Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Time has come

May 7th, Qiandao Lake, Hangzhou

On the small island in the center of the lake,

Zhou Nanbei and the others gathered here, and Fatty Wang chuckled, "Young Master Zhou, it's been more than two years since we've seen Xiaoqing."

"Just release it already!"

Blackback Old Six said with a playful tone, "Why didn't you get enough of being whipped by the big tail?"

Now I've broken through to the Gang Jin level.

"It's more durable for smoking now?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Fatty Wang rolled his eyes at Black-backed Old Six:

"Go! Go! Go,

"I'm doing what I want, it's none of your business."

Zhou Nanbei shook his head and chuckled.

With a wave of his hand, a 300-meter-long azure-scaled python appeared on the water's surface.

The head, however, was displayed before everyone.

At this moment, the giant blue-scaled python realized what was happening and quickly looked around.

Seeing Zhou Nanbei in front of him,

It suddenly rushed in, hissing and hissing at the same time.

It seems to be saying,

Master, why did you let me out?

Chen Yulou chuckled: "This Xiaoqing has grown so much in such a short time."

Horns have sprouted from its head.

It seems your skills have improved significantly.

Fatty Wang raised his hand and patted the air around him.

Then he said, "Xiaoqing, you've been eating well these past two years."

Spitting out apricots,

It all smells so strongly of medicine.

He stepped forward and patted Xiaoqing on the shoulder: "Xiaoqing,

Do you still remember me, Fatty?

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing gave Fatty Wang a human-like glare.

It seems to be saying,

You filthy scoundrel.

Black-backed Lao Liu burst out laughing. Zhou Nanbei then spoke up, "Xiao Qing, from now on, this lake is your territory."

However, one cannot leave the lake.

Xiaoqing nodded in agreement.

Then it kept hissing.

Zhou Nanbei could naturally sense his urgency, so he said, "Don't worry, you'll get plenty of the medicine."

You've caused quite a bit of trouble these past two years.

You'd better guard this island in the middle well from now on.

Did you know?

Xiaoqing nodded upon hearing this, having received the promise.

Xiaoqing began to look around.

Although the interior space was better, it got a bit monotonous after a while. But after seeing such a large lake...

Xiao Qing flicked her tail.

He dived into the water and swam towards the outside.

Everyone looked at the huge shadow,

Sheng Sheng slowly began, "With Xiao Qing here,

Qiandao Lake today,

The underwater issues are now resolved. From now on, as long as we patrol the surface, we can rest easy.

Zhou Nanbei said with a smile:

"This is nothing."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and a black dragon about 500 meters long appeared before them.

At the same time, the dragon let out a roar.

The roar, like the bellow of a bull and the cry of a dragon, left Sheng Sheng Man and the others dumbfounded. Chen Yulou spoke up:

"Jiaolong?"

It's truly a dragon!

"Young Master Zhou, where did this dragon come from?"

The others also looked at Zhou Nanbei, who smiled and explained:

One year ago,

I didn't have much to do, so I went to the South China Sea for a trip.

Unexpectedly, in the deep sea,

Having encountered such a powerful and turbulent dragon, and driven by a hunting spirit, he subdued it.

This year,

It's been kept in the space all along, so you didn't know.

Then he introduced, "This dragon is called Xuanqing."

He then pointed at the crowd and said, "These are all our people."

Don't hurt people indiscriminately.

Got it?

The dragon nodded, and at the same time let out another roar.

Zhou Nanbei smiled gently:

You mean Xiaoqing? It swam away.

This lake is your territory; you must help me protect these islands from now on.

in addition,

You can't go outside the lake without permission, understand?

The dragon nodded.

He turned and dove into the water, seemingly to find Xiaoqing.

Once everything is done,

Zhou Nanbei looked at Zuo Ci: "Senior Zuo Ci,

How is the feng shui formation going?

Everyone looked at Zuo Ci, who chuckled and said:

"Preparations are almost complete."

All that's missing is Little Moon Spirit returning to her position.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly and said, "Haha, let's go then."

Let go of it as soon as possible

"And one day we can transform Qiandao Lake into a sacred place for cultivation."

Everyone nodded.

They walked together toward the center of the island.

.........

From the sky, you can see the central island.

