Qi Zhiheng did not make any rash moves. The person sitting cross-legged in the room showed no signs of life: "He shouldn't be alive. I can't sense any life force."

"Won't leaving this body here pose any threat to us?" Yang Yitian asked him from the doorway.

Qi Zhiheng shook his head and said, "I don't think the danger is in these rooms, otherwise we would have been attacked when we entered them."

“Spirit-devouring worms are also a danger,” Yang Yitian retorted.

Qi Zhiheng extended his soul power into the room, probing the situation inside while replying to Yang Yitian: "The spirit-devouring worms were hatched later, not part of the initial arrangement."

Yang Yitian thought about it and it seemed that there was some truth to it. After a moment of reflection, he raised another question: "There is someone in this room. Maybe this person is very dangerous."

"There was one in the previous room too." Qi Zhiheng was basically certain that there were no obvious traps in this room, but if it was a trigger mechanism, then there was nothing he could do.

Yang Yitian remembered the skeleton that had been gnawed away when he fell from the ceiling, and fell silent. Qi Zhiheng was right: "I think there might be something wrong with this corpse. Maybe it was gnawed into bones that prevented it from harming people."

Thinking about it, there was actually some truth to it. Qi Zhiheng said, "What you said isn't impossible. Let's go down and take a look. We'll see what happens then."

Yang Yitian still stepped inside.

Just then, the corpse sitting cross-legged in the center of the room suddenly opened its eyes the instant the two people entered the room.

Startled by the appearance of a resurrected corpse, Yang Yitian took a step back: "Alive?!"

Qi Zhiheng was also somewhat surprised. Unlike Yang Yitian, who jumped back outside the door with both feet, he was not frightened by the sudden opening of his eyes and changed his original plan. Instead, he remained motionless.

After waiting for several dozen seconds, the person who had opened their eyes did not make any further movements, and only then did Yang Yitian step back.

"This is terrifying! Is it a living person or a dead person?" Yang Yitian secretly transmitted his voice to Qi Zhiheng.

Qi Zhiheng was also a little puzzled. This person clearly had no life force left, so it was too strange that he could still keep his eyes open.

Qi Zhiheng carefully observed the man's eyes, and after confirming that he was indeed not making any other movements, he went to another place.

The contents of this room are different from the first room, which was full of insects. Judging from the surrounding layout, this should be an alchemy room.

The two split up to search for anything useful. There were several rows of medicine cabinets on the wall of the room. Qi Zhiheng opened one and found quite a few jade bottles inside. Yang Yitian also found these jade bottles while searching, with the names of various medicines labeled on them.

Yang Yitian said excitedly, "So many jade bottles, how many pills must be inside!"

Qi Zhiheng also thought of this, and carefully opened one of the bottles to check the pills inside. When a grayish-white pill was poured out, he felt a little disappointed.

Yang Yitian had never seen a pill of this color before, and couldn't help but be curious: "What kind of pill is this? The color is quite peculiar."

Qi Zhiheng poured the pills back into the jade bottle and said with little interest, "These are just ordinary pills. The reason the color is wrong is because the medicinal effects have been lost."

"Can the medicinal effects of a pill be lost?" Yang Yitian opened the jade bottle in his hand and poured out a pill. Sure enough, it was the same as the one Qi Zhiheng had just poured out, appearing grayish-white. He was still unwilling to give up and poured out a few more, but the color was still grayish-white.

Qi Zhiheng replied, "Even the best pills have a limited lifespan. High-quality pills can be stored for a longer time. These pills have been here for who knows how many years, so it's normal for them to become ineffective."

After hearing the explanation, Yang Yitian said, "It seems that even the pills in the cultivation world have an expiration date."

"Actually, these jade bottles are quite nice. Even though we've run out of pills, we can keep the jade bottles." Yang Yitian picked up a jade bottle and examined it.

Qi Zhiheng was speechless for a moment, then complained, "Even a goose wouldn't pluck a feather from a passing goose, you'd pluck even the downy feathers..."

Yang Yitian felt a little embarrassed by what was said: "Well, we can't have come all this way for nothing, can we? Even just taking a jade bottle would be fine!"

Qi Zhiheng retorted, "Then you can just take a jade bottle."

Yang Yitian: "...Do you have to be so stingy?"

"Alright." Qi Zhiheng interrupted his plucking. "Let's check all these bottles first. Maybe we'll find something different."

Qi Zhiheng first checked the pill cabinet, and without a doubt, all the pills inside had already expired.

After searching for a while, Yang Yitian lost interest and simply squatted down to watch Qi Zhiheng rummage through the entire medicine cabinet himself.

