A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

"That's true, then I'll trouble the captain to think of some solutions." Lin Yang suppressed his anxiety.

Although he really wanted to immediately go into seclusion for 20,000 to 30,000 years to raise his cultivation to the late stage of the Dao Fire Realm.

But Li Rui is also right. During missions, it is indeed impossible to explain to superiors if one frequently goes into seclusion and does not participate in missions.

This matter cannot be rushed.

Li Rui smiled and glanced at him: "Don't worry, I'll keep this in mind. Let me think about it and then I'll let you know when I have news."

"Thank you so much, Captain." Lin Yang expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Captain Li Rui took good care of him and the entire team.

"Let's continue the mission." Li Rui waved his hand.

The mission is actually quite boring; it involves continuous patrolling of the Blazing City area and responding to or supporting emergencies.

That day, Lin Yang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"It's him."

Mu Sheng of the Rainbow Cloud Sect!

The real mastermind behind the ambush they carried out outside Whitefire City back then.

At this time, Mu Sheng was accompanied by several other disciples of the Hongwei Sect, who were obviously there on business in Baichi City.

Mu Sheng's senses were also very sharp. Although Lin Yang only stared at him for a moment, he still managed to sense it.

He immediately turned to look at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang quickly looked away and continued his patrol with his team members.

A hint of coldness flashed deep in Mu Sheng's eyes.

He felt that Lin Yang was incredibly lucky to be alive.

They were able to escape capture by the Tiankun Sect time and time again.

Moreover, Lin Yang's cultivation level also surprised him.

When they intercepted him, Lin Yang was only at the first level of the Dao Realm when he first arrived in the Primordial Ancient Continent.

At that time, he had already reached the eighth or ninth level of cultivation.

Now, although he has already ignited the Dao Fire and reached the Dao Fire Realm, he has only just reached the mid-stage of the Dao Fire Realm.

However, although Lin Yang did not reveal any aura at the moment, the feeling he gave him made him think that Lin Yang was about the middle stage of the Dao Fire Realm.

This discovery shocked Musheng.

What kind of speed increase is this?

"This kid's cultivation speed is too fast. Back when he was only one level above the Dao Realm, he could injure me. He even killed Lan Zhi when he reached the Dao Fire Realm. Now, if we were at the same level, I'm afraid I would be far from being his match."

Mu Sheng's eyes held a complex expression.

He felt that if things continued like this, Lin Yang might become a major threat.

Although Lin Yang didn't show that he recognized him, he still felt uneasy.

"No, we can't let this kid continue to grow. We have to find a way to get rid of him." Mu Sheng felt a murderous intent rising in his heart.

In fact, he had long wanted to get rid of Lin Yang to avoid future troubles.

So last time, they used the tactic of using someone else to do the dirty work, but who would have thought that Tiankun Sect was so useless that they couldn't take down Lin Yang.

Seeing Lin Yang again this time intensified his sense of crisis.

With this thought in mind, he lost all interest in continuing his work and immediately contacted Jian Mo:
"Senior Brother Jian Mo, I just saw Lin Yang in Bai Chi City."

"He is now at the mid-stage of the Dao Fire Realm; his rate of improvement is too fast."

"At this rate, it's probably only a matter of time before he reaches the Nirvana Realm."

"If he reaches the Nirvana Realm, with his terrifying combat power, if he turns around and comes looking for trouble, we're probably doomed."

He poured out all his thoughts and worries.

Jian Mo remained silent for a long while before replying, "Then what do you want?"

"I think we need to find a way to get rid of this kid. I'm always uneasy as long as he's alive."

Mu Sheng said, then couldn't help but curse:
"Tiankun Sect is really useless. After all these years, they can't even defeat a guy in the Dao Fire Realm."

Jian Mo snorted: "Easier said than done. He is now a member of the government army. It's not that easy to deal with him. If we act rashly without a suitable opportunity, we will only put ourselves in danger."

"So, what do you mean, senior brother?" Mu Sheng asked.

"Let's wait and see what happens next, and see what the Tiankun Sect does next."

Jian Mo said in a deep voice:

“That old bastard Pan Yuan got thwarted last time, and given his personality, he definitely won’t let it go.”

"He will definitely find another opportunity to make a move against Lin Yang."

"Let's observe further. If a suitable opportunity arises, we can secretly assist the Tiankun Sect, but we must prioritize not exposing ourselves."

Mu Sheng frowned deeply: "Alright then, let's leave it at that for now."

