Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

"I understand." Jiang Qiong replied. Although he was full of doubts, he was still eager to get more information.

"If I may, I would like to talk with you and learn more about this mausoleum."

The guardian slowly sat up. Although his face was haggard, he seemed to have a transcendent aura.

His voice became gentle, yet with a hint of irresistible majesty, and he slowly said: "If you want the treasure, you must accept my test first."

"Test?" Jiang Qiong frowned, but he knew this was the only chance to reach the treasure, so he asked, "What is the test?"

"Follow me." The guardian slowly stood up, his figure casting a strange shadow in the candlelight, as if guiding Jiang Qiong towards an unknown abyss.

Although Jiang Qiong was afraid, he was also driven by curiosity. He followed the guardian, passed through the stone chamber, and walked into a deeper passage.

At the end of the passage, there was a stone door inlaid with ancient runes, and a faint light flickered on the door.

"This is the real entrance to the treasure." The guardian said, pointing to the stone door, and slowly asked: "But you must answer three questions for me before you can open it."

Jiang Qiong nodded, feeling nervous and expectant: "What is the first question?"

"What is the most precious thing in this world?" The guardian's voice was like a low thunder, echoing in the dark passage.

"It's life." Jiang Qiong answered without hesitation, knowing in his heart that this was a test of human nature.

"Correct." The guardian nodded slightly, and the runes on the stone gate flickered, as if responding to his answer.

"The second question is, what is the most terrifying thing?" The guardian continued to ask.

"It's loneliness." Jiang Qiong answered again, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

"Correct." There was a hint of approval in the guardian's voice, and the light of the stone gate flickered again.

"The last question, what is the easiest thing to be forgotten?" asked the guardian, his eyes flickering, going straight into Jiang Qiong's heart.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath, and countless memories emerged in her mind.

He thought of the emotions that had been diluted by the years and the stories that had been forgotten.

"It's memory." Jiang Qiong answered firmly.

"Correct." The guardian smiled slightly, and the stone door slowly opened under his gaze, revealing a passage leading to the treasure.

Jiang Qiong was shocked and then stepped into the stone gate. The scene before him stunned him.

I saw a gorgeous treasure room with walls inlaid with sparkling gems. In the center was a glittering golden throne, which was piled with magical instruments, talismans, elixirs and other items.

"These are all the wealth injected into the mausoleum." The voice of the guardian sounded in his ears, and he said slowly: "But you must understand that behind the wealth, there are endless secrets and dangers hidden."

"I understand." Jiang Qiong thought to himself. He knew that this was not just a treasure hunt, but also a test of himself.

Just as he was about to approach the throne, the guardian reached out his hand and stopped him. "These treasures are just appearances. The real wealth lies in the experience you have learned."

"I will keep it in mind." Jiang Qiong said firmly.

"Then you can choose a treasure to take away." The guardian's voice became much gentler, and then he continued: "But remember, be careful when choosing, every treasure has its price."

Jiang Qiong walked slowly towards the throne, his eyes wandering over the glittering treasures.

Finally, his eyes fixed on an ancient ring, which was inlaid with a brilliant blue gemstone and emitted a mysterious light.

"I choose this ring." Jiang Qiong said without hesitation.

"Okay." The guardian smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the ring flew into Jiang Qiong's hands.

"Now, you can leave this mausoleum." The guardian's voice gradually became distant. "Remember, your choice will determine your future."

Jiang Qiong held the ring and felt excited, but was then swallowed by a greedy desire.

He looked around and thought to himself: These treasures are so rich, am I only allowed to take one?

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiong couldn't help swallowing and asked the guardian: "Are there any other treasures? Can I choose another one?"

The guardian frowned slightly, as if he saw through Jiang Qiong's greed. He spoke slowly: "Greed is part of human nature, but in this mausoleum, greed will only bring bad luck. If you insist on doing so, you will have to accept a more severe test."

Jiang Qiong's heart was shaken, and he realized that the choice he faced was not a simple one. Although he longed for more wealth, he also knew that the guardian was right, and greed often brought unbearable costs.

