My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 147 Mineral Lode
Inside the first-class cabin of a flight.

Zhou Ping closed his eyes and thought, but he was not thinking about the case, but about his future training plan. According to the formation spirit, there were less than ten years left before the largest spiritual energy wave swept through. During this period of time, he must become the Holy Son of the Taiyan Sect, so as to fully control the spacecraft, and then he could escape from the earth calmly.

This is the general direction.

But with his current speed of cultivation, he has become a foundation-building cultivator in less than a year, and even a supreme foundation-building cultivator. If he continues to practice step by step, it would be a waste of such a good advantage.

Moreover.

He also has a virtual frame of national destiny.

The one inside is going to ascend the throne and become emperor.

But until now, he still has not officially become emperor. Although he has all the necessary national destiny points, Zhou Ping feels that the virtual frame has definitely not been fully tapped. After all, so far, the virtual frame only provides national destiny points. Although these national destiny points are already very powerful and can be used to deduce and improve spiritual roots, skills, and techniques, he believes that the virtual frame is not just for this purpose.

So within this decade.

He has to prepare for the future.

When the plane was about to arrive in Kyoto, Zhou Ping had made a rough plan.

The first thing is to obtain as many treasures and resources as possible from the ancient ruins. Once the seal of the earth is broken and the powerful forces that destroyed the Taiyan Sect arrive, the resources, treasures and the like in the ancient ruins will fall into their hands. So even if it means robbing, we must get them. These are the precious heritage left by our ancestors and cannot fall into the hands of those extraterrestrial practitioners.

The second thing is to train more talents to lay the foundation for leaving the earth and opening up a new home in the future. Now he has a lot of spirit stones in his hands, more than he can spend. In addition, he is the captain of the emergency team, with money, resources, connections and status, so he can definitely do this. It just so happens that Chen Xue has already proposed it, so let her do it first, and he will just steer and control it from behind.

The last thing is his own cultivation strength. He should try to become a Golden Core or even Nascent Soul level ancestor before leaving. Only in this way can he plunder the things in the ancient ruins. Otherwise, there are some treasures that he will not even be qualified to touch.

For example, the fairy fire seeds of Afang Palace depend on the Phoenix Fairy.

“Time is very tight!”

Open your eyes.

Zhou Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Less than ten years.

He has too much to do, and now a small case takes up a lot of his energy.

"Looks like I need to talk to Director Wang."

He can keep his identity as the Special Section Chief, but he thinks it would be better for him to step down as the emergency team leader. It's not that he doesn't want to contribute, but there are too many things to consider in this position. Another reason is that he is not good at criminal investigation. Someone else, such as Captain Wu, will do a better job than him.

Think of this.

Zhou Ping made a decision in his mind.

moment.

Landing.

After leaving the airport.

The car arranged by Director Wang is already waiting.

Come to the General Administration.

The two went directly to Director Wang's office.

And saw Zhou Ping.

Director Wang said apologetically, "Zhou Ping, I hope I didn't disturb you by asking you to come here so late at night."

Zhou Ping waved his hand and said, "Director Wang, you're too polite. If you have something to say, just say it directly."

"it is good."

Director Wang still admired Zhou Ping's personality. He didn't use any polite words or talk about social etiquette. He spoke directly and said, "Asking you to come here is another matter."

As he said this, he handed the photo on the table to Zhou Ping.

There are many large machines in the photo, which seem to be digging and mining minerals.

"Director Wang, what is this?"

"South Africa."

"South Africa?"

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment, then thought of what Director Wang had said to Evil King Tang on the Antarctic spaceship. His eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, "Could it be a spirit stone mine?"

The eyes of Jiang Xia, who was standing next to him with a heroic look, also lit up.

Practitioners cannot live without spirit stones.

This natural mineral vein can not only be used as currency, but also as a huge source of spiritual energy. It has too many uses, such as setting up formations, providing magical instruments, feeding spiritual pets, etc., and it can also be used for the practice of monks.

It’s a pity that no spirit stone mine has been discovered so far. All the spirit stones used in the world now come from space ships, so they are very precious. Even a Taoist genius like Jiang Xia doesn’t have many on him.

Director Wang shook his head. "Whether it's a spirit stone mine or not is still unclear. The Evil King Tang has guarded that place very strictly and even set up a formation. I sent several people to infiltrate, but they were all discovered. The reason I asked you to come is that other countries have recently sent people there, and it seems that they have made important discoveries. The country is in chaos right now, and I have to stay in charge. So after much deliberation, I can only ask you to go!"

