Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

Let's not discuss how the Bai family acquired this mirror.

It was indeed something that the Bai family had passed down for several generations, but it was later stolen by the Japanese and then fell into the hands of the Ding family.

The Ding family's ancestor who practiced the art of immortality and Bai Yukui's great-grandfather were friends when they were young.

So why the Japanese knew that the Bai family possessed this flawed golden star mirror is quite intriguing.

"Moreover, the precious thing about this mirror is not just the longevity technique on it, but also something else," Bai Yukui said.

At this moment, Ma Chenggang and Zhao Changming were several body lengths behind, clearly leaving space for the two of them on purpose.

"Secret? What secret?" Her words piqued Shen Qingzhou's curiosity.

"I can't tell you now, but I might need your help later." Bai Yukui smiled sweetly, with a hint of playfulness.

"Sure, but my fees are very high."

Shen Qingzhou decided that he couldn't afford to fail again this time; he had to catch this big fat sheep.

"Money is not a problem." Bai Yukui took out an exquisite business card and handed it to Shen Qingzhou.

Shen Qingzhou took it and looked at it; good heavens.

Bai Yukui, General Manager of Yongcheng International Holdings Group

Even though Shen Qingzhou was ignorant, he had heard of the Yongcheng Group. This group was involved in a wide range of industries, including real estate development, hotels, machinery manufacturing, energy, and so on. It was a very large multinational corporation.

"If I remember correctly, the chairman of Yongcheng International also has the surname Bai?"

"It is indeed my father," Bai Yukui said with a smile.

"So you don't need to worry about money at all."

"Of course, of course..."

Shen Qingzhou quickly put the business card away. This was an extremely wealthy woman. Compared to her, Su Xi was practically a little karaomi.

"You can contact me anytime if you need anything," Shen Qingzhou said.

Are you short of money?

"Isn't that obvious? Who doesn't need it?"

"I don't need it."

Shen Qingzhou was speechless for a moment. Damn it, I hate rich people.

They had arrived at the big willow tree at the village entrance. Bai Yukui turned around and waved, beckoning Ma Chenggang and Zhao Changming over.

The two people and the dog then eagerly approached, but the pit bull named King Kong was still terrified of Shen Qingzhou and hid behind him with its head down.

"We're leaving now. The money will be transferred to your account. I'll contact you again in a few days."

"Okay." Shen Qingzhou readily agreed.

At this moment, Ma Cheng stepped forward and cautiously said, "Mr. Shen, may I ask you a few questions?"

"What's the problem?"

He had a good impression of Ma Chenggang, so he didn't mind answering a few questions.

"I didn't see that old man from the Ding family's soul just now. Has he already been reincarnated? And what about those villagers...?"

In fact, Bai Yukui and Zhao Changming were also very curious about this question, and they immediately perked up their ears to listen when they heard it.

"The entire Dingjia Village was slaughtered. Do you think he could have gotten away with it? He was torn to pieces and devoured by those girls long ago. As for the villagers..."

Shen Qingzhou looked towards the village behind her and asked Ma Chenggang, "Are you pitying them?"

"No, that's not what I meant. It's understandable that they aided and abetted the evildoers, but if we just let it go unchecked, won't this place turn into a ghost village?"

"No, their souls have been deeply tormented, and their memories are already fragmented. The ancestral hall used to be a form of protection for them, but now that it's free, they're just wandering ghosts. It won't be long before they dissipate..."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Shen. I am grateful for saving my life today. This is my business card. Please feel free to call me if you need it in the future." Ma Chenggang took out a business card and handed it to Shen Qingzhou.

Ma Chenggang had a chivalrous air about him, and Shen Qingzhou didn't mind getting to know him better, so she reached out and took the business card.

Ma Chenggang, Head of Security Department, Yongcheng International Holdings Group.

Zhao Changming quickly said from the side, "I'm the young lady's bodyguard. I don't have a business card, but if you need it, I can give you my contact information."

