Chapter 68 The Secret Beneath Baoshan Hospital

Zhou Zheng didn't say anything more, but instead looked around and activated his ability to see health bars to see what secrets this hospital was hiding.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Zheng actually sets the ability to display health bars to only show them when there is hostility, so as to avoid seeing a bunch of health bars walking around every day when he opens his eyes, which would affect his life.

In the case of active reconnaissance, Zhou Zheng is able to see the health bars of living beings and objects, including but not limited to the sun, moon, and other planets in space.

If you are willing to strengthen your mind to perceive, you can even see more.

Zhou Zheng is capable of doing this but doesn't like to use it, and the reason is simple: every time he activates his perception in all directions, a large amount of information floods into his mind, to the point that he can't handle it and can only activate his abilities to a limited extent.

This time, it was also limited, but a level higher than the usual investigation standards.

Looking up, there's not much to see; it's just a bunch of normal health bar information. A few details are worth noting, but you can write them down first.

Keep scrolling down and you'll see some very interesting information.

[Demonized Genetically Modified Body (Peak First Tier - In Progress of Demonization)]

The health bar is underground, probably on the second or third floor.

Zhou Zheng looked at the health bar, pondered for a moment, and focused more intently on whether he could gather more information.

Focus your mind and attention.

The investment failed.

Very well, I don't have any good ideas.

Seeing the health bar is like math: if you understand how it works, then you know how it works. If you don't understand how it works, then there's only one solution you can write.

The more you know, the more information you can analyze. If you don't know much, all you can analyze is the health bar.

Zhou Zheng withdrew his gaze, feeling helpless: "What a pity."

Liu Zhen propped his chin on his hand: "I don't think you've cultivated any special abilities, so how come your observation skills are so strong?"

Liu Zhen could naturally see everything happening underground, but he didn't understand how Zhou Zheng had managed to see down there.

Zhou Zheng asked curiously, "The Heavenly Eye Divine Power? Is there a cultivation method for it? I'd like to try it out."

Liu Zhen took out his phone, searched for the resource package, downloaded it, and forwarded it directly: "Sent it to you, remember to read it. If your innate supernatural ability is some kind of insight-based ability, cultivating the Heavenly Eye supernatural ability will benefit you. However, the Heavenly Eye supernatural ability has an extremely high threshold for cultivation, generally... never mind, you can do it, you give it a try."

For a genius who dared to attempt and successfully cultivate fifteen cultivation techniques at the Qi Refining stage, even if he initially got stuck with his Heavenly Eye Divine Power, he could find the knack after some trial and error.

Zhou Zheng: "Alright, once Captain Chu Chen and Boss Nie arrive, we'll go down and see what's going on. This place is really interesting."

Standing in the corner, Ding Lang felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and his legs began to tremble slightly.

Zhou Zheng glanced at it but didn't bother to pay any more attention.

Less than fifteen minutes later, everyone heard a whooshing sound overhead, like an airplane flying overhead.

Two minutes later, a series of footsteps came from the corridor, accompanied by shouts of hitting and cursing.

"How dare you take any kind of money?! Are you out of your mind?! Isn't your family giving you enough money?!"

"Ancestor, I really don't know who you're talking about! Even if I accept it, nothing will happen! Besides, I can't refuse it either, they keep trying to bribe me, I can't stop them!"

"You'd better confess everything once you're inside!"

Chu Chen was exasperated. He pulled a young man inside, and when he saw Zhou Zheng, he immediately put on a smile: "Master Zhou, thank you for your hard work in the middle of the night. I brought this young man with me."

Chu Liang looked aggrieved, but forced a smile and said, "I really don't know what's going on with Baoshan Hospital. I'm from Liangcheng, how can I have any say in what's going on here in Heshan?"

Chu Chen kicked Chu Liang in the back of the knee, sending him sprawling to his knees on the floor: "Just answer whatever Master Zhou asks you, don't spout nonsense."

Chu Liang knelt on the ground, not daring to move, and bowed his head, saying, "Yes, sir."

Chu Chen smiled ingratiatingly: "Master Zhou, the person has been brought here. Please ask him with confidence; I guarantee he will speak freely."

The Special Training Department is the official secular administration of cultivators' affairs, while the Thunder Department directly manages the rewards, punishments, and breakthroughs of the entire cultivation world. If the Thunder Department were to hold a grudge against someone like me, I'd suffer greatly during my minor tribulation when breaking through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.

Zhou Zheng: "Ding Lang confessed that he and Boss Nie gave you gifts together and that he knows you. Please explain yourself."

Chu Liang was stunned and looked up: "That's Ding Lang? That's Boss Nie?"

Zhou Zheng: "Ding Lang, turn around and show him what Boss Nie looks like."

