Chapter 20 Human power has its limits. If you can’t move it, you can’t move it!

"Looking at the degree of abandonment of this camp, it has been two years. And it's not far from the mountain temple, so the timing is right." Zhang Wei thought to himself as he observed the abandoned tomb-robber camp.

"And there is no obvious damage around, which means that Master Yunhai did not come here to rob his hometown after killing the Corpse King. This is good news."

Well, the premise is that the Corpse King still left some savings in his own tomb, instead of taking it all away at once.

Then Zhang Wei looked at the inconspicuous hole. After two years of wind and rain, the hole had been blocked by mud.

However, with a target in mind, it wouldn't take much effort to open it up again, especially for Zhang Wei, a cultivator who possessed extraordinary powers.

"Earth-raising technique, start!"

Zhang Wei made a seal and shouted softly. As the spiritual power in his middle and lower dantian was released, the mud covering the stolen hole and the surrounding soil began to turn over as if they were given life.

Not long after, the buried tomb robbery hole reappeared in Zhang Wei's eyes.

Looking at the dark cave entrance, Zhang Wei did not go down immediately. Instead, he took out a cage from the backpack behind him. Inside the cage was a little white mouse with a rope tied around its neck.

This ancient tomb that has been buried underground for a long time has an extremely low oxygen content. Moreover, it is the tomb of the Corpse King. Who knows if there will be any poisonous gas or virus or something. Let Brother Rat explore the way first.

A full quarter of an hour passed before Zhang Wei pulled the little white mouse out of the tunnel. He then used the exorcism talisman he had bought from fellow Taoist Xiao Yunshan to test it, and only felt relieved after ensuring it was safe.

However, at this point Zhang Wei still did not go down the cave.

Instead, he solemnly took out several golden talismans from his backpack and pasted them on the inside of his clothes. These were the golden armor talismans that he had bargained for before Xiao Yunshan left, which were enough to resist the magic attacks of the late stage of Qi Refining.

This is to prevent the remnants of the Corpse King from hiding in the Corpse King's Tomb. In case you happen to encounter those corpse beasts when you go down, you can react easily.

In addition, there were shady talismans to avoid exposing one's existence and clear-eyed talismans that allowed one to see easily in the dark, as well as various other talismans. This set of talismans had used up most of the two hundred taels of spirit stones that Zhang Wei had earned in the mountain village camp.

"I have to have a treasure, otherwise I'll lose everything in this business." Zhang Wei prayed in his heart as he went down the hole.

It was very dark inside the tomb, but fortunately Zhang Wei had the eye-sight seal so he didn't have to worry about not being able to see.

At this moment, Zhang Wei suddenly discovered that compared with the outside world, the environment inside the tomb seemed more comfortable. After careful sensing, he found that the spiritual energy here was several times stronger than that of the outside world.

Although it is still not that high, it is equivalent to the level at which their spiritual veins and spiritual energy dispersed when the Wang family's land was opened.

“Is there a spiritual vein here?”

However, as soon as this idea came up, Zhang Wei suppressed it. Are you kidding me? Whose spiritual vein is so small?
Following his sense of spiritual energy, Zhang Wei cast his gaze towards the ground beneath his feet. After careful observation, he discovered that the spiritual energy was actually emanating from the floor tiles beneath his feet!

"Is this a spirit stone? The quality is quite low. If I refine it again, I guess this big piece won't even yield half an ounce." Zhang Wei was shocked, then he looked up into the depths of the corridor and found that there was another identical floor tile not far away.

"besides?"

Walking along the floor tiles, Zhang Wei found that there was a special floor tile every few steps. At the back, the density of the spiritual stone floor tiles increased again, giving people a feeling of being specially arranged.

However, Zhang Wei did not encounter any traps along the way. It was not until he reached the end of the corridor, in front of and behind a half-open gilded door, that he discovered that the doorposts and doorframes of the door were covered with strange lines, and spiritual energy was drawn from the spiritual stone tiles below and released through these strange lines.

Standing at the door, Zhang Wei felt that all the pores on his body were relaxed, and he felt very comfortable under the blowing of spiritual energy.

"Is this a formation?"

Zhang Wei thought to himself: "Did they actually extract the spiritual energy from the spirit stones to turn this place into an artificial spirit vein? How many spirit stones would this cost!"

Moreover, this is the result of the formation running for who knows how many years. Zhang Wei dare not imagine how many spirit stones were inside this tomb when it was first built.

"I'm afraid the spiritual stones in the tomb alone must be worth 100,000 taels, right? He actually took them all into the tomb. I wonder what kind of mood his descendants were in when they held the funeral."

Just when Zhang Wei was daydreaming, he suddenly heard a series of stiff footsteps coming from inside the door.

"Crack...knock..."

"Sure enough, there are remnants of the Corpse King!"

Zhang Wei was startled, then he stood up and stepped on the side wall of the corridor, jumped up, and then used one hand to stick to the wall and lay on the top of the corridor like a gecko.

