Chapter 150 Ancient Ruins
"Get out! Is this a place you can come from?"

Even knowing that he was sent by the Leizhou branch, the baby-faced deputy captain still said the same thing.

"No, the administration said I was assigned to Team Three, the team with Brother Lu and Brother Qin. You guys are Team Three, right?"

Xie Lingxin pointed innocently at Lu Lu and Qin Ye.

Both Lu and Qin wanted to hide.

They were already aware of the administrative arrangements, otherwise they wouldn't have sent the two of them to pick up Xie Lingxin.

Each environmental protection bureau has its own specific responsibilities.

They are frontline sanitation workers, yet they still have to follow the arrangements made by the authorities.

They knew it, but they were also aware of it.

When the team members find out that the "support" who came was only one person, and a child at that, they will definitely take their anger out on the two of them who brought the person back.

That's why I kept trying to avoid Xie Lingxin's gaze.

Sure enough, everyone in the team turned their angry gazes toward the two of them.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to get out?!"

The baby-faced man went beyond simply scolding; he directly used his mental powers.

A strange light flashed in Xie Lingxin's eyes, and she vaguely saw a large python writhing inside, flicking its red tongue.

The next moment, I felt a tightness all over my body.

It was as if a giant python had wrapped itself around him, trying to drag him out.

What a unique spiritual power.

In the past, what he encountered were just illusions or mental disturbances.

Even Xiao Yan, whose spirit left his body, could not do what he did, forcibly binding his physical body as if it were a physical entity.

This is not a simple use of mental power; it must have involved some kind of extraordinary technique.

but……

You guys started it!
the second time!
Xie Lingxin was not angry but pleased.

The moment the thought arose, the Yin Thunder, like a lightning snake, coursed through his entire body.

Intangible things such as evil spirits and mental thoughts are most afraid of thunder.

The baby-faced man was struck dumb, his whole body trembled violently, and his face visibly turned pale.

In fact, if the opponent had used physical strength, he would have been somewhat wary, and it wouldn't have been so easy to deal with, since his physical cultivation was only at the second level.

Although he is considered outstanding among his peers, none of these people are his peers.

They all looked at least seven or eight years older than him.

Xie Lingxin now understands.

In the twelfth heaven, the cultivation level of cultivators in the Federation can often be determined by their age.

Because of the Federation's development in the path of cultivation, there are basically no secrets.

It basically boils down to four things: talent, resources, effort, and time.

When talent and effort are roughly equal, as long as resources are sufficient, there's no reason to stagnate; all that's left is to wait out the inevitable.

Under normal circumstances, a practitioner with intermediate-level aptitude like him would probably need to be at least 27 or 8 years old, or even over 30, to reach the third level of enlightenment.

A person with excellent potential can achieve this at a maximum age of just over 20.

People like Chen Jinxin are exceptional cases among exceptional cases; they are definitely of the highest caliber.

Although the Donghai branch is full of troublemakers, troublemakers often have outstanding individuals.

There are definitely many strong individuals among these people.

That woman made him feel threatened.

However, the baby-faced girl in front of me is clearly not one of them.

Xie Lingxin, seemingly unaware of what had happened, said with a grin, "No, I can't leave. The director told me to come and help you."

"We're all colleagues, so I certainly won't refuse. If you have any difficulties, just say so! If I, Xie Lingxin, utter even a single word of refusal, I'm no hero!"

Seeing him swearing an oath with his chest, everyone felt something was off.

The words were kind, but why did they sound so irritating?

"Deputy Captain?!"

At this moment, it seemed that everyone belatedly realized the baby-faced man's unusual appearance.

After catching her breath, the baby-faced Tong Huohuo raised her hand to block the view and said seriously, "I'm fine! I was just angry and got a stitch in my side!"

His eyes flickered slightly, looking at Xie Lingxin with suspicion and uncertainty.

what happened?

Did he do it?

He was certain that Xie Lingxin had done it, but he didn't know what methods she had used.

The "Python Heavenly Dragon" he cultivated himself originated from the lineage of "Shamanic Spirits" from ancient times.

In the present Federation, "shamanic practices" have become their own distinct tradition, more complete and far-reaching than in ancient times.

It's not just about cultivating one's own spiritual power, but also about merging with the spirits and demons.

A shaman is someone who becomes a disciple of a spirit or monster, serving its purposes.

But this lineage now completely uses spirits and monsters for its own purposes, making it incomparable to what it used to be.

Because this path of cultivation integrates the spirits of both, the spiritual power of the practitioner far surpasses that of other practitioners at the same level.

Tong Huohuo couldn't believe that he was already at the third level of the Mind Realm, and that this person who looked only a teenager actually had a higher level of mental cultivation than him.

In the entire Far East region, he could only think of one person who could possess such spiritual cultivation at this age: the exceptionally talented daughter of Chen from Leizhou.

For such a small place as Leizhou to produce a genius of this caliber is already a stroke of luck. Could there possibly be a second one?

