Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

“Once the news leaks, it will definitely cause a frenzy of competition among major powers and even the seven kingdoms. They will do anything to make trouble for you.” After listening to Yan Fei’s words, Lin Qi stared at her and asked, “Then, what about you?”

"Can you keep the secret about the treasure that can induce a state of enlightenment, without letting Donghuang Taiyi know everything?" Yan Fei was taken aback, then gently shook her head and replied, "I have never told the leader about the crystal ball you possess."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi's eyes suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Then he gently explained:

"The function of this stone tablet is actually limited; it can only help those who are below the level of a terrestrial immortal master."

As for beings like you and me, who are at the Celestial level, the effect will be weaker. For example, it was only your awakening of enlightenment that allowed you to advance to the next level.

"On the contrary, when I first comprehended it, I jumped from the first level of a top-tier master craftsman to the fourth level." Faced with his description, Yan Fei nodded repeatedly to show her understanding, but her eyes were still full of surprise.

Even if it has little impact on high-level beings, it is still a priceless artifact.

Therefore, she emphasized even more firmly: "Regardless of the outcome, this news must never be known to anyone else."

"The others?" Lin Qi raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

"So, in your eyes, I'm no longer an outsider?" Upon hearing the term "one of our own," Yan Fei's expression instantly turned shy, her cheeks flushing red, but she quickly concealed it.

Instead of directly answering Lin Qi's question, she quickly changed the subject, saying, "We should head to Jiaodong County in Hedong Prefecture as soon as possible, otherwise, if we wait too long, Tian Guang might leave first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared quickly, as if fleeing.

Lin Qi smiled slightly upon seeing this, and immediately followed after him.

Their destination was the area bordering Hedong and Nanyang counties, the place where important royal supplies had been lost.

The area was now surrounded by a dense array of soldiers in black armor, and a full-scale search operation was underway.

The central area is where a few people gather.

Yao Jia's face was ashen, clearly indicating his displeasure: "More than two days have passed, and there's still no progress. This large batch of supplies seems to have vanished into thin air. If we delay any longer, we might really end up with nothing."

In fact, as time went on, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for them.

First, their team's morale has begun to decline due to the lack of any valuable clues over a long period of time; second, the enemy may use this time to secretly move supplies away, and if measures are not taken in time, even if clues are found later, all efforts will be in vain.

Standing next to Yao Jia, Wang Ping from Xuanwu Prefecture spoke up: "We have already dispatched people to conduct a comprehensive and detailed survey of the nearby jungle, and we expect to have results soon."

Initially, Yao Jia intended to blame the fact that the investigation of the area had not been completed in two days, as the progress was too slow.

However, he quickly realized that the area was actually a vast, deep forest mountain region with complex terrain, so he did not immediately attack.

Even with the number of people increased to tens of thousands, the search work is still difficult to complete perfectly.

In particular, the terrain in this area is rugged and varied, with cave entrances everywhere.

After a long silence, he sighed and said, "We need to speed up the search process."

"We don't need to search every single place too meticulously. What we need to do now is find any possible clues." The key is that there are currently no clues to be found.

If we can obtain certain clues, we can follow the trail to find the resources secretly hidden by the royal family.

At the same time, it is also possible to capture the enemy who attacked the transport convoy.

At this moment.

A soft female voice suddenly came from the side.

"Could we consider investigating the surrounding counties or nearby villages?" Yao Jia turned his head to look at the voice.

The person who appeared was none other than the Grand Master of Fate, who had come from Xianyang.

Upon seeing her arrival, a glimmer of light appeared in Yao Jia's eyes.

"Could it be that the divination techniques of the Yin-Yang School have revealed some useful information?" The Grand Master of Fate paused and nodded slightly in response.

"Yes, my astrology has improved a bit, and I've gained some insights." Although she joined the operation, she did not immediately take action to participate in the search.

After all, as a combatant, her main role is to provide support when Yao Jia and his group find clues or encounter enemies.

Instead, he chose to focus his energy on further refining his research in astrology.

Although she has only average talent in this area,

However, the crystal ball gifted by Lin Qi contained a wealth of cosmic images.

Inside the crystal ball, the stars are exceptionally clear and ever-changing.

Therefore, even if she lacks natural talent, Da Siming can still quickly improve her skills.

Previously in Xianyang, her astrology skills were only at the intermediate level of the third rank, but she quickly rose to the initial level of the fifth rank.

After arriving here, she continued her practice.

He successfully reached and surpassed his own limitations, advancing to the fifth intermediate level.

Next, based on the various subtle clues left at the scene, she used astrology to deduce some useful information.

At this point, her astrology skills were only at the higher fifth level.

The results obtained are not absolutely certain.

I only vaguely felt that these clues might be related to the neighboring counties or villages.

Moreover, it's hard to say whether this is entirely accurate.

Therefore, the Grand Master of Fate only made this suggestion and did not provide a complete guarantee.

Is it possible to investigate the surrounding villages?

at this time.

