Qin Xin was among a group of independent cultivators.
Hearing the conversation of this group, they also learned the whereabouts of the seven key fragments in the inner chamber of the Old Man of the Fire.
The Murong clan of Chiling City already had one key fragment, and with the additional fragments they acquired at the auction, they had two key fragments. However, in order to curry favor with the Xuantian Sword Sect, they gave one of the fragments to them.
The Zhou and Li clans of Chiling City each have their own territory.
As for the Spirit Beast Sect, it was precisely because they obtained this key fragment that they came to the territory of the Heavenly Profound Sect, and they also informed the Heavenly Profound Sect in advance.
Therefore, after arriving in Chiling City, the Zhou and Li clans immediately joined forces with the Spirit Beast Sect, otherwise the good things in the tomb of the Old Man of Si Huo would have been taken by the Murong clan and the Xuantian Sword Sect.
Now that they have joined forces, the strength of the two sides is evenly matched, and they can restrain each other in the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire.
These two lineups alone occupy five key fragments. As for the other two, one of them is in the hands of a family in the Tianxuan Sect territory, and many people don't know about the last one.
Of course, many people speculate that the piece was in the hands of a rogue cultivator.
If it were in the hands of a family, they would have already spread the word, since only this key fragment could serve as proof of entry into the inner chamber.
To prevent unknown individuals from taking advantage of the treasures inside the tomb, the families who possessed the key fragments had already agreed on the rules for entering the inner chamber.
Any family that possesses this key fragment can lead three people into the inner chamber to search for treasures.
Qin Xin doesn't have the key fragment in his possession right now, so entering the inner room is proving to be a bit of a hassle.
However, he had already made plans. He already had grudges against the people of the Xuantian Sword Sect, and the Murong family of Chiling City was no good either. Colluding with outside forces to steal the key fragments from them would be considered "eliminating a scourge for the people."
If he couldn't seize it, Qin Xin planned to contact the Spirit Beast Sect again to see if he could get a chance to enter the inner chamber of the Old Man of the Fire.
Of course, all of this will have to wait until the tomb is opened.
"Alas! The altar has moved! The tomb passage is about to open!"
Suddenly a voice rang out, causing a commotion among the warriors around the altar.
After all, the good things in this tomb are limited, so naturally those who enter first will get them first. In no time, many people began to gather towards the top of the altar.
However, deterred by the presence of several major forces ahead, this group of rogue cultivators dared not approach too far forward.
For a time, some conflicts arose among the independent cultivators due to their positioning, but these were only verbal altercations.
They also knew that if they mobilized their Yuan energy and affected the operation of the formation on the altar, causing the passage to be blocked, they would probably be blasted into dust by a group of angry warriors.
As the array above the altar began to operate, Qin Xin looked up with curiosity.
He discovered that as the surrounding spiritual energy continued to converge on the altar, the array patterns on the altar were slowly lit up, creating a very special connection with the array protecting the tomb.
As the altar slowly rose, the tomb's array also slowly opened.
A group of martial artists rushed in immediately.
As for those martial artists whose strength exceeds the Void Core Realm, they are also unable to enter due to the repulsion of the formation on the altar. At this time, they can only guard around the altar and wait for their family or sect disciples to come out.
Before following a group of rogue cultivators into the tomb, Qin Xin glanced at Gongsun Li.
Gongsun Li seemed to sense a familiar aura as well, and looked up at the altar as if searching for something.
At this moment, Qin Xin had already entered the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire through the passage opened by the altar.
~~~~~~
The tomb of the Old Man of the Fire Snake is lush with vegetation, appearing peaceful and serene.
After passing through the passage, Qin Xin was immediately taken to a dense forest inside the mausoleum.
Qin Xin sensed something different here. The space here was much less stable than the outside world. No wonder the formation refused entry to experts above the Void Core Realm; otherwise, the space here would probably have collapsed.
Moreover, Qin Xin was able to sense the fire-attribute energy floating in this space very well.
However, unlike flames that can burn everything, this flame seems to nurture the growth of the surrounding vegetation, which is why the vegetation here is so lush.
It can be said that this flame is very similar to the life-giving fire of Danqing, but it does not have the ability to infuse plants with spiritual energy like the life-giving fire.
"This Old Man of the Fire of the Si Fire seems to be extremely extraordinary. He has already begun to mobilize the laws of heaven and earth and can even integrate them into this domain space. He must have already entered the Heavenly Profound Realm. However, a Heavenly Profound Realm expert on this continent can be said to be able to become a dominant force, possessing a lifespan of nearly a thousand years. So why did he perish?" Danqing's somewhat puzzled voice also rang in Qin Xin's mind.
Upon hearing Danqing's assessment, Qin Xin was surprised to find that the old man of the Si Huo was actually a Heavenly Profound Realm expert. However, his first thought was that there must be many good things in this tomb.
They immediately began a thorough search of the surrounding area.
During the search, Qin Xin also encountered several level-four demonic beasts. However, these four demonic beasts all seemed to be of the fire attribute, and it seemed that they were born on their own because the fire attribute within this domain space was extremely dense.
So after Qin Xin wielded the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword to kill these fire beasts, they instantly dissipated, and all their spiritual power was reintegrated into this domain space.
Qin Xin was also somewhat amazed by this scene.
However, Qin Xin also gained a lot of benefits after killing these demonic beasts. There were many high-grade spiritual herbs in this dense forest, growing very densely, as if they were planted by humans.
Qin Xin naturally didn't hold back and put them all into the mysterious fragment space. Although many of them were not yet mature, the planting matters were all handed over to Dan Qing.
This drew a barrage of curses from Danqing.
The rapid growth of the large tree within the mysterious fragment of the map seems to be constantly expanding the space within it, causing Danqing some concern that it might burst the map.
However, the tree grows very slowly, but Qin Xin is not worried about it. In any case, the spiritual herbs planted around the tree will grow very quickly and have more potent medicinal properties.
Soon, Qin Xin had acquired all the high-quality medicinal herbs in the dense forest.
As for the ordinary spiritual teas here, Qin Xin didn't even bother to take them.
Previously, Yun Li, the vice dean of the Dan Academy of Tuocang Mountain, had told Qin Xin that there were Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves here, and a single leaf could be exchanged for a high-grade spirit stone.
