System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Half a month later, Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Zhang Qilin, Huo Xiuxiu, and Xie Xiaohua set off from Beijing to Gutongjing.

Because the capital city is the territory of the Xie and Huo families, the tools, equipment, and other matters required for this operation were all prepared by the two families.

In exchange, Huo Xiuxiu and Xie Xiaohua would travel together to the Badain Jaran Desert to search for the ancient city of Gutongjing.

Before setting off, Zhang Hao had already explained the risks of this operation, but they still wanted to join, so Zhang Hao did not refuse.

Although I am very strong, I am not superhuman. There will always be times when I need the team to cooperate to accomplish something.

Since that's the case, there's no reason to refuse.

Two days later, Zhang Hao led his team to the outskirts of the Badain Jaran Desert, the last inhabited place before entering the desert.

They need to prepare everything here, including camels, food, water, and a guide.

This kind of person-dealing task was naturally left to Fatty, while the others rested at the hotel and waited for Fatty's message.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the guesthouse room.

Immediately afterwards, the fat man's voice came in.

"Brother Zhang Hao, everything else has been taken care of, but there was a slight mishap with the guide."

Wu Tianzhen got up and opened the door, and the fat man rushed in.

“There aren’t many guides in the village to begin with, and even fewer people venture deep into the desert. Just a couple of days ago, an archaeological team came to the village. They hired guides and rented all the camels. If we want to go into the desert, we can only compete with them for guides and camel caravans, and the key is that we don’t even know if they will agree to it.”

"Hiring a guide or camel caravan?"

Zhang Hao didn't care about the camel caravan; he had his own storage space, and the caravan was just a cover.

However, guides are absolutely essential, as none of them are entering the desert for the first time and have no prior experience in this area.

The uninhabited areas in the Badain Jaran Desert are fraught with danger, and the absence of a guide can cause many difficulties.

However, teaming up with others can cause many inconveniences in terms of movement.

If you have a choice, not teaming up is naturally the best option.

Zhang Hao asked, "We're not in a hurry. If we wait in the village, will there be a guide?"

“I heard from the villagers that the windy season will start in half a month, with sandstorms every day, making it unsuitable to enter the desert. The windy season will be over around this time next year. There are only about 20 days a year suitable for entering the desert. We were lucky to arrive just in time. If it had been any earlier or later, we wouldn’t have been able to enter the desert.”

Zhang Hao frowned upon hearing this. According to the fat man, if they missed this opportunity, they would have to wait another year. Ten days or half a month would be manageable, but he simply couldn't wait a whole year.

Since that's the case, we can only accept competing with other teams.

"Then go and scout out the situation, see if the other side is willing to fight us with their team."

"hey-hey!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man chuckled twice, then pulled out an A4 sheet of paper, one side of which was white with black writing and a red stamp on it.

“Their team is recruiting people who know feng shui. Brother Zhang Hao, I remember you also know a little about feng shui. When you apply, just say that we are all your assistants, and they won’t refuse to let us join the team.”

"That won't do. We have to listen to them when we're doing our jobs."

Zhang Hao immediately rejected the fat man's suggestion. Joining a team with others already caused a lot of trouble, and joining the archaeological team and working for them would only bring more trouble.

However, they can still make use of the fact that they need someone who knows feng shui.

"Come on, Fatty, take us to see what's going on."

"okay!"

The fat man responded and led everyone out of the guesthouse. After walking through two streets, they found a small courtyard outside the village and pushed open the door to enter.

As they entered, a girl about the same age as Zhang Hao and the others was sweeping the yard. Hearing the noise, she looked towards the entrance.

"Who are you? What brings you here?"

"I heard you're hiring someone who knows feng shui, so I came to take a look."

The girl stared at Zhang Hao and his group for a while and said, "You all look younger than me, and you think you know anything about feng shui? My teacher's time is very precious, so don't waste it. Just leave!"

"How can you talk like that, little girl? Don't you know that heroes have emerged from among the young? Don't underestimate us just because we're young; each of us has extraordinary abilities."

"Who are you people? You don't even know how to talk nonsense. Get out of here and don't get in my way while I'm sweeping the floor."

As the girl spoke, she waved the broom in her hand to drive Zhang Hao and his group away.

At this moment, the people inside heard the noise, and a middle-aged man came out.

"Wang Xing, what's going on? What are you doing?"

"Teacher Liu, these guys said they know feng shui and came to apply for the job. They look even younger than me, how could they possibly know feng shui!"

The middle-aged man, referred to as Teacher Liu, glanced at Zhang Hao and his group: "You're so young, yet you're already learning bad habits and spouting nonsense. You'd better leave now."

"You call yourself a teacher? How dare you look down on people like a little girl? My feng shui skills, along with your brother Zhang Hao's, are so advanced that even ghosts and gods can't tell the difference. You'll regret it later!"

The fat man was furious when he saw that even Teacher Liu didn't believe any of them knew feng shui.

"Who are these people? It's no wonder they can't recruit truly capable talent!"

Zhang Hao shook his head. In most people's subconscious, professions like traditional Chinese medicine and feng shui are more sought after as people get older.

Of course, this is not without reason, since these traditional professions require a lot of accumulation before they can unleash their true potential.

That's why they don't believe that young people are capable.

However, he was different; he had received the complete inheritance of the Faqiu Sect, and his Feng Shui skills were the result of thousands of years of accumulation by the sect's predecessors.

Despite his youth, he is probably the most knowledgeable about feng shui in the world.

"Whose feng shui skills have reached a level that defies even the gods and spirits?"

Seeing that the archaeological team didn't believe them, Zhang Hao and his group didn't press the matter and were about to leave when an old man with a full head of white hair came out from the inner room.

As soon as he came out, Wang Xing and Teacher Liu immediately stepped forward respectfully.

"Professor Chen."

"Professor Chen."

"Ah."

Professor Chen nodded in agreement, then looked towards Zhang Hao and the others.

"Young man, whose feng shui skills did you just say were so advanced that even ghosts and gods couldn't tell?"

"Professor Chen, they are liars. Don't listen to their nonsense."

Before the fat man could speak, Wang Xing immediately interjected.

Professor Chen gestured to Wang Xing not to disturb him: "Whether he is a fraud or not, I will make my own judgment. You don't need to say anything more."

"Hmm, you're not bad, old man. My brother Zhang Hao's feng shui skills have reached a level of perfection."

The fat man pointed at Zhang Hao and said, "It's him."
