Zuan was somewhat surprised. He had previously studied "The Essence of Dripping Heaven" and knew that most emperors and generals focused on the terrain when looking at feng shui. But the owner of this place was actually a astrologer? His level had suddenly risen to a higher level.
I don't know how they created the starry sky above; it feels like I'm in a science fiction scene.
Zhao Hao quickly shifted his attention from the top of his head to the bronze coffin. Historical experience shows that the tomb owner often put his most precious things into the coffin to be buried with him.
Qiu Honglei looked around and said, "It's strange that there are no burial objects nearby."
Generally, tombs are filled with many things used by the deceased during their lifetime, as well as various burial objects. However, apart from the coffin, there were not a single burial object in this tomb, making it cleaner than if tomb raiders had visited it dozens of times—after all, tomb raiders eventually had some unwanted items left on the ground.
She even suspected that since the tomb door hadn't been locked before, someone might have come here earlier and emptied everything.
Jing Teng replied, "The Immortal Lord is not really dead. This is just the location of his remains, so it's normal that there are no burial objects here."
Zuan was puzzled. What exactly was this remains?
A corpse?
But everyone says he ascended to immortality. Could it be that the Immortal Lord Baopu died in body but his soul became an immortal?
Zhao Hao was also pondering the same question: Had all his previous ideas been wrong? The physical body was nourished by grains and miscellaneous foods, destined to be unable to become an immortal; he could only focus on the soul.
Thinking of the power of the primordial spirit, a light flashed in Zhao Hao's mind. No wonder no one has ever become an immortal in thousands of years. It turns out that everyone thought that the body and soul could become immortal together, but in reality, the body is destined not to become immortal and live forever.
He was filled with excitement, feeling as if he had touched a crucial threshold.
But the body is the vessel of the soul, protecting its existence. Without the body, how can the primordial spirit, no matter how strong, endure?
He had too many questions to answer, but he didn't lose his mind and rush to open the coffin. How could an immortal not have left some backup plan?
Jing Teng didn't care about anything else. He went straight to the huge coffin and pushed the lid open.
Zuan and his group: "..."
This woman is way too reckless.
I was worried for her, but surprisingly nothing unexpected happened.
The group rushed over and found no putrid smell like in a typical tomb; instead, there was a faint medicinal fragrance.
Inside the lid, there was a ring of various items, and in the very center lay a small bronze coffin.
The coffin consists of an outer coffin and an inner inner coffin. What everyone just saw was actually the outer coffin, and the space between it and the inner coffin was filled with various bottles and jars, which were the things that the deceased used during his lifetime.
However, they all looked like everyday household items, and there were also some weapons in the corner.
It was clear that many of the weapons were of superior quality, but Zu An and Zhao Hao both possessed divine-grade weapons. Although those weapons looked sharp, they didn't seem to even have heaven-grade quality; they were just a bunch of earth-grade weapons. They were indeed precious to ordinary people, but they didn't particularly interest the people present.
Zuan was even a little suspicious. How could a dignified immortal lord use such an... ordinary weapon?
Just then, Zhao Hao reacted swiftly, reaching out and grabbing a small alchemy furnace in mid-air. A rolling sound came from inside, clearly indicating that it contained pills or something similar.
"I just gave you the precious Soul-Burning Fire Crystal, so it's not unreasonable for me to take something now, is it?" Zhao Hao's divine sense had already probed into the pill furnace, where there were three pills, each emitting a rich fragrance. Even his slightly injured soul from the battle with the Ghost King had been nourished, clearly indicating that these pills were of the highest quality.
The rich medicinal fragrance throughout the coffin was emanating from this alchemy furnace. How could an elixir that could be buried with an immortal be an ordinary product?
Maybe this is the legendary elixir of immortality!
The thought that he might become immortal made Zhao Hao's face twitch, unable to suppress his excitement.
He was originally deeply submissive, but now that his time is up, the method of immortality he has been searching for has finally come to fruition. How could he not be excited?
Of course, it's not convenient to eat right now. I'll find a safe place to be alone later and digest it slowly.
Zu An frowned: "I heard there's more than one pill in that furnace. You can take one, and we can share the rest."
In truth, he didn't think the pill was particularly valuable, since it was placed between the coffins, not inside the coffin itself.
Moreover, this medicine smells far too strong. If it really emitted such a fragrance, its medicinal properties would have been almost entirely depleted over the years.
Of course, more importantly, Jing Teng had just subtly given him a wink, proving that this pill was indeed not the legendary elixir of immortality.
The reason Zhao Hao was so agitated was mainly because he was too concerned. He desperately wanted the elixir of immortality, so he would think of it even if there was only the slightest possibility.
"You're all so young, these pills won't do you any good. You'll have plenty of opportunities in the future. Besides, strictly speaking, these pills might not be as valuable as the Soul-Burning Fire Crystals you had before." Zhao Hao naturally wouldn't give them to you.
"Since it's so valuable, why don't we trade?" Zuan sneered.
“There’s no need to change,” Zhao Hao smiled slightly. “How about I let you choose the next item first?”
Anyway, if there really is some special divine object, I will do anything to get my hands on it. For now, I'm just giving him some hope.
Zu'an then took the opportunity to back down. After all, he had gotten something for nothing this time; the pill wasn't very useful, but getting a promise from Zhao Hao was good enough. Although he knew that the other party wouldn't give up a truly top-tier item, something like the Soul-Burning Fire Crystal wasn't something Zhao Hao urgently needed, so he wouldn't immediately turn against him.
