Start cultivating immortality by slacking off and posting ads

Chapter 127: The Secret Vault in the Cemetery Hidden Mystery, the New Year Auction Stirs Up Waves

[Lianyue Tower] is the largest and most luxuriously decorated inn on Yuequan Island.

Most of the guests staying here are wealthy businessmen who travel to nearby islands and wealthy monks.

Preparing breakfast and other things is naturally the basis.

"Meals can be delivered to the room, and you can also dine in a dedicated restaurant. This is no different from the hotels in my previous life."

Tang Hao stretched and walked out of the courtyard where he lived.

He checked in at midnight yesterday, and luckily no one climbed into the bed in the second half of the night, so he slept well.

In addition, after being promoted to the foundation-building stage, the amount of sleep required has been reduced, and I feel refreshed after waking up.

Following the instructions, we arrived at a bright restaurant full of island style.

There are two options for breakfast, one is a buffet style, and the other is a normal order style.

The first type of expense is directly included in the accommodation fee. Tang Hao is considered a wealthy man now, but he does not intend to be extravagant. He simply chooses some food in the buffet area and sits down.

"Tsk tsk, it's an island indeed. Even breakfast, most of the food is related to seafood."

As an inland resident in his previous life, Tang Hao mostly ate river fish. As for seafood, although it was not rare, it was not something he would eat every day.

Especially in the world of cultivating immortals, the unpolluted seafood was so delicious that he almost bit his tongue even if it was just a bowl of seafood porridge.

Just as he was enjoying his meal, two voices called out, "Good morning, Daoist Guangbai!"

"Good morning, both of you!" Tang Hao recognized the people as soon as he heard their voices. He looked up and saw that it was indeed the Nan brothers and sisters.

After sitting down, Nan Liansong's face showed gratitude, and he whispered a thank you: "I have heard about what happened last night from my sister. Thank you for your help."

"So you just told your brother about climbing into bed?" Tang Hao gave Nan Lianzhu a strange look.

The girl noticed his gaze and gave him a faint smile, as if she didn't care at all.

"That's right. It was influenced by external forces, and it didn't cause any consequences. I'd be petty to make such a big deal about it."

Thinking of this, Tang Hao relaxed and chatted casually with the two of them.

The three of them ate and chatted, and they were in great harmony for a while.

"Boss Li, we meet again!"

"Boss Zhang, it's fate!"

The voice rang in his ears, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look over.

Only then did I realize that most of the guests were already seated in the restaurant without me noticing.

Tang Hao was about to speed up, go out for a walk after eating, and then check out the area near the Quan family's secret vault. However, the subsequent conversation between the two parties caught his attention.

"You seem to be in a hurry. Are you planning to leave the island today? The Quan family's Spring Festival auction is the day after tomorrow. Isn't Boss Li planning to attend?"

"Hey! I have a batch of goods on hand that's urgent and can't wait any longer."

"It's a pity. It's said there are a lot of good stuff this time. Didn't you see that the [Lianyue Building] is packed with people? Most of them came for the auction."

"The Quan family's Spring Festival auction?" Tang Hao looked surprised.

When the merchant ship landed on the island, he felt that there were quite a lot of tourists on the island. It turned out that they were attracted by the auction.

Noticing his expression, Nan Lianzhu whispered, "This auction mainly features large quantities of marine goods, as well as rare treasures from the desolate sea, cultivation resources, and so on."

"We originally came here for this auction, but now it doesn't matter." When she said this, a trace of distress flashed across her face.

She had already talked with her brother on the way here.

The [Blood Shark Pearl] is probably extremely difficult to obtain. Even if Yuequan Island is likely to need an antidote, their identities may not be enough to negotiate with the other party.

"How did you know there were clues about Yuequan Island?" Tang Hao had been curious about this all along, but he hadn't had the chance to ask. The Nan siblings exchanged glances, both looking a bit unsure of where to begin.