After discussing and searching, Qi Zhiheng finally gave up. All the pills in the room had indeed become ineffective. There were at least a thousand bottles of pills here. Most importantly, Qi Zhiheng also found several bottles of level four pills. You have to know that level four pills are suitable for Nascent Soul stage cultivators. These days, medicinal herbs are hard to find. Even if Qi Zhiheng could refine level four pills, it would only be possible if he had access to spiritual herbs.

At most, Qi Zhiheng could only gather some spiritual herbs from the front bridge. He was powerless to help with anything else. Planting level four spiritual herbs was not a simple matter. Even if Qi Zhiheng planted level four spiritual herbs in his space, the slow growth rate could not be saved even by the talisman array that altered the flow of time. This was because the planting site of these spiritual herbs required a large amount of spiritual energy to be absorbed. Without spiritual energy, no matter how long it took, the effect would be very small.

After walking around the house, one of them turned his attention to the corpse. The clothes that hadn't decomposed after all these years must be a treasure!

Yang Yitian did have a slight urge to strip the other person of their clothes, but he didn't have the courage. This corpse was rather eerie; it was best not to touch it if possible. Who knew what would happen if he touched the corpse and something like what happened to Sheng Mingyue? It was better to be on the safe side.

Before leaving, Qi Zhiheng pulled Yang Yitian to the corpse.

Yang Yitian was puzzled. Could it be that Qi Zhiheng had finally decided to strip the precious clothes off this corpse?

Qi Zhiheng pulled Yang Yitian down to kneel: "Give this senior three kowtows."

Yang Yitian didn't know why he did this, but he still cooperated.

The two kowtowed three times. Just as they were about to get up and leave, two beams of light shot out from the eyes of the corpse in front of them, entering Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian respectively. The light orb that entered Qi Zhiheng's body quickly succeeded, but the light sphere that entered Yang Yitian's body was repelled. After spinning around once, it entered Qi Zhiheng's body again.

Qi Zhiheng felt as if a huge amount of information had been crammed into his mind, some basic and some profound, all of which was knowledge about alchemy!

Fortunately, much of the knowledge contained here was something Qi Zhiheng had already learned before, so he didn't experience much difficulty digesting it. Although the process was somewhat painful, it made up for many of his shortcomings in alchemy. Although he had many books on alchemy, it was impossible for him to read them all. These basic books, however, solidified his foundation.

In addition, Qi Zhiheng discovered another thing that had entered his body. It was a fragment floating above his golden core.

Qi Zhiheng frowned. Although the fragment did not cause him much discomfort, having such an unknown object on his body was still unsettling.

Qi Zhiheng tried to move the fragment with his spiritual power, but it had no effect on him. He tried to remove the fragment, but that also ended in vain.

Yang Yitian looked at Qi Zhiheng, who was standing to the side with his eyes closed. Qi Zhiheng's face and body were soaked with sweat. This sweat was because Qi Zhiheng was absorbing too much knowledge, which made his head ache.

Yang Yitian waited quietly, and Qi Zhiheng finally opened his eyes the next day. It turned out that the best thing here was the corpse. As long as someone showed respect and kowtowed, the alchemy inheritance sealed by the master would be treated as a piece of knowledge and enter their mind.

"The items are nice, let's go check out the next room!" Qi Zhiheng pulled Yang Yitian up, eager to see the items in the other rooms.

After the artifact was passed on, the corpse's eyes closed again.

After Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian left the room, the door closed automatically. When Qi Zhiheng tried to open it again, he couldn't.

"It seems we won't be able to get through this door next time," Qi Zhiheng sighed, then pulled Yang Yitian away without hesitation.

The two discussed the situation just now. From the moment the ball of light rejected Yang Yitian and chose him, they could roughly guess that this inheritance was not something that just anyone could accept. It seemed unlikely that Yang Yitian, a talisman cultivator, would not take on the responsibility of inheriting the legacy.

After the two finished speaking, they arrived at the door of the first room. Qi Zhiheng pushed the door open, and similar to the previous room, there was a person sitting cross-legged in the center of the room, who was said to be a corpse.

The moment they stepped through the door, the corpse opened its eyes, just like last time. The two people looked different, but their clothes were the same, so it could be guessed that the two ninjas were from the same sect.

Qi Zhiheng wasn't particularly concerned about this. He first looked around and found a lot of books, which seemed to contain materials related to beast taming.

Since there was a group of spirit-devouring insects in Qi Zhiheng City, these scribes might be useful, so he quickly found some and wrote them down.
