Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

Only a businesswoman like Nida, a wealthy woman, truly doesn't care about so many things and spends money according to her mood, without having as many concerns as a cultivator.

"Speaking of the intelligence market, how's the matter I asked you to do going? Don't let everyone else be ready to leave while you're still gathering intelligence..." Chu Mingkong took a deep breath, trying his best to sit up straight while he was lazily lying down.

Unfortunately, Qingse could only say that this was indeed the case. This auction event had gathered tens of thousands of cultivators. Even if every ten people released one piece of information, those thousands of messages would keep Qingse busy for a day or two.

Screening, investigating, and organizing were all arduous tasks, and I even accompanied him to an auction in the middle.

"I can only say that I have summarized some information so far, but it is not complete, because new information is emerging every day. Your Highness, would you like to ask Nida to help organize it as well?"

Merchants from the Crescent Kingdom, but merchants from other places are better at gathering intelligence. If you promise them something, give them a gift, etc....

What gift should I give?

I'll wrap a high-quality gold jade dildo in a gift box and give it to her, hoping to ask her for a favor!

"No, let's just tell you what you've found out so far. Forget about the stuff we don't have time to organize; let's just pretend we weren't meant to find out that kind of valuable information."

There are many good things in the world, but it's impossible to own everything.

Of course, there's an exception: a peach-shaped butt...

I want them all!! (Clenched palm.jpg)

Qingse felt that this prince, who was confused in every way, occasionally said things that were worth pondering.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get it."

A graceful woman in a cheongsam walked out of the room and quickly returned, followed by several stacks of floating jade slips, before arriving in front of Chu Mingkong.

Upon seeing the sheer volume of these jade slips, Chu Mingkong understood why she had been processing them so slowly. A single jade slip could hold a vast amount of information, and the sheer weight of these several small mountains was truly astonishing.

Fortunately, these piles of jade slips were what Qingse brought out to "show off," to illustrate how difficult her work was, but in reality, the information she had compiled could be summarized in just one jade slip.

First, there's the question of "what it is." The rumors about the Day of Flourishing Yin are still a niche phenomenon, and most people don't know about it. But once a few people start asking around, some astute individuals will follow suit and inquire about what it's all about.

Chu Mingkong skipped over this part of the information, as there were too many conflicting opinions. He only needed to get information from the Wei family and the Daoist sect.

Secondly, it involves identifying which large tombs in various regions have been opened and what treasures have been unearthed.

This part of the information is quite alarming. The intelligence reports that in some places, "living people" have actually emerged from the graves, causing harm to the surrounding area. However, it is not yet certain whether these are people who actually crawled out of the coffins or guards protecting the graves.

"Can the dead really crawl out again?" Chu Mingkong became confused as he listened.

"Who knows? If they can really climb out, will death really be considered death? Logically, shouldn't the body and spirit be completely extinguished? Maybe what comes back to life is just a corpse?"

Perhaps there's no need for a body. Just like that small town, where were there any bodies left back then? Even sand could make a person.

Qingse continued to reveal information, but this remaining part mostly consisted of information from various factions.

Those with a keen eye discovered so much information about the tombs and began to peruse ancient books, searching for information about the deaths of famous ancestors mentioned within, which they then extracted and sold as intelligence.

Chu Mingkong listened and felt that what he had been asking about was not information about the Day of Flourishing Yin at all, but rather an exchange of information among tomb raiders!

"Hey......"

Seeing Chu Mingkong's lack of interest, Qingse felt a little guilty, as if his own professional skills were subpar. Although he didn't mean it that way, the unintentional regret and disappointment were even more hurtful.

She racked her brains for a while, then remembered something, patted her thigh, and her firm, plump thigh muscles jiggled, looking incredibly tender.

"There's a piece of news worth noting! I only found out about it today, and haven't had time to verify its authenticity yet!"

"Listen to it." Chu Mingkong had already given up much hope and was listening with the mindset of listening to a story.

