Chapter 325: Revival of spiritual energy?
Real world.
"Lin Ye, why do I feel like something is wrong with you?"
afterwards!
Chen Xi snuggled in Lin Ye's arms, raised her head and gently stroked Lin Ye's chin with her fingers.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ye asked with a smile.
"I can't explain it, but it just feels a little different. You seem to be afraid of something?"
Hearing what Chen Xi said, Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. He probably knew why Chen Xi had this feeling.
Xu Bo's death had a significant impact on me.
Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature.
In the real world, all of my relatives and friends are ordinary people, but now that I have embarked on the path of cultivation, my lifespan will be much longer than that of ordinary people. In the end, I will face the scene of my relatives and friends aging one by one.
He was somewhat afraid to face such a scene.
"What would it feel like to watch your friends and relatives leave you one by one?"
"Leaving me, do you mean getting old?" Chen Xi thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Everyone is going to die, so what's the big deal? As long as they are still alive, just be nice to them."
"Won't it be sad and painful?"
Chen Xi moved his body upwards, staring into Lin Ye's eyes, and the next moment he chuckled: "Neither of us are yet thirty, why are we discussing such a serious issue? Anyway, as long as they leave without regrets, I don't think there's anything to be sad about."
"Yes, it's too early to discuss this now."
Lin Ye smiled. He was not as open-minded as Chen Xi. Even if he was not a cultivator but just an ordinary person, didn’t he have to watch his elders leave first?
As long as you live longer, it is normal for your friends to be ahead of you.
"You are indeed a flower that can speak eloquently. To express my gratitude to you, I decided to comfort you."
"ah!"
"I don't want it!"
…
…
"Advisor Lin, why are you here?"
Raocheng Appraisal Institute.
When Zhong Shan saw Lin Ye, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up from his chair.
This gentleman seldom comes to the appraisal institute.
Other consultants would come to the appraisal institute once every ten days or half a month, but this gentleman might not come to the appraisal institute once a year.
"I'm a consultant after all. It's my duty to come here and take a look. Is there anything you need me to do?" Lin Ye asked with a smile.
"You have already scared away all the ghosts by serving as our consultant. Why do we need you to do anything?"
Zhong Shan's words were not meant to flatter Lin Ye. Because of Lin Ye, the entire Gan Province Appraisal Institute was the most relaxed, with almost no ghosts causing trouble.
“I see…”
As if he could see that Lin Ye was a little disappointed, or maybe he thought it was rare for Lin Ye to come to the appraisal institute, Zhong Shan thought for a while and said, "Advisor Lin, if we talk about things, there is one thing that only you can do."
"What is it?"
"Recently, there are a group of new aliens at the headquarters who will be joining the appraisal institutes in various places. We should be able to get four of them. If you, Consultant Lin, take action, you will definitely be able to recruit some powerful ones."
"The headquarters has trained a new batch of aliens?"
Lin Ye noticed the word Zhong Shan used: "a batch".
Since when can aliens be counted in batches?
"Yes, there are a total of seventy-six aliens this year, and they are all trained by our headquarters."
"So many aliens?" Lin Ye asked curiously, "Does the headquarters have the means to train aliens?"
When he was at the Zhenwu Transmission Wall, he had returned to another world once and paused the time in the real world, so only a little over a year had passed in the real world.
"No." Zhong Shan slapped his thigh and said, "Advisor Lin, you may be in seclusion practicing. You may not know that the number of extraordinary people in our country has exploded over the past year. People in the circle say that this is because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has begun to slowly recover."
Resurrection of spiritual energy?
Lin Ye thought of the words that often appeared in online novels.
"Yes, it is the revival of spiritual energy. Not only in our appraisal institute, but also in various sects, the number of extraordinary people has doubled. Some have even increased several times. Now there is no shortage of ordinary extraordinary people."
Zhong Shan told Lin Ye about the changes in the extraordinary circle over the past year.
In the past, anyone who was an extraordinary person could join the appraisal institute, but now the appraisal institute has to select people, first based on character, and then based on strength.
However, the increase in the number of extraordinary people has also brought a lot of trouble to the work of the appraisal institute.
Originally, there were fewer aliens and they were easier to manage, but now there are more aliens, and many new aliens do not abide by the regulations. More than half of the manpower of the appraisal institute is spent on these new aliens alone.
In particular, many wild aliens appeared.
After listening to Zhong Shan's introduction, Lin Ye didn't know what to say.
Wild aliens refer to those who have no sect background. These aliens do not understand the rules of aliens, but possess magical powers that exceed ordinary people, and therefore cause a lot of trouble.
According to Zhong Shan, there was a butcher who used to kill pigs, but somehow he suddenly became an extraordinary person with such evil aura that could scare people silly.
