In the early morning, Fatty lit a string of firecrackers in front of Zhang Tian's door.
He said it was to celebrate Zhang Tian's resurrection.
Zhang Tian, of course, gave him a slap, his favorite kind.
“Boss, you’re out of seclusion? How is it! Any progress?”
Hu Bayi asked as soon as he saw Zhang Tian approaching.
“Nothing much, at most, my strength has increased a bit,”
Zhang Tian said after thinking for a moment.
If Qimen Dunjia could be broken through in just ten days, it wouldn't be so mysterious.
However, within these ten days, Lin Tian's sprint towards the Grandmaster realm, though unsuccessful, laid a solid foundation.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Tian looked in good spirits.
Zhang Qilin looked at Zhang Tian.
“Your strength has increased a lot.”
His voice was low, and Zhang Tian smiled and nodded.
“By the way, I haven't been home these past few days, did Mom ask about me?”
Zhang Tian thought of his kind mother.
“Yes, they said they don’t have a son like you.”
Zhang Qilin was not good at lying and spoke directly.
Zhang Tian: “?????”
Fatty: “Haha, Old Hu, the boss has become an orphan!”
Hu Bayi: “Damn it.”
He slapped his forehead. Sure enough, just as Fatty finished speaking, Zhang Tian kicked, sending Fatty flying.
This guy had trained his body, so this kick didn’t harm him.
“Boss, Fatty will be back!”
Fatty shouted in mid-air, and his whole body fell into a small river outside the courtyard.
Xie Yuchen watched from the side, somewhat confused by Zhang Tian's conversation.
How did young Master Zhang become an orphan mid-conversation?
And what was young Master Zhang's strength exactly? Xie Yuchen still didn’t know.
Zhang Tian looked serious and then said,
“We’ll talk about this later. Really, after a few days away, my parents can’t even tell who is who.”
As Zhang Tian spoke, his gaze fell on Hu Bayi.
“Old Hu, you mentioned something about the Tomb of Jingjue, what’s going on?”
Zhang Tian couldn't help but ask. If he guessed correctly, Shirley Yang and the others were about to head to the Kunlun Mountains.
“It is said that Shirley Yang received news of the Tomb of Jingjue deep within the Kunlun Mountains, so the expedition team plans to go and have a look.”
Hu Bayi said, looking at Zhang Tian.
Clearly asking if Zhang Tian would go.
Zhang Tian thought for a moment.
“Isn’t it the expert group anymore? Why has it become an expedition team?”
Zhang Tian asked.
“The expert group has been disbanded. Too many people died in that place, and no one wants to go anymore.”
Hu Bayi’s voice was low.
Xie Yuchen on the side was already somewhat stunned. What were they talking about?
What Tomb of Jingjue, what expert group, why couldn’t he understand any of it?
However, the observant Xie Yuchen noticed a clue.
“They’re not going tomb raiding, are they? I didn’t expect young Master Zhang to have been in the tomb raiding business before.”
Xie Yuchen suddenly realized.
No wonder Lin Tian could identify those treasures at the market before; it turned out he was a tomb raider.
Knowing this, Xie Yuchen was overjoyed. This would increase his chances of entering the Medicine King's Tomb.
Hu Bayi still hadn’t finished speaking, mainly because Xie Yuchen was present, making him feel hesitant.
“When are those people leaving?”
Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
They were planning to go to Bei Dong soon, so how could they go to the Kunlun Mountains now?
Moreover, the Kunlun Mountains were undoubtedly a tomb of extremely high difficulty.
Kunlun Mountain, in China, is a sacred mountain. There are even rumors that shepherds grazing sheep on Kunlun Mountain were struck by heavenly lightning and turned into ashes.
Some said it was time travel, others said they had angered the gods.
Regardless of the rumors, Kunlun Mountain was undoubtedly very dangerous.
“It seems to be after the Spring Festival. It’s currently November in winter, and there are still two months until the Spring Festival.”
