Chapter 603 I'll Spit You to Death with One Sip of Water!
Hidden treasures are highly mysterious lineages of practice within various religious sects.

"伏" means to hide or conceal, and to temporarily conceal a certain teaching in different ways, waiting for the right opportunity to be "discovered" and revealed to the world by a destined person, so as to benefit sentient beings in the present moment.

"Hidden" refers to temporarily concealed techniques or represents Taoist practices, ritual implements, and other items. The existence of hidden treasures is a unique testament to the concepts of affinity and karmic connection among various religious sects.

As for the "Taiqing Yuanling Water Method" that appeared in Gao Dongxu's mind, it is a Taoist belief that water is the most virtuous thing, nurturing all spirits, flowing through mountains and rivers, and gathering the spiritual energy of nature.

They believe that water possesses vitality and contains emotions. Water itself has the function of transmitting, condensing, integrating, and communicating information. Through long-term cultivation, one can condense one's own essence and energy in water by combining talismanic forms with incantations and hand gestures, and finally cultivate one's own energy field through water.

It can also be said that water is a unique alchemy furnace, which integrates human essence, innate true energy, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one, thus creating something mysterious and boundless.

By combining incantations and hand gestures, one's own energy and the energy of nature are added to the water, giving it a powerful energy field that can heal illnesses, ward off evil spirits, exorcise demons, prolong life, and strengthen oneself.

What troubled Gao Dongxu was that some of the forty water techniques recorded in the cultivation method were so ridiculous that he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

There are no problems with water-based remedies for treating illnesses and injuries, such as "water for all diseases," "water for all ailments," "water for the king of medicine," "water for expelling evil spirits," "water for curing hysteria," "health water," "strengthening water," "pain-relieving water," and "bleed-stopping water."

For example, water for exorcising evil spirits, water for driving away ghosts, water for exorcising demons, water for dispelling evil spirits, water for controlling ghosts, water for slaying ghosts, water for subduing demons, water for exorcising spirits, water for suppressing evil spirits, and water for breaking evil spells are all easy to understand.

But what on earth are these "Five Paths to Wealth Water," "Marital Harmony Water," "Water to Eliminate Longing Water," "Water to Abstain from Lust Water," "Water to Win Back Love Water," "Water for Marriage Water," "Beauty Water," and "Water to Prevent Suicide"?

Of course, there are quite a few things that can improve Gao Dongxu's abilities.

Fire God Water, Five Thunder Water, Bone-Melting Water, Longevity Water, Life-Saving Water, Detoxifying Water, Antidote Water, Protective Water, Longevity Water, Insect and Beast Invulnerability Water, Bewitching Water, Golden Light Water, etc. are all very practical and powerful water spells.

In particular, when combined with the Five Thunder Water and the Five Thunder Palm, one of the only recorded third sets of techniques, he could generate electricity by hand after mastering it.

There is also the Golden Light Penetrating Body Method, which combines Golden Light Water and has the same effect as the Golden Light Mantra.

Finally, there's a set of sword techniques from the Heavenly Physician Xuanming Sword... Yes, a very pure sword technique.

Okay, he's completely turned into a charlatan now, using talismanic water to cure illnesses and save lives, and even killing demons and monsters with a single sip of water... From now on, killing you with a single sip of water won't be a joke for him anymore.

However, the most interesting thing is the cultivation of water magic, which is really diverse. Some water magic requires 7 days, 21 days, 49 days, 100 days, or 120 days to succeed.

There are water-based techniques that can be practiced at home, while others require 49 days of practice in a mountain cave to succeed. The most absurd water-based technique requires practice in a graveyard or a secluded place in the mountains...

It seems that from now on, he'll have to fill his space with all sorts of water bottles and water guns. He just doesn't know if these water spells will work. Although it's a bit funny to have to drink water in big gulps and shoot water with a water gun when catching ghosts and exorcising demons, he'll tolerate it as long as it works.

"what happened to you?"

Seeing Gao Dongxu fall silent, his expression constantly changing and becoming increasingly strange, Director Luo, who had been carefully observing him, was somewhat startled and cautiously asked, "..."

"It's nothing, I just thought of something and got a little distracted," Gao Dongxu said with an embarrassed smile, temporarily suppressing his urge to study water magic. What he wanted most right now was to refine the "Harmony Water for Couples" and test its effects.

If it were truly effective, then he wouldn't need to worry about his many lovers, because the other women would cause trouble for him or even leave him.

Okay, even if we part ways, it's not a big deal. There's always the "reconciliation potion," right? Just drink a cup of that water, and we can be friends again and continue our deep conversations.

Tsk tsk, finally I don't have to worry about things going wrong in my backyard.

"What's the matter?" Director Luo asked Gao Dongxu with some suspicion. He was genuinely wondering if there was something unclean about the token that was affecting Gao Dongxu.

"My men followed a group of tomb raiders to a misty village deep in the mountains of your province. It's said that a warlord during the Republic of China era discovered a large tomb there, and then overnight, all the villagers disappeared. Some say they were killed by the warlord, while others say the villagers went into the tomb, made a fortune, and then all left the mountains..."

Of course, that's not the most interesting part. The most interesting part is that my people discovered that, in addition to the original group of tomb raiders, three more groups appeared. One of these groups was very mysterious, wearing black cloaks and masks, and each of them was well-equipped.

Originally, I wanted to withdraw my people, as I was worried about their safety. Now that I have an organization, it's natural to ask for your opinion, leader.

