Female Novel
Chapter 564 Wooden Box
Chen Hao pondered on these two sentences.
The first part of the sentence meant that beside the legendary hell flower, nirvana would happen. The
second part of the sentence meant that the revived would appear at a place in Ear of the East [1].
Ear of the East!
Chen!
Chen Hao was overtaken by shock.
He would never have believed that there was someone in this world who could break through all
limitations and achieve a state where one knew the past and the future. Yet, everything that was
happening was pointing toward this direction!
“My ancestors concluded that this person might have the surname of Chen. After his rebirth, his
surname would be Chen!”
Yang Wei looked at Chen Hao and said, “Sir, you look just like the person in the portrait. May I ask
what is your surname? If your surname matches, then you are definitely the person whom we are
waiting for!”
Chen Hao furrowed his eyebrows and nodded.
“I am Chen Hao!” Chen Hao revealed.
“Ah! Then you are… It matches as expected!” Yang Wei was overjoyed.
But Chen Hao felt extremely oppressed.
He felt like there was a pair of invisible giant hands covering everything and manipulating everything.
Under the control of these giant hands, everyone was its chess piece, where they could only move
according to the track it had planned.
It was oppressing, frightening and suffocating.
Who was he exactly?
Chen Hao felt chills on his back and banished his thoughts at once.
Yang Wei took out a box from another secret room.
It was a simple ancient wooden box.
“This is the thing that the old beggar told me to pass to you!” Yang Wei let out a cough as he explained.
“Sir, you may check it. I’ll give you some space.”
“It’s alright. There’s nothing to hide. It seems like no secret can be kept from him in this world anyway!”
Chen Hao smiled bitterly.
He then opened the wooden box.
Once the box was opened, a strange aroma wafted into the air.
In the box, there was a 3cm-long golden amulet which resembled a goldfish’s tail, and it felt hard and
strong.
Beside the amulet was a black pill.
It looked like a medicinal pill.
“That’s incredibly fragrant!” Yang Wei marveled.
Chen Hao picked up the pill and sniffed it. He was then engrossed in his thoughts and didn’t utter a
word.
“Sir, is this pill still edible after such a long time?” Yang Wei asked.
“It isn’t edible now. This is a Revitalizing Pill which can recover one’s energy in a short time. If one falls
into a hopeless impasse, he or she might have a chance to escape from the despair if this Revitalizing
Pill is ingested!”
Chen Hao recalled the strange memory which was instilled in his mind by the jade pendant and
recognized this pill immediately.
“Sir, you’re erudite!” Yang Wei gasped in admiration.
“The materials needed to make this pill are extremely exacting. By the way, I smelled the fragrance of
medicine permeating the air when I entered your house just now. What business are you running now?”novelbin
Chen Hao asked.
“The Yang Family is now operating a medicinal business, and the materials used to make majority of
the medicine come from the sea!” Yang Wei answered.
“Do you have a medicinal material called Five Tastes Herb? It’s the main medicinal material to make
this Revitalizing Pill.”
“Five Tastes Herb? I-I’ve never heard about it!” Yang Wei smiled bitterly.
“It seems like you don’t have it.” Chen Hao shook his head lightly.
The mysterious person definitely knew that this Revitalizing Pill had to be ingested within a month for it
to be effective since he had given this pill to Chen Hao. If that was the case, was the mysterious person
telling him to make this pill in order to save himself in crucial times?
“Not exactly. I am just a boss after all, so I’m not knowledgeable in this field. Although I haven’t heard of
it, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.” Yang Wei hesitated for a second before continuing to speak
after glancing at Chen Hao. “Sir, have you heard of the ‘Precious Traditional Chinese Medicine
Auction’?”
“Are you talking about the underground auction of the Sea Heaven Grand Banquet?” Chen Hao asked
in a light tone.
“Yes. That auction is considered one of the largest activities that is held during the Sea Heaven Grand
Banquet. There will be many precious traditional Chinese medicines which are gathered directly from
medicine farmers and medicine collectors in the mountain. Many of the medicines have an age of more
than 100 years and they are not available in the market. During the auction, the merchants and wealthy
people will purchase it on the spot,” Yang Wei replied.
This kind of auction was obviously organized privately and could not be exposed to the public.
They had to keep it in the dark because first, the origin of the medicinal material could not be
explained. Moreover, countless medicine farmers lost their lives in deep oceans or remote mountains
every year.
“In view of this, rare things would have higher worth. Many wealthy businessmen and prominent figures
attend the Sea Heaven Grand Banquet with the objective of getting this kind of ancient medicine.
