In the 6088th year of the Xia calendar,

the alarm bells of a bank in Harbour City rang loudly. They encountered the only robbery in decades. In the era of online payment, bank robbery was almost extinct, but with the revival of spiritual energy, bank robbery appeared again. However, they did not rob cash, but robbed some immortal cultivation resources, such as spiritual stones.

In the 88th year of China, there were still a few immortal cultivators, and some mortal rich people obtained spiritual stones, spiritual medicines and other immortal cultivation resources from various channels and deposited them in banks.

Five unregistered casual cultivators rushed into the bank. The bulletproof glass and steel doors were already very weak in their eyes. They robbed a lot of things.

However, a loyal bank staff member risked his life to press the alarm, and then the five people flew out of the bank and wanted to escape. They did not drive, and the speed and flexibility of the vehicle were completely inferior to their flying speed.

"All personnel should not panic, do not crowd, to prevent trampling..."

The broadcast on the street appeared, and then half of Harbour City was covered by the protective shield of the formation. With the help of monitoring, the range of the formation was further reduced, and soon, the robbers were trapped in a certain block.

The desperate robbers hid in a building and took dozens of people hostage, so the police who were chasing them had to give up the attack and send people to negotiate, hoping that they would lay down their weapons and surrender.

"Listen, everyone inside, bank robbery is not a capital crime. You are all people with cultivation. If you surrender, I can write a letter of introduction for you and let you go to the prison camp to make meritorious service. As long as you make meritorious service, you may be able to get out in two or three years..."

"Bullshit, the prison camp is where you fight monsters, I won't go there."

"Listen..."

The negotiation expert negotiated with them patiently, dragging out the time until a small aircraft landed in front of everyone. The police breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the people coming down from the aircraft with admiration.

A heroic woman came down from the aircraft, and a police officer quickly stepped forward to explain the current situation to her.

"Okay, I get it. Five robbers in the middle stage of Qi training, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"Come with me."

"Sir, do you want to..."

"No need."

The woman shook her head and walked directly towards the building. The robbers could see clearly when they were seven or eight meters away. They wanted the woman to stop, but it was too late. The woman released her powerful spiritual sense and directly froze the five people. The difference in spiritual sense between foundation building and Qi training is not that big. She froze them easily, and then the woman opened the door and walked in.

"Catch them."

"No need."

The police officer shouted, but the woman shook her head, and then a flying sword appeared and directly harvested the lives of the five people.

"In troubled times, severe punishments should be used. The prison camp will be cancelled soon. It is not a pity for these people to die."

The woman explained that in the past few years, the number of their immortal cultivators was seriously insufficient. Not only did they have to maintain law and order, but they also had to fight monsters from all over the place, so they allowed some immortal cultivators who committed crimes to make up for their crimes.

However, this has made some fierce bandits lawless, thinking that no matter how serious the crime is, they can go to the prison camp to make meritorious service, and maybe they can be released soon, and they will not change their ways.

Now that there are enough immortal cultivators in China, there is no need for prison camps. The higher-ups have decided to cancel them, and emphasize the use of severe punishments in troubled times to kill the spirit of these immortal cultivators.

······

In the villa manor, there is a flying machine parked at the door of Lin Jiang. This is the product of the Psychic Energy Research Institute. The flying machine is round and as big as a car. It is powered by spiritual energy and can take off and land vertically. It is very flexible. Now hundreds of them have been produced and only handed over to some immortal cultivators stationed in various important areas. The one in front of Lin Jiang is already the second generation.

"It's more comfortable than the flying boat."

Lin Jiang smiled. Compared with the flying boat, he prefers this sci-fi flying machine.

"Sir,"

Wu Jiang and a young man came over. The man beside him was Wu Li, one of Wu Jiang's many sons. Wu Li was now preparing to inherit his father's business and become Lin Jiang's bodyguard. He was also a cultivator.

"Put the things away. Don't expose them to the wind and rain."

"Sir, there are storage bags,"

Wu Li said. He couldn't understand why Lin Jiang didn't use storage bags to put them away.

"No, put them in the exhibition hall,"

Lin Jiang shook his head. There were several special exhibition halls in his villa manor, which were his collection rooms. He collected a lot of good things, including antiques and famous paintings from all dynasties.

"Your son looks a little stupid. Can he take your position?"

"No, but he can be your loyal soldier, or he can run errands. Among my dozen sons, he is the most honest and dutiful."

"Okay, then accept it,"

Lin Jiang nodded. Wu Jiang's lineage had been his bodyguard for more than 200 years. He still had to give him this face. Having someone by Lin Jiang's side could keep the Wu family rich.

"Hey, sir, I am old too. One generation after another, it's time for a new generation to take over."

