Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Seeing Lin Ziyu's anxious expression, Long Si's heart tightened. He quickly replied, "Master Ziyu, His Highness is in the study, handling matters. Shall I take you to him?"

Lin Ziyu nodded, and Long Si immediately led him to the study. On the way, Lin Ziyu's heart grew heavier, and he silently prayed that everything would not be too late. Finally, they arrived at the study door. Long Si knocked gently, and after receiving an answer, she pushed the door open and let Lin Ziyu in.

Lin Ziyu hurried into the study and immediately spotted Long Yan, who was sitting at his desk, diligently reading a document. Furious, he walked right up to Long Yan and spoke impatiently, "Long Yan, something's wrong! Something serious might have happened with Fifth Grandpa! I was just talking to him when the signal suddenly went dead. Also, I thought I heard someone yelling about a bandit group attacking the city..."

Upon hearing this, Long Yan immediately put down the documents in his hand, looked up at Lin Ziyu, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, but his tone was very calm: "Ziyu, don't be anxious. Calm down first and tell me where Fifth Grandpa is now, do you know?" After speaking, he stood up, patted Lin Ziyu's shoulder gently, then reached out and hugged him tightly.

Lin Ziyu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He looked at Long Yan and said slowly, "Fifth Grandfather and Father should have arrived at the border town. I heard from Fifth Grandfather earlier that they planned to rest there for two days. Fifth Grandfather simply gave us a brief overview of the situation in the border town, saying that a bandit group using the poison of foreign invaders had appeared outside the city. Their methods were extremely brutal, and they had already killed more than a dozen passing caravans."

At this moment, Long Shen walked in with a solemn expression. He walked to Long Yan and bowed to report: "Your Highness, His Majesty wants you to enter the palace immediately."

Long Yan frowned, looked at Long Shen and asked, "What's the hurry?"

Long Shen replied with a heavy face, "Your Highness, the border town is in danger!"

Long Yan looked at the depressed Lin Ziyu, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted him: "Ziyu, don't worry, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible. I need to go to the palace now. When I come back, we will go to the border town together, okay?"

Lin Ziyu nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and replied: "Brother Yan, okay! I'll wait for you to come back."

Long Yan hugged Lin Ziyu gently and said, "Wait for me to come back." Then he let go of Lin Ziyu, turned around and left, signaling Long Si to stay and take care of Lin Ziyu with his eyes.

Lin Ziyu watched Long Yan's retreating figure, lost in thought. He wondered: Bandits? Poison from foreign invaders? Bandits attacking the city? A border town in danger? The border town would likely desperately need a large quantity of detoxification pills and Five Elements Elixirs to cope with the crisis. However, refining the Five Elements Elixirs was difficult, and finding Five Elements Spiritual Herbs was elusive. What should he do? In his mind, he called out to the plush dumpling, asking if there was anything else that could replace the Five Elements Elixirs.

"Lin Ziyu, you can use Five Elements Spirit Stones or Five Elements Spirit Herbs to create a Five Elements Mutual Generation Spirit Formation. While it won't be as effective as a Five Elements Spirit Pill, it's still quite fast. If you're quick, you can recover your energy in just three days; if you're slow, you can recover in ten at most," the furry little ball replied. "Hmph... Lin Ziyu, you must not have been reading the book I told you to. Those books about foreign invaders from thousands of years ago all contain methods to break it."

Hearing Mao Rongtuanzi's harsh tone, Lin Ziyu mentally begged for mercy, "Mao Rongtuanzi, I was wrong. I'll definitely pay attention next time." He then pondered the feasibility of this solution. While the Five Elements Mutual Generation Spiritual Array wasn't as effective as the Five Elements Elixir, it might be sufficient for the current situation. After all, time was running out, and they needed to find a solution quickly. Furthermore, the materials required for the Five Elements Mutual Generation Spiritual Array were relatively easy to obtain, increasing the possibility of implementation.

"Long Si..." Lin Ziyu called softly, with a hint of expectation in his voice, "Do you know where I can buy the Five Elements Spirit Stones?" If the affairs of the border town require the arrangement of the Five Elements Spirit Formation, the Five Elements Spirit Stones are very important.

