Chapter 653: Grave Robbing Notes
Translator: 549690339
Jiang Beiran now knew why Shen Tianhua had been so secretive when he had spoken earlier, refusing to tell him how he had been robbed.
It turned out that he had been hiding the grave robber profession as a “hidden profession”.
However, tomb raiding had always been a lucrative business since ancient times, so it was normal to think about making a fortune in silence.
After recovering from his shock, Jiang Beiran’s thoughts began to come alive. Of course, he loved this money-making business, and he was also very interested in the history of this continent.
“Seeking Dragons and Touching Gold…Haha.” Jiang Beiran chuckled.” I heard a friend mention this line of work before. I didn’t expect Master Shen to be an expert in this line of work.”
“I don’t dare to be an expert. If he really was an expert, he wouldn’t have fallen to such a state. “Shen Tianhua said in a self-deprecating manner.
“When there are benefits, there will be struggles. Master Shen has entered this business that brings great benefits, and he can still do everything he can to protect his feet.”
The moment Shen Tianhua heard, he could not help falling into deep thought.
Because he knew that Grandmaster’s words were praising him on the surface, but the actual meaning was that in such a risky business, a rogue cultivator with no background dared to compete with them, really overestimating his own strength.
But how could Shen Tianhua not know this?
Many years ago, the reason why he had left the sect was because of the unfair distribution of the spoils.
The original agreement was that he would rob the tomb, and the Rising Sun Sect would protect him. The treasures they obtained would be split equally.
However, as the treasures he stole became better and better, the Rising Sun Sect became more and more unruly. They always suppressed him when it came to ” dividing the loot.” In the end, Shen Tianhua had no choice but to leave the Rising Sun Sect and become a lone wolf among grave robbers.
Now that he heard Jiang Beiran’s words, Shen Tianhua suddenly felt bitter in his heart.
If they could rely on their big brother, who would be willing to be a lone wolf?
” Tsk, looks like he’s been hurt quite deeply.’
Jiang Beiran’s original intention was to remind Shen Tianhua that everyone who could help him in this line of work was really useless.
Unless you were the only grave robber left in the world, with such a huge profit, once the two groups of people met, it would definitely be a situation where they would fight to the death.
But now, it seemed that Shen Tianhua was truly afraid of the Rising Sun Sect. He would rather risk his life to gamble his luck than find an organization that might set him up.
Since Shen Tianhua did not take the initiative to speak, Jiang Beiran had to take the initiative.
“Thief general… Tell me in detail about the method of searching for dragons and touching gold, and I’ll help you get back the ancient book.”
When Shen Tianhua laid his cards on the table, he had already expected that Master Jiang would ask him for the method of searching for dragons and plundering gold. Therefore, when he heard Master Jiang propose a deal, he immediately agreed, “Deal.”
With that, he took out a booklet from his Cosmos Ring and handed it to Jiang Beiran.””Master, this book records a series of secret methods to find ancient books. However, in our line of work, there is a saying that it takes three years to find a dragon and ten years to hit an acupoint.”
Taking the Guannan Xu Yu from Shen Tianhua, Jiang Beiran put it aside and said,””lt’s easy to find a dragon and touch gold, but I’m afraid Master Shen can’t take care of everything alone, right?”
Shen Tianhua laughed out loud after hearing this.” Master is indeed an insider. Men Qing ‘er, I do have a few capable people in various fields under me who are responsible for finding tombs and opening acupoints.”
As he listened to the more familiar terms, Jiang Beiran felt that he was only missing the phrase ” take my Luoyang shovel “.
Of course, the fantasy world had its own cards. The ancient tombs on the Black Dragon Continent were much more dangerous than the dumplings and the water monkeys.
There were all sorts of ancient defensive formations, puppets with intelligence, and all sorts of earth-grade mechanisms that were hard to defend against.
When he heard Shen Tianhua mention that Mystique Venerable Rank fighters had died in some ancient tombs, Jiang Beiran asked curiously,””This ancient tomb is so dangerous. How can you escape unscathed?”
Shen Tianhua, who had already started talking, no longer hid anything and directly replied, “Usually, the tombs we find won’t have such a huge formation. After finding the place and breaking the formation, the mechanisms inside can barely deal with it.”
“Then what kind of tomb do you think that even Mystique Venerable Rank powerhouses might die in?”
two sucn tomDS nave Deen cuscoverea m tne world. une IS In tne ceng
Country, known as the Dragon Tomb, and the other is in the Wei Country, Imown as the Cangming Tomb. Up until now, only the periphery of these two ancient tombs have been explored. Very few people dare to explore the inner city.”
‘So fierce…
Although very few people knew about the grave robbing industry, the big shots of the various sects definitely knew about it. Therefore, the phrase ‘very few people dare to explore the inner city’ clearly included those Profound Sages.
Even Profound Sages didn’t dare to enter the inner city, which meant that the mystery and danger of these two ancient tombs were exactly the same as those of Golden Cauldron Island and Profound Secrets Island.
‘Looks like the exploration level of the Black Dragon Continent is really low…’
Ever since he had come to the Six Nations, he had read and seen many things.
Jiang Beiran felt that there were still many places on the map of the Mystery Dragon Continent that were ” completely black “, the kind that had never been explored.
It was also a headache.
After all, there was nothing more annoying than the unknown.
Picking up the wine bowl and taking a sip, Jiang Beiran pondered for a moment before asking,””So, what kind of ancient tomb did you steal your ancient books from? Of course, you only need to tell me what kind of ancient tomb it is. You don’t need to tell me where it is..”
