System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Chapter 604

"Thank you all for your understanding and compassion."

He clasped his hands and looked around:

"Time was of the essence, so we divided the tasks directly."

The six altars need to be reinforced simultaneously or separately.

I suggest dividing into three groups—

"The first group will go to the seventh beacon tower in southern Yunnan. That's the most dangerous place. I'll go."

We need an assistant skilled in mountainous terrain and adept at dealing with poisonous insects and witchcraft.

Granny Lan immediately said:

"My wife and Cai Cai will go with you."

The insect-based Gu techniques of the Miao region are perfect for dealing with the poisons of southern Yunnan.

"I'll go as well."

Liu Qi said calmly:

"Corpse puppets are more useful than living people in the mountains and forests."

Zhang Hao nodded:

"it is good.

Group 1: Me, Granny Lan, Lan Cai, Liu Qi, plus Fatty, he's good at walking and carries the equipment.

The fat man grinned:

"Alright! I know Yunnan like the back of my hand!"

"The second group, go to the third beacon tower in Dunhuang."

Zhang Hao continued:

"We need people who are familiar with the terrain of Northwest China and can cope with the dry, windy environment."

"Naive, you lead the team."

Wu Tianzhen, who was taking notes, was taken aback upon hearing this:

"I?"

“You are meticulous and familiar with ancient books and documents. There are many Han Dynasty relics in Dunhuang, and someone is needed to interpret them on site.”

Zhang Hao looked at the others:

"The Batel brothers are familiar with the Northwest, and Master Qingwei has profound magical powers and can deal with emergencies."

Also, Huo Xiuxiu will go with you; her ice mist ability can be a lifesaver in the desert.

Batel nodded:

"I've been to Dunhuang three times, so I know the way."

Master Qingwei nodded:

"can."

Huo Xiuxiu clenched her fist:

"I will try my best."

"The third group will split up and handle the remaining four locations."

Zhang Hao looked at Xie Xiaohua:

"Xiao Hua, you, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie form a group and provide mobile support."

Mr. Qi, Granny Jin, and Master Agu, you three are all very experienced. Please each lead a team to the first beacon tower in Inner Mongolia, the fourth beacon tower in western Sichuan, and the fifth beacon tower in the Qinling Mountains.

I will provide you with the exact location later, including the coordinates I detected.

Qi Banxian squinted:

"With such a dispersed formation, aren't you afraid of being picked off one by one?"

That's why we need to act simultaneously.

Zhang Hao said in a deep voice:

"No matter how strong the consciousness of the ancient god is, it is impossible to pay attention to all the altars at the same time."

We took advantage of the time difference, completing the reinforcement before it could react.

"What are the methods for reinforcement?"

Master Qingwei asked the crucial question:

"Although Fellow Daoist Zhang has obtained the spirit of the Five Elements, the Seven Star Sealing Technique has been lost..."

"I have an idea."

Zhang Hao took out a scroll of blueprints from his pocket. It was the "Five Elements Sealing Array" that he had deduced over the past few days based on the memory fragments in the bloodline of the Primordial Qilin and the incomplete chapters of the Zhang family genealogy.

"Based on the spirit of the five elements, a reverse formation is set up at the nodes of the earth veins. It is not a 'seal' but a 'transformation'—the channel that originally absorbed the energy of the earth veins to nourish the 'seeds' is reversed to extract the energy of the 'seeds' and feed back to the earth veins."

Like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, slowly eroding its parasitic instincts.

The blueprints were passed around among experts, who immediately recognized their ingenuity.

Master Qingwei praised:

"The five elements generate each other, reversing the balance of Yin and Yang."

If this formation succeeds, it will indeed strike at the root of the problem.

"Just the materials needed to set up the formation..."

"We'll prepare the materials."

Jie Xiaohua chimed in:

"In the past three days, Yu Die and I have mobilized most of the basic supplies."

Special materials are needed, and each person will need to supplement them according to their own family traditions; this is one of the reasons we invited everyone here.

Grandma Jin laughed heartily:

"That's more like it. We can't work for nothing."

The old woman has some 'soul-suppressing sand' and 'evil-repelling gu' here; they might come in handy."

Qi Banxian also said:

"The Qi family can contribute seven 'Invitation to Immortals Copper Coins' to temporarily summon mountain gods and earth spirits to guard the scene when setting up the formation."

Agushi said in a muffled voice:

"The bone collectors have 'bone-cleansing powder' that can purify impurities."

Grandma Lan:

“There is a ‘Spirit-Locking Vine’ in Miao territory.”

Battelle:

"The 'wind horse flag' of the grassland shaman can stabilize the earth's veins and winds."

Master Qingwei:

"Thirty-six 'Suppressing Evil Talismans' can be produced from Maoshan."

Liu Qi:

"The Liu family's 'corpse-fixing nails' can pin down the earth's energy and prevent it from dissipating."

Zhang Hao wrote them down one by one:

"it is good.

Everyone, please rest in Hangzhou today. Tomorrow morning, each group will collect supplies and set off separately.

Maintain satellite phone contact and provide progress updates every twelve hours.

If faced with a danger that cannot be dealt with.

He paused, then looked at everyone:

"Survival comes first."

The altar can be temporarily abandoned; people must live.

These words warmed the hearts of many present.

In chaotic times, those who put their companions' lives first are trustworthy.

After the meeting, Xie Xiaohua arranged for each family member to rest at a nearby hotel.

Only Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Xie Xiaohua, Fatty, and a few other core members remained in the courtyard.

"Haozi, are you really letting Tianzhen lead the team?"

The fat man asked in a low voice:

"His arms and legs are so thin..."

Wu Tianzhen glared at him:

"What's wrong with me?

I survived the Kunlun Mountains too!

"The fat man is right."

Zhang Hao patted Wu Tianzhen on the shoulder:

"This time it's not like the Kunlun Mountains."

The Kunlun Mountains were a battle of brute force; this time, it's a battle of wits.

You're quick-witted and meticulous, making you perfect for leading a team.

But remember—

He looked directly into Wu Tianzhen's eyes:

"You are the captain, not the vanguard."

If danger arises, let Batel and Master Qingwei take the lead, while you direct from behind.

Your life is more important than an altar.

Wu Tianzhen's eyes welled up slightly, and she nodded emphatically:

"I see."

Jie Xiaohua handed over a tablet computer, which displayed detailed maps and route plans for the six altars:

"The supplies have been packed into three vehicles for each group: one for equipment and two for passengers."

In addition, I assigned two men to each group, both of whom are skilled and discreet.

Zhang Hao took the tablet and quickly browsed through it:

"Any news from the delivery guy?"

"I just received an encrypted message."

Jie Xiaohua lowered her voice:

"He said the Zhang family's ancestral home had been thoroughly looted, but this was found in a hidden compartment in the cellar."

She handed me a photo.

The photo is blurry, but you can tell it's a tortoise shell covered with densely packed ancient characters.

"Oracle bones?"

Wu Tianzhen came over to take a look.

"Earlier."

Zhang Hao stared at the photo:

"It is Xia script, or even more ancient symbols."

The guy is deciphering it; he says it mentions 'Seven Stars' and... 'Return to the Void'.
