Xia calendar six thousand two hundred years, Huaxia Federation.
In the old city district, a man tidy up his clothes, walked down the building, sat down casually at the ground floor breakfast shop in the neighborhood, ordered a bowl of tofu pudding, salty, and also ordered two stead buns, a baked cake, and two fried dough sticks, munching loudly while eating.
Occasionally greeted by old neighbors, the man responded with a smiling face. After finishing breakfast, the man got up and left, heading towards the nearby factory.
Along the way, the man hesitated for a mont but eventually entered the factory, starting his daily routine of work as a regular machine repair technician, his job was to inspect the assembly line repeatedly.
The machines operated very steadily, hardly encountering any major issues. His job was simply to maintain them, and if any major problem arose, he would have to report it and seek more professional help, given his modest monthly salary, only able to afford a technician of his level.
Finally off work, the man had a quick al in the factory canteen, then walked back ho. Since it was less than three kiloters away, he could easily walk there, without even needing a bicycle.
Closing the door, the man looked at the empty house in front of him, his expression turning gloomy. After a while, he entered his room and began to ditate.
Three hours later, the man opened his eyes, looking very helpless. In the area he was in, there were no spiritual veins within dozens of kiloters, and the spiritual energy in the air was extrely thin. Three hours of ditation, yet he couldn’t even complete one circulation.
Glancing at the ti, the man opened the window, silently climbed down from the sixth floor, and as he reached the ground, he imdiately used his Disguise Skill, changing his height and physique to look like soone else.
After leaving the neighborhood, the man arrived at another area which was much livelier. The night market was filled with all kinds of people. The man stood in a corner, watching these people, with a hint of greed in his eyes.
An hour later, the man slowly followed behind a young woman. Her steps seed unsteady, as if she had drunk a lot of alcohol.
Watching the woman enter a neighborhood, the man took out a hidden charm, stuck it on himself, and imdiately disappeared. But the next mont, a loud shout ca from the neighborhood, saying, "Who trespasses in the neighborhood?"
A powerful awareness swept over, leaving the man extrely frightened. He directly lifted the manhole cover and plunged into the drain. After a while, two figures appeared next to the drain.
"Captain, what’s wrong?"
"Hmph, soone has targeted a hoowner in the neighborhood. Soone tried to sneak into the neighborhood with a hidden charm, but was discovered by the formation."
"Oh, Captain, what should we do?"
"The sewer system is like a maze, we can’t catch the person now. Alert the hoowners in the group chat to be careful, and they must not easily lose the access token to enter and exit the neighborhood."
As the security captain of the neighborhood, he had to take responsibility for the hoowners. Lately, there had been many incidents of hunting down the wealthy residents in the city. They had to be vigilant, in order to protect the property value of their neighborhood.
An hour later, the tired man crawled back to his house. But as he stepped inside, he suddenly felt a shiver down his spine. Without thinking, a sword flew out from his sleeve.
"Bang!"
With a loud crack, the sword broke and the man ended up with a sword sticking out of his neck.
"If I were you, I wouldn’t move."
A deep voice sounded, then the lights turned on, and Chen Jinfa appeared in front of the man.
"Building foundation…"
"Yes."
"Senior, I am a humble person, you can see my family is very poor…"
"I sold you the concealnt charm."
The man was about to explain, but Chen Jinfa’s words made his voice stop and his face turned pale.
"Why are you targeting ? I believe I have kept everything clean."
"What you think is clean is just enough to deceive those fools in the organization who only know how to cultivate."
Chen Jinfa said coldly, "The cultivation techniques have been public for over a hundred years. The Huaxia Federation’s bureaucratic staff have all been replaced with cultivators. However, not all cultivators are talented. Many neglect their job skills for cultivation, resources, and seclusion. He feels that several police chiefs in this city lack the ability, or else he wouldn’t be here."
"Can you tell
your identity before I die?"
"I am the Platinum Hunter, Chen Jinfa."
"So it’s you. I have heard of you."
"Thank you for your approval. Don’t resist."
Chen Jinfa nodded, then used a rope-like magical tool to tie up the person, took them out of the room, and brought them to a large police station to hand over to the police. He also left so evidence. If they capture the wrong person, he won’t get a reward and may lose points, which would prevent him from taking on future missions.
After getting the receipt, Chen Jinfa left the city and went back to his ho where he found his wife and children sleeping. He went to another room to ditate.
A few years ago, Chen Jinfa decided to beco a citizen of Huaxia through marriage. It only took him six months because it was easy for him, as being an independent cultivator was rare.
