In response to the question, Luo Feng walked forward, exchanged greetings, and replied, “This time, my hiatus will extend probably until after the New Year! We have all been away from home for too long, haven’t we?”

“After the New Year? Where do you plan on going this time?” Wang YouSheng asked, hinting, “Perhaps you are intrigued by the idea of visiting Cao Cao’s tomb?”

“Hello, Mr. Luo! I was the female singer at the previous auction. My name is Ye Mengyao, which is actually my real name. I generally avoid using my stage name in day-to-day life!”

Suddenly, within the museum,

A young woman, likely in her late twenties, materialized.

She extended her delicate hand.

“Oh, hello!”

Luo Feng remembered. Wasn’t she the one who planned to buy the Bianzhong to donate to her alma mater? Indeed, a female singer?

“Little Luo, allow me to introduce Little Ye, a rising star in the entertainment industry!” Wang Yousheng was eager to acquaint her with Luo Feng.

“I remember now. Please, continue without me.” Luo Feng found the woman somewhat lacking in charm.

Not that she wasn’t attractive.

But he had two pending engagements that demanded his attention.

Qin Rubing and Su Meiji were both incredibly enticing.

There was no need to complicate things.

“Mr. Luo, would you consider selling the white banner?” Ye Mengyao raised the question.

“Absolutely not!”

“I have a friend who is a director, he’s expressed interest in Nikan’s skull and the white banner!”

“I already said, it’s not for sale!”

Ye Mengyao seemed disappointed, but she refrained from revisiting the subject.

“Miss Ye, feel free to explore the museum. I need to attend to something with my two friends! ” With those words, Luo Feng, followed by Li Shishi and An Peng, left the area.

After exploring the museum with Li Shishi,

Luo Feng decided to rest in the lounge.

Pondering their next destination.

Yet, Wang Yousheng’s earlier suggestion was appealing. “Alright, I’ve decided, you’re my next target, Boss Cao!” “Don’t you have 18 suspicious tombs?”

“This time, I intend to excavate them all until I’m content!” “No, there are 17; one has already been discovered!”

During Luo Feng’s hiatus, many came to pay their respects.

The curator of the Huaxia Library personally came with the intention of transcribing the Yongle Encyclopedia.

After all, it would be a shame if it were damaged. Having a copy is far safer.

However, only Luo Feng knew the content of the transcription.

The guests present that day were indeed high-profile, including Li Fuming from the previous museum visit and the president of the Huaxia Calligraphy Association.

“Mr. Luo, our Calligraphy Association wishes to display an artifact from your collection during the Spring Festival Gala!”

“Oh? Which artifact would that be?” Upon hearing Li Fuming’s request, Luo Feng responded with a question of his own.

“It’s Wang Xizhi’s Preface to the Orchid Pavilion!” “Oh? The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion?”

Luo Feng did not respond immediately.

It appeared that Li Fuming had specifically traveled to Jiangnan for this purpose.

Was this his objective?

Luo Feng pondered. The Spring Festival Gala would indeed attract a large audience, but he seemed to no longer need such exposure. If he were to loan his treasure, what would he do if something went awry? Could the other party afford the compensation?

“Mr. Luo, please rest assured,” a man introduced himself as Liang Zhongshu, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala. “We will insure the artifact, and the insurance coverage will undoubtedly meet your expectations. We have alerted the authorities in Beijing. The artifact will be transported securely throughout its journey. Even on stage, it will be safeguarded by a specially designed glass casing and professional security. There will be no mishaps.”

To Luo Feng’s surprise, the unassuming man wearing glasses, accompanying Li Fuming, was the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.

This was an unexpected development for Luo Feng.

“Since it’s insured, you can borrow it. Do you only need it on the day of the Spring Festival Gala?” Luo Feng queried.

“Yes, just for the one day!”

“Very well. Forget about the rental fee, just ensure the safety of my Preface to the Orchid Pavilion.” As for the rent, did Luo Feng lack funds? Since they could ensure the artifact’s security and also had insurance, he was willing to lend it for free.

He believed the people of China were also eagerly awaiting this artifact.

Their desires must not be ignored.

The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion was not the only artifact they desired.

The second was a book detailing the Spring Festival celebrations during the pre-Qin era.

During that period, October marked the end of the year.

November, on the contrary, heralded the new year.

Nonetheless,

The essence of the Spring Festival had entirely transformed.

They wanted to borrow this version of the Yongle Encyclopedia to demonstrate how the ancients celebrated the Spring Festival. They even planned to hire actors to reenact a Spring Festival celebration from the pre-Qin era!