But as the saying goes.

The wages of avarice is death.

Jiang Qiong thought for a while, and said: "I understand, please give me a more stringent test!"

Upon hearing this, the guardian's eyes became serious and he slowly said, "Well, since you insist on doing this, then accept the second round of tests."

"The second round of test?" Jiang Qiong's heart tightened. He felt vaguely uneasy, but he did not choose to retreat.

He nodded and waited for the Guardian to take action.

"In this treasure room, there are dozens of skeletons hidden. They are the guardians of this mausoleum. Only by defeating them can you obtain more treasures."

The Guardian's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the treasure room.

"Skeleton?" Jiang Qiong was shocked, but then he was excited by the passion of battle.

He must be prepared to face the upcoming challenges.

"How should I fight?" Jiang Qiong asked.

"Just smash all the skeletons." The guardian's voice said calmly.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and said to himself, "No matter what, I can't retreat." He slowly moved forward, ready to face the approaching skeleton.

At this moment, the surroundings of the treasure room began to shake, and the stone wall slowly opened, revealing a dark passage.

The figures of the skeletons gradually appeared, and their bones flickered coldly in the candlelight, emitting chilling whispers.

"Are you ready?" The guardian's voice echoed in Jiang Qiong's ears.

"I'm ready!" Jiang Qiong responded loudly, with a fearless fighting spirit burning in his heart.

The skeletons came like a tide. Jiang Qiong clenched his fists, the spiritual energy in his body circulated rapidly, and he felt a warm spiritual light enveloping him in his heart.

next moment.

The skeletons attacked.

Their movements were swift, and their bone claws cut through the air like knives. Jiang Qiong dodged flexibly, secretly thinking about battle strategies in his mind.

He knew that he could not defeat these skeletons with brute force alone, and he had to use his wisdom and agility.

"Come on!" Jiang Qiong shouted, his fighting spirit ignited in his heart, and he rushed forward. He deftly shuttled between the skeletons, looking for their flaws.

As the battle progressed, he discovered that each skeleton had a fixed attack pattern, and if he could grasp the opportunity, he could easily counterattack.

He seized an opportunity when the skeleton was attacking, and quickly struck out, punching the skeleton on the skull. The bones shattered and the skeleton fell to the ground.

Then, he turned around to meet the attack of the next skeleton, dodged it flexibly, and kicked out, hitting the skeleton in the waist. The skeleton made a crisp sound of bone cracking and fell to the ground instantly.

The battle intensified, and the skeletons came like a tide. Jiang Qiong's figure was like a nimble cheetah, moving quickly among them, dodging attacks deftly, and counterattacking every attacking skeleton.

As time went by, the number of skeletons gradually decreased, and Jiang Qiong's body began to feel tired, but he would never allow himself to give up.

He silently repeated the guardian's words in his heart, reminding himself to stay calm and not be defeated by fear.

"I can do it!" Jiang Qiong was determined and continued to rush forward, with the spiritual energy in his body constantly circulating.

Finally, the last skeleton was knocked down by Jiang Qiong, and the entire treasure room returned to peace.

Jiang Qiong was panting as he stood beside the skeleton's corpse, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

He knew that he had not only defeated the skeleton, but was also about to obtain a large amount of treasure.

At this time, the guardian slowly walked out of the shadows, with approval in his eyes: "You did it, not bad."

"Thank you for the compliment." Jiang Qiong smiled slightly, feeling happy.

"Now, you can choose half of the treasures and go."

The guardian spoke slowly.

Jiang Qiong was excited, and after hearing the guardian's words, he began to pick out the glittering treasures in the treasure room.

Before his eyes was a scene glittering with golden light, with all kinds of rare treasures, which were dazzling.

He first took a fancy to a spiritual sword inlaid with Taoist patterns. The sword body exuded a faint spiritual energy, as if it could cut through all obstacles.

Jiang Qiong gently stroked the hilt of the sword and felt it was very good.