Totally impossible!
This is why he remained doubtful even when the facts were right in front of him.

Even the parties involved weren't sure, so it was even less likely that others would notice anything unusual between the two.

They assumed Tong Huohuo was genuinely angered by the Leizhou branch's actions and Xie Lingxin's behavior. Only the woman called the captain seemed to understand the situation.

He glanced at Xie Lingxin thoughtfully for a few moments before finally speaking, "Alright, since you're here, join the team."

"team leader!"

Everyone was startled. Tong Huohuo was about to say something more, but one glance from her made him shut his mouth in fright.

"Your name is Xie Lingxin, right?"

"hold head high!"

Do you know what we're going to do?

"I do not know."

You didn't say anything, how would I know?
There are many strong women in the Environmental Protection Bureau, so Xie Lingxin wasn't surprised that there was another female team leader here.

This woman's appearance... isn't particularly beautiful, let alone compared to the likes of Jin Su or Chen Jinxin.

She can't even compare to the girl with glasses.

But... she just has a captivating charm.

How to put it... it's a bit like aged wine, with its mellow and fragrant aroma that can captivate even those who don't like drinking.

This is not just a matter of temperament, but rather a natural influence on the spirit of those around you when one's spiritual cultivation reaches a certain level.

Xie Lingxin asked herself if she had reached that level yet.

This woman must have at least the fourth level of spiritual cultivation.
As for comparing him to Kim So-bi... that's impossible.

Once you reach the level of the Golden Essence, there is absolutely no possibility of any leakage of mental power that could affect the outside world.

My sister is charming, purely because of her good looks and cool personality!
“Lulu, tell him on the way.”

"……Yes!"

Compared to Qin Ye, Lu Lu was obviously easier to talk to, and Hong Xiao was not someone who would make a casual remark.

Once the captain spoke, no one dared to voice their opinions, even if they had any.

But in private, he wouldn't give Xie Lingxin a friendly look.

The group hurriedly left the building and got into several cars.

Xie Lingxin was naturally with Lu Lu, Qin Ye, and another person, Tong Huohuo.

This baby-faced person came over on their own initiative.

Xie Lingxin guessed that he didn't believe in superstitions and wanted to keep a close eye on her.

Qin Ye was driving, and Tong Huohuo was sitting in the passenger seat.

Xie Lingxin listened to Lu Lu recount the mission to her from behind.

"Our destination this time is Bailang Beach..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Lingxin interrupted him: "Is that the entrance to the Dragon Palace Banquet?"

Qin Ye, who was driving, couldn't help but sneer, "What are you thinking? If we really go to the Dragon Palace Banquet, do you think I can take you?"

"Kid, you didn't come to Donghai with this intention, hoping to crash a Dragon Palace banquet at our Donghai branch, did you?"

"Hehe, you've got the wrong idea."

Tong Huohuo, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced sideways at Xie Lingxin.

Silently chanting to myself: Explode, explode, explode...

He wanted to see exactly how Xie Lingxin had broken free from his Python Heavenly Dragon's restraints.

Once he figures it out, he will never suffer the same loss again!

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingxin only chuckled and then said nothing more.

Useless things!
Lu Lu chuckled dryly, "Well, Bailang Beach was just an ordinary beach, but that was before."

"Not long ago, we received news that a group of independent cultivators from out of town had clashed with several local gangs there,"

"Qin Ye and I went to investigate last night and discovered that the reason for their conflict was the discovery of an ancient tomb nearby, which is very likely from ancient times,"

"In other words, there might be an ancient ruin there!"

"That's why the captain brought us all out today. If it's proven to be an ancient relic later, sanitation workers from other teams will also arrive. We must ensure the safety of the Bailangtan area."

Xie Lingxin immediately understood upon hearing this.

Ancient ruins!

This is a discovery second only to the Realm Realm in value!
Sometimes it can even exceed that!
No wonder there was such a scene.

"When we get there, don't wander off. Stay close to us."

Lu Lu cautioned, "After all, it might be an ancient relic. If it's confirmed, even if we're a federal department, those people won't give us any face."

"Moreover, those outside rogue cultivators are very likely to be evil cultivators! If they fall into their hands, they will not have a good ending."

An ancient site can indeed tempt people to take risks.

They wouldn't hesitate to go against the Environmental Protection Bureau, or even kill someone.

They're from the same department, after all. Even if they don't like people from the branch office, they wouldn't want to see him get into trouble.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll definitely keep up!"

Looking at Xie Lingxin's appearance, Tong Huohuo in front of her was somewhat doubtful. Was it really him who broke free from the python dragon just now?
It doesn't look like it at all...

……

Bailang Beach should actually be called Baisha Beach.

The beaches here are all white sand, looking like they're covered in snow.

Interspersed among them were patches of black reefs.

"Stop all roads and prevent anyone from entering or leaving!"

Upon arrival, Hongxiao immediately began assigning tasks.

"Tong Huohuo, has the scripture teacher I asked you to contact arrived yet?"
