Chapter 36: Night Visitors to Burial Immortal Town

~10 min read 1,864 words

The "Nine Springs Map" was much clearer than the "Trace Vein Guide Map," with detailed markings on the location and opening order of each spring.

The four springs of the limbs were naturally the earliest to open and the simplest.

It was written on it:

"Top-tier talent, ten years of hard practice will succeed."

"Medium-tier talent takes ten to thirty years."

The fifth spring is located at the "Zhongshu" on the back. The sixth spring is located at the "Shanzhong" on the chest. The seventh spring is located at the "Baihui" on the top of the head.

Opening seven springs, the whole body is connected, and one can try to impact a higher realm.

"Top-tier talent, twenty years of hard practice, seven springs are promising."

Seeing this, Li Youyi felt that the Jin Wu blood was even more precious. Top-tier talent had to practice hard for twenty years to have a chance to open seven springs. How much cultivation time did he save?

No!

The Dharma-Wu cultivators in this world might start practicing martial arts and opening springs at the age of three. By his age, they had already practiced for fifteen or sixteen years.

Besides, he could drink Jin Wu blood. Didn't the noble children in this world have precious blood medicine?

Jin Wu blood was just filling the fifteen or sixteen years of time he had delayed, and it was far from being filled back.

Furthermore, this only refers to top-tier talent. It was written later that those with particularly outstanding talent can try to impact the eighth spring "Fengfu" at the back of the head, and the ninth spring "Zutian" below the navel.

Mortals who successfully impact "Fengfu" can be called heroes, and in the same realm, they can suppress deviants and catch up with pure immortal bodies.

Mortals who successfully impact "Zutian" can be called supreme people, which is a manifestation of an extreme physique, and their edge can cover pure immortal bodies.

Li Youyi was very excited. It turned out that there was a way to catch up on the Martial Dao path. Although he was mediocre, it was not that he had no chance to challenge pure immortal bodies in the same realm. At this moment, his fighting spirit was extremely vigorous.

Mortals are suppressed by deviants in the same realm. They are cross-realm suppressed by pure immortal bodies of lower realms.

Li Youyi didn't want to live so aggrieved.

Fengfu, Zutian...

But mortals can impact Fengfu and Zutian, can’t deviants and pure immortal bodies also impact?

At that time, wouldn't they still be suppressed?

Just as he was feeling uncomfortable, Li Youyi’s ears moved, hearing strange sounds, and he quickly unfolded the ghost flag wrapping the Evil Camel Bell and covered it on the bonfire. The flames went out, leaving only thick smoke.

The entire room, the entire Burial Immortal Town, was completely shrouded in darkness.

"Clatter!"

A dense sound of footsteps entered the town.

More figures flew across the roofs, their steps light.

Li Youyi draped the ghost flag over his body to cover his aura, turned into a black shadow, leaped over the dirt wall, changed several houses in a row, and finally hid on a beam.

"I clearly saw firelight from afar, how did it disappear all of a sudden?"

"Search, search room by room."

The sound of kicking doors and chopping debris rang out all around.

More than a dozen torches were lit.

There were dozens of soldiers from the Earth Wolf King Army who entered Burial Immortal Town, all of them carefully selected experts, at least having opened two springs.

Half of them, under the leadership of Shi Jiuzhai’s tenth disciple Xing Wanxing, rushed toward the northeast corner of the market town.

There, grew a thousand-year-old apricot tree that seven or eight people could embrace, with dense branches and leaves and many roots.

Under the apricot tree, there was an ancient well with a diameter of more than three zhang, surrounded by stone railings, and dozens of giant stone statues stood there. In the faint water mist, it gave people a feeling of an ancient, illusory, and ancient feeling.

Torches surrounded the ancient well.

"Clatter!"

In the desperate dragging of iron chains, the sound of water clattered, and a silver-material coffin, as large as a house, was pulled up.

It was extremely heavy, and more than twenty deviant Dharma-Wu cultivators with infinite strength were pulling it very hard.

Yesterday, a large number of powerhouses from the Beast Li Tribe came to rescue, and the Earth Wolf King Army was forced to retreat. But this silver coffin was too heavy and too huge to be taken away, so it could only be hidden in the well first.

Xing Wanxing’s eyes were excited. He saw yesterday that this coffin was extraordinary. Not to mention the unknown things in the coffin, the silver coffin itself was worth a fortune.

Such alien coffins, the big figures of those ten-million-family sects and ten-million-family sects, must be extremely interested.

Selling for ten thousand times ten thousand silver coins is just a trifle.

A four-spring Dharma-Wu cultivator beside Xing Wanxing whispered: "Xing Ye, why don't we quietly open this coffin, take away the things in the coffin. Then, send it back..."

"Shut up! Once the alien coffin is opened, it won't be that valuable."

How could Xing Wanxing not have greed?

It was really because whether the alien coffin had been opened or not, an expert could see the clues at a glance.

