From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Is it really possible to find it?"

"No matter what, as long as you participate, pass the test, and join the team, even if you fail, you can still leave behind a legend!"

"I'm signing up!"

"..."

Immediately, many people signed up, but a large number felt they lacked the ability and left the square.

If they were only exploring other ancient sites in the Sahara Desert, they might be willing to take the plunge, but Atlantis! The legendary kingdom that sank into the Atlantic Ocean! Most of them, living in a desert environment, are not skilled in naval warfare, let alone the possibility of diving into the ocean during the exploration process!

That's practically suicide!

"Sure enough! The ancient city that the robin was looking for is Atlantis!" Evelyn gave Jiang Liu a smug look.

"You're so smart, sister."

Seeing her expectant look, Jiang Liu shrugged and could only grant her wish.

After all, Evelyn was his teacher.

"She signed up."

Seeing the white-haired girl join the line of applicants, Lu Jin asked Jiang Liu, "Shall we go over too?"

"Ladies first."

Jiang Liu gave a gentlemanly bow.

Evelyn nodded in satisfaction and took the lead, followed closely by Duanmu Ying, then Lu Jin, while Jiang Liu steadily protected the three of them in front of him, walking at the very back.

An hour later, registration was completed. There were 123 people who signed up to participate in the Atlantis exploration activity, not including the robin, the five-man bodyguard team, and other armed personnel.

Among the 123, there are cultivators, retired soldiers, and adventurers who participate in exploration missions year after year, making it a gathering of talents.

"To all those who have signed up, I warn you again: the tests to come will be life-threatening. I'll give you another half hour. If you give up, just leave the team." The robin's words were devoid of any emotion, as cold and indifferent as a machine.

The audience remained silent.

Five minutes later, someone couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere and broke down emotionally, choosing to leave the team and leave the field.

These people signed up with a sense of侥幸心理 (a gambler's mentality), and it's perfectly normal for their initial tension to turn into panic after learning that death could occur during the subsequent tests.

Once there is one, there will be two, three, and four.

In just ten minutes, only 101 people remained out of the original 123.

At the fifteen-minute mark, the robin suddenly spoke, shouting, "Congratulations! You have enough courage! Each of you will receive ten thousand pounds!"

£10,000 per person!

One hundred and one people equals one hundred and one pounds!

Robins just gave away a million pounds so easily!

In an instant, the remaining 101 ordinary people were in an uproar, while those who had withdrawn 15 minutes earlier but were still watching from the sidelines beat their chests and stamped their feet, filled with envy and jealousy towards the remaining people on the field.

After everyone received a cheque for ten thousand pounds, the robin continued, "Fifteen minutes left. Anyone who wants to leave can go. I won't take back the cheque."

"Mr. Lex, what kind of reward will I receive if I pass the formal induction test and become a member of the team that is truly exploring Atlantis?" someone asked loudly.

"If you pass the test, you will be rewarded with a million pounds, while if you fail... we will be responsible for disposing of the body."

The robin's words were so cold that they sent a shiver down the spines of the questioner and most of the ordinary people present: "If we find Atlantis and everyone comes back alive, I am willing to share all its treasures with you!"

I get 60%, and you all get the remaining 40%!

If you are unable to convert your wealth into cash, I can manage it for you and regularly deposit funds into your account!

# Chapter 695 Hearing about Western Conspiracy Theories

A million pounds reward for passing the team entry test!

Successfully find Atlantis, return alive, and share the wealth of the entire lost kingdom with Robin 64!

In an instant!

The greed of most people present was aroused, including some of the extraordinary individuals.

The pursuit of extraordinary people is not money, but as long as they are still human and need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, they cannot live without money!

Western spiritual practitioners are the same!

A large number of alchemists and magicians without powerful backers or family businesses choose to serve the wealthy, or work as mercenaries or security guards. This allows them to earn enough money to support themselves and their cultivation, without wasting their skills. Those who survive the battles are all quite strong and extremely skilled at killing.

But are robins really that kind?

Jiang Liu didn't believe that a wealthy man would give away money for nothing. In fact, if you really took it seriously, this "job fair" looked like child's play.

It's not legitimate!

Even less rigorous!

The exploration of Atlantis may be true, but the robin must have had another purpose in doing so...

···

Another fifteen minutes passed.

But no one left.

The reward of a million pounds is so great that even Duanmu Ying, an extraordinary individual, couldn't help but be tempted by the prospect of winning.

After all, this guy was extremely poor; more than 80% of his expenses for food, clothing, and daily necessities over the past year came from Jiang Liu's financial assistance.

"Good! Very good! Now that you've chosen to stay, there's no going back!" The robin's lips curled into a playful smile. "Get in the car!"

As he finished speaking, five military vehicles drove in from outside the square, and 101 people lined up to board the vehicles under the arrangement of the five bodyguards.

