The Muchen Pearl?!

Yin Nanfeng and Wang Xiansheng looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

One of them was the heir to the Crescent Moon Hotel, and the other was the top leader of the Northern School, yet neither of them had ever heard of the Muchen Pearl.

Seeing that the two were completely confused, Li Changsheng didn't keep them in suspense and casually told them the origin of the Muchen Pearl.

"The Muchen Pearl also has a name, called Phoenix Gallbladder! Legend has it that King Wu Ding discovered this pearl in a mountain and also realized that Phoenix Gallbladder possessed mysterious power. If one could unlock and control Phoenix Gallbladder, one could achieve immortality."

"But after the Zhou Dynasty, the phoenix gall disappeared. King Wen of Zhou then used the Eight Trigrams to calculate the phoenix gall's whereabouts. The trigrams were then inscribed on the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book!"

Hearing this, Yin Nanfeng asked with some surprise, "Can the Phoenix Gallbladder really grant immortality?"

"cannot!"

However, Yin Nanfeng did not expect that Li Changsheng would not only answer her, but also answer very decisively!

Yin Nanfeng subconsciously pressed further, "Why do you say it's impossible? It seems that emperors throughout history have all searched for the whereabouts of the Phoenix Gallbladder to varying degrees!"

"I said no because I know the true origin of the Muchen Pearl!"

Upon hearing this, both Yin Nanfeng and Wang Xiansheng were stunned, and then became excited!

Even Wang Xiansheng, though he had never heard of the Muchen Pearl, had heard of the legend of the Phoenix Gallbladder and knew it was a divine object from almost mythical tales. Its origins were definitely extraordinary!

However, just as the two were filled with anticipation, Li Changsheng shook his head.

"Although I know its origin, I cannot tell you, otherwise I would be harming you."

"I can only tell you that the Muchen Pearl was originally the eye of a creature! That creature was incredibly powerful, far more powerful than you can imagine!"

"Even so, that creature died! That's why I said the Muchen Pearl cannot grant immortality, because even the owner of the Muchen Pearl died, let alone a human!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Nanfeng and Wang Xiansheng felt their hearts sway, unable to extricate themselves. Although Li Changsheng didn't reveal too many secrets, the bits and pieces he gleaned were enough to spark their imaginations.

What kind of creature could be so powerful as to be unimaginable?

Right outside this tomb, there is a human-faced spider monster the size of a small mountain!

But that monster couldn't even defeat Li Changsheng's pet, clearly far inferior to the owner of the Muchen Pearl.

More importantly, Li Changsheng didn't even reveal the name of this creature...

Wang Xiansheng asked himself, having seen and learned so much over the years—from Yin-nourished rice dumplings to mutated fish kings—he simply couldn't imagine anything that would cause trouble just by knowing its name…

However, despite not understanding it, Wang Xiansheng didn't ask any further questions.

It is unknown how much time has passed, but after everyone had taken a nap on the spot.

Suddenly, one of Yin Nanfeng's servants rushed over and whispered, "Miss, I just heard some faint noises coming from the walls of the underground palace."

Upon hearing this, Yin Nanfeng frowned and immediately ordered his men to inspect the walls.

But after everyone inspected it, they were surprised to find that the wall, which was originally solid, had become hollow. When they knocked on it, it made a dull thud, completely different from before.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. The waiter from the Crescent Hotel who had been in charge of the inspection widened his eyes and hurriedly explained, "Impossible! I really checked it very carefully just now. The wall behind it is definitely solid. You can't even insert a Luoyang shovel."

Not only the staff at the Crescent Moon Hotel, but also the staff under Wang Xiansheng nodded in agreement.

"Boss. I checked it myself, there's definitely no hidden room behind the wall!"

Wang Xiansheng frowned, then shook his head and said, "It's none of your business. There must be something wrong with this underground palace. Let's get to work and dig open the hollow walls first!"

The group of workers breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and immediately began digging along the six walls.

This time, the Luoyang shovel easily pierced through the hole and quickly dug a hole!

The hole led to another burial chamber, and the group was overjoyed and quickly sped up their digging.

On the other side, Yin Nanfeng looked at Li Changsheng, chuckled, and asked, "Boss Li probably already knew, right? Could you tell us why?"

"The main burial chamber is a ghost tomb, just like a ghost ship, existing between reality and illusion, and only revealing itself at specific times."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiansheng suddenly realized what was going on.

"So the reason we couldn't find the tomb chamber before was simply because it hadn't appeared yet?"

"You could say that!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiansheng was now truly in awe of Li Chunfeng.

An ordinary person would probably be terrified at the sight of a tomb that could disappear. But Li Chunfeng was not afraid at all; instead, he used this characteristic to create a near-perfect mechanism!

The best defense is no defense!

Similarly, the best mechanism is no mechanism at all!

Amidst their sighs, Wang Xiansheng and Yin Nanfeng entered the excavated cave one after the other.

Behind the cave entrance was another hexagonal underworld palace.

Unlike other places, this temple has no spring on the high platform in the middle, but instead a huge stone coffin!

Seeing this, Wang Xiansheng and Yin Nanfeng's men all got excited!

After going through countless hardships, they finally found their goal!

However, Wang Xiansheng remained calm. He raised his hand to stop his men from approaching, and instructed them, "Everyone be careful, don't act rashly! Check the surroundings for any dangers first!"

With Wang Xiansheng's reminder, everyone calmed down and began to check the surrounding situation.

The surrounding six walls are also decorated with murals of immortals and palace maids, depicting the equally noble life after death and the scene of ascending to immortality.

It can be said that, apart from the coffin on the high platform in the middle, everything else is exactly the same, it is simply a replica of the previous underground palace!

After checking everything and confirming that there was no danger around, Wang Xiansheng led his men toward the stone coffin!

But when they reached the high platform, they discovered that the stone coffin was perfectly fitted together, almost as a single piece!

Around the stone coffin, however, there was a rotating stone disc!

Wang Xiansheng frowned as he looked at the stone disc above, saying, "This seems to be a star chart, corresponding to the constellations in the sky. It seems that to open the stone coffin, we need to decipher this star chart."

Yin Nanfeng gritted his teeth and asked, "Can you untie Wang's head?"

"I'll give it a try, it shouldn't be too difficult."

After saying that, Wang Xiansheng did not rush to make a move. Instead, he circled the stone coffin and examined all four stone plates thoroughly. Only after he had memorized them did he begin to make a move!