Ding Lang quickly turned around, took out his phone, and showed Nie Xin's photo.

Chu Liang glanced at it and complained, "Master Zhou, you can't blame me for this. I'm from the Special Repair Department of Liangcheng. Just because they say they know me doesn't mean they know me. Even if they were to pay homage to a sect, they'd have to go through He Shan!"

Zhou Zheng looked at Ding Lang.

Ding Lang chuckled dryly: "It was Tang Shen, the leader, who recommended him."

Chu Liang suddenly realized, "Oh! It was him. I vaguely remember him. Master Zhou, should I call him over? I really don't know anything about Baoshan Hospital. I work in Liangcheng! I can't reach that far!"

Zhou Zheng: "...Go ahead and shout."

It seems I raised my voice too high.

Chu Liang knelt on the ground, pulled out his phone, and made a call: "Hey, Tang Shen, you have ten minutes to get to the second floor of Baoshan Hospital. You motherfucker, you're going to get me killed! If you don't get here, you might as well go straight to death row!"

Zhou Zheng raised an eyebrow: "Is Tang Shen your subordinate?"

Chu Liang: "...Master Zhou, you can't pin this blame on me. It's true I'm from the Special Repair Department, but I was sent from out of town. Aside from my regular duties, how dare I meddle in other people's business? Even if the subordinates do something wrong, it's none of my concern! I wouldn't dare to mess around. As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Besides, I'm not a powerful dragon; I'd be making a mistake if I even glanced outside."

Zhou Zheng: "So you're just being lazy?"

Chu Liang's face flushed red. He looked at Xu Fan sitting in a chair and pointed at him, saying, "You can't say that, Daoist Zhou. Take the Xu Fan family case, for example. Do you think we didn't investigate it? After I came here, I specifically went through all the major cases that had been piling up in this area. We just didn't dare to investigate further! We actually found clues about a Golden Core Realm expert. Who knows what we might find if we investigate any further?"

It's fine if it's not weighed, but once it's on the scale, who knows how many thousands of kilograms it weighs? This matter can only be reported upwards, and the higher-ups are also having a headache. At least in the short term, as long as there isn't a case of a Golden Core Realm expert sacrificing lives, some things will be turned a blind eye. The death of a rogue cultivator family like the Xu family is nothing. What if the Xu family was foolish enough to offend a Golden Core Realm expert? Or what if a Golden Core Realm expert set a trap for the Xu family? Can our Special Training Department really make things difficult for them?

It's not that we don't do things; we do what we can, and we delay doing what we can, and we really have no other choice when it comes to things we can't do.

You're sending our Special Training Corps to offend a Golden Core expert? Isn't that suicide, boss?

Zhou Zheng: "Do you know about the sealed land?"

Chu Liang was taken aback: "What sealed land?"

Zhou Zheng sighed: "It's alright, Brother Liu, isn't Lei Bu overseeing things?"

Liu Zhen shrugged: "Yes, I asked privately, and the archives even record that the Xu family's presence is rated as excellent."

Theoretically, yes, but in reality, the Heavenly Realm has too many things to deal with, so there are bound to be oversights. Who could have imagined that this ancient demon beast seal, which had been intact for nearly a thousand years, would run into trouble?

Zhou Zheng asked in surprise, "Excellent?"

Liu Zhen: "They held out during World War II, but who could have known that they would all suddenly die in the blink of an eye."

From the celestial perspective: The Xu family has worked diligently for so many years, managing to remain stable through dynastic changes and wars; it's impossible for them to suddenly die.

In reality: Oh no, he died instantly.

Zhou Zheng: "...That's true."

Who could have imagined that this once-powerful family would perish in peacetime?

Liu Zhen: "The last inspection was thirty years ago. I don't know how the Xu family dealt with the inspection, but the Xu family did indeed secretly die out in those thirty years."

This was even a family of cultivators; they died way too quickly.

Zhou Zheng asked in surprise, "The sealed area is only managed by the Xu family?"

Isn't this underestimating Zhu Yan?

Liu Zhen's expression turned slightly serious: "That's the problem. We can't contact the immortals who are supposed to be guarding the area."

Zhou Zheng raised an eyebrow: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's deal with the Baoshan Hospital issue after Tang Shen arrives."

Chu Chen chuckled dryly: "Um, Master Zhou, should I forget what I just heard?"

Chu Liang obediently knelt on the ground and covered his ears with his hands. When he saw Zhou Zheng looking over, he gave a shy smile, indicating that he hadn't heard anything.

Zhou Zheng waved his hand: "Go sit down over there."

Chu Chen hurriedly pulled Chu Liang to sit down aside, trying to minimize his presence.

How could something as trivial as embezzling a little money lead to such a terrible incident?
