Chapter 27
: Treasure Hunting - The Boss Has Been Unearthed!
They took out a rope from the storage bag and used it to pull themselves down to the inner chamber of the tomb.
Looking around, besides some daily necessities, there were only a few boxes placed on either side.
The box bore the last desperate plea of the cunning old fox: "That's all, don't go any further!"
Opening the knee-high box, the sight of a box full of low-grade spirit stones immediately dazzled Su Yi's eyes.
With a blank expression, Su Yi closed the box, appearing calm, but her slightly trembling body betrayed her excitement.
We're rich! We're rich!
The low-grade spirit stones in just this one box, when converted into experience points, are enough for me to repeatedly break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining!
She truly deserves the title of "Lucky Koi Queen"!
She actually found this serendipitous encounter by chance!
Su Yi was so excited she was shaking, but she suppressed her excitement and opened the other box.
The other boxes mostly contained pills like Gathering Yuan Pills, as well as a few weapons and armor.
It can't even be considered equipment; it's just a mortal weapon made from some materials used in cultivation.
Because none of the equipment slots in Su Yi's system panel were triggered!
I thought the first box was the beginning, but it turned out to be the peak.
"It's all mine! It's all mine, I'm the one who discovered this place!" Ling Yao stood protectively in front of the box like a little hen.
Su Yi was furious. "I didn't even eat alone, and you're eating alone with me!"
Under Su Yi's persuasive and emotional appeals, and her threat of a slap on the elbow, Ling Yao finally reluctantly agreed to split the profits 50/50 between the two of them.
"One for you, one for me! One for me, one for you!"
"One for you, one for me, one for me, one for me, and one for you!"
Under Ling Yao's watchful gaze, Su Yi, who had initially been obediently assigning tasks, began to misbehave.
Taking advantage of the fact that the female emperor, who was a body cultivator, was not very bright, Su Yi deliberately shouted the wrong slogan when assigning tasks, and ended up with a third more than the other party.
Because Su Yi shouted very quickly, and at the beginning when she was focused, Su Yi did not do anything reckless, so Ling Yao did not suspect anything.
Later, after Ling Yao's attention was diverted, Su Yi completely let loose.
So when it came to the final distribution, Ling Yao felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
The two, having reaped a bountiful harvest, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as they looked at the spirit stones in their storage bags.
What about Xiao Tian?
As the one who opened up the tunnel, Xiao Tian considered those mortal weapons and broken items as payment for his labor.
After all, he was the one who left first; that's how cruel the cultivation world is.
After taking ninety-nine steps, just one step away from turning back would have meant all my efforts were in vain.
Giving him a small fee for his services was already considered a great act of kindness from the two of them.
After looting the spirit stones, Su Yi also put the pills and rare herbs that Ling Yao didn't want into his storage bag.
Even a small mosquito bite is still meat; being thrifty and managing the household well is a good habit of Su Yi's.
After ransacking the central room, the two men set their sights on the stone door to the back room.
There was also a coffin board there with the words "Opening the coffin will cause the whole family to die" written on it.
The old sly bastard who can write such a slogan must have something good hidden in his coffin!
Su Yi and Ling Yao walked to the stone gate without saying a word.
The entire cave is divided into three chambers by two huge stone slabs, with stone doors on the slabs.
Logically, it should be solved one by one.
But Su Yi, who had already been enlightened, was too lazy to follow the proper steps to unlock the mechanism on the stone door of the back chamber.
Just as Su Yi was thinking of simply climbing over the wall, a delicate shout came from behind her.
Ling Yao shattered the stone door with a single punch!
Looking at the exposed coffin amidst the flying rubble, Su Yi shrugged. Simple and straightforward, but it saved him the trouble of climbing over the wall.
The two entered the back room, where a lone coffin stood, with the following inscription on its lid:
"May the whole family of anyone who opens the coffin die!"
"I am an orphan; this opportunity was left to me by an elder!"
