Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

He took the gold object casually.

Chen Yulou glanced around.

Only then did I realize that although the object in my hand was not big, its exquisite design was definitely unprecedented.

It is about two feet long and looks like a hollow gold tube, but with a little force and a slight shake, it will split into seven pieces from the middle downwards.

Like golden petals.

As sharp as a knife.

With hook at the bottom.

Gently lift it up again, and the golden hook will instantly close into one.

I ran my finger across the wall of the tube, but I couldn't detect even the slightest flaw. It was completely integrated and no water could get in.

It is somewhat similar to the whirlwind shovel used by the tomb raider.

But it is significantly more flexible and precise.

It is extremely light in the hand, like a bamboo flute.

Chen Yulou even wondered, if the golden leaves hidden in the hollow tube could fly out, wouldn't the golden twister be usable as a hidden weapon?

"Where did this thing come from?"

Holding the golden twister, Chen Yulou raised his wrist and did not rush into the cave to collect herbs. Instead, he asked a meaningful question.

Although Wuyi is a great demon, it is obviously unlikely that this thing was made by it.

Even if it was Li Shuguo from Honeycomb Mountain, it would take more than a day or two to imitate it.

"This……"

Wu Yi was stunned for a moment.

I secretly glanced at Mr. Chen, who was walking in the air at the foot of the mountain with his long gown fluttering in the wind. I felt that his clear eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

He hesitated for a moment.

In the end, I couldn't hold back the panic in my heart.

"This creature was brought by Madam Bai from Shiyan Lake to celebrate the birthday of the Dragon King during the Dragon King's Dharma Assembly. It was originally a white snake, but it accidentally ate a magical herb in the mountains, and that's how it was able to cultivate and become a demon."

"It is said that her favorite thing to do on weekdays is to transform herself, sneak into the market, and eavesdrop on the old doctors who are sitting in the clinic talking about pharmacology and how to cure diseases and save lives."

"I met her once at a Dharma Assembly. I heard that there were many spiritual herbs on Junshan Island, and the Golden Turtle Clan had great talent. She wanted me, the old turtle, to collect herbs for her. In order to prevent the medicinal properties from being lost, she also gave me this golden twister."

The Dragon King Dharma Assembly of Dongting Lake more than three hundred years ago.

Almost all the water monsters and demons in the three rivers and four lakes received invitations and came to participate.

Therefore, even after so many years, the old turtle still clearly remembers the grand occasion of that day.

The big monsters that usually look up to others only look up to it because of its identity as a dragon's son.

"Mrs. Bai."

"White snake?!"

Listen to it chattering about the past.

Chen Yulou's expression suddenly became strange.

Fortunately, this happened in Yuanxiang, otherwise he would have suspected whether Madam Xiaoqing still existed.

"Yes."

"But after she gave me the golden twister, she disappeared for many years. The old turtle was still young at that time and had not yet transformed, so it didn't dare to move around."

"After that..."

"Because I angered Taoist Li Cunming, he suppressed me in the well."

Seeing Mr. Chen's playful smile.

Wu Yi was suddenly at a loss.

I didn't know if I had said something wrong or what was going on, I just subconsciously lowered my voice and replied carefully.

"okay."

Seeing that it mentioned Taoist Li Cunming again, Chen Yulou frowned slightly.

This guy is filled with resentment.

Every time I talk about that past event, I almost grit my teeth.

But to Chen Yulou, Taoist Li was a senior master after all, and he had inherited his legacy and practiced in the cave. How could he tolerate such words?

What's more.

He didn't think Taoist Li was wrong.

This old turtle relied on his status as a dragon's son to bully others and stir up trouble, killing countless fishermen and civilians.

The suppression is mild.

If it were him, the old turtle would have turned into soil long ago.

Noticing Mr. Chen's unhappy tone, Wu Yi's heart sank suddenly. She stammered, wanting to explain a few words, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't dare to say them out loud.

In case I say the wrong thing again.

I have offended Mr. Chen in front of me.

The life that I had managed to save with great difficulty was completely gone.

Chen Yulou was too lazy to pay attention to its thoughts and stepped into the cave. The invisible formation outside of him was like a water curtain and did not block him at all.

But once you enter it.

He then felt an extremely strong medicinal fragrance filling the cave.

The spiritual energy emanating from Polygonatum odoratum is like the morning mist in the mountains, which you can almost touch with your hand.

A slight flick of the wrist.

The front end of the golden twist suddenly spread out.

The seven golden leaves spread out in a line, like an umbrella, just covering the Polygonatum sibiricum.

Chen Yulou did not hesitate and dropped the golden twister.

Once the sharp golden leaves touched the ground, there was almost no resistance and they penetrated deep into the ground.

And Huang Jing seemed to have noticed something.

The leaves that had been silent suddenly seemed to come alive, rustling and making a rustling noise.

