Chapter 2054: Chapter 2058: Immortal King’s Tomb
"This should be the tomb of a powerful entity."
Qin Tian felt the eerie aura emanating from the underground tomb, took a deep breath, and slightly closed his eyes.
He had previously entered the Ghost King Tomb and gained immensely from it. This time, coming to the Immortal King’s Tomb, was likely not going to be simple.
"Let’s go."
Without hesitation, Qin Tian led Chen Ping and another directly inside.
The entrance was pitch black, but after walking in about a dozen meters, the light suddenly brightened. The passage widened as they walked until they entered a dim, spacious chamber.
Despite calling it a chamber, the large room had four exits connecting to the outside.
Inside the chamber, neatly placed, were coffins!
Qin Tian counted them; there were forty-nine coffins in total in the chamber!
Each coffin was crafted from Gold, appearing extremely mysterious!
"Why are there so many coffins here... Are they all filled with the dead?"
As a woman, Su Meng felt a tinge of fear rising in her heart.
"Whatever’s inside, we’ll know once we open one and take a look."
At this moment, Chen Ping’s courage rose.
However, Qin Tian stopped him and said softly, "In such an ancient tomb, it’s best not to disturb anything if possible. Do not act rashly; otherwise, danger might arise."
Chen Ping said, "So frightening? Even if someone were inside, they should already be dead, right?"
Although he said this, Chen Ping just glanced at these Golden coffins without touching them, then smirked, "If we took all this Gold, it should exchange for a lot of Spirit Stones, right?"
Qin Tian did not speak, focusing his gaze around as he circled the chamber inspecting the coffins.
Chen Ping and Su Meng knew Qin Tian was looking for mechanisms or where the treasures might be, so they joined in the search.
The first chamber contained nothing aside from coffins.
They moved from the second to the third chamber, and they didn’t know how many chambers were interconnected, but each one contained exactly the same forty-nine coffins!
The trio checked four chambers without any success.
"Oh, Lin Senior Brother, this room seems different."
Finally, in another room, Chen Ping discovered something different from the previous four rooms.
In the chamber, although there were still forty-nine coffins, at the forefront of the chamber hung a painting on the wall. The painting depicted a rhinoceros-like black beast.
Beneath this painting was a wooden table, with offerings of incense and candles, the incense still wafting smoke, and the candles still burning, the whole room crafted to resemble a shrine.
"Could someone have come here? The candles are still lit..."
Su Meng curiously asked.
The three of them simultaneously walked towards the painting.
"No one could have come here; look at the dust on the ground. Apart from our footprints, there are no others," Qin Tian observed carefully and said softly.
Chen Ping was instantly shocked: "Then... then... how are these candles still burning? Damn... is there a ghost?"
"What’s there to fear? We’re all seeking Immortality through cultivation; even if there are ghosts, we shouldn’t be afraid."
Su Meng pursed her lips. She wanted to ask Qin Tian what to do next but saw Qin Tian staring at the painting, then went up to gently move the painting aside.
"Lin Senior Brother, what did you find?" Su Meng asked softly.
"This should be a mechanism. Be prepared; I’m going to try it..."
After moving the painting aside, Qin Tian saw a protruding Fine Steel ring on the wall, able to be rotated. He instinctively knew this might be a mechanism.
As he spoke, he began to turn the ring.
Rumble...
As he rotated the ring, suddenly the wall where the painting hung slowly moved aside, revealing another chamber in the room!
"There really is a mechanism!"
Seeing this, Chen Ping was instantly delighted.
In such a mysterious place, mechanisms typically mean one of two things: danger or treasure.
And since Qin Tian’s mechanism had opened without danger, it meant that the small chamber must contain treasure!
The trio raised their vigilance to the highest level and slowly walked into the small chamber.
"Wow... Three chests, could they be three treasures?"
As soon as the trio entered, they saw the most conspicuous spot in the small chamber, where three chests were placed. Chen Ping directly cheered, "Three chests, three of us, one each, perfect, haha... Indeed, following Lin Senior Brother, luck is good, there’s meat to eat."
Qin Tian did not say anything, walked up, and slowly opened one of the chests. Inside was a mysterious potion bottle.
"Three-soul Primordial Pill!?"
As soon as Qin Tian picked up the bottle, Su Meng and Chen Ping, who saw the engraving on the bottle, exclaimed almost in unison!
Qin Tian was stunned and turned to Su Meng, "What’s a Three-soul Primordial Pill?"
"Lin Senior Brother, you don’t know?"
Chen Ping responded first, "This is a top-tier Immortal Pill, yes, an Immortal Pill, not an elixir... Such a pill can only be consumed by Immortality Cultivators who have reached the Late Stage of the Small Immortal Realm. It’s said that any Immortality Cultivator below the Flying Immortal Realm, once taking it, will surely advance a minor level within a month! This is practically a Supreme Elixir! Lin Senior Brother... Check how many are there..."
Qin Tian lifted the bottle to look, "One."
Su Meng and Chen Ping’s glowing eyes instantly dimmed.
They knew Qin Tian would definitely not give them this pill.
"Our grandmaster once took a Three-soul Primordial Pill. Within a month, their cultivation advanced from the Middle Stage of the Great Immortal Realm to the Late Stage. Tsk tsk, that was decades ago. It’s said our Spiritual Domain’s environment can’t produce such Three-soul Primordial Pills... truly it’s something from beyond the heavens."
Su Meng spoke as if enchanted.
Qin Tian curiously asked, "Then, if a person had about ten Three-soul Primordial Pills and took them, wouldn’t their cultivation skyrocket?"
"Impossible..."
Su Meng and Chen Ping both shook their heads.
Chen Ping laughed, "Firstly, I haven’t heard of anyone having more than one Three-soul Primordial Pill. Just finding one is already incredibly rare... Besides, a person can only take one Three-soul Primordial Pill. Taking a second one reportedly has no effect and can even cause Deviation, so... Lin Senior Brother, what you said is simply impossible."
While Chen Ping was speaking, Qin Tian turned to look at the second chest and said, "Looks like this is the top-tier treasure. Don’t rush; let me see what’s inside the second chest..."