There is a huge Hui-style building

The waterside pavilions and terraces were the residence of Zhou Nanbei and Sheng Sheng Man.

Further outwards,

Those were also Hui-style buildings, the residences of Fatty Wang, Black-backed Old Six, Chen Yulou, and others.

It can be said,

Zhou Nanbei's core members mostly live on the central island.

.........

Fifteen minutes later,

Inside Zhou Nanbei's residence, the group gathered around a large pond.

There is a stone platform in the middle of the pool.

Zuo Ci looked at Zhou Nanbei: "Young Master Zhou,"

Please trouble the little moon spirit.

Place it on the central stone platform.

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Nanbei conjured Little Moon Spirit into existence on the stone platform.

Zuo Ci saw this,

They also began to manipulate incantations, and an enormous transparent light barrier began to rise.

Then it gradually spread outwards.

The array's protective light barrier disappeared after covering the numerous islands that resembled a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation.

Zuo Ci also stopped what he was doing.

He explained, "This formation was deduced by the old Taoist priest over a year."

Arranged according to the actual situation on site.

This formation has three effects: firstly, it seals off the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Let the primordial energy of heaven and earth,

It won't leak outside the island; after Little Moon Soul receives the moonlight, the first thing it will cover is this central island.

Then it spread to the outer islands.

If the vital energy of heaven and earth is not leaked, it will ensure that the vital energy of heaven and earth within Qiandao Lake continues to increase.

Until it becomes a true sacred place for cultivation.

He paused, then added, "Secondly, this formation can also..."

This serves as a warning to us.

If any outsiders intrude, the island's protective array will activate, making our base even safer.

Hearing this, Zhou Nanbei nodded in satisfaction: "Okay."

In this way, there are Xiaoqing and Xuanqing underwater, and patrolling people on the surface.

In addition to this formation

Our base camp is as sturdy as a tortoise shell.

Then he asked, "And what about the third effect?"

Zuo Ci stroked his long beard.

Then he said, "The third effect is primarily to gather wealth, and it also has the added benefit of concealing unusual phenomena."

The Little Moon Spirit's true form is a toad.

The old Taoist priest casually arranged this, and from then on, our Thousand Island Lake will surely enjoy great fortune.

Everyone nodded slightly.

.........

As evening fell, Zhou Nanbei and Sheng Sheng sat slowly in the courtyard.

Looking into the courtyard,

A silvery-white pillar of light rose up; it was Little Moon Spirit drawing in the moonlight.

Zhou Nanbei looked at Sheng Shengman and said, "Sister Man,"

This strange phenomenon is quite impressive.

If it weren't for the feng shui formation set up by Senior Zuo Ci, the common people outside would probably be bowing down in worship.

Sheng Sheng Man smiled gently:

"You know, this isn't the first time these strange phenomena have happened today."

Come over here.

Let's take a look together and send invitations to those forces, since there are some I'm not entirely sure about.

"You can help me give some advice."

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly and stepped forward: "Haha, Sister Man,"

I haven't hidden anything from you about this, big or small. How could you possibly be unsure?

Sheng Sheng Man shook his head helplessly: "That's one way of saying it."

But just a few days ago,

I received a lot of messages, all from Grandpa Zhou's old friends or contacts.

Which invitations,

I can't tell which ones I won't invite.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nanbei was slightly taken aback: "Their information network is quite extensive."

Let me take a look.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and casually picked up a letter.

Open it,

His mouth gaped slightly: "This... Grandpa actually..."

Is there any connection to the Zhang family overseas?

Seeing Zhou Nanbei's surprise, Sheng Shengman couldn't help but ask:

You don't even care that much about Xiao Nanbei from the Zhang family's main branch?

An overseas Zhang family,

What's so surprising about you?

Zhou Nanbei shook his head slightly: "It's different. This Zhang family member from overseas..."

He was the manager of one of the Zhang family's four major archives.

Her name is Zhang Haiqi, and if you calculate her age, she's over two hundred years old, and she has pure Qilin blood.

He touched his head as he spoke:

"I do know Zhang Haiqi, but when did Grandpa get involved with her?"

That shouldn't be the case.

As he spoke, a flood of doubts welled up in his mind.
