The third picture depicts the king's men trying to kill a large, dying snake, but the king, who is in the chariot, stops them and sends someone to save the snake.
The fourth picture shows the king and his entourage encountering a storm on a ship many years later. Just as the ship was about to capsize, a large snake swam out of the water, carrying a crystal-clear pearl in its mouth and presenting it to the king.
Several murals were destroyed, and the only one that survived was the king's wedding, in which the pearl was set on the queen's phoenix crown.
The murals that followed were also missing.
When everyone realized it wasn't some kind of martial arts manual, they left disappointed. However, they all kept an eye on the pure white, crystal-clear pearl in the mural. Even through the mural, it looked extraordinary; it might be some kind of treasure.
Zuan and his group were visibly shaken, all looking at Yu Yanluo: "Could it be that the thing the giant snake in the swamp mentioned that could help you break through is this pearl?"
Yu Yanluo was somewhat bewildered: "I don't know either. When I first saw this bead, I did feel a strange tremor in my heart, and I could feel something calling to me from the depths ahead."
"Could the giant snake in the swamp be the same one depicted in this mural?" Yan Xuehen had a guess.
Zuan shook his head: "It shouldn't be. Judging from the age of this ancient tomb, it must be very old. It's unlikely that the giant snake could have lived for so long."
Yun Jianyue smiled and said, "There's no use thinking so much. We'll know once we go in and take a look. It would be best if the giant snake outside was the one in the mural, so that Sister Yu could communicate with it amicably."
Just then, a cry of surprise came from ahead: "This is the Pill Cauldron Ginseng, along with Silver Thread Flower and Soul-Severing Nether Grass... I found these, don't try to take them from me!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than the sounds of fighting erupted.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Yun Jianyue's lips: "Money can move people's hearts. I didn't expect them to turn on each other so quickly."
"What are those things?" This was the first time Zuan had ever heard these names.
Yan Xuehen explained, "Silver Thread Flower and Soul-Severing Nether Grass are both top-grade materials for refining pills and are extremely rare. In particular, the Soul-Severing Nether Grass is very easy for many grandmasters to make mistakes when condensing their souls, resulting in failure or damage to their souls. However, the Soul-Severing Nether Grass can reconnect the remnants of the soul, making it a rare item that many grandmasters desperately want."
"The Dan Ding Bao Shen can even extend a person's lifespan. Depending on its quality, it can add 10 or even 100 years to one's lifespan. Of course, this kind of thing has no effect on those above the Earth Immortal level."
Zuan was taken aback: "Why?"
