Xu Yuan strode into the stone gate, and Qingzhen behind him glanced at his junior brother: "Follow me."

Without the slightest hesitation, Qingxuan followed behind his senior brother and continued forward.

He grew up with Qingzhen, and their relationship was more like that of father and son than fellow apprentices. He had absolute trust in Qingzhen.

Qingben and Qingbei were younger. They exchanged a timid glance, wanting to follow but afraid of encountering danger.

"What are you two standing there for?"

Qingxuan stepped through the stone gate and looked at the two of them: "When did your senior brother ever harm you? Don't forget why we came here."

At Qingxuan's prompting, Qingben helped Qingbei and followed.

They didn't want to end up like the bones on the ground.

"careful."

As soon as the two stepped through the stone gate, they heard a startled cry from the Muslim brother in front of them.

Suddenly looking up, a red blood skull enveloped in a cloud of black mist lunged at Xu Yuan, who was walking ahead.

"What is this?"

The two people who had just stepped through the stone gate froze in terror, having never seen anything so bizarre before.

"A blood-red poison formed from the condensation of resentment and evil energy from the ground."

Xu Yuan stared seriously at the approaching black mist, then subconsciously reached for his waist, only to realize that his clothes were burned and he had no talismans on him.

Do you have any talismans?

"have."

Qingzhen pulled out two talismans from her person and tossed them to Xu Yuan, her face full of worry: "What should we do?"

"Stand still and breathe steadily, otherwise it will sense your fear and try to devour you."

Xu Yuan gave a brief explanation, then suddenly threw out the talisman in his hand. As if spotting prey, the blood-red, sinister poison rapidly unleashed its malevolent aura, sweeping towards the talisman.

The red skull was the center of the blood-red poison. As Xu Yuan watched it approach the talisman, he suddenly pointed his sword at it, and the talisman instantly burst into flames, fiercely burning the black poison.

"This…"

Qingbei was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost screamed, but fortunately Qingben reacted quickly and covered his mouth.

"Don't speak."

The condensed, malevolent energy burned like black cotton, with tiny flames falling to the ground.

The startled red skull, pecked by flames, quickly dodged. Noticing that it was Wishing who was causing trouble, it bared its blood-red teeth and charged straight at Wishing.

"Watch out, it's coming."

Xu Yuan remained calm, raising his sword finger above his head and gently rotating it, as an invisible force slowly rippled outwards.

bang...

The crimson skeleton crashed into the wall of power, flew backward, spun in mid-air, and immediately returned to attack.

"That's really tough."

Xu Yuan muttered something to himself, and the power in his sword finger increased. This time, he didn't defend but attacked.

The true energy transformed into a sharp arrow that shot out, heading straight for the blood-red skull's brow.

"Senior brother, what kind of kung fu is that? It's amazing!"

Kiyomoto stared at Xu Yuan's dazzling actions, his mouth agape in astonishment.

Qingxuan, protecting his two junior brothers, squinted and said, "This is true qi. I didn't expect him to have such profound true qi at such a young age. He truly deserves to be a senior brother from Mount Tailing."

"True Qi? He has such powerful True Qi at his age?"

Kiyomoto, curious, then saw something else unbelievable and pointed ahead: "What's that?"

Qingxuan looked in the direction he pointed and saw a cauldron suddenly appear above Xu Yuan's head, spinning faster under the power.

All the evil energy surrounding the blood-red skull was absorbed into the bronze cauldron. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Yuan threw out another talisman, which struck the blood-red skull squarely between the eyebrows. A flash of fire appeared, and the blood-red skull instantly turned gray, transforming into a wisp of gas that entered the bronze cauldron.

The bronze cauldron fell back into Xu Yuan's hands. Qingzhen and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the danger had passed. They quickly came to Xu Yuan's side and looked at the bronze cauldron in Xu Yuan's hands with curiosity.

"Is this some kind of magical artifact?"

"It's just an ordinary alchemy cauldron, its full name is the Ancient Qi Gathering Cauldron."

Xu Yuan explained softly, and the bronze cauldron was turned upside down and shook slightly, instantly dispelling the evil energy inside.

"As expected of a top student from Mount Tailing, I admire you greatly."

Qingzhen bowed to Xu Yuan and said, "If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't know what to do."

"It's all thanks to your talisman."

"But where did you store this bronze cauldron?"

Qingzhen, Qingxuan, and the other two looked Xu Yuan up and down curiously, wanting to ask the same question.

Xu Yuan's shirt is gone, and a bronze cauldron has inexplicably appeared. Could he have some kind of storage ring like the one described in the book?

Xu Yuan smiled calmly, and under the watchful eyes of Qingzhen and the others, he unbuckled his belt and stuffed the bronze cauldron inside.

The four Muslims exchanged glances upon seeing this scene, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

So you hid the thing in your crotch? You really know how to find a good spot.

Qingbei, even more curious, tilted her head and asked, "Aren't you afraid of damaging that area?"

Xu Yuan responded without hesitation: "It's okay, yin and yang are in balance, it can even nourish me."

Do you want to give it a try?

Qingbei wanted to give it a try, but after thinking about it, she waved her hand and refused.

"Look, there's light ahead." Qingzhen looked at the narrow passage ahead.

Without wasting any time, they continued forward, passing through a narrow passage where coffins appeared one after another.

If you casually brush aside the soil, you'll find some rusty swords and shovels on the ground.

"There's a Luoyang shovel here, so tomb raiders must have been here."

Xu Yuan glanced at the things the halal had picked up and stood down next to the coffin.

He noticed that the pattern on the coffin was exactly the same as the coffin that had blocked his way before.

"This must have been dug up by tomb raiders."

"They didn't take it with them, and they lost their lives here."

Xu Yuan walked around the area again and found that the layout of the place was quite elaborate.

Boom…

Another muffled thud, the ground beneath their feet shook, and a coffin that was already half-open was shaken open, revealing beams of light inside.

Qingbei curiously leaned forward and peeked inside.

"My God, Senior Brother, there are so many gold and silver treasures inside."

"No wonder these people risked their lives to get in. If they could take this out, they would never have to worry about anything for the rest of their lives."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab something from inside the pipe.

"Do not move."

Xu Yuan shouted a reminder, but it was too late; Qing Bei had already grabbed the gold and silver jewelry inside.

"It's so beautiful."

Qingbei looked at the thing in her hand, and her mouth watered.

"It's okay, I was just taking a look... uh..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt as if something was gripping his neck, and a strong feeling of suffocation came over him, turning his face blue and purple.

"Junior brother." Qingben wanted to go over and check.

"Don't go over there."

Xu Yuan reminded everyone again, "Don't touch anything here."

"Qingbei".

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qingbei, who was holding gold and silver jewelry, vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye, turning into a pile of black ash, with only the jewelry remaining intact at his feet.

"Junior brother?"

The three of them, including Kiyomoto, cried out in grief and stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move.

Qingzhen shook his head helplessly: "I told you long ago, greed is no good. Junior Brother Qingbei was killed by his greed."