"Hehe, don't pay too much attention to Lin Yang. Maybe he hasn't even discovered the secret of the ambush outside the city back then. Don't make things worse and let him discover some clues instead," Jian Mo advised.

"I understand," Mu Sheng replied.

“Well, I’ll go and report to the elders. It’s said that when Pan Yuan made his move last time, he was secretly assisted by a Nirvana Realm expert. If we can plan well, it would be even better if we could cause one of the elders of the Tiankun Sect to be lost.” Jian Mo said quietly.

Mu Sheng was startled: "Senior Brother Jian Mo, you mean..."

"The Moon Shadow Sect is now half-dead, leaving only us and the Heavenly Kun Sect. Sooner or later, we will fight each other, so we must make plans early. Our Rainbow Micro Sect has kept a low profile for so many years, it's time for us to compete for a higher position."

Simplicity emphasizes:
"So, don't hang around Lin Yang anymore, and don't give anything away."

Mu Sheng felt a chill run down his spine and repeatedly agreed.

……

time flies.

That day, Lin Yang was on patrol when Li Rui suddenly came to his side and said:
"Lin Yang, you said before that you wanted to go into seclusion for a while, right?"

Lin Yang was overjoyed: "Captain, is there a way?"

Li Rui sighed: "No, what I wanted to tell you is that although this mission is easy, accidents can happen at any time, so we must carry it out without interruption, and there are people above us watching us."

"So, unfortunately, you can't go into seclusion. Otherwise, if it's discovered, not only will our entire team be punished, but you'll also be expelled from the team."

Lin Yang was taken aback.

He had thought Li Rui had come to him with a solution, but it turned out to be like this.

Li Rui continued, "Don't blame me. I did try many methods and pulled a lot of strings, but they all said it was best not to do it."

"Letting you go into seclusion while the others do the work, although I believe the rest of the team won't have any objections, will ultimately have a negative impact."

Lin Yang understood and said, "Thank you very much, Captain. I'm sorry to have troubled you. I won't go into seclusion then."

Li Rui nodded and said nothing more.

Lin Yang sighed inwardly.

This mission may seem easy, but to be honest, it's not as good as guarding the reception point.

They stayed at the guidance point because the guidance point was only so big, so they could cultivate in peace.

However, this kind of patrol mission needs to be carried out at all times, leaving no time for cultivation.

"Although joining the government army is good in many ways, and the treatment is very good, even generous, the only problem is the amount of time available for training."

Lin Yang began to ponder.

Although the government troops have a leave period after each mission, the leave period is too short to support a long period of seclusion.

Of course, one can also accumulate vacation time or exchange the contributions earned during missions for time in seclusion, but he has only been in the government army for a short time and cannot exchange for a long period of time for now.

"Forget it, one can't have it all. I can't accept the benefits from the government army and also want the freedom to cultivate in seclusion."

Lin Yang didn't think much of it.

Although he wanted to break through to the next level as soon as possible, since reality didn't allow it, he would have to wait. While he couldn't concentrate on long-term seclusion during missions, there were also shifts where he could cultivate for short periods.

It's not that there's absolutely no time for cultivation.

It's just that their efficiency and focus are a bit lacking.

"Lin Yang, look, it's another disciple of the Tiankun Sect."

Cheng Fu suddenly leaned over and whispered, pointing in a direction.

Lin Yang glanced over, but only once, without paying much attention.

This wasn't the first time I'd seen people from the Tiankun Sect during my time on missions within the city.

Because of the current treasure hunting craze, all kinds of commercial activities in Baichi City are booming.

As a major sect in the Baichi City region, Tiankun Sect would naturally take the opportunity to make as much money as possible.

Therefore, the disciples frequently entered and exited Baichi City.

At the very beginning, the people from Tiankun Sect would deliberately come over to confront them.

But after seeing it so many times, it just didn't seem like much.

Since neither side could do anything to the other, and the Tiankun Sect didn't want to bear the reputation of obstructing the government army's law enforcement, Lin Yang was no longer surprised to see disciples of the Tiankun Sect.

Moreover, the disciples of the Rainbow Cloud Sect also frequently entered and exited the White Blaze City. However, after he first saw Mu Sheng, he never saw that guy among the disciples of the Rainbow Cloud Sect again.

“The Rainbow Micro Sect has always maintained a low profile and neutrality, but its inner workings are quite different.”

Lin Yang had also been keeping an eye on the situation of the Rainbow Sect.

In fact, compared to the flamboyant style of the Tiankun Sect, he was more wary of the truly despicable people like the Hongwei Sect.

