My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

After thinking for a while, Tian Siyao said, "Then we should start with this jade pendant."

"It seems to be somehow related to the tomb raiders' madness."

Mu Wuling thought for a moment, "The special symbols on the jade pendant might be a clue."

“You can try to decipher them and find a way to activate the mechanism or trigger the spell.”

Looking at the ancient tomb artifacts displayed around them, Qin Miyue said, "We need to find information about these symbols and mysteries as soon as possible."

Tian Siyao clenched her fists. "Time is of the essence, but I believe we will be able to solve this mystery and find the answer."

after that.

Tian Siyao and the others returned to Lotus Village.

After they left the ancient tomb, Tian Siyao felt an invisible pressure approaching her, and she tried her best to remain calm.

She knew the adventure was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Tian Siyao grabbed Mu Wuling and asked with a troubled expression, "Mr. Mu, is it possible that we might encounter a similar situation?"

Have you ever heard of other ancient tombs containing secrets that could drive people insane?

Mu Wuling frowned. "As far as I know, an explorer once discovered a substance called 'forbidden drug' in an ancient tomb. After accidentally ingesting it, he developed symptoms similar to dementia."
Tian Siyao was shocked. "Banned drugs? Does that mean we'll encounter the same problem?"

Mu Wuling pondered for a moment, "No matter what, we cannot let our guard down."

"If such a substance does exist, we must be careful."

"Given the current situation, we still need to continue our cooperation to completely unravel the mystery of this doping incident."

"Moreover, I've always been interested in ancient tombs, and now that I have this jade pendant as a clue, I still want to continue exploring."

Tian Siyao decided to continue working with Mu Wuling, believing that only through his guidance could she find a solution to the problem.

Although she and Mu Wuling had only just met.

Tian Siyao realized that the danger she and her companions were facing was growing.

She turned to look at Qin Miyue and Chen Ze, and found that they were both looking at her, both willing to take the risk with her.

Despite being filled with fear, they will not be troubled.

"Let's be careful and not expose ourselves too easily," Tian Siyao said calmly.

"Perhaps some answers can still be found in Lotus Village."

Guiyue is the village chief of Lianhua Village; perhaps she can provide some information about the ancient tomb and related mysteries.

The four hurriedly set off for the village chief's house in Guiyue Village.

Guiyue was busy arranging the backyard and did not notice the four people standing quietly at the door.

Tian Siyao stepped forward and called out softly, "Village Chief, we have some questions we'd like to ask you."

Guiyue looked up and saw that it was Tian Siyao and the others. She put down her tools and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there a problem again?"

“That’s how it is, Village Chief.” Tian Siyao recounted their experience entering the ancient tomb to Guiyue, mentioning the incident of the tomb raiders going mad.

"We hope to obtain some information from you about the ancient tomb and related mysteries."

After listening to Tian Siyao's account, Guiyue remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Actually, I've heard similar rumors too."

"This adventurer organization once excavated an ancient tomb near Lotus Village, and as far as I know, that tomb did indeed contain a substance known as a 'forbidden drug'."

All four of them stared intently at Guiyue, hoping she would continue speaking.

"I've heard that this 'banned drug' has miraculous effects, but it also carries extremely high risks."

"Some explorers attempted to gain power by consuming or touching forbidden drugs, but there was only one outcome: they eventually went insane."

Guiyue's voice gradually lowered.

"However, this forbidden drug also has another name, which is the Fragrance Pill." Tian Siyao breathed a sigh of relief, putting some of her worries at ease.

Chen Ze looked at Tian Siyao with curiosity and said excitedly, "If we can find the secret of the Fragrance Pills, we might be able to gain even more power! I'm really looking forward to this adventure."

Qin Miyue smiled faintly, maintaining her calm demeanor: "Whether it's banned drugs or exotic fragrance pills, we will find the answer."

"It seems we must develop a detailed plan and make thorough preparations before heading to the Fog Extreme Vein." Upon hearing Qin Miyue mention the Fog Extreme Vein, Mu Wuling enthusiastically interjected, "The Fog Extreme Vein is a very mysterious place!"

"Rumor has it that many rare treasures and ancient spells are hidden there. If we can get inside, we might find even more."

Tian Siyao frowned slightly. "The Misty Extremes are a dangerous place; quite a few people get lost there."

"We must be adequately prepared."

After some discussion, the four decided to accept Mu Wuling's suggestion and go together to the Misty Earth Vein to find the Fragrant Pills.

Early the next morning, the four of them arrived at the entrance to the valley near Lotus Village.

That is the only road leading to the Fog Pole ley lines.

Standing at the entrance to the valley, Tian Siyao felt the thick moisture and a strange atmosphere.

Chen Ze couldn't help but lean closer and take a sniff. "What exactly does this strange fragrance smell like?"

Tian Siyao frowned. "It is said that the fragrance pills emit a captivating yet indescribable aroma."

But no one has yet determined exactly what it tastes like.

Qin Miyue stared at the entrance of the valley and said softly, "Don't be misled by the exotic fragrance, Mr. Mu."

Do you have any specific maps or clues about the Fog Pole ley lines?

Mu Wuling took out an old piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Qin Miyue. "This is a fragment of a map that I obtained from a few explorers before."

"It shows the general direction leading to the Fog Pole ley lines."

Tian Siyao took the piece of paper and examined it carefully.

Although the picture is blurry, they can see intersecting mountains, dense forests, and a cave that seems to be hiding some kind of secret.

They had been inside once before and were somewhat familiar with it, but there were still many places they hadn't explored.

"This might be the place we need to go."

Tian Siyao's gaze was firm. "We must carefully control every step and do our best to avoid getting into danger." Tian Siyao and the others returned to Lotus Village, their hearts still filled with the fright they had just experienced.

They all began to act more cautiously.

Look around warily, always ready to deal with any potential dangers.

Walking down the village street, Tian Siyao felt an invisible pressure approaching her.

She gripped the amulet tightly, trying her best to remain calm.

She knew the road to debunking the doping scandal would be fraught with peril, but she was determined to persevere.

"Mr. Mu, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Tian Siyao asked softly, "Are there any ancient tombs within the Misty Extremes that hold secrets that could drive people insane?"

After a moment of silence, Mu Wuling replied, "Indeed, some rumors about the secrets of ancient tombs can have a negative impact on people."

"For example, the well-known 'soul-summoning talisman' is one of them."

"It is said that contact with this kind of talisman paper will cause amnesia or mental disorder."

"However, the specific circumstances require further investigation to determine."

Tian Siyao's heart skipped a beat, feeling that this clue might help them solve the mystery of the banned drug incident.

She decided to continue working with Mu Wuling.

In order to fully uncover the truth of all this.

However, she also became increasingly aware that the dangers facing herself and her companions were growing.

"The secret of banned drugs will not be easily revealed, but we will definitely find the answer."

The four revised their plans and agreed to depart for the Fog Pole Vein the next day.

They knew it would be a dangerous and arduous journey. (End of Chapter)
