As the corpses and coffins in the pill well were moved out one after another.
The entire bottom of the well was gradually revealed.
Under the light of the torches, everyone saw that the stone slab at the bottom of the well was uneven. It seemed to be two blurry human relief embossed.
Shi Jianzhi took a look and recognized them as Asura and Medicine Fork. They were the two Yin Gods in the netherworld and were closely related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. They were ferocious and had no eyes, so they were easy to recognize. They were entrusted with the wish of transcending reincarnation.
"There really is a secret chamber at the bottom of the well."
There was a silver lining. Everyone's thoughts of searching for the main tomb suddenly became fervent.
"It's said that the treasure well where the Emperor worships the immortals in Bottle Mountain is most likely here," Chen Yulou said excitedly. Looking at this scene, it doesn't seem like he was swept away by the Yuan Dynasty soldiers. It's time for us brothers to make a fortune!”
The Xieling Bandits nodded excitedly.
So Chen Yulou ordered the Xieling Bandits to pry open the stone door, revealing a huge hole. There was no lamp inside, and it was completely dark. One could not even see one's fingers when one stretched out one's hand. There was the whistling of the wind, as if the cave was extremely deep.
"Men, go down and check."
The cave was so strange that they couldn't even see their own fingers. Chen Yulou and the others didn't dare to act rashly, so they asked one of the bandits to bring a torch down. Not long after, the bandit returned and said,"Boss, there's a huge osmanthus tree below!”
Corpse Osmanthus Tree!
Shi Jian's eyes lit up as he recalled a treasure tree in the original novel.
The Corpse Osmanthus was the same as the Ghost Elm, they both grew in extremely dark places and were said to be ominous.
However, Shi Jian came from Mao Mountain and was familiar with the Taoist scriptures. He knew that Corpse Osmanthus was a rare spiritual root that lived on the Corpse Qi of the earth veins. The fruit it produced was extremely beneficial to those who practiced evil techniques.
Even orthodox Daoists could use it to refine pills.
It just so happened that the six-winged centipede's carapace was severely damaged during the battle with the Furious Clear Chicken, so it was just the right time to use it to heal.
Thinking of this, Shi Jian had a thought.
Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from above the well. With a crash, rocks flew everywhere. A six-winged centipede that looked like a black dragon moved its whiskers and claws and crawled down the rock wall with a shocking momentum.
Chen Yulou and the others were shocked. They didn't know why the six-winged centipede had suddenly appeared.
At this moment, Shi Jian said in a deep voice,"This cave is so deep that I can't see the bottom. I'm afraid it's dangerous. I called the six-winged centipede here to help me. Even if I encounter danger, I'll be more confident.”
When everyone heard this, they were relieved.
Not long after, everyone carried the centipede ladder and hung it between the branches of the osmanthus tree. They climbed down the well step by step.
"Hualala."
Shi Jian and the six-winged centipede were the last to descend.
Shi Jian climbed on the centipede ladder and used the light from the torch to see the situation at the bottom of the well.
The osmanthus tree was growing at the bottom of the mountain with the help of the corpse qi in the well. The dense canopy was filled with a threatening yin qi. No wonder when everyone stood on top of the cave, there would be gusts of cold wind blowing, making people's hair stand on end.
The osmanthus tree blotted out the sun, its leaves were like a crown, and it grew very densely, covering an unknown number of miles.
Everyone who came to the well was shocked.
At this moment, the six-winged centipede crawled down and saw the leaves of the osmanthus tree. Its red eyes were shining brightly, and Shi Jian felt a burst of joy in his heart.
Without needing Shi Jian to call him, he climbed into the tree crown and started to eat the purple fruits.
This Corpse Osmanthus Tree was lush for who knew how many miles.
The branches were full of fruits, each as big as a fist, and more than ten of them in a bunch. Looking at it, it was unknown how many there were.
Some were green, some were purple.
It was fruitful.
Seeing the Six-winged Centipede happily eating the Osmanthus Fruit, Shi Jian and the others also picked a lot.
Someone even took a bite.
"Bah, bah, bah."
