From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 245: Lost Cultural Relics
At night, a few vultures and hyenas faced each other in the moonlight, making whimpering sounds in their throats.

Several pieces of rotten flesh had been torn to pieces so that no human shape could be seen. The rusty smell of blood stimulated these birds of prey and beasts to become even more crazy.

Suddenly, a camouflaged off-road vehicle drove into the forest. The intense light forced the birds and animals back into the darkness, where they wandered around.

The SUV stopped in front of a few rotten bodies, the door opened, and a greasy-faced fat man in a suit got out.

The fat man has golden hair, white skin and blue eyes, with similar features and eyebrows to Peter during the day.

Or maybe all the people in the United States are about the same, but compared to Peter, this man is a lot bigger, and his specially made suit can hardly cover his bulging belly and bloated limbs.

Three or four Americans in protective suits jumped out of the car and began to examine the lumps of rotten meat on the ground with various professional instruments in their hands.

The fat man in the suit looked around with interest, but when he saw the messy trees and rubble on the ground, his eyes turned cold.

"President, the identities of the three bodies have been confirmed. They belong to Carolan, Peter, and William. DNA residues of a fourth human were also found at the scene."

"Isn't there a fourth body?"

Jim, who was wearing a protective suit, hesitated for a moment and said, "President, no findings have been made yet."

The fat man in the suit's face darkened, and the temperature around them dropped suddenly. Jim was sweating profusely, lowered his head and dared not say a word.

The loss of two A-level fighters and one B-level fighter at once can be said to be unprecedented bad news since the establishment of the Alchemy Society.

And more importantly, three masters died, but the mission was obviously not completed!
"With Adul's strength, she can't kill Peter and William."

The man in the suit smiled violently, pushed aside several busy staff members, and regardless of the blood, he reached directly into the pieces of rotten flesh that had been dissected with his right hand wearing a gold watch.

After searching for a while, the fat man in the suit seemed to sense something. He pulled out his right hand suddenly, and a residual crystal blue spiritual energy was caught by him.

It's unknown how long this crystal blue spiritual energy has been around, and its power has been mostly lost, but the fat man in the suit still feels a chill on his fingertips.

The assistant next to him pushed up his glasses. It was the first time he saw the president look so serious:

"This is?"

"The power of the cultivation system of that Eastern country." The fat man in the suit waved his hand, and the crystal blue spiritual energy dissipated in the air.

Jim's face was filled with disbelief: "Eastern country? So, Adul was rescued by them?"

"President, do you need us to..."

"Idiot! No fighting is allowed in the area during the weather summit. This is the order given to us by the higher-ups."

After the man in the suit reprimanded his assistant, his face became gloomy and uncertain.
Originally, he just wanted to ambush and eliminate Adul, and let Beimo return to its previous situation. Unexpectedly, China suddenly showed up and made things much more complicated.

The involvement was too huge, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Jim raised his head and asked in a low voice: "But, are the three adults going to sacrifice themselves like this?"

"China is not afraid of the United States in terms of military strength or extraordinary power development. Without detailed intelligence, we should not conflict with them for the time being."

"However, if we don't take action, other organizations will naturally help us." The fat man in the suit smiled sinisterly: "The Southeast Asian Voodoo Cult and the Sakura Country Yatagarasu have had several conflicts with China before. I heard that several A-level masters were killed. If you give these hyenas a little benefit, they will take action..."

At this time, several pieces of body parts were packed into refrigerated boxes and carried to the car, and the fragments of William's mechanical arm were carefully collected and inspected.

The fat man in the suit was escorted onto the camouflaged off-road vehicle. As the vehicle drove away, the vultures and hyenas that were lurking in the darkness swarmed out, scrambling frantically to lick the blood and meat that had seeped into the ground...

The origins of the silk book and the sword were exactly as Li Yang had guessed.

In the hotel, a history expert who came out with the delegation was carefully examining the silk book and sword with a magnifying glass.

"Yes, both are cultural relics that have been lost from our country in the past hundred years, and neither of them is an ordinary item."

The history expert put down the magnifying glass, looked up some more information, and then began to explain the origins of the two cultural relics to Li Yang and Mr. Xie.

"The full name of this silk book is "Changsha Chu Silk Book". The four gods on the silk book should represent the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively.

This silk book is extraordinary. It is the earliest known and the only one discovered from the Warring States Period. It was stolen by a man named Ke Qiang from the United States shortly after it was discovered. It has been circulated several times since then, and the last time it appeared was in the Sackler Gallery in the United States.

"This sword has an even greater history. It is called the Great Ming Yongle Sword, also known as the Yongle Sword. It was a gift from Emperor Yongle, Zhu Di, to the Living Buddha of Tibetan Buddhism. It was previously kept in the Royal Armouries Museum in Britain. Two years ago, it was bought by an anonymous buyer from the United States. I didn't expect it to end up in the hands of this alchemy society."

After hearing the explanation, there was silence in the room.

Li Yang did not expect that on a whim he actually accidentally recovered two national treasures.

And this is not just a cultural relic. The "Changsha Chu Silk Manuscript" contains a set of sword-wielding techniques, which has been analyzed by Li Yang.

