Chapter 2025 Gall Crystal
There were regular fluctuations coming from within the Qianjun Ring, which jumped at regular intervals. It was as if there was a beating heart in the space, which was aroused from silence by an unknown existence deep in the mausoleum.
Qin Sang had no idea what the Qianjun Ring had sensed. After concentrating for a while, he did not feel summoned, so he judged that the other party should not be a living creature. Otherwise, Qin Sang would have to carefully consider whether this was a blessing or a curse.
Seeing that there was no danger in the tomb passage and that the faded murals on the walls did not possess any power, Pei Gongsheng and Young Master Xin walked towards the front of the tomb passage.
Qin Sang still walked at the back.
Before, he didn't want to be involved in the storm, so he kept his promise and fulfilled the agreement with Young Master Xin, as a way to repay the Xin family's cultivators for their contribution in exploring the way.
The situation took an unexpected turn and it was impossible for him to extricate himself. This place was related to the Qianjun Ring and it was possible that it had fallen off from the Ziwei Palace. He must find out the truth.
What is curious is how the Xin family found this place. Could it be that the Xin family also obtained a treasure in the Ziwei Palace that has a similar function to the Qianjun Ring, and thus found this place?
However, Young Master Xin did not have anything on him that could react to the Qianjun Ring.
Qin Sang narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the backs of Young Master Xin and Pei Gongsheng.
The situation was unclear, so he would definitely not reveal his purpose and was prepared to wait and see. Even without Pei Gongsheng, he did not intend to ask Young Master Xin directly. Young Master Xin dared to invite the Void Refining cultivators to explore this place together, so he must have her to rely on. The Xin family could produce so many Spiritual Transformation cultivators, and the family foundation was not shallow.
'Boom boom boom...'
Everyone deliberately stepped harder, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the long tomb passage, breaking the silence. But the front of the tomb passage was still quiet, and there were no forks in the road, so they walked to the end of the tomb passage very smoothly.
A dazzling white light came from the end, sweeping away the darkness in the tomb passage.
They stopped and through the exit of the tomb passage, they could see part of the area outside, which was actually a field of lush green grass.
These are clumps of water plants growing on the water surface. The grass leaves are dense. The water surface does not seem deep, and there is sand underneath. This kind of environment is very common in Duizhou. I didn't expect to see it here again.
The water surface was calm, without even a ripple. It had been so long since we entered the mausoleum, and it had remained so quiet, not like there was any danger at all.
The more this happened, the more alert everyone became. They stopped where they were and carefully sent their spiritual senses to explore outside the tomb passage.
The scene outside was surprising. It was a big lake. The water surface of the entire lake was as shallow as the entrance to the tomb. Lush aquatic plants were floating on the lake, and among the green grass stood statues.
The base of the statue is the same as the one on the trail, but the statue here is intact.
There are many strange-looking monsters carved on the stone platform. It is hard to imagine that there would be such monsters. A dragon with one claw, a three-winged bird, and a cow with dozens of eyes on its head are all considered the most normal ones.
The monsters were lifelike, their eyes wide open, staring at the exit of the tomb passage. It seemed that they would pounce at any time and attack the intruders. Seeing this scene, everyone was startled and subconsciously withdrew their spiritual consciousness.
After waiting for a while, the monsters did not respond. It was not a solution to continue waiting. After all, they had to enter the mausoleum no matter what dangers lay ahead.
‘Crack! ’
The moment they walked out of the tomb passage, a crisp sound was heard by everyone.
"careful!"
Young Master Xin blurted out, and suddenly waved his sleeves. A golden light flew out and turned into a golden lock.
There were several golden rings on the golden lock, which jingled when moved and emitted several golden halos towards the place where the sound came from.
The source of the sound was a statue, which was the strange bird with three wings. The bird had two symmetrical wings growing from its ribs, but a tumor protruded from the base of the wings, and another wing grew out of it, standing upright between the two wings like a cattail leaf fan.
In an instant, the strange bird statue was shrouded in golden light, and circles of golden rings fell continuously, forming a cage out of thin air.
But Young Master Xin was still a step too slow. Before the golden ring fell, the strange bird came to life, with a terrifying ferocious light flashing from its eyes. Its wings suddenly flapped, and the middle wing emitted a silver light that seemed to be able to tear the void, and its figure disappeared in an instant.
Young Master Xin's expression changed slightly. He hooked his finger, and the golden lock opened with a click. The main body fell rapidly, and with a "bang", the strange bird was knocked down. The strange bird fell into the water, splashing water.
It wasn't just the strange bird that came back to life. The three statues closest to them jumped down almost at the same time and rushed towards the crowd.