"It's okay. When the pill comes out, I'll give you one, and you can live twenty more years."

"Sir, I..."

"Let's go home."

Lin Jiang didn't want to say anything more. He walked back to the villa. The secretary had already placed a pile of documents in front of Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang's spiritual sense moved, and all the documents were automatically turned over. Then his spiritual sense scanned, and the computer next to him automatically opened. The artificial intelligence took the initiative to select important news for Lin Jiang.

China has announced a lot of things about the immortal cultivation system, which have long been spread all over the world, but now the world is in great turmoil. China is still okay. With Lin Jiang's advance layout, a large number of immortal cultivators have emerged in the past few years, and the Psychic Energy Research Institute has invented many weapons. The monsters in China are being cleared out on a large scale, and the overall situation is stable.

But other areas are not so good, such as Qingyun and Zhou Liao. Now they can only keep the key cities, and the countryside has been corrupted. Even if they distribute conventional weapons, they can't completely control the situation.

As for other countries, it depends on their national strength. If they are strong, they can still keep important areas like Qingyun and others, but some places that were originally weak are already in danger.

The most dangerous are some archipelago countries. Now dozens of small countries have been destroyed. It was done by sea monsters. There are already third-level monsters in the sea monsters, which have divided the territory on the sea.

China has sent the navy to fight several times and has also wiped out several third-level monsters, but its own losses are also serious, and it can't be killed. After killing them, new third-level monsters will appear in a few months, so China has given up at present, and the navy is fully guarding the coastal waters.

In this way, more than half of the sea trade has disappeared, and the cost has increased exponentially. Now the connection between the continents depends entirely on aircraft, but aircraft are not safe either. Almost all of them need air force escort, and the logistics cost has increased by an unknown amount.

"The demon tribe is coming fiercely,"

Lin Jiang sighed. The sleeping demon tribe has not appeared yet, and it is already so serious now. If those demon tribes appear, I don't know what will happen.

"Sir, the Madam is back."

Lin Jiang just finished sighing when he heard the voice of the secretary. These secretaries were disciplined by Cao Ying, and now they just called Cao Ying Madam directly. Lin Jiang couldn't control it.

As soon as the voice fell, Cao Ying walked in, wearing a white sports shirt, looking youthful and energetic, and it was completely impossible to tell that she was a thousand-year-old monster.

"Uncle, I'm back."

"Didn't you hit anyone this week?"

"Hey, am I such a violent woman? I'm just a little girl."

Cao Ying acted shy, making Lin Jiang roll his eyes fiercely, but he was still happy in his heart, because in Lin Jiang's memory, except for Cao Ying's childhood, she has never been so youthful and lively since then. Lin Jiang doesn't like the state of the Yunzhou witch.

Cao Ying is like this now, Lin Jiang doesn't have to worry about her inner demons, it should be eliminated.

"How are the new students this month, how many monsters are there?"

"More powerful than last year, at least ten or more are worth focusing on training" "

Selected from hundreds of millions of people, it's normal to have some monsters."

Lin Jiang said, in three years, someone actually succeeded in building a foundation. Think about what level he was at after three years of practice, it's simply unimaginable.

It can only be said that the current cultivators are too fierce, and geniuses are worthless. Among Cao Ying's students, one brick can hit five or six geniuses.

"Uncle, we have an action in a few days, do you want to join us?"

"Is it the military's action to clean up the monsters in the Huaxia Federation?"

"Yes, I plan to take the old students to participate in the war. It's useless to practice without fighting. We have to see blood."

"Don't kill those people who pursue you, be more generous,"

Lin Jiang said. Cao Ying went to the cultivation school to teach students. Because of her mysterious identity and her beautiful appearance, she was very popular with students. She was also a college student in her twenties, so she became the dream lover of countless people. If it was a secret love, Cao Ying would not care, but someone actually pursued her openly, which made Cao Ying unbearable. He often beat people, and he didn't have to pay for the beating, which was equivalent to beating for nothing.

"Uncle, I'm thousands of years old, do you really think I'm bothering with those students?"

"Okay, protect these students, they have great potential."

Lin Jiang nodded. Cao Ying knew the importance of the matter. Now China has three systems of immortal cultivators. One is the military, which trains immortal cultivators from the army. The other is the official, and the cultivated immortal cultivators are mainly responsible for some public security and management. The other is the education system.

The education system has the most people, but the strength is not strong. The military is the strongest. They not only have a lot of resources, but are also equipped with technological weapons. With technological weapons, everyone is comparable to the captain of the United States.

But their potential is obviously not as good as that of students. These students are selected from hundreds of millions of students and have great potential. Lin Jiang has also invested a lot of resources in them and is unwilling to abandon them at will.
