Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Hearing this, Sheng Shengman paused slightly,

Turning my head to look at the gap in the middle of the platform, it was as if I could see the coffin below through the ground.

Curiosity also emerged in their eyes.

Black-backed Old Six, however, said with some surprise, "Young Master Zhou,

So, after this,

Is this the end of the matter that Zhang Qishan started?

Zhou Nanbei shook his head slightly:

"How could it be so easy? There's more to this story."

After that,

Those members of that organization began to retaliate, and the men of the Xie family began to die one after another.

In the end, only eight-year-old Xie Yuhua remained. And if Xie Yuhua hadn't become the Second Master's apprentice during this time...

Plus,

Some other reasons,

The Xie family is probably long gone; there's no way the Xie family name would still exist today.

He paused, then continued, "And this isn't over yet."

Although the organization "it" collapsed due to the changing times, one of its constituent forces still exists, and even now, the Nine Gates are still infiltrating this force.

Even manipulation.

Black-backed Old Six clicked his tongue twice: "Tsk tsk, luckily I was a pawn."

Otherwise,

That's really going to be tough.

Zhou Nanbei nodded in agreement: "If that's the case..."

Sixth Master, you really do deserve the title.

"A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise." These days, among the Nine Gates, you're practically the only one who doesn't have one.

Every other one

They are all still under its surveillance, and even infiltration and manipulation, such as Huo Xiangu's daughter, Huo Ling.

Have you heard of Sister Slow?

Sheng Sheng Man nodded slightly: "Of course."

That is,

The successor groomed by Huo Xiangu, unfortunately, later mysteriously disappeared.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly:

"This is it, this is the work of the force called 'it'."

And I also know that,

Huo Ling's current situation is not good, and the situation of the other second-generation members of the Nine Gates is not good either.

Those who were unlucky would have died long ago.

Those who are lucky enough to be alive now are merely clinging to life; it won't be long before they turn into monsters.

Sheng Sheng Man had some doubts:

"monster?"

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "Yes, a monster."

If that's the case,

But that's a long-term issue. Let me just give you the result: their organization was experimenting with an elixir of immortality.

I've fed them all.

The so-called elixir of immortality is nothing more than an elixir containing a sleeping corpse beetle, whose function is...

After eating,

They slumber for two thousand years in a location that can suppress the awakening of the corpse beetle, during which time they will continuously molt.

Until two thousand years later,

If you awaken, you can live forever.

However, the prerequisite is finding materials or a location that can suppress the awakening of the corpse beetle; otherwise, it will begin to mutate.

Bones, or rather the body,

During this period, it will emit an unusual fragrance, until the very end.

Then,

To become a monster that is neither human nor ghost.

This monster also has another name: "Forbidden Woman".

Upon hearing this, Black-backed Old Six's expression twitched.

Human experimentation?

"My God, thank goodness I died young, otherwise my descendants probably wouldn't have fared any better."

Zhou Nanbei raised an eyebrow:

"You think it's just the Huo family? Chen Pi's daughter..."

Qi Yu and others from the Qi family,

These people were all fed corpse beetle pills.

Sheng Shengman, however, quickly realized what was happening.

Suddenly, he asked, "Little Nanbei, so what do you mean?"

I wonder where Huo Ling is now?

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "I know, she's not doing well right now."

But the world can save her.

There are probably only three methods.

Black-backed Sixth Brother didn't seem to care, after all, he didn't have that much of a relationship with the Nine Gates.

He didn't kick them while they were down.

That was all because he was loyal; what he really cared about was the elixir of immortality.

So he asked, "Young Master Zhou, if that's the case, as long as we consume the Corpse Beetle Pill..."

Find the sleeping location,

Can one truly achieve immortality by sleeping peacefully for two thousand years?

Zhou Nanbei scoffed:

"These are just the most basic conditions. Secondly, you also need to meet two other conditions. First, you must guarantee during this period..."

Your brain cells do not die.

