From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 9 Yaocao
The sunset glowed like fire, burning across half the sky. Chen Xuan rode the bronze horse with sharp eyes, walking in the air.

"Howl!"

In Tao Town, the four-eyed god standing on the bronze chariot saw this scene, put two fingers in his mouth and let out a loud whistle.

"Bang!"

Chen Xuan slammed his fist on the head of the restless bronze horse beneath him and shouted, "I am your master!"

"Woo!"

The bronze horse felt the pain and had no choice but to resolutely abandon the dark and join the light, and flew towards the center of Tao Town as ordered.

In the center of the town, there was a big hole in the ground, like the entrance to an underground palace.

This is the lair of the four-eyed god, and there is a faint orange light spilling out from the entrance.

"Those who sit on the fence will have a bad ending. They will be the first to be eliminated."

Chen Xuan grabbed the bronze horse's neck and tried to reason with it sincerely.

"Woo!"

The bronze horse dared not have any second thoughts, and immediately gathered up its strength and sprinted towards the entrance of the underground palace.

The four-eyed god finally realized that something was wrong at this time. He immediately jumped off the carriage with a roar, leaped up in one step, and chased after him at a terrifying distance of more than ten meters.

"boom!"

Moreover, the four-eyed god threw the bronze spear halfway through the journey, and it streaked across the sky like a meteor with such force that even the air seemed to explode.

"call!"

The bronze horse was very alert, as if it had anticipated this move, and landed in advance to avoid it.

"Good horse!"

Chen Xuan couldn't help but praise it. The bronze horse glided along the ground and entered the entrance of the underground palace. Chen Xuan and Chu Huogun didn't even need to look for its traces. It took the initiative to lead the two of them towards the depths of the underground palace where the treasure was hidden.

The underground palace is very large, with numerous corridors. Along the way, ancient bronze lamps are blazing to illuminate the way ahead.

"Click! Click!"

When entering a larger dark room, Chen Xuan saw neatly arranged groups of bronze-armored soldiers and war horses, numbering hundreds and forming a huge scale.

When they heard the noise, they opened their eyes and looked over in unison. The scene was extremely creepy!

A bunch of mountain breams!

Chen Xuan's heart tightened, and he quickly patted the bronze horse's back: "Brother Ma!"

"Ow!"

The bronze horse immediately stretched its neck and neighed, its roar full of arrogance, like a eunuch scolding a group of slaves of lower status.

The group of bronze mountain monsters suddenly fell silent, closed their eyes, and dared not look anymore.

"Brother Ma has a very high status." Chen Xuan said in his heart.

Soon, the bronze horse carried Chen Xuan and the others into the largest room and stopped in front of a huge bronze coffin.

"Is the precious tree on land hidden in it?"

Chen Xuan and Chu Huogun looked at each other.

This coffin was extremely huge, more than ten feet long, and was engraved with various patterns of mountains, swamps, plants, birds, beasts, insects and fish. Chen Xuan even saw some ancient beasts in it that looked like dragons, pythons, birds and wind, which seemed extremely wild and ancient.

"Bang!"

The bronze horse pushed the coffin lid halfway open and turned to signal Chen Xuan to quickly take the treasure away: "Woo, woo."

"it is good."

Chen Xuan immediately dismounted, let Chu Huogun bite the bronze horse's neck to scare it, and then quickly walked towards the half-open bronze coffin.

He leaned over and looked into the coffin, his eyes suddenly froze and his whole body was horrified.

"Xiao Wang, what are you doing? Hurry up and get the treasure and leave!"

Chu Huogun kept urging them on the side, feeling very nervous. This underground palace was the lair of a group of mountain hyenas, which made people feel inexplicably uneasy.

"..."

Chen Xuan turned his head in a daze and looked at Old Man Chu and the bronze horse who kept urging him.

"This treasure..."

Inside the coffin was a corpse.

A woman lay in a coffin, her hair in a black bun, her lips as red as blood, her neck as swan-like and snow-white. She wore an ancient dress woven from fine golden thread, which outlined her reclining figure with graceful curves like distant mountains...

Bronze coffin, gorgeous female corpse...

Chen Xuan found this scene too creepy!
Is this a human practicing Qigong, or a ghost in the mountains and swamps?
Is this underground palace her eternal resting place?

"But the body looks very full, as if it had just died..."

Chen Xuan guessed in his heart, and then he saw a palm-sized snow-white Ganoderma lucidum beside the woman.

The roots of white Ganoderma lucidum penetrated into the bottom of the bronze coffin, with a few golden flowers blooming on the top, and a few cocoon-like small fruits hanging on it. The whole body exudes pure white light, and there is a fragrant herbal scent in the air.

Land treasure tree!

"It's all here."

Chen Xuan was a martial artist, and although he was frightened at first, he could not be truly afraid. He calmed himself, quickly turned over and crawled into the coffin, leaning over in the slightly crowded space and groping forward.

"She also has a delicate fragrance..."

As Chen Xuan crawled forward, he smelled a fragrance similar to that of white Ganoderma lucidum coming from under him. Was it pickled?
"puff!"

Chen Xuan quickly uprooted the white Ganoderma lucidum beside the woman. "With this precious land tree, my path to enlightenment will definitely be greatly improved."

