Chapter 192: I’m Coming Clean, I’m an Immortal Cultivator
“Inspector Lu, do you believe that there is immortal cultivation in this world?”
Qin Chuan’s sudden question stunned Lu Dewei.
Immortal cultivation?
If he were to follow his heart, he naturally hoped that there was cultivation in this world.
However, cultivation was just something that the ancient people had come up with in their spare time. It simply did not exist.
Although he had a dream of cultivating since he was young, he should be more mature as an adult.
Furthermore, with his current status, the head of the supervisory department, he definitely could not have such thoughts.
One had to know that the government’s greatest taboo was to believe in all kinds of things. Everything should follow science.
Once someone begins to spread such a thought, the most serious punishment is a death sentence.
Lu Dewei remembered that he had secretly practiced using the cultivation books he bought when he was young.
If discovered, he would be reprimanded.
Fortunately, he had repented quickly. Otherwise, he would probably be in a mental hospital right now!
But, would a person like Guest Elder Qin also believe in cultivation?
On second thought, it seemed possible.
After all, Guest Elder Qin is already at the top of the pyramid. If he wanted to break through, he could only do so by cultivating.
But, does cultivation… really exist?
After thinking about it, Lu Dewei slowly said, “Guest Elder Qin, if I follow my heart, I naturally hope that there is cultivation in this world.
“However, cultivation has long since been proven to be non-existent.
“Therefore… no matter how much I believe it, there will never be cultivation in this world.”
Qin Chuan wore a small smile and said, “I can tell that you actually still believe in cultivation!”
Lu Dewei did not deny this. He had already made the other party unhappy by not being truthful earlier. If he did that again, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thus, Lu Dewei had no choice but to answer honestly. “Indeed. To be honest, I’ve had a dream of cultivation since I was young. Is it very childish?”
Qin Chuan shook his head, “No.”
“Guest Elder Qin, do you believe that there are cultivators in the world?”
“I do!” Qin Chuan replied resolutely, his eyes filled with determination.
Lu Dewei stared at Qin Chuan in astonishment. He thought to himself that Qin Chuan must be possessed.
“Inspector Lu, can I ask you a question?” Qin Chuan asked.
“Go ahead!”
“If cultivation really exists in this world, what would the government’s attitude towards them be? Would it be like how they’re dealing with the martial arts, or would they acknowledge the existence of cultivation?” Qin Chuan asked seriously.
Lu Dewei rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment before replying, “If in the current situation, then we’ll naturally acquiesce to the existence of cultivators.
“If immortal cultivators were to intervene, the chances of surviving the calamity in the future would be very high.”
“What if there is no calamity?” Qin Chuan asked.
“If there isn’t, then it depends on how far cultivation has progressed.
“If it is just in the beginning stages, the government officials would naturally intervene and maintain everything within a controllable range.
“If it has already begun to take shape, there would be no other way.
“After all, in a fight, the ones to suffer the most are still the innocent people.
“Since we can’t beat them, we’ll join them, “Lu Dewei analyzed.
With this, Qin Chuan got a rough idea.
Qin Chuan thought to himself, Lu Dewei holds an important position in the government, so his words do carry some weight.
Since he has said so, the others probably share the same thoughts as well.
Since that is the case…
Qin Chuan suddenly had a bold idea.
“Inspector Lu, I’m coming clean. I’m an immortal cultivator.”
Qin Chuan’s tone was relaxed, but his expression was extremely serious.
Lu Dewei was astonished.
“Guest Elder Qin, should I take your words as a joke?” Lu Dewei smiled bitterly.
But for some reason, his heart was racing, and his hair stood up. He felt that something was about to happen.
Qin Chuan chuckled as he opened the system interface and tapped on the sect.
In an instant, the room suddenly became blurry.
After a burst of dazzling light, Qin Chuan and Lu Dewei arrived at the entrance of the sect.
Lu Dewei was stunned by the sight before him.
“This… this…” Lu Dewei wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.
Roar——
Ouch——
The sounds of golden dragons and fire phoenixes came from above.
Lu Dewei stared dazedly at the sky.
This expression was exactly the same as those elderly when they first came here.
“Are those the legendary dragons and phoenixes?” Lu Dewei felt his throat go dry, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
At this moment, Qin Chuan patted Lu Dewei on the shoulder and laughed, “Inspector Lu, do you believe that cultivation exists now?”
“This…” Lu Dewei was still in shock and couldn’t give an answer.
After he calmed down, Lu Dewei looked around and was once again astonished by the scene inside the sect.
He was very sure that what he saw was not a dream, nor was it an illusion. What he saw was all real.
At this moment, he was suddenly enlightened.
In the world of martial arts, how could a Land Immortal that had long gone extinct appear again? It turned out that he was an immortal cultivator.
It made sense. Only immortal cultivators could soar into the sky and burrow into the ground. They were omnipotent.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly flew past over their heads.
They were the cultivators from the Combat specialization.
They were practicing Sword Kinesis Flight.
Lu Dewei was shocked again.
He knew what those people were doing.
Sword Kinesis Flight was the main reason why he had grown fond of cultivation.
Anyone who had watched Xianxia dramas all dreamed of being able to fly on a sword. That kind of cool and unrestrained manner was indescribably satisfying.
Right at this moment, Combat students in the sky saw Qin Chuan.
Therefore, they immediately controlled their flying swords to descend.
“Sect Master!” After arriving on the ground, they all bowed.
“Sect… Sect Master?” Lu Dewei turned his head to look at Qin Chuan, his face filled with disbelief.
Qin Chuan smiled but didn’t say anything.
He swept his gaze over the people in front of him and said, “I took a look just now. Your sword controlling skills are still not proficient. You still have to cultivate harder.”
“Yes! We understand!”
Then, these Combat students immediately took action. They controlled their flying swords and flew away.
Witnessing all of this with his own eyes, Lu Dewei was overwhelmed. He was simply amazed.
Cultivation indeed exists in this world, haha…
The cultivation dream that I had always fantasized about can now come true.
At this moment, Lu Dewei was extremely excited.
After reading countless cultivation novels, he knew what to do.
Lu Dewei had completely forgotten his identity. There was nothing more important than realizing his dream of cultivation.
Hence, he immediately turned around and bowed to Qin Chuan. “Guest El… no, Immortal Master Qin, I wish to cultivate. Can you lead me to the path of cultivation?”
Qin Chuan sized him up and replied, “I naturally can.
“But you are from the government. What if you have other motives?”
Lu Dewei had read countless cultivation novels before, so he immediately replied, “Immortal Master Qin, you can place a restriction on my body. If I have other motives, you can punish me however you like.”
Qin Chuan nodded, “You know quite a lot.”
Lu Dewei replied, “I learned everything from the books.”
“Since you love cultivation so much, I’ll accept you.”
After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he wrote down Lu Dewei’s name on the cultivation register.
In that instant, all sorts of experiences that Lu Dewei had gone through flashed through his mind, and he had a certain understanding of his character.
“It seems like my judgement is pretty good.” Qin Chuan silently mused.
Before he chose to reveal everything to Lu Dewei, Qin Chuan had thought it through. If Lu Dewei had any ulterior motives, he could just erase this memory with a spell.
However, he had made the right choice.
Now that this government official was participating in cultivation, his great undertaking of cultivation had taken another huge step forward.
