Although she may not be as beautiful as them, she was still quite a looker. Back when she had attended school, she ranked among the top of the campus beauties. As such, while she might be losing in the looks department, she would not give up, believing that one day, she would conquer the heart of her male god.

“Qinling, that sounds great! I’ve always wanted to go there. I’ve heard there are many large tombs in that area!” Zhang Shunyong stroked his chin, his interest piqued.

“Let’s go, Old Luo! We’ll dig up Emperor Qin Shihuang’s tomb!” “Really, you want to dig in that place? Aren’t you afraid you’ll die in there?”

“Hahaha, seriously, those tombs have already been discovered by the authorities and are protected. You still want to dig?”

In any case, the mysterious place, Qinling, had piqued the interest of many wealthy young heirs, who all expressed their desire to go.

However, due to its long distance from Jiangnan, it was expected that some would drop out. Nevertheless, Luo Feng was undeterred, as he knew that once they reached Qinling, the local wealthy heirs might join the group as well.

During this time, affluent young people from all over the country were urging Luo Feng to visit their hometowns to dig for treasure.

Three days quickly passed, and upon their arrival, they were warmly greeted by an enthusiastic group of treasure-hunting heirs in Qinling.

As for obtaining the necessary permits, with the help of these local second-generation heirs, it was effortlessly settled with no issues.

All in all, the cost of obtaining excavation rights for Qinling amounted to over 50 million yuan.

Although the price seemed steep, considering the vast area of Qinling, it was actually relatively cheap. With the help of the wealthy heirs, these expenses were not a problem.

“Brother Luo, we’ve got the permit for you! But you should know, Qinling is different from other places. There are many restrictions in place. You should listen to them first, and then decide whether you want to spend the 50 million or not.” The person speaking was called Zhou Weiguo, a wealthy heir from Qinling whose father made his fortune in the mining industry. He had since transitioned into the real estate business.

“Alright, Brother Zhou, speak,” Luo Feng said over the phone from his hotel room.

“In recent years, to protect Qinling, no industrial mining is allowed!”

“Of course, if you dig privately without using large mining machinery, it is permissible! Whatever you dig up, you can take away!”

Although Luo Feng did not understand why such restrictions existed, he nodded and asked, “Are there any other constraints?”

“That’s it! But 50 million is still quite expensive!” Zhou Weiguo laughed.

“Haha, a little expensive is fine, after all, this is Qinling! This is where 800 miles of the Qin River and a hundred thousand ancient tombs lie in! Finding just one such ancient tomb would immediately offset this 50 million expenditure!”

Of course, Luo Feng knew that the ancient tombs were likely tucked away on the outskirts of Qinling, and they had hardly ever been discovered deep within the mountains. It was for this reason the local forestry bureau had approved Luo Feng’s permit, but only for the deep mountain areas.

He was a true expert, after all.

Had it been anyone else applying, they could dig wherever they wanted as long as they paid the fee. But Luo Feng was different; being an expert, he was only allowed to apply for permits for areas deep in the mountains that were not easily accessible.

To obtain a permit for an area with many ancient tombs in the Qinling Mountains, you would not think the authorities were foolish, would you?

“Alright, Shishi, Brother An, everything is settled!” After expressing his gratitude to Zhou Weiguo, Luo Feng smiled and spoke to the people around him.

“Little Luo, are you going to livestream tomorrow?” In the hotel was a small shareholder of the livestreaming platform, named Zhang Zifan. Since he was a local from the Qinling area, Luo Feng was sure to treat him to dinner.

“Yes, either the day after tomorrow or tomorrow. In any case, we have had enough rest!” Luo Feng replied.

“Great, is it confirmed that you’re going deep into the Qinling Mountains?”

“Absolutely!”

“In that case, I can start promoting you!” Zhang Zifan made a phone call to the promotion department of the platform. Immediately, an overwhelming amount of promotional materials and advertisements appeared on the platform, with various channels time slots being purchased to direct traffic towards Luo Feng’s latest livestream. The news quickly reached the top of the trending list:

[ Treasure Hunter Luo Feng! Livestream begins tomorrow! Next stop…..]

The platform acted swiftly, not disclosing the location yet, allowing people to guess and build anticipation before revealing it later.

