Chapter 2060: Chapter 2064: The Secret of the Immortal King’s Tomb
"Wine?"
Qin Tian was taken aback.
The elder in black robes said, "You want to ask me questions, but without wine, what am I supposed to say?"
Qin Tian noticed the elder’s cheeks had a permanent redness, indicating this elder was likely a person who lived for wine.
Immediately, he took out a pouch of wine from his storage bag and handed it to the elder in black robes, saying, "Now can you speak, elder?"
"Just this little?" The elder in black robes looked at the pouch of wine, visibly unsatisfied.
"Elder, this pouch contains two pounds, I haven’t drunk it yet."
Qin Tian was shocked and thought, two pounds and you still think it’s not enough?
"Heh, two pounds... are you trying to fill my teeth gap?"
The elder in black robes was displeased, "If the old man had a two-pound-a-day drinking habit, would I need to ask you for wine? I’ve been here three days, brought a hundred pounds of wine, and drank it all..."
Hiss!
Upon hearing the elder’s words, Qin Tian inhaled sharply!
Three days and a hundred pounds of wine? You’re not just a drunk, you’re a wine barrel!
Seeing Qin Tian’s shocked expression, the elder in black robes, indifferent to everything, continued drinking the wine Qin Tian gave him, while continuing to ask Qin Tian for more: "Quickly now, do you have any more..."
"Elder, I’ll give you all my wine if you tell me everything you know, okay?"
"Oh, kid, you’re quite the negotiator, you give me a little wine, and I have to tell you everything?"
"That’s not what I mean, elder. How about this, as long as you tell me what you know, I’ll make sure you have wine for a lifetime, how’s that?"
"A lifetime of wine, can you really guarantee the old man a lifetime?"
The elder in black robes laughed, saying, "Quickly now, take out all the wine you have now, the old man has a craving... hurry up."
Qin Tian was helpless, needing something from him, so he could only take out all the wine from his storage bag.
Since Qin Tian doesn’t usually drink much, he only had five pouches in his storage bag, and they had been untouched for several years.
This time, he took them all out.
"Ten pounds... sigh, people here, how can you be so weak in drinking?"
The old man looked dissatisfied, pursing his lips: "Fine, fine, ten pounds are barely enough to relieve the old man’s craving, hmm, your wine is nice, really fragrant..."
Qin Tian watched the elder in black robes drink and asked, "Elder, do you know if there are treasures in the Immortal King’s Tomb?"
"Of course I know, it’s my martial uncle’s resting place, how could I not know?"
Shush!
The words of the elder in black robes instantly stunned Qin Tian; this Immortal King’s Tomb was actually this Taoist’s martial uncle’s resting place!?
"Taoist, may I ask your name?"
"Hehe, just call me Immortal Jiu."
"Immortal Jiu, who is your martial uncle, and why is he buried here?"
Qin Tian’s curiosity about this Immortal Jiu grew stronger.
He felt that Immortal Jiu and his martial uncle were likely not from the Spiritual Domain.
"My martial uncle was an outer elder of the Xuanyuan Sect, and I was an outer disciple. We had a good relationship, and he greatly helped me improve my cultivation, so after he passed away, I came here to guard his tomb without hesitation."
"Xuanyuan Sect..."
Qin Tian recalled the name of the sect, and in his impression, there was no such sect in the Spiritual Domain.
"Is the Xuanyuan Sect an Immortal Domain sect?" Qin Tian tentatively asked, knowing that outside the Spiritual Domain, there was another place called the Immortal Domain, where his mother might be! It’s a place of higher status than the Spiritual Domain!
"Of course."
Immortal Jiu was focused on drinking, instantly downing two pouches of the two-pound wine and belching, staring at Qin Tian, saying, "If my martial uncle were just a common outer elder of the Spiritual Domain’s sect, how could he attract the entire Spiritual Domain to come treasure hunting? How strange, why did the meteorite fall here, sigh, my martial uncle has been dead for decades and finally got disturbed..."
Immortal Jiu shook his head and continued drinking.
"Do you know what the treasure here is?" Qin Tian suppressed his shock and asked.
"No idea, I only know that it’s my martial uncle’s burial items, hmm, he was an Array Master, so when he foresaw his possible death, he built an elaborate tomb in this Feng Shui treasure of the Spiritual Domain."
Immortal Jiu reminisced, shaking his head: "My martial uncle was quite proud, hehe, he branded ’Immortal King’s Tomb’ all over the tomb gate, afraid nobody would know he was an Immortal King, sigh. Pity..."
"Pity what?" Qin Tian asked. "Since your martial uncle was an Immortal King, he must’ve been very powerful, right? How did he die, and even foresee his own death?"
"Immortal King... hmm, to me, very powerful, but to some people, just ordinary."
Immortal Jiu finished drinking the third pouch of wine, saying, "My master lost a duel at the Martial Arts Arena, so he died. It’s that simple, there’s no revenge because it was a fair duel, skills less than others."
"Why did your martial uncle duel with someone?"
"Because another outer elder of the Xuanyuan Sect said my martial uncle was ugly, saying he’d never find a woman in his life... and that person pursued my martial uncle’s unrequited love successfully, so..."
"That’s tragic."
Immortal Jiu hadn’t finished his sentence when Qin Tian smirked bitterly; he didn’t expect such straightforward people in the Immortal Domain.
"Yeah, my martial uncle was just too proud, secretly loving a lady elder from the Tianhua Sect for over forty years, only to... be preempted. He couldn’t take it, and wanted a duel. But we all knew, my martial uncle was very likely not to beat that elder..."
Immortal Jiu shook his head sighing: "Sigh, so they say, men, why get burdened by love, it’s really not worth it. Better to enjoy drinking and be carefree... if you really want a woman, spend a little money, they’re everywhere, hehe..."
Qin Tian was dumbfounded, this Immortal Jiu, his conversation was truly unrestrained.
"Immortal Jiu, so when you watch your martial uncle’s tomb being broken into, essentially grave robbing, you don’t stop them?" Qin Tian asked again.
"Can I even stop them?" Immortal Jiu said, "Everyone knows there’s Immortal Domain treasure here, stop one time, can’t stop a second or third, might as well, I’m lazy to stop it, let them take all the treasures, the Immortal King’s Tomb’s destruction means I don’t have to guard the tomb, I can happily go drink..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian gave Immortal Jiu a thumbs up: "Elder, your heart is truly broad, even when his uncle’s tomb was raided, you remain calm and composed, junior admires you!"
"If you admire me, get me more wine." Immortal Jiu had already finished the fourth pouch of wine.
"No problem," Qin Tian agreed straightforwardly, asking, "But you have to first tell me where your uncle’s burial treasure is hidden, if you can help me obtain the treasure, I’ll make sure you won’t ever lack wine in your life, I’ll stand by my word!"
