"Please come with me!"

Nevertheless, Shi Fei was still quite confident about the soul bone in the sect's collection.

He then bowed to Tang Lan and led her out of the hall.

The two first arrived at a rockery behind the main hall of the sect.

Shi Fei groped around and finally found the switch. After a slight rumbling vibration in the ground, a stone door suddenly opened from the artificial mountain.

It was pitch black inside, and you couldn't see anything.

But soon a cluster of flames that Shi Fei extended ignited the candles on both sides.

A series of whooshing sounds could be heard, suggesting that there was an extremely ingenious mechanism designed inside.

Light just two candles, and the candles inside will light up one after another. Although it is still a bit dim, you can see the surrounding environment.

"This is a secret chamber in the back mountain of my Lingwu Sect. Only the sect leaders of each generation are qualified to enter it."

"The collection includes a considerable number of ancient books, crystals, rare and precious materials, and even soul bones."

"And that most precious soul bone has always been kept in a stone door at the very bottom of the secret chamber."

As Shi Fei walked, he introduced the various items stored in the secret room to Tang Lan.

Tang Lan casually pushed open a stone door on the first basement level, only to find that it contained various kinds of real gold and silver, as well as some precious gemstone jewelry.

"These things may not be of much value to Soul Masters, but they can still be considered part of the sect's reserves!"

“Normally, when the sect goes down the mountain to purchase supplies, it also requires the use of these savings that are kept at the bottom of their coffers.”

Seeing Tang Lan's expressionless eyes, Shi Fei explained somewhat awkwardly.

For high-level Soul Masters, gold and silver jewelry are far less valuable than they are for ordinary people.

In Tang Lan's view, these were all useless things.

Tang Lan then opened several more secret rooms, which contained mostly calligraphy and paintings, ancient books, and some strange and unusual soul tools.

"These were all left behind by the previous sect leader. Although most of them aren't very valuable, I didn't touch them out of respect for my predecessor!"

Seeing Tang Lan casually pick up an ancient book and flip through it, Shi Fei began to explain.

"I didn't realize that the previous leader of Lingwu Sect was also skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Tang Lan nodded, and then put the items back in their original places.

Shi Fei just smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

The two quickly descended to the eighth underground level, finally arriving at the most secure secret chamber of the Lingwu Sect.

In front of this secret chamber stands a huge stone lion with its mouth open, holding a precious pearl carved from stone.

Then Shi Fei took out a blood-red stone from his pocket and placed it face forward into the groove on the north side of the stone bead.

In an instant, a bright red light shone forth, and the stone gates in front of them opened one after another.

"This is a dragon blood crystal, which is extremely rare even across the entire continent."

"It contains a trace of dragon power, and this power is the key to activating this entire secret chamber."

As the stone gate opened, Shi Fei's voice became increasingly solemn.

The two entered one after the other, and after looking around, Tang Lan quickly discovered the altar inside.

This altar is made up of various carved stone pillars, one of which has a circular mark carved on it.

Shi Fei walked to the side of the cave wall, wiped away the thick dust, and began to fiddle with the metal mechanism with strange numbers on it.

With a whooshing sound that echoed throughout the stone chamber, a stone platform suddenly rose from the altar in the very center.

On the stone platform sat an antique wooden box with strange patterns. The box was reddish-brown, and its rounded shape faintly emitted warm, radiant white light.

Shi Fei stepped forward and pressed several dull grooves into the stone platform, allowing him to remove the wooden box.

At the same time, there was a round object inside that was half black and half white.

This object is about the same size as a longan, but it emits a strange fluctuation.

"This is."

Tang Lan frowned slightly upon seeing this object, clearly indicating that even he had never seen such a soul bone before.

From a distance, this thing looked as if it had been specially crafted. If Shi Fei hadn't mentioned it beforehand, Tang Lan probably wouldn't have thought it was a soul bone.

According to the records left by the successive leaders of Lingwu Sect, this eye should have been obtained by the predecessor who founded Lingwu Sect a hundred years ago.

That was the soul bone produced after the death of a ten-thousand-year-old one-eyed tyrant, originating from a mutated evil-eyed tyrant in the Demon Forest of the Sun and Moon Continent.

The evil-eyed tyrant was not skilled in mental nightmares or illusions, but rather in two completely opposite and strange powers.

These two forces were referred to as Yin and Yang by the senior at the time, seemingly corresponding to light and darkness, but they were also different.

As everyone knows, even if the Evil Eye Tyrant produces soul bones, they are skulls. This eyeball-type soul bone is the first of its kind in a hundred years.

Upon hearing this, Tang Lan immediately became interested.

So he took the wooden box from Shi Fei's hand and examined it carefully.

But at that moment, the half-black, half-white eyeball emitted a soul light in both black and white.

As if sensing Tang Lan's presence, it began to slowly rotate.

At the same time, two forces of different colors began to leave swirling black and white trails.

"This is."

Tang Lan went from being completely indifferent at the beginning to showing surprise in the end.

"Could it be that this soul bone is also an external soul bone?!"

"No, to be more precise, it should be called a special soul bone!"

After speaking, Tang Lan felt it was somewhat inappropriate and quickly changed her words.

At the same time, the power released by the black and white eyeballs in front of her became increasingly powerful, and Tang Lan even faintly sensed the aura of the rules of life and death.

Although the aura was faint, Tang Lan was someone who had glimpsed the rules of life and death during the Death God's Trial, so she naturally sensed it immediately.

"Come!"

At the same time, the aura surrounding Tang Lan also suddenly changed.

Tang Lan reached out and touched the void in front of him, and immediately waves of water-like power spread outwards.

Those were strange black ripples that touched the surrounding walls, causing the stone walls to begin to distort slightly.

Shi Fei's eyes widened. At this moment, he felt a terrifying aura of death filling the entire stone chamber.

Tang Lan glanced at Shi Fei and warned in a deep voice, "Get out! Staying here will greatly shorten your lifespan!"

"Ah good!"

After realizing what was happening, Shi Fei quickly nodded and took two steps at a time to walk out of the stone gate.

At that moment, he felt a chill run through his body; just a instant ago, he seemed to feel the aura of death enveloping him.

He knew that Tang Lan should have a way to fuse these strange soul bones, so he gently pressed the mechanism to close the stone door.

In the instant the shutter closed, he was astonished to see a powerful aura of life emanating from Tang Lan's other side. (End of Chapter)
