The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

In the desolate underground cave, the seawater once again soaked the entire stone slab. The iron coffin was dragged ashore by everyone with great effort. Even Jin Xuan, who was always incredibly strong, was a little doubtful, "It's so heavy."

"It's not just heavy, it's incredibly heavy." Lin Du glanced at the restrictions above. "Without a specific key, an ordinary person simply cannot budge it."

"Not to mention dragging them up."

Unfortunately, these people are all normal people. Mo Lin and Ni Jinxuan have been training in strength since childhood. As for the rest, not to mention Xia Tianwu and Yuan Ye, even Lin Du, whose body is obviously weaker than that of an average person, is quite strong and has explosive power.

Although the coffin was protected by a curse, they still managed to drag it up.

It's all about sheer strength.

"The people in Fusifang really know how to hide things."

Yan Qing sighed, "Sure enough, when you have a large family business, you have to come up with some schemes and tricks to hide your assets."

"They hide in the ravines, they hide in the sea, where do we, the Supreme Sect, hide?" Yuan Ye asked curiously.

Lin Du: ...Don't talk about it. There's nothing to hide. It's all stuffed in the storeroom. We've spent it all, we haven't been frugal at all.

It took a group of people half a day to finally disassemble the coffin.

"We can open the coffin now!!!" Yuan Ye shouted, raising his arms.

"Wait a minute," Xia Tian stopped everyone. "Be careful of the poisonous fog, wear masks."

We strictly followed the precautions set by our junior master: wearing gloves when unlocking the door and a mask when opening the coffin.

"Really?" Yuan Ye was taken aback. "Then aren't they afraid of poisoning themselves too?"

"Prevention is better than cure. There are a lot of toxins on the surface of the coffin." Xia Tian said as he put on a mask to prepare to open the coffin.

Everyone simultaneously looked down at their hands. "Did you wear gloves when you were carrying the coffin in the water?"

"I didn't?"

……

Lin Du fell silent, and everyone began washing their hands and taking out their pills.

"It's okay, just don't drink the water from that area, a quick wash will do," Xia Tianwu instructed.

Fortunately, everyone who went down had set up a protective spiritual energy shield, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just to be on the safe side, they still swallowed the pills.

Just as Lin Du started to open the coffin, she inadvertently saw Yue Han grabbing something in the air, her eyes sparkling.

"Yuan Ye! Yan Qing! Look, insects are falling from the sky! So many delicious insects!"

Lin Du: ...This is bad.

Several people rushed forward and hurriedly restrained the young master, who was running around aimlessly before finally reverting to his original form. They forcibly pried open his beak and stuffed in an antidote pill and a calming pill.

"What this person eats, will it work for the peacock?" Yuan Ye pressed down on half of the peacock's wing, feeling that the child was a bit too strong and he could hardly hold him down anymore.

"Theoretically, it's useful for spiritual practice." Xia Tian pondered for a moment, "But in reality, I've never been a veterinarian."

Seeing that Yue Han had calmed down a bit, everyone finally let go.

Lin Du looked at the iron coffin, which wasn't heavily corroded by seawater, and then suddenly frowned. "Tell me," he said, "don't you guys think this iron coffin looks familiar?"

"Huh? It does look familiar. I didn't notice it when it was underwater." Yuan Ye turned his head and looked at it for a while.

Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, then clapped her hands, "That! That secret realm!"

"We inexplicably drew the Liyang Ancient City Secret Realm in the Central Plains Grand Competition!" Ni Jinxuan looked at Lin Du's face and remembered, "Back then, it was Yuan Ye who opened the iron coffin!"

"Then what... a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost is inside here?" Yuan Ye hissed, recalling the days when he was pressing someone's coffin lid down while playing the xiqin.

"Wake up! These days, a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost is nothing more than a slap in the face to us." Yan Qing slapped him on the head.