The spiritual roots hidden underground were struggling desperately.

But oddly enough.

The golden element all around is like a cage. No matter which direction you go, you cannot escape at all.

"Among the five elements, metal overcomes wood!"

aware of this scene.

Chen Yulou understood immediately.

No wonder people say that the essence of plants and trees can be alive even when old. There are countless stories of ginseng medicine turning into boys among the people. Once they sense danger, or when someone picks them or wild beasts eat them, they will run away for their lives.

Now he has seen it.

The function of this golden twister is clearly to trap it in place with the help of the five elements of life and death, so as to prevent the spiritual root from escaping from the soil.

As for...

The reason why the human-shaped fleshy plant under the cliff on the back side of Zhalong Mountain did not grow legs and escape.

Chen Yulou guessed that it was most likely due to the Feng Shui formation in the mountains.

After all, in the gourd cave, the corpses and evil spirits used to worship the mountain god were trapped in the water and unable to leave, and their way to reincarnation was cut off.

What’s more, it is a human-shaped fleshy weed?

Besides, compared to it, isn’t the Wannian Zhixian that King Xian used as his coffin more amazing?

Even it can't escape.

One can imagine how terrifying the Feng Shui formation of Zhalong Mountain is.

Now that the golden twister has sunk into the ground, forming a small golden formation, Chen Yulou acted decisively and controlled his Qi as if he was holding an invisible shovel.

As he waved his hand.

The soil around the Polygonatum was quickly dug out.

In less than a moment.

The complete Polygonatum sibiricum appeared completely in his sight.

The spiritual root, as white as jade, is spotless and has taken root more than a meter deep into the cave. Together with the seven leaves on the branch, the whole plant of Polygonatum is larger than one can imagine.

The first time I went to Pingshan to rob tombs.

In the pavilions deep in the Danjing are stored magical herbs and precious medicines that emperors of successive dynasties collected from all over the world in order to refine the elixir of immortality.

Among them are quite a few Polygonatum.

But compared with the one in front of him, there is a world of difference.

No matter the size, medicinal properties or spirituality.

No wonder the old turtle has been guarding it for hundreds of years.

If it really swallowed it in one gulp, it would be equivalent to at least hundreds of years of hard training, directly awakening the dragon blood and transforming from a ghost into a dragon.

but.

It probably couldn't have imagined it.

After hundreds of years of waiting, she ended up making things difficult for Chen Yulou.

His mind moved.

In an instant, he took out a jade box from the Qihai Cave.

Carefully put away the Polygonatum.

The jade box can prevent the loss of medicinal properties and spiritual energy.

However, just in case, he also sealed a symbol of suppression around the jade box, so that it could be foolproof.

When doing these.

He was not worried about being seen by Wu Yi and Bai Ze.

After all, we are now in a cave. Unless the old ghost has opened his third eye, there is no risk of being spied on from this angle.

Wait until everything is done.

Only then did he pick up the golden wire and turn around and walk out of the cave.

He took a step into the air.

It landed lightly on the top of the cliff.

Bai Ze and Wu Yi were standing on the left and right, still waiting quietly.

but.

The former's eyes were full of anticipation.

The old turtle lowered his head, his expression unable to hide his dejection.

After all, this was a great medicine that he had guarded for hundreds of years, but now he had to give it up to someone else. No one could bear it.

"Here, I'll return your things to you."

Chen Yulou glanced at it and just felt funny.

He played with the golden twist for a while and then threw it away.

Although this thing is somewhat interesting, it is not enough to make him excited.

But this action was obviously beyond the old turtle's expectations. He looked up subconsciously with a look of surprise. Just now he thought that the golden twister could never be retrieved.

Didn't even have any illusions.

Now Mr. Chen has used it up.

He actually returned it voluntarily.

I saw the golden twist getting bigger and bigger in my pupils.

The old turtle did not dare to hesitate. With a thought, a wisp of demonic energy suddenly condensed out of thin air in front of him. He caught it and hid it under his shell.

See this scene.

A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Yulou's eyes.

The scene of Wu Yi hiding deep in the deep pool some time ago subconsciously emerged in his mind.

At this moment, my eyes swept over.

really.

There was a patch of color that was clearly off on its inky black tortoise shell.

Tends to be ink-blue.

Moreover, there are also very obvious differences in the patterns on it.

Scale armor!

Chen Yulou knew what was going on. Although the old turtle hid very well and had never revealed the fact that it had dragon scales, it could never have imagined that he had already known about it.

At this moment it is lying on the ground.

I just felt a hidden gaze sweeping behind me.

It couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The piece of scale armor was given to it by the old dragon after the ritual assembly that year. It was considered a protective magic weapon.

In order not to lose it.

