The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

The dragon egg jumped over and carefully examined the corpse of the Black Dragon Sect elder. It seemed to sense something, so it also stuck to the corpse and began to absorb it.

"What's going on here?"

"They must have sensed that the Black Dragon Sect elder's corpse was nutritious! After all, he was of the dragon attribute, so it should be helpful to the dragon egg."

However, the dragon egg stayed by the Black Dragon Sect elder's side for a long time and clearly absorbed a lot of things, but his corpse did not wither.

After a while, the entire dragon egg changed, becoming glossy and textured, as if it had been elevated to a higher level. Could it be that the Black Dragon Sect elder's power had been absorbed?
"The Black Dragon Sect elder's abilities are incredibly powerful, even among us, he is top-tier. He can absorb energy from his surroundings, which is essentially life absorption. He converts the absorbed energy into his own energy, and there is no limit to it."

Kaka Dong and Qing Yinyan were stunned. This ability was simply too overpowered. As for why the Black Dragon Sect elder, who possessed such an incredible skill, was still killed, it could only be attributed to his stupidity.

"Actually, I feel that if the dragon egg has this skill, we won't need to search for the dragon's aura all over the world anymore. As long as we encounter a dragon-attribute enemy and come into contact with the dragon egg, the dragon egg will have an overwhelming advantage over the enemy."

Kakadon was also very surprised. In their ninja world, there were people with similar skills, but in the ninja world, energy had to be given voluntarily. This person was able to absorb it on his own.

After everyone finished packing, they put the dragon egg back into their bracelets, and then separated the water monster's corpse and put it into their bracelets as well, since the corpse had valuable research and medicinal value.

"Alright! Do you remember the promise we made to the old lady?"

"Of course I remember! I'm going to catch a seal right now!"

After saying that, Ling Juan dived into the lake to search for the seals. Kakadon was responsible for meeting Ling Juan above, since he was a fire elementalist and not suited for diving.

In the blink of an eye, they killed three seals, and the three men each carried one back to the town.

The old woman was still working outside, chopping wood. Jiang Chuan then chopped wood for her. Seeing this heartwarming scene, the old woman missed her deceased husband and her children who had not returned for a long time.

The group stayed another night and had to leave the next day. For Jiang Chuan, Qing Yinyan, and the others, time was money, and mastering time meant mastering the secrets of this world.

"Grandma, let's go!"

"Come again next time!"

Jiang Chuan watched as the old woman started working again. In fact, Jiang Chuan had always had a question in his mind: why did the old woman continue to stay in this place? The environment here was so harsh, and the old woman was all alone and couldn't handle everything on her own.

However, the answer was soon revealed to him by the spirit scroll.

"Didn't you realize that the old woman is actually quite skilled?"

"Oh? How come I didn't notice?"

"You've discovered nothing! All you know is drinking soup and eating meat. The old woman has firewood, but the amount of firewood never decreases. Now you know why, right?"

"You mean the old woman is a fire mage, but calling her a master is a bit of an exaggeration!"

Ling Juan shook her head again and continued.

"Didn't you notice that the people around you are all much older? They don't even have hunting skills, so how could they possibly have caught a seal? It means that the old woman has been living here to take care of the elderly people living alone in this village."

After listening, Qing Yinyan also felt that it made a lot of sense. She had come here several times before without noticing it, but now, based on the analysis of the spirit scroll, she suddenly felt enlightened.

"It turns out that she kept saying she couldn't leave this place because she had to take care of everyone in this town."

Everyone was deeply moved, realizing that there were still such kind people in this world who would take care of someone who was not related to them.

"Let's go! Let's go back to the church first."

As Kaka walked along, he gained a deeper understanding of the place. He found that it was indeed not as dilapidated and shameless as his Sakura Country had described.

On the contrary, this place is incredibly humane. Of course, every place has villains and bad guys.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the church, which was bustling with activity. It became even more lively once Jiang Chuan returned.

"What's going on? It's so lively!"

A servant came to inform Jiang Chuan and said...

