General of the Heavens

Chen Yulou arrived with about a hundred men carrying lanterns. They saw Ning Chen and Partridge Whistle standing beside a huge bronze alchemy furnace.

The six-winged centipede was already dead at their feet. The group of Unloading Ridge Warriors were terrified when they saw the well filled with ancient corpses and jade coffins.

"You're back!"

"Yes, I'm back!"

Hong Gu Niang was both surprised and delighted.

Before this, Partridge Whistle insisted on going down the well to rescue Ning Chen, even prepared not to return. Several hours passed, and Red Girl still thought…

Seeing the girl in red looking anxious, so different from her usual dashing self, Partridge Whistle felt a pang of heartache for her.

Chen Yulou moved closer to Ning Chen. No matter how he looked at it, Ning Chen didn't even have a scratch. Was this six-winged centipede really that weak?

However, no matter what, it's always a good thing that the two have returned and the three have reunited. If the timing weren't wrong, they would definitely drink until they drop.

Partridge Whistle and Ning Chen recounted the whole story of what happened after they fell into the Dan Well, leaving even Chen Yulou in awe.

"Haha! This kind of monstrous beast, which has become a spirit, was actually tricked to death by my third brother. It's truly a legendary tale! The lineage of the Fa Qiu should be revived in your hands!"

Chen Yulou understood the dangers involved; if it were him, he would have had little chance of escaping, let alone killing the six-winged centipede.

However, although Chen Yulou felt genuinely proud of the two of them, he still felt a slight sense of gloom that he did not show.

When it comes to tomb raiders, there are the Faqiu, Mojin, Banshan, and Xieling groups. The Banshan Taoist, Faqiu General, and Mojin Captain have historically been few in number.

However, in terms of the strength of tomb raiding, the "Faqiu" and "Mojin" are naturally the strongest, even surpassing the "Banshan" and "Xieling" factions.

Previously, the group of Unloading Ridge Warriors didn't take this seriously, but now that they have personally witnessed General Ning Chen of the Tomb Raiders and Partridge Whistle of the Mountain Moving Taoist not only seizing the inner core, but also destroying the Six-Winged Centipede, they are all convinced.

Chen Yulou was happy, but he figured it would be very difficult to get rid of the huge label of being last place.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle felt frustrated by their current predicament, as the true underground palace of the Ping Mountain Tomb had not yet been found.

No Yuan dynasty nobles were buried in this Dan Palace and Dan Well. Although the burial goods were extremely luxurious and scattered everywhere, it was still a dubious tomb.

Now, the Tomb Raiders, Mountain Movers, and Ridge Unloaders have all gathered at Ping Mountain, and the Ridge Unloaders on Changsheng Mountain are all competitive and eager to win. Which of them is willing to lose?

So they all gritted their teeth and held their breath, determined not to give up until they had looted the ancient tomb at Ping Mountain, even if everyone else was dead.

After this battle, Ning Chen realized his own strength. If it weren't for his Golden Eyes, he would probably have been killed in less than a round.

If time allowed, wouldn't he also want to survive until the level cap is reached? But the storyline only has so much time, and Ning Chen didn't have the time to learn proper tomb raiding skills.

Ning Chen deeply understood the dangers of Ping Mountain. He made up his mind that he had to speed up the process and at least complete the system task before making any further moves.

Now Ning Chen has two major tasks to accomplish!

Firstly, the burial goods in the Danjing well were of various kinds, ranging from gold and jade treasures and bronze tripods to pottery jars, porcelain, and jade coffins. For Chen Yulou and others, these were just things to exchange for guns and cannons.

But for Ning Chen, these burial objects were still the source of spiritual energy for him to absorb, since the process of Ning Chen absorbing spiritual energy had been interrupted by the six-winged centipede.

Now, Ning Chen decided to absorb some more spiritual energy. He estimated that he had only developed a tiny fraction of the Golden Eye's abilities.

Ning Chen sat cross-legged under the bronze alchemy furnace that had saved him, closed his eyes and activated his Golden Eyes. If he kept his eyes open, the unusual state of his Golden Eyes would probably be noticed by everyone.

Ning Chen, adopting the attitude of "better to avoid trouble," immediately began absorbing spiritual energy. In an instant, the various ancient artifacts within the pill well seemed to resonate with each other.

Those who were operating the treasure were startled, but fortunately the anomaly only lasted for a moment, and they scratched their heads and did not investigate further.

The group of Unloading Ridge Warriors, along with Luo Laowai's men, all wore black veils and, under Chen Yulou's command, eagerly rummaged through the pile of corpses.

Especially among Luo Laowai's men, who were mostly drug addicts, they were open to any kind of business that involved making money simply by turning over corpses.

These people first smashed open all the coffins, then pried off the gold and jade from the coffin lids. After that, they used all sorts of strange tools, such as shovels, hooks, and iron shovels.

Some ruthless people don't even spare corpses; they cut off mouths with knives, rip out intestines with cymbals, and use any means necessary to steal pearls and jade!

The methods of tomb raiding used by the Unloading Ridge Warriors are quite different from those of the Grave Robbers and the Tomb Raiders. The Grave Robbers and the Tomb Raiders mainly rely on touching, which means searching the corpses with their hands.

The Xieling sect got the word "Xie," which means to dismantle. Even if the corpse had gold teeth embedded in it, they would not let it go and would dismantle them all.

Even Ning Chen couldn't bear to watch such cruel methods. It seems that the ancient emperors and generals had good reason to hate tomb raiders so much.

Imagine, who wouldn't be angry if they were dug up and desecrated after their death? Chen Yulou, who is now full of vigor, will fall into poverty and destitution in the future. Isn't this because he trusted his lineage and went too far?

On the contrary, the tomb raiding and grave robbing traditions show signs of a resurgence...

Cause and effect are cyclical, the Great Dao is immortal, and destiny is predetermined. However, Ning Chen can't care about these things now. His whole body is enveloped in spiritual energy, and the veins on his forehead are bulging, obviously he is under great pressure.

Some people went up to investigate, but were stopped by Partridge Whistle. Chen Yulou looked at Ning Chen with a gleam in his eyes.

"Brother Partridge Whistle, is Third Brother practicing the legendary Taoist internal alchemy?" Chen Yulou asked Partridge Whistle, noticing that steam was occasionally rising from Ning Chen's head, a situation resembling the legendary Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

Although Partridge Whistle used his identity as a Taoist priest to commit tomb raiding, his understanding of Taoism was far superior to that of an outsider like myself.

"I can't say for sure. I saw my third brother break several bones when he fell down the well, but he sat cross-legged like this for a while and miraculously recovered!"

The two exchanged a glance and then fell silent. Everyone has secrets, and if Ning Chen was willing, he would naturally tell them; if he wasn't, could they force him to?

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Chen opened his eyes. In an instant, his pupils changed from two to one, a flash of golden light passed by, and his eyes became deep again.

"Haha, I didn't expect to gain so much from absorbing spiritual energy this time. My Golden Eyes have improved to a new level."

This also significantly improved my physical abilities; perhaps now, in terms of speed and strength alone, I'm not much worse than my older brothers.

Ning Chen was not exaggerating. His body, constantly tempered by the spiritual energy of the Golden Eyes, was already far stronger than that of ordinary people.

Ning Chen's only shortcoming now is the skill level of the two, but given time, he can learn it with ease.

"Ding! Third check-in successful. Check-in location: Danjing Immortal Palace. The three-check-in system task has been completed, and the reward has been issued. Please check it in time."

Ning Chen smiled. This was the second thing. The task reward was only issued after three sign-ins. He had finally waited for this moment!
