Four to five hundred spatial rings, each with one hundred thousand medicinal material seeds.
No, no.
Sect Master Jun wasn’t good at math—someone help calculate!
The medicinal materials in the spatial rings were in excellent condition, meaning their grade must be high. There were also many that could be planted to refine pills!
Jun Changxiao had been worrying about how to get more medicinal materials. Now entering the tomb and getting so many at once, he felt an unreal sensation as if in a dream.
Wait a moment!
Could there be some kind of illusion here that manifests whatever one thinks about?
Jun Changxiao pinched his own face hard.
It hurt—it really hurt—but the scene before his eyes still existed, making it truly hard for him to determine whether this was real or fake.
Never mind.
Take it first!
Just as he was about to collect all the spatial rings, a cold wind suddenly blew in his ear, as if someone was standing behind him breathing!
Jun Changxiao turned his head. In his field of vision appeared a face twisted almost beyond recognition, with special mist exhaling from the nose and空洞, lifeless eyes with no life force emanating.
A僵尸?
Or a ghost!
“Holy crap!”
Boom—
Thud thud thud!
The disheveled person who had somehow gotten close behind him was blasted away.
Jun Changxiao quickly pulled Xi Jingxuan back.
A guy appearing behind him like a ‘zombie,’ completely undetectable by spiritual sense—even someone who watched many horror films would get goosebumps!
Crack crack crack!
The soft soil split open. Pairs of withered hands emerged, then climbed out disheveled people in tattered clothes.
The scene was like countless丧尸 crawling out from a mass grave!
He had encountered a similar situation in Demon Ridge Valley, but at least those were fierce beasts. These were genuine human corpses!
Thump thump thump!
The corpses walked over with dangling arms, twisting and swaying.
Jun Changxiao protected Xi Jingxuan in front, saying: “Palace Master Xi, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
She couldn’t even see anything—what was there to fear!
“Swish!”
A cold, fierce wind sounded from behind. A corpse with a ferocious expression attacked.
Boom!
Jun Changxiao punched out, merely blasting the opponent away—the chest was perfectly fine.
“Such strong defense?”
The corpse attacked again, as if feeling no pain.
“Clang—”
Light flashed. The Hanmang Sword unsheathed, immediately shaking out sword flowers that ruthlessly slashed at the attacking corpse.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sword energy bombed the body, as if hitting an iron plate. Clear ringing sounds immediately transmitted—just short of sparks flying!
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched: “Is this a person or a stone?”
Swish! Swish!
Just then, corpses rushed over from both sides.
Jun Changxiao didn’t hesitate. He picked up Xi Jingxuan, used Cloud-Treading Steps to circle around, then placed her in a safe area. Both hands emanated scorching flames as he said coldly: “Let me see how resilient you are!”
Whoosh whoosh!
Scorching flames erupted, instantly condensing into flame fist seals that bombarded toward the two attacking corpses!
Bang!
Bang!
Explosive sounds transmitted.
The two corpses were blasted away. Their clothes burned, but the skin露在外 was only scorched black—they hadn’t suffered fatal injuries.
“Good, good!”
Jun Changxiao clenched both fists, immediately激发ing出 Chixing Absolute Flame, again gathering fist seals to blast forward.
Bang—
This strike not only carried powerful spiritual energy but also contained fire-element explosive force. Hitting one corpse, it directly pierced through the chest!
Jun Changxiao smiled with satisfaction.
But the smile quickly stiffened, because the corpse with a gaping hole in its chest could still stand up!
“Unkillable cockroaches!” Sect Master Jun collapsed.
“Nonsense.”
The system said: “They’re already dead—how can they die again!”
“Good, good!”
Jun Changxiao said coldly: “Then turn directly to ash!”
“Swish!”
He strode forward. Both arms emanated towering flames, then forcefully swept out, instantly enveloping the attacking corpse in the most explosive burning!
Chixing Absolute Flame was the most explosive among divine-grade fire seeds. Once it touched the body, the burning force it formed was extremely intense.
