Treasure Hunt: Tracing the Dragon Veins

A legendary Flying Jade Pendant, said to have been bestowed by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang upon an envoy to Tang China and to conceal clues to the secret treasure of Crown Prince Li Xian after the Shenlong Coup, has surfaced at an overseas auction. At the request of a mysterious client, Lu Tianming sets out to reclaim the pendant, only to become entangled in a world-spanning conspiracy. He discovers that the pendant is linked not only to the vast treasure of a Tang dynasty faction, the Shenlong Legacy, intended to restore the Li dynasty, but also points to an ultimate secret said to be capable of changing the fate of the nation, more precious than gold or silver: the Source of the Dragon Veins. Meanwhile, international antiquities-smuggling rings, mysterious religious organizations, and powerful groups with complicated backgrounds are all stirring into action. Racing against time, Lu Tianming must follow clues hidden in the pendant and a series of Tang dynasty relics and books, traveling from home to foreign lands and across five continents. He must unravel age-old mysteries, find the treasure before his rivals, and protect the fate of the nation.
