Chapter 1268: The Immortal

Qu Yu had dissected a large number of Heavenly Demons. That meant this underground palace likely buried a large number of divine remains/demon remains! This was another divine tomb! A treasure waiting for him to excavate!

Fu Liushan's Acorn Men worked conscientiously, and before long, they indeed found two landfill sites for experimental subjects.

To be precise, they were two massive stone cave tombs, twice as large as the Brightness Well. Qu Yu had thrown all the used and failed experimental subjects, as well as various sundries, here.

Dong Rui's eyes lit up the moment he walked in, and he couldn't help but let out an impassioned shout.

Su-su-sure enough, there were huge divine remains everywhere! Although there was no Crystal Mountain protection, most of the remains here had eroded flesh and only white bones left, but the surfaces of the bones were covered with tiny red moss. If you brushed them aside to touch the bones, you could see a metallic luster.

"In our jargon, this is called 'Corpse-Wrapping Moss'; it lives by attaching itself to the remains of the strong, and it can maintain the activity of the bones."

He Lingchuan and Fu Liushan walked into this giant's graveyard and were also so shocked they couldn't speak for a long time.

The space here was almost filled with so-called "divine bodies," one huge corpse after another lying or sitting, even piled into several small hills.

The enclosed graveyard, the huge skeletons, the hollow eye sockets, the desolate atmosphere...

This visual impact was pale even when described in words.

Dong Rui, meanwhile, was as happy as a mouse that had fallen into a honey jar, flipping through this one, knocking on that one, and before long, he had disappeared.

He Lingchuan was also very happy; the remains in the graveyard looked like they still retained activity, and that meant—

He could manufacture more, many more Punishment Dragon Pillars! The divine bones he had squeezed out of Dong Rui before were all counted by the piece, and he had to pay a high price.

Now, they were everywhere for the picking! Immortal Minghui and his fellow disciples truly hadn't harmed few Heavenly Demons back then; well done!

Of course, this graveyard didn't just have remains; it also had other messy things, such as various weapons, armor, magic tools, and all sorts of sundries.

Like Dong Rui, Qu Yu didn't seem to be a master of organization.

But during the exploration, the Divine Bone Necklace actually heated up twice.

This place actually had something it wanted to eat?

He Lingchuan spent quite a bit of effort before finding it: a small fragment that seemed to be some kind of magic tool, its full appearance unknown, its material unknown, and its color dull.

Asking Fu Liushan and the Soul-Absorbing Mirror, neither knew what material it was. So He Lingchuan suspected that the Great Fang Hu just wanted to have a taste.

Another item the Great Fang Hu was interested in was a bone.

It looked like the middle finger of some Heavenly Demon, but the color was slightly red, different from all the other bone joints.

He Lingchuan fed it to the Divine Bone Necklace, and the latter stopped heating up.

He was just about to stand up when he saw a long piece of divine bone in the bone pile nearby that was particularly eye-catching:

It looked like a tail, clearly segmented, but black, and at the tip, there were three sharp spikes that could separate.

Coincidentally, there was a half-body skeleton wearing broken armor nearby. He Lingchuan grabbed this black tail spike and swung it backhanded—

*Crack! * The half-body skeleton was smashed into pieces! Huh, not bad power. He casually put it away.

Demon bones, skin, horns, and teeth could be made into magic tools; there was no reason Heavenly Demon ones couldn't.

He had to take them back and let the Songyang Mansion study them thoroughly.

Changing his perspective, this wasn't a bone-dumping ground at all; it was clearly a treasure mountain! How could he return empty-handed? In the blink of an eye, he had found over a dozen more such remains. Fortunately, he had plenty of storage space on him, otherwise, he really couldn't have fit them all.

From afar came Dong Rui's cheers—

He had touched a whole row of crystal jars against the wall, all filled with divine blood!

When He Lingchuan found him, he was so excited he was incoherent: "I'm not leaving! I'm going to live here for the rest of my life!"

This place was the number one holy land in the mind of a Demon Puppet Master! Before He Lingchuan could even open his mouth, a long horn blast suddenly sounded a few yards away, startling both him and Dong Rui.

This sound actually possessed both shrill and vigorous characteristics, magnificent and surging; as soon as it rang out, both of them subconsciously covered their ears.

Following the sound, they saw that it was actually the Ghost Ape sitting on a pile of waste, blowing a horn.

The horn was as long as a human arm, ginger-yellow, with unique spiral textures on the surface, though unfortunately, it was covered in stains.

It was just blowing it for fun, but the sound was too loud, startling even the Ghost Ape itself.

The Soul-Absorbing Mirror in He Lingchuan's embrace immediately cried out: "Kui Ox Horn, this is a Kui Ox Horn! There are really so many good things here."

"Are you sure?" Legend had it that the skin of the ancient exotic beast Kui Ox was used for drums, and its long horns for horns, both having the effect of intimidating people's hearts in battle.

"Of course, I've seen it with my own eyes before!" It was a mirror with knowledge and experience, "It appeared in two battles during the Medieval period that I personally witnessed!"

He Lingchuan reached out to the Ghost Ape, and the latter jumped over and obediently handed over the horn.

He picked it up and examined it carefully, discovering a hole the size of a coin on the horn, "It sounds broken when blown, no longer deep; no wonder it was thrown in the landfill."

"The timbre is indeed terrifying." The Soul-Absorbing Mirror agreed, "Like the wailing of ghosts and gods in the middle of the night, and a whole crowd of them at that."

He Lingchuan had intended to casually throw the horn away, but hearing it described like that, he took it back: "Not bad, I've thought of how it can be put to use."

Just as the Soul-Absorbing Mirror was about to ask, Ling Guang suddenly ran over from afar and jumped onto He Lingchuan's shoulder: "There's a secret chamber, there's treasure! Come quickly, come quickly!"

"What treasure?" He Lingchuan and the others put down the junk in their hands and walked in the direction it pointed.

"Just valuable treasure, shiny things!" Ling Guang was at a loss for words and scratched the back of its head.

He Lingchuan rarely saw it this excited, so he quickened his pace.

It turned out there was a secret chamber converted from a natural stone cave on the edge of the landfill, only it was blocked at the entrance by a huge skeleton.

Ling Guang had just squeezed through a crack, while the Ghost Ape directly grew larger, moved the remains, and pushed open the heavy door.

He Lingchuan had just raised the fluorescent spores when a scene of glittering jewels suddenly reflected before his eyes, and the other two were instantly wide-eyed.

Dong Rui muttered: "I finally understand what a mountain of gold and silver really means!"

It was the literal meaning, very plain and simple.

What met the three people's eyes first was a small mountain piled with gold, then a small mountain piled with silver.

The third mountain was jewelry.

Each mountain was a *zhang* high, thick like a sand dune.

Just these three sand dunes dazzled the eyes of the three of them.

He Lingchuan's subordinates had been excavating sunken ship treasures all over the Yangshan Archipelago. But to date, all the treasures they had dug up didn't even amount to one-third of what was in this secret chamber! Fu Liushan was so shocked his mouth wouldn't close, and it took him a long time to move a few steps and sit down on something at random:

"My, my legs are weak."

Only after he came to his senses did he touch it and realize he was sitting on a gold drum stool.