"Our sect is now the top of the three major sects, and there are four major academies below us. We have a lot of prestige."

"Who made this assessment?!"

"Of course it was the evaluation team that did the evaluation. It seems our sect will be able to add quite a few more strong individuals."

Jiang Chuan wiped the cold sweat from his face. He had never stayed in the sect; the sect's affairs were all taken care of by his trusted confidant, Brother Hua.

"Alright, alright! Then let's have a banquet tonight. I have things to do tomorrow."

After that, the entire sect started celebrating again. Even Ling Juan drank and made merry with the whole sect in the middle of the night, having a great time.

Jiang Chuan looked around and saw that everyone was drunk and incoherent. He also stopped drinking heavily because he had to travel tomorrow. He decided not to bring Qing Yinyan with him this time, as there would be some risks involved.

As for what the risk was, Jiang Chuan discovered the reason why Qing Yinyan was angry: Qing Yinyan was jealous. As for why Qing Yinyan was jealous, we have to start by talking about the other party.

Scarlet Witch is a great beauty, and the kind of woman who's quite mature. She actually took Jiang Chuan and the others as her disciples, and after taking them in, she even said they were like her younger brother. No woman would be happy about that.

Jiang Chuan had fallen asleep, Ling Juan had stopped drinking, and the group of people were all lying down on the chairs to sleep.

The next morning, Ling Juan and Jiang Chuan were about to leave the sect. Everyone came out to see them off, and Qing Yinyan and Kaka Dong were also very excited and came out to see Jiang Chuan off as well, to see what was going on with him.

"I'm leaving now, I won't take you with me, I'm afraid taking you might cause some trouble."

Qing Yinyan was also reluctant to part with Jiang Chuan. After all, Jiang Chuan could bring her a sense of security, and she also had some feelings for him.

The two flew together on their swords and arrived at the library in the blink of an eye. The library gate was decorated and was magnificent, with a palace-like feel to it. No wonder she was their master, Scarlet Witch.

"Hey! Open the door."

"Who!"

"I, Jiang Chuan, still have the Spirit Scroll."

"boom!"

The butler who opened the door was the same one from before. When the butler saw Jiang Chuan, whose temperament and spiritual power had become even stronger, he nodded with satisfaction and gave a very intriguing smile. Jiang Chuan was certain that the butler meant no harm and that the butler was definitely a master.

As for why they were working as housekeepers here, that was not something Jiang Chuan and the others could figure out.

"Come inside! Scarlet Witch has been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiang Chuan was also very helpful, preparing some cakes made by the sect's chefs. He didn't bring anything special; he just thought the cakes were delicious. Ling Juan didn't prepare anything, simply listening to what the other person was saying. The Scarlet Witch was reading in the library, with a small red fox in front of her desk—a bright red fox, clearly fond of that color.

"You guys are here!"

Jiang Chuan nodded and smiled as he placed the cake in front of the Scarlet Witch, saying...

"Teacher Hong, I specially got this cake from the sect, please have a taste!"

Upon seeing it, Scarlet Witch smiled slightly, but she was actually very happy. She couldn't wait to taste what the cake was like.

"This cake was made by our master. He not only knows how to cook Sichuan cuisine, but also cooking. Basically, whatever you want to eat, he can make it."

This really hit Scarlet Witch right. She was incredibly excited because she hadn't eaten anything this delicious in a long time, especially in this world where even eating a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) was a luxury.

"Thank you!"

"Don't mention thanking me, it was just a small favor."

Jiang Chuan was also very happy at this point. He wished that Scarlet Witch could show this smile every day, but he didn't want Scarlet Witch to be so restrained. He hoped that Scarlet Witch could be like other girls and jump for joy when she ate a delicious cake.

"By the way, Ms. Hong, what did you call me for this time?"

"Let me take a look at the dragon egg first."

Ling Juan had been standing nearby for quite some time. He took out his bracelet and summoned the dragon egg from within.

Sure enough, the dragon egg was completely different. There was a feeling, a feeling that the dragon egg was constantly absorbing the essence of the people around it. How perceptive the Scarlet Witch was.