In the end, it was Nan Lianzhu who cleared up his confusion. She smoothed the hair by her ears, organized her words and spoke.

"There was a fellow disciple who had been entangled with the Gu Mother for a long time. Somehow, the two of them developed feelings for each other and even lived together on weekdays." A hint of absurdity flashed across her face.

Nan Liansong, who had been paying attention to his sister, noticed her expression and couldn't help but curl his lips and glanced at Tang Hao inadvertently.

Nan Lianzhu continued, "In their daily conversations, they occasionally mentioned that the first Gu Mothers all came out from here, so the sect sent us here to check out the situation."

"It seems that your clan has quite a few situations similar to Lu Xiu's!" Tang Hao shook his head and sighed.

The two people on the other side were already aware of the relationship between his two aliases, so there was no need for him to be very reserved in his words.

Nan Liansong also sighed and said, "Indeed, my brother and I have dealt with quite a few in recent years, but we are still worried about new fellow disciples falling into the trap."

"This is indeed difficult to prevent." Tang Hao nodded in agreement.

"Sister Jue only uses the excuse of thanking me for my kindness to get close to me. If it weren't for this special situation, even if Nan Lianzhu interrupted me, I'm afraid I would still lose my virginity." Just thinking about it made him shudder.

After dinner, the two sides separated.

The Nan brothers and sisters planned to go to various hidden shops and even the black market to have a look. Although the chances of buying the [Blood Shark Pearl] were slim, they had to do something.

Tang Hao also went to the Quan family's secret vault as planned early in the morning.

As for whether Beishan Ming would take the opportunity to run away, he didn't seem worried at all.

After coming out of [Lianyue Building], he found an older sister who looked like a local. With his handsome face, he was able to make her smile with just a few words.

Under the pretext of inquiring about famous scenic spots and landmark buildings, he indirectly found out the location of the Quan family's secret library.

It's not quite an indirect hint, but he just said, "I heard the mermaid pearls are very beautiful. I'm very curious. Where can I get my hands on one and take a look?"

Before I could even respond, the elder sister finished speaking like pouring beans.

"They are all in the secret vault of the Quan family cemetery. Listen to me, don't bother looking for the mermaid pearl. My brother will marry a woman from the Quan family. Maybe one of the elder or younger sisters-in-law is the one who has the pearl."

Then, the eldest sister enthusiastically promoted herself: "I'm 28 years old, a widow with three children. I'm the sister-in-law of my husband's sister, a real sister. I'm a pearl girl. Would you consider me, brother?"

After being rejected by Tang Haoyi in a righteous manner, the other party compromised and was prepared to be his tour guide for free.

"This lady is so welcoming! Not only did she point me in the right direction, she also insisted on taking me there. These people are so simple and honest!"

After finally declining his elder sister's offer to accompany him on the tour, Tang Hao strolled over there.

"The Quan family is really strange. The secret vault is actually in the cemetery, and it seems that this matter is known to everyone."

Standing outside the Quan Family Cemetery, Tang Hao looked at the endless stream of people and felt a little embarrassed: "This is actually a tourist attraction."

He bought a ticket and followed the crowd to tour the area.

"I thought they were tourists, but it turns out most of them are descendants of the Quan family. Since it's not a festival, are they all here to pay their respects?"

The entire cemetery is built in a small lake, and people walk on artificial land that is several meters wide, not a bridge.

From time to time, people would stop at a spring, offer their respects, and then throw pebble-like stones into it.

Walking all the way to the center of the cemetery, Tang Hao glanced at the tightly guarded courtyard with a sign saying "Secret Vault" hanging on one side.

Looking at the other side, there were people coming in and out from time to time, and a tall and majestic building with a banner promoting the New Year auction hanging on it.

"Well! An auction is also held in a cemetery, how bizarre."

Tang Hao complained in his heart and was about to move.

Suddenly thinking of the top-grade [Foundation-Building Pill] in the ring, his expression changed and he walked into the tall building.
