Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 794 - 793: Search

"Earth Immortal Tomb?"

"Can this statement be trusted?"

Tang Yue heard this and felt delighted.

Despite being suppressed for over two hundred years, Zheng Jiuling’s insight surpassed everyone else’s. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gained such a huge reputation. As soon as he emerged from the Valley of Life and Death, people invited him to explore tombs together.

"That’s right!" Zheng Jiuling nodded slightly, pointing at the tombstone, "This tombstone is made of a material called Black Nether Stone. Although not well-known, it’s an extremely hard stone, usually found at the sea bottom of Star Gathering Scattered Island!"

Through Zheng Jiuling’s explanation.

Everyone finally understood the reason.

It turned out that this stone is extremely difficult to mine and highly valuable. Generally, Human Immortals can’t afford to use it. Most of it is used by Earth Immortals, but even ordinary Earth Immortals only have a small amount, mostly used for constructing the main burial chamber.

The owner of this tomb actually used Black Nether Stone to make a tombstone, which implies it’s anything but simple.

"City Lord Tang, where did you get this tombstone from?"

Zheng Jiuling asked.

As Tang Yue explained, everyone learned the origin of this tombstone.

It turned out he acquired it by chance, but at the time, it was wrapped in a layer of stone paste. After peeling off the stone paste, it was revealed to be a tombstone.

"I see!" Zheng Jiuling nodded slightly, "However, just based on this tombstone, I still can’t determine the location of the tomb. I will need to spend some time on that... As for the reward?"

"According to the rules of the martial world, it’s distributed according to labor." Tang Yue glanced at Ye Qingchen and smiled ingratiatingly, "But you have the privilege to select one treasure of your choice first!"

"Fine!"

Zheng Jiuling agreed straightforwardly.

He also knew that the additional condition set by Tang Yue, which seemed insignificant, essentially meant giving away the most valuable thing inside the tomb. Of course, he understood this was out of regard for Ye Qingchen.

He himself didn’t have that kind of status yet!

"Mr. Zheng, how long will it take?" Tang Yue asked.

"With this tombstone, it’s much easier to locate the tomb site. It could take as little as three to five days, or as long as half a month! Finding the tomb is my responsibility. As for Mr. Ye’s first visit to Extreme Wilderness City, City Lord Tang, I ask for your continued hospitality!" Zheng Jiuling said politely.

"Leave it to me!"

Especially when he learned that the reticent Han Buxiu standing beside Ye Qingchen was once the closed-door disciple of Supreme Elder Ye Xu Kong of Celestial Moon Peak and had now joined Heaven-Shocking Peak under Ye Qingchen’s influence, Tang Yue was even more apprehensive.

Even without Zheng Jiuling’s explanation, Tang Yue understood.

With his current status and position, he could barely be compared to Ye Qingchen. But perhaps in a few years, when Ye Qingchen achieves the Earth Immortal status, the Tang Family might not even qualify to cling to him.

Presently.

Tang Yue immediately arranged a suite for Ye Qingchen and Han Buxiu, and thoughtfully sent two charming twin girls to attend to Ye Qingchen’s daily life.

As he left, he gave Ye Qingchen a knowing look that men understand.

But Ye Qingchen didn’t care about these things; he was out seeking opportunities, not leisurely sightseeing. His cultivation was still at the Human Immortal Fifth Layer, though improved somewhat since coming out of the Valley of Life and Death, yet still limited.

As for Han Buxiu, his cultivation was stable, but stepping into the Human Immortal Ninth Layer was challenging. Although he had reached this realm in the Valley of Life and Death, he was injured by Ye Qingchen and needed a long time to recuperate.

In the following days, Zheng Jiuling continued trekking mountains and rivers, searching for the tomb entrance.

Ye Qingchen also knew there was no rush with cultivation. Instead, he saved the trouble and strolled around Extreme Wilderness City, searching for Spirit Grass to help restore Han Buxiu’s origin.

After all, in the future, he would face not only the seven Supreme Elders but also the entire Taotian Palace. Han Buxiu, sharing the same goals, could be an indispensable ally in time!

Meanwhile, after escaping from the Tang Mansion, Rong Chuanlin ran non-stop for three days and nights before stopping.

Once at a safe spot, Rong Chuanlin couldn’t hold it any longer and angrily slammed his fist on the table:

"Damn Zheng Jiuling! In these two hundred years, I’ve never suffered such a loss! If not for that Ye Qingchen, I wouldn’t have lost so many people all at once!"

Thinking of the deceased experts, Rong Chuanlin’s face twisted.

Understand this.

As tomb raiders, they had the skill to open tombs but were weak in power, needing to recruit experts constantly. And the grander and more prestigious the tomb, the more complex the involvement, easily attracting the attention of the tomb owner’s descendants.

When Zheng Jiuling targeted the Earth Immortal’s Tomb of Taotian Palace, if he hadn’t obediently surrendered his amassed wealth over the years, he would have long become part of the earth. How would he have any chance of coming out alive?

Now, all the experts he painstakingly recruited were annihilated in one go, making Rong Chuanlin’s heart bleed!

"Master Rong, should we retaliate?" a subordinate suggested timidly.

"Retaliate?" Rong Chuanlin slapped the half-step Human Immortal subordinate, "Are your abilities stronger than Gao Tiansheng or Bai Yechen? So many of them couldn’t withstand even one move from Ye Qingchen; do we want to throw our lives away?"

The subordinate scampered away, holding his head, repeatedly begging for mercy.

"So do we just let it go?" asked another subordinate, unwillingly.

"Of course not!" Rong Chuanlin’s face turned cold, filled with hatred.

Rong Chuanlin squinted his eyes.

Remember this.

He discovered this tombstone, but when he arrived at Extreme Wilderness City, Tang Yue had already seized it.

"I intended to collaborate with the Tang Family to deceive and obtain that tombstone and monopolize the Human Immortal Tomb. Since the Tang Family won’t give, we’ll have to take it by force!" Saying this, Rong Chuanlin suddenly thought of something and grabbed the previous subordinate, asking, "Any news from Master Hai?"

"He can arrive in at most five days!" the man said shakily.

"Good!"

Hearing this, Rong Chuanlin was overjoyed, gritting his teeth he said:

"Zheng Jiuling, Ye Qingchen, where will you run this time?"

"This time with Master Hai’s intervention, I’ll settle all these old and new grudges!"

Everyone thought of Master Hai’s divine techniques and couldn’t help but show a smug expression.

Especially Rong Chuanlin, whose face was sinister. Having roamed for over two hundred years, how could he accept such a failure at the hands of a junior? Without avenging this, it was impossible for him to swallow this grievance.

Ye Qingchen was unaware of all this.

These days, he was searching for Spirit Grass. With the influence of the Tang Family, in just two or three days, he had almost gathered the ingredients for a furnace of pills to restore the origin, but unfortunately, he lacked a crucial ingredient to start the furnace.

Just when Ye Qingchen was about to give up, a servant suddenly reported:

"Mr. Ye, there’s going to be a Spirit Grass auction in Extreme Wilderness City tomorrow. Would you like to take a look?"