"It's an item for auction. Someone, probably desperate for money, claims to have unearthed an ancient treasure that can reveal the celestial phenomenon of 'Great Yin'. It's already been put up for auction at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. This news came out today."

Is it fake?

"I haven't had a chance to ask yet, but if Senior Bao really accepted it, it's probably true... or even if it's an exaggeration, it must still have some unique merits."

The items put up for auction cannot be fake; they must be treasures. However, whether they can achieve the "observation of the yin time" mentioned in the intelligence market is another matter entirely.

"When will this item be auctioned? Or is it possible to borrow it in advance to take a look?"

"It seems unlikely that we can borrow it. As for the auction time, it will probably be in another five or six days...?"

Oh! Never mind then.

Chu Mingkong had only planned to attend an auction in the East China Sea to get a feel for things, but he couldn't wait another five or six days.

After the casual conversation ended, Chu Mingkong looked outside and saw that the sky had already darkened.

"Let's take advantage of the dark night and windy weather to go to Chicken Fairy Island and retrieve the spirit stones. There should be fewer people there now."

To be honest, Chu Mingkong even had a thought: should he take out a few more jade dildos and put them up for auction, fighting fire with fire?

Once others see that this is actually a common item, they might discover that the much-hyped "ancient treasure" is not a precious item at all.

However, this approach also has drawbacks. While we are still amazed that the ancients could have foreseen his extraordinary abilities, if he increases the amount of jade objects he uses, others will directly suspect that he is a strange person selling his jade objects.

His reputation has become even worse!

That's not advisable. It's better to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.

Chu Mingkong donned an outfit that concealed his face, flew to the Immortal Island in his Nirvana Domain, and went to the auction house to collect his "reputation damage compensation."

The female manager's eyes lit up when she saw him. She presented him with the jade slip representing the full amount of spirit stones and congratulated him, saying:

Did this guest attend yesterday's auction?

"No, I didn't come. I only heard that there was trouble at the auction house." Chu Mingkong stammered guiltily.

But the female manager didn't understand his tone and continued to offer her congratulations:

"Guest, you may not know this, but that half of the treasure sold for an astronomical price. Now, many people want to inquire about the place where that treasure was found at our Immortal Treasure Pavilion. Do you know... wait, where is he?"

Chu Ming fled from there as if escaping, looking at the jade piece in his hand with disdain, yet unwilling to throw it away.

Although the auction house had quieted down, the Fairy Island Market remained lively.

Just as Chu Mingkong was about to fly down from the immortal island, he keenly caught a glimpse of a scene out of the corner of his eye.

A woman was walking among the crowd. The night breeze blew by, slightly lifting the hem of her skirt and revealing a section of her flawless, slender legs and a small part of her plump, beautiful buttocks.

"?" He stared at her with a puzzled expression for a while before walking towards the woman.

Chu Mingkong's Nirvana Domain was not closed, but the woman seemed to sense his gaze and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

"I don't think I can still see things at my current level..." Chu Mingkong muttered to himself.

Chapter 103 Empty Coffin

Xiling Ancient Royal Tombs.

Although it is named Xiling, it is actually located outside of Xiling.

This is the mausoleum built by the first King of Xiling, but the old King of Chu knew one thing: this mysterious ancient mausoleum did not bury the remains of the first King of Xiling, but something else, something even more mysterious.

The air inside the ancient tomb was murky, with a strong smell of dust and mildew. The source of this stench was probably the dead rats that had wandered into the area.

At the opportune moment, a few members of the Rakshasa Society opened the long-sealed ancient tomb and walked through its corridors.

They occasionally encountered traps and tomb guardians, but the group's combat strength was extraordinary, and dealing with these minor obstacles was no problem.

There were a few minor stumbles, but they almost never stopped moving forward.

"The smell here is awful. I can barely breathe, and the dust is suffocating me!" one of them said, covering his nose.

