C78 Strange Mausoleum
All the arrangements for entering the mausoleum were made, and everyone was basically using the country as their unit. Only the pill refiners formed their own group.
Ling Hao, Ling Yan, and the others had weaker cultivations. After Ling Tianyu instructed Mo Xiuyan to protect them, they left with the apothecaries.
The entrance to the underground mausoleum was at the place that was split open by the sword light. If not for the fact that the sword intent had completely disappeared, perhaps no one would know.
"Little friend Ling is indeed powerful, but the pill refiner cares about his soul force. Therefore, I hope that little friend Ling will not act rashly later."
This was an old man whose name was Myriad withering. Upon seeing the three vertical slashes on his chest, he realized that he should be a 3-star apothecary. As for his current cultivation realm, he had no idea.
As for the other countries' Heavenly Medicine Pavilion, they had only sent out a few apothecaries. The highest ranked among them was this thousand years old, and because of the value of the apothecaries, they had lost a single apothecary.
Cultivators who came out to gain experience were usually from the younger generation. When pill refiners came out to collect the 'Heavenly Flame', it didn't matter whether they were male or female.
Moreover, there were very few young alchemists in the seven Eastern Kingdoms.
"This is Master Life from the Blackwater Empire, a Tier 3 Pill Refiner." Someone began to introduce the other party to Zhang Xuan. If his fighting prowess was insufficient to suppress Ling Tianyu, he should be able to do so as an apothecary.
Ling Tianyu remained impassive. "Alright, without Elder Shang's instructions, I promise that I won't make a move."
However, many people were displeased when they heard that Old Xing was the only one with such a title. However, no one had any objections when it came to longevity. They couldn't be bothered to argue about it as they could only go in and search for the 'Heavenly Flame' first.
A group of about fifteen or sixteen people walked into the underground tomb.
There were more than ten tunnels in front of him.
Wan Li took out the map and looked at it, then pointed to the left passageway. "It's over here."
According to the map, these tunnels would eventually enter the second floor of the mausoleum. However, the 'Heavenly Flame' would first appear in the leftmost tunnel.
After they left, the Empire's Chosen also walked in. They were still using the country as their unit. Each of them chose their own path.
Ka-cha! *
While walking, Ling Tianyu broke something with his foot.
Wan Li and the others immediately stopped.
"It's a skeleton."
Ling Tianyu said as he released the flames of his zhenqi.
"Brat, I told you to be careful. Also, quickly extinguish the flame. Otherwise, we will not be able to see the existence of the 'Heavenly Flame'." one of them shouted.
So this was the reason why these guys didn't light their lamps? A bunch of idiots!
Ling Tianyu extinguished the flames of zhenqi, but even with his eyesight, he was still able to see the scattered bones of the humans.
Thus, this tomb was definitely man-made. Could it be that an ancient emperor was buried here, and all these people were buried with him?
The group moved forward again. Soon, they arrived at the first spot where the 'Heavenly Flame' had appeared.
"Be careful!"
Wan Li warned, and then carefully moved forward.
Ah!
Suddenly, a scream could be heard from the crowd. One of the apothecaries trembled and pointed to the front, "Ghost..." "Ghost!"
Sure enough, a shadow stood in front of him. However, if one looked carefully, they would see that it was a skeleton with a long sword in its hand. The sword was in both hands and the tip was pointed at the ground like a guard.
"A spirit artifact!" Ling Tianyu stared at the sword. Even though he was very old, he was faintly emitting a stronger aura than his own Lunar Shadow Sword.
However, this sword had its martial will extinguished. It was only an ordinary treasure sword, but it was still stronger than the Lunar Shadow Sword.
Therefore, at best, this sword was made of better materials.
Spirit weapons could only be forged by Life and Death Realm experts. They were fused with the martial will of Life and Death Realm experts, and were said to be able to nurture spirit artifacts with immense power.
A spirit artifact with a artifact spirit could produce its own consciousness. As the will of martial arts spread out, those with a low cultivation simply couldn't approach it or be crushed.
A martial practitioner who possessed a spirit weapon, however, this person was at least a Life and Death Realm expert. He was actually standing here and died without any reaction. This was truly worth pondering over.
"What are you shouting about? That's only a skeleton. The 'Heavenly Flame' from last time was seen by this skeleton."
He slapped the apothecary until he was completely befuddled by the sight before him.
"Be careful, let's see if you can make it."
The group of people cautiously walked over and used their mental energy to check it out once, but they didn't find anything.
"Let's go to the next spot."
After waiting for a long time to pass, Ling Tianyu started to think about that sword.
"Brother, since you're already dead, let me use this sword." While Ling Tianyu spoke to the skeleton, he tried to break the sword in his hand.
However, the sword seemed to have merged with him, and couldn't move at all.
"Damn, you're so stingy?" Ling Tianyu kicked it.
Ka-cha! *
The skeleton naturally fell apart, so he brought the weapon over.
"En, not bad. It is indeed better than the Lunar Shadow. It is just a little rusted." Ling Tianyu flicked his sword in satisfaction and walked forward.
But just as he took a few steps, an 'Ah!' sound of misery came from up ahead.
Following that, the sound of someone dying was heard. "Old Yun, what happened to you?"
"Yi, why is that kid gone?" Someone noticed that Ling Tianyu wasn't following them.
"I'm here, what's going on?" Ling Tianyu arrived with a sword in his hand. When he saw the lifeless eyes of an old man, his facial expression changed drastically. However, there was no sign of life.
Weird, strange death.
"Could it be that there really is a ghost here?" The old man from before cried out. From the way he died, it was clear that his soul had been taken away.
"How is this possible? "Where did this ghost come from in this world?" He argued for thousands of years.
"If there aren't any ghosts, how can I explain this? Just like a while ago, all of their souls were taken away. It must be the doing of ghosts, devouring their souls."
Some people started to argue with one another. Ling Tianyu shook his head helplessly.
Wan Li looked at the sword in Ling Tianyu's hand and suddenly asked, "What is in little friend Ling Tian's hand?"
It's definitely a sword in your hand. Are you blind?
Ling Tianyu cursed furiously in his heart. This fellow had been acting like an old man the entire time. It was obvious that he didn't place any importance on him.0
"I'm asking where you got your sword from."
"Oh, it's from the skeleton soldier at the door. What's the matter?" Ling Tianyu shrugged.
"What?" Who told you to move things recklessly, it caused Old Yun's death! " Some of the apothecaries glared furiously at Ling Tianyu, as though they were ready to murder him.
Ling Tianyu laughed, "What, you want to fight?"
At the very most, apothecaries would only have a cultivation level of the Apothecary Realm. Even if they were to live for ten thousand years, they would only be at the Qi Manipulation Realm primary stage. It would be a piece of cake for him to take care of them.
If they make a move, kill them and get the 'Heavenly Flame' for themselves.
"Little friend Ling, let's not bother about this matter anymore. Please do not move anything recklessly!" Knowing that they were unable to defeat Ling Tianyu, he flung his sleeves and walked forward.
The second source of flame was a secret room where a coffin was located. Last time, the Sea of Bitterness had personally witnessed the flame getting into the coffin before escaping again.