After marrying his wife, he received great support from her family. Apart from the children not taking his surna, his wife’s family treated him well.
Now he holds positions in multiple companies, earning a good inco. With his wife’s family connections, he learned skills in making talismans and items. Discovering his talent in drawing talismans, he focused on becoming a talisman maker.
He never lacked resources for cultivation, which was much better than in Fangzhang Continent. In Huaxia, there were many channels to acquire resources without having to exchange blood on the battlefield.
Last year, he t all the requirents to beco a citizen of Huaxia. However, as a first-generation immigrant, he couldn’t join the Huaxia system, making it harder to access resources.
So, Chen Jinfa chose to beco a bounty hunter. Due to the increasing number of cultivator cris in Huaxia, bounty hunters were needed to lighten the burden. Hunters could take on reward tasks, with restrictions based on their abilities and level, along with maintaining a good credit score to keep the qualification.
Since last year, Chen Jinfa has solved over a dozen murder cases. He particularly enjoyed capturing those engaged in evil practices rather than normal cultivator criminals, as he had a past in that world and understood their mindset well. He gained a good reputation in the industry.
"It turns out, being on the right path can also bring good money, not just the evil ways."
Chen Jinfa felt enlightened, he used to think that only following the wrong path would give ordinary people like him a chance to succeed, but now he sees that following the right path also offers opportunities, as long as you have so luck.

"According to intelligence from the Huaxia Federation Intelligence Agency, after analyzing various pieces of information, they concluded that in the Shen Continent, there exists a deeply hidden and highly professional spy organization.
This spy organization originated from the demon race of the Fangzhang Continent. Many years ago, the demon race’s strategist, the Heavenly Fox Demon King, was ordered to transport their captured human elites to the Shen Continent. Over the years, they sent no less than twenty thousand people in several dozen groups.
As the years passed, these spy organizations were gradually exposed and dismantled, but remnants still exist. When Qiu Weidao went to Jiabang to deal with forbidden techniques, they beca very active.
Over the years, these spy organizations have caused us great losses. The attack in Jingdu City, the case involving the demon race in Luanshi Mountain, are all connected to them…"
In Haigang City, Lin Jiang was listening to the intelligence bureau’s report. Spy organizations in the Shen Continent were not uncommon. Over the years, they had captured countless people, yet so still slipped through the cracks.
"It has been discovered that there are at least three leaders of the remaining spies, among them, the most destructive is a person nad Muse. Here is so basic information about Muse. He hails from a noble family in the small country of Anda in the Fangzhang Continent and received a good education. Years ago, he was active in the Jiabang Empire and was a mber of an organization called the Human Self Help Association.
Through his planning, he secured many benefits for refugees from various countries, but also fueled conflicts between refugees and the local people of the Jiabang Empire, over the years…"
"Muse is a registered mber of the Hunter Organization. He is at the Platinum Level 2, which is the tenth highest level in the organization. Three years ago, his Hunter Watch last showed that he had reached the early stages of the Golden Core cultivation…"
"The spy organization led by Muse has fifty-six core mbers, with fifteen at the Building Foundation Period. We have uncovered thirty core mbers, and there are still many peripheral organization mbers…"
"Based on clues, Muse is highly likely to have entered Huaxia. The intelligence agency has ford a special task force…"
The intelligence agents continued to describe Muse’s situation, and Lin Jiang took a mont to look at Muse’s resu, realizing that he was indeed a talented individual.
"He cos from a good background, is well-educated, and has strong abilities. Before the fall of the Fangzhang Continent, the group under his family’s na saw trendous growth in performance within a few years."
"In the field of espionage, he has made significant contributions, especially in fueling internal conflicts among the human race. The repercussions are still significant, as Huaxia Federation has been unable to completely stop the spread of cultivation techniques and dark arts practitioners. He is at least partially responsible for this."
"Quite interesting, Uncle, he is a very talented individual."
"Yes, aside from his cultivation talent, he is truly a rare talent."
"Uncle, once we capture him, how about trying to convert him? We also need to understand the inner workings of the demon race a bit better. Over the years, we have not managed to infiltrate a mber into their ranks."
Cao Ying said that Lin Jiang didn’t want to trouble Small Shadiao, although Small Shadiao was the best candidate. They tried many ways to infiltrate the enemy but failed.
Lin Jiang nodded, he also had this plan in mind. Talent was rare, and Muse was indeed interesting.
