Yes, just increase your luck."
"Huh?"
"When luck reaches its peak, everything will happen as you wish, as if aided by the heavens. This is Qi Fortune."
"Qi Fortune..."
"You are currently recognized as the greatest hero in history; you have Qi Fortune upon you. Besides that, you are also the Duke of a Great Country, with a portion of National Fortune bestowed upon you. However, you don't specialize in this path, so these fortunes lie dormant within you, and you can't actively utilize them. You just need to find a magician who is skilled in this path to help you activate the Qi Fortune within you, and focus it on refining the Superpower Seed. With your current fortune, your success rate should be able to increase by a few percent."
"What if it still doesn't reach a hundred percent success rate?"
"Then you can only let the Emperor add on to your National Fortune."
"Understood..."
Li Fei exited the Dream Command.
Regarding the magician skilled in Qi Fortune, he immediately thought of State Preceptor Yun Shu.
It was Yun Shu who initially loaded a surge of Emperor's Dragon Qi onto him, thus allowing him to defeat the controlled Imperial Camp Army.
But Yun Shu is currently in seclusion, recovering from injuries; he had already been summoned by the Emperor once because of Li Fei's affairs. Can he be called out again now?
Moreover, with Qing Xu's rebellion, warfare erupted in the Northern Territory, severe snowstorms struck the Northern Five Provinces, and the New Heaven Association incident followed... This series of events likely harmed the National Fortune.
Under such circumstances, asking the Emperor to consume even more National Fortune for him would likely be difficult.
Even his own son might not easily get such treatment...
Li Fei stepped out of the secret room, pondering over countermeasures.
"Marquis, Lord He Jian is here."
The butler suddenly found Li Fei and said to him.
Li Fei had specifically instructed that besides those who had submitted visiting cards in advance, any others coming to visit him, unless their status was particularly important, should be politely declined by the butler.
After all, his time is limited, and he also needs to cultivate.
But there are exceptions, such as He Jian.
"Alright."
Li Fei headed towards the main hall.
Soon, he saw the familiar elderly man in the main hall.
Observing the other party's complexion seriously, after being treated by 'Qing Shen', his condition had noticeably improved compared to before.
"Is there anything you need from me?"
Both parties were very familiar, so Li Fei skipped the pleasantries, directly asking.
He Jian was also straightforward, handing over a dossier to Li Fei:
"The case involving the collusion between the New Heaven Association and the Entry World Conference has concluded, following the clues; I found key evidence proving the Heavenly Altar assassination case is related to the New Heaven Association. This case can now be closed!"
Hearing this, Li Fei's spirit lifted, and he quickly took the dossier to read.
For such a long time, he had been busy with his cultivation, almost neglecting the investigation of the case, leaving it entirely to He Jian to handle.
Of the year's three major cases, those involving Prince Cheng's Princely Heir and the Third Prince had already been decided without any further investigation possible.
So, during this period, He Jian had been tracing the case of collaboration between the Entry World Conference and the New Heaven Association, and he finally found the key evidence.
"Was Su Yifei killed by Huang Jin?"
Li Fei looked at the conclusion in the dossier, and with some surprise, turned to He Jian:
"Who is Huang Jin, and why did he kill the Inspector's son?"
He Jian: "Huang Jin is Shen Tuyue's senior brother, he once challenged you, but was refused by you."
"Oh..."
Li Fei tried to recall, vaguely remembering such a person.
"Why did he kill Su Yifei then?"
"According to the clues I've gathered, it should be a crime of passion."
"What?"
"Su Yifei had been pursuing Shen Tuyue, while Huang Jin harbored feelings for Shen Tuyue all along. When you captured Shen Tuyue and imprisoned him, Su Yifei manipulated public opinion and brought reporters to block the gate."
"That's insane, to kill over this?"
Li Fei found it completely incomprehensible.
He Jian looked at him: "There are many irrational lunatics in this world, Huang Jin possessed an extremely strong possessiveness and was profoundly selfish, so it's not unusual for him to kill on impulse."
"..."
"Because on the day following Su Yifei's death, Huang Jin was killed by You Ming, and coupled with the lack of much interaction between them previously, with no apparent grievances, nobody initially suspected Huang Jin of killing Su Yifei. Huang Jin deliberately misled the clues towards the New Heaven Association, but used channels from the Entry World Conference instead, leading to Su Xuesong ultimately suspecting that the Entry World Conference had borrowed a knife to commit murder."
"So actually, this matter has little to do with the Entry World Conference, and Su Xuesong's relentless retaliation was targeting the wrong party."
Li Fei sighed.
To think that a dignified Inspector, Governor, would forfeit official position just to drag the vice president of the Entry World Conference down, thereby suppressing the Entry World Conference.