Ling Yao glared at him and immediately retorted, "Bullshit! I'd like to see if he can curse me to death!"
Before Su Yi could even speak, Ling Yao punched the coffin lid off this cunning old man.
Su Yi stroked her chin, looking at Ling Yao who had a smug expression.
After the empress returned to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, her brothers, who were vying for the throne, either died or were crippled.
The old emperor died less than two years later.
I have to say, this coffin lid is something else!
But what if you were to say that there was a curse on the coffin lid that affected Ling Yao?
Su Yi would never believe that a curse from a cultivator who died without leaving a name could be completely undetectable to the entire civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even if she's not the best, she's still a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are countless elders and other high-ranking officials in the Great Zhou court.
How could it be cursed by a nobody cultivator who died so quietly?
All I can say is that fate has its own plan!
After the coffin lid was knocked away, Ling Yao landed directly on the coffin, wanting to see what treasures were hidden inside.
This glance was all it took; suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from the coffin and grabbed at Ling Yao!
It's come back to life!
Ling Yao was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she forgot to dodge for a moment.
Before the hand that suddenly reached out from the coffin could grab Ling Yao, Su Yi used the same trick again, pulling Ling Yao back with a water whip.
Click click click!
A sound came from inside the coffin, and a pair of hands, supporting themselves on both sides of the coffin, slowly sat up.
A sparse, white-haired, and shriveled mummy sat up from the coffin.
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! The tomb raider has unearthed the boss!
The dried corpse shook its head slightly before standing up and stomping its foot hard on the ground.
The powerful surge of true energy swept across the entire back room, instantly blasting the surrounding coffin lids into fragments.
Su Yi's pupils contracted, and she pulled Ling Yao back repeatedly, retreating directly into the central room.
"Damn it, that old bastard actually turned himself into a puppet! He deliberately tricked us into coming in last!"
If a mere Qi wave possesses such power, even if one is not at the Foundation Establishment stage, one must at least be at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining!
"roar!"
The dried-up corpse, now a puppet, roared to the sky, seemingly venting its dissatisfaction with the intruders.
The sound, carrying with it powerful true energy, instantly reverberated throughout the entire tomb chamber.
Su Yi and Ling Yao instantly felt dizzy and their bodies stiffened!
This mummified corpse still possesses the skills it had in life!
Su Yi pulled Ling Yao to the stone door of the central room, behind which was the front room.
In a moment of quick thinking, Su Yi shouted to Ling Yao, "Quickly, destroy the door and release those four puppets!"
At that moment, Ling Yao, whose blood and qi were churning from the sound waves, instantly understood Su Yi's plan.
They wanted to lure the puppet in the front room into entanglement with the dried corpse!
Ling Yao held back, smashing the stone door of the central chamber with a single punch, and the two quickly walked inside.
The humanoid puppet guarding the front room was instantly activated and attacked Su Yi and her companion.
Compared to the dry corpse, which wasn't very strong, at least Su Yi and Ling Yao were able to handle the attacks of the four puppets with ease.
They lured the four puppets into the central room, only to run into the boss, the dried corpse, who was rushing in from the back room.
The enraged corpse did not distinguish between friend and foe. Its true energy flowed through its hands, which had transformed into sharp claws, and it smashed a puppet to pieces with a single claw!
Such terrifying power! The true energy could almost condense into claw-like shadows!
After looting everything, Su Yi just wanted to leave as quickly as possible, and hurriedly searched for the rope she had used to get down.
"Holy crap, where's the rope?" Su Yi turned around a few times, completely bewildered, but couldn't find the rope anywhere.
Ling Yao, who was being pulled along by Su Yi, spoke weakly:
"Um... I've put that rope away!"
Looking around, besides some daily necessities, there were only a few boxes placed on either side.
The box bore the last desperate plea of the cunning old fox: "That's all, don't go any further!"
Opening the knee-high box, the sight of a box full of low-grade spirit stones immediately dazzled Su Yi's eyes.