Long Si was slightly stunned, then reacted and quickly replied: "Master Ziyu, what do you want the Five Elements Spirit Stones for? In fact, His Highness has a lot of them in his warehouse." There was a hint of doubt in his tone, but more of it was concern for Lin Ziyu.

A firm look flashed across Lin Ziyu's eyes, and he said seriously: "The Five Elements Spirit Stones are very useful to me. Could you please take me to get some?" His expression was so sincere that it was impossible to refuse.

Long Si nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, His Highness said that anything you want can be taken at will. Master Ziyu, let's go now. But we are going to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Master Ziyu, please wait for a moment while I prepare the car."

Lin Ziyu nodded and said, "I'll wait for you at the gate."

Long Si went to drive the carriage, and Lin Ziyu walked towards the gate.

Elsewhere, Long Yan anxiously rushed to the Dragon Emperor's Palace. As soon as he entered, he sensed a tense atmosphere. The Dragon Emperor sat solemnly on a high throne in the hall, his brow furrowed. Prime Minister Bai and the other ministers stood quietly in the center, their faces solemn.

The Dragon Emperor glanced at everyone and spoke in a heavy voice, "The border town is in danger, the situation is very critical. My dear ministers, what do you think about this?" There was a hint of worry in his voice, and he seemed to be very worried about the current situation.

The ministers bowed their heads in thought, and the entire hall fell into silence. They all knew the importance of the border town; if it were lost, it would pose a huge threat to the country. However, faced with such an urgent situation, no one could come up with an effective solution at the moment.

The Dragon Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne, looked at Long Yan who had just walked in, and said, "Yan'er, the border town is in danger. What are your thoughts on this?"

Long Yan stood respectfully below. After hearing his father's words, he replied without hesitation, "Father, I beg to go to the border town immediately."

The Dragon Emperor frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Well, why is this?"

Long Yan took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "Father, the situation in Border Town is probably extremely critical. As far as I know, the human race participating in the academy martial arts competition is in Border Town, and Master Lin Yaochen is also traveling with them."

"What?" The Dragon Emperor's face changed, a look of shock. He knew full well the importance of Master Lin Yaochen, the God-level alchemist, to the human, orc, and sea tribes. If something happened to Lin Yaochen, the consequences would be disastrous. "Yan'er, take your men and leave immediately. Make sure Master Lin is safe!"

Long Yan nodded seriously and replied, "Yes, father." Then he turned and left, preparing to lead a team of elite forces to rush to the border town quickly.

Long Yan left the hall. "Long Shen, notify Long Si to gather outside the city."

"Yes, Your Highness." Long Shen replied.

After contacting Long Si, Long Shen learned that shortly after their departure, Master Ziyu had wanted to buy the Five Elements Spirit Stones. Long Si informed Master Ziyu that they had some in the palace's treasury. They went to the Prince's Mansion to get them, but the palace's housekeeper and his men stopped them. A confrontation ensued, and Master Ziyu rode away in anger.

"Your Highness, when Long Si took Young Master Zi Yu to the mansion's storehouse to get the Five Elements Spirit Stones, they were stopped by the mansion's housekeeper and a conflict ensued. Young Master Zi Yu rode away in anger." Long Shen reported the situation to Long Yan.

Upon hearing this news, Long Yan's face instantly turned gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice: "What did you say?"

Long Shen quickly repeated, "Master Ziyu rode away alone."

"Ask Long Si where they are?" Long Yan said with a hint of anger in his voice.

Long Shen said with some concern: "After leaving the imperial city, Long Si did not catch up with Master Ziyu."

Long Yan sensed Lin Ziyu's direction towards the border town through the contract. He said in a cold voice, "Long Shen, take your men to the border town as soon as possible." With that, he opened up space and, through the contract, rushed to Lin Ziyu's side.

Lin Ziyu saw Long Yan and said softly, "You're here."

Long Yan hugged Lin Ziyu tightly and said in a domineering tone: "You are not allowed to leave me."
