"Where did you guys go?”
After strolling around the palace, he found that half of the people were gone. Chen Yulou, Zhe Gushao, and the other leaders were also gone.
Thus, Fang Yun pulled over a mountain strongman and asked.
"Master Fang!"
"Chief Boss and the others found a crack in the mountain beside the pool and went in. The pool is on the right side of the hall.”
The Mountain-Breaking Strongman cupped his fists at Fang Yun and pointed to the mountainside on his right.
"Alright, do your thing. You don't have to lead the way.”
Fang Yun nodded and led the flower spirit towards the mountainside.
When they reached the end of the mountain, they saw a small pool in the dark. There were also canals around to guide the water from the mountain to this place.
There was a crack on the rock wall beside the pool.
"Follow me. Don't touch anything on the way.”
Fang Yun subconsciously reminded the flower spirit and then directly went in.
"I'm Mountain Moving Daoist, you're underestimating me.”The flower spirit snorted unwillingly and followed closely behind.
This crevice seemed to be naturally formed, but there were traces of artificial widening around it. There were also countless platforms for candlelight on the rock walls on both sides.
After passing through the crevice, the view before his eyes suddenly opened up.
In front of him was a huge cave. The walls of the cave were filled with coffins and corpses. There were also jade bottles of pills scattered everywhere.
In the middle of the cave, there was a huge pill furnace that was two meters tall.
Chen Yulou, Zhe Gushao, and the others were currently scouting in the cave.
"Brother Fang? Are you feeling better?"
Seeing Fang Yun bring the flower spirit into the cave, the two of them came up to welcome him.
"Don't worry, it's just a layer of skin, it's not a big deal.”
Fang Yun waved his hand and continued to ask,"Brother Chen, we haven't found the real underground palace yet. Did you find anything here?”
Chen Yulou sighed and shook his head.
"Not yet."
"We've checked the surroundings and found no traces of a cave entrance, so Dao Brother and I believe that the entrance to the underground palace is hidden here. We plan to clean this place up first and then investigate it in detail.”
Hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and found a place to sit down and rest.
Out of the three mission rewards, he had already obtained the Kirin blood and the Big Star Kick. He was only missing a Dragonscale Bulletproof Vest.
Although the bulletproof vest was not as useful as the bloodline and secret techniques in the tomb, it was still a rare treasure in this era.
The secret technique of precious blood prevented evil spirits, and the precious armor protected the body against villains.
"Why are there so many coffins here?”
At this moment, the idle flower spirit sat beside Fang Yun and asked in a low voice.
There were pill furnaces and bottles in the cave. It was obvious that it was a place for pill refinement, but there were so many coffins and dried corpses piled up in the surroundings. It was very strange.
Hearing the flower spirit's words, Fang Yun's smile faded and he explained,"
"The ancient alchemists paid attention to the three symbols of time, place, and people when they refined pills.”
"They believe that people who die without rotting are lucky. The dragon energy in their bodies is the key to longevity.”
"Thus, they dug out the unrotting people buried in the auspicious place at the auspicious time and cooked them with a pill cauldron. The dragon qi in the bodies was cooked into corpse oil and paste, which was used to add to the pill.”
"Even in ancient times, this technique was regarded as a demonic art. Emperors who claimed to have the fate of a true dragon would naturally not do this. Presumably, those necromancers used such demonic arts to deal with the imperial envoy.”
While explaining the ancient cruel magic to the flower spirit, Fang Yun also sized up the actions of the surrounding mountain strongmen.
Xie Ling was ruthless…
He didn't even let go of those dried corpses. He used all his strength to pull out those with gold and silver on them. If he touched those with gold and jade pearls in their throats, it would be even more exaggerated. He would directly split the dried corpses.
In less than an hour, this huge cave was cleared out.
Hundreds of coffins and countless dried corpses were moved out by Xie Ling and the warlords.
"Chief! There's a sealed hole here!"
"There's a cave entrance?"
Everyone came forward and took a closer look. Only then did they realize that there were two different colors on the rock wall. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell.
In the middle of the rock wall, there was a hard mud wall. If one knocked on it, they would find that there was a hole behind it.
"Men, tear down this wall!”
Chen Yulou immediately decided to dig a hole in the wall.
The group of Mountain-Lifting Strongmen raised their shovels and started digging at the hard soil wall.
Although the hard mud wall was hard, it was not very thick. In just a few minutes, it was completely demolished.
Behind the wall, there was a stone staircase leading up.
His gaze followed the entrance and looked inside. It was as if there was a layer of black fog inside. The black fog completely swallowed the light and he could not see anything clearly.
Even though Chen Yulou was born with night vision and could see things in the dark, he couldn't see the situation in the cave.
"The two of you light the torches and go in to investigate. If there's any movement, retreat immediately.”
Chen Yulou had no choice but to send two veterans to scout the way.
The two old hands lit the torches and threw stones into the cave to test the waters. Then, they slowly climbed the stone steps and went up.
Not long after, a low voice came from the cave.
"Chief, there's another platform up here. There's a big tree in the middle, and there's a building on each side of the mountain wall!”
"Four buildings?"
"Everyone, this might be the real Yuan Dynasty underground palace.”
Hearing this, Chen Yulou's eyes lit up and he led the way into the cave. Francolin Whistle and the old foreigner followed eagerly.
Only the flower spirit pitifully landed at the back of the team and could only follow Fang Yun.
After passing through the stone steps and arriving at the upper level of the cave, the scene before his eyes suddenly opened up.
Under the illumination of the many flames, everything around them was clearly visible.
The upper level of the cave was extremely huge, even bigger than the entrance when they first entered Bottle Mountain. It was more than enough to fit a thousand people.
A bluestone platform had been built here, with a two-story pavilion at each corner of the platform. In the middle of the four pavilions, there was a huge osmanthus tree.
Here, there was not a trace of moisture, only a bone-chilling coldness.
When he saw the osmanthus tree and the four pavilions, Fang Yun's pupils constricted as he remembered where this place was.
The thousand-year-old osmanthus tree absorbed the Yin and removed the tide!
Four iron buildings, the Cloud Treasure Palace!
This was the warehouse where the necromancers used to refine medicine. It was a secret cave that had not been discovered by the Yuan people!
If he remembered correctly, there were countless gold and jade in these four iron buildings, and there were piles of spiritual herbs.
The most important thing was that the Cloud Treasure Palace also hid the inner cores of various monsters, as well as the stones produced in the bodies of various poultry and beasts!
He could choose not to take the gold and jade treasures, but he would take all the spiritual pills and treasures for himself!