After this guy discovered his own abilities, the first thing he did was to kill the owner of the slaughterhouse and then sleep with the owner's wife.
In this guy's words, when he was a butcher, this boss exploited him in various ways, and he had long wanted to kill the boss.
The final result, of course, was that the butcher was caught and executed.
"To be realistic, the people who are most worried right now are probably the leaders."
Zhong Shan chuckled, and Lin Ye instantly understood what Zhong Shan meant.
"When will the new recruits be selected?" Lin Ye did not intend to continue this topic as it was rather sensitive.
"Tomorrow, Consultant Lin, I'll have to trouble you to go to the capital."
The newcomers are all at the headquarters, and the heads of the appraisal institutes in each province will go to Beijing for selection. Of course, the newcomers can also choose the province. This is a two-way choice.
"Okay, I'll go to the capital tomorrow."
After staying in the appraisal center for a while and making sure that there was nothing for him to do, Lin Ye had to leave.
He stayed in the appraisal institute. The employees there were not in the mood to work and kept looking at him from time to time. He decided not to disturb them.
…
…
Capital city.
"Li Ming, which province are you going to?"
"Of course, I will go to Guangdong Province. Not only are the salaries and benefits there high, but there are also many alien families there, and we can exchange cultivation experiences with them."
"Guangdong Province is good, but the competition is fierce. A province can only recruit five people at most. There are 76 new people in our batch. I'm afraid it won't be our turn."
Which appraisal institute these newcomers go to is selected by both parties. Not only do they choose the place, but the local appraisal institute will also screen based on the number of applicants.
"In fact, this is similar to filling out college applications. A good place is like a good university, and the competition is fierce. In fact, the best thing is to go to a place where the competition is not so fierce."
"What do you think of Gan Province?"
"Gan Province? It seems that its ranking is not very good."
"But don't you forget that there is that person in Gan Province? Have you forgotten what the teacher who trained us taught you?"
Hearing this, the seven or eight young people present showed envy on their faces. How could they forget that person's deeds? Even during the training period, they all regarded that person as an idol.
Although he is about the same age as them, he is already ranked among the top five among the many extraordinary consultants in the appraisal institute. Not only do many veteran consultants in the appraisal institute have no objection, but even the entire domestic extraordinary circle recognizes this.
"In fact, because of that person, I am willing to go to Gan Province, but I heard that he seldom comes to the appraisal institute. The number of times he has been to the appraisal institute in recent years can be counted on one hand, and I am afraid that we may not be able to see him even if we go there."
"Yes, if that person is in charge of Gan Province, I'm afraid everyone will go there. But if that person is concentrating on cultivation, there will be little point in us going to Gan Province."
While these young people were thinking about where to go, they were in the capital, at a manor under the appraisal institute.
"What, Consultant Lin from Gan Province has moved in?"
The person in charge of the manor received a call from the front desk with a look of shock on his face. How come he didn't get any news in advance that this person was coming to Beijing?
The man was about to go over to greet him in person, but the next moment he stopped in his tracks.
"Counselor Lin came to the capital, could it be because of this recruitment? Zhong Shan was too ruthless to invite this person out."
Thinking of a possibility, the man's eyes lit up, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Old Liao, your son is also one of the new consultants recruited by the appraisal institute, right? I have news to tell you. The one from Gan Province has moved into the manor. Who else could it be... It must be Consultant Lin. I guess Consultant Lin is here to recruit new people. Okay, I'll tell you the news, but don't tell anyone else... Haha, what's our relationship? Just treat me to a drink next time you come to Beijing."
After hanging up the phone, the man immediately made another call.
"Hey, Lao Chen...it's me. I have some news to tell you...We've been friends for so many years. There's no need to be so formal. Just bring me a few bottles of good wine next time you come to the capital."
"Hey, Brother Li... Yeah, there's nothing to say about our relationship... I only told you about this..."
After making six or seven calls in a row, the man stopped making any more calls.
…
…
"Yes, I'm in Beijing. Where did you hear the news?" Lin Ye was a little surprised when he received a call from Li Datou, the old driver from Quzhou. He had just arrived in Beijing and settled down, and the other party had already got the news. The source of this information was a little too well-informed.
"Okay, then come to my room."
Lin Ye hung up the phone, somewhat puzzled by the tone of Li Datou's voice just now. Li Datou seemed helpless about his arrival. What was there to be helpless about?
Even if he has some fame, Gan Province can only recruit five people at most. What's more, this matter should not be his concern, but the general person in charge of Zhejiang Province should consider it.
What Lin Ye didn't know was that because of a certain man, the atmosphere in the entire new consultant onboarding office had become extremely weird.
