Lu Chengchuan returned to Xunxing City in a good mood and continued to wait for news about the artifact.
The second level of Wanxiang Yintian Gong requires a lifespan of 4,500 years, and the third level requires a lifespan of 8,000 years. He currently only has a lifespan of more than 10,000 years, which is not enough to improve his martial arts to perfection.
However, he would improve as much as he could. After returning to the city, he quickly upgraded the Wanxiang Yintian Gong to the second level.
After improving his martial arts level, he still has more than 5,700 years of life left, which is enough time for him to wait.
Moreover, he has many opportunities to gain longevity. There are many monsters in this world, and many monsters flock to him every year. He doesn't need to go to the Monster Continent to look for them.
Lu Chengchuan stayed in his mansion all day, but he always kept an eye on the outside world.
Apart from anything else, he needs to be alert to the movements of the Beast King at all times. If the Beast King moves, he has to move too.
Fortunately, he was patient and had waited for almost a hundred years. If he couldn't find the artifact in one day, he could wait even for a thousand years.
A few months later, at a reconnaissance fort far away from the city, a ragged man ran to the fort.
"Stop! Who are you?!"
"I'm from the 15th Search Team, and I have important information to report to the City Lord!"
The ragged man ran up to the fortress, holding a bronze badge.
Upon hearing this, the captain of the fortress ran to the entrance. Seeing the badge in the man's hand, he did not dare to hesitate and quickly asked his men to bring the man in.
......
"Are you sure it's from the search team?"
"Sir, it has been confirmed. His name is Kafei, and he is from the 8th Squadron of the 15th Search Team. They have been heading south for eighteen years."
Lu Chengchuan was studying in his mansion when Luke suddenly came to him and said that there was news about the search team.
After waiting for so many years, this was the first time he had received such good news. Lu Chengchuan was even excited for a moment. After calming down, he asked if the situation was true, hoping that some ignorant person would deceive him again.
Of course Luke considered this possibility. He investigated for more than two hours, questioned the man, checked the information, and made sure that the man was real before he dared to come and report.
"Take me to him."
After confirming that the person was real, Lu Chengchuan didn't want to wait a moment and got up to meet him.
The people were waiting in the military camp. Luke wanted to tell the city lord and then call them over, but he didn't expect the city lord to be so anxious. He hurried up to lead the way for the city lord.
At Lu Chengchuan's urging, they arrived at the military camp in just a few minutes.
Luke took him to a room where Kafei was. He had changed into clean clothes and his face was cleaned up.
When he thought about meeting the city lord next, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
He was waiting for someone to call him when suddenly the door opened and General Luke came in, followed by another young man.
Kafei looked at the man, his nervous expression froze instantly, and his body stood up suddenly.
"City Lord...Master?"
He had only seen this face twice, the first time was when he first entered the training camp, and the second time was when he set off. After only seeing it twice, this face was deeply engraved in his mind.
They have been crossing mountains and rivers for eighteen years, and it is the faith given to them by the city lord that has allowed them to persevere until today.
"It's me, Kafei, right? What do you want to tell me?"
"Sir, I, Kafei, a member of the 8th Squad and the 15th Search Team, salute you!" Kafei placed his palms on his chest, lowered his head, and spoke with a firm and respectful tone.
"Sit down, don't be nervous, just sit down."
Lu Chengchuan walked up, his words carrying a hint of special power.
Kafei, who had been extremely nervous and excited, slowly recovered. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly sat back down.
"Tell me what you encountered."
Lu Chengchuan also pulled a chair and sat down. Seeing that the city lord was sitting opposite him, Ka Fei, who had originally calmed down, became excited again.
"We headed south, following your instructions. We cut down trees and built ships in the south, sailing towards the southern seas. After about two months, we arrived at the Outer World Continent..."
This world has two connected supercontinents, occupied by humans and monsters respectively. In addition, there is a much smaller continent in the vast ocean.
Most of the area is desert and uninhabitable, with only a few areas having water and soil. There are also monsters and humans there, but few.
Lu Chengchuan specially sent a team to search there, and now there is finally news.
"We searched for a long time. Eleven years ago, we came to a gathering place. But before we could enter, someone suddenly rushed out and tried to catch us. We tried to fight back, but they still caught us back...
The leader of the gathering place came to interrogate us, and he had in his hand what you were looking for..."
When Kafei recalled that time, the expression on his face became very rich.
"He didn't kill us, but the captain found an opportunity and we escaped together. However, there were too many of them, so we had to flee separately... I kept running and found a place to hide. It took a long time before I returned to the coast..."
Ten years have passed since he escaped. He returned from the vast ocean with three other people. The other two unfortunately died on the way, and only he survived.
"Thank you for your hard work over the years. Don't worry, I will avenge you!"
As soon as the things stopped overseas, Lu Chengchuan could no longer hold back. He stood up and assured Ka Fei, then waved and called Luke
"Pick a team, get them ready, and set off with me tomorrow."
"Also, compile a list of the families of the Eighth Detachment. Everyone must be compensated." Lu Chengchuan then looked at Ka Fei and said, "You should have a good rest today and take us to find that place tomorrow, okay?"
Lu Chengchuan was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear the mental strain if he asked him to go out again right after he came back.
"As long as it is your will, I will absolutely obey!" Kafei stood up on the spot to express his obedience to the order, without any hesitation throughout the whole process.
"Okay! I'll reward you handsomely when you come back!"
Lu Chengchuan was very excited. He raised his hand and patted Kafei's shoulder, then asked Luke to arrange for everyone to rest.
He was sure that Ka Fei was not lying. After breaking through the Dharmakāya, ordinary people could not lie in front of him. If he wanted to, he could even know everything in the other person's mind.
However, once this method is used, the other party will at best become an idiot, and at worst die on the spot. He would not use such a horrific method on his own people.
As his order was given, Luke hurried to gather people. It was noon now and they had to set off tomorrow, so he didn't have much time left.
Lu Chengchuan returned to the mansion and called Raya over.
"I'm going out to sea to the outer continent tomorrow. You take care of things here. If anyone comes looking for me, just tell them I'm out."
As soon as Raya arrived, she heard these words that were like a bolt from the blue. She was puzzled that the teacher was going out, and to such a far place.
"Why are you going there? You can ask them to do something."
"I can let them do other things, but I have to do this myself."