Shen Qingzhou waved his hand, indicating that he did not want it. He did not need everyone's contact information, especially not a man's.

"goodbye."

After finishing her business, Bai Yukui showed no hesitation and immediately opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, preparing to get in.

But just then, Shen Qingzhou suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Upon hearing this, the three of them turned around, somewhat puzzled, to see what else he had to say.

Shen Qingzhou pondered for a moment, then looked at Bai Yukui and said, "You said that the Xingyi tribe is a branch of the Yi tribe, and the Yi tribe is the Yi people of today, right?"

Although Bai Yukui was somewhat puzzled as to why Shen Qingzhou suddenly asked this question, she quickly replied, "Yes, they originated from the ancient Qiang people. The ancient Qiang tribes migrated south in batches, crossing the Qilian Mountains and the Hengduan Mountains, and entered the southwest region, which is now the Yi people. Some of them remained in the Western Regions, which is the Xingyi people. Later, I don't know if it was due to the harsh environment or some other reason, but their entire tribe disappeared..."

Shen Qingzhou chuckled upon hearing this, for this was exactly the question he wanted to address.

"In oracle bone inscriptions, the Shang people listed the Qiang people alongside cattle and sheep, killing a few Qiang people for sacrifices, killing a few Qiang people for celebrations, killing a few Qiang people at gatherings... 'Conquering the Qiang,' 'Using the Qiang,' 'Mao Qiang.' How could such a race, which was on the verge of being eaten to extinction, have gained experience from being eaten? And still dream of immortality? Do you think that's possible?"

Shen Qingzhou's voice was full of sarcasm.

Clearly, this [Gold-Inlaid Galaxy Mirror] is either not an item of the Star Barbarian Clan, or the so-called longevity technique is completely fake.

Upon hearing this, Ma Chenggang and Zhao Changming felt that what Shen Qingzhou said made a lot of sense.

But Bai Yukui understood Shen Qingzhou's intention.

He said it was none of his business whether or not she practiced the art of immortality, but in reality he was worried that she would practice it. He wanted to tell her in this way that the so-called art of immortality was completely unreliable.

"Thanks."

A smile played on Bai Yukui's lips, her eyes sparkling with a hint of moisture, and her originally heroic face now held a touch of allure.

"Alright, goodbye."

Shen Qingzhou walked towards Old Man Chen without turning his head.

Seeing Shen Qingzhou leave, Bai Yukui immediately suppressed her smile and adopted a cold demeanor. "Let's go, let's get in the car too."

Seeing this, Zhao Changming quickly opened the car door for her.

Bai Yukui hugged the bag on her shoulder, closed her eyes, leaned back in the chair, let out a long sigh, and completely relaxed.

Once the car started moving and was traveling at a steady speed, she asked, "Now that the Inlaid Gold Galaxy Mirror has been retrieved, are there any clues about the remaining item?"

This time, Ma Chenggang, who was driving, didn't speak. Instead, Zhao Changming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, answered the question.

"According to the clues we've uncovered, the Ant Hole Star Chart was acquired by an antique dealer surnamed Wei. This item was buried with him as a funerary object, but his tomb has already been robbed. Judging from the signs of the robbery, it was likely done by the Southern school of occupants..."

"But the trail goes cold here. As you know, in the early days of the People's Republic of China, all these people went into hiding; some died, some changed professions..."

Bai Yukui pinched her brow upon hearing this, also feeling a headache coming on.

The Ant Hole Star Chart, also known as the Earth Latitude Shape Chart, is essential. Without it, the Inlaid Gold Star River Mirror would be useless, and all the manpower and resources she invested would be wasted.

Ma Chenggang and Zhao Changming exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke to disturb them.

They used to think that the young lady was just rich and reckless, and that they should just go along with her antics since they were being paid anyway.

But after meeting Shen Qingzhou today, they realized that there really are immortals in this world.
