Not long after Qin Xin left the alchemy pavilion.
A group of martial artists also arrived here. Looking at the ruined medicinal field, one of them couldn't help but curse.
Because when martial artists collect spiritual herbs, they usually leave the roots behind so that they can collect them again after a few years.
However, the person harvesting the medicinal herbs in this field used extremely crude methods, uprooting all the herbs.
After searching for a long time, the group only found a few overlooked medicinal herbs.
Upon entering the alchemy pavilion, the group was initially stunned by the dazzling array of medicine bottles before them. However, they were quite helpless when they discovered that all the spiritual herbs inside had turned into powder.
After searching unsuccessfully, the group left and began searching other parts of the mausoleum palace.
On the other hand, Qin Xin, the culprit who destroyed that medicinal field, also got lost in this huge mausoleum palace and felt some regret in his heart.
If he were to recognize Wen Lan and the others from the Spirit Beast Sect, it would likely save him a lot of unnecessary travel and allow him to find the location of the inner chamber of the tomb sooner.
This is mainly because many places in this mausoleum palace have been completely looted by the visiting martial artists. They are practically clean, almost as if they dismantled and packed up the buildings inside the palace to take away.
Along the way, Qin Xin discovered that the buildings of these palaces were inlaid with a lot of fluorite and other gemstones, and there were even a lot of materials for refining spiritual weapons.
He originally intended to dismantle them all, but he could feel the repulsion from the array within the mausoleum palace. In order not to be driven out, Qin Xin had no choice but to give up.
After searching unsuccessfully, Qin Xin continued deeper into the mausoleum palace.
In a large hall, Qin Xin discovered many skeletons sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Judging from the shape of these bones, they all seem to have died in an instant, without even having time to react.
Some of the bones were scattered on the ground. Although they still retained their shape, they had all weathered into powder. If you gently crushed them, they would turn into powder completely.
Qin Xin looked around and found that the skeleton sitting at the top of the group showed no signs of weathering, and even had traces of spiritual energy remaining on it.
"It seems that the martial artist whose skeleton was in this body had already reached the Dharma Aspect Realm in life, and had crossed the shackles of life. That's why the skeleton has not been eaten away even after so many years."
Qin Xin sized him up, a flicker of emotion emanating from his eyes.
However, from the seated posture of this skeleton, Qin Xin could tell that there should have been something between the palms of this person's hands, but now it seemed empty.
It was obvious that the thing in this person's hand had already been taken away.
Qin Xin used his spiritual sense to scan the hall, but found nothing else.
He probably guessed that this place was where the disciples of the Old Man of the Fire of the Si Fire once cultivated. Apart from the scattered bones, there was nothing else.
Qin Xin turned and left the hall. However, after he left, the skeleton that had been sitting cross-legged moved slightly. It was unclear whether this was due to the long-term weathering and detachment of the bones or some other reason.
Qin Xin was completely unaware of all of this.
As they continued their journey, Qin Xin discovered numerous cultivated medicinal fields and residences for disciples along the way.
The places had already been looted by the martial artists who had arrived earlier. Moreover, most of the slightly valuable spiritual herbs in these medicinal fields had been taken away, leaving only some less valuable ones and the roots of some spiritual herbs. Qin Xin was too lazy to waste time collecting them, since after a while, a new spiritual herb could grow from the roots of these herbs.
Qin Xin did not linger at all and continued walking deeper into the mausoleum palace.
He stopped when he came to a valuable tower.
The fire elemental aura here is extremely strong, as if there is magma beneath this tower.
After Qin Xin stepped inside, he saw some rogue cultivators searching for things in the surrounding area.
After noticing Qin Xin's arrival, the rogue cultivators glanced at him but didn't see anything valuable, so they ignored him.
Qin Xin naturally thought this was the best course of action, as fighting these people would inevitably cause some trouble.
Qin Xin glanced around and discovered that in the very center of the tower, there was indeed magma, which was constantly churning and emitting a strong fire-attribute aura.
There seems to be an array within this entire Pill Tower, constantly absorbing the fire-attribute energy from the magma and then injecting it into the surrounding forging furnaces.
Strangely, the formation here seems to operate on its own. As long as the materials for refining spiritual weapons are thrown into the forging furnace, a spiritual weapon can be forged.
Listen to the clanging sounds emanating from the surroundings, and the scattered cultivators waiting before the forge.
Qin Xin also knew that they were waiting here to put some of the refining materials they had collected into the forging furnace, waiting to refine a spiritual weapon.
After all, in this Central Plains region, the one with considerable expertise in crafting is the Weapon Martial Sect.
However, the crafting of spiritual weapons by the Qiwu Sect usually requires extremely high rewards, which ordinary martial artists simply cannot afford. Yet, in the tomb of the Old Man of Si Huo, there is such a formation for crafting spiritual weapons. If it could be taken out, it would be a continuous source of spirit stones.
After scanning the surroundings, Qin Xin discovered that the formation was integrated with the entire building, and if it were removed, it would likely lose its function.
After asking Danqing in his heart and learning that the formation could not be taken away, Qin Xin finally gave up hope.
"Buzz!"
With a slight tremor, Qin Xin looked in the direction of the sound.
Just then, they saw a magical weapon resembling a large sword shoot out from a forging furnace. The rogue cultivator standing beside them grabbed it and immediately cut his fingertip, dripping blood to signify its ownership.
Qin Xin also took a look and found that the spiritual weapon was among the top-grade fifth-rank spiritual weapons. If it were auctioned, it would probably cost a hundred high-grade spirit stones to buy.
After collecting the spiritual artifact, the rogue cultivator didn't linger and immediately left the tower.
However, just as the rogue cultivator left, several other people exchanged a glance with him and immediately followed him.
Qin Xin was also aware of the purpose of these people. After all, murder and robbery were very common in this mausoleum palace. This was also the main reason why many martial artists died every time the tomb of the Old Man of Si Huo was opened.