The significance was profound!

Half a month later, on New Year’s Eve, the two items that Luo Feng had loaned were successfully exhibited.

Especially when the authentic Preface to the Orchid Pavilion was displayed, it astonishingly outshone a group of youthful celebrities. It garnered the highest viewership during its ten-minute segment at the Spring Festival Gala. Clearly, the name Wang Xizhi still carried significant weight.

As time elapsed,

A month had passed since the beginning of February.

This time, the respite extended for over a month.

Luo Feng felt as if his bones were turning to jelly.

Luo Feng was aware that if he did not start streaming soon, his followers would become restless.

“Good morning, everyone!”

“The treasure hunting team now consists of 122 members. We have grown quite a bit!”

After all, post-Spring Festival, many affluent second-generation individuals had idle time.

They wished to join Luo Feng on his treasure hunt.

This was quite understandable.

If not for the requirement to purchase three cars worth five million each or pay a five-million deposit,

Perhaps Luo Feng could have rallied 1000 people.

“Holy cow! You finally showed up, host!”

“I was getting concerned. I almost forgot about your channel!”

“Host, hurry, where are we going for our tomb excavation?”

Luo Feng replied, “I will take the wealthy heirs to dine at a hotel shortly, then we’ll embark from Jiangnan in a few days. The location of our next stop will be revealed in due course.” Even though he had already decided on the location, Luo Feng kept it to himself, prompting his audience to speculate, thus maintaining intrigue and sparking conversation.

As for the outdoor equipment required for this treasure hunting expedition, Luo Feng did not need to worry. Su Meiji had already taken Qin Rubing and Li Shishi shopping and procured everything necessary.

Three days later, Luo Feng and his team arrived in Huaizhou. Traveling northward, they witnessed endless mountain ranges. Their destination this time was Yuntai Mountain, part of the Taihang Mountain Range. Obtaining the required permits was hassle-free, with all forty million it required easily settled.

“Where are we?”

“Host, whose tomb are you planning to excavate?” “Are you in search of Cao Cao’s tomb?”

“Damn! Is Old Luo looking for Cao Cao’s tomb?”

“Quick, where is Old Luo? I need to rush over to wherever he is!”

‘Give up, if you want to treasure hunt, you have to obtain a permit first!”

Ignoring these comments, Luo Feng followed the map and bamboo slips to the closest location of Cao Cao’s tomb.

Entering the mountains from the east, traversing seven li of bamboo forest, and arriving at a body of water. Then, proceeding three li south, a tomb emerged. This was said to be Cao Cao’s tomb.

All this information, left by Zhuge Liang, Luo Feng had already committed to memory. However, he was concerned that the forest might have significantly altered over the years, and wondered if the recorded information would still hold relevance.

“Initiate a level three scan!”

Once the scan commenced, several scattered treasure markers indeed appeared. Luo Feng dug as he advanced, uncovering various medicinal herbs and energy drinks.

At nine in the morning, Luo Feng reached the approximate location marked on the map: a bamboo forest. After consulting with numerous elderly locals, they confirmed that this bamboo forest had been around for many years, even during their grandfathers’ youth.

Regardless, Luo Feng persisted, using this bamboo forest as a landmark. After covering seven li, he found a large river, matching up with the record left by Zhuge Liang.

Proceeding southward, unsurprisingly, he encountered Cao Cao’s tomb. If they were fortunate, perhaps the first tomb would be the genuine one? It wasn’t entirely improbable!

“What great feng shui! Look, everyone, this is exceptional fengshui!”

After traversing three li, Luo Feng looked at the mountainous terrain ahead and could not help but exclaim.

“These two mountains resemble a crouching tiger. The flowing water seems like a concealed dragon. In feng shui, this is referred to as ‘mountain arrives, water stops, it’s the heavenly gate’!” “And there are no signs of alterations!”

“This is natural fengshui!”

In Luo Feng’s point of view, although this fengshui would not be suitable for an emperor’s burial, it was more than adequate for a prime minister or a feudal lord. If such prime fengshui were merely for a suspected tomb of Cao Cao, it would be lavish and wasteful. “Host, speak in plain terms, will you?”

“Is there an ancient tomb here?”

“Since the fengshui is favorable, there must be a tomb!”

Upon hearing Luo Feng’s words, the audience grew excited. Now, it was almost certain that Luo Feng was indeed in pursuit of Cao Cao’s tomb. “Hehe, if there is an ancient tomb here, it should be right where I’m pointing!” After stating this, Luo Feng gestured and then led the team forward..
