Luo Feng had determined the direction, so the next thing to do was to continue digging downward.
The entrance to the tomb passage was made of simple rammed earth, making the excavation quite effortless.
This was the first time he had encountered gold buried outside an ancient tomb.
However, he was too lazy to ponder it any further. Everything would become clear once he entered.
With a “thud,” after digging out the last bit of rammed earth, the entrance to the tomb passage was revealed.
Luo Feng expertly put on an oxygen tank and a gas mask, glancing at the passage, which was quite wide, about five meters, and extended over fifty meters in length.
Regrettably, there were no valuable murals on the walls of the passage. He walked forward until he reached a corridor where a stone tablet was located. It was engraved with the words, “Tomb of Shen Xiu.”
Luo Feng’s eyelids twitched slightly. Indeed, this was Shen Wansan’s tomb.
Was the so-called Zhang Sanfeng treasure, in fact, Shen Wansan’s tomb?

Suppressing his internal trepidation and confusion, Luo Feng proceeded into the burial chamber.
The flashlight’s beam quickly swept across the entire chamber. In the vast main burial room, there was a wooden coffin, along with dozens of accompanying burial boxes.
In front of the coffin stood a pillar, upon which rested a porcelain vessel the size of a watermelon.
The vessel sparkled with a golden shine, flashing dazzlingly under the light.
Luo Feng stared, slightly stunned. Could this be the legendary treasure basin? After all, anyone who had heard of Shen Wansan knew that he possessed such an object.
“Damn, who is Shen Xiu? I’ve never heard of him!”
“Could it be a scholar?”
“Scholar or not, I don’t know. It should be some talent!”
“Shen Xiu? Why not Liu Xiu?”
“Haha, what are you thinking? How could Liu Xiu’s tomb be here? You’re more like illiterate!”
“Emperor Guangwu of Han choosing such a place would be a real farce!”
Seeing that many were unfamiliar with the name, Luo Feng explained, “You all know this person. His name is Shen Wansan. The recently excavated tomb, the fake one, was his!”
“Damn, Shen Xiu is Shen Wansan?”
“So this is Shen Wansan’s real tomb?”
“It might not be real yet, since the body hasn’t been found. What’s the hurry?”
“The tombstone is there; this must be real! Last time there wasn’t even a tombstone, so it had to be fake!”
“If it’s really Shen Wansan, wasn’t he said to have a treasure basin?”
The mere mention of the treasure basin created a frenzy of excitement. Everyone’s eyes turned red at the thought, as the basin was known as a magical item that could duplicate anything placed inside.
Of course, nobody truly believed in such magical properties, but that didn’t stop them from being astounded and wanting to see what the real treasure basin looked like.
Even if it didn’t possess such magical abilities, Shen Wansan’s treasure basin must still be a valuable artifact.
Luo Feng was more inclined to believe that the myths about Shen Wansan were either concocted by the public after he made his fortune or were exaggerated over time, making them seem miraculous.
Perhaps Shen Wansan had initially obtained his wealth through some disgraceful means, and he had fabricated this legend to launder his ill-gotten gains.
“You see, there’s a basin the size of a watermelon over there. Could that be the legendary treasure basin?”

“Host, stop standing there, go and see if it’s the legendary treasure basin!”
“If it’s the treasure basin, you’ll be rich, host! Put the Imperial Jade Seal in it, and the next day you’ll have two!”
“Damn, if that’s the case, won’t the Imperial Jade Seal become as common as cabbage?”
Luo Feng, too, wanted to witness what this object truly was. He approached it cautiously.
Upon getting closer, the true appearance of the item on the jade pillar was revealed.
It was roughly the size of a watermelon, but it looked more like a large bowl rather than a basin.
It appeared to be made of gold.
Whether it was pure gold or merely gilded was unknown at the moment.
However, as long as its artistic value was sufficient, whether it was pure gold or gilded would make little difference.
If its artistic value was high enough, even if it were made of mud, it could be worth tens of millions, even over a hundred million.
Without artistic value, making one of pure gold at home would be meaningless.
[ Ding! Treasure Basin, Ming Dynasty, valued at 1.1 billion! ]
Damn, it was really it.
Upon hearing the system’s introduction, Luo Feng’s heart began to pound rapidly. Even though he knew this object wasn’t as magical as the legends suggested, its provenance must still be significant..