Then, several figures emitting the stench of corpses slowly walked out from behind the door, roaring and looking left and right as if they were looking for something.

"It's equivalent to a corpse slave in the late stage of Qi Refining!"

When Zhang Wei saw the figure in the lead, his pupils suddenly shrank.

The late stage of Qi Refining, one small realm higher than him. Plus two red-haired zombies equivalent to the middle stage of Qi Refining, this is already the strongest opponent Zhang Wei has encountered since entering the world of immortal cultivation.

but……

That's it.

Corpse slaves are not zombies, but people infected by the zombie poison. They will only act according to the orders of the source of infection.

Even if they have some skills, they can only use them superficially to enhance their bodies, which is far inferior to the immortal cultivators at the same level.

So when these three corpse slaves walked under him, Zhang Wei's eyes flashed with lightning, and he actually let go of his hands, and fell directly towards the corpse slave in the late stage of Qi Refining!

With the help of the Shadow-Invisibility Talisman, the three zombies couldn't find him at all, and Zhang Wei fell directly behind the corpse slave in the late Qi Refining stage.

Then Zhang Wei stretched out his hand, and pressed his index finger and middle finger against the back of the corpse slave's head in a sword-like gesture.

then……

Sizzle——

The azure electric light penetrated the corpse slave's head, directly dispelling the bloodthirsty madness in the corpse slave's eyes. Then the corpse slave's entire head turned charred black, and fell limply to the ground as if it had lost support.

However, there was another flash of lightning, and a half-meter-long lightning sword extended from Zhang Wei's fingers, and he slashed at the two corpse slaves beside him.

Sizzle, sizzle———

The Five Thunder Swords swept across, and the two corpse slaves followed their leader's footsteps and fell limply at Zhang Wei's feet.

He waved his hand to disperse the Five Thunder Swords, wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the three corpses at his feet, and then looked inside the door, thinking: "Are there no other corpse slaves guarding it?"

He took out a Hercules Talisman and activated it. A golden illusory figure appeared beside Zhang Wei, and then walked to the door according to Zhang Wei's instructions and opened the door of the tomb for him.

coax---

There was no danger as expected. Instead, there was powerful spiritual energy that gushed out like a flood, forming a spiritual wind that messed up Zhang Wei's hair.

"What a rich spiritual energy!"

Zhang Wei exclaimed, then looked into the tomb and was shocked to find that underneath the tomb, there were lines of materialized array patterns humming and flashing, and wisps of spiritual energy were constantly rising under the effect of the array, giving people a sense of beauty like a fairyland.

The walls of the tomb were paved with gold, with reliefs of various rare and exotic animals outlined in silver. Guarding the center of the tomb was a throne made entirely of high-quality spiritual stone!

The dome of the tomb was inlaid with thousands of beads, which were the sun, moon and stars. Zhang Wei even felt the strong spiritual fluctuations on many beads, which were obviously not ordinary things!

Sparkling with gold, silver and aura, this luxurious tomb almost blinded Zhang Wei!

Zhang Wei was so scared that he quickly put a spiritual talisman on his forehead to prevent himself from seeing hallucinations. "This... this... how much money does this cost? The spiritual stone jade throne alone must be 10,000 taels, right? Add to that the gold and the pearls..."

Zhang Wei was so surprised that he was incoherent. In fact, he had no idea how many spirit stones there were here. After all, he had never seen so much money in his previous life and this life combined. He had already thought of it as high as possible.

Compared with this tomb, his Zhang family’s warehouse can only be regarded as a beggar’s den!
Swallowing his saliva to suppress the nervousness in his heart, Zhang Wei then ordered the golden-armored warrior to enter the tomb, while he himself was ready to use the thunder spell at any time. If anything unusual happened, he would escape at the fastest speed in his life.

However, to Zhang Wei's surprise, there was no mechanism inside the tomb, and the golden-armored warrior walked to the throne in the center of the tomb unscathed.

Then, according to Zhang Wei's request, he knocked left and right, even pried open the spiritual stone tiles that provided spiritual energy, but nothing unusual happened.

"No protection at all?"

Zhang Wei was a little bit unconvinced. After all, in the novels he read in his previous life, when the protagonist went to explore places like ancient tombs, he would always encounter various "gifts" prepared by the tomb owners.

Either he gets humiliated, or he has a fleeting romance with the heroine in the same industry.

But he hadn't encountered any trouble along the way. After all, he was a foundation-building corpse king, so why didn't he even prepare a backup plan? This made him feel very unreal.

So Zhang Wei took out a few more warrior talismans and asked the warriors in golden armor to physically scrape the ground three feet high in the tomb.

Lingshi floor tiles? Pry them open!

Golden walls? Take it off!
Wonderful pearls and stars? Pick them!
Don’t even let go of that spiritual stone jade throne, move it away for me!

I just don't believe that no matter how well protected you are, you still won't be able to launch an attack even if I dig up your entire tomb!

Just as the golden-armored warriors were peeling the golden reliefs off the walls of the tomb, Zhang Wei was surprised to find that there were passages behind the reliefs!

