After Zhang Qi Ling emerged from the tomb passage.
Zhang Ri Shan's gaze remained fixed on him, never shifting for a long time.
After a while.
In front of everyone's surprised gazes, Zhang Ri Shan slightly bowed to Zhang Qi Ling, who was shirtless, as a sign of respect.
In front of so many people, considering his current status, and the events that happened in the past.
This was all he could do.
"You can go now."
"I haven't seen you today, and you haven't seen me."
Zhang Ri Shan turned around and spoke calmly.
The group remained motionless, still immersed in the scene they just witnessed.
"Still not leaving? Are you waiting to get shot?"
Lin Chuan reminded them.
Upon hearing this, the group finally came to their senses and quickly left the area.
"Deputy!"
Someone from Zhang Ri Shan's group couldn't help but speak up.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Lin Chuan turned to see that the man who had spoken had a bullet in his forehead and fell to the ground.
Zhang Ri Shan was the one who fired the shot.
"Deputy, what are you doing?!"
"Deputy, aren't you afraid of Buddha's wrath for doing this?!"
"Deputy, are you going to betray us?!"
The shouts from behind caught the attention of others, causing them to turn their heads back.
"Don't look back."
Zhang Ri Shan's cold voice echoed in their ears.
It stopped their thoughts.
Then.
There were sounds of intense gunshots and fighting from behind.
But it quickly returned to silence.
Wang Pang Zi said, "He seems to be the mastermind behind the New Moon Hotel. It's surprising that he showed up here. But judging from earlier, Little Brother seems to be more powerful than him."
"I wonder if mentioning Little Brother's name at the New Moon Hotel can get us a discount."
To this, Zhang Qi Ling calmly said, "A bone-breaking discount."
Wang Pang Zi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Little Brother, didn't expect you to be such a tease!"
Pan Zi and Wu Xie also snickered from the side.
As they walked a considerable distance, Wu Xie couldn't help but ask, "Lin Xiao Ge, what was with those gunshots just now?"
Lin Chuan said, "Silencing them, what else could it be?"
"What?!"
Wu Xie and Wang Pang Zi exchanged puzzled glances.
Wang Pang Zi complained, "It's true, those with the surname Zhang are all ruthless."
Wu Xie asked in confusion, "Why did he silence them?!"
Pan Zi guessed, "Because he let us go. If the news got out, it would be detrimental to him and those behind him."
Lin Chuan thought to himself that Pan Zi was indeed someone who had followed an old fox, and said, "Tian Zhen, Pan Zi is a lot smarter than you."
Wu Xie contemplated this, and finally sighed deeply.
"Sigh..."
"This circle is not as simple as I thought."
…
Three days later, Bei Ping, Pan Jia Yuan.
After the journey to Lu Wang's Palace.
Pan Zi returned to Xiang Sha, Wu Xie went back to Wu Shan Ju, while Ah Ning and Zhang Qi Ling went off to an unknown location.
Lin Chuan and Wang Pang Zi returned to Bei Ping.
Lin Chuan went straight to his shop and laid down for three straight days.
This trip was incredibly draining.
Especially the "Transcendent Immortal Song."
One performance.
The consumption of his vital energy, spirit, and willpower increased exponentially.
That day, coupled with the "Thunderbolt Finger" later, his energy bar had been depleted by more than half.
It took three days of rest to recover.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
Hearing a knock on the door, Lin Chuan opened it.
"Lin Zi, you really know how to sleep. You've been back for three days and I haven't seen you open the door once."
"Your phone was also off, finding you was really difficult."
Wang Pang Zi walked in from outside.
Just as Lin Chuan was about to close the door, a hand quickly stopped it.
"Lin Ye, wait, there's me too!"
Soon, another figure squeezed in.
"Jin Wan Tang?"
Lin Chuan was puzzled and asked, "Pang Zi, how come he came with you?"
This Jin Wan Tang.
Lin Chuan didn't like him, for no reason other than his cunning nature.
He would resort to any means to make money.
Jin Wan Tang didn't show any displeasure at Lin Chuan's words, instead, he greeted him with a smiling face.
"Lin Ye."
"Don't give me that hostile look every time we meet, I'm here with good news today, right?"
Lin Chuan didn't remember asking him for anything.
Wang Pang Zi said innocently, "Didn't you ask me to find out about any rare medicinal herbs that have been around for a long time?"
"Of course, I had to find Tang Tang for this kind of information."
Jin Wan Tang also slapped his thigh, "Of course, who in Pan Jia Yuan doesn't know that Jin Wan Tang has a finger on the pulse of things?"
Lin Chuan interrupted, "Stop with the small talk, what's the news? Let's hear it."
Jin Wan Tang said, "Three days from now, there will be an auction at the New Moon Hotel, and they'll be auctioning off quite a few medicinal herbs that have been around for ages."
"Lin Ye, want to go together?"
He then took out a brochure.
Handing it over.
Lin Chuan didn't believe the other party would be so kind, so he said, "Looking to get something out of me?"
Jin Wan Tang laughed, "What are you talking about? Just trying to make a friend, that's all!"
Make a friend?
Lin Chuan didn't believe it for a second.
There was definitely something he didn't know about.
He flipped open the New Moon Hotel auction brochure.
Among the medicinal herbs listed, there were Lu Huo Cao, Yu Men Jing, Ha Ma Lan, and others, all rare medicinal herbs.
Some of these herbs didn't value age.
Because their mere existence had powerful medicinal properties.
For example, Lu Huo Cao.
Legend has it that it could revive the dead.
Naturally, its medicinal power was extraordinary.
As he casually flipped through the pages.
There was a sword.
That made Lin Chuan take a closer look.
"Yuan Hong."
"From a certain Qin tomb, though it has been through thousands of years, it still shines with a cold light, sharp enough to shatter gold and stone."
Yuan Hong!
Rumored to be the sword of the Sword Saint, Gai Nie.
Unexpectedly, it was listed in the New Moon Hotel auction brochure!
Lin Chuan was a bit surprised.
"Lin Ye, you have your eye on this sword?"
"If you're going to bid on this, you'll need to prepare enough funds."
"This is considered a divine artifact in the antiques world."
Jin Wan Tang was a shrewd man, and he could tell what Lin Chuan was thinking at a glance.
"Do you think it will go for much?"
Lin Chuan asked.
"At least this much."
"Forty million!"
Jin Wan Tang extended four fingers.
Lin Chuan couldn't help but frown slightly at the number.
The price wasn't high.
He even thought it was cheap.
After all, such a divine artifact was rare and precious.
Jin Wan Tang saw his dilemma and spoke directly, "Lin Ye, is there something bothering you?"
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, "Forty million isn't expensive, but I'll need to sell some things from the shop first."
He had just been to the Lu Wang Palace.
The funds he had available were just over ten million.
Jin Wan Tang immediately smiled, "That's why I came to help you, right?"
He continued, "I heard from Pang Ye that you obtained a Jin Lu Yu Yi in Lu Bei the other day. If you were to auction that off, it would definitely fetch a hefty price. Would you like me to handle the operation for you?"
Heh.
This guy, he was waiting for me, huh.
He was saying he wanted to be a friend.
Lin Chuan sneered inwardly.
However, the Jin Lu Yu Yi did need to be sold, and the New Moon Hotel was the best channel.
"If you want to cut in on the profits, it's fine, but the starting price can't be less than this number."
Lin Chuan held up one finger.
"Don't worry, ten million, easy peasy."
Jin Wan Tang patted his chest and said.
Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Ten million, you can forget about it."
"I meant, the starting price, one hundred million."
