“Old Hu, Fatty, we’ve all been cursed by the Ghost Cave. We’re in the same boat now, follow me.”
“I, Hu Ba Yi, already made up my mind to follow you.”
“Me too, Fatty.”
“We, the Zaglama tribe, have been searching for the Kwi-chin Pearl for thousands of years. If you can find it, we’ll follow you!”
Lu Feng nodded slightly. They were a team now.
“So many people from the archaeological team died this time, and Professor Chen went crazy. The higher-ups will definitely investigate when we get back. Sherry will decide what we can and can’t say.”
“Absolutely, we will cooperate!”
This was a very serious problem. If they didn’t explain themselves properly, they would become criminals.
“Fatty, when we get back, I’m going to teach you martial arts. If you touch anything without my say-so, I’ll cripple you.”
Wang Fatty shuddered, “No, never!”
After the arrangements were made, Lu Feng talked to Hu Ba Yi alone.
“You mean as long as I swear an oath, I can get a cultivation method that can change my destiny?” Hu Ba Yi stared at Lu Feng intently, pondering the truth of his words.
“Yes.”
Hu Ba Yi remained silent for a long time before finally making up his mind to gamble.
“Good! I, Hu Ba Yi, swear that I will never pass this cultivation method on to anyone else, and I will never harm Lu Feng or his family for the rest of my life. If I break this oath, I will bleed from all seven orifices and die!”
Lu Feng nodded, “This is the Five Heart Facing Heaven cultivation method.”
“Th-this, is this a cultivation method that can enhance gene strength?”
Hu Ba Yi was stunned.
Enhance gene strength?
This is a strengthening of life level!
If the human life level could be constantly enhanced, would they still be weak?
Even without practicing martial arts, they could be immensely powerful, right?
Before, he had been thinking that it would take him ten or eight years to reach Lu Feng’s level, but now it seems he wouldn’t need that long.
No wonder Lu Feng made him swear. If he were in Lu Feng’s shoes, he would do the same.
“Why me?”
“Destiny.”
The next day.
Lu Feng returned to the camp.
“Uncle Anliman.”
“Brother Lu, Brother Hu… Hu Da bless, you’re back safely!” Anliman’s heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled.
“Where are Chu Jian and Ye Yixin?”
Anliman was a bit confused.
“We encountered some things in the ancient city of Jingjue. And this is Miss Wuchan. We brought her with us because she got caught in the black sandstorm.”
“May they rest in peace.”
“We know.”
After a brief conversation, the group rode their camels away.
Just two days after Lu Feng and the others left, Zaglama Mountain was hit by another black sandstorm, once again engulfing the ancient city of Jingjue.
Wuchan looked towards the ancient city of Jingjue, her brow furrowed.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Feng asked.
“Nothing.” Wuchan shook her head.
Sherry Yang seemed to have thought of something, “Queen Wuchan, legend has it that countless divine thunderbolts struck when the Allied Forces conquered the Jingjue Kingdom. What was that about?”
“It was the Thunder God.”
“The Thunder God?”
“The Thunder God was originally the true god who protected the Western Regions. Because I abused the power of the Boundless Demon Eye, I angered the other nations, and the sacrifices of those nations received a response from the Gyi, and they sent down divine punishment.”
“Is this still the world I know?”
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Fatty were stunned.
They hadn’t even figured out the snake god, and now there was another Thunder God.
On the way back, Lu Feng kept checking the Mall.
Either there were no new items, or there was nothing he needed.
Half a month later.
The group returned to the town, Sherry Yang quickly settled Anliman’s payment, and then boarded the train back to Beijing.
“Has the world become like this?”
Wuchan sighed, looking at the scenery outside the window.
…
…
Back in Beijing, Lu Feng settled Queen Jingjue.
Sherry Yang took Professor Chen back to report, and soon, Lu Feng and the others were also investigated. It wasn’t until a week later that everyone regained their freedom.
Da Jin Ya personally hosted a banquet to celebrate everyone’s safe return.
“Finally free,” Wang Fatty sprawled on his chair without any elegance. “This archaeological team is such a pain.”
“Four dead, one crazy, a big event like this, of course, they had to investigate.”
Da Jin Ya was also depressed. He was the one who connected them. If this got out, how many people would still dare to ask him to find people?
“The good thing is, all of you are safe, that’s something to celebrate. Come on, everyone, drink.”
“That’s right, drink!”
“Drink!”
Lu Feng joined the others in eating and drinking freely. Queen Jingjue, Wuchan, took a bite and then ate her food in silence, looking rather aloof.
After eating and drinking, everyone went to Da Jin Ya’s base.
“Master Lu, Master Hu, Master Fatty, you must have had a great haul from this trip to the ancient city of Jingjue, right?” Da Jin Ya rubbed his hands.
“Well—“
Wang Fatty started to speak, then shut his mouth. He not only had the habit of being too greedy, but also the habit of talking too much, “You have to ask Lu Feng about that.”
Lu Feng waved his right hand, and hundreds of treasures appeared on the ground.
Da Jin Ya rubbed his eyes, looking at Lu Feng in astonishment, “Master Lu, what kind of magic is this? You can actually conjure things up?”
“Just consider it magic, take a look.”
“Okay.”
What Lu Feng brought out were the treasures found by the foreign tomb robbers, including a dozen or so that would become the crown jewels of eight national museums in later generations.
“Master Lu, these things are quite valuable.”
Da Jin Ya swallowed, feeling both surprised and worried, “The liquidity I have on hand, I’m afraid you’ve just drained it dry.”
“How much?”
Wang Fatty only cared about money, he didn’t understand anything else.
“Wait a minute, let me calculate. This jade pot from the Han Dynasty is worth 6 million, this one…” Da Jin Ya took out his calculator and started to calculate the price.
A few minutes later.
Da Jin Ya put down his calculator and wiped the sweat from his forehead, “These add up to 53.76 million. I’ll round it up to 54 million, how’s that?”
“Okay.”
Lu Feng nodded and said, “Divide the money into two parts, give 14 million to Old Hu and Fatty.”
“14 million!”
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Fatty’s eyes widened.
They thought they would be lucky to get a few million, but Lu Feng had given them so much.
Da Jin Ya was also surprised.
Hu Ba Yi and Fatty were indeed lucky.
“Boss Jin, we have a rhino horn cup here, can you give us an estimate.” Hu Ba Yi took out the rhino horn cup given to him by Queen Jingjue.
“You’re still hiding such good things?”
Da Jin Ya’s eyes lit up. He found that it wasn’t stained with corpse energy, and immediately said, “I’ll take it for 6 million!”
“My god!”
Hu Ba Yi exclaimed.
That meant they would have 20 million, 10 million each!
“I also have some other things here, can you estimate them as well?”
Lu Feng took out another part of the Jingjue Kingdom’s treasures, mostly gold and silver ornaments, and got another 13 million.
“Master Lu, you must have more, right?”
“Yes.”
“Unfortunately, I don’t have that much money.”
“Contact the New Moon Hotel.”