Second, you must not lose your ability to think.

Once you've met these conditions, when it comes to the issue of awakening, you still have to rely on probability.

About one hundred people

"Maybe one of them can be woken up inside."

He paused, then added, "Even the three most basic ones above..."

It can be said that both are extremely difficult.

Moreover, the conditions I mentioned later,

But it's not that no one has ever completed it; however, even if they did, there's a fatal flaw: they couldn't leave that place.

Upon hearing this, Black-backed Old Six

He couldn't help but curl his lip: "That's really a waste of money."

I finally woke up.

Regardless of how arduous the process, if you end up trapped in a tiny space, you might as well die sooner.

Eighteen years later, he'll be a hero again.

Zhou Nanbei said with a playful tone, "What do you think?"

Is that all?

Black-backed Old Six took a step back: "Young Master Zhou,"

Isn't that enough?

"It's already this bad, and there's more?"

Zhou Nanbei scoffed: "The worst off is still..."

Having endured two thousand years of solitude,

During this time, no one speaks to you, and you cannot move, yet you still possess the ability to think.

That's the most terrifying thing.

Those who survived it, most of them became psychologically disturbed, and in the end...

Even if you're lucky enough to wake up and find yourself trapped in that confined space, tsk tsk, who can guarantee they won't go insane?

Upon hearing this,

Sheng Shengman and Black-backed Old Six both shuddered simultaneously.

Just thinking about the scene,

Tsk tsk, that sends chills down my spine.

Black-backed Old Six quickly spoke up: "Stop talking!"

Stop talking.

"Young Master Zhou, killing someone is just a matter of a nod, but what you're saying is truly chilling."

Sheng Sheng Man nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Xiao Nanbei,"

Tell me the three ways to save Huo Ling.

Zhou Nanbei smiled slightly:

"Alright, the three ways to save Huo Ling boil down to this:..."

To get rid of the dormant carrion beetle in its head,

Take it out.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. After all, although brain surgery is quite dangerous, it's better than dying.

But the difficulty lies in...

Corpse beetles possess an instinctive consciousness; once they sense danger, their minds begin to function.

At that time, tsk tsk,

At best, they will die; at worst, they will turn into blood corpses.

As for the method to save Huo Ling

The first type is a martial arts master who has cultivated a breathing technique with gentle characteristics, reached a state of spiritual perfection, and has accumulated experience over many years.

The corpse beetle was immobilized through its head.

Then, using refined internal energy, he crushed the corpse beetle's brain through its skull, killing it instantly.

In conjunction with craniotomy surgery

Remove the body.

This is the first method, but it is extremely difficult.

First, the Huo family couldn't afford a master of that level; second, I had never heard of such a person in my time, not even in my grandfather's notes.

There are no records of such masters.

As for the second option, it is to seek out the direct descendants of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has a history spanning thousands of years.

They had long known about this type of method of achieving immortality and had even tried to use it, but none of them had succeeded in reviving.

But over the years...

The Zhang family might have a solution, but I'm not entirely sure whether they do.

Black-backed Old Six thought for a moment.

"And what about the last one?"

Before Zhou Nanbei could speak, Sheng Shengman said with a smile, "Sixth Master,"

That's an unnecessary question. Have you forgotten how Grandpa Zhou gave it to you?

"Have the handprints been removed?"

Black-backed Old Six clapped his hands: "That's right, in this world..."

What could be more powerful than spatial energy?

"That's much more suitable for resolving this kind of thing."

He then looked at Zhou Nanbei:

"Young Master Zhou, why don't you take this opportunity to subdue the Huo family?"

Although the Huo family consisted entirely of women

But these women are all ruthless; if they could be subdued, they would be a formidable force.

Zhou Nanbei shook his head slightly:

"If Sister Huo can offer a reward, I might be willing to save her."

But subduing the Huo family

Let's forget about it.

Sheng Sheng Man asked with some doubt: "Xiao Nanbei,

Why is that?
