Chapter 26 Wood Spirit Life Pearl
"Hmm?"
Looking at the coffin rising slowly from the ground, Chu Tian was somewhat surprised.
Is this the so-called treasure left by the great thief Yiming, a pitch-black coffin?
This pitch-black coffin exudes a strong spiritual power, and is obviously made of top-grade spiritual wood. It is not only anti-corrosion and waterproof, but also strong enough and will not be damaged. It can be called a top-grade coffin!
Unfortunately, Chu Tian is still very young and cannot use such a thing for the time being.
"Boy, open the coffin and take a look!"
After the pitch-black coffin completely rose from the ground, Ba Lao reminded.
Chu Tian nodded, walked to the front of the coffin, looked down, stroked the edge of the coffin lid with his right hand, and pushed it forward with force!
Clang!
Soon, the coffin lid was pushed to the ground, revealing the scene inside the coffin.
"What, how is it possible!"
Chu Tian's eyes immediately widened, staring at the middle of the coffin, with an unbelievable look on his face.
In the coffin, there lay a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously and elegantly.
The man had short hair and was a little short. Most importantly, he didn't breathe at all, but his skin was naturally ruddy and his face was lifelike, as if he was asleep.
"Could this man be the great thief Yiming?"
Chu Tian thought to himself after the shock in his heart subsided.
If the person in front of him was really the great thief Yiming who was famous throughout the Wuyan Kingdom, he had obviously been dead for many years.
So how did he keep his body as new as ever? What was the purpose of keeping the body in this state? How to explain the line of words on the wall at the entrance of the outermost passage?
Especially where is the treasure mentioned in that line of words?
In an instant, a series of questions appeared in Chu Tian's mind. He frowned slightly and thought hard, but he couldn't find the answer.
"Boy, press the abdomen of the corpse gently with your palm!"
At this moment, Ba Lao's calm voice came into Chu Tian's ears.
Chu Tian heard this, took a deep breath, raised his right hand, slowly reached into the coffin, and finally placed his palm on the abdomen of the corpse.
Chu Tian's heartbeat seemed to speed up a little, and various possible scenarios flashed through his mind.
For example, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes, or even... sat up!
After a breath, Chu Tian took another deep breath, pushed his right arm downward, and gently pressed on the abdomen of the corpse.
"Ah!!!"
Suddenly, a low whistle that made people's scalp numb and tremble came from the mouth of the corpse, and then the corpse's eyes that had been closed for who knows how many years suddenly opened, and they were red!
Along with the eyes, the mouth with slightly bulging cheeks also opened.
Chu Tian's face turned pale, and he was so scared that he retreated several steps and almost collapsed on the ground. Then he suddenly pulled out the broken knife, held it in his hand, and looked at the dark coffin in front of him with a vigilant expression.
"Hahaha, kid, I never thought that a dead person could scare you like this!"
A loud laugh full of contempt came from the broken knife.
"Dead person?"
Chu Tian was slightly stunned, then put down the broken knife and slowly walked towards the dark coffin.
Soon, Chu Tian stood next to the dark coffin again and looked down.
Sure enough, the corpse was still lying quietly in the coffin, but the corpse's eyes were wide open and the mouth was completely open.
Just looking at the corpse's red eyes, Chu Tian felt a creepy feeling, and quickly looked away and looked at the corpse's open mouth.
"Huh?"
Chu Tian suddenly let out a light "huh".
In the corpse's open mouth, Chu Tian saw a emerald green crystal bead, so he put two fingers into the mouth and carefully took the bead out.
"Sure enough, it's just as I expected!"
Ba Lao said.
Chu Tian asked hurriedly, "What do you mean?"
"This is not an ordinary bead, but an extremely precious wood spirit life bead, which contains a trace of wood spirit essence. In addition, since it has been placed in the mouth of a corpse for many years, I guessed that a small part of this wood spirit essence should have been converted into wood spirit evil spirit."
Ba Lao analyzed.
Hearing this, Chu Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and then asked back: "Ba Lao, I know about wood spirit evil spirit, but what is this wood spirit essence?"
"Hehe, wood spirit essence is extremely precious. Compared with it, wood spirit evil spirit is simply garbage!"
Ba Lao laughed.
Chu Tian's face changed slightly when he heard this. Is the preciousness of wood spirit essence so exaggerated?
Immediately, he continued: "The trace of wood spirit essence contained in this wood spirit life bead alone is enough to bring a seriously injured Lingyun realm peak strongman back to life in a moment. Do you think wood spirit evil spirit is garbage compared to it?"
Hiss!
Chu Tian opened his eyes wide instantly and took a deep breath.
How is it possible that a trace of wood spirit essence can bring a severely injured peak Lingyun realm warrior back to life in a moment!
You have to know that he is a peak Lingyun realm warrior, not an ordinary body-refining realm warrior!
"So, if you take this wood spirit life bead to exchange with an alchemist now, the other party will definitely be willing to pay any price just to get a trace of wood spirit essence!"
Ba Lao teased.
Chu Tian nodded, agreeing deeply, and then asked in confusion: "Ba Lao, since the great thief Yiming got this wood spirit life bead, why didn't he use it to heal his own injuries?"