A deep, resonant voice rang out from not far away.

A tall, strong man with a gait as swift as a dragon leaping and a tiger bounding towards them.

Upon seeing the other person,

Yao Jia and the others bowed slightly in salute, "Greetings, General Meng Wu!" Indeed, this man was Meng Wu, a Heaven-level expert from the army!

There are many outstanding individuals within the military.

Among these people, Meng Wu's strength ranks among the top.

But the strongest among them is none other than the renowned general Wang Jian! Of course, no matter how important this matter is, it's not to the point of needing to deploy Wang Jian.

Upon arriving, Meng Wu said to Yao Jia, "Searching aimlessly across vast mountain ranges may be futile. Instead, the surrounding towns and villages are worth exploring."

Yao Jia agreed, saying, "This is indeed a feasible approach."

"I will immediately arrange for the 'Black Ice Guard' personnel to gather intelligence on the surrounding cities and villages." "However, the specific execution will depend on General Meng Wu's organization."

Meng Wu nodded seriously and replied, "I can dispatch soldiers to various places to investigate." "If there are no other questions, let's get started now."

After speaking, Yao Jia was about to turn around and give specific instructions when...

However, two "whoosh" sounds came from afar, approaching...

Two figures quickly approached this side.

"They are two experts!"

Upon seeing this, Meng Wu and the others immediately stared intently at the newcomer, their eyes filled with vigilance.

Even the weapons in their hands were ready.

In case this is the arrival of hostile forces, we can launch a swift attack.

On the other side, the Great Master of Fate frowned slightly.

Then, she relaxed in surprise.

She sensed that the astrological items she was wearing were beginning to react.

Her eyes snapped open slightly, and she quickly exclaimed, "They're our fellow travelers!" Just as her words fell,

The two people in the distance had already arrived in front of them.

A man and a woman came with the wind.

The men's capes rustled, exuding unparalleled handsomeness; the women's skirts swayed gracefully, revealing breathtaking beauty.

The two descended slowly, like a divine couple descending from the heavens.

Everyone present was stunned by what they saw.

"What a perfect couple!"

The amazement in everyone's hearts was hard to contain.

Upon seeing this, a hint of envy flashed in the eyes of the High Priest.

But this emotion only lingered briefly before being concealed.

A voice then rang out: "It's Yan Fei and Lin Qi!" The newcomers were indeed Yan Fei and Lin Qi.

After a long and arduous journey, we finally arrived safely.

"Lin Qi!"

Yao Jia also spotted Lin Qi and quickly greeted him.

"Is this the somewhat famous young man from the Black Ice Guard?"

Meng Wu also had some understanding of Lin Qi.

As Lin Qi landed lightly, he walked straight towards the crowd.

"Commander!" He nodded to Yao Jia.

Then he turned his gaze to Meng Wu, who was standing to the side, his eyes shining brightly, "General Meng Wu!"

He slightly raised both fists to show respect.

Meng Wu was a general with outstanding military achievements and was indeed worthy of respect.

Meng Wu responded with a smile and a nod to show his respect.

Then, Lin Qi turned his gaze to the High Priestess, and said with a light laugh, "High Priestess, long time no see." The High Priestess pursed her lips and nodded gently in reply, "All is well!"

After answering Lin Qihou.

The Grand Master of Fate turned to Consort Yan and gave her a slight bow: "Consort Yan!" Consort Yan nodded in return, and then walked to the Grand Master of Fate's side.

With so many eyes watching her, she naturally couldn't stay close to Lin Qi.

Therefore, he could only stand next to the Grand Master of Fate.

"This is the Yin-Yang Master, 'Dongjun'!"

Seeing this, Meng Wu's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

He sensed a powerful aura emanating from Yan Fei.

"He has at least the combat strength of the peak of the second level of the Celestial Realm, and perhaps even more!"

"The Yin-Yang School is indeed unfathomable!"

This thought arose in his mind, and he was deeply moved by it.

At this time,

Yao Jia's voice rang out again: "Lin Qi, I remember you should still be handling things at headquarters in Xianyang, right? Why are you here suddenly?"

Yao Jia clearly remembered that he had ordered Lin Qi to temporarily handle the affairs of the Black Ice Station.

But why is Lin Qi here now?

This left him somewhat puzzled and unable to let it go.

Lin Qi turned to Yao Jia without hesitation: "Something has indeed happened, but I'll go into the details later."

"Most importantly, I know the secret location of the royal resources, and I came here specifically to tell everyone."

These words surprised everyone present.

"Lin Qi, have you really found the location where the royal secret resources are hidden?"

Yao Jia's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, eagerly asking questions.

This is no small matter!

On one hand, the Black Ice Platform lost its fourth leader and several powerful figures, which caused Yao Jia great distress and fueled his deep-seated hatred for the enemy.

on the other hand,

The whereabouts of a large amount of royal supplies remain unknown, and no clues have been found, which makes Yao Jia extremely anxious.

This batch of supplies is enormous and involves the interests of the entire Black Ice Platform.
