I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

Lei Yao readily agreed.

"You've mastered the methods I taught you last time for identifying and detecting dragon energy, right?" Bai Lin asked again.

Lei Yao gave his answer, word by word.

"Good," Bai Lin said with satisfaction, pointing to the information Liu Sheng had brought. "Starting the day after tomorrow, you will lead a group to visit all these ruins and see if there are any places where dragon energy exists."

“Carefully select personnel; if those individuals make outstanding contributions,” Bai Lin continued, “it’s not impossible to give them the opportunity to become Dragon Guards.”

"I thank Mr. Bai on their behalf," Lei Yao said gratefully.

Following Director Zhao's instructions, he brought some of his former subordinates with him on this trip up the mountain.

We have a very deep bond.

Although becoming a Dragon Guard means losing your freedom, the benefits are even more obvious.

He would be more than happy to give these old subordinates a chance.

"Go practice what I just taught you again." Bai Lin waved his paw, indicating that he could leave.

Suddenly, only Bai Lin and Guan Mi remained inside the Dragon Palace.

Guan Mi had already prepared the fruit, and when Bai Lin finished his work, he eagerly offered it to him.

Bai Lin squinted and ate three white-fleshed dragon fruits in a row.

After feeling the girl's attentive massage, he asked, "Just tell me what's on your mind."

Guan Mi is simply not the type to keep things to himself.

If she has nothing to do, she will chatter on and on, talking about everything from interesting things in the mountains to the dogs her family kept when she was a child.

On the contrary, she suddenly became less talkative, which must mean she has something on her mind.

“Mr. Bai, let me go get that jade artifact from the Daying Museum for you.” Guan Mi hesitated for several seconds before finally saying, “I want to help you with your work.”

“You can draw a talisman for me,” Bai Lin said.

“But…” Guan Mi still felt that drawing talismans was like fooling a child.

She wanted to do something impressive, to demonstrate her abilities as a Dragon Head Guard, and to give Bai Lin some face.

“Others don’t have the talent for drawing talismans,” Bai Lin said.

“Moreover, I need talismans that can sense dragon energy so that ordinary people can also find dragon energy,” Bai Lin said seriously. “This is very important.”

"A talisman that senses dragon energy?" Guan Mi asked in surprise.

Bai Lin nodded: "I'll teach you in a bit."

If Guan Mi hadn't mentioned drawing talismans earlier, he would have almost overlooked this point.

After all, this kind of talisman is rarely used within the Dragon Transformation Sect.

It was once very popular when the sect had just arrived in Xuzhou. The cultivators in the sect used this talisman to mobilize the power of the human dynasty to search for the dragon tomb.

Unfortunately, as the dragon tomb was largely excavated, these talismans were gradually abandoned.

Bai Lin had never seen it before, but he knew the principle behind it, so it wasn't difficult to replicate this low-level talisman.

Guan Mi's spirits immediately lifted: "I will definitely study hard!"

She had long noticed Bai Lin's interest in dragon energy, and she was clearly the perfect candidate to create such talismans.

“Dragon energy is of great use to me,” Bai Linduo explained to her.

"Dragon energy?" Guan Mi asked in surprise. "Could it be that Mr. Bai is interested in dragon energy, rather than the dragon itself?"

"What do you think?" Bai Lin looked at her.

“I thought Mr. Bai could follow the dragon’s trail and return to where you belonged,” Guan Mi said softly.

This is her true secret.

Bai Lin smiled and said, "This is where I belong."

Having been back on Earth for so long, he has now come to terms with it.

He was originally an Earthling, and this was his home!

Guan Mi sensed the sincerity in his tone and was immediately overjoyed. He grabbed the white dragon's paw and chuckled foolishly.

Bai Lin looked up towards the direction of the Dragon Palace gate.

A knock on the door followed immediately.

Guan Mi quickly stood up straight, glanced at Bai Lin, and called out, "Please come in."

Zhang Yu left but returned.

He found a red string from somewhere, hung the amulet around his neck, and his face was filled with excitement.

"Mr. Bai, I've come up with a great idea, but I need Miss Guan's help!" Dr. Zhang said as soon as he entered.

Guan Mi asked in confusion, "What do you need my help with?"

Zhang Yu tried to calm himself down.

He first nodded to Guan Mi, then looked at Bai Lin and said solemnly, "Mr. Bai, we have been working day and night for the past few days, mobilizing several other laboratories to conduct thousands of experiments in an attempt to detect dragon energy..."

After quickly stating the problem, he changed the subject, saying, "I've thought of a way to increase the detection sensitivity. We can use the power of runes and combine it with our instruments..."

Zhang Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, clenching his fist and saying, "This will greatly reduce the difficulty. At most, I will be able to achieve results in six months, no, three months!"