Zhou Ping said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go."

If it is really a spirit stone mine, then this trip will really make a fortune. As for the top powerhouses such as the Evil King Tang and Captain America, he may have been afraid of them before, but now with his strength soaring, especially after mastering the human-shaped scroll of the Fire Sutra, he has been able to achieve preliminary control over the fairy fire, so he no longer takes them seriously.

Director Wang laughed heartily. "Alright, I'm relieved to have you over there. You don't have to worry about the Blood Evil Talisman case. I'll be watching it from beginning to end. This case won't be solved overnight."

Zhou Ping nodded. Before leaving, he explained his intention to resign as leader of the emergency response team. "Director Wang, please don't worry. It's not that I don't want to take responsibility, but I'm considering the Special Branch. When it comes to solving cases, investigating, and coordinating, I'm not as good as Captain Wu. Also, time is running out before the Earth crisis, so I want to focus on my cultivation..."

heard this explanation.

Director Wang's expression relaxed a bit. He was well aware of the pressure of the earth crisis. The national security base plan was already more than halfway through and would be completed by the end of next year. Although the country would be more chaotic during this period, for the sake of the overall situation, it had to be pushed forward.

The special department is of paramount importance, as it is the key to maintaining domestic order.

"Zhou Ping."

"I understand your concerns, but not everyone can be the leader of the emergency response team. You are a leader among the younger generation in the country. If you don't take the position, who will? Furthermore, if you resign as leader, what will the other members of the Special Section think? Will they think that I, the General Administration, am suppressing young people?"

Seeing Zhou Ping about to speak, Director Wang interrupted him, "So, you will continue to take on the position of captain. As for the work, I will talk to Wu Tianming and ask him to assist you as much as possible. Also, if there is any news about the ancient ruins, I will notify you."

The last sentence clearly shows that Director Wang knows what Zhou Ping is thinking.

In fact, as the director of the special department, Director Wang naturally did not want to miss out on the resources and treasures of the ancient ruins. Apart from anything else, Zhou Ping's ability to break through the foundation so quickly and become a strong man was mostly due to the credit of the ancient ruins. Director Wang was clear about this.

So he has been striving for this these days.

Fortunately, considering the importance of the Special Section and the overall situation such as the Earth crisis ten years later, the higher-ups finally agreed that the Special Section could get involved in the exploration of the ancient ruins, but only a small number of people were allowed, and they could no longer dispatch members there at will as before.

Seeing that Director Wang said so.

Zhou Ping couldn't insist any further and could only nod and agree, "Director Wang, do the higher-ups really agree to allow our Special Branch to participate in the exploration of ancient ruins?"

Director Wang nodded. "Even if you didn't mention resigning today, I would have told you that the ancient ruins are of great importance and cannot be monopolized by the three major groups. You and Jiang Xia can pay attention to this aspect in the future. However, I must remind you that if you obtain some resources from the ancient ruins, you should also consider the Special Section."

He glared at Zhou Ping and said, "You can't eat alone all the time."

Zhou Ping smiled awkwardly. The ruins of Qingcheng and Afang Palace were all obtained by him. The Special Department and the three major groups didn't even get a sip. But they didn't want him to do this, after all, Afang Palace was so dangerous.

"All right."

"You and Jiang Xia can rest at the headquarters tonight. I will arrange a fighter plane to take you to South Africa tomorrow morning." "Yes, Director Wang."

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when I came out of the office.

Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia didn't talk much and went back to their respective dormitories to meditate.

The next day.

The two flew to South Africa on a fighter plane.

Director Wang originally planned to send some entourage to help, but was rejected by Zhou Ping. He and Jiang Xia were very strong in themselves, and bringing other people would be a burden. If a real fight broke out, they would have to take care of them.

hum.

The fighter jet is an intelligent fighter jet.

There is no driver.

The two were not worried that anything would happen to the battle plane, after all, they were both wearing magical weapons and battle suits.

More than two hours later.

The fighter jets arrived in the sea area near South Africa.

Boom boom.

But it hasn't reached the shore yet.

The fighter plane was attacked by the ship.

A large amount of artillery fire directly locked onto the target.

Zhou Ping saw the star-shaped pattern on the warship, snorted coldly, and flipped his palm. The Zixiao sword was unsheathed and turned into a purple light, instantly shattering the shells, and then slashed towards several warships on the sea.