“Boss, we can go to Bei Dong first and then come back to celebrate the Spring Festival.”
Hu Bayi said, his eyes flashing with excitement.
This was his first Spring Festival as a rich man, and it would undoubtedly be more comfortable than before.
Before, in the army, there was almost no such thing as Spring Festival. Now, Hu Bayi was actually looking forward to it.
“Holy cow, Fatty wants to celebrate Spring Festival too!”
Suddenly, Fatty, dripping wet, kicked open the door, beaming with joy.
Zhang Tian rubbed his forehead, looking at this comical character and wondering how he had recruited this guy into his team.
“How about this, after we return from Bei Dong, let’s all come to my place to celebrate the festival.”
Everyone was pleased with Zhang Tian’s suggestion.
Xie Yuchen looked at the lively atmosphere and felt a sense of envy.
His Xie family celebrated festivals too, but propriety took precedence.
It could be said that their festival celebrations were very restrained. How could it be as casual and joyful as Zhang Tian's?
Fatty tilted his head, picturing the princess celebrating Spring Festival and changing into court attire, his mouth watering.
“By the way, Boss, the Bei Dong region was often plagued by war in the past, and it was the first direction of the Xiongnu's invasion. If we go this time, we might be able to find the ruins of the ancient battlefield.”
Suddenly, Hu Bayi spoke.
Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
“You mean…”
“The formation of a Ghost Pill requires a place where ten thousand people died. If we go this time, we might encounter a Ghost Pill.”
Hu Bayi said, and Fatty blinked furiously, his face filled with excitement.
He then covered his own kidney again.
Well, he was about to have his kidney harvested.
“We’ll see when the time comes. If there’s a chance, we’ll look for it. If not, then forget it.”
Zhang Tian said, his gaze shifting to Xie Yuchen.
“Young Master Xie, we plan to go to Bei Dong. Would you be interested?”
Zhang Tian asked.
“Naturally.”
Xie Yuchen replied indifferently. He was not a man of many words, so he spoke little, but he had his own thoughts.
Not everyone in Zhang Tian’s team was like Fatty, capable of talking all day.
“Alright, since no one has any objections, we’ll set off the day after tomorrow. Old Hu, you go buy some warm clothes. Bei Dong is cold, take Young Master Xie with you.”
“Second brother, come with me.”
Zhang Tian said. He planned to take Zhang Qilin to perform a divination.
First, he would see if there were any problems with his trip to Bei Dong.
If there were problems, Zhang Tian would bring more life-saving items.
If the problem was not significant, Zhang Tian would not bring Little Turtle.
After all, carrying Little Turtle was troublesome; it was bulky and would make noise.
It would be fine to leave it at home to guard the house.
Hu Bayi nodded, then took Fatty and Xie Yuchen to buy equipment.
Zhang Tian, on the other hand, took Zhang Qilin into the house.
Little Fox, however, kept following behind Zhang Tian and the two of them. Zhang Tian didn't mind.
Inside the house, Zhang Tian took out his compass.
“I’ll divine if there’s any danger on our trip to Bei Dong. Second brother, if my true qi is insufficient, remember to assist me.”
Zhang Tian said, and Zhang Qilin nodded and sat down directly in front of Zhang Tian.
The two faced each other, with Zhang Qilin staring at Zhang Tian’s face.
This made Zhang Tian feel a little uncomfortable.
“Hey, I’m still here. Can you pay attention to your image?”
“Also, Daddy, are we really going to Bei Dong?”
Little Fox seemed a little scared.
Zhang Tian gave it a look.
“If you don’t want to go, stay at home with Little Turtle.”
“Forget it, staying with that little turtle grandson, I’d rather be with Big Brother.”
Upon hearing this, Little Fox immediately lay down at Zhang Qilin’s feet.
Little Turtle: “?????”
At this moment, Zhang Tian circulated his true qi, and the Tian Gong compass began to spin.
Gradually, Zhang Tian’s expression became more and more serious.