Just then, the dizzy young master of the peacock stood up, suddenly walked to the iron coffin, and with a whoosh, spread his tail feathers.

Lin Du, who was pondering the possible deeper meaning hidden within this: ...

Yuan Ye shoved the dazed thing aside, but who knew that the peacock had moved to another spot and suddenly opened again.

The members of the Supreme Sect were worried that it would inhale the toxins again, so they tried to drive it away with a kick each. Yue Han was persistent, and whenever it was driven away, it would move to another place and suddenly spread its tail feathers again.

Lin Du was amazed. It was like the colorful fans in the hands of a square dance team, opening and closing in a flash, then opening again after a few bouncy steps, never giving up.

"It's not even the cub's mating season yet, it's not spring," Yuan Ye pondered. "What kind of poison has this function?"

Yan Qing hissed, "What are you thinking! This is clearly a peacock performing a dance, look, this child is even spinning around!"

"I think I roughly know what's in this coffin." Lin Du seemed to understand after Yan Qing's reminder. "In ancient times, the peacock swallowed the Buddha and was later made the Buddha Mother. The totem of Yunmolu was the ancient peacock. This is probably... the Buddha Mother's..."

"Spine." The space rippled slightly, and a jade-colored figure appeared before everyone.

Wei Zhi looked at Lin Du and said, "You really do love reading."

Lin Du nodded slightly, "How could I dare? Master has already gone ahead."

Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Wei Zhi's eyes. "One's age shouldn't be wasted."

Lin Du's gaze fell on him. "Master, you're not going down to retrieve it yourself, are you just waiting for us to go down and retrieve it so you can make do?"

Wei Zhi coughed lightly, "Well, we haven't found it yet."

Who would have thought that Fusifang would have a coffin hanging underwater? He had already searched the entire island thoroughly.

"You want that section of the spine?" Lin Du asked curiously. "Why?"

Wei Zhi raised his eyes, his gaze passing through the crowd and landing on Lin Du. After a few moments, he spoke, "Perhaps it's because my spine isn't strong enough."

Lin Du: ...?

Wei Zhi stood still in the shadows, finishing his remaining words, "I can't support the future of Yunmolu, nor can I support the future of Dongming Realm."

The sound was very soft, almost a soliloquy, and even the extremely perceptive Lin Du did not hear it amidst Yue Han's constant flapping and the surging waves of the sea.

"Spine is fine," Lin Du said with a smile. "Same as always, professional team, satisfaction guaranteed, cash on delivery."

Wei Zhi nodded. "Of course."

Lin Du was satisfied and began to work together with Yan Qing to break the specially made magic weapon chain that contained array formations and traces of a weapon refiner.

"Alright! Jinxuan, Molin, open the coffin!"

The two men simultaneously kicked their feet, and the coffin lid was completely kicked open.

Inside was a skeleton that had been reduced to bones, surrounded by countless rare gems, magical treasures, and even scrolls of calligraphy and paintings.

Strangely, where the abdomen should have been, a section of spine with a faint glow was quietly suspended, yet the spine of the corpse was intact.

That was undoubtedly a piece of Buddha's bone.

"Cash on delivery." Wei Zhi tossed her six seashells from afar. "That's all we have."

Lin Du understood; he was giving the money based on the number of people.

Upon seeing the Buddha's relics, Yue Han spread her wings wide and began to dance gracefully on tiptoe.

Ni Jinxuan asked in a low voice, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to give away the spine of someone's ancestor in front of the young master of the Peacock Clan?"

Lin Du nodded. "You're right. Let's share some of the malachite here with him."

At least I went to sea with them, so even if I didn't achieve anything, I still put in the effort.

Yan Qing suddenly noticed a jade slip. He picked it up, glanced at it, and paused, then exclaimed, "Junior Uncle! Do you remember that statue and the incense burner in the ancient city of Liyang?"

Lin Du suddenly turned his head, a weight lifted from his shoulders. "What's wrong?"