"Immortal Qi may even be cultivated early because of this!"

Chiya City, Qinglu Mountain, Wang Chan... these Qi practitioners traveled thousands of miles to the Southern Wilderness just to seek the natural treasures such as the Land Treasure Tree.

But at this moment, Chen Xuan was already on the road and got a treasure first!
Chen Xuan was so excited that he stuck his head out of the coffin and was about to leave when suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"Obviously offended."

This is an ancient underground palace with countless soldiers and mercenaries buried with the deceased. The specifications are extremely high. It is hard to imagine what kind of prominent status the people buried here had during their lifetime.

Even the soldiers and war horses buried with her became spiritual and turned into ghosts!

There must be other treasures in the coffin!
"Xiao Wang, are you not feeling well yet? What are you doing?" Old Man Chu urged anxiously, not understanding why he came out and went in again. Did he find another treasure?
"It'll be ready soon."

Chen Xuan replied vaguely, then fumbled around in the coffin several times, turned it upside down, and finally took off the hairpin from the woman's bun.

As soon as she took the hairpin, the woman's soft black hair suddenly spread out, giving off a touching beauty.

"Excuse me, you are already dead. Your beauty does not need to be admired by others. Please give me the hairpin."

Chen Xuan apologized in his heart. He realized that the golden and green hairpin was not an ordinary object. The tip was very sharp and could replace his small sword.

He apologized sincerely and took it away neatly.

In fact, he even wanted to take off the precious golden ancient clothes and take them away. They felt soft and silky to the touch, and had not decayed over the years, unlike any ordinary object.

But Chen Xuan did not take action in the end to save the woman's dignity.

"gone!"

After Chen Xuan cleaned up the spoils, he immediately climbed out of the bronze coffin, closed the coffin, and rode away on horseback.

He was unwilling to stay in the coffin any longer. He always felt that someone was watching him coldly, which made his whole body go cold. The atmosphere in this underground palace was too weird!

"【Yaocao】!"

When Old Man Chu saw the snow-white Ganoderma lucidum in Chen Xuan's hand, his eyes widened and he shouted:
"This is the Resurrection Grass. Legend has it that it only grows around the dead!"

Yaocao, recorded in many ancient books, is an extremely precious land medicine.

The oldest records can even be traced back to the distant mountain and sea era.

Legend has it that after an ancient mountain god died, the first Yaocao in the world grew on his body. It was an elixir of immortality.

Although the white Ganoderma lucidum in front of him could not be compared with that one, the birth of this thing itself carried an evil nature and its medicinal power was very strong.

Chen Xuan was speechless for a moment: "If the coffin doesn't hold a dead person, then could it hold a living person?"

"That's not what I meant. I just didn't expect it to be a precious land tree like the Resurrection Grass."

Old Man Chu gradually felt a wave of fear and said in a trembling voice, "The owner of this coffin must be someone very important... Xiao Wang, you didn't mess around in the coffin just now, did you? Be careful, or something big will happen."

Either they are powerful nobles in the mortal world with royal blood, or they are great monks in the world of Qi cultivation.

Huanyang grass, Huanyang grass, doesn’t it mean to bring the dead back to life!

"I know my limits, don't exaggerate!"

Chen Xuan's eyes twitched, and his heart felt cold after hearing what he said. He quickly ordered the bronze horse to run faster.

But in fact, he had even seen the [Little Underworld] with his own eyes and had developed a certain immunity to it.

No matter how weird this underground palace is, can it be more weird than the underworld?
Not to mention the powerful and wealthy in the secular world, even a Qi practitioner will become a handful of dust when he dies.

"Brother Ma, try another route."

Chen Xuan ordered the bronze horse not to return along the same route, as it would be blocked in the narrow corridor by the four-eyed divine being.

"Ow!"

The bronze horse was the most anxious. It had already changed sides and didn't want to be stopped. It ran wildly on all fours like a Hot Wheels and even appeared an illusion.

After a while.

One man, one horse and one head were blocked at the exit of the underground palace by the four-eyed divine man.

"How clever! They're blocking the road at the exit."

Chen Xuan's palms were sweating slightly. There was nothing to say. This worst-case scenario had already been anticipated.

"Kang!"

At the wide exit, a majestic figure stood holding a spear, more than two meters tall, wearing bronze armor. He was like a mountain blocking the way, and a bright divine light shot out from his four golden eyes.

Four eyes fighting!
A group of short figures wearing strange masks, carrying flags and holding lanterns, all focused their attention on him.

"You, wait—"

The four-eyed god raised his bronze spear, opened his lips slightly, and uttered a hoarse and harsh sound that Chen Xuan could not understand: "Ni, Chen——"

"on!"

Chen Xuan suddenly threw Chu Huogun's head out. The old man's head hovered in the air for a moment, his hair and beard spread out. He suddenly opened his mouth and took a breath: "The gods disappeared in ancient times, the fire virtue came to the world, and commanded the fire bird--"

trick!

"boom!"

The raging red flames erupted from the old man's mouth, nose and other orifices, like a long river of fire that engulfed the entire entrance to the underground palace.

Chen Xuan followed closely behind, riding his horse straight ahead.

"brush!"

In front, the sudden flash of the spear split the sea of fire!
