Chen Changsheng didn't sleep all night and was busy until dark. In the end, he could only look at the small cloth bag in his hand...
He was certain that although Emperor Xizong had many burial objects, this was probably the only relic of Song Yingxing. The others were either yellow and white objects, or jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. In any case, none of them could emit similar energy fluctuations.
"Have you finished your selection?" Li Ke did not leave and stayed here with Chen Changsheng.
The emperor also wanted to live forever, and was afraid that Chen Changsheng was hiding something and wouldn't tell him...
"It should be just a small cloth bag like this!" Chen Changsheng nodded.
"What's the use of a small cloth bag? What's in it?" Li Ke asked.
"I don't know, I can't open it!" Chen Changsheng said.
"Can't open it? Let me try!" said Li Ke.
It’s just a small cloth bag, and it can’t be opened?
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng threw the cloth bag to Li Ke. He suspected that Emperor Xizong had held this thing in his hands for so many years and had never opened it...
Li Ke took the bag and tugged at it, but it didn't budge at all...
Chen Changsheng chuckled on the side. He had tested the strength of this cloth bag. Without the innate level of strength, it was impossible to destroy this cloth bag.
A mere cloth bag can be made so sturdy. One can imagine how powerful the immortal cultivators are. Naturally, Chen Changsheng is even more yearning for it!
"It is worthy of being a relic of an immortal. Even a cloth bag is so sturdy. I'm afraid only the immortal's method can open it!" Li Ke exclaimed.
"Perhaps. I'll take this cloth bag with me and figure out how to open it. As for the rest of these things, you can handle them as you wish. But don't forget the budget for my Immortal Seeking Department. It's tentatively set at... one million taels per year!"
As Chen Changsheng spoke, he took the cloth bag from Li Ke's hand and turned to leave.
"What? One million taels? Why do you, a member of the Xunxian tribe, need so much silver every year? Do you know that the total annual income of the Great Zhou Dynasty does not exceed 20 million taels? Now, after several years of war, there are probably only about 10 million left. You asked for one tenth of it..." Li Ke couldn't help but said.
"Then I won't care. You figure it out..."
Chen Changsheng had disappeared, leaving behind only a voice that was so infuriating that it would kill him...
"One million taels a year... Your Majesty, this person is really arrogant..." said the Di Ting leader, walking out from the shadows.
"It's okay... Have you ever calculated the value of these things brought out from the tomb of Emperor Xizong?" Li Ke asked.
"According to a rough estimate, it is worth about three million taels of silver, not including the difficult-to-calculate antiques, calligraphy and paintings..." said the leader of Di Ting.
"Yes, three million taels... The tomb of Emperor Xizong alone costs that much silver. Just think about how much money it would cost if the tombs of all the other emperors of the Great Zhou were dug up?" Li Ke said, his eyes gleaming coldly...
"What? Other imperial tombs?"
After hearing this, I shuddered all over...
What kind of master did he follow?
Others dig up other people's ancestral graves, why did this person specifically target his own ancestral grave?
"I, through the tomb of Emperor Xizong, I discovered a great treasure!"
"Hehe, I want to establish a special force dedicated to tomb raiding and treasure hunting. Let's call it the Mojin Captain, and their full-time job is to explore and dig out treasures in ancient tombs..." Li Ke said with a chuckle.
Li Ke was just interested for a while, but the position of tomb raider has been passed down...
Changming Street, No. 168!
Cloth bag?
Haha, that Li Ke is really easy to fool...
If nothing unexpected happens, this item should be a must-have storage bag for cultivators!
Use mana and you should be able to open it!
Chen Changsheng smiled and began to test...
"It really works. Even though I didn't open it directly, the original energy aura on the bag has obviously weakened a lot. This thing used by immortals still needs immortal methods to unlock it!"
Confirming it was effective, Chen Changsheng continued to channel energy. After several hours of unremitting persistence, he finally eliminated all the remaining energy aura...