"Damn it!"

“There are practitioners inside!”

"Abandon ship, abandon ship!"

A lot of shouts came one after another, but unfortunately these arrogant guys had no power to resist the attack of the magic weapon, and were pierced and sunk by the purple light in an instant.

Soon.

The fighter jets arrived at their destination in South Africa.

This is a mountain range.

The heart of the mountain range has been hollowed out. Originally, this place was where diamonds were mined, but later it was occupied by the evil king Tang. The other party did not know how he managed to discover a vein containing spiritual energy from within the diamond vein.

At first, the evil king Tang blocked the news, but after a long time, he could no longer hide it.

Especially when they were on the Antarctic spaceship, Director Wang mentioned the South African mineral veins, which caused all the forces of various countries to focus here. However, the Evil King Tang is indeed capable. Until now, all countries have no idea what is inside.

laugh.

Get out of the fighter plane.

The two of them activated their magical armor and floated above the mine.

Whoosh whoosh.

Almost instantly.

Many members of the evil organization surrounded Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia.

Zhou Ping didn't even glance at them. His gaze fell on a camp south of the mine, and his psychic power vibrated out. "Evil King Tang, are you planning to send this group of minions to welcome my Special Department?"

He once had to put in a lot of effort to kill the deputy leader of an evil organization in Beiyuan City, but now he is no longer the same.

"As expected, he's the number one in spaceship combat power."

Evil King Tang came flying over, his magical instrument in hand. The sleeves of his Taoist robe fluttered, and the others dispersed. "Zhou Ping, your temper has gotten worse since you became a Foundation Establishment."

Whoosh.

Zhou Ping was about to speak when he suddenly sensed three powerful spiritual senses sweeping over him. He snorted, and the magic power on his body evaporated, blocking the spiritual senses. Turning his eyes, he saw Captain America Nabison, the Sea Devil Gentleman, the Sword Flower Queen and others coming over with magic weapons.

Foundation-building cultivators can already withstand the gravity of the earth and fly in the air, but the speed is relatively slow and it consumes a lot of mana. If they use magic tools, they will save mana and the speed will be very fast, almost as fast as ordinary civil aircraft, but compared with magic tool battle suits, the speed is still a bit slower.

Captain Nabisson laughed heartily, "Your Director Wang didn't come, but sent a rising star like you here instead. Don't you intend to fight for the things in this mine?"

Evil King Tang said, "Nabisen, whether Zhou Ping fights for it or not, it has nothing to do with you. This mine belongs to my Holy Society..."

Watching the two people arguing.

Zhou Ping sneered inwardly. Before, when these two guys faced Director Wang, they often vented their anger at each other, but now they started arguing for their own interests.

The Sword Flower Queen said coldly, "If you want to argue, go to the side, Evil King Tang. Now that all the nations have arrived, it's time for you to tell us what's underneath the mine. Don't ask us to explore together!"

The sea devil gentleman, wearing a tuxedo, said with a smile, "Yes, the treasure should be shared by everyone. Evil King Tang, at least let us all see it."

Zhou Ping didn't say anything and had no plans to take action right now. After all, he didn't know what was under the mine. If it was really a spirit stone mine, it would be his and no one could take it away!

Xie Wangtang had a cold face.

But his face was twitching. He knew that if he didn't stop it, there would be no peace.

"Row."

"Everyone, my Holy Society has always been committed to making friends with all Taoists. I hope you will not embarrass me when the time comes. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Whoosh.

He flicked his sleeves and flew straight towards the entrance of the mine.

Captain America, the Sword Flower Queen, the Sea Devil Gentleman, and other strong men from various countries followed closely behind, and suddenly rays of light pierced into the deep black mine.

The mines are interconnected.

Moreover, the further they flew downwards, the denser the spiritual energy became. They could even sense a breath as sharp as a knife. It was this breath that blocked everyone's consciousness. If they delayed outside for even a moment, they would feel their spirits being torn apart.

"What's inside?"

Not only Zhou Ping was surprised, but the other practitioners were also surprised.

But now they all followed the Evil King Tang patiently.

"Jiang Xia, remember to stay close to me. This evil king Tang is no pushover!"

Zhou Ping transmitted the message.

Jiang Xia nodded heavily.

The things under the mine must be treasures, otherwise the Evil King Tang would not be so nervous. Therefore, Zhou Ping did not believe that the other party would take them there so easily.