Previously at the auction, Chu Tian had heard someone mention that the last action of the great thief Yiming was to sneak into the palace of Wuyan Kingdom and successfully steal a treasure, but then he was severely injured by the royal master and fled in embarrassment.
"Hehe, it's very simple, because he can't do it!"
Ba Lao laughed.
Chu Tian was puzzled: "Can't do it?"
"The surface of this Wood Spirit Life Pearl has been secretly sealed in advance. He doesn't know the hand gesture to unlock it, so he can't absorb the essence of the Wood Spirit to heal his wounds. If he forcibly cracks it, the Wood Spirit Life Pearl will surely destroy itself!"
Ba Lao said slowly.
"So that's it."
Chu Tian suddenly realized.
In an instant, he also understood why the body of the thief Yiming could remain fresh for a long time. It must be the breath emitted by the Wood Spirit Life Pearl.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian hurriedly looked at the body in the coffin.
It was only a dozen breaths after the Wood Spirit Life Pearl was taken out, and the body in the coffin had begun to rot, and bursts of stench continued to come out.
Chu Tian then retreated several feet away from the coffin.
He put away the Wood Spirit Life Pearl and prepared to go back and study it carefully.
Immediately, Chu Tian's eyes quickly swept over the people lying on the ground.
Manager Qin had died due to excessive blood loss. Su Xishui and Chu Xi were still breathing, but they were still unconscious.
"Forget it, it's dangerous here, let's get you out."
Chu Tian pondered for a few breaths and walked out.
He carried Su Xishui and Chu Xi with great effort, returned the same way, and soon came to the exit of the gravity array channel.
Chu Tian was still worried about how to carry the two through the channel, but after some attempts, he found that the gravity array in the channel had been closed at some point.
Chu Tian was immediately happy, carried the two again, and walked through the channel.
Then, under the guidance of Ba Lao, Chu Tian returned to the ground and stood in the ordinary little valley.
At this moment, the sky was slightly bright.
After Chu Tian put the two people down, he looked down at the land under his feet and sighed secretly.
If Ba Lao had not accompanied them in this treasure hunt and reminded them at the critical moment, the final outcome would have been a total annihilation!
Although Chu Tian still had some doubts in his mind, it was no longer important.
Now that he had obtained the Wood Spirit Life Pearl, he had to find a way to quickly refine the evil spirits of the wood spirit contained in it and improve his own cultivation.
Because, in about three months, the enrollment examination of Tianji College will begin.
At this moment, waves of painful groans came from the mouths of Chu Xi and Su Xishui. Chu Tian hurriedly lowered his head and immediately judged that it would not take long for the two to wake up completely.
"I saved your lives, so I should give you some reward."
Chu Tian sneered, took off the storage rings worn by the two, and then left quickly.
About half an hour later.
"Damn it!"
"Which bastard stole my storage ring!"
Chu Xi and Su Xishui woke up almost at the same time, and immediately burst into two extremely angry roars.
After roaring angrily for a few times, the two looked at each other and soon calmed down.
At this moment, the two of them were in the depths of the Black Rock Forest. If they continued to roar loudly like this, they might attract extremely terrifying monsters!
"Xishui, are you okay?"
Chu Xi climbed up and came to Su Xishui's side, saying in a flattering manner.
Su Xishui's face was still angry, and he was too lazy to pay attention to Chu Xi. He just nodded gently, and was still thinking in his mind who rescued him and Chu Xi, and why he stole their storage rings?
After thinking about it, there were only two people who were the most suspicious, one was the shopkeeper Qin, and the other was the mysterious person!
Chu Xi saw that Su Xishui was too lazy to pay attention to him, and he was not angry. He continued to ask about his well-being, just like a good boyfriend.
Su Xishui glanced at Chu Xi, and thinking that he might have to live with him for the next few years, the coldness on his face eased a little, and he opened his mouth to reply a few words.
Not long after, the two got up and walked carefully out of the valley.
Chu Tian finally returned to Qianyang Marquis Mansion before noon. After confirming that no one knew that he had secretly left the mansion last night, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he returned to his room, closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and couldn't wait to take out the Wood Spirit Life Pearl.
"Old Ba, teach me the seal to remove the seal now!"
Chu Tian whispered.
"Okay, remember it!"
Old Ba nodded without hesitation.
Suddenly, a lot of information appeared in Chu Tian's mind.
Chu Tian's mind tightened, and he closed his eyes in a hurry, seizing the time to learn and master this information.
An hour later, Chu Tian exhaled a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and then put the Wood Spirit Life Pearl in front of him, and began to pinch the seal with both hands.
Next, a series of colorful seals were injected into the Wood Spirit Life Pearl, and the surface of the Wood Spirit Life Pearl immediately showed bursts of crystal light and flowed rapidly.
After a while, a light snap suddenly sounded.
Hearing this light sound, Chu Tian, who was sweating, was immediately happy. The seal was finally broken!
Whoosh!
However, at this moment, a ball of dim light suddenly shot out from the Wood Spirit Life Pearl and shot towards Chu Tian's eyebrows at a terrifying speed that was faster than lightning!