"What the hell is this? It tastes so bad."”
" This is a Corpse Osmanthus," Shi Jian said." It absorbs Corpse Qi to live. It's an excellent treasure for Yin poison. But for humans, they could not be eaten raw. They had to be refined into pills by an expert.”
At this point, Shi Jian pointed at the trunk of Osmanthus Corpse and said,"Take a look if you don't believe me."
The man raised the torch high and shone it on the tree. He was shocked and almost fell down.
It turned out that Corpse Osmanthus was of the Yin attribute, absorbing the Corpse Qi in the Elixir Well to survive. The surface of the tree was uneven, forming the shape of a human head. Their eyebrows were clearly discernible, and they actually had all five senses.
Moreover, his facial features were ferocious, like the wails of ghosts and gods. It was extremely terrifying.
Everyone took a look and gasped.
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly sounded from the lush canopy. Everyone was shocked and quickly looked over. They found that a six-winged centipede was fighting with a monster in the canopy.
Where spiritual roots grow, there must be demonic protection!
Clearly, that monster was the demonic creature guarding the Corpse Osmanthus Tree.
The monster looked like a lizard. Its body was as white as jade, and its five fingers were sharp. It was also very agile. It scuttled between the treetops and kept fighting with the six-winged centipede. It hissed angrily.
Both of them were huge entities.
Every time the two clashed, countless branches would be broken, causing the huge osmanthus tree to tremble.
"Hurry up and leave!"
Everyone didn't dare to hesitate and quickly climbed down.
Shi Jian was the last to arrive. Suddenly, he jumped into the canopy and ran toward the battlefield.
His entire body emitted lightning, as if a god had descended to the mortal world!
He had refined the Six-winged Centipede with his blood. A wisp of his mind was connected to the centipede. If the Six-winged Centipede died, Shi Jian would suffer a backlash. Not only would his mind be severely injured, but his lifespan would also be reduced.
However, he was obviously overthinking it.
That six-winged centipede was a great demon that had cultivated an inner core.
If it wasn't for Shi Jian bringing the Furious Sky Chicken, the six-winged centipede wouldn't dare to breathe in and out the poisonous fog. Otherwise, how could Shi Jian be its opponent? How could he successfully refine the blood and take in a monster with an inner core as a pet?
At this moment, the six-winged centipede realized that the white jade lizard was extremely fast and its claws were sharp.
He immediately flapped his wings and flew up, spitting out a poisonous mist.
The poisonous fog was black and smelly, and it did not disperse. Wherever it came into contact with, the leaves and fruits melted.
The white jade lizard knew how powerful it was and quickly fled.
It had been at the bottom of the well for many years and was also cultivating alchemy. With the help of this Corpse Osmanthus Tree, its body had become as white as jade. Its muscles and bones were sparkling and translucent, and it was almost at perfection.
However, it paled in comparison to the six-winged centipede.
The former fled, while the latter pursued.
Two streams of light, one silver and one black, scuttled back and forth between the treetops. It was extremely dazzling and eye-catching.
However, the six-winged centipede had six wings and could glide in the air for a short period of time. It had a slight advantage in speed, and the distance between them kept decreasing. A mouthful of poisonous fog spewed out, and the White Jade Lizard was instantly melted.
He died really quickly!
The pitiful white jade lizard had cultivated for many years and was about to refine an inner core. However, it was disturbed by outsiders and its many years of cultivation were gone.
The corpse water fell to the ground, extremely sticky.
The six-winged centipede screamed in delight. It quickly ran over to lick the corpse water and swallowed it all. Its injuries recovered by half in an instant. The broken shell on its head gradually grew a new thin layer.
The three pairs of transparent wings became more and more translucent, faintly flashing with a silver luster.
After that, the six-winged centipede happily scurried into the treetops and greedily devoured the Corpse Osmanthus Fruits again. Regardless of whether they were purple or green, it swallowed them all in clusters and turned them into medicinal power to nourish its body and inner core.
Shi Jian stopped in his tracks.
After shaking his head, his body flickered among the treetops and he kept jumping toward the ground.