Perhaps you might find the thing you want there, Sir,” Yang Wei said.
Chen Hao gave a nod.
“By the way, you said that Mr. Ghost is accurate in foretelling. Did he also calculate that I would come?”
Chen Hao recalled Yang Wei’s words and asked, “Who is this Mr. Ghost?”
This was not the first time Chen Hao came across his name.
He was the one Zhao Yifan sought to get out of difficult situations.
Chen Hao felt that his speculations were sometimes even more accurate than the Sun Totem.
“He is a magical great master in Sea City and his speculations are unbelievably precise! Around the
11th of last month, I visited him and asked him about the person that we have been waiting for 800
years, in hopes that I would get some clues from him. He said that I should wait if I was told to wait. He
also said that the person we’ve been waiting for will appear in a few days! As expected, you appeared
not long after!”
Chen Hao furrowed his eyebrows.
If Mr. Ghost was truly this capable, he must visit him on this trip.
“Where does Mr. Ghost live?” Chen Hao asked.
“If you have something to ask him, I’ll arrange it for you. But it won’t be today!”
“Why?”
“Because Mr. Ghost has a habit where he will only read fortunes on the odd days of every month. On
other days, he will not meet anybody. If you want to visit him, you will have to wait until tomorrow, the
21st!” Yang Wei explained.
“Alright!”
Chen Hao nodded. “Then tonight, I will attend the Sea Heaven Grand Banquet’s medicinal material
auction that you mentioned just now and look for the medicinal materials that I want!”
He needed to gather the medicinal materials to make the Revitalizing Pills as it was also an essential
for the Holy Water Ritual that was approaching.
Besides, this is a hint given to me by the mysterious person, so he must have his reasons! Chen Hao
thought helplessly in his heart.
“Alright, Sir. I… I will accompany you… Cough! Cough!” Yang Wei coughed intensely again.
“I’ll give you a prescription and you can ask someone to grind these herbs. I need to treat your injuries
now.”
After that, Chen Hao and Yang Wei hailed a taxi to the venue of the Sea Heaven Grand Banquet. It
was already late at night but the Sea Heaven Grand Banquet was still ablaze with lights and filled with
huge crowds.
“Sorry, this is a private place. If you don’t have an invitation, please leave,” a security guard walked up
and said bluntly.
“Invitation? Do I, Yang Wei, need an invitation to enter?” Yang Wei replied nonchalantly.
Upon hearing his words, the security guard glared at him. “President Yang? What is this bullshit? I’ve
never even heard of this person. Get lost now if you don’t have an invitation! And you, what are you
looking at? Do you think someone like you can attend the Sea Heaven Grand Banquet?” the security
guard said coldly.
“Yali, look! Isn’t that your junior in college? He’s here too!”
At this moment, a voice rang. Chen Hao turned to look at the direction of the voice and saw Li Yali and
the group. They had just arrived here.
“It seems like he wants to enter the Sea Heaven Grand Banquet to play, but is rejected!” A few girls
laughed mockingly.
“Why is this person so brainless? Is he crazy from poverty? Does he think that just anyone can enter
the Sea Heaven Grand Banquet?”
“Chen Hao, what are you doing here?” Li Yali asked in astonishment. Her mouth was opened so wide
that it could fit an egg.
“What else can he do? The poorer one is, the stronger the urge to flaunt. He must have came here to
look around so that he can post it on his social media just to prove that he came!” a few girls taunted in
a low voice.
Obviously, these few girls disliked Chen Hao.
Chen Hao did not reply to them.
Even so, Li Yali and the girls were clear that they did not want to stay with Chen Hao any longer
because they had attracted quite a few stares.
The man beside Li Yali said, “Alright, let’s go in now. It’s starting soon!”
Yang Wei was red with shame now.
He glared resentfully at the security guard. “Are you sure that you won’t let us in? The medicinal
material auction is only held in the name of the Sea Heaven Grand Banquet. It does not belong to the
Ming Family. Don’t cross the line!”
“I said that I won’t let you in! Without an invitation, whatever you say is useless!” the security guard
rebutted heartlessly.
“What happened?” Suddenly, a clear female voice rang loudly.
This caused everyone to look in that direction.
Yang Wei’s face turned gloomy and looked to where the voice came from. He then saw a group of
people walking toward him, and the one who spoke was a girl in the lead.
The girl was lanky and she had distinct facial features, as if she was cleanly carved from marble. She
looked like a person of mixed race. At this moment, her chin was raised highly and there was a tinge of
disdain in her eyes.
“Miss!” the security guards greeted her in unison.