However, he hasn't obtained any substantial evidence yet, so he can only continue to monitor the situation.

The treasure hunt craze is indeed very hot.

As time went by, the number of people coming to Baichi City did not decrease, but rather increased.

Even now, there's a faint sense of overcrowding in the city of Baichi.

Outside the city, people could be seen moving around almost everywhere.

However, what is strange or even bizarre is that despite so many people searching for the treasure day and night, they have never found a single trace of the legendary treasure.

It's as if they don't exist at all.

Ironically, this only intensified people's desire and fervor for that so-called treasure.

The more difficult it is to discover, the more extraordinary the treasure must be.

Driven by this idea, people became increasingly frenzied.

"Doesn't anyone suspect that there are no treasures near Whitefire City?"

Lin Yang and Cheng Fu chatted casually.

Over the years, he, or rather his entire squad and other government troops, had taken advantage of the opportunity to search for so-called treasures while carrying out missions.

But without exception, they all came up empty-handed.

Lin Yang didn't believe that the treasure could have escaped the search of so many people.

In particular, quite a few experts from the Nirvana Realm have come.

As for even stronger beings, Lin Yang guessed that such beings must have come before, but they just couldn't detect them.

A massive search by a large number of people, and even powerful individuals secretly investigating.

No clues were found.

This is not normal at all!

Cheng Fu smacked his lips and said, "Perhaps some people had doubts at first, but the people of the Ancient Night Clan all came infiltrating in search of treasure, and there were also rumors from major sects that there was indeed treasure in Bai Chi City, so there was no reason to doubt it."

"This situation is insane; the land around Baichi City is being turned upside down," Lin Yang exclaimed.

He wasn't exaggerating at all when he said that.

Apart from the city of Baichi, which is still relatively intact, some surrounding areas outside the city have been thoroughly excavated.

It can be said that every inch of the surrounding land has been turned over.

This is outrageous.

To be clear, there is absolutely no information whatsoever about that possible treasure!
There wasn't a single rumor about whether it was a magical artifact, a spiritual object, a elixir, or the legacy of some ancient powerful being.

This is not normal at all.

It's impossible that after so long, there hasn't been a single rumor.

Even when there was nothing there, everyone still believed it without a doubt.

This is really weird.

"Who cares about all that? Whether there's treasure or not is none of our business. We'll just focus on carrying out the mission from above."

Cheng Fu didn't care about these things and advised Lin Yang not to pay too much attention to them.

Lin Yang admitted that Cheng Fu was right, but he still felt something was off.

So, during a break in his shift, he communicated with the system he hadn't spoken to in a long time.

"System, can you scan the situation in Whitefire City? See if there are any treasures there."

Lin Yang hadn't spoken to the system in a long time.

The main reason was that after arriving in the Primordial Ancient Continent, the system was not as active as before and often went into hibernation. He also didn't encounter any situations where he had to ask the system for help, so he gradually reduced communication with it.

Now, however, we have no choice but to try and utilize the power of the system.

“Host, conducting extensive deep scanning in advanced areas is extremely costly and carries certain risks. Your current National Treasure Points are insufficient to cover the cost of such operations.”

The system's reply left Lin Yang speechless.

The national treasures accumulated over the years are actually quite valuable, but they are not enough for a single scan.

"What about a simple scan? Or is there any way to find that so-called treasure?" Lin Yang asked again.

“Host, a simple scan is unnecessary. If there is a treasure, a simple scan will not be able to find it, and it is a pure waste of national treasure points.”

System reply:

"This system also has no way to discover deeply hidden high-level treasures without scanning."

"Alright." Lin Yang sighed helplessly, then asked, "Are there any tasks that can be posted so I can earn more National Treasure Points?"

Since arriving on the Primordial Ancient Continent, the system has not issued any missions.

Sometimes he almost forgot the system existed.

"Sorry, host, there are no relevant tasks available to issue at the moment."

"Alright, then that's fine." Lin Yang remained silent.

He immediately prepared to cultivate.

suddenly.

"Everyone assemble immediately, there is an emergency that needs to be dealt with."

Li Rui's voice came through.

"Captain, what happened?"

The team assembled in no time.

Li Rui's expression was solemn: "An ancient ruin has been discovered in the mountains north of Baichi City. It may contain great treasures. Fighting has already broken out, and a squad of the city's army is handling it. We need to rush over there to provide support."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

"They actually found a treasure?"

Lin Yang was also somewhat surprised. (End of Chapter)
