Tomb raiding: Carrying a coffin during a funeral procession, rewarded with the Dragon Elephant Prajn

With the money in place, the firm's operations naturally got on track, and within a few days, they bought the shop and obtained the business license.

Funeral services fall under the category of funeral industry services, but since Li Changsheng was sending off an ordinary person, he didn't bother with any fancy signs.

Even the original furnishings of the pharmacy were not changed much; Wu Xie simply added some modern appliances and did a simple renovation of the bedroom in the backyard.

A few days later, Li Changsheng's funeral service quietly opened for business.

"Brother Li, if you don't put up a sign or cancel your appointments, when will you ever get any business?"

Li Changsheng lay leisurely on a recliner under the grapevines in the backyard, holding a newly published, thick online novel in his hand.

He was humming the most popular song of the time, "Ten Years of Hong Kong and Taiwan Singers".

"..."

If Wu Xie hadn't been spending all this time with Li Changsheng, he would have even suspected that his older brother had been replaced.

Shouldn't reclusive masters live in seclusion amidst mountains and rivers, remaining unfathomable? Why is Li Changsheng so fashionable?

Li Changsheng stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Wu Xie.

"What's the rush? Good business doesn't come from those who are eager to get it done."

The next day, Wu Xie received a letter from Wu Sansheng.

After reading the letter, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly went straight from Wushan Residence to Li Changsheng's place.

"Brother, Uncle San wrote me a letter, but the contents are very strange."

As Wu Xie spoke, he handed the letter to Li Changsheng.

The letter was unsigned, containing only an address in Xisha.

There's also a photo inside.

The photo is a group photo of an archaeological team, with Wu Xie's third uncle standing in the very center of the group.

However, Wu Sansheng in the photo looks much younger than he does now, and there are a few words in the upper left corner of the photo that read "Xisha Archaeological Team".

Wu Xie explained, "My third uncle was a member of an archaeological team when I was a child, but that was twenty years ago. And that's not the point, brother, look at this person!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the corner of the group photo.

A young man stood in the corner of the group, wearing a hooded jacket, half of his face hidden in the shadows.

But both Wu Xie and Li Changsheng could tell that this person was Zhang Qiling.

"Big brother, look at this guy, isn't that the helper Uncle Three called, the one who understands corpse language? He looks almost exactly the same, even the style of his clothes is similar. It's just that Uncle Three has aged, but how come he still looks like he's in his twenties?"

Li Changsheng stroked his chin and said, "He probably pays more attention to skincare."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie was immediately speechless.

He could still tell the difference between someone who is genuinely young and someone who looks young only because of maintenance.

"Alright, since you're here, just make the best of it. Your third uncle sent you a letter, which means there's nothing seriously wrong. You don't need to worry too much."

"That's true."

Wu Xie nodded; at least he knew his third uncle was still alive, which was good news.

Li Changsheng pondered that, according to the original plot, Zhang Qiling, disguised as the bald man, should have appeared by now, but he didn't know why he hadn't shown up yet.

He thought about it carefully and concluded that the reason was probably still with him. Wu Sansheng and his group were probably afraid that he would ruin their plans. Even if they didn't deal with him, they would probably try to find a way to secretly take Wu Xie away.

really.

Two days later, a voluptuous woman approached Li Changsheng.

"Is the owner here?"

The woman, in her early twenties, wore a purple lace dress, exuding generosity and elegance.

Everyone says that the younger sister in purple has a lot of charm, but Li Changsheng thinks the older sister in purple is also quite nice.

So he immediately looked the woman up and down, from head to toe.

"That's me."

The woman looked at Li Changsheng, who was walking out of the backyard, with a slight surprise in her eyes. She hadn't expected her boss to be so young.

Moreover, his white hair was particularly eye-catching, and he had a somewhat indescribable aura about him.

After staring at him for a moment, the woman was not angered by Li Changsheng's gaze. Instead, she slightly raised her neck, lifted the hem of her long skirt to reveal her slender, fair legs, and asked with a charming smile, "Does it look good?"

"The scenery is so beautiful it's almost edible; I'll skip lunch today."

The woman beamed with amusement, and said coquettishly, "Boss, you're really good with words. You've probably used them to fool plenty of girls..."

"You're the first one in this world to do this."

The woman didn't seem to care and simply took a business card from her handbag.

"My name is Aning, and I work for Pansuo Geological Exploration Company. This is my business card."

Geological exploration?!

Li Changsheng was slightly surprised, but casually took the business card that A Ning handed him.

The sign above indeed reads "Pansuo Geological Survey Company," complete with address, postal code, and company phone number.

But that's not the key point!

A Ning is a mercenary under Jude Kao, specializing in finding the secret to immortality for Jude Kao. And shouldn't A Ning be busy cooperating with Wu Sansheng to explore Wang Zanghai's tomb right now? Why is she coming to find me?

After a moment's thought, Li Changsheng nodded and led the person to sit down in the pavilion in the backyard.

"What do you want from me?"

"I still don't know the boss's name?"

"Li Changsheng".

Ah Ning smoothed her long, wavy hair and said thoughtfully, "Chang Sheng? That's a good name."

After she finished speaking, she took out several folded A4 sheets of paper from her handbag. They contained geological data and photos of the mountainous area.

Before Li Changsheng could ask, she began to explain the reason herself.

"Our Pansuo Geological Exploration team is employed by the local government and discovered a small silver mine in the southwest region. During the exploration process, we discovered an ancient tomb, and the team also encountered a minor accident."

"I just happened to hear from a friend that Mr. Li specializes in handling these kinds of problems, so I'd like to hire him as a consultant. As for the fee, I guarantee it will satisfy Mr. Li."

Li Changsheng neither agreed nor refused, but simply chuckled and said, "My firm has just opened. I wonder where Miss Aning heard about it?"

Ah Ning hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

"Wu Sansheng".

"I see."

Li Changsheng nodded, but was inwardly very dissatisfied.

Wu Xie's third uncle is really up to no good, trying every possible way to drag him into the conflict.

However, Wu Sansheng miscalculated one thing: Li Changsheng didn't really have any stance.

He could choose not to help the Nine Gates, the Wang family, or even Qiu Dekao, or he could help everyone.

Despite Wu Sansheng and his ilk's threats and killings against the Wang family, Li Changsheng remained unconcerned.

If the Wang family and Qiu Dekao want to research immortality, let them do it. There are plenty of wealthy people and research institutions in the world who are desperately researching immortality and longevity, many of which are public research institutions. Are we going to destroy them all?

Not to mention that Zhang's ancestors also researched immortality with the Queen Mother of the West.

Does this mean that the Zhang family is allowed to live a long life, but others are not allowed to study it?

That doesn't make sense!

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng didn't ask in detail what trouble Pansuo Company was facing, and simply nodded in agreement.