"There is indeed a dark room."

Zhang Wei was not surprised by the appearance of the dark room. On the contrary, he was very curious about what treasures were hidden behind the dark room. After all, there were so many treasures in the main tomb chamber, so what kind of treasures were hidden in the dark rooms hidden by the Corpse King?
However, when the golden-armored warriors sorted out the wealth in the tomb and piled up several mountains of gold, the entire formation became ineffective, but Zhang Wei still did not find any signs of the mechanism being activated.

"Is that corpse king so heartless?"

Zhang Wei muttered to himself, then bravely walked into the tomb.

Still no problem.

"There really is no protection at all."

Zhang Wei exclaimed, and began to estimate his own gains.

The eight golden reliefs and golden wall coverings would be worth one hundred thousand taels even if they were all melted!
One hundred thousand taels of gold! Converted into silver, it would be more than two million taels!
More than two million taels of silver!

Zhang Wei felt that Yun State’s treasury was not as rich as he was now.

Even if all of it was replaced with spirit stones, it would cost more than 200,000 taels, not to mention the unknown value of these rare pearls and the spirit stone jade throne. The conservative value is nearly 300,000 taels!
Zhang Wei felt dizzy after estimating this number, remembering that he was still heartbroken for losing 600 taels of spirit stones last month, but now he turned around and found that he had obtained a fortune worth 300,000 taels of spirit stones!

What does it mean to get rich overnight?

"Calm down, calm down, calm down! You still have to think about how to take the money. Don't get excited, don't get excited...hahahaha..."

Zhang Wei warned himself, but he couldn't stop smiling. He felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest!
After laughing for a while, Zhang Wei started to worry again.

How can I bring so much money back?

Although it is tiring to carry a hundred kilograms of paper, I can carry a hundred kilograms of money and run.

But humans have their limits after all.

This is true even if Zhang Wei is a cultivator.

One hundred thousand taels of gold plus these other things, the total weight is nearly ten tons!

I can’t carry it, I really can’t carry it!
Even if he could carry it, it would be too conspicuous to carry such a large sum of money back to Luoxia Mountain. Anyone on the road would notice something was wrong. If he was unlucky enough to run into someone from the Wang family, his life would probably be in danger.

Alas, the trouble of having too much money.

"I hope there will be treasures like storage bags in these tombs. Otherwise, I can only take these things away in batches, which is too troublesome." Zhang Wei thought as he looked towards other passages.

Then, following the previous method, he sent out golden-armored warriors to explore the way first. When the warrior talismans were almost used up, he ensured that these passages were safe. Only then did Zhang Wei walk in with confidence.

At the end of the first passage, Zhang Wei saw an underground cave as big as a football field, and in the center of the cave was a huge stalagmite hanging from the top of the cave. Under the stalagmite was a jade tripod.

"Could it be the legendary stone marrow spiritual liquid?" Zhang Wei excitedly walked to the jade tripod and looked inside, then was greatly disappointed.

There was nothing inside. Judging from the refreshing fragrance still emitted by the jade tripod, the treasures stored here had long been used up by the awakened corpse king.

"Zhao, this damn corpse king actually ate my treasure!" Zhang Wei cursed angrily.

Zhang Wei turned around and entered the second passage, and found that it was connected to a two-acre medicinal garden.

However, time flies, and without anyone taking care of them for a long time, most of the spiritual medicines have withered even with the nourishment of spiritual energy.

The few plants that were still alive were still very young. I guess they were planted after the Corpse King awakened. They were not yet mature and there was no need to pick them.

The second tomb also yielded nothing.

The third tomb chamber was much smaller, only 30 square meters, and contained several bookshelves with piles of debris on them.

Apparently, this was where the Corpse King stored the talismans, but most of them were not able to withstand the erosion of time and turned into debris. Even if there were any that could be used, they were probably taken away by the Corpse King.

The third tomb chamber, nothing!
"Damn it! I don't believe it. Apart from that pile of gold, there is nothing else valuable in this corpse king's tomb!"

Zhang Wei went into the fourth tomb cursing.

In the fourth tomb chamber, there was a furnace with the flame already extinguished, and on the cabinet next to it were more than a dozen gourds for storing elixirs.

However, once you open it...

“Eh~~~~~” Zhang Wei threw the gourd aside with a look of disgust.

The pills have all gone bad!

Corpse King, do you have any quirks? Why do you keep the spoiled pills taking up space? Could this be your trick to murder us?
"continue!"

The fifth tomb, empty!

The sixth tomb chamber was also empty!

Zhang Wei was confused after six consecutive failures. If he didn't dislike smoking, he would have at least lighted one for himself.

Did the Corpse King really take all the valuable treasures with him and deliver them to Master Yunhai? Were these gold, spirit stones, and rare pearls left here simply because they were inconvenient to carry?

"There are two more, let's keep trying." Zhang Wei sighed, then walked into the seventh tomb with an uneasy mood.

As if his luck had really turned, he finally got something in this tomb!
“These are magic weapons?!”