Which cultivator with a higher level of cultivation hasn't visited the Daoist temples, secret realms, and tombs of their ancestors? It's truly rare to find one with such a strong smell of dust.

"Take a good attitude. This can be a good thing. At least it means that no one else got here before us." One of the elderly women was leaning on a cane. She walked very slowly, but she was able to keep up steadily with the group.

"That's right, it's indeed a good omen. The places I've visited before have all been trampled and ruined. If you just walk by a patch of flowers or grass, you might find that some female cultivator has sprayed water on them."

"You, the guide, are you sure there are treasures hidden here by your Chu family? What's inside?"

The old King of Chu held a square jade piece resembling a jade seal in his hand, standing in the ancient royal tomb. This extraordinary jade piece emitted a dark, oily green light, and a map of the tomb's route appeared on its surface.

This tomb is like a maze. Without this guidance, even if you don't encounter any danger, you will be trapped inside and die. This is an invisible danger. The entire tomb structure is covered with extremely yin energy, which means that it is difficult to break through the tomb and leave. You may need to prepare a large number of extremely yang pills in advance to replenish your energy.

Upon hearing the question, the old King of Chu paused slightly as a sign of courtesy before continuing to lead the way:

"I don't know, but it's definitely an extraordinary treasure that will surely satisfy everyone, including the esteemed figures at the top!"

Such words were too ambiguous, but considering that he had once offered a method for manipulating the power of extreme yin, although the method was crude, its effectiveness was undeniable, and in consideration of this merit, everyone chose to believe him for the time being, otherwise they would not have come to escort him on this journey without knowing the reason.

"It would be truly hilarious if you opened the last closed door and found your grandfather's remains inside," someone joked.

Wei Zhong followed the group in silence, his attention gradually drawn to the murals on both sides of the corridor. They seemed to depict a prosperous organization in ancient times, but they were completely outside his field of knowledge.

These murals depict a gathering, but there are no human figures on them. Some are just a piece of clothing, while others are a blur of camouflage, making them difficult to decipher.

It is certain that this is not a matter of the Xiling Chu clan. It is indeed an ancient royal tomb, dating back to an even more ancient time. It was just discovered by the first Xiling King, who used it as a treasure trove for his collection of treasures.

Wei Zhong secretly chuckled to himself, hoping that the treasures here wouldn't just be a pile of gold and silver jewelry, which wouldn't be much different from scrap metal!

"rustle......"

"?!" Wei Zhong stopped and turned around abruptly, but saw no one.

Didn't I just hear a sound, like the sound of sand being stepped on and rubbing, but my vision and senses didn't pick up on it?

The shadow beneath Wei Zhong's feet vanished, searching for what lay behind him, but found nothing.

The journey continued, and we came upon an ancient royal tomb built in the mountains, which turned out to be much larger than we had imagined.

Wei Zhong soon discovered that his old companion, the King of Chu, had become highly excited, and the others were also affected by a strange sense of excitement. In fact, Wei Zhong himself was also excited, but he was focused on being vigilant and was not affected too much.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, we finally arrived at a heavy stone door!

Wei Zhong wanted to examine the carvings on the stone door more closely, but the old King of Chu had already pushed the stone door open, and dust billowed out like a thick fog.

The old King of Chu charged in like a rocket, smashing a hole through the smoke and dust.

He was so excited that, judging by the time, they had been wandering around this ancient royal tomb for two or three days, constantly going in circles, and were almost starting to doubt whether the ancient royal tomb really contained anything.

Fortunately, at this moment, they finally arrived at the main burial chamber.

Boom—

After some probing and confirming that there were no traps or ambushes left behind, the old King of Chu pushed open the stone coffin. Wei Zhong, however, was not interested in that; he was more curious about who this ancient royal tomb belonged to.

The murals on both sides of the road were rather strange, and none of them could be found in the shamanic community.

Staring at the stone carvings on the main tomb chamber door, Wei Zhong suddenly realized that the old King of Chu's reaction was not right.
