Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 89: Black Bone Reappears
"What kind of immortality are these bastards cultivating?"

With another sigh, Kang Dabao ignored the objects on the ground and looked at the coffin in front of him.

There was nothing unusual about the coffin, except that the barbarian characters on the front of the coffin, which were formed from the boy's pus and blood, were still glowing golden.

The main material used for this coffin should be ironwood, and the lacquer used is made from the bark of an ordinary black oak tree, both of which are quite common first-level materials.

A coffin of this grade could be sold for a maximum of ten spirit stones according to the market price. This was not as good as the one used by Master Kang Dabao. It was somewhat inconsistent with the identity of the tomb owner as the "Marshal of the Army of the Pseudo Shanrong Kingdom" as mentioned by this vicious woman.

But if you take a closer look, you can see that this coffin was made with great care, and the tomb owner used a rare Yin-Yang refining method during his lifetime.

The yang coffin is in the open, and a Qigong practitioner with slightly stronger skills can easily open the coffin lid.

Inside was a yellow Taoist robe, which was paired with a Hunyuan scarf and cloud shoes, and placed neatly in a row.

Next to the Taoist robe there was a first-grade low-quality black shield and a first-grade mid-quality silver axe. These were common funerary objects found in the cenotaphs of Qigong monks from wealthy families and were not considered unusual.

The Yin coffin was in darkness, where a mustard seed magic weapon was refined and the relics of true cultivation were stored.

If someone else wants to open it, they need to meet two requirements at the same time: first, the person who opens it must be a descendant of the tomb owner, and second, this person's cultivation must be at the late stage of Qi training or above.

Of course, if you are a fake cultivator, or even a true cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, you can easily break these few tricks left by the tomb owner during his lifetime, and there is nothing to say.

But for low-level cultivators, it would be difficult to find a way to crack it.

Considering that Taoist Wu’s family has not produced a late-stage cultivator for several generations, it is obvious that he has become “a swallow in the hall of the Wang and Xie families in the past.”

Even for a descendant of the true bloodline, it was very difficult to practice, which was why he attached so much importance to the realm-breaking pill that Niu Guier took out.

As for the family of that vicious woman, it took them two generations to come up with such unorthodox methods that were against the will of heaven and earth, and they were able to barely open the lid of the coffin.

According to the original intention of the tomb owner, the regulations and layout of the entire tomb chamber are quite simple, which is the standard for ordinary cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.

If an outsider broke in by chance and found the Yang coffin, if he had some ability, he could take the two instruments away and search the other secondary tombs. He would probably return satisfied and would not think too much about it.

Although it is not difficult to make a coffin into a mustard seed magic weapon, most people would find it hard to imagine that there is something hidden in the simple coffin in front of them.

Things turned out pretty much as expected.

A wild cultivator like Lu Wen who had no inheritance, even though he accidentally entered the tomb last time, he didn't even see a coffin. He ate the lionworm eggs as if they were grass stone pills and went back contentedly.

The poor tomb owner deliberately made the coffin look ordinary, and there was almost no means to trap and kill outsiders in the cave, just to pass on his relics as safely as possible to future generations. However, he could not resist the good fortune of Master Kang today.

Thinking of this, Kang Dabao first picked up the important things on the ground like the Liuhe Zhengyang dates into his own storage bag, and then took the woman's storage bag. He had saved up quite a few storage bags through no-cost business these days, and his preparation was much more than that of the vicious woman, so all the treasures in the stone chamber could be stored.

But there must be something left in the coffin!

The gap between the coffin lids was too small. Kang Dabao pondered for a moment and assumed the posture of "Ape Demon Cannon Hammer". Although he had only mastered the "Ape Demon Cannon Hammer" to the entry level, it was absolutely impossible to use it against the enemy in battle, but hitting an immovable target was not a problem.

After a loud "bang", the coffin lid flew out and hit the thin partition wall of the tomb.

A huge hole was smashed in the partition wall, and low-level blue bricks refined with spiritual fire fell to the ground, raising a large amount of dust.

Kang Dabao walked carefully to the coffin to check it out, and couldn't help but show joy on his face. It turned out that the treasure that the thief woman took out did not even contain all the essence!
"Talisman?! The words on it are powerful and vigorous, and according to the sect's classics, it is at least the top of the second level! Or even the third level! Such treasures may have been made by upper-level Jindan cultivators! What a treasure, but it's a pity that it may be difficult for Qi training cultivators to use it. Keep it, keep it, this treasure may not even have been available to Grandmaster Zhang back then."

"'Water Moon Splitting Light Art', a low-grade cosmic skill! It can be cultivated to the early stage of the golden elixir! What a pity, Daoye doesn't have water spiritual roots, and neither does the third brother. Hey, neither does the second brother. Pei Yi can practice it and see."