Wuyi specially took off a piece of tortoise shell from his back and integrated it into the mixture. After so many years of refining, the scales and the tortoise shell were almost perfectly integrated and completely unnoticeable.

But don't know why.

In front of Mr. Chen, it always felt like a blank piece of paper, with no secrets at all.

I lowered my head subconsciously, not daring to look him in the eye.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. The old turtle was cautious and didn't point out his little thoughts. He just withdrew his gaze and asked casually.

"How is your injury recovering?"

"This... to answer Mr. Chen, I have recovered about 50% to 60%."

Wu Yi was shocked and replied quickly.

It has dragon scales and can recover extremely quickly.

Otherwise, after being hit by Luofu and becoming a monster with a different head, it would be a blessing to be able to survive, let alone recover.

"Very quickly."

Chen Yulou smiled.

When Wuyi heard these words, she became even more uneasy.

I always feel that Mr. Chen is hinting at something.

I didn't dare to answer at all.

"Recover from your injuries during this time. Also... don't the Golden Turtle Clan have a talent for finding herbs and spiritual objects? In your free time, take a walk around Junshan Island."

"No one has picked them for hundreds of years, so there must be a lot of magical herbs left."

"If you can find another plant of this great medicine, Chen will not hesitate to give you an opportunity."

Chen Yulou smiled faintly.

This idea came to me as early as when I learned about the talents of the Golden Turtle Clan.

That's why we didn't kill it outright.

To him, Wuyi was not a monster at all, but a spiritual beast that could hunt for treasures. The most important thing was that he didn’t need to expel it or raise it.

A proper tool man.

wrong.

Tool turtle!

"Yes……"

Upon hearing this.

Wu Yi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

What followed was a feeling of helplessness and sadness.

After all, he is a descendant of the dragon. During the Dragon King's ceremony, even those big monsters occupying the lake had to give it some face.

It's better now.

This is basically treating it like a dog.

However, Wuyi did not dare to even think of resisting and could only agree silently.

Because it knew very well that it had to demonstrate its usefulness in front of Mr. Chen, otherwise... a useless waste had no right to live.

Also.

It is also looking forward to the opportunity promised by Mr. Chen.

This kind of person can fly in the sky and hide in the ground, with a phoenix as his follower.

Even if a little bit of energy leaks through the gaps between its fingers, it is enough for it to become a great demon.

"Let's go back."

"Rest well."

"Maybe in a few days, I'll be able to use you."

Chen Yulou waved his hand and smiled meaningfully.

But the old turtle didn't dare to think too much after hearing this.

Where can it be used?

Isn't it the Dragon Palace under Dongting Lake? !

It was originally thought to be a long time away.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen couldn't wait any longer.

but……

After all, he was an old dragon who had practiced for thousands of years and suppressed all the monsters in the four directions of the water palace. He was only one step away from transforming into a dragon by walking on the water.

Such a terrifying existence.

Even if you want to steal the old dragon's cave, which has been hidden for thousands of years.

Shouldn't we be more careful?

However, it only dared to complain about these words in its heart and did not dare to question them in person.

It has no idea of ​​Mr. Chen's strength.

As for the old dragon of Dongting Lake.

Anyway, it doesn't have much blood relationship.

It's best to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

By then, both sides will be defeated, and no one on Junshan Island will be able to restrain it. Maybe Wuyi will be able to enter the Dragon Palace and live out his life as the Dragon King.

Watch the old turtle go away.

Until it sank back into the depths of the dark pool, it summoned out the dragon scales and healed the wound on its shell bit by bit.

Chen Yulou then withdrew his gaze and looked at Bai Ze instead.

"Walk."

"Let's go back too."

"It's time to retreat."

Bai Ze hadn't recovered from what had just happened yet. Hearing this, he nodded subconsciously.

Follow him.

One man and one deer returned to Chashan Island along the same path they came from.

On the huge tea mountain.

In addition to the newly renovated Yunhu Temple.

He also built a cave specifically for the white deer.

On weekdays, it reads and rests in it.

Following his instructions, the white deer returned to the cave and did not rest. Instead, he stood in front of the stone table and read seriously. In front of him was a Thousand Character Classic.

The more you see.

The more it yearns for spiritual practice.

The teacher said that if you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear, so even if I don’t understand the deep meaning of those words and sentences for the time being, it forces me to read it carefully.

Read it over and over again until every word is seared into your mind.

It will never fade away.

the other side.

Once in the temple, Chen Yulou went straight into the room used for practice.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.

His mind moved.

The long jade box appeared in front of him out of thin air.

It has been nearly half a year since I entered the Cave Heaven Realm.

Practice every day and accumulate your knowledge.

Now he wanted to use this thousand-year-old precious medicine to try and see if he could evolve a trace of his soul in the cave.

If we can get to that point.

This trip to Dongting Lake was not in vain!