Having entered the mausoleum, Pei Gongsheng had to take action. He had not retracted the purple needle and pointed it at the forehead of a monster. Qin Sang did not sit idly by and also used the Gray Oriole Sword to stab a monster. With only the last one left, it was much easier for the Xin family cultivators to deal with it.
‘Crack! ’
Qin Sang succeeded first. The monster was split into two halves by a sword. The monster immediately stiffened and fell into the water, turning into two ordinary stone sculptures.
The next one was the one that Pei Gongfeng dealt with. The monster was first pierced through the center of its eyebrows by a purple needle, but unexpectedly the monster had no vital points. Pei Gongfeng changed his mantra, and purple light burst out from the monster's body, dismembering it. The monster was finally defeated and shattered into a pile of rocks.
The Xin family monks were working together to deal with the last one, and it looked like they were about to succeed.
"Not very strong..."
Qin Sang secretly evaluated the monsters' strength. The four monsters were at the Spirit Transformation Stage.
However, for a tomb guardian beast of this level, the identity of the tomb owner could not be too high. If it came from Ziwei Palace, it would not be a very important place, which was different from what he expected.
However, the strength of the tomb guardian beasts may also decline with the passage of time, and they have just come in, and the real danger may still lie ahead.
The four monsters were quickly dealt with, and then there were continuous crackling sounds. All the monsters came to life, jumped off the stone platform, and ran towards them, each with its own magical powers.
For a moment, the rays of light danced wildly, and ice and fire flew together. Fortunately, the Xin family monks cooperated well. Qin Sang and Pei Gongsheng took action from time to time, and finally killed the monsters one by one.
"Thank you Elder Qin and Lord Pei for helping to resolve the crisis, otherwise our Xin family might have suffered losses again," Young Master Xin flew forward and said after a fierce battle, without even bothering to regulate his breathing.
Pei Gongsheng had an agreement in advance, so it was his duty to take action, but Qin Sang was invited to refine the weapon.
"I am also very curious about who would build the mausoleum here, but the premise is to ensure my safety. Young Master Xin, don't have too many expectations of me," Qin Sang reminded.
Young Master Xin nodded, took out a jade slip and handed it to Qin Sang, "Elder Qin, this is one of the things you need to refine. I have prepared the spiritual materials. You can comprehend it first, and then find a suitable place to start refining."
"Just one of them?"
Qin Sang took the jade slip and seemed unaware of Pei Gongsheng's scrutinizing gaze. He took a quick glance and found that he was asked to refine a magical weapon, which was a ferry.
He carefully examined the details. Although refining the ferry was complicated, it was not difficult for him. It just took some time. Qin Sang did not ask about the function of the ferry, but concentrated on comprehending it, so as not to make a mistake and lose his reputation.
The statue was broken and showed no signs of recovery for the time being. Everyone crossed the lake and came to the other side of the lake, where they found an entrance with stairs.
The entrance was almost filled with water plants. After everyone cleared away the water plants, they saw a stone staircase leading down.
"It seems that the tomb is divided into layers, and we are now on the first layer," Manager Luo guessed.
"There is a seal inside!" A cultivator from the Xin family used his spiritual sense to investigate and made a new discovery.
They filed in and saw an ancient seal blocking their way. After a quick investigation they found that it was of the same origin as the ancient ban on the stone gate.
Just like before, Young Master Xin walked to the seal alone, placed her palm on it, and asked Pei Gongsheng to help her break the seal.
This time, Qin Sang looked more carefully. When the black light appeared, something seemed to appear in her palm. Young Master Xin disguised himself very well and used magic to cover up, which had deceived him before.
Qin Sang's eyes flashed, "It seems that the Xin family really got something related to this place..."
The seal was broken by the purple needle, and another tomb passage appeared in front, with similar scenery.
When everyone walked into the tomb passage, they immediately smelled a faint fragrance.
At this time, Qin Sang felt the beating inside the Qianjun Ring become stronger, and the connection became clearer, and his heart was moved. Continue to go deeper, when the connection is clear enough, he may be able to use the Qianjun Ring to find the target directly. But he didn't know what dangers were ahead, so it was good to have this group of people to help explore the way.
After confirming that the fragrance was non-toxic, everyone walked out of the tomb passage and a sea of flowers appeared within their sight.
Countless flowers are in full bloom, in all colors, forming clusters of flowers.
A buzzing sound was heard in the sea of flowers. When everyone looked closely, they found that it was wasps flying around the flowers, busy eating the nectar in the stamens.
There are probably far more than tens of thousands of wasps here, like yellow clouds floating above the sea of flowers.
The size of these wasps is almost the same as that of ordinary wasps outside, and they seem to pose no threat to cultivators. However, after seeing the wasps, Pei Gongsheng's expression suddenly became very solemn, and Qin Sang frowned, as if he remembered something.
