The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

Gao Zhanpeng and Mr. Wang faced each other, one with a face full of respect and the other with a face full of admiration.

"Old Wang, I've received a message that a major disaster will occur in Sichuan Province in May. The source of this message is unbelievable, but I've received it many times before, and it's always been true. I'm willing to believe it this time too."

Gao Zhanpeng didn't know how to tell Mr. Wang about the source of the information.

Old Wang raised an eyebrow, suppressing his shock, and slowly said:

What kind of disaster was it?

"It was an earthquake, and a very strong one."

Gao Zhanpeng did not hide anything.

Old Wang pondered for a moment, then asked with a serious expression:

"Do you believe this will happen?"

"Yes! I believe you. I have received this anonymous message several times, and each time it has come true. When I was in Guangdong Province, many places benefited from this information channel."

However, this matter is too significant, involving too many areas. If not handled properly, it could cause public panic. I would like to hear your opinion.

Gao Zhanpeng stated the truth.

"To be honest, I also received this message, just like you, through anonymous means."

After speaking, Old Wang fell into deep thought. It wasn't that he didn't believe the information Hua Yan had given him; he was considering how to respond.

Gao Zhanpeng was visibly relieved to hear that Elder Wang had also received the news. He had been genuinely worried that he wouldn't be able to persuade Elder Wang, and that the subsequent work wouldn't be able to proceed.

"Regardless of whether this news is true or not, we should take precautions."

Gao Zhanpeng offered his opinion.

"Okay! Have the earthquake bureau monitor Sichuan Province and the surrounding areas closely, and report back immediately if anything happens."

"Okay! If there is any unusual activity, our rescue team must follow."

……

Mr. Wang and Gao Zhanpeng discussed it for a long time, and they both believed in the authenticity of the anonymous message.

Hua Yan also instructed Miao Xianxing that in addition to doing a good job in advertising and promoting Yanxi Group for the August Olympics, they should also stockpile a large amount of living supplies, relief supplies, and so on.

"Are we preparing like we did for the recent snow and ice disaster?"

Miao Xianxing knew that Hua Yan was explaining this matter so seriously because something was about to happen.

"The preparations are even more comprehensive than last time, including medical personnel for rescue, medical supplies, daily necessities, excavating machinery, and so on..."

Hua Yan explained in detail the rescue plan after the earthquake.

Miao Xianxing was somewhat bewildered upon hearing this, and cautiously asked:

"Ninth Master, is something big about to happen?"

"Yes! During the Spring Festival this year, I cast a divination for the country, saying that a major earthquake would occur in Sichuan Province and the surrounding areas in May, causing heavy casualties and attracting worldwide attention."

I wanted to prepare for the rescue beforehand, so we wouldn't be caught off guard and confused.

Hua Yan did indeed cast a divination, and the result indicated a major disaster for China. As for the earthquake, that was purely a memory from Hua Yan's previous life.

Miao Xianxing knew that Hua Yan was skilled in the I Ching and was very good at divination and face reading, but she rarely used her skills.

"Okay! I'll get ready right away."

"This time, we will prepare more trauma medications, and the medical staff will mainly consist of orthopedic and surgical specialists."

"I understand. I'll contact Hua Jiao and Liang Dong right away and tell them to get ready."

Miao Xianxing never doubted Hua Yan's words, even if Hua Yan said that the earth would be destroyed tomorrow, Miao Xianxing would still believe her. Therefore, he quickly made follow-up arrangements.

After careful discussion, Hua Yan said:

"Mr. Miao, I might be going to Sichuan Province soon. Don't bother contacting me unless it's something important."

Hua Yan had to set up a barrier to minimize the damage.

"Okay! Don't worry, I'll arrange everything."

Miao Xianxing calculated the time in his mind and began to carry out the plan.

-

Those who received the news sprang into action, but Hua Yan had no energy to care about such things; she had already gone to Sichuan Province alone.

Although she was alone, she was actually accompanied by Qiu Bao, Xiao Guai, and Fang Hua. When they had nothing to do, they would cultivate and grow herbs in Plum Blossom Valley. When something happened, they would appear and help Hua Yan overcome difficulties and dangers together.

It is now late April. Based on the information in the Plum Blossom Valley Library, Hua Yan knows exactly where the earthquakes occurred, and she first heads to the areas most severely affected.

In order not to disrupt people's lives, she did her best to set up a protective barrier.

