Chapter 44 Getting rich

Use Li Zhi's Luoyang shovel to open the tomb door of the middle hall.

Li Zhi followed Duan De closely into the airtight hall.

The soul-calming bell directly enlarged to the size of a person's height, hovering above the two people's heads, and emitting bursts of purple-blue light, swallowing up all the negative energy that had accumulated in the hall for thousands of years.

A huge coffin three meters long, two meters wide and one and a half meters high appeared in the center of the hall.

The coffin is made of an unknown spiritual wood with yin attributes.

Upon seeing this, Duan De even curled his lips, as if he was dissatisfied with the shabby coffin they were using.

Walking to the coffin, Duan De took out a one-foot-long nail that exuded a strong cold aura, and then nailed it on the coffin lid.

At the same time, a faint light flashed in his eyes, as if he could see through everything inside the coffin through the long nail.

After pulling out the spike, Duan De said to Li Zhi happily: "Little Li Zhi, we are lucky. We dug up something good."

"what?"

Li Zhizheng looked at the layout of the hall and felt that it was a bit shabby, not worthy of their status as great kings. There was not even a single magical weapon or divine material for decoration.

The surrounding walls were completely bare, with only a few pillars carved with some images of sinister beasts, which added a bit of brilliance to this hall used for sleeping.

After hearing Duan De's call, he ran over immediately.

"A Xuanyin gem was born from the corpse of the big demon in the coffin." Duan De explained to Li Zhi.

"Xuanyin Orb? What is that?" Although he had learned more and more common sense about cultivation left by Jiang Shuwen, they were all common sense that could be used when practicing in the human world, not underground common sense.

Duan De said, "It is a treasure that can cleanse the soul of a cultivator and enhance the power of the primordial spirit. Judging from its size, this gem should have been born just a thousand years ago. It has a miraculous effect on people like you whose soul has not yet transformed into a primordial spirit. It can help you open your sea of ​​consciousness and enhance your spiritual awareness in advance."

Li Zhi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Uncle Taoist, are there any side effects?"

Duan De nodded in satisfaction and said, "You were not mesmerized by the treasure, and you even knew to ask about the side effects. Little Li Zhi, I am looking forward to you more and more."

Li Zhi said, "Uncle Taoist priest, are you going to give it to me?"

Duan De said: "If the Xuanyin Orb was of the ten-thousand-year level, it would still be of some use to me. Now that it is only of the thousand-year level, I will naturally give it to you."

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Taoist."

The child’s mouth was sweet enough that he was able to eat candy.

If it were an adult, Duan De would have probably killed the other person to pieces.

Then they opened the lid of the coffin.

Duan De dug out a Xuanyin gem from the heart of the monster's corpse, and after using the Soul-Calming Bell to disperse the Yin energy attached to it, he gave it to Li Zhi.

Afterwards, Duan De continued to fish out treasures from the secret realm inside the monster's body, and soon pulled out a red-blood spear from the sea of ​​​​wheels. This should be the weapon used by the monster when he was alive.

Then he fished out a lot of refining materials and some scriptures and volumes.

After clearing out all the treasures in the five secret realms of the Great Demon, Duan De looked at the pile of treasures on the ground, curled his lips and said, "What a poor demon."

Afterwards, after sorting them into different categories, Duan De put all the things away.

Seeing this, Li Zhi asked, "Uncle Taoist, where is mine?"

Duan De said seriously: "You are just a little kid, how can you use things from a dead person? It's unlucky. Didn't I give you the Xuanyin Orb?"

Li Zhi pretended to be pitiful and said, "Uncle Taoist, I also contributed a lot just now. You didn't even give me anything. You are obviously taking advantage of a child."

"You little brat, you're doing your part by helping me move some things." Duan De said with a smile.

Li Zhi said: "Then I can help you put the coffin lid back on."

Duan De was a little surprised and asked, "You still know the principle of taking treasure without destroying the body?"

Li Zhi said, "My father told me that we must not let the dead rest in peace. We can take their wealth, but we cannot touch their bodies. After all, if we can continue to circulate the wealth among the people, it is considered a good deed. If we take the wealth and touch the bodies, it is considered an evil deed."

Duan De smiled and said, "I was right about you. You are born to be in this line of work. However, I cannot give you the things, but I can let you copy a copy of those scriptures."

Li Zhi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Uncle Taoist, you knew that I don't know the language of the demon race, but you gave me those worthless things. I don't need them."