Apparently, that foreigner had not mastered the sword technique to the highest level. This sword-wielding technique was called "Four Seasons Sword Technique" and it was an extremely powerful killing technique.

The correct way to practice should be to collect the spiritual energy of the four seasons, Qingyang, Zhuming, Baizang and Xuanying, and match them with four spiritual swords. When you take action, the four seasons will rotate in an endless cycle.

Li Yang stroked the Changle Sword, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. With the foreigner's Chinese level, he certainly couldn't understand these things, so he copied and found the Changle Sword, a magical sword, and barely performed the sword control technique.

What made Li Yang unhappy was that spiritual swords like the Changle Sword and the sword-controlling technique were very rare even in China, but they were being casually destroyed by a foreigner in a foreign country.

Elder Xie also sighed with emotion: "There are so many treasures left to us by our ancestors. Unfortunately, many of them have been lost in the past century of unrest. Among these treasures, there must be many cultural relics containing secret methods of cultivation, such as the Changle Sword and the Changsha Chu Silk Book."

The adjutant at the side was sorting out the materials for Mr. Xie's meeting tomorrow, and he responded, "And with the revival of spiritual energy, it will be even more difficult to recover these things."

This is not something that a few people can handle.

After Li Yang extracted the complete "Four Seasons Swordsmanship" from the "Changsha Chu Silk Book", he handed the silk book over to Mr. Xie and the experts. This national treasure will be safely sent to China after the meeting.

As for the Yongle Sword, Li Yang put the sword into his storage ring in front of Mr. Xie. Baiyun Taoist Temple would be recruiting students and disciples soon, so Li Yang also had to replenish the warehouse of Baiyun Temple.

Mr. Xie had no objection to this, as it was originally taken back by Li Yang, and the entire delegation also acquiesced to Li Yang's behavior.

Later, when Li Yang casually mentioned that he had killed two innates of the Alchemy Society and saved Adul of Beimo, the entire delegation gasped.

He is very tough, really tough, and you can't afford to mess with him.

How many Xiantians are there in the whole of China now? Li Yang easily took down two of them for the United States. Moreover, the ambush of Adul by these two Xiantian masters was obviously a shady action in the international community. Even if they died, the United States could only swallow their anger.

"The United States divides extraordinary masters into four levels: S, A, B, and C, which correspond to our country's seed, innate, awakening spirit, and guiding qi. According to your description, these two innate ones should be Peter and William of the A level, and the other black person is Carolan of the B level."

Li Yang was surprised and asked, "S-level? Has a master of seed cultivation appeared in the United States?"

"I'm not sure, but the Alchemy Association announced that President Lederman is S-rank. We don't know how much of this is true, because for example, our country's unique skills such as flying off the ground have not been seen in public records."

Having said that, Li Yang still felt a little more cautious. There is no smoke without fire. Since this Lederman was rumored to be S-level, there must be some tricks behind it.

Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, several officials came in with documents in their hands and wanted to report their work to Mr. Xie.

Although all the delegations knew what was going to happen at this summit, they still had to do the superficial work in front of the media.

Li Yang bid farewell to Mr. Xie and returned to his hotel room alone.

The system panel slowly unfolded like an ink landscape painting. Without looking at the progress bar below, Li Yang's eyes were fixed on the progress of the two articles on the Qi-eating method.

【旸乌食炁法：2阶（39160/5万），解锁状态：五雷术（1/5），木霆法身】

【玉蟾食炁法：2阶（38795/5万），解锁状态：御剑术（5/9）】

Perhaps because he was close to a breakthrough, Li Yang's mind had been in a trance these past few days.

Without experience and reference from predecessors, Li Yang didn't know if this was a normal reaction before breaking through.

According to Li Yang's notes, the open balcony of his hotel room faces the moonlight.

Li Yang suppressed his thoughts and sat cross-legged on the bed. The moonlight outside the window, invisible to ordinary people, was rushing towards him like rivers, lakes and seas...

When Adul woke up again, everything was dark before his eyes.

All the negative conditions of the body have disappeared, but the body is still a little groggy because of sleeping for too long.

I stretched out my fingers and felt that the place my hands touched was wet, cold and slippery. It was a rugged stone wall covered with moss.

Following the light in one direction, Adul stroked her way forward, and the hot sunlight made her pupils shrink.

When I finally got used to the light,
Looking back, the place where she had just come out was a hidden small cave.

This should be the top of a small mountain. Stop and look, and in the distance, a city filled with churches and tall buildings comes into view.

The physical discomfort has completely disappeared, the wounds on the wheat-colored skin have scabbed over, and even the toxins that were accidentally ingested earlier have been completely eliminated.

"China? Monks?"

She tried hard to recall the appearance of the Chinese monk. She had never heard of such a powerful master in the Middle East.

Adul had a hunch that even the Alchemist's Fatty Lederman, who was rumored to be extremely powerful, was no match for this mysterious Chinese monk.

"Fortunately, such a master appeared in China..."

Adul smiled miserably. He had been the king of the Northern Desert for so long, but he didn't expect that he would be looked up to by the mountains and suffer continuous blows as soon as he left the Northern Desert.

After simply identifying the direction, Adul headed towards the Vatican at a rapid pace.