"It should be open now..."
Chen Changsheng muttered to himself, then gently pulled the bag's opening and dumped it onto the ground...
“Gurgle…”
Suddenly, a pile of things rolled out of the bag, forming a small hill...
It really is a storage bag!
“Woof woof woof!”
Da Huang, not knowing what was going on, started to cry out...
"Go, watch the door and don't let anyone in. I want to see if there is anything I need in Song Yingxing's relics..." Chen Changsheng said.
There were quite a few things down there, including clothes, gold and silver, some unknown stones, exquisite boxes, porcelain bottles, etc., piled together and needed to be sorted.
Half an hour later, the original pile of things had been divided into several parts.
The first pile consisted of useless, mundane items like clothes, gold, and silver. The second pile contained a few books. The third pile contained boxes and bottles, some made of gold, some jade, and some made of wood, all emitting a faint energy aura. The last pile contained items he couldn't identify, including stones, herbs, tree roots, and so on.
"The inheritance of the first-class middle-grade spiritual plant husband", "Changchun Gong", "The experience of the immortal cultivators in Yuezhou", "The best fox demon", "The genealogy of the Song family"!
Five books in total!
Judging from the list, the fifth one was the most useless. The name of the fourth one was a little strange. When Chen Changsheng opened it, his expression suddenly became strange...
The so-called "Top-grade Fox Demon" turned out to be a vernacular novel, and a Yanqing novel at that. The illustrations were indeed exquisite, but for a veteran like Chen Changsheng who had seen all the Japanese literature, they were just ordinary...
"'First-Level Intermediate-Grade Spiritual Plant Husband Inheritance' should be a cultivation skill. 'Spiritual Plant Husband', from the name, seems to be about farming. Are there also farmers among the immortal cultivators?"
"As for the second volume of Changchun Gong, I've already started practicing..."
"The third volume, 'Observations of Immortal Cultivators in Yuezhou', is probably what I need most right now. Perhaps through this book, I can find other immortal cultivators..."
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng directly opened "Yuezhou Immortal Cultivator's Observations". However, after just a few glances, he was attracted by the content. Until he finished reading the last page...
"I never thought that the world of immortal cultivators would be so wonderful!"
"Cultivating immortals not only increases one's strength, but also prolongs one's lifespan, and even... ascends to the higher realms..."
"There are many realms for cultivators: Qi Training, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul... Each time you advance to a new realm, not only does your lifespan double, but you also gain all sorts of incredible abilities. It's truly truly enviable..."
"Unfortunately, although this book introduces some knowledge about immortal cultivators, it is only briefly mentioned, and there is no roadmap or anything like that. In other words, it will be difficult for me to get in touch with other immortal cultivators in a short period of time!"
"But, this is fine... In the world of immortal cultivators, there are no laws, only naked survival of the fittest!"
"My current strength is estimated to be equivalent to the third level of Qi training... If I can break through to the Grandmaster level... I should be able to advance to the fourth level of Qi training..."
"But even if you're at the fourth level of Qi training, in the world of immortal cultivation, you're only at the bottom. You can die at any time..."
"Only by advancing to the seventh level of Qi training can one perhaps achieve a certain status... If one can break through Qi training and advance to foundation building, then it would be extraordinary. In the land of Yuezhou, one would be considered a true master..."
"But, look at what it says here, the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment Master is 200 years..."
"Only two hundred... Although I'm only at the third level of Qi training, my lifespan seems to be no less than those of the Foundation Establishment Masters..."
"That's a good thing... I got my low-grade wood spirit root from Song Yingxing. Low-grade... Just from the name, you can tell it's definitely the lowest level. It's almost impossible to cultivate it to a high level!"
"But living a long life is an advantage!"
"If others take a hundred years to cultivate, then I can use two hundred years. Even if I'm a pig, I can still achieve something..."
"Besides, if I come into contact with those immortal cultivators in the future, I might even be able to receive spiritual root rewards..."
