In Taoist concepts,

Thunder is the pivot of Yin and Yang, the root of all things.

Qing Chen knew that the contents on this paper must be very important.

Because Taoism would not use Immortal Seal Script to write things that are not particularly important.

He found treasure.

At this moment, Qing Chen focused on the contents of the paper, and the thunder in his body surged uncontrollably.

He was a little surprised. How could this thing be so strange? He hadn't even understood what this Taoist classic was written about, yet it had already aroused the Power of Thunder in his body?!

Before, he had been pondering how to upgrade the thunder in his body.

Awakened One's upgrade requires a more particular opportunity, but he couldn't kill his superiors and relatives like Shendai Yunhe to continue his awakening.

Therefore, when this thunder method appeared, Qing Chen made up his mind to translate it.

The Zhunti Method Breathing Technique can improve the Knight True Qi in his body, eventually achieving a qualitative change through quantitative change, liquefying it.

Now, he wondered if this thunder method could also help him continue to improve his Awakened One abilities?

Qing Chen memorized all the characters on the paper, and then threw the paper into the bonfire, watching it burn to ashes.

"Oh!" Ma Jingjing and others in the distance were anxious. This thing was obviously very important, so why did he burn it?

However, Qing Chen just glanced at them and ignored them.

For him, storing them in his mind was the safest.

Yang Yang curiously asked beside him, "Is it useful?"

Qing Chen nodded, "Useful."

Yang Yang's eyes lit up, "What's written on it?"

Qing Chen shook his head, "I don't know yet. The characters are in Immortal Seal Script, and I have to find someone to translate them."

Zard suddenly asked, "What's the relationship between Immortal Seal Script and jumping from a high place to commit suicide?"

Qing Chen: "...There's no relationship."

At this time.

"Congratulations, you're lucky," Shadow smiled, "I didn't expect you to find something useful."

But Qing Chen shook his head, "It's not luck."

To be honest, this was really not luck.

There is a Demi-God brother willing to exert the strength of the Qing Family Conglomerate, making a great fuss to search the whole world, searching the entire Federation's cultural relics and materials.

When all the cultural relics and materials in the world are in his hands, then the probability of him obtaining a certain thing changes from accidental to inevitable.

That's not luck.

Or rather, his luck wasn't finding the information.

It's having such a brother.

Qing Chen looked at Shadow, earnestly and solemnly said, "Thank you."

Shadow was stunned, then waved his hand, "What are you thanking me for? It's just a matter of convenience, it's not troublesome."

I wonder how the three Conglomerates who were robbed would think if they heard this.

Qing Chen continued to pick and choose among the remaining cultural relics and materials, and there were no new discoveries.

...

...

In a small bar in City 22, Zheng Yuandong and Lu Yuan were sitting side by side.

Lu Yuan said softly, "Boss, have you seen the news online, the news about Shadow robbing three Conglomerates? It is said that they robbed the cultural relics and books they preserved. Before, there were also rumors in the black market saying that Qing Family Shadow was looking for classics from the previous civilization."

Zheng Yuandong glanced at him, "Just say what you want to say."

"Boss, do you think this might be related to Qing Chen?" Lu Yuan curiously asked.

Zheng Yuandong shook his head, "No need to guess, it's definitely related. I suspect this is Qing Chen looking for possible Cultivation inheritance. It seems that the reason why he didn't agree to give me the Zhunti Method was because of this idea. I also suspected before that the cultural relics and materials in the Conglomerate's hands contain Cultivation inheritance that the Outer World can decipher. I originally planned to do it, but they got ahead of me. And, I didn't expect... Shadow to be so aggressive."

In the outside world, Qing Chen is Shadow's subordinate, so Qing Chen has no reason to let Shadow make such a fuss.

Even Zheng Yuandong and the others couldn't understand this matter.

