At noon, He Yuan had lunch with them here, though it wasn't as sumptuous as his usual feasts, he was not treated poorly.

After the meal, He Yuan hurriedly left, too curious about the treasures here, impatient to return and find people to dig.

Liu Zixuan did not stop him and was intent on letting the He Family do the labor.

After the afternoon nap, Liu Zixuan dialed Huang Youcai and Zhu Yiqun, Yang Yizhi's numbers, informing them to come to the village.

About an hour later, the group sat in a private room on the second floor of the clinic.

Zhu Yiqun and Yang Yizhi asked, puzzled, "Brother Xuan, what happened?"

"Good news, great news."

Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously, "I'm planning to give you some benefits, want them?"

"Benefits? What do you mean?" Zhu Yiqun scratched his head, puzzled.

"You'll know by then, but for now, I need your manpower first." Liu Zixuan raised his head to ask Huang Youcai, "How many people does Liu Mazi have over there?"

"A few, recently there's been no work, many were dismissed. If needed, there can be more!" Huang Youcai replied.

"Alright, have him call in the people."

Liu Zixuan looked again at Zhu Yiqun and Yang Yizhi, "How many can come help with the work on your end?"

"This...hard to say, depends on what it's for. If it's for a fight, I could call a lot of people." Zhu Yiqun said proudly.

After all, they are the big shots in the town now!

"Select a few brothers capable of heavy labor, preferably twenty to thirty." Liu Zixuan said.

"What kind of labor?"

"Digging holes!" Liu Zixuan chuckled, "Due to the current conflict between Lingxiu Village and the He Family, neither side can dispatch machinery to help, only manual labor, but after observing, there are only a dozen people from the He Family digging, their progress is slow."

"Digging what?" This left Zhu Yiqun and Yang Yizhi quite puzzled.

Liu Zixuan told them about the situation there, and when they heard there were treasures, their eyes lit up.

They all shouted eagerly to lend their efforts.

Seeing their enthusiasm, Liu Zixuan said, "The He Family's people are not daring to come openly yet, they choose to dig at night while we can during the day. To avoid detection, we'll choose a spot further away from them!"

"Alright, I'll start calling people in soon, and we'll start tomorrow." Huang Youcai thought for a moment and asked, "Then we let the He Family keep digging too?"

"Of course not." Liu Zixuan grinned, "We're not friends. Why would I leave them any comfort? For now, let them keep digging, and when they're nearly successful, I'll send them a big gift!"

"Hahaha. Offending Brother Xuan, nobody finds it easy!" Zhu Yiqun secretly rejoiced, thankful they chose to side with Liu Zixuan back then, otherwise…how would they have today's achievements?

Actually, if Liu Zixuan wanted, he could completely replace Zhu Yiqun and Yang Yizhi's current position, he just disdains being limited to a small town.

After explaining the matters to them, they went off busying themselves.

Liu Zixuan took a couple of puffs of his cigarette, smiling faintly, "The He Family? Want to snatch treasures from me, maybe in the next life!"

...

Time flies, and three days pass in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Lingxiu Village has been exceptionally lively.

During the day, Huang Youcai and others were leading laborer brothers and Zhu Yiqun's brothers digging enthusiastically on the hillside.

And at night, the He Family's people also went up to dig.

As for the village, it's been quite peaceful these few days, the factory also moved onto the right track, and produced two batches of underwear, which were simultaneously delivered to the city, entrusted to Jiang Yiyi and Zhu Yi for sale.

Apart from the underwear, Hu Lijing and two other villagers also went along, their purpose being to do promotion, with beauties like those from Lingxiu Village, it's far better than hiring models from outside.

In these three days, Zhu Yi and Wang Kun's official funds have all been in place, Liu Zixuan has already arranged with Huang Youcai to find some people to start building houses.

Because they are still in a duel with the He Family, nothing too conspicuous is being done. Besides, if everything were torn down and rebuilt at once, villagers would have nowhere to live, thus Liu Zixuan instructed Huang Youcai to start with the uninhabited houses.

In short, everything in Lingxiu Village is moving towards a better development.

On the fourth day, at dawn, Liu Zixuan had just finished washing up in the morning when there was a knock at the clinic door.

Liu Zixuan, with a cigarette in his mouth, asked, "Who is it?"

"Brother-in-law, it's me, hurry, open the door!" He Yuan's anxious voice came from outside.

Liu Zixuan scratched his head, wondering why he came so early.

He opened the clinic door from inside, and the sight before him surprised Liu Zixuan.

There were seven or eight people behind He Yuan, each covered in dirt, and with dirty faces too. If not for their disheveled appearance, Liu Zixuan would've thought He Yuan had brought people to cause trouble!

"This...what happened?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Ah." He Yuan sighed, "Weren't we digging treasures at night? We were digging when suddenly we hit stone slabs, and I thought we must have reached the edge of the burial chamber, so I had people speed up. But because it was dark we couldn't see, and when prying open the slabs, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared."

Saying this, He Yuan pointed to the people around him, "These few turned into this state."

Liu Zixuan frowned, let them all in, and then went to one of them, checked his eyelids, and took his pulse.

"Is it poison?" He Yuan asked.

"No!" Liu Zixuan shook his head, "It's Mercury Powder!"

"What!"

He Yuan's eyes widened, he studied this field, so knew very well that when the human body is harmed by Mercury Powder, the ultimate outcome is generally death!

"So seems they are beyond saving." He Yuan shook his head helplessly, "But it further confirms the importance of that tomb, knowing that the Star Sea for thousands of years has only seen rare occurrences of Mercury in some Emperor's Tombs."

He Yuan nodded, feeling more certain there were incredible treasures there.

"Then Brother-in-law, what about these people... just waiting to die?" He Yuan felt a bit disheartened, he couldn't bear seeing people suffer.

"The lighter cases I can treat, those severely affected already have their organs corroded by Mercury Powder, they're beyond saving!" Liu Zixuan shrugged.

Though his medical skills are outstanding, Mercury Powder is neither a disease nor poison. The treatment is very laborious.

Besides, these are He Family people, here to steal treasures from him, even if he could treat, Liu Zixuan wouldn't try his best!

Just then, He Yuan's phone rang suddenly, he answered and spoke a few words, then looked at Liu Zixuan, "Brother-in-law, I'll take them away, my father said the Yin Bridge and Yang Path can treat these people!"
