The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 604 This treasure hunting method is too shoddy, isn't it?

Below the mountain was a lake, which connected to the river he had just crossed, but the lake was now completely frozen.

On this frozen lake, many people were moving back and forth on the frozen surface.

Lin Chen was momentarily stunned. So many people?

Are you going to the market?
"boom!"

Someone punched down, and the ice surface shattered, creating a huge hole.

The innate grandmaster!
After delivering the punch, the man sat down cross-legged to rest and meditate. The waiting crowd then used a huge shovel to collect all the ice shards into a large basket, which was then carried away quickly by two people to a distance where the basket collapsed.

Once the ice in the huge ice hole was cleared away, the man who had been resting nearby got up again, threw a punch, and then the people around him started cleaning up again.

What Lin Chen saw was just one of countless working groups. These people were organized and purposeful, constantly breaking through the ice and moving all the ice blocks away, just like busy ants.

Holy crap, these people are manually smashing up the entire lake's frozen ice!

Not to mention the Grandmaster of Innate Realm who took action, even the people next to him carrying shovels and baskets were incredibly agile and strong, clearly all cultivators of considerable strength!
Is it like finding a needle in a haystack?
Lin Chen was shocked.

Can this be found?
Lin Chen's gaze swept across the shore of the lake and saw a campsite set up with a row of pots and pans at the edge of the campsite, where people were cooking.

Who is the organizer?
Cultivators from blessed lands and grottoes?
If it's them, then aren't their methods for finding magical treasures a bit too crude?
As a cultivator, shouldn't you have some cool positioning magic weapon instead of such a primitive method?

Lin Chen's gaze swept across the center of the camp, where there was a small table. Three people were leisurely drinking tea around the table: a middle-aged man, a young man, a beautiful young woman, and an elderly man with white hair.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the white-haired old man, and he was quite surprised.

Ji Yusheng!
This white-haired old man is actually Ji Yusheng, the strongest person in Kyushu!

Lin Chen's gaze quickly shifted back to the three people beside him. These three people were so young yet they could sit on equal footing with Ji Yusheng. Could they be cultivators from a blessed land?
Lin Chen had many questions in his mind. After thinking for a while, he took out the disguise items he had prepared from his spatial ring and gave himself a simple and effective disguise.

Half an hour later, the sunny and handsome Lin Chen transformed into a middle-aged man with silver-white hair, a yellowish complexion, and a beard.

He packed his things and headed down the mountain.

As soon as he appeared, someone noticed him. A middle-aged man wearing an armband stopped him. "Who are you, and where are you from?"

Lin Chen casually made up a story: "My name is Cheng Lin, and I come from Xinhai. I heard that there is a chance to become an immortal here, so I came to take a look."

The middle-aged man sized up Lin Chen and continued to question him: "What's your strength?"

"Grandmaster of the Innate Realm".

The middle-aged man's lazy expression finally turned serious: "This place has been designated as a restricted area. Either you leave and seek your own destiny, or you join a search team. We'll assign you a clearing group. Whoever's group finds the treasure will receive the reward of entering the unknown land."

Lin Chen was startled: "The entire group can enter?"

"Yes, all of you, enter!"

The middle-aged man asked, "Leave, or stay?"

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Why is everyone gathered here? Are there people from the Unknown Land guarding this place? Aren't they all powerful beings with great abilities? Why would they need to do this?"

This middle-aged man was clearly an ordinary cultivator, just an official assigned to guard this place. Perhaps because Lin Chen was a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, he was quite patient.

“They say that the spiritual energy in the human world is thin, so powerful methods cannot be used. Moreover, the lake has now been frozen into a single entity, which has disrupted the perception of spiritual energy, making it impossible to detect the exact location of the treasure. However, as long as the ice layer is broken, even if the treasure is hidden underground, they can still find it.”

Lin Chen suddenly realized why so many cultivators were here trying to move the lake like the Foolish Old Man.

Just as Chu Jiaxue said, when cultivators enter the mortal world, many of their skills become useless, and in some aspects they are even inferior to mortal cultivators.

This is perhaps the best protection that Heaven can give to the human world. Otherwise, if a few cultivators were to appear at will, they could act arrogantly and domineeringly in the human world. If they were to go crazy and start fighting, wouldn't the land be shattered?
"What does it mean to divide the area into zones? Who divided it? Is there more than one unknown place here?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Yes, there were three in total: Dongyue Taishan Grotto-Heaven, Beiyue Changshan Grotto-Heaven, and Lingxu Blessed Land. After discussing it, the three parties divided the entire lake into three parts, each of them randomly selected one part and organized their own people to dig. Whoever's area has the treasure, that's theirs. This part belongs to Dongyue Taishan Grotto-Heaven."

Lin Chen's mind raced, and he readily agreed: "I'll stay!"
