Chapter 620: Chapter 620: I am Professional_1
Lü Zong’s condition had already been checked by Zi Ling, which is why Li Qing didn’t have him go to the hospital with Zi Ling.
After all, the injury wasn’t very serious, and there were no apparent external wounds, so there wasn’t any need to go to the hospital.
After getting up and moving around a bit, Lü Zong assessed his body’s condition and shook his head, saying, "I feel quite alright."
"Then let’s forget it. If you feel unwell, we’ll head to the hospital right away; the ambulance is still outside," Li Qing said.
Lü Zong shook his head, "Forget it, I’d rather not suffer through a hospital visit."
"As long as you’re fine, we should keep a low profile from now on," Li Qing couldn’t help but say again, "You’ve felt what our opponents are like this time, they’re no ordinary people, and there might be more to come."
After all, ordinary people don’t know the true wonders of the Solidifying Spirit Elixir.
Most would probably think like Lü Zong, believing it to be a miraculous medicine that improves ’that’ aspect of ability.
While that is indeed the most obvious benefit of the Solidifying Spirit Elixir, how could such a pill only improve one particular aspect?
The real power lies in its ability to enhance muscles and bones.
After all, it’s not easy to change a person’s physical quality.
But the Solidifying Spirit Elixir can!
Moreover, it can steadily enhance and even extend one’s lifespan.
Just the words "extend lifespan" alone would drive countless people mad with desire.
With these two aspects, coupled with its obvious powerful effect in ’that’ department, it’s no wonder it commands such high prices on the black market.
And it’s priceless at that.
Lü Zong nodded in agreement, "I’ve really learned my lesson this time. When I go back, I’ll think of a way to come up with a specific charter. We need to be formal and serious about our business!"
After saying that, he provocatively glanced at Wang Baichuan.
"As long as we do this right, I can stop all my other businesses. I’ll just be a honest alcohol seller and see how some people can investigate me. I don’t believe they can find any illegalities with me selling alcohol," Lü Zong said.
Wang Baichuan snorted lightly, ignoring Lü Zong.
Li Qing was speechless!
These two people, each more composed than the other, why do they get so competitive when put together?
"We will discuss this matter once we get back," Li Qing said when he saw that Lü Zong was alright, finally putting his mind at ease.
"But first, let’s see what’s behind this door; I’m really curious."
"Let’s open it," Wang Baichuan said eagerly, his hands rubbing together in anticipation. He was just as curious.
The last time he saw a tomb of such grand scale was during a trip visiting several of Emperor Huang’s Mausoleums.
However, the one before him had yet to be unearthed.
Li Qing and Wang Baichuan, one on each side, finally opened the great door.
Although it was somewhat strenuous, Li Qing managed to open a crack wide enough for a person to pass through.
But despite Wang Baichuan exerting all his strength, the door remained unmoved.
Seizing the opportunity, Lü Zong mocked, "Some people here, I tell you, when they talk to me, their jaw muscles are so strong I thought they could crush a door to smithereens. Turns out they’re all bark and no bite, all show and no go, can’t even open a single door."
"Officer Wang, did you grow all your strength in your jaws?"
"Shut your mouth!" Wang Baichuan, face red with frustration, shouted harshly.
Shisan hurried forward to give Wang Baichuan a hand, "This door must weigh at least a thousand kilograms. It’s actually quite reasonable that Officer Wang couldn’t open it."
"Kid, stop gilding the lily for him. Why was Qingzi able to open it so easily?" Lü Zong didn’t miss the opportunity to criticize Wang Baichuan, his words laden with sarcasm and contempt.
Wang Baichuan, panting heavily, snorted coldly, "How can you compare me with Qingzi? He could punch you into ashes, while I could only beat you half to death at most. Do you think that’s comparable?"
It was hard for Wang Baichuan to forget the two nights he spent out with Li Qing.
The strength he witnessed seemed to belong to something beyond human capability.
Moreover, it was said that Li Qing’s level of strength was merely that of a beginner.
People like Dian Chunqiu and Li Qing’s master, Xuan Chen Zhenren, were truly terrifying figures.
"Incredible, have you learned to spout nonsense just to save face now? Is this still the Officer Wang I know?" Lü Zong taunted, "I don’t know if Qingzi could truly reduce me to ashes, but you definitely couldn’t beat me half to death. If you don’t believe it, we can give it a try."
"You’re just ignorant!" Wang Baichuan huffed and walked towards the interior of the doorway.
What lay beyond this door was far more intriguing than bickering with Lü Zong.
By this time, Li Qing had already entered.
He stood there, dumbfounded by the grand and majestic scene before him. This was... a tomb chamber?!
It clearly looked like a grand hall, and by the looks of it, there seemed to be more beyond it.
It was just the tomb of a prince, yet it seemed to be more extravagant than some imperial mausoleums.
Wang Baichuan and Lü Zong, who had followed in after him, were also each stunned by the scene before them.
"Does this look like a grand hall for holding court?" Wang Baichuan murmured to himself.
He felt that his mind was overwhelmed, and even his breathing became a bit unstable.
Standing before such a grand hall, one felt insignificant.
They both felt this way, in reality and psychologically.
It was like how ordinary people in ancient times must feel when suddenly facing imperial power.
Pupu pupu...
Suddenly, the oil lamps around the hall began to light up one after another.
Wang Baichuan was startled and instinctively reached for his waist, adopting a defensive posture.
Li Qing glanced at Wang Baichuan and stopped him, "Don’t move rashly; it seems we’ve triggered some mechanism that lit these lamps. The tombs of ancient princes were very meticulously designed, with great attention to detail."
The oil lamps lit up one by one like dominos being toppled, quickly illuminating the entire hall as if it were daylight, and the objects behind the hall were vaguely visible.
Behind what seemed to be a screen crafted from an unknown material, there rested a huge stone sarcophagus, bound by four thick iron chains.
The sarcophagus was not placed on the ground but was suspended in midair.
Strangely, those chains looked loose, hardly appearing as though they were holding the sarcophagus at all.
"No wonder the Tomb Explorer Daoist found this place; there might be something unusual here. Everyone, be careful and don’t touch anything rashly," Li Qing said solemnly. The moment he saw that sarcophagus, he felt sure that it was related to cultivators.
The four chains looked more like decorations. Logically, the sarcophagus should have already fallen.
"Otherwise, I think we should find professionals to come here as soon as possible. We don’t understand any of this, and if we trigger a mechanism by mistake, it could be bad," Wang Baichuan suggested.
Li Qing, however, shook his head, "Under these circumstances, probably Shisan and I could be considered professionals."
"The professionals you’re talking about might preserve these relics to the greatest extent, but they can’t deal with the situation at hand and might even cause unnecessary casualties. We have to rely on ourselves."