Then he caught a glimpse of an ancient jade pendant that was carved with intricate patterns and exuded a warm luster.

Jiang Qiong's heart moved, and she thought that this jade pendant was not only beautiful, but also contained a strong spirituality.

He took it without hesitation.

During the selection process, Jiang Qiong's eyes were also fixed on a thick ancient book with "One Hundred Records of Formations" written on the cover.

The appearance of this book made him happy. If he could master the hundreds of immortal cultivation skills contained in it, it would help him go further.

The remaining time period.

Jiang Qiong selected the treasures in front of him one by one and put them all into the storage bag.

However, just as he was about to leave, the tranquility of the treasure room was broken by a slight sound. Jiang Qiong's heart tightened and he turned around alertly.

With a slight "click" sound, the stone door slowly opened.

Several figures walked in quietly and silently.

Jiang Qiong's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "Oh no, someone is coming!"

These monks were dressed differently, and they were obviously from different sects. The first monk who came in was a man.
He was wearing a black robe embroidered with golden runes, looking mysterious and majestic.

His face was angular, his eyes were sharp, and he exuded a strong aura, making him seem like a powerful man with extraordinary strength.

Following closely behind was a woman wearing a white veil, as light as a cloud.

Her hair cascaded over her shoulders and her face was covered with a light veil, through which her beautiful face was vaguely visible.

Her steps were gentle, as if dancing in the air, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

The third monk was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build. He was wearing a gray cloth robe and had some stubble on his face, looking a little sloppy.

But the aura emanating from him was extremely powerful.

The man had his hands behind his back and his eyes were sharp, as if he was looking for something.

The last monk was a young boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a green Taoist robe. He had a childish smile on his face and looked a little fearless.

He carried a longbow on his back and held an arrow in his hand, as if ready to shoot at any time.

"Finally, we finally found the treasure!" The man in black robe shouted in a low voice, his voice was low and powerful, obviously the leader of this group.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, and he thought to himself: "Are they here to steal the treasure?"

Thinking of this, he quickly looked for a place to hide, trying to avoid the sight of these monks.

However, the black-robed man's eyes seemed to quickly lock onto Jiang Qiong, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Boy, you actually dare to act alone here, you are really bold!"

Jiang Qiong was startled, but knew that he couldn't escape, so he stood up and said calmly, "What's wrong with hiding in the tomb alone?"

While speaking, Jiang Qiong pretended to be calm on the surface, but was secretly nervous in her heart.

He knew that the monks in front of him were definitely not good people, especially the man in black robe, who gave him a strong sense of threat.

"Humph, kid, you're quite courageous." The black-robed man sneered, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke in a cold voice:
"However, today you will have to pay the price for your ignorance. The treasure here should belong to us!"

"Belongs to you?" Jiang Qiong frowned, feeling unwilling.

He had just experienced a fierce battle, how could he easily give up these treasures?
"I obtained this treasure after defeating the Skeleton Guards. Why should I give it to you?"

"Defeat the skeleton?" The black-robed man raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but sneered: "With your strength? I think you are just a little kid, so innocent."

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Jiang Qiong was furious, and fighting spirit was burning in his heart.

“Haha, that’s ridiculous.” The black-robed man laughed and said, “Do you think you can act arrogant in front of us? If you don’t give me the treasure today, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

"You can try if you want the treasure." Jiang Qiong remained calm, his eyes firm, and said angrily, "I won't let you succeed easily!"

At this moment, the woman in white smiled gently, as if she was watching a good show, and said with a smile: "Boy, you have some backbone."

"But, facing the four of us, do you really think you can win?"

"I don't need to defeat you. I am confident that I can leave safely!" Jiang Qiong answered without hesitation, secretly thinking about how to deal with it.

"Escape safely?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "How naive!"

At this moment, the young boy suddenly interrupted and said, "I think we can give him a chance. After all, he has defeated the skeleton. Otherwise, give him a choice?" (End of this chapter)
