He's alone, but he's a tomb raider!

Contrary to Liu Yanyan's expectations of a turbulent period, Tianjin fell into an eerie calm for the next two days.

After the battle at the abandoned steel mill that night, the North China branch of NaDuTong never came to their door.

There was no phone summons, nor did anyone visit.

The investigation and reporting that Xu San mentioned seemed to have been temporarily paused.

Seeing the company suffer a setback for the first time, Liu Yanyan thought that the company was probably busy recruiting Zhang Chulan or tracking down Xia He and Lü Liang of Quanxing, and couldn't spare any manpower for the time being.

After all, it's not hard to see from what happened before that although Zhang Chulan is very young and has almost no experience in the martial arts world, the female Gu master can easily lure him with a simple honey trap.

However, judging from the company's attitude, Zhang Chulan must have other secrets!

Having finally won him over, it's only natural that the company would prioritize focusing its efforts on Zhang Chulan.

However, contrary to Liu Yanyan's guess, Qin Yun had other thoughts in mind in the face of such strange calm.

It's true that Zhang Chulan has a secret, but with the company's resources, it shouldn't take this long.

The only explanation for the delay in dealing with the Silent Shop is that Xu San's proposal has been rejected.

As for who rejected it...

"Xu Si, compared to Xu San who looks like an elite on the surface, is indeed much more difficult to deal with because he is unkempt and has a bandit-like air about him."

So quiet, they're probably gathering evidence behind the scenes!

Either don't make a move, or if you do, you'll strike right where it hurts.

Qin Yun was somewhat familiar with Xu Si's way of doing things.

Fortunately, there were no problems with the Silent Shop on the surface, nor was it involved in any ordinary murder cases, so Qin Yun was not afraid of the other party investigating.

Secondly, this unexpected quiet gave me just the right amount of time to prepare.

The day after the abandoned steel plant incident, Qin Yun drove to his private villa early in the morning.

The basement contained ancestral antiques accumulated by four generations of the Qin family through tomb raiding; a rough estimate suggested there were at least eight hundred of them.

Unfortunately, when Qin Yun activated his Golden Eyes and scanned each item, the problem was solved.

From Shang and Zhou bronzes and Han and Tang jade artifacts to Song and Yuan porcelain shards and Ming and Qing gold artifacts.

Although the collection was filled with rare treasures, with the lowest valued item selling for at least 500,000, it was a pity that not a single magical artifact was found among all these antiques!

Most of them are just ordinary antiques and treasures; they are not even considered magical artifacts, let alone magical treasures.

Of the five generations of tomb raiders, only two truly top-tier treasures survived: the Shark Tooth Sword and the Exquisite Jade Key.

In fact, I acquired both of these items by chance.

I wasn't too disappointed, after all, magical treasures and artifacts are rare and hard to come by.

In addition, he didn't have the Golden Eyes, and his ancestors had donated a lot of money.

To some extent, it's normal not to find it!

My recent achievements even seem somewhat like pure luck.

……

On the third day, on the second floor of the Silent House.

After being nourished with fresh shark blood for three consecutive days, the Shark Tooth Sword finally underwent a qualitative change.

The entire body of the Xuan Tie sword radiated a black and red aura, and the originally dormant sword veins were completely awakened. The barbarian teeth hummed, and the entire sword exuded an incomparably domineering and ferocious aura.

Qin Yun condensed a drop of his life essence blood at his fingertip and gently flicked it towards the sword.

The moment the essence blood touched the sword, the Shark Tooth Sword burst forth with a dazzling black-gold halo, the sword body trembled violently, and emitted a series of clear and melodious sword sounds, like a subject kneeling before a king.

A sense of blood connection instantly linked Qin Yun with the Shark Tooth Sword.

Only now has the Shark Tooth Sword officially recognized its master!

"With this superior magic weapon, plus Zhang Huaiyi's template."

No matter how dangerous the underground tombs are, I'm willing to venture in!

Holding the Shark Tooth Sword, the final preparation step was complete.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Qin Yun, carrying the packed tomb-raiding supplies, woke up Liu Yanyan, who had just woken up, and drove off.

Unlike his previous Toyota Prado, Qin Yun was driving a Lexus GX400.

Its appearance is square and robust, with understated and composed lines.

It lacks the ostentatious presence of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the rugged, eye-catching nature of the Land Rover Defender.

With its understated logo and matte black paint, it looks like an ordinary family luxury SUV from a distance.

However, the interior is fully wrapped in genuine leather, equipped with Mark Levinson sound system, full-time four-wheel drive, Torsen center differential, all-terrain off-road system, crawl mode, and rear differential lock.

Its robust design is understated yet perfectly suited to the needs of long-distance mountain trips and discreet travel.

Unassuming and unobtrusive, yet capable of traversing mountains and braving dangers.

Unlike daily commuting, this kind of vehicle is the best choice for tomb raiding.

"Remember, our public persona is that we are outdoor hiking enthusiasts who go into the mountains to photograph wilderness scenery and camp for inspiration."

No matter who questions you, you are not allowed to mention the words "tomb raiding," "grave robbing," or "ancient tomb."

Even if we encounter other supernatural beings, even if we are captured and forced to leave first, we should still say this.

As long as I don't give anyone a reason to criticize me, I have a way to handle this, understand?

"Don't worry, boss, I'm very tight-lipped!"

After saying that, Liu Yanyan even made a zipping motion to shut her mouth.

If it weren't for a storage magic item like the Exquisite Jade Key, Qin Yun might have been a little worried, but now...

Unless you use some magic weapon, who can explain it clearly?

To catch a cheater in the act, or a thief red-handed, without evidence, I suggest you go ahead and use my Golden Light Mantra!

……

The car traveled north in silence, heading straight for the heart of the Lesser Khingan Mountains in Northeast China.

Ao Bai, a regent minister in the early Qing Dynasty, was convicted of a crime, had his property confiscated, and suffered disgrace.

His true tomb could not possibly be located in the capital region; it would only be secretly chosen in the place where the dragon vein originates outside the pass.

After investigation by the Liu family of Xiangxi, it can now be confirmed that Ao Bai's true tomb is hidden deep within the "Three Platforms and Canopy" feng shui formation of the Lesser Khingan Mountains.

What appears to be a desolate wilderness is actually a hidden energy center of a branch dragon from beyond the Great Wall.

A few days later, Qin Yun and his companion finally arrived at the nearby county town.

After a brief rest, the two headed straight for Xiaoxinanling. When they couldn't go any further, Qin Yun put the car into the Jingjue Jade Key, much to Liu Yanyan's surprise.

Anyway, it will be revealed when we go tomb raiding later, so there's no need to hide it.

"what?"

"You're supposed to be from a prestigious family, haven't you ever seen a storage magic treasure before?"

"I've seen them before, but I've never seen one this big!"

Even so, when Liu Yanyan saw that Qin Yun possessed such a treasure, her heart was completely at ease.

No wonder they said others couldn't find evidence; now I know why!

After changing into outdoor windproof jackets and hiking boots, Qin Yun, as a hiking enthusiast, led Liu Yanyan to officially traverse mountains and valleys, venturing deep into the primeval forest.

The Lesser Khingan Mountains are covered with ancient trees, a vast expanse of forest, shrouded in mist, and with rugged and difficult mountain roads.

An ordinary person would immediately lose their way if they stepped into it.

Fortunately, both of them are superhumans, possessing not only abundant physical strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, but also Liu Yanyan's excellent sense of direction.

With her guidance, the two soon entered the deep mountain area.
