Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Seeing Qin Henian avoiding her, Cang Feng felt a surge of anger, but she quickly suppressed it.

It's alright, he and Ahe are a match made in heaven, no one can separate them.

"Ah He, I'm leaving now. Wait for me, I will find you. We are born the same kind of beast, a match made in heaven."

The body of the Hidden Phoenix was formed from a drop of his essence blood. Because of insufficient energy, it was hidden in an egg. It was only after it gained familiar power that it hatched. All it wanted was to see that person. Now that it has seen him, although the content of the conversation is similar to before, it doesn't matter. Sooner or later, Ahe will understand him and be with him.

As Cangfeng finished speaking, his body gradually collapsed, shattering into pieces and disappearing from the spot.

If we're talking about who's happiest about the disappearance of the red eggs, it has to be Little Heavenly Dao! Finally, there's no more beasts usurping his place!! Yay!

"Little Crane! My house is clean now, but my most precious coffin has been taken away. When are you going to help me find the remaining five pieces of meteorite jade?"

"Once I have enough energy, I can find my precious coffin myself!"

Little Crane gave us a piece of meteorite energy before, and later someone sent two more to the Bronze Gate. Although the meteorite power on the altar is almost gone, who is the Heavenly Dao?! This is power I saved up! Consider it as being lent out before!

Once this jade has been nurtured in his home for a few years, it will automatically generate energy, and then there will be no fear of not being able to reclaim its power! Nice!

"Hurry up! I just finished my work, you skinflint!"

Qin Henian rolled his eyes at the little kid on the ground, speechless, and muttered something.

"Are you looking for meteorite jade?"

Hei Xiazi was puzzled when he heard about the meteorite and connected with the two people's brainwaves.

Meteorite!

Zhang Qilin frowned subconsciously when he heard this word, and turned to look at the person who had spoken.

Xiao Tiandao: "The thing is... (omitted n words, blah blah blah)..." After a thousand years of rambling, Xiao Tiandao got to the point, explaining that his previous power had been absorbed by an external meteorite, and that he was extremely weak before (this weakness is not the same as that weakness). After absorbing his power, the meteorite shattered and is now scattered all over the world. Fearing that it might affect the world, he had been rambling on for a thousand years, begging Qin Henian to help clean up this mess.

"So you mean you want our Henian to work for you for free?"

When Black Bear hears that he has to do some work, his first instinct is to ask for a price. No matter what kind of work it is, there has to be an equal exchange, and he has to give something in return.

"Sigh! Blind man, I'd almost forgotten! Oh yeah! Little Heavenly Dao, don't you owe me something?!"

Upon hearing Hei Xiazi's words, Qin Henian suddenly realized that he had been taken advantage of earlier, and quickly retorted by raising the price on the spot.

"Ahem... Well... I never said I was asking you to do work for free, Little Crane..."

"Tell me, Little Crane, what do you want? Let me see if I have it. If I do, I'll definitely give it to you. If I don't, I'll steal it from a less desirable little world for you!"

Oh dear... Actually, Little Heavenly Dao originally intended to make Little Crane work for it for free. Anyway, since its body is small now, it's very good at using the tricks of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. It had been more than two thousand years of pestering Qin Henian to finally get him to agree to help. Now that it's suddenly being asked for payment, it hasn't thought of what to give yet, so it's tentatively asking.

"Then giving me some merit isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Qin Henian blinked and smiled as he spoke.

No matter where you are, as long as you're in the Great Dao World, there's nothing that merit can't accomplish. He's an honest person; accumulating more merit will give him something to hold as collateral for future endeavors...

"Merit?"

"Damn it... my little world hasn't even experienced a spiritual energy revival yet, but there are signs of a yin energy revival... but where am I going to earn merit from the revival of ghosts! I can still accumulate yin merit... but where am I going to get real merit?"

Moreover, even if Little Heavenly Dao had it, it had only managed to accumulate a tiny bit over tens of millions of years! Little Heavenly Dao's eyes reddened, and its little mouth twitched as it was about to cry.

"You'll get things done if you pay me..."

Qin Henian isn't stupid; they've known each other for thousands of years, who doesn't know who? Today, he's going to get a piece of meat out of him no matter what.

"........."

About half an hour later, amidst Xiao Tiandao's heartbreak and Qin Henian's feigned deafness, they successfully swindled a small reward. Thinking about how the altar inside the bronze gate was now empty, and the coffin that Xiao Tiandao had mentioned depicting the ultimate essence of all things was gone, Qin Henian and the other two exchanged glances, deciding they had no intention of staying in this dilapidated door any longer...

...........................................

In the attic of an antique shop in Changsha.

"Is this news accurate? They really did find a tomb here in Changsha!!!"

Wu Xie sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, a cigarette between his fingers, looking tired. At first, he thought it was nothing serious when he saw Wang Meng come upstairs, but as soon as she got to him, she made a big fuss. Wu Xie looked up at Wang Meng uncertainly and asked.

"Of course it's true! I heard this from the underworld!"

"Boss, as you know, there are many Han Dynasty tombs in Changsha. Countless of them have been discovered by higher-ups. This place is an old forest, and it hasn't been discovered by the higher-ups yet. But I heard that someone in the Daoist sect discovered this new tomb and, because he was alone at the time, chose not to go down into the tomb but instead sold the information!"

Wang Meng was a little excited when he received the news. These past few days, his boss had been looking for information about the tomb, trying to get some things out to bolster his reputation. After all, his boss had been spending a lot of money on the old Third Master's inventory to raise funds, which clearly meant that he was in urgent need of money for something big.

"Have you found out the location?"

Wu Xie wasn't a fool after visiting so many tombs; he still had to ask the questions that needed to be asked.

Wang Meng wasn't stupid either. She reached into her pocket and rummaged around for a while before pulling out a stack of "manual maps" that were slightly damp with sweat.

"This place is on the map drawn by that man. I've inquired around in the underworld and confirmed it's correct. Now it's up to you, boss, when you plan to go!"

Wang Meng is efficient and listens to Wu Xie.

"There's no time like the present. Call Panzi, tell Fatty to bring some more men, get the gear ready, and set off in the dark after midnight tonight!"

Once Wu Xie made up his mind to go into the tomb himself, he wouldn't delay. In recent days, Wu Xie not only dealt with a lot of Wu Sanxing's business, but also recruited a lot of people. Just in case, given his strange constitution, Wu Xie decided to bring Pan Zi and Fatty along as well.
