Tomb raiding: Scientists dissect the Queen Mother of the West

Day two.

Qi Mo and the Queen Mother of the West bid farewell to the Zhang clan chief and headed towards the village gate.

When the Zhang clan members heard that the deity was leaving, they all came to see him off.

Among the crowd, the young believers who had been tricked and misled were crying their hearts out.

This made Qi Mo want to stay a few more days.

The Queen Mother of the West never expected that Qi Mo would be so popular in the Zhang clan's territory.

And you've only been here for three days!

As Qi Mo stepped out of the village gate, he glanced back at the Zhang clan members:

"You don't need to see me off anymore, you can all go back."

"This god may descend upon your Zhang clan's territory again in the future."

After saying that, he gave the Queen Mother of the West a wink, signaling that they could leave.

The Queen Mother of the West nodded and ordered the group to return to Tamutuo.

The group quickly disappeared from the Zhang clan's sight.

The Zhang clan chief stood at the village gate, staring in the direction where Qi Mo and the others had disappeared, lost in thought.

He seemed preoccupied.

"Three thousand years..."

"Is it really possible for me to live that long?"

He wasn't sure if the "secret to immortality" given to him by the Queen Mother of the West was true or false.

But with Qi Mo, a deity, as a witness, he believed it was most likely true.

Give it a try; perhaps you really can achieve immortality.

Anyway, I don't have many years left to live...

In the group, the Queen Mother of the West was preoccupied, pondering what Qi Mo meant when he said that he might descend upon the Zhang clan's territory in the future.

Could it be that the deity will eventually settle in the Zhang clan's territory?

Does this mean that the gods are going to abandon the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West?

The thought of this possibility flashed with intense killing intent in her eyes.

It wasn't just aimed at Qi Mo, but also at the Zhang clan.

At this moment, the system was telling Qi Mo about west Wangmu's little secret.

Look, the Queen Mother of the West so desperately wants you to stay in her kingdom; she must have fallen for you.

Why don't you just give in to her?

Qi Mo chuckled inwardly twice:

"Then I've 'fallen in love' with you too. Can I dissect you?"

[Ugh, you pervert! You actually coveted my body! Too bad I'm someone you can never have.]

Qi Mo: "..."

Garbage system, just you wait, one day I'll dissect you.

After walking for most of the day, the group returned to the canyon they had visited a few days earlier.

This time, without the King of Ten Thousand Slaves intervening, Qi Mo and the others made their way smoothly.

However, as he walked out of the Grand Canyon, Qi Mo looked back.

Sure enough, he saw that familiar figure.

Wan Nu Wang followed behind the procession, seemingly seeing Qi Mo off.

As if sensing something, the Queen Mother of the West turned around and saw the figure of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves.

She frowned, her gaze shifting back and forth between Qi Mo and the King of Wannu.

She always felt that something had happened between Wan Nu Wang and Qi Mo.

But that's impossible. Qi Mo hasn't left the Zhang clan's territory during this time, so it's impossible for him to have spent any time alone with the King of Ten Thousand Slaves.

She discovered that some things seemed to be slipping out of her control and developing in unpredictable directions.

Qi Mo turned around and met the gaze of the Queen Mother of the West.

The two of them said nothing, yet it seemed as if they had said a lot.

[Tsk tsk tsk, you weren't satisfied with provoking the Queen Mother of the West, now you've provoked the King of Ten Thousand Slaves. Are you going to provoke King Mu of Zhou next?]

[Scumbag, complete scumbag]

Qi Mo was speechless:

"Shut up, these are just my longevity test subjects."

"I have no love for them, only a desire to dissect and study them."

[How perverted! Do you want to rip out their brains and kiss them a few times?]

Qi Mo ignored the system and patted the head of the mutated pheasant's neck.

This stupid system sometimes says some inexplicable things. If you call it a pervert, he thinks the system is a complete pervert!

…………

After more than ten days, Qi Mo and his group finally returned to Tamutuo.

In the past month, Xuan Nu and her subordinates have almost completed the construction of the underground palace.

It's just that some parts need further refinement.

The speed is quite fast!

Inside the palace, Qi Mo looked around and frowned.

This is so plainly made; there's nothing special or exquisite about it.

How about exchanging a book about architecture for the architects of the Queen Mother of the West Palace?

On the throne, the Queen Mother of the West had few demands and was very satisfied with the underground palace.

Although there are no patterns carved on the wall yet.

But you just need to let the sculptor carve it slowly.

Now, what she cares about most and is most concerned about is developing the Corpse Beetle Pill.

After all, according to the records of the "Art of Immortality", the Corpse Beetle Pill is a key link in achieving immortality.

The Queen Mother of the West turned to look at the Mysterious Woman:

"How is the cultivation of the Corpse Beetle King going?"

The Mysterious Woman responded respectfully:

"Report to the Queen Mother of the West, we have already raised several dozen."

The Queen Mother of the West nodded in satisfaction:

"Very well, take those corpse beetle kings to my dark chamber."

She planned to develop the corpse beetle pills herself, as she was not comfortable with letting others get too involved.

After all, this concerns immortality, and she couldn't guarantee that involving others would prevent them from deducing the steps of the "art of immortality."

Moreover, once this matter is leaked, there will be a constant stream of people coveting the "art of immortality" and the divine stone.

It would be far too difficult for the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom alone to protect the "art of immortality" and the divine stone.

"Yes, Queen Mother of the West."

The Mystic Maiden withdrew.

The Queen Mother of the West did not hide this conversation from Qi Mo.

Since Qi Mo was the god who bestowed upon her the "art of immortality," he must have known everything about the making of the Corpse Beetle Pill, so there was no need for him to hide it from her.

Qi Mo gazed at the Queen Mother of the West and slowly said:

"I'm going to cultivate now. Don't disturb me unless it's something very important."

After saying this, he left the palace with his maid.

The Queen Mother of the West looked at Qi Mo's retreating figure with a mixture of helplessness and apprehension in her eyes.

"My Lord, should I believe you?"

"Your sudden arrival at the Queen Mother of the West's palace, bestowing upon her the secret to immortality without making any demands, is truly... unsettling."

"But this may be my only chance to achieve immortality."

"No matter what, we have to give it a try."

Unwilling to accept her fate, she died tragically on the throne a century later.

Therefore, she is determined to achieve immortality and live in this world for countless lifetimes...

Back at his new residence, Qi Mo didn't have to do anything. The maids took the initiative to clean the room and spread animal hides on the bed as a mattress.

The Queen Mother of the West is already researching the Corpse Beetle Pill. At this rate, she should be able to develop it in less than a month.

That old hag is something else; she knows quite a lot.

Immortality, immortality, everyone seeks immortality, but who can truly achieve it?

【I have lifespan pills here. The amount they increase varies depending on the level, some even adding tens of thousands of years. Would you like to buy some?】

Qi Mo glanced at the price of the Longevity Pill recommended by the system and wanted to kill the system.

A pill that increases lifespan by ten years costs ten million points.

For a century-old event, 1 million points are required.

The price of the millennium-old item jumped directly to 10 billion points.

With his few points, he can't even afford a ten-year-old one. Are you sure you're not joking with me?

I can provide you with loan services...

Qi Mo: "Get lost! You want to lend me money at exorbitant interest rates? You think I'm a sucker?!"