“Damn! They said he would rest for three days, but it’s been five days already? And he’s just starting the livestream?” Some viewers complained.

“Five days! Do you know how I spent these five days? I visited his channel at least eighty times! Each time, it was just a replay of his previous treasure hunts!” Another viewer added.

“Curious about where the host is going next.”

“Come dig in the capital! Once a significant tomb is discovered here, it will be incredible!”

“Haha! Be careful not to dig up your ancestors’ graves; you will end up laughing then!”

“Get lost! ”

“Why so fierce? Do you want the host to dig up your family’s ancestral grave?”

The banter continued until the next day, when, after having breakfast at the hotel, more than ten luxury off-road vehicles set off towards the Qinling Mountains. Luo Feng, driving the car and sitting in the main driver’s seat, greeted everyone, “Hello, everyone! Your emperor has returned!”

“I am your empress!” Li Shishi, having gotten used to making such jokes, became more fond of them, thinking that she might as well take advantage of her future husband.

“Damn, dog food right at the beginning of the livestream!” “I am here to watch treasure hunting, not to eat dog food!” “Actually, eating it occasionally is not bad!”

“Shishi, sweetheart! Can you give us a shot of your legs?”

“Emmm, you came to see legs? Why don’t you go next door if this is the content you like?”

“The legs next door are three meters long and completely distorted. I can’t appreciate them!”

“Hahaha, the beauties on the host’s side are all natural, right?”

“That’s right! It’s been so long since we’ve seen the Long-legged Woman too.

We miss her!”

“You’re just missing her legs, right?”

“Yuan Shu: I miss them! I think about them day and night!” “By the way, where the hell are we? Why are there so many ravines?”

“Have we left the south of the Yangtze River?”

Suddenly, many viewers in the livestream room felt that something was off when they saw the scenery outside the car.

“Damn, it looks like the Qinling Mountains!”

“Wow! Host, you traveled over a thousand kilometers from the south of the Yangtze River to the Qinling Mountains? What’s your intention?”

“It took two extra days to start the livestream. Did you spend all that time on the road? (crying with laughter emoji)”

“Have you secured the foraging permit? The local authorities in the Qinling area wouldn’t be foolish enough to invite a wolf into their home, would they?”

“Hahaha, of course not. They didn’t issue permits for the outskirts, but they said I could get one for the deep mountains,” Luo Feng replied, feeling somewhat speechless at the attention he received due to his fame. “It’s not as interesting, though. Those who know, know that the outskirts are where most tombs are located. What’s the point of going to the deep mountains?”

“Did the host get a permit?”

Luo Feng replied, “Yes, I did. It cost about 50 million yuan!”

“Damn, that’s expensive!”

“Of course, didn’t you see how big the Qinling Mountains are? Do you think it’s a small hill in front of your house?”

“It’s useless unless you can find a tomb!”

The viewers were all shocked when they heard the 50 million yuan figure. This host was indeed willing to spend money on permits.

After about an hour, they finally arrived at Taiyi Mountain, also known as Zhongnan Mountain. Originally, Luo Feng wanted to obtain a permit for this area, which would cost 10 million yuan. However, he found out that it would only cost 50 million yuan for the entire Qinling Mountains, so why not save some money and bag the entire package?

As the vehicles reached the foot of the mountain, a group of wealthy second-generation youths got out, carrying small bags, shovels, and water bottles, looking energetic and ready for adventure.

“Brother Luo, are we going into the mountains today?” Zhou Weiguo was excited. It was his first time accompanying Luo Feng on a treasure hunt in the mountains. Previously, he had only watched the livestreams, which had left him yearning for more.

“Wait a moment…” Luo Feng said with a smile, without explaining why they should wait.

However, about two minutes later, a jeep arrived. A girl in tight-fitting mountaineering gear stepped out of the vehicle, her figure and curves leaving the wealthy second-generation youths stunned. To be honest, only Qin Rubing would have such long legs. At first, they all thought it was Qin Rubing, but her temperament seemed slightly different.

“Sorry for keeping you all waiting!” Su Meiji had promised that she would join the second treasure hunt, and she would not go back on her word. However, she was speechless at the fact that they had come so far. Nevertheless, upon learning of the next dig site, she immediately chartered a private plane over and found an off-road vehicle to join them..