Afterwards, the open curtain at the rear of the vehicle was closed, leaving the interior pitch black—the mystery of the testing grounds made many ordinary veterans and explorers on board somewhat nervous.

But once they got on the bus, it meant they were ready to risk their lives!

As the robin said:

There's no going back!

Inside the pitch-black carriage, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and a burst of light appeared, dispelling the darkness and attracting the attention of the others.

Upon seeing the flame floating in his palm, ordinary people exclaimed "magic" or "witchcraft," while alchemists and magicians paid no attention.

"Friends, I have a bad feeling about the formal team entry test that's coming up. How about we get to know each other first?"

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he first introduced himself in English, and then in Arabic, "My name is Jiang Liu, I come from China. We do not refine gold, but refine Qi. This flame is constructed from the Qi of the Heart Monkey."

Most of the people present were strangers and remained silent, but Jiang Liu's words seemed to have some kind of magic, making their minds more active.

Lu Jin followed closely behind and said, "My name is Lu Jin. I am from the same hometown as Brother Jiang. I am extremely skilled in close combat."

Duanmu Ying also revealed her name and then talked about her abilities: "I am a doctor. I can set bones and treat some less serious diseases without the aid of drugs."

The three of them only revealed the tip of the iceberg of their abilities.

Better safe than sorry!

Finally, Evelyn said, "Hello, I'm Evelyn, a researcher of ancient Egyptian history. I have a great interest in the origins of ancient Egyptian civilization and the legendary Atlantis. However, the reason I brought these three students with me this time is—"

Her gaze fell on the white-haired girl.

The latter was startled, but remained calm and introduced himself: "My name is Jesse. I have excellent physical abilities and am skilled in close combat."

[Jesse?]

Duanmu Ying transmitted her voice through the light spot, saying, "Didn't Isaac Taber tell you that the man with the naturally silver hair was named Seward McDougall? Oh my goodness, are all Western names so difficult to pronounce?"

Ignoring the latter sarcastic remark, Jiang Liu replied: "[Taber only mentioned one possibility; it's not necessarily that the Silver Banshee stole the Death Bracelet—]"

But I could sense her emotions. She seemed slightly flustered the moment Evelyn looked over, though it was fleeting, it didn't escape my notice.

Furthermore, based on my understanding of alchemy, she did indeed possess a skill similar to transformation, and the alchemical array patterns she constructed within her body were similar to those in "The Forbidden Fruit of God." She even used this as a basis to construct a storage space containing three jade-like objects.

There is a possibility that it is a remnant left behind by ancestors who studied the sacred tree.

And Jesse...

It should be a pseudonym.

The implied meaning.

Jesse is very likely Siobhan McDougall! Since the McDougall family members live to be around two hundred years old, this white-haired girl might actually be thirty!

[You created a storage space using your own alchemical runes? Then why not put the Death God Bracelet in there too?]

Duanmu Ying was puzzled.

Those three jade tablets are somewhat special, seemingly representing the pinnacle of alchemical creation, even involving atomic-level fixation. Once created, they are no longer bound by the laws of ionization, yet they can resonate with each other... Placing other things alongside them might cause some unknown changes.

Jiang Liu offered an explanation: "If I had to give a second explanation, it would be that she hasn't balanced the Yin and Yang within her body. She can store materials with both earth and water attributes, but she can't store metals, otherwise there's a chance it would conflict with her cultivation technique."

Lu Jin then chimed in, sharing her thoughts: "Should we try it out later?"

It's worth a try.

Jiang Liu agreed.

Regardless, the Death Bracelet was on Jesse's waist, which gave them ample reason to cause her trouble.

Just then, Jiang Liu had a sudden thought and received information from Isaac Taber. The other party had already contacted the teachers and students of Flamel Academy to learn about the current situation in Siwon, and was sending a one-way message through the paper monkey, saying, "Jiang Liu, can you hear me?"

I have something to tell you about Siwon. I'm not sure if she stole the Death Bracelet, but she is definitely not in her native England or Scotland.

She recently caused a major incident—

The Jade Tablets, also known as the Jadeite Stone Tablets in folk legends, consist of thirteen pieces.

The first tablet, which records the history of Thoth on the island of Atlantis; the twelfth tablet, which records the law of cause and effect and prophecies; and the thirteenth tablet, which records life and death, were stolen by Siward!

The Jade Record?

At this moment, Jiang Liu was absolutely certain that this "Jesse" was none other than Siobhan McDougall! Not a young girl, but a thirty-year-old woman!

"The Jade Society has already sent people out, but they have been obstructed by an organization called the G Foundation."

Isaac Taber continued, his tone slightly lower, "This faction is very complex. It has extraordinary individuals and ordinary people; it cultivates, it's involved in politics, and its ambitions are immense. Neither Flamel Academy, nor the Emerald Society, nor any other alchemical faction wants to be its enemy..."