"What is this? Is it the embryo of a second-level magic weapon? No, that is not a good thing for a true cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, so it is not worth hiding at the end. Could it be the prototype of a magic weapon?! If it is really the prototype of a magic weapon, then it will be a fortune! The two ancestors of the Dingnan Niu family and the Hancheng Yue family combined, I am afraid they can't come up with one!"

"This is... This is a foundation building pill! It's a foundation building pill! There are actually two of them!"

After seeing the end, Kang Dabao swallowed back the exclamation that was about to come out. After all, his character was much better than that vicious woman, but he was still so surprised by the windfall that he almost lost his mind.

Because there were so many treasures here, Kang Dabao could hardly use his limited knowledge of mathematics to calculate how much the treasures here would be worth when measured in spirit stones.

"This is a huge fortune, but it can also turn into a disaster that destroys a family and a clan in a moment!" Thinking of this, Master Kang finally calmed down and regained some consciousness.

Kang Dabao has never lived a rich life in his two lives, which is a sign of his fear of poverty. When people suddenly become rich from poverty, they are most likely to act rashly and do stupid things.

"If the news leaks out, I'm afraid that the poorer Jindan cultivators will come to take my life." Kang Dabao started to think and became alert.

He thought it over and decided not to tell anyone what he had gained here.

It's not that I think my junior brothers and disciples are untrustworthy, but I want to eliminate the risk of information leaks as much as possible. Matters concerning the life and death of the entire sect cannot be neglected in the slightest.

When Master Kang thought of this, he arranged the coffin again, thinking that he could explain it to his two junior brothers after they arrived.

"What is this?" Kang Dabao calmed down, carefully put away the embryo of the suspected magic weapon, and then explored the deepest part of the mustard seed space in the coffin.

An object about ten feet long and five feet wide, tightly wrapped in second-level spiritual brocade, came into his sight.

"Wow, I should have thought of it earlier." Kang Dabao quickly uncovered the spiritual brocade, revealing a neatly dressed, uncorrupted barbarian corpse.

This barbarian is nine feet tall and has a strong build. If he stands up, wouldn't he be as tall as a small hill?
"It's at least the body of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building!" Kang Dabao thought to himself, "If it falls into the hands of those evil cultivators who have the ability to refine zombies, won't they cry with envy?"

The Shan Man and the Yunjiaozhou monks were enemies for generations, and they had been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and it was hard to tell who was right and who was wrong. It was nothing more than the former scolding the latter for being ignorant and lowly, and the latter scolding the former for being exploitative and cruel.

The founding of the Chongming Sect originated from the experience of Patriarch Zhang in joining the army to pacify the barbarians. From this standpoint, Kang Dabao had no psychological burden when he thought of dealing with the physical bodies of the mountain barbarian monks in exchange for some benefits.

"Perhaps it can be sold to the Liang Yi Sect?" Kang Dabao suddenly remembered the notice posted in Xuanwei City a hundred years ago by the Liang Yi Sect seeking to purchase the physical bodies of barbarian monks.

It was from that period of time that the few remaining remnants of the mountain barbarians in Jackdaw Mountain were almost completely wiped out by wave after wave of monks from various states who went into the mountain to earn bonuses.

Since that notice was posted, not only the barbarian monks who were struggling to survive in Jackdaw Mountain suffered, but the lives of the mortals in the mountain barbarian tribes also became more miserable.

Even if the cultivators of David Immortal Dynasty would not be so mean as to attack ordinary mountain barbarians, once they lost the protection of the cultivators, the ordinary people in the mountain barbarian tribes would be nothing more than food for the monsters and birds in Jackdaw Mountain, and it was hard to say whether they would have a good ending.

And the actual situation is indeed so. According to what Liangyi Sect said later when they took credit for the incident, "Since then, there have been almost no traces of barbarians in Jackdaw Mountain, and the world has become peaceful."

This is also the reason why several families headed by Chongming Sect can still live safely on the outskirts of Jackdaw Mountain with such weak strength.

As a major Jindan sect, the Liangyi Sect posted a notice in Xuanwei City, so the Dingnan Niu family naturally did not dare to remove it without the explicit order of the Liangyi Sect. Anyway, Kang Dabao had seen it when he went to Xuanwei City last time.

But it is worth mentioning that since the last barbarian rebellion, the Liangyi Sect announced to the outside world that several of its Jindan monks were traveling around or in seclusion, allowing the Shanrong barbarians to ravage three states and forty-one counties. At the same time, they also began to purchase a large number of barbarian monks' bodies from the monks of Yunjiao State from time to time.

