Luo Chao was confused, and after Tie Xiong, the deputy leader, saw it, he said, "Indeed." What did that mean?

Tie Xiong rubbed the talisman paper with his hand, his expression somewhat heated: "This treasure of yours is a talisman, right? It's something truly valuable left by our ancestors."

Luo Chao was startled, then, upon reconsideration, he understood. Given Tie Xiong's high position in Huaxia, it was natural that he knew something about cultivators. Knowing some inside information was not surprising.

"You're a cultivator, aren't you?" Tie Xiong directly revealed Luo Chao's identity. With his discerning eye, he easily noticed that the talisman paper was newly made.

Nodding slightly, since it was already known, there was no need to deny it. "Yes, I'm currently a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Condensation Stage." Luo Chao said slowly.

"There are no cultivators left nowadays, how did you succeed?" Tie Xiong asked with eyes full of excitement. Who could resist the allure of becoming immortal? Even someone like Tie Xiong, who held significant power, was no exception.

Luo Chao dreaded others asking him about this matter. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell them, but becoming a cultivator was a fortuitous occurrence, thanks to the Earth Core Milk. If people knew it was possible to cultivate, they would surely seek him out, hence why he never mentioned it initiatively.

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. Seeing his hesitation, Tie Xiong laughed softly, patted Luo Chao's shoulder, and said, "If you don't want to say, it's okay. I was just asking casually for confirmation."

Luo Chao looked at him with gratitude, finding the deputy leader charming and understanding. "Leader, this matter is indeed not easy to discuss."

Tie Xiong smiled slightly; "I understand."

"Do you have more of these talismans?" Tie Xiong asked with concern. Currently, for him, anything that could slightly enhance the Dragon Team's strength was worth pursuing.

"Just this one, and it can only be used a few more times." Luo Chao scratched his head, "Like that lady, I'm also short on materials."

"Tell me what you need, I'll take care of it." Tie Xiong waved his hand, speaking with boundless generosity. He valued Luo Chao's status as a cultivator, hence why he ardently supported Luo Chao's appointment as captain. Cultivators came with infinite possibilities.

When the old leader informed him that Luo Chao was a cultivator, he couldn't believe it. Could there really be cultivators in this world? It made him somewhat doubtful. But the old leader would never lie to him, and seeing it now, it was indeed true.

Luo Chao was overjoyed upon hearing this, as he had been troubled by this issue. The small Five Elements Divine Talisman had been used twice for fire and earth. It was time to figure out how to get new talisman paper. Unfortunately, the little snake showed no signs of molting again, relying on Earth Core Milk for the last molt. If it had to speed up the little snake's growth with Earth Core Milk again, not only would it be a waste, but the snake could be harmed, and Luo Chao would never forgive himself.

Unexpectedly, someone handed him a pillow as he was about to nap. Tie Xiong's promise filled him with boundless hope. There couldn't be only one spirit beast like the little snake in this world; there must be others hidden away in remote places. With the Dragon Team's significant resources, they could find them much faster than him alone.

He hurriedly spoke up, "I can make talismans myself, but I need spirit paper or spirit beast hide."

Tie Xiong pondered for a moment, "I'm not quite sure what spirit paper is, but as for spirit beast hides, we do have some in the Dragon Team's warehouse. They were brought back by team members after defeating some strong and strange-looking beasts. It's probably the spirit beast hide you're speaking of. I've felt it before, and there's indeed a mysterious power flowing over it."

"How about this, I'll take you to the warehouse now, and you can determine whether you can use it." Tie Xiong directly decided to take Luo Chao to check it out.

After passing through multiple layers of stringent inspections and various security measures, they finally entered the warehouse.

"Visiting the warehouse is really a hassle! Fingerprints and irises have to be checked so many times." Luo Chao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

"There's no choice. The best of Huaxia's treasures are stored here. Without these security measures, who could rest assured?" Tie Xiong laughed as he spoke.

Luo Chao nodded, surveying the surroundings. He couldn't help but gape in astonishment.

This room must be several hundred square meters large. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all pure white. The lighting was a soft white, making the entire warehouse bright, as if standing amidst snow and ice.

A strange scent permeated the air, which Luo Chao guessed was used to prevent the items in the warehouse from deterioration. Rows of shelves, two or three meters tall, were neatly arranged, filled with all sorts of exotic items, each encased without exception, in a high-tech glass cover.

One of the items on the shelf directly facing Luo Chao captured his attention immediately.

It was an incredibly luxurious crown, crafted from a metal Luo Chao couldn't identify, with a bright silver color. It was encrusted with countless gems of varying sizes, radiating a dazzling multicolored light. At the center of the crown, an egg-sized mystical stone was embedded, shrouded in a hazy purple glow. The mysterious purple color made the entire crown look even more noble.

Tie Xiong noticed and smiled proudly. "This was seized by our Dragon Team predecessors from the Nazi Empire, an unusual power organization of Germany, during World War II. It was said to be one of their two divine artifacts. They claimed if their Nazi King, Hitler, wore this Arthur's Sinful Crown and wielded the Lance of Longinus, they could have unified the world during World War I. Driven by this legend, they started World War II."

Luo Chao was deeply curious: "Does this Arthur's Sinful Crown really possess any divine powers?"

Tie Xiong nodded gravely: "Indeed, it holds a mysterious power. Whoever wears it is empowered, with surging internal energy. Our predecessors sacrificed a lot to seize this."

"Then why don't we use it?" Luo Chao gulped, feeling a bit tempted.

Tie Xiong glared at him, snorting. "Be careful, kid, don't get any ideas. Although it has miraculous abilities, it's also highly bizarre. Whoever wears it becomes a madman, with only one thought: to unify the world across different space-times—China Rise Again, the latest chapter. It seems the crown entirely controls their mind. Who knows what's going on."

Hearing this, Luo Chao shrank back, unwilling to become a puppet controlled by a hat. Quickly, he averted his gaze, refusing to even glance at it again, fearing it might fly over and land on his head.

Looking aside, he spotted another impressive item. It was a three-foot cyan blade, with a jade-like emerald green blade glinting brilliantly. It resembled a treasure sword made entirely of jade.

"Whoa, is this... could this be a flying sword?" Luo Chao stammered in excitement.