Lu Yuan whispered, "If Shadow is really looking for Cultivation inheritance for him, then Qing Chen's identity might be too bizarre. That's Qing Family's Shadow, and he's actually looking for cultivation techniques for him..."

Zheng Yuandong continued, "Whether this matter is related to Qing Chen or not depends on whether he can bring something to trade with us after he returns this time. Shadow won't act rashly. He is a very cautious person, so I suspect... his time is running out."

Only those who are about to die will act so freely and recklessly, no longer caring about worldly opinions, no longer caring about how other forces will guess.

Just be happy.

This is clearly the mentality of someone who is about to die.

Zheng Yuandong said, "Now I'm more concerned about one thing. Ma Jingjing in Academy posted on the Academy forum that Qing Chen is in Forbidden Zone 10 right now. I think they should not have left yet. The Observer organization has discovered that the Chen Family's army has approached that place under the name of an exercise. Just now, someone witnessed Chen Family's Demi-God Chen Yu riding a green ox flying into the sky and leaving City 7."

Lu Yuan was stunned, "Wasn't it said that he wouldn't leave easily?"

Zheng Yuandong said solemnly, "Based on the rumors on the Internet, I judge that Chen Yu's departure direction is Forbidden Zone 10. Not only Chen Yu, but also several experts from Koshima and Shendai are missing. Several special forces under Shendai and Koshima have left their bases under the pretext of an exercise, and their whereabouts are unknown. In the future, the Inner World is afraid that it will cause waves again. The Demi-God battles are becoming more frequent. This is not a good sign."

After the death of Shendai Qianchi, Chen Yu returned to City 7 and closed his doors, spending his days immersed in painting and ignoring worldly affairs.

Every day, outside Chen Yu's mansion, there would be carloads of paints, inks, and paper delivered.

For many years, although the Chen Family has had a head of the family, everyone knows that the Chen Family is truly ruled by Chen Chuanzhi and Chen Yu, father and son.

After Chen Chuanzhi's death, the current head of the family wanted to take power, but before the head of the family could be happy for too long, Chen Yu, who was exceptionally talented, also stepped into the ranks of Demi-Gods.

It really made the head of the Chen Family desperate.

Now, everyone who wants to visit Chen Yu is turned away.

The reason is only one: to paint.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this Demi-God is really leisurely and elegant, with great taste.

But in Zheng Yuandong's eyes, this is clearly because he knows that a great war is imminent, and he is actively preparing for battle.

You must know that Chen Yu's paintings are used to kill people.

At this time, several people walked into the bar, the leader of whom was Zhang Qinghuan and Little Seven.

Little Seven said to the bar Boss with a smile, "It's time to pay the Protection money this month."

In the past, when gangs came to collect Protection money, the bar Boss would always frown.

After all, apart from the operating costs, there is an additional large amount of expenditure, and no one is happy.

Of course, there is no way to be unhappy. Since the establishment of District 3, the custom of collecting Protection money has never stopped, only the gangs that come to collect Protection money often change.

However, Lu Yuan watched from the side and found that when Little Seven collected the Protection money, the bar Boss actually said with a smile, "Little Seven is here! I've prepared the money for you. Sit down and have a few drinks? This freshly bought beer is very refreshing."

Little Seven took the envelope and smiled and waved his hand, "Let's not drink yet. There are dozens of Protection money to collect."

Lu Yuan whispered to Zheng Yuandong, "Boss, why are they so harmonious when collecting Protection money?"

Zheng Yuandong said, "Because the people from Guardians' Union really do things here. The previous gangs only collected Protection money, but they didn't actually protect you. If you say here that you are protected by the Arts Society, even drunks dare not run away or make trouble. Moreover, the whole District 3 is different. Recently, people from District 5 even come here to drink because it's safe."

The safety index of District 3 in City 22 has been maxed out by the Guardians' Union.

The gang association established by the Guardians' Union here, all gangs have become one big family, behind which are Luo Wanya and Little Seven.

The gangs have not decreased, but the only one who is in charge is the Guardians' Union.

