I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

"Didn't they say there were merit points and a selectable treasure?"

As soon as Chu Yang finished speaking, a hint of disdain and disgust flashed across Qian Shunkai's face, but he still smiled and explained:

"Someone will create an account for you and award you points. Then you can choose the corresponding tier of prizes in the system."

Before long, the Dragon Shadow Guard, who was in charge of this matter, helped Chu Yang set up an account and helped him collect three thousand merit points.

"Sir, you can log in to the system on your mobile phone, choose the prizes you can redeem, and check the tasks assigned to you by headquarters at any time. You can also accept some bounty missions here."

Chu Yang quickly opened his system and clicked on the prize redemption option that popped up on the page.

The items in the national treasure trove are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

Each grade is further divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower.

He now has one chance to exchange for a high-grade Xuan-level item.

He quickly browsed the page and did find some good stuff, but it wasn't of much use to him.

His eyes lit up after he typed "Soul Gathering Flower" into the search bar.

As expected of a national treasure trove, it even has something like this, but it's only of the lowest grade of Heaven level, so he's not qualified to exchange for it.

"My lord, I'd like to speak with you for a few minutes. May I speak to you privately?"

Chu Yang looked up at Wei Daosheng, who was speaking.

Xiao Zhantian had just introduced Wei Daosheng's identity, and Chu Yang was smiling broadly at that moment.

"What a coincidence, I also have something I'd like to talk to you about."

Xiao Zhantian sensed that Chu Yang's smile was malicious, and quickly warned him, "Don't go too far, kid."

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I'll try my best."

The two got into the car.

Wei Daosheng sighed deeply: "You and your father are truly cut from the same cloth. I just wonder if your personalities are the same too."

Chu Yang shrugged: "If I were my father, those powerful families in the capital back then wouldn't have just lost a few people."

Wei Daosheng's eyes froze for a moment, then turned to annoyance.

"I shouldn't have sent you to Longyuan back then!"

Chu Yang was immediately taken aback.

"You're the one who sent me to Longyuan? Then... the old man teaching me martial arts, that's also..."

"That's right!"

Wei Daosheng nodded slightly and said, "If you had gone to a regular prison, the grass on your grave would have grown into trees by now."

Chu Yang immediately rolled his eyes: "I was tortured by that old man in Longyuan, I'd rather be dead."

Over the years, he has endured countless hardships just to cleanse his marrow and refine his bones.

Not to mention that at the beginning, he was an underage martial arts novice who had to deal with being ganged up on by vicious and desperate thugs every day.

That was a real fight; they didn't hold back at all.

He has broken countless bones throughout his body, and his body is covered in countless scars, with almost no patch of intact skin.

He has more than a dozen scars on his face, making it impossible to recognize his original appearance. He once scared a prison guard dog to death in the middle of the night.

It was only after he learned medical skills from the old man that he got himself a scar removal treatment.

Wei Daosheng glanced at Chu Yang and said indifferently, "What, you seem to be complaining? If you hadn't suffered so much, you wouldn't have become the 'King Yama' you are today."

Chu Yang sighed heavily: "That's right! Hey? Where did the old man go? He left me here without a word."

Wei Daosheng hesitated for a moment. "Everyone has something to strive for in their life, and he is no exception. With great power comes great responsibility, and he carries a heavy burden. You should grow up quickly; perhaps you can help him in the future."

Chu Yang sensed a hint of bitterness and hardship in Wei Daosheng's words.

Looking back on the years he spent with the old man, Chu Yang felt somewhat saddened.

Throughout his life, it seems that everyone who was good to him left him one by one.

Even when the old man left, he didn't say goodbye.

Although he never said it, no one likes being alone.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

Wei Daosheng smiled and patted his shoulder: "When he left, he didn't know how to tell you, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it, so he left without saying goodbye. Don't worry, he said that if you are in danger, he will come to you immediately, no matter where you are."

Chu Yang, like a sulking child, sniffed hard: "Tch! I'm so free without him around. I'm not talking about him anymore! You Dragon Shadow people made things difficult for me this time, you have to compensate me."

Wei Daosheng seemed to laugh in anger.

"You're quite the schemer! First of all, I'm not one of Dragon Shadow's men. Secondly, no one has ever asked Dragon Shadow for compensation."

Chu Yang shrugged. "I don't care! If you want me to work properly in the future, you need to give me an explanation now."

Wei Daosheng smiled and nodded: "Okay, let me hear what kind of compensation you want?"

Chu Yang quickly found the "Soul Gathering Flower" in the system.

Wei Daosheng laughed. "I'll give you one word—wishful thinking!"

Chu Yang: "No, I really am useful. My wife's soul was damaged before, and if it goes on for too long, her personality will really split. To be honest, it's my fault for meddling in other people's business. If I hadn't insisted on saving an old man who suddenly fell ill, I could have arrived in time..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, and he stared wide-eyed at Wei Daosheng.

Wei Daosheng felt a little guilty under their gaze and coughed twice tactically.

"Ahem... Well, I just happened to be passing by when a kind person saved me. Oh, it was you! Hehe, what a coincidence!"

He awkwardly turned his face away.

Chu Yang grabbed his arm: "Old man! Don't play dumb with me! This is all your fault. You have to get me the Soul-Gathering Flower, no matter what!"

Wei Daosheng said with a bitter face, "You can't force me. The things in the national treasury are non-negotiable. Even the central government has no right to take them out and give them away casually."

Chu Yang was so angry he was panting heavily. "If it weren't for saving you, my wife wouldn't be suffering from a split personality right now! We'd be all lovey-dovey by now! It's all your fault! You better figure something out!"

He's now determined—to hold on tight and not give up!

An old man is cunning, an old horse is slippery, and an old rabbit is hard for an eagle to catch.

Wei Daosheng has lived to such an old age and held such a high position; his mind is certainly not something to be taken lightly.

He tapped his temples, muttering, "Soul-Gathering Flower... hiss... let me think of something."

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, as if he remembered something. He quickly took out his phone, opened a picture, put on his reading glasses, and began to look at it very carefully.

Chu Yang leaned closer and saw that it was a handwritten list. The handwriting was very messy, indicating that it was written in a great hurry, and there seemed to be bloodstains on the list.

"Aren't many of the items on this list national treasures?"

He remembered that many of the items here were from those treasure catalogs that the old man had forced him to memorize.

Wei Daosheng's expression grew increasingly solemn.

"This is a partial cargo manifest of a Japanese official cruise ship. The person who copied this manifest was one of the Secret Service's best agents, and he's probably... dead by now."