Just when the Xin family cultivator was unaware of anything, a jade ruyi flew out from Pei Gongsheng's sleeve with a swish.
At the same time, Qin Sang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he blurted out, "It's a sacrificial insect! Be careful of illusions!"
Young Master Xin reacted very quickly. He flipped his jade hand and threw out a small bell. All the cultivators of the Xin family immediately gathered around Young Master Xin.
'when! ’
The small bell made a deep sound.
This bell is not operated by Young Master Xin alone, but by all the cultivators of the Xin family. Visible ripples spread out with the sound of the bell, and everyone suddenly feels their eyes and ears clear.
They may not really believe Qin Sang, but they dare not ignore any reminders from the Lianxu cultivators, even if it is a waste of effort, it is better than losing their lives.
In fact, Qin Sang did not deceive them.
He recognized the origin of this group of wasps; they were sacrificial insects!
The idea of offering insect sacrifices originated from the witch tribe. It does not refer to a specific kind of spiritual insect, but rather a class of spiritual insects.
The witch insect list of the witch clan includes all the spirit insects that are suitable for making natal insect poison, but the witch clan’s research on the art of controlling insects is not limited to this, many spirit insects that live in groups can also be used by them.
This kind of sacrificial insect was recorded in the few witch books that Qin Sang had read. In ancient times, the witch tribe would, at a specific time, lead by the tribe's chief witch, offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth. The sacrificial rituals sometimes required the assistance of spirit insects. These spirit insects were called sacrificial insects and enjoyed a noble status in the tribe, and together with the chief witch, enjoyed the offerings of the entire tribe.
This type of sacrificial insects often have similar characteristics, and are good at magical powers such as hallucinations and confusing gods. Qin Sang guessed that this might be to allow the people of the tribe to immerse themselves in the ceremony, without distractions, and worship from the bottom of their hearts.
This group of wasps is a kind of sacrificial insects.
"There are actually witch tribe sacrificial insects here. Could it be that my initial guess was correct? Is this the tomb of a powerful witch tribe member?"
Qin Sang was also confused.
What is the origin of this place? Are there any relics left by the powerful witches in the Ziwei Palace?
According to legend, it was the human sword cultivators who fought across the boundary wall, but the demons outside the boundary are the enemy of the entire universe. Will the witch clan also have some kind-hearted and ambitious people who will fight together with Ziwei Sword Master?
Almost at the same time when Qin Sang issued the reminder, the sacrificial insects also discovered them. The yellow cloud suddenly solidified, and all the sacrificial insects turned around to face them. The "buzzing" sound suddenly increased and became extremely harsh.
'call! call! ’
A strong wind suddenly arose, and the yellow clouds spread at an alarming speed, turning the surroundings dim in an instant.
The jade ruyi that Pei worshipped radiated a clear light, resisting the yellow clouds.
The bells kept ringing, each one more rapid than the last. Ripple and Huang Yun were forced to defend themselves and shrink inwards little by little. The Xin family cultivators were terrified and were glad that Qin Sang reminded them in time.
Qin Sang was protected by the Jade Buddha and was not affected at all. He also pretended to be calm and said, "Sacrificial insects are threatening only when they are in groups. Individually, they are not strong. Everyone, hold your ground and kill the insects separately."
Before he finished his words, the Grey Warbler Sword slashed towards the swarm of insects.
After successfully blocking the first wave of attacks from the sacrificial insects, everyone was unharmed. Following Qin Sang's orders, they began to attack the sacrificial insects, only to see Qin Sang leave their original location and fly into the depths of the insect swarm on his sword.
Qin Sang remembered that some of the sacrificial insects cultivated by the witch clan's secret technique could produce a treasure called gall crystal, which was a rare secret medicine for controlling insects. Feeding spirit insects with gall crystals would have many benefits, but cultivating sacrificial insects was extremely difficult, and only large tribes in the witch clan could do it.
This group of sacrificial insects have been trapped here for who knows how many years, and there should be gall crystals left behind.
Gray Oriole opened the way and rushed into the densest part of the insect swarm. He saw a flower tree. The flowers on the tree were as big as a baby's fist. The shape of the flowers was very strange, like round-necked pots hanging on the tree.
Qin Sang noticed at a glance that there were a dozen flower pots that were more crystal clear than the others, as if they had transformed into a jade-like material over a long period of time.
The flower pot is filled with things.
Qin Sang showed a look of joy. He flashed in front of the flower tree and looked at a flower pot filled with yellowish crystals. The pot was full and level with the mouth of the pot.
It's the gall crystal!
Normal gall crystals have a honey-like texture, but these have solidified into hard crystals.
The number was less than Qin Sang expected, not a full tree of gall crystals. But the crystal-like gall crystals were purer than the normal gall crystals in the records, and the medicinal effects should have changed as well.