Guan Mi blinked.

She suddenly remembered the talisman for detecting dragon energy that Bai Lin had mentioned to her not long ago.

If we had those talismans, would we need to go through all this trouble?

Of course you'll need it!

Bai Lin realized something else.

These talismans are all disposable, and they consume a considerable amount of various materials.

If it could be combined with the instrument Zhang Yu mentioned, it would resemble an array plate.

The array plate is a product that combines array formations with weapon crafting.

In his memory, there were similar things within the sect.

This kind of thing consumes far less and is much more cost-effective than talismans.

Especially given the limited resources on Earth.

Seeing Bai Lin nod, Zhang Yu was so excited he almost jumped up.

He has been spending a lot of time in the laboratory lately, and has even gone up the mountain less often. He had already discovered the problem.

Now that the problem is in sight, he feels a bright future beckoning him.

Guan Mi was still a little confused.

Why am I being asked to make talismans myself instead of cooperating with this guy?

Bai Lin guessed what she was thinking and said, "While you're making talismans, you can help him out at the same time."

Guan Mi then said "Oh".

After thanking the man and the dragon, Zhang Yu took his leave.

He was quite excited and planned to immediately adjust his research direction upon returning.

In addition, he also had to rush to write a report to apply for access to some core research staff.

These guys already know about the dragon's remains and often ask him about it, so they've already figured out some things.

Once they witness the wonders of runes, they will surely be able to make even more connections.

The existence of the White Dragon cannot be kept secret forever.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to let them gradually learn about the existence of the White Dragon, which would also make these guys more willing to work overtime to speed up the progress.

Thinking that Bai Long had agreed to his request without hesitation, he felt even more excited.

"Mr. Bai really does care about me!"

……

"Mr. Bai still cares about us!" Director Zhao said with emotion after receiving the gifts that Liu Chongyu had specially delivered.

If he hadn't just visited a few days ago, and hadn't heard from Guan Mi that Bai Long's whereabouts were uncertain and he might go out at any time in the next few days, he would have wanted to visit again to express his gratitude.

He carefully put away the several amulets.

He planned to give these things to the higher-ups for distribution.

He had heard Liu Chongyu explain its function and understood its importance.

With it, there's no need to worry about following in the footsteps of the wildly imaginative former island nation leader.

What surprised him most were the four sticks covered with strange patterns.

Their surfaces are pitted and uneven, and they are cold to the touch, yet they have the ability to control water flow.

Is it really that amazing?

Director Zhao immediately wanted someone to try it.

However, before starting the experiment, he remembered something else and said, "I heard that Jiangcheng has been experiencing heavy rain recently, and there is a risk of flooding?"

Liu Chongyu asked, "What does the director mean?"

"I'll go over there tomorrow and take a look. I happen to have a meeting there," Director Zhao said. "Good steel should be used where it's needed most. With such a treasure, of course we should use it to benefit the people."

"Director, you are truly dedicated to serving the people," Liu Chongyu said. "I must learn from you."

Director Zhao smiled.

The white dragon's power and its endless stream of methods constantly refreshed his understanding.

If one day, Bai Long said he would pluck the stars from the sky, he probably wouldn't be surprised.

But as it has been going out more and more frequently lately, the higher-ups of Great Xia have realized something.

The existence of this mythical creature cannot be hidden for long.

The good news is that this is the divine dragon of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it has close ties with the official authorities.

From a high-level perspective, knowing that the trend is unstoppable, it is natural to go with the flow and let the people gradually understand the extraordinary things it brings.

When it is finally exposed, at least the people will recognize and even worship this mythical totem.

That way, the relationship between the White Dragon and the Great Xia will be closer, and the negative impact it brings can be minimized, or even generate more positive significance.

It can also serve as a deterrent to those friendly nations with ulterior motives.

Since the last aircraft carrier capsized, Sam has appeared calm on the surface, but he has been making quite a few underhanded moves.

The island nation is also making its own efforts behind the scenes.

……

Chapter 87 The Power of the Water Control Flag

Liu Chongyu did not return to Yatoushan that day, but instead accompanied Director Zhao to Jiangcheng.

He had been really looking forward to this experience of being alone with a high-ranking leader.

But this time, the thought of not having time to greet Bai Long all day made him feel a little anxious and he wished he could leave immediately.

Four soldiers who had been transferred from Yatou Mountain accompanied them.

These four people have a new position.

Flag bearer!

……

The torrential rain washed the small flag that Liang Siyuan had dropped on the ground further and further away.

Standing in the mall, watching the flag drift with the water all the way to the underground tunnel, he looked regretful.

He has long since left his hometown.