She clearly felt that a portion of her internal energy was being absorbed by the dragon egg without her even realizing it.

"You probably don't know what's going on here!"

Since the Scarlet Witch didn't know the reason behind it, the Spirit Scroll began to explain it to her.

"Actually, it was the elder of the Black Dragon Sect. He had an incredible skill that allowed him to absorb the energy of things around him. So I fed this corpse to the dragon egg, and I didn't expect the dragon egg to also acquire this skill."

After hearing this, Scarlet Witch was also incredulous. She hadn't expected it to be like this. If that was the case, then there was no need to waste time and energy searching for the dragon's aura.

As long as it keeps encountering new people and new things, the dragon egg can absorb energy at any time.

Do you think this dragon egg will eventually hatch into a real dragon?

"Of course you can!"

The Scarlet Witch smiled without saying a word, then gave the two of them an envelope to read.

"This is a new task. You two take a look and then go and complete it!"

Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan hurriedly opened the letter because Ling Juan discovered that what was called a mission was actually an information gap that Scarlet Witch had found through her extensive network of connections, so that Ling Juan, Jiang Chuan, and the others could be trained.

The envelope contained the words, "Tracking down the members of the Cross and eliminating them one by one."

The so-called Red Cross is actually the original Red Cross, a Red Cross full of fraudulent activities. It is still doing all sorts of evil deeds and deceiving people everywhere. It seems that this mission will be quite difficult. It will be a little difficult for Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan to handle it alone.

"Teacher Hong, can we find some outside help?"

Scarlet Witch nodded and said.

"Then I'll go with you."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback and didn't know what to say, so he quickly shut his mouth. It seemed that the Scarlet Witch meant for the two of them to go, so that all the spoils would belong to them.

"Hurry up and go! There's an unexpected surprise."

"Really?! Then we're off! By the way, what's the situation with the Red Cross?"

Scarlet Witch was speechless after hearing this, so she explained to the two of them.

"It's a very powerful organization that makes its fortune by deceiving people."

"If that's the case, then they deserve to die!"

"That's terrible! We should go and wipe them out right now."

The Scarlet Witch turned and left, but before she left, she left a message for Jiang Chuan, Ling Juan, and the others.

“The Red Cross is very strong. You two alone cannot defeat them. You will need both of you to work together.”

After listening, Lingjuan and Jiangchuan nodded and headed to the place where the Cross Society often appeared.

"It seems that the Red Cross must be a place that Scarlet Witch considers valuable."

“Great minds think alike. Take this dragon egg, for example. It’s definitely a good thing. The Scarlet Witch didn’t treat us like weeds to be harvested. Instead, she let us hatch the dragon egg. She’s treating us like family.”

Ling Juan nodded. There was no doubt about that. With her powerful mind, she already understood these things, let alone people or things that didn't.

At this time, the Red Cross members were constantly amassing wealth, and they were quietly deploying the Ghost Plague mutants to various cities.

Then they play the good guys, acting as mercenaries to amass wealth, and pocket as much of this people's money as possible. It's truly despicable.

The scroll also knew a little about these Cross people; their leaders were particularly good at business and were very powerful, and their armed forces were almost invincible.

However, because what they did was inhumane, many people looked down on them and stayed away from the organization; otherwise, the Red Cross would have grown into a large and powerful organization.

Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan arrived at the Red Cross base in the blink of an eye. The facilities here were very advanced, far surpassing those of their own sect.

"Did you see those humans generating electricity? They're kept in captivity to generate power. It's so cruel!"

"How could it be so cruel!"

“If you don’t join their gang, they will do this, and they will even kill to cover it up. This is the true face of the Red Cross.”

Jiang Chuan nodded, and the two of them came up with a plan: first, to collect information on the crimes committed by the Red Cross, then spread the information to make them focus on external affairs, and finally, Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan would launch a surprise attack on their interior.

That's the general outline, and then Ling Juan began spreading evidence of their Red Cross crimes everywhere. (End of Chapter)