This disaster is an earthquake, unlike other disasters. Hua Yan is not confident that she can completely avoid it, because the barrier can prevent things from the outside from entering, but whether an earthquake will still occur inside the barrier, Hua Yan does not know.

Although it might be a waste of effort, Hua Yan still did her best to protect the lives and property of the people in these areas.

On May 7, 2008, Hua Yan had completed all the preventative work. She had been working continuously for nearly twenty days and was completely exhausted.

"Qiu Bao, I'm going to rest in the Spirit Spring Pool. You guys stay outside and keep an eye on things."

After setting up the last barrier, Hua Yan gave the order in a weak voice.

"Jiu'er, rest assured, we will observe the situation outside."

"I feel sorry for Qiu Bao," Qiu Bao said with heartache.

As Hua Yan's skills improved, he hadn't seen her so weak in a long time.

Hua Yan threw herself into the spirit spring pool. If Qiu Bao hadn't followed her in, she might have drowned in the pool.

Looking at Hua Yan, who was already unconscious, Qiu Bao's tear slid down her cheek without warning.

Over the years, Hua Yan has truly devoted herself wholeheartedly to China, working tirelessly and selflessly. At such a young age, she has shouldered such heavy responsibilities; it breaks Qiu Bao's heart.

None of his previous masters possessed abilities as extraordinary as Hua Yan's. Although they could protect the peace of their respective regions, their abilities were limited. However, Hua Yan, perhaps stubbornly adhering to the ancestor's instructions, took the world as his responsibility and saved the common people from suffering.

To fulfill this obligation, Hua Yan worked tirelessly to cultivate her skills, minimizing the damage caused by many disasters.

If it weren't for Dahei, Huayan might have perished during this earthquake for the sake of all living beings.

Fortunately, I've just fainted from exhaustion. I'll recover sooner or later after soaking in the spiritual spring.

While feeling sorry for Hua Yan, Qiu Bao comforted himself, then put Hua Yan away, gave some instructions to the peach tree spirit, and then disappeared from the space.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Hua Yan remained unconscious in the space. Every time Qiu Bao went in to check on her, her eyes were closed. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened in the past few days, and although Qiu Bao was worried about Hua Yan, she was relatively at ease.

These past few days, what Qiu Bao has heard most is people saying they can't get out of certain places and don't know what's going on. He knows perfectly well that it's a barrier. Although it has made these people suspicious, saving their lives is more important than anything else. Maybe in a few days, they'll be glad they can't get out.

May 12th finally arrived, and Qiu Bao and the others were in a state of high tension. The morning passed without incident, but in the afternoon, earthquakes were felt in many places.

People in these areas were notified in the morning that there would be a small earthquake and were advised to stay in open outdoor areas as much as possible.

These were all orders from Mr. Wang and Gao Zhanpeng. In order not to cause panic, they said that the earthquake bureau had detected an earthquake in these areas and instructed local leaders to call grassroots cadres and tell everyone to stay outdoors in the afternoon.

The timing of this notification is crucial; it cannot be too early or too late. Therefore, the notification was sent out layer by layer starting at 10:00 AM, and by the time it reached the local area, it was just past 1:00 PM, giving the public time to react.

Although Hua Yan gave a specific time, as leaders of a country, they made all the preparations in advance, including notifying the time.

As soon as there was a tremor, Qiu Bao flashed into the space. At this moment, Hua Yan in the spiritual spring pool was sitting cross-legged, with her eyes closed and her face expressionless, surrounded by a circle of Buddhist light.

Qiu Bao was shocked. He had heard about this from his ancestor before. When his ancestor evolved into a mortal body, it was exactly the same situation. However, his ancestor failed and perished as a result, leaving only a wisp of his soul hidden in the plum blossom ring, which took many years to awaken.

Shock, fear, and worry surged through Qiu Bao's mind. He didn't know what to do or what he could do. Staring blankly at Hua Yan, he wanted to wake her, but dared not. He stood there helplessly for a long time. Only when Hua Yan opened her eyes did Qiu Bao finally breathe a sigh of relief and collapse to the ground with a thud, unconscious.

Hua Yan watched Qiu Bao fall, but did not immediately stand up to help him up, because at that moment she was receiving an unusually surging energy that was flowing haphazardly into her limbs and bones.

Haha! No one expected that even when Hua Yan was unconscious in the Spirit Spring Pool, she didn't forget the disaster that was happening outside, so her body actually formed a consciousness channel with the outside world.

All the energy generated by the earthquake in the space she had created a protective barrier was channeled into her body through this channel of consciousness.
