The middle-aged man wearing a red mask made a crisp sound in his hand, like gold and jade clashing together, producing a clear and melodious "ding-ding" sound.

Wang Hao glanced at the objects the middle-aged man was playing with in his hands. They were two dark green jade slips. He knew this kind of thing very well. Cultivators usually recorded their cultivation techniques on jade slips.

"Do you know what this is?" The middle-aged man took in Wang Hao's changing expression. The fleeting surprise followed by indifference piqued his interest in Wang Hao.

"I'm not sure."

Wang Hao didn't want to reveal too much. If he still had his cultivation level, he could be more unrestrained, but now he could only use his martial arts cultivation, and was just a small martial artist who had opened up four meridians.

His answer was exactly what the middle-aged man expected. He said, "It's normal that you don't know. Since you've come, it means you approve of the exploration organization. Consider this a small gift."

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man wearing a red mask tossed a dark green jade slip into Wang Hao's hand. It was quite heavy and felt very substantial.

Wang Hao looked at the jade slip in his hand. It was a little cold to the touch and didn't seem particularly special. But if you looked closely, you could see that there were engraved pictures on the jade slip.

"This was unearthed from a site in Mount Tai. The exact dynasty it dates to is still unknown, but when the site was discovered, a strange sight appeared: nine dragons pulling a coffin."

The middle-aged man slowly spoke and told Wang Hao that in ancient times on Earth, the Qi cultivators of the pre-Qin period and the Onmyoji of Japan all used this kind of jade slip.

In ancient times, jade slips varied in length, ranging from a dozen centimeters to more than half a meter, and text was carved on them with a knife.

The piece in Wang Hao's hand was dark green, with a warm luster under the light.

It is 8 centimeters long, 3 centimeters wide, and 2 centimeters thick, and its length is relatively short.

It felt heavy in my hand, and I could tell that the jade slip would sink immediately upon entering the water.

However, this green jade slip is not engraved with words, but with several pictures, depicting a strange creature with a sheep's head and a human body in different poses.

He has long, flowing hair, making it impossible to tell whether he is male or female. There are depictions of him sitting cross-legged, rolling on the ground, and another depiction of him standing upright on the ground, like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky.

"The Ram-Headed God, the supreme god in the legends of the Immortal Realm, actually appeared on Earth?" Wang Hao was somewhat surprised, and he even knew a legend about this Ram-Headed God.

Legend has it that there was once a Golden Immortal who enjoyed hunting various sheep demons, but at his level of cultivation, ordinary sheep demons could no longer satisfy his appetite.

So he set his sights on the daughter of a demon ancestor. This girl was the offspring of the demon ancestor and a sheep demon when the demon ancestor was undergoing trials in human form. She was exceptionally talented.

She was deeply loved by the Demon Ancestor, but one day, she suddenly disappeared, which greatly worried the Demon Ancestor. So he ordered all the demons to search every corner of the Demon Clan's Immortal Realm.

After a day of fruitless searching, the demon race prepared to travel to the Heavenly Mystery Immortal Mountain to try and find out where their daughter was.

But before the Demon Ancestor could leave, his daughter returned to the Demon Ancestor's Palace on her own. The Demon Ancestor was overjoyed. Later, he learned from his daughter that she had been captured by that Golden Immortal.

But just as he was about to be dismembered, a strange creature with a goat's head and a human body suddenly appeared, dressed in gorgeous clothes, claiming to be the God of the Unknown, who had come specifically to hunt down the Golden Immortal.

It should be noted that Golden Immortals were once powerful figures in the Immortal Realm, but this God of the Unknown simply suppressed and refined them with a wave of his hand.

When the Demon Ancestor learned of this news, he wanted to find this God of the Unknown to express his gratitude, but he could not find him even after searching the entire Immortal Realm.

Helpless, the Demon Ancestor had no choice but to appoint the God of the Goat as the supreme god of the Goat Demon clan, with the title of Goat-Headed God.

Wang Hao carefully examined the jade slip in his hand, thinking to himself, "It should just be a coincidence, but this jade slip should record some kind of magical technique or supernatural power, so it has some value."

Seeing Wang Hao staring blankly at the jade slip in his hand, the middle-aged man wearing a red mask laughed and said, "I can't understand it, I can't comprehend it. I've had it in my hands for many years, just playing with it like a piece of jade."

He had short, thick hair and sat there quietly.

"I got too little. Back then, a bunch of dark green jade slips fell into the hands of the financial tycoons on Tianxing. I only managed to get two back then," he said calmly.

Wang Hao composed himself and looked calmly at the man. From his few words, he could tell that this middle-aged man had achieved considerable success in cultivation techniques and even martial arts.

It was no easy feat for him to dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, fight against the people sent by the tycoon, and take away two pieces.

Wang Hao's interest was piqued by his words. He casually found a chair and sat down, asking, "What exactly did Tianxing discover? How were they able to decipher the contents of this jade slip?"

"I don't know." The short-haired middle-aged man's words were brief, indicating his unwillingness to discuss the topic further.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

"This city has a dark side known as the black market, and under the landmark building in the CBD, there are martial arts competitions where the contestants fight in iron cages. It is extremely bloody, and the losers usually lose their hands and feet."

"As for us, we are a group of explorers. What we will experience is far more thrilling, exciting, mysterious, and even terrifying than this cage combat competition, because the organization has entered the starry sky and is not limited to Earth and the stars."

The middle-aged man spoke slowly, his deep voice filled with magnetism and a longing for the unknown. In their view, exploring abandoned techniques was also a search for the truth of history.

To prove that things denied by the world actually existed, such as the ancient heavenly court, Kuafu chasing the sun, and the Investiture of the Gods.

"I heard you've mastered the Five Thunder Internal Organ Technique?"

Wang Hao nodded without hesitation. Since the other party asked in this way, it meant that Xia Xiaoyi must have revealed a lot of information to this middle-aged man.

Seeing Wang Hao's quick admission, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little more admiration for him, and then smiled and said, "Let me formally introduce myself, you can call me Chitu."

"Does this mean I've joined?" Wang Hao asked.

Chi Tu said, "Not yet. The exploration organization is relatively free and loose, but its strength is beyond doubt. At the same time, it is very mysterious, and its tentacles have long since entered the starry sky, reaching the stars."

"Therefore, the selection process is very rigorous. Even if you were introduced by Feng Caiyi, you cannot join the organization directly. There will be an expedition in a week, which can serve as your assessment. Do you want to participate?"

“I’ll participate!” Wang Hao nodded.

"You already know a little about what you'll be going through after joining us, but I still want to emphasize what adventure means. Naturally, there will be dangers, even life-threatening ones. You should think it through carefully."

Wang Hao said, "No problem, I've thought it through."

"Alright, then please report here two days before the operation begins. You will then learn about the operation's objectives and tasks."

Akado's voice was very solemn and serious.

"Okay." Wang Hao nodded in agreement, and then left the place under the guidance of a guard.