Shi Jiuzhai was not easy to deceive, and Xing Wanxing really didn't have the guts.

Furthermore, opening a blind coffin involves great risks.

It is possible that the things in the coffin are worthless, or even empty. It is also possible that there are terrifying fierce things sealed in the coffin, and opening the coffin will kill many people.

Xing Wanxing had heard that a big family in a giant city spent thirty thousand times ten thousand silver coins to buy an alien coffin with precious material, but after opening the coffin, it released an incomprehensible thing, causing millions of people in the entire city to be harmed and turned into a dead city of forbidden zones.

There are also legends that after opening a blind coffin, the dead body in the coffin suddenly resurrected and killed all the openers before leaving.

Some coffins have hidden weapons, some have poisonous insects...

If opening a blind coffin really had profit without loss and no risk at all, then alien coffins would not be able to circulate in the market.

If fishing for coffins, lifting coffins, and opening coffins were not extremely dangerous, how could the Nine Li Tribe always dominate the upstream of this industrial chain?

Risk and profit are always directly proportional.

"Bang!"

The white silver giant coffin was just pulled out of the ancient well. It was too heavy, and the hemp rope binding the coffin suddenly broke.

The coffin fell to the ground.

With a clatter, the coffin lid was shaken open, sliding down more than a foot.

Everyone was scared back.

Xing Wanxing was about to explode with anger: "You guys, can you be careful... that is..."

In the gap where the coffin lid slid, silver auspicious brilliance sprayed out, releasing a rich exotic fragrance.

The mist covering the surrounding houses instantly turned silver, like a gorgeous and mysterious cloud group in the immortal world, and silver flowers condensed inside.

Xing Wanxing was instantly sluggish, his eyes wide.

This didn't look like a fierce coffin at all, it was definitely a treasure coffin with countless exotic treasures inside.

"Xing Ye, it has nothing to do with us. The coffin nails had long been pried away, so the coffin lid slid down after falling to the ground. When the Cangli Tribe fished it up from the sea of blood, it was likely opened!" Someone reported after checking.

The four-spring Dharma-Wu cultivator behind Xing Wanxing whispered again: "Since it has been opened a corner, why not see what is inside?"

Xing Wanxing calculated secretly in his heart. If there were really any rare treasures inside, why not take them away and then go far away? Anyway, after such a change, transporting the coffin back would also be suspected by Shi Jiuzhai.

After Xing Wanxing gave the order, the heavy white silver coffin lid was lifted by several deviants together.

The silver light emitted from the coffin was even more dazzling, illuminating half of Burial Immortal Town.

The silver flowers condensed in the mist became more and more.

In the coffin, there lay a white silver giant skeleton eleven or twelve meters long, and the inside of the bones looked like a galaxy flowing, which was extremely brilliant. But apart from that, there was nothing else.

Xing Wanxing sighed, greatly disappointed.

This white silver skeleton might be useful to some great monks, but it was worthless to him. [36

"Perhaps the true treasure is inside, but it has already been taken by the Cangli tribe," he thought to himself.

"Whoosh!"

Like a wisp of breeze under the night sky, Li Ling stepped on traces of blue mist, her slender and graceful figure drifting down onto a three-story roof not far from the ancient well.

She had originally followed Li Youyi to Burial Immortal Town, never expecting such an unexpected harvest.

Aren't these the same group of Buddha-Crossing thieves from yesterday?

A chill surged in her eyes as her jade hand removed a golden silk insect bag from her waist and tilted it outward.

"Woo-woo!"

Exotic insects the size of rice grains flew out in swarms, like dense clusters of firefly lights, surrounding the twenty-some thieves by the ancient well.

Hearing the dense sound of flapping wings, Xing Wanxing turned his head, his expression changing instantly: "It's Ghost-Fire Gourd Beetles! Don't let them touch you, disperse immediately!"

Too late!

The first deformed human to be landed upon by a Ghost-Fire Gourd Beetle let out a shrill scream; his back was burned through in an instant, and the fire spread, turning him into a giant fireball.

Three breaths later, his massive body, over two meters tall, was burned to ashes.

The second, the third...

The soldiers of the Earth Wolf King Army ignited one after another.

The scene was filled with alternating screams and wails, descending into chaos. Some fled into the distance, while others jumped into the ancient well.

Peering through a crack in the window, Li Youyi looked at the slender, beautiful figure of the young girl on the distant roof and recognized her. He could not believe she would appear here.

Sensing she was being watched, Li Ling turned her head and cast a light, drifting glance toward the dilapidated house where Li Youyi was hiding.

"Her sensory ability is this strong?"

Li Youyi hurriedly withdrew his gaze, suddenly realizing that Li Ling's appearance here might be aimed at him.

Why?

In this instant, many thoughts surfaced in Li Youyi's mind.

Did a great kindness turn into enmity? Or was the secret of him possessing magic artifacts exposed?

Otherwise, why would she secretly follow him?

Something must have gone wrong somewhere.