"Do you think we should get involved in this?" Gao Dongxu immediately used the matter of Misty Village to divert Director Luo's attention.

Sure enough, Director Luo said urgently, "What do you mean by getting involved? That's state property. We absolutely cannot let those tomb raiders succeed. I'll apply for local armed assistance for you. We must wipe out those tomb raiders in one fell swoop!"
A tomb that can attract so many tomb raiders must be extraordinary; you must take it seriously...

Director Luo's eyes became incredibly bright and sharp. As the head of the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, he knew better than anyone how precious and important a large tomb was that could attract so many tomb raiders.

Although Director Luo didn't want to admit it, he knew better than anyone, and felt helpless, that the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau and the cultural relics protection bureaus in various regions had always maintained a very mysterious and ambiguous relationship with tomb raiders.

Unfortunately, when it comes to finding ancient tombs, the cultural heritage bureau's staff are simply no match for the tomb raiders. After all, cultural heritage protection work has only been around for a few decades, while tomb raiding has been practiced for thousands of years—there's no comparison. This has created a strange and mysterious relationship: the cultural heritage bureau is constantly chasing after tomb raiders to excavate ancient tombs.

The so-called rescue excavation is just a euphemism; to put it bluntly, it's just checking if there's any leftovers or any scraps to be found. It's something that can't be helped, like the Jinsha site, which was looted before archaeological work even began.

At the time, the archaeologists were having hot pot... Oops, during a rescue excavation, they discovered gold foil depicting the sun bird in the soil.

Therefore, there is a rumor in the world that archaeologists do not necessarily hate tomb raiders, because when tomb raiders open their shop, archaeologists get the leftovers, and there is a certain probability that they can even find something of value and have a good meal.

Don't be fooled by the experts' mournful faces and cries of "What to do?" when they arrive at the scene to find a mess. They're secretly overjoyed. Research projects, funding, graduate students... they've got it all—enough to feed them for years.

*Ahem* Of course, these are all just rumors, extremely despicable, just listen to them and forget about them...

Now that Director Luo has heard about a large tomb, with tomb raiders gathered there and under surveillance, it's no wonder he's excited.

"Don't worry about Tianjin for now. Anyway, that tree isn't going anywhere. Head to your province as soon as possible. If you can save that tomb, I'll give you a big reward."

"Ahem, what if it's a small tomb or there's nothing in it?" Gao Dongxu knew that the large tomb in Misty Village had long been emptied out by warlords during the Republic of China era and turned into an underground villa.

"Impossible. With so many tomb raiders gathered together, a bunch of criminals who wouldn't do anything without profit, how could they possibly raid an empty tomb?" Director Luo simply didn't believe Gao Dongxu's theory.

"Alright, kid, stop slacking off. Come on, I'll show you something really good. If you can save the tomb, I'll give it to you."

"What good stuff?" Gao Dongxu asked curiously, intrigued.

"Hehe, let's go. Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down." With that, Director Luo led Gao Dongxu quickly toward the depths of the warehouse.

Walking to the last display shelf, Gao Dongxu saw a long sword with a rather strange shape.

"What is this?" Gao Dongxu asked, his eyes shining as he looked at the longsword.

"Qilin Sword—" Director Luo took the longsword down with some effort and handed it to Gao Dongxu, saying, "As the name suggests, it is named after the ancient mythical beast Qilin used as decoration on its hilt. The scabbard and blade of this cold weapon are engraved with classic dragon patterns."

According to legend, this cold weapon was made of extraordinary materials, using fragments of three extremely sinister and poisonous weapons passed down from ancient times, along with hundreds of highly toxic substances.

Therefore, the resulting cold weapon was even more bizarre, sinister, and brutal. Legend has it that several highly skilled Taoist masters were later hired to imbue the weapon with their power, enabling it to slay all demons and monsters in the world.

"Chong-"

Gao Dongxu drew his longsword; its blade was cold and sharp, unlike any ancient sword he had ever seen.

"Is the sword poisoned?"

"It's said to be based on legend. It has been analyzed and tested and found to be non-toxic. However, it truly can cut through iron like mud. The composition of this sword is very strange. It has been compared with all the components on Earth, and none of them match. Therefore, experts speculate that it was made from a meteorite from outer space."

Also, be careful when using this sword, as the wounds it causes are very difficult to heal. So, while it's said to be poisonous, it doesn't actually contain any deadly poison that can kill instantly. On the other hand, the wounds it causes can inhibit the secretion of serum.

"In short, you must be extremely careful when using it," Director Luo warned solemnly.

Sensing the incredibly dense spiritual energy within the longsword, Gao Dongxu immediately understood that it was a divine weapon. Suppressing his overwhelming joy, he gracefully twirled the sword before sheathing it.

"You really gave it to me?"

"I'll lend it to you for now. If you manage to save the tomb, then it's yours," Director Luo said with a smile.

“I also need that bronze sword from Zhongnan Mountain, the crystal vajra, the shaman drum, and that string of amber beads,” Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"You're really greedy. The first three items can be allocated to you, but not given to you. That string of amber is no good; it's too evil. Anyone who has ever possessed that string of amber will inevitably die suddenly within six months to a year. Several experts have examined it and unanimously believe that it contains a malevolent spirit that caused a violent death, and that it has a long history. There is no other way but to purify it slowly."

Director Luo explained this to Gao Dongxu and refused to give him the amber.

Upon hearing this, Gao Dongxu frowned. He didn't insist. Since the senior experts had said so, he didn't need to risk offending them. If he really couldn't subdue them, he would be the one who suffered.
