I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 422 420. Heavily Guarded

Ma En held the Qi Gathering Pill under his tongue, inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy according to the cultivation methods given by the Carefree Art, and mentally prepared himself for difficult stages, intending to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in one go.

However, he didn't encounter any of the difficulties described in the books, and didn't even feel anything substantial; the spiritual energy naturally gathered in the area of his lower abdomen and formed a complex circulatory system.

Then, the spiritual energy in his body began to flow continuously within his body with specific trajectories, centered on this circulatory system, and gradually formed another circulatory system, which slowly stabilized.

Ma En exhaled heavily, and his opened eyes became a little brighter.

Although he didn't feel anything special, the Qi Refining stage in the Control Bureau's data had changed to Foundation Establishment; he didn't encounter any of the difficulties that Carefree and the books warned might appear, nor did he feel that he had crossed the so-called "bottleneck."

After all, these descriptions are the situations that ordinary people who start cultivating from scratch would encounter, and cannot reflect how an anomaly with the ability of the Golden Core peak would feel during cultivation; perhaps thanks to the ability of the Divine Body, this entire process was as natural as breathing for him, almost like a natural progression.

Standing up, Ma En glanced at the introduction of the "Foundation Establishment" characteristic. There were no problems with the Foundation Establishment stage for now, but if he continued to cultivate, he would have to see the characteristics of cultivation extracted by the Control Bureau.

However, Ma En didn't plan to continue cultivating in the short term. Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage was just for Carefree to see; after all, he wasn't lacking in individual Tier IV anomaly characteristics now, and the Golden Core stage was not worth mentioning compared to the risks.

And he never thought of relying on breaking through to the Golden Core to obtain a spiritual treasure made of anti-mind metal; helping Carefree cooperate with the Federation was an obviously better choice for him.

[Message from Tang Xueluan]

Ma En glanced at the information that Qin Lan had forwarded to him, then got up and returned to his room in reality, picked up his secret phone, and looked at the forwarded information.

"There's been progress on what you mentioned last time. I've given your idea to the Shu family. I can feel that they're particularly interested in your idea, but also a little hesitant and worried."

"So, one of their core members wants to meet you in person to confirm whether this matter is feasible. After thinking about it, I think it's okay to agree to their request. Meeting them is a good thing for us. It can completely dispel their doubts and get more resources to realize your ideas."

"What do you think?"

After reading it, Ma En immediately replied with an affirmative answer. He still had enough trust in Tang Xueluan's statement. No matter what the reason was for this young politician, she had always stood on "his" side throughout the entire process of cooperating with him.

To be precise, Tang Xueluan regarded him and her as the same interest group. Not only did she often use "we" and "they" to distinguish this small interest group from the Federation verbally, but she also did so when facing requests from Ma En and sudden difficulties.

Tang Xueluan couldn't be really simple. On the contrary, this was a sign of intelligence, because Tang Xueluan also knew very well that how she thought was not important, the key was what she would do when faced with choices.

And her performance in this cooperation was enough for Ma En to trust her in this matter.

Now that he thought about it, she was indeed one of the few partners in the Federation who was really suitable for him.

"Very good, are you available now?"

After Ma En gave another affirmative answer, she directly sent an address, and also specifically instructed Ma En not to teleport over by force using his space ability, but to stop outside and then come in.

Ma En, who received the message, didn't waste any time and directly embarked on the journey through Shadow Walker. The address Tang Xueluan gave him was also in the Eastern Federation, and it looked like just an ordinary wealthy residential area.

But when Ma En arrived around this residential area, he suddenly keenly felt something was wrong. If it were normal times, he might not have noticed it, but knowing in advance, Ma En could feel some incongruity.

When his figure appeared at the gate, a young male security guard who looked particularly professional in the small house that was more like a guard post than a security booth looked at him a few times, and then asked:

"Mr. Ma?"

Ma En nodded to the security guard.

The young man showed a polite smile, then directly opened the door:

"Please come in, do you need a map? Or do you want someone to lead the way?"

"I can find my way myself." Ma En reached out and took the map, then started walking inside.

Although the other party didn't have any flaws, Ma En still felt that this security guard was not simple either.

And as he came to the agreed place, that strange feeling became more and more obvious. The owner of this luxurious villa didn't consider concealing himself like the residential area's "property management." This building exuded a dangerous aura that kept strangers away, warning any creature that approached it not to act rashly.

There were facilities to counteract space movement and mind intrusion. Ma En could detect these two because he happened to have these two abilities, but obviously the defense measures here were definitely not only aimed at these two areas.

Moreover, before Ma En entered this residential area, he could only vaguely detect this anomaly. Normally, he would have been able to feel the problem here from a distance, which showed that this residential area actually had the effect of concealing these defense facilities. This should also be the reason why this important member of the Shu family chose to meet here.

Click.

Before Ma En could walk to the door, an elderly man in formal attire opened the door and looked at him respectfully, saying:

"Mr. Ma En, the master is already waiting for you."

Ma En suppressed the slight discomfort in his heart and walked inside under his invitation as usual.

And as he crossed the threshold, he vaguely felt the presence of several Tier IV anomaly users with space and mind abilities, and the surrounding air became a little heavier.

There were facilities inside that could suppress the anomalous abilities of outsiders, and whether it was the permanent force here or temporarily transferred for this meeting, there were many security members of the same level as him here.

Either these politicians were usually so concerned about their safety, or they were worried about him.

But before Ma En could think deeply, Tang Xueluan turned around the corridor and appeared in front of him, and there was also a middle-aged man with some wrinkles who appeared behind her.

Tang Xueluan's movements were slightly restrained, but she greeted Ma En very enthusiastically:

"Ma En! Come and meet my grandfather."
