Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

inside the room.

Partridge Whistle took out the Muchen Pearl.

Old Yangren and Hua Ling both came over.

They all carried a curse, and they thought that by finding the Muchen Pearl, they could break the curse.

Who knew that after entering the tomb of King Xian and bringing back the Muchen Pearl, the curse on him not only failed to be removed, but became even more severe.

The horizontal lines on the blood-red eye of the one they reached out to were even deeper.

It may not be long before the curse takes effect.

"Senior brother, what should we do now?"

Hua Ling looked at Partridge Whistle with some worry.

For thousands of years, countless Mountain Moving Taoists have been searching for the Muchen Pearl, but unfortunately, they have found no clues.

It would be such a pity if they were still dead after finally finding them.

“I’m not entirely sure either, but Mr. Su said that to break the curse, a special ritual and a special location are required.” Partridge Whistle frowned. “But we have no clue what to do right now.”

"Let's ask Mr. Su tomorrow and see what his countermeasures are."

That's all it can do now.

……

Sujia Village is getting better almost every day.

On his first day back, Su Chen began to patrol the village.

Sixth Uncle Su Renxiu led several members of the guard team to Changsha City, so the village's defenses are relatively weak today.

Su Chen looked around, which could be considered as filling in any gaps or omissions.

"Xiao Chen!"

The old clan chief had already gotten up. "The school has already started classes. Shall we go take a look?"

When I returned last time, the old clan chief had already hired a tutor.

However, the school has not yet been built, so classes are currently being held in a side hall of the ancestral hall.

"Go and see."

Su Chen nodded.

Led by the old clan chief, Su Chen went to the ancestral hall.

There are four children in Sujia Village, aged between three and seven years old.

The teacher in charge of the class was a middle-aged man in his thirties who looked somewhat shabby. He wore a faded long robe and had a crew cut.

Su Chen watched from a distance for a few moments.

This teacher is teaching math.

The method used was naturally a new teaching method, which Su Chen had requested beforehand.

"This teacher's surname is Chen, and he graduated from the First Normal School of the province."

The old clan chief explained.

The First Provincial Normal School is the abbreviation for the First Provincial Normal School, which is considered the best normal university in the province.

There are many highly learned elderly gentlemen among them.

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"Build the school as soon as possible, so that it won't be confined to a side room in the ancestral hall," Su Chen said.

"It should be completed before the end of the year."

The old clan chief said.

The two chatted as they walked outside.

Today, Sujia Village has undergone tremendous changes and is thriving and prosperous.

The increasing amount of farmland has provided these villagers with a source of income.

On average, almost everyone could get sixty mu of land.

Later, when Su Chen has more money, he will buy more land, and the entire Su Family Village will become even more prosperous.

"Elder Chief, how's the search going, regarding the Su Family Village members you asked to help find who have been wandering elsewhere?"

Su Chen asked.

Finding villagers will further boost the family's progress bar.

There are only 20 progress points left to reach level 3 family.

“Over the years, they have been displaced and have become quite difficult to find. We were lucky to find three people last time,” the old clan chief sighed. “But recently I have some leads and should be able to find a few more.”

In those days, transportation was difficult and communication was underdeveloped.

Many people from Sujia Village went out to seek a better life, going to all corners of the country.

It's too difficult to find any trace of them.

"Take your time, there's no rush."

Su Chen said.

This kind of thing can't be accomplished overnight.

Finding one would be ideal, but if not, we can only keep recruiting unofficial members.

……

After leaving the ancestral hall, Su Chen went to check the city wall.

The city wall is halfway built, and it will probably take about six months to complete.

Those bunkers are still under construction.

More and more fields are being built outside Sujia Village, and thousands of long-term and short-term workers are busy in the fields.

Long-term laborers earn ten coins a day, while short-term laborers earn seven coins a day.

One silver dollar was roughly equal to one thousand copper coins.

One penny has decent purchasing power; it can buy a sesame seed cake, enough for a family's daily expenses, with a little left over.

With so many workers, it would cost about ten dollars a day.

For Sujia Village today, ten silver dollars a day is not bad.

Su Chen glanced at the system panel; he now had 51,600 silver dollars.

It must have been Sixth Uncle Su Renxiu who sold off all the funerary objects.

The tomb of King Xian contained many treasures.

Including the daily expenses of the people in Sujia Village, the total was twenty silver dollars.

That much money is enough to last for several years.

Of course, this is just the basic daily expenses. Sujia Village is currently undergoing a major construction project, building bunkers and city walls, which is costing a lot.

We still need to keep earning money.

Let's rest for a few days and then go to Kunlun Heavenly Palace.

When it was lunchtime, Su Chen returned to the mansion.

While having dinner with Blackback Lao Liu and the others, Hua Ling spoke first at the table, "Mr. Su, the few Deer Living Grasses you gave me before, under my careful cultivation, have actually transformed into top-grade Deer Living Grasses."

"The other few common Deergrass plants also seem to be in good condition and are showing signs of transformation."

Hua Ling was somewhat surprised. Why were the fertile fields of the Su family so good?

"Thank you for your help during this time."

Su Chen thanked him.

The transformation into the finest Deer-living Grass owes much to the Flower Spirit.

Of course, this is also related to the clan fields of Sujia Village.

The Ghost Seal brought a 300% increase to the clan's fields, the Two Rings brought a 100% increase, and the Legalist Bronze Mirror brought a 200% increase.

The current yield of clan fields is as high as 600%, with a very high probability of producing rare and precious materials.

The grains grown there are plump and full, this year is sure to be a bumper harvest!

"Please keep this top-grade Deer-Life Grass for me and give it to me later," Su Chen instructed.

The effects of top-grade deer antler velvet are so powerful that it can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones.

The fact that this herb saved the old foreigner shows its extraordinary nature.

This is something that can save your life.

Su Chen planned to put the top-grade deer venom grass into the system warehouse after Hua Ling had collected it.

If you were seriously injured during that tomb raiding, you can take it at any time.

"Yes, Mr. Su!"

Hua Ling nodded, then looked at Partridge Whistle and then at the old foreigner.

After a moment of silence, Hua Ling mustered her courage and continued, "Mr. Su, I would like to ask about the Muchen Pearl."

"We hope you can point us in the right direction."

Partridge Whistle also spoke up, "Clan Chief Su, to be honest, since we obtained the Muchen Pearl, our curse has not only failed to lessen, but has become even more severe."

"If I don't find a solution soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer."

Partridge Whistle let out a long sigh.

Su Chen had already helped him several times, and now that he needed Su Chen's help again, Partridge Whistle felt a little guilty.
