Since Qin Yi had returned, he stayed at his old home for a night before heading back to Haicheng the next day.
Before leaving, Qin Yi repeatedly urged Zheng Shufen to tell him if she encountered such a situation again!
Zheng Shufen naturally agreed repeatedly.
Qin Yi returned to Haicheng and upon entering the door, he saw Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman lying on the sofa watching television. Qin Yi was utterly speechless.
Had these two been lying there from yesterday until today?
"Qin Yi, you're finally back! Hurry up and cook, we're hungry!"
Lan Baizhi, seeing Qin Yi return, immediately said, "After you left yesterday, we haven't eaten at all until now!"
Qin Yi's head was full of black lines upon hearing this. The two of them had really been lying there watching TV for a full day and night.
They were quite something!
Fortunately, they were not ordinary people, otherwise Qin Yi would really worry about them dropping dead at his place!
Considering they were his senior sisters, Qin Yi went to cook another meal for them.
This time, while they were eating, Qin Yi asked, "Senior sisters, what are your plans next? You're not going to stay at my place forever, are you?"
"You guessed right, we plan to stay here for a while!" Lan Baizhi replied.
"Ah..."
Qin Yi's expression instantly changed.
If the two of them stayed at his place forever, would he ever have any peace?
Ren Shuman spoke up, "Qin Yi, don't listen to her nonsense. We're leaving this afternoon!"
Hearing this, Qin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where are you two going this afternoon?"
Ren Shuman gave a mysterious smile and beckoned Qin Yi to lean closer.
Seeing this, Qin Yi extended his head a little, listening with curiosity.
Ren Shuman, however, playfully spit out four words: "I'm not telling you!"
"Pfft..."
Qin Yi almost stumbled and fell onto the table!
If it weren't for the fact that they were his senior sisters, and he didn't know their exact strength, Qin Yi would have wanted to 'discipline' them!
Later, Ren Shuman still didn't tell Qin Yi where they were going. After eating, they stayed for a while longer and then left.
Qin Yi walked out with the two of them, but he didn't go with them. Instead, he went to find Xiong Zhentian.
Since the Order Hall couldn't find any news of Qin Zhanlong, he would try a different approach. If the legitimate way didn't work, he would try the unofficial one, asking Xiong Zhentian for help in his investigation.
Qin Yi found Xiong Zhentian and explained the situation. Xiong Zhentian immediately guaranteed to investigate with all his might.
"Divine King, I have already given the order. As soon as there is any news about Qin Zhanlong, I will inform you!" Xiong Zhentian said.
"Alright, call me when you have news!"
Qin Yi responded and stood up, preparing to leave.
Xiong Zhentian personally escorted Qin Yi out.
Before they could set off, one of Xiong Zhentian's subordinates rushed in.
"Brother Xiong, good news, great news..."
The subordinate shouted with great joy before he even reached Xiong Zhentian.
However, when he entered and saw Qin Yi next to Xiong Zhentian, he fell silent and stopped speaking.
Xiong Zhentian immediately said, "Just say it directly, don't be coy. Mr. Qin is one of us!"
The subordinate then swallowed and continued, "Brother Xiong, just now, my second uncle called and said he found a thousand-year-old treasure Ganoderma lucidum. He wants to sell it!"
"Brother Xiong, if you buy this Ganoderma lucidum and resell it, you'll definitely make a lot of money!"
"A thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?"
Upon hearing this, both Qin Yi and Xiong Zhentian were shocked.
Qin Yi was surprised because Ganoderma lucidum itself is a precious medicinal herb. Nowadays, due to the thin spiritual energy and the excessive number of people collecting Ganoderma lucidum, most of them are discovered and picked before they can grow for long.
Therefore, Ganoderma lucidum of a certain age is very rare now. A thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, to put it mildly, exists only in legends.
If there truly were a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, its value would definitely be in the hundreds of millions!
Xiong Zhentian then came back to his senses, took a step closer to the subordinate, and asked somewhat excitedly, "Are you sure, it's really a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum???"
If it were indeed a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, he would be able to make a fortune by acquiring it and reselling it!
The subordinate nodded heavily, confirming, "Sure, my second uncle wouldn't lie to me! And my second uncle is a barefoot doctor, he's very familiar with medicinal herbs and wouldn't mistake it!"
"We'll buy this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!"
Before Xiong Zhentian could say anything more, Qin Yi spoke first.
A thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, he had a great use for it, whether it was for making medicine or for cultivation.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Zhentian didn't hesitate at all and asked the subordinate, "Where is your second uncle now?"
"My second uncle is in our hometown, Heyuan Town!"
"We're going to Heyuan Town now!" Xiong Zhentian said.
"Okay, Brother Xiong, I'll go get the car!"
The subordinate responded and quickly went out to prepare.
He was the one who told Xiong Zhentian about this news, and it was his second uncle who found the Ganoderma lucidum. When Xiong Zhentian acquired it and made a profit, he wouldn't be left out!
After the subordinate left, Qin Yi said to Xiong Zhentian, "If it is indeed a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, we must buy it. It will be of great use to me!"
"I understand, Divine King, I will definitely buy it back!" Xiong Zhentian assured.
"Well, whatever the cost, I'll transfer the money to you then!" Qin Yi said.
"No, no, it is my honor to serve the Divine King..."
Xiong Zhentian waved his hands repeatedly. How could he dare to ask Qin Yi for money?
Qin Yi smiled and said nothing more.
He just secretly decided in his heart that he would directly transfer the money to Xiong Zhentian based on how much he spent. After all, this Ganoderma lucidum was being bought for him!
Soon, the subordinate had the car ready. Qin Yi and Xiong Zhentian got in and set off.
With Qin Yi present, Xiong Zhentian didn't bring his four personal bodyguards, as it was unnecessary!
In the car, through conversation, Qin Yi learned that Xiong Zhentian's subordinate's name was Huang Qiao.
His hometown, Heyuan Town, was more than two hundred kilometers away from Haicheng. They drove, setting off at 4 PM and arriving a little past 7 PM.
By the time they arrived in Heyuan Town, it was already completely dark.
Huang Qiao drove the car directly to a building near Heyuan Town and stopped.
Huang Qiao said, "Brother Xiong, Mr. Qin, we're here. This is my second uncle's house!"
The three of them got out of the car.
As soon as Qin Yi stepped out, he took a deep breath and carefully felt the surroundings.
A thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was a super spiritual herb that had grown for a thousand years, absorbing heaven and earth essence countless times. Therefore, if there was a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum here, it would emit spiritual energy, which Qin Yi could sense from the air!
However, Qin Yi took a deep breath, then another... and expanded his senses, only to find that the air in this place was ordinary. He couldn't sense any abnormality at all!