According to rumors spread by gossipers in the market, this was because the Liangyi Sect's Grand Elder had just made the acquaintance of an evil cultivator who had reached the Golden Core stage, and they hit it off right away and became brothers.

After that, the great elder invited the evil cultivator to join the sect and made him a worshiper. Therefore, a new lineage was established in Luxi Mountain of Liangyi Sect two or three hundred years ago, which specialized in teaching the method of refining zombies.

Master Kang couldn't tell whether what the street folks said was true or false, and he couldn't imagine the methods of those high-level monks even if he racked his brains.

Perhaps the Liangyi Sect purchased the barbarian cultivator's body in order to serve as an inducement for one of their sect's ancestors to start refining pills.

"Sell it to Liangyi Sect? But there's no market price for it." Of course there are records of transactions for the corpses of barbarian foundation-building monks, but I've never heard of minions like Kang Dabao.

The head of the Kang family didn't feel distressed for long, and immediately slapped himself in the face without any mercy.

"You really haven't woken up yet. You, Kang, are so brave to do business with the Jindan Sect." Kang Dabao laughed at himself, "Then why not just sell it to the Fengzhou Ge family?"

"Pa." Another slap. "Damn it, are you still not awake? Isn't this the same principle?"

Kang Dabao was so angry that he laughed. Maybe the Liangyi Sect would still have some manners as a superior sect and cover up the dirty deeds.

But if a down-to-earth evil family like the Fengzhou Ge family had evil intentions, they would probably capture me and force me to refine oil.

If a mountain barbarian who is in the late stage of foundation building really cultivates his physical body and cannot gain enough benefits in return, it will make Master Kang very angry to death.

Then he changed his mind and thought: "Doesn't Zhao Gu have a top-grade "Wangshan Zombie Refining Method" in his storage bag? Why don't I just use it myself?"

This idea suddenly came into Kang Dabao's mind, and after a brief thought, he felt it was feasible.

Anyway, the David Immortal Dynasty doesn't care much about things now. Since a thousand years ago, many evil sects have openly divided the land, conferred titles, and recruited disciples.

If I practice some evil methods only to protect myself, the Demon-Snatching Bureau probably won't have the time to take care of this trivial matter, right?
If I succeed in refining the zombies in the late stage of foundation building, then even if I were a foundation building cultivator in person, I would probably have to fight him, right?

Why would I be afraid of the Demon Correction Division then? Demon? Who is the demon? The Taoist priest might even be a distinguished guest of the Demon Correction Division!

Kang Dabao was daydreaming sweetly when he suddenly heard a strange yet familiar vibration coming from his storage bag.

Before he could come to his senses, the black bone suddenly shot out from the storage bag again and hit the barbarian's corpse in front of Kang Dabao.

"Puff." Before Kang Dabao could even dodge, the flying powder hit his face.

"Bah," Kang Dabao's face suddenly turned ugly, "Damn it! I seem to have swallowed a lot just now! Whatever, the physical body is gone, and the other things can't be wasted!"

With a grim look on his face, Sect Leader Kang put away the spiritual brocade that had been used to wrap the corpse.

Compared with this harvest, what is more worthy of joy is probably that this precious black bone, which is suspected to be a spiritual treasure, has finally moved again.

But what does this mean? Kang Dabao has killed many people these days. In the past, Chongming Sect had fought many battles, leaving corpses all over the ground, but Hei Gu was obviously unmoved.

Is it because these barbarians have stronger bones and muscles, and their food is more chewy and tastes better?
Or is this broken bone only interested in the so-called Grand Marshal of the Army, Gu Huntong, and his descendants?

This is not right! Wasn't the boy who just died also a barbarian monk and a descendant of Guhuntong?
Could it be that because the boy became a monk by taking tiger and wolf drugs, Hei Gu thought he was a fake?
The black bones floating in the air still looked ordinary and black. All the blood, flesh and marrow of Gu Huntong were sucked out by it, and no soul of a transformed god or a saintly maiden appeared from the black bones to guide the master Kang in his practice.

Kang Dabao couldn't help but get angry. The corpse of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building wasn't enough? How many spirit stones could it be exchanged for?!
What do you want to eat next time? The Jindan Ancestor's? Don't even think about it! Even if it's a living Jindan cultivator, I have never seen one in my lifetime, let alone looking for those who are dead!
Fortunately, it was not really without any change. Kang Dabao grabbed the black bone standing in the air, held it in his hand and kept looking at it. He saw that there was a faint silver seal immortal word on the tail of the black bone that appeared from time to time.

"Hey, is it this word?" Kang Dabao had a strange expression on his face. He leaned in closely and examined the silver seal immortal text over and over again, and was silent for a long time.

I don't know how long he looked at it, but finally, Sect Leader Kang sighed: "Damn it, I don't know this word!"