Duan De said: "Aren't you curious about what is recorded in those scriptures?"

Li Zhi said: "Divine skills, secrets, strange stories, or cultivation experience. He is a demon and I am a human, and I can't practice the demon's skills, so why do I need those things?"

Duan De said, "Do you understand the concept of analogy? Forget it, I will take the trouble to give you a translated scripture."

Afterwards, Duan De took out a blank jade slip and copied the contents of the scriptures in human language.

After Li Zhi took the jade slip, he started reading it immediately.

Sure enough, there were some cultivation techniques and cultivation experiences of the demon race, as well as some strange stories. However, the record of a fast secret method - Lightning Step made Li Zhi quite excited. After mastering it, one can transform into lightning and move at an unparalleled speed.

What was written above was a secret speed technique that the Green Emperor taught him to cultivate based on the racial characteristics of the great demon.

The race of the big demon is the lightning leopard clan. They are good at speed. After they have mastered the lightning step, their speed is comparable to that of the sky roc.

A thing running on the ground catches up with a thing flying in the sky. You can imagine how fast it is.

After re-fastening the coffin, Li Zhi followed Duan De and opened the other two halls.

Once again, I harvested a bunch of refining materials and two kingly magic weapons.

One is a small white jade tower, and the other is a purple jade gourd. Their quality is comparable to that of the red blood spear, and can only be regarded as mid-grade among the king's magic weapons.

After Duan De took away all the weapons and materials, he copied the scriptures that the two big monsters used to practice as usual.

The original form of one of the great demons was a white jade elephant king in his previous life, and the original form of the other great demon was the Sky-Swallowing Rat King.

Moreover, the Xuanyin Pearls did not grow in their bodies.

It seems that their cultivation in their lifetime was not as good as that of the Lightning Leopard King.

After sweeping the three halls, Duan De left with Li Zhi satisfied.

After returning to the ground, Li Zhi suddenly asked, "Uncle Taoist, how did you use the bell to control the corpse before?"

"It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning. If you want to learn it, I'll teach you." Duan De seemed to be in a very good mood.

Li Zhi nodded directly and said, "I want to learn."

Afterwards, Duan De pointed his finger at Li Zhi's forehead and taught him a secret method of controlling corpses.

Then, Duan De said, "Little Li Zhi, I will be wandering around in this primitive ruins for a while, so you should find a place to practice by yourself. Refine the Xuanyin Orb as soon as possible, because the Xuanyin Qi of creation in the Orb will dissipate over time."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Then I will stay here in seclusion."

Duan De smiled and said, "It's okay to retreat here, as long as you like."

Afterwards, Duan De rode away on the divine rainbow.

But Li Zhi always felt that there was an unspeakable secret in his last smile.

Li Zhi randomly opened up a cave on a nearby cliff. After blocking the entrance of the cave, he began to refine the gem according to the method taught by Duan De.

Placing the Xuanyin Orb between his eyebrows, Li Zhi began to use the mysterious method to absorb the Xuanyin creation energy inside.

A cool breath instantly entered his mind.

Then he felt his eyebrows starting to heat up and his mental strength began to surge.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but when the last trace of the Xuanyin Creation Energy was consumed, Li Zhi’s sea of ​​consciousness had been opened up.

The power of divine consciousness turned into a tangible object in the sea of ​​consciousness, and it seemed that a pool of water appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness.

And the precious pearl turned into powder at this moment.

Li Zhi released his spiritual sense, which reached hundreds of meters away, making him laugh happily.

After withdrawing his spiritual consciousness, Li Zhi planned to go out and find something to eat to fill his stomach.

But just walked out of the cave.

“Thunderbolt!”

A bolt of lightning instantly struck his head.

The originally shiny bald head suddenly had a large charred area shaped like a tree branch.

"Oh my god, why did you hit me?"

In other words, his body was extremely strong, and after being struck by lightning, he only suffered minor skin injuries.

But it would have been better if he hadn't cursed. After he cursed, two bolts of lightning struck him accurately.

Duan De did not tell Li Zhi that this was the side effect of using the Xuanyin Pearl.

One must undergo the baptism of the extremely yang force of thunder in order to dissipate the yin energy in one's consciousness.

After being struck by lightning nine times, Li Zhi finally lay on the ground like a black monkey.

Staring blankly at the sky.

It turns out that being struck by lightning feels this kind of painful feeling.
