Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

This further reinforces my belief that Chen Yan is truly searching for immortality.

Although everyone now knows that the Nine Gates are searching for immortality, they do not know whether they have found it.

Therefore, in order to achieve immortality, the Nine Gates have been rendered useless; they can no longer gather together to provide more information to everyone.

As for the Wang family, the higher-ups are either dead or still in Chen Yan's hands.

Mr. Wang could not be found at all.

Only by closely following Chen Yan's footsteps can they obtain more clues.

Instead of waiting for Chen Yan to hold another auction with them.

After all, if Chen Yan really found a clue, there's no guarantee that he wouldn't greedily suppress the information himself.

Money and immortality are incomparable.

This is also based on the fact that no one knew that Chen Yan was long-lived.

If Chen Yan wants to save Chen Pi, he must find a way to achieve immortality, because Chen Pi has become too deeply involved and can no longer turn back.

Huo Xiangu knew that Chen Pi had lived a long and healthy life, but for the sake of the Huo family and Huo Xiuxiu, she dared not say anything, not even a single word.

Otherwise, these people, blinded by rage, would have stormed into the Huo family's gates without a second thought.

As Wang Yueban walked, his legs started to ache, so he said as he moved along, "Old Ninth, how much further? My legs are killing me."

If you walk or crawl, this distance is really nothing, but moving around in a squatting position can really make your legs ache.

Not to mention Wang Yueban, Wu Xie's legs were also sore.

The ninth brother, acting as if nothing had happened, said, "Keep going, almost there."

Wang Yueban had no choice but to move around for another ten minutes or so. Then her legs were so sore that she opened her mouth and said, "I..." Let's take a break.

Before she could finish speaking, the passageway beneath Wang Yueban's feet suddenly loosened, and she fell down with a whoosh.

Wu Xie's eyes widened suddenly, and he lunged forward to grab Wang Yueban: "Fatty!"

"Damn it! What's grabbing my foot!"

Wang Yueban and Wu Xie both tried their best to see what was below, but they couldn't see anything.

Wu Xie lost his flashlight while lunging to save Wang Yueban, and now the two of them are completely in the dark and can't see anything.

The ninth brother squeezed through the crowd and reached out to pull Wang Yueban out.

Wang Yue leaned against the wall, panting heavily: "Damn, what is this thing? I feel like my legs are being grabbed by countless hands, and I can't pull them out at all."

"Thanks, Lao Jiu."

Old Nine didn't answer, but shone his flashlight on the area below and said, "This is the human oil from the Mangren Grass."

"What?"

Wu Xie was taken aback, then quickly found the flashlight he had left aside and carefully crouched down at the edge to look below. Wang Yueban also moved closer to Wu Xie.

Below, there's no cliff, and it doesn't look very high.

But below were rows and rows of large vats.

The jar was dark and blurry, and it was impossible to see what it was.

Wang Yueban asked in surprise, "What kind of 'Mangren Grass' oil is this? And what was that thing that grabbed my leg just now?"

Lao Jiu leaned against the wall and calmly looked at Wu Xie: "Your father has seen this thing before. Not only has he seen it, but he has also stepped into it. In the end, he shouted for help, and your grandfather and your second uncle rescued him."

Wu Xie was stunned, staring incredulously at the large vat below: "You mean, this is the thing from the secret room in the ancestral hall of our Wu family's old house?"

"My father knew about this thing all along? Not only did he know, but he also fell in?"

"right."

Lao Jiu looked at Wu Xie with a half-smile: "It's your turn."

Wang Yueban grabbed Wu Xie's arm and looked at Lao Jiu: "Wait, what are you sending Tianzhen to do?"

"Fatty."

Lao Jiu looked at Wang Yueban and Wu Xie and said, "Only Wu Xie can avoid the feeling you just had when he goes in."

"After all, he's been immersed in this stuff since he was a child."

"My body has already developed immunity."

Wang Yueban subconsciously looked at Wu Xie. Wu Xie was silent for a moment, then handed the flashlight to Wang Yueban without hesitation: "I'll go down."

As she spoke, she began to take off her clothes. Wang Yue, holding a flashlight, asked worriedly, "Old Nine, you're not kidding, are you? Are you really okay?"

"Um."

Lao Jiu leaned lazily against the wall, took out a thermos filled with tea from his backpack, unscrewed the lid, took a sip, and said, "Wu Xie, once we're down there, don't overthink it. Relax, and you'll see something."

Wu Xie didn't say anything, but he still carefully came down.

Standing on the edge of the large vat, Wu Xie took a deep breath and looked up to ask, "How tall is this vat? If I jump in, won't I drown?"

"Won't."

Wu Xie swallowed hard, steeled his resolve, and carefully slid down the side of the vat into the large vat.

The fat man is right. Chen Yan won't let himself lose money, so there's no need to kill him in this way.

Once inside the cylinder.

Wu Xie stood in the vat, his heart pounding with fear, but he didn't feel the kind of large hand pulling him that Fatty had described.

"Tianzhen! How are you? How do you feel?"

Wu Xie looked up at the two people above him and said, "I'm fine. I didn't feel like I was being grabbed by a big hand."

Wang Yueban clicked his tongue: "This thing actually recognizes people?"

Lao Jiu sipped his tea and looked at Wu Xie: "It's not that you recognize people, but that you're not a medicine person, so naturally you can't coexist peacefully with these things."

"What am I doing right now? I feel nothing at all."

Old Nine said casually, "No rush, just wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

Wang Yueban looked at Lao Jiu, who calmly said, "Wait a bit. The truth you want to know is a truth that is different from what your Wu family has told you."

What does that mean?

Before Wu Xie could ask, he suddenly felt as if an electric current was shooting through his spine and rushing straight to his head.

The scenery before him had changed, and Wu Xie suddenly saw a man in military uniform.

There were quite a few people around. Zhang Rishan appeared in the frame and looked at the man in military uniform, saying, "Master Buddha, these snakes have all mutated for some reason."

Zhang Dafoye said, "Then we need to find a way. I need to know why these snakes have mutated."

"Yes."

snake????

What kind of snake?

Wu Xie felt dizzy. Were there snakes here?

The scene shifts, and Lao Jiu's face appears before Wu Xie. Wu Xie is stunned, staring at Lao Jiu in front of the bronze door, his hand on the door, saying something, but Wu Xie can't hear him clearly.

The scene then shifts to his grandfather, his third uncle, his second uncle, and his father, sitting together. His grandfather's face is calm, but his tone carries a hint of determination.