Now there are patrols here at night. No matter what happens, as long as you call the gang association hotline, someone will come to solve the dispute within 10 minutes.

It's like Outer World 110[-] linkage. If you have something to do, find the gang association and you'll be right.

Therefore, the public order that Districts 4, 5, and 6 cannot achieve, District 3 has achieved.

People from the neighboring districts don't go to other places to drink at night. They come to District 3.

It's just that even if you get drunk and lie on the road, you won't be robbed.

Even if your money is stolen on the street, the Guardians' Union can immediately catch the thief through the ubiquitous cameras and sky-eye system...

Here, there is a kind of feeling of joint prevention and control between the police and the people, which is very harmonious.

The bosses of District 3 are also doing better business.

At this moment, the bar Boss whispered, "We haven't seen those two people next to us. They might be newcomers from other places."

Little Seven raised his eyebrows and walked to Zheng Yuandong with a smile, politely saying, "Where are you two from? You look unfamiliar. You're not from our District 3, are you?"

Zheng Yuandong glanced at him and said softly, "I'm from the Golden Family."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Little Seven stood up respectfully, "I didn't expect you to be family members. What are you two doing in City 22?"

Zheng Yuandong shook his head, "The Leader's instructions, I can't say."

Little Seven quickly said, "I understand, I won't ask."

Speaking of which, Little Seven waved his hand and left with the members of the Guardians' Union.

Lu Yuan looked at Little Seven's back and sighed, "I didn't know before, but I was surprised when I came here. District 3 of City 22 is completely lit up, clean and tidy, not like a slum. The Guardians' Union has really made a big change here."

Zheng Yuandong is not really from the Golden Family, but mentioning that he is from the Golden Family here is really useful.

Anyway, the Guardians' Union dare not make a roster and member system for the time being. Except for a few core members of the Guardians' Union, no one can immediately verify his identity.

Zheng Yuandong said, "Now, the whole District 3 of City 22 has joint prevention and control, making it like the Chao Yang Masses, which is a very terrifying change. Qing Chen... has a great plan. Now they have gone to City 20, City 21, and City 10, City 18, and City 13 to the south, as if they are racing against time to bloom everywhere. I plan to go to City 20, go deep into the Guardians' Union, look at their operation model, and then see what they are planning to do."

Lu Yuan whispered, "Boss, won't you become family one day?"

Zheng Yuandong smiled, "What are you thinking about? The Conglomerate has started to pay attention to them. I'm wondering how to buy them more time."

...

...

Countdown 18:00:00.

"What is this plant?" Qing Chen asked.

Shadow explained, "This is Chicken Blood Bud. It's used for hemostasis, anti-inflammation, and healing. All the special effect wound medicines you can buy in the black market must use it as a medicinal guide. In fact, those black medicines are diluted by merchants, and they are not as effective as directly crushing the Chicken Blood Bud and applying it directly to the wound. Generally, one Chicken Blood Bud can be used to dilute forty-two bottles of black medicine."

Qing Chen nodded, "Good stuff, Xiao Mengqian, go dig up this Chicken Blood Bud and stuff it into Zard's belly."

"Okay," Zhang Mengqian said as he bent down to dig.

These days, Qing Chen has been digging plants in Forbidden Zone 10. Whatever is useful, he directly lets Zhang Mengqian dig it up and then stuffs it into Zard's body to raise it.

Because of digging plants, Xiao Mengqian's hands have been blistered countless times, but he works diligently and never gives up. Qing Chen seems to have not seen anything and ignores it.

And Zard, because there are too many plants stuffed in his body, his whole body has swollen up, as if he were pregnant with octuplets.

His swollen body walks like Bingdundun.

Others might have complained long ago, but Zard didn't. Instead, he followed behind Qing Chen with excitement, as if nothing had happened.

Ma Jingjing and the others looked at each other. They didn't know why Qing Chen collected so many plants.