The corpse was consumed by flames like a fire person. The hard flesh gradually melted and burned until it turned to ash!
Even the strongest flesh body couldn’t withstand burning from divine-grade flames.
Swish!
Swish!
At the same time, dozens of corpses rushed over from the other three directions!
“All disappear!”
Whoosh whoosh—
Chixing Absolute Flame erupted. More than half the mountain cave was permeated by flames, as if transforming into a sea of fire!
This was the first time Jun Changxiao fully unleashed his strongest flames. The威势 was so strong that even Xi Jingxuan behind him was moved!
Though unable to see that magnificent scene with her eyes, from the violent fire-element aura emanating, she could judge that whether in intensity or refinement, it far exceeded the Raging Flame Sacred Sect elder!
Crack crack crack!
Under the flame burning, sounds like roasting continuously transmitted. The corpses were turned to ash in the scorching sea of fire!
Swish!
The flames withdrew. The forty-plus corpses nearby had all been incinerated to residual ash.
Chixing Absolute Flame—terrifyingly formidable!
Jun Changxiao quickly collected all the spatial rings, then pulled Xi Jingxuan toward the next entrance, thinking silently: “First medical skills, then medicinal material seeds—perhaps this tomb really is related to the Hundred Faces Medical Saint.”
The system said: “I just checked historical records. They document that the last place the Hundred Faces Medical Saint appeared was Southern Desolate Province.”
This guy had been collecting continental information all along—naturally wouldn’t miss historical literature.
“Really?”
This information was important, making Jun Changxiao certain that even if the tomb’s owner wasn’t the Hundred Faces Medical Saint, there must be countless connections.
Of course.
He couldn’t tell Xi Jingxuan. In case she got stimulated and dejected, that would be troublesome.
“Moreover.”
The system said: “According to limited historical records, the Hundred Faces Medical Saint came to Southern Desolate Province to treat his seriously ill wife.”
Jun Changxiao said in astonishment: “Isn’t he a Medical Saint? He couldn’t even cure his wife’s illness?”
The system said: “That’s unknown.”
Jun Changxiao didn’t ask more, bringing Xi Jingxuan into the tunnel to proceed deeper.
Just as he left, the sect experts surged in from the rear tunnel, all in狼狈不堪 condition with多处破损 in their clothes, seeming to have experienced a fierce battle.
Whoosh whoosh—
Everyone stopped, breathing heavily and rapidly.
“Damn it!”
The Raging Flame Sacred Sect elder said angrily: “How could there be so many corpses hard as rock in this tomb?”
Not hard to hear.
They had also encountered corpses with extremely strong flesh bodies.
But Jun Changxiao came from that route earlier—how come he didn’t encounter any?
This is a long story.
Simply put, though Jun Changxiao and they both entered from the cave entrance, because certain restrictions existed inside, they didn’t walk the same路.
Otherwise, going in one after another, they would have caught up long ago instead of being pulled so far apart.
The area Old Man Ge and others entered also had many medical and pharmaceutical ancient texts. Everyone mistook them for martial arts secret manuals and scrambled for them.
While scrambling, a group of corpses appeared.
No choice—everyone could only unite against external threats. After great effort, they finally defeated them and came to this medicine garden-like mountain cave.
“Hm?”
The Raging Flame Sacred Sect elder suddenly frowned: “This place has extremely strong fire element aura!”
As a fire-element Wuhuang, he had extremely strong perception of the same attribute.
As he gradually probed and analyzed, his心神 was震撼ed, and he exclaimed: “The martial cultivator who released the fire element must have far superior comprehension of flames than myself!”
Who was it?
The Raging Flame Sacred Sect elder suddenly thought of Jun Changxiao. After all, he and the Miaohua Palace Master had entered first.
External rumors said this person also seemed to be a fire-element martial cultivator, but only at Wuwang level. Why would his flame comprehension be even stronger than his own!
“Strange.”
Old Man Ge frowned: “Why is there nothing here?”
Places Sect Master Jun had visited—if they left you anything, that would truly be bizarre.
