Chapter 545: Chapter 544: What Bad Intentions Could Shao Zifeng Possibly Have?

Several elders wore solemn expressions, and the elder in military attire quickly asked, "Is the news true?"

Secretary Sun replied, "Due to the special nature of the joint research team, they contacted the stationed joint legion at the Antarctic to assist with excavation immediately after receiving the message. Three hours ago, the joint legion found a rune-engraved stone slab beneath a circular Array Plate, and thirty minutes ago, the reproduced stone slab by the joint research team started to show energy reactions."

"The head of the joint research group in the underground base said that they can now basically confirm that the key to the teleportation array really is the underground Array Plate."

"Great!" the elder in military attire said excitedly, his face flushing red.

The vast and complex terrain of the Great Xia region had always posed a significant problem for troop deployment. As the military’s representative, the military-clad elder had extraordinary expectations for the teleportation array, so he was more excited than anyone else, "Great! This is fantastic! Shao Zifeng truly is our Great Xia’s lucky star."

The other elders also showed signs of happiness. The emergence of the teleportation array was epoch-making and had significant implications for the military, economy, and even civil life. If it could be popularized, it would bring a completely new landscape to the entire world.

"Old Wu, make sure to reward this young lad properly," the elder in military attire said, his face beaming as he looked at Wu Tianyan.

As he spoke, the expressions of the others sitting around the conference table became somewhat subtle.

It was true that Shao Zifeng’s contributions were significant, but he was not, after all, a military man; hence, the official constraints on him were lighter.

Moreover, his strength was not insignificant, and considering Great Xia’s current situation, the authorities did not even know how to reward him unless he made the request himself.

Wu Tianyan pondered for a moment, "Let’s discuss this matter later. Secretary Sun, is there anything else?"

Secretary Sun hesitated, "There’s also the matter that Shao Zifeng said that the Recovery is not going well."

Several elders froze for a moment, struggling to respond. An elder with the surname Tang asked urgently, "Secretary Sun, clarify what you mean. What’s this about not going well?"

"Shao Zifeng mentioned that Recovery exhausted all her strength to break the Sealing in order to solve the chaos in Great Xia, causing her to fall into a deep slumber in the end." As he spoke, his face bore a trace of bitterness, "We only thought She would slowly regain strength after falling asleep, but in reality, She’s getting weaker and weaker. It is said that even the True Spirit is nearly dissipating."

The elder’s exchanged glances, at a loss for what to do. After all, they had not been involved with pet creatures in the first half of their lives, and even twenty years after the ’Unknown Recovery,’ Great Xia was still struggling to forge a path in this field.

Wu Tianyan’s face grew somber, he spoke in a heavy tone, "Is there a remedy?"

"There is."

"But it requires us to restart the Sacrificial Dance."

The military-clad elder’s eyes widened, "Sacrificial Dance? Are you suggesting we indulge in feudal superstition?"

The elder named Tang tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to hold his tongue.

Wu Tianyan ignored him, "What are the requirements for this sacrifice?"

Secretary Sun said, "Shao Zifeng mentioned the need to perform the Sacrificial Dance during the ritual, and it also requires the sacrificial offering of ’Ancient Breath Soil.’ He woke up and searched the platform but couldn’t find such an item, hence he wants us to intervene."

"Ancient Breath Soil?" The elders frowned tightly, not recalling such an item in their memory.

Wu Tianyan’s fingers tapped on the conference table as he showed a hesitant expression. After a long silence, he said, "Does he recognize this item?"

Secretary Sun nodded subtly, "He said that Recovery taught him many methods to identify special items."

"In that case," Wu Tianyan said, no longer hesitant, "since he is in the underground base, go grant him access to the ’National Treasury’ area so he can search for it himself."

"No, I disagree!" the elder with the long face changed color, "The National Treasury is a place of utmost importance, not to be entered lightly. If valuable items were to go missing, who would bear the responsibility?"

Wu Tianyan looked at him unwaveringly, "I will take responsibility."

The two locked eyes, neither willing to back down.

"You two are almost 150 years old when combined and still acting so childish." The warm-hearted Elder Tang quickly stepped in to mediate, "Didn’t Shao lad say that Recovery gave him the methods to identify special items? It’s fortunate since we also don’t know how to use those things; let him have a look for us."

"Moreover, what ill intentions could Shao Zifeng possibly have? He is simply trying to aid in the Recovery of the Holy Spirit."

Seeing that the two were still at an impasse, Elder Tang said helplessly, "Given that this matter concerns the salvation of the Holy Spirit, it carries great importance. Let’s decide by vote. I am in favor."

The military-clad elder chimed in, "Sister Tang is making sense; I think this kid isn’t bad, and I agree as well."

After a moment of hesitation, the remaining two also agreed one by one.

Wu Tianyan nodded, "Let’s proceed that way."

"Old Wu!" The long-faced elder opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but Wu Tianyan firmly shook his head, "Xiaosun, send a message to the underground base that, without affecting the teleportation array research, all researchers are to cooperate with Shao Zifeng in his work."

"Yes!"

"Come back." Just as Secretary Sun was about to leave, Wu Tianyan called out to him.

Secretary Sun asked respectfully, "Elder Wu, is there anything else?"

Wu Tianyan hesitated slightly, "Tell Shao Zifeng that if he can win this competition, he can apply for three items from the national treasury in one go."

"As long as he doesn’t break any laws or betray the Great Xia, he can apply for one item each year."

As soon as he spoke these words, everyone’s expression turned to utter astonishment.

...

Underground base.

Shao Zifeng, without any bad intentions, was anxiously awaiting the news.

After exiting his sensory field of view, he realized he had forgotten to ask about the Sacrificial Item, and, fearing a beating from the True Spirit upon his return, he had boldly reported ’Ancient Breath Soil.’

Well.

According to the naming conventions of Great Xia, there shouldn’t be such a thing.

Moreover, he had deliberately said that the True Spirit taught him many ways to distinguish special items, which should result in the authorities sending him many unknown items.

The thought of this made Zifeng somewhat impatient.

Now, he just hoped that the officials wouldn’t actually send over ’Ancient Breath Soil.’

Knock! Knock!

A series of urgent knocks sounded.

Shao Zifeng’s eyes lit up - the items had arrived!

He quickly walked to the door, took a deep breath to calm his excitement, and then opened the door.

"Little Shao, good news, haha!" Nan Lixuan, with his white hair standing on end, excitedly opened his arms ready for a hug.

Zifeng stepped back two paces, leaving Nan Lixuan hugging the air.

As if nothing had happened, he glanced around puzzled, "Where is the item?"

"The item?" Nan Lixuan scratched his distinctive silver hair, puzzled, "What item?"

Zifeng pondered for a moment, feeling slightly disappointed, "Alright, then what was the good news you were talking about?"

"Haha, the notification just came from upstairs, telling me to take you to the national treasury to find ’Ancient Breath Soil’!" Nan Lixuan said, his face full of excitement, patting Zifeng’s shoulder, "You’re quite something, kid, even I haven’t been in the national treasury till now!"

"The... national treasury?" Zifeng was a bit stunned.

On my honor, he just wanted to find some special items to solidify his resolve; he hadn’t planned on going to the national treasury.

This time, things were seemingly getting a bit too big.
