As soon as he finished speaking, Li Musheng raised his hand and reached out to grab the bald old man from a distance.

The next moment, an invisible and unstoppable force instantly grabbed the hairless old man and pulled him close, freeing him from the pursuit of the Yin Zhe insects.

Then, as Li Musheng led the bald old man in the direction indicated on the parchment, he asked him:
"Tell me, what have you learned?"

Upon hearing this, the hairless old man turned around and glanced behind him. In the distance, the thousands upon thousands of Yin-Zhi insects in the city were still surging like an undercurrent, but they no longer posed any threat to him!
The bald old man visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Musheng before him, saying:

"I unintentionally entered a certain place in the city and found a puzzle box there. However, what I did not expect was that it was guarded by a Yin-Zhi insect. I was caught off guard and fell into its trap."

Before Li Musheng could speak, the bald old man took out a six-sided, dark green box from his robes and handed it to him.

Li Musheng took the mechanism box, studied it for a while, and then turned to look at the bald old man.

The bald old man immediately understood Li Musheng's meaning and quickly explained:
"I can't open this mechanism box in a short time. Besides, it can't be opened by force, otherwise the contents inside will be destroyed automatically."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng pondered for a moment, but ultimately did not violently dismantle it. Instead, he tossed it to the bald old man and said:

"Open this thing. I need to see what's inside within an hour."

Having said that, Li Musheng didn't dwell on the matter further, but continued on to the place indicated on the parchment.

The bald old man clearly looked distressed, but naturally he dared not disobey Li Musheng's wishes, so he had no choice but to take the puzzle box and try his best to solve it.

At the same time, the large black cat, resembling a black tiger, kept leaping and following behind Li Musheng, its eyes frequently glancing at the mechanism box in the old man's hand, clearly eyeing the treasure inside with covetous intent.

Soon, following the instructions on the parchment, Li Musheng arrived at a five-story tower in Baidi City.

The tower, built of white jade, is located in an inconspicuous alley in the city. Although it has a unique design, it does not attract much attention.

Li Musheng stood in front of the tower, not immediately entering, but instead squinting his eyes to examine the tower from top to bottom.

Seeing Li Musheng's appearance, the bald old man beside him looked puzzled, then stopped solving the puzzle box in his hand and asked:

"Is there anything special about this tower?"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng stroked his chin and said:
“There is definitely something different here.”

Although this wasn't the first time Li Musheng had encountered strange powers originating from divine beasts, this was the first time since arriving in Baidi City that he had felt that strange yet familiar power existing within the white jade tower before him.

Therefore, it can be roughly inferred that the white jade tower in front of us may be related to the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger.

At this moment, Li Musheng beckoned to the big black cat, then casually pushed open the door of the white jade tower in front of him and stepped inside.

The white-haired old man hesitated for a moment upon seeing this, but considering that the Yin-hidden insects were still in the city, he ultimately chose to follow Li Musheng and enter the tower as well.

As they entered, the doors of the white jade tower slowly closed. At the same time, as if triggering some mechanism within the tower, a layer of hazy white light suddenly rose throughout the entire tower, instantly enveloping Li Musheng and his companions. The instant the light faded, the large black cat and the bald old man accompanying Li Musheng were both "frozen" in time, like clay or wooden sculptures, completely losing all their expressions.

Only Li Musheng stood quietly in place, the light from the tower shining on his body, but it was blocked by a layer of barely perceptible golden light, and could not fall even a fraction of it.

"No, this power aura seems to be somewhat different from that of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and other divine beasts."

Li Musheng frowned slightly, remaining standing still without making any movement.

The ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger, wields the power of slaughter. He has fought against the people of the Hidden Killing Pavilion and the White Tiger Temple, so he is naturally familiar with it.

The White Tiger's Fang contained the aura of the ferocious White Tiger, but it was completely different from the aura of power before us.

The power within the white jade tower was not mixed with any destructive aura; on the contrary, it was very gentle. The peculiar abilities it displayed were also something Li Musheng had never encountered before.

Li Musheng couldn't quite put his finger on what this ability was.
For example, the big black cat and the hairless old man beside him at this moment, although both of them were unable to move due to the light in the tower, Li Musheng could sense that their meridians and acupoints were unobstructed and their martial arts strength was not restricted at all.

Even so, the man and the cat remained as still as statues, showing no reaction whatsoever. Li Musheng even tried to enter their dreams using Meng Qianqiu.

However, they discovered that their dreams were like stagnant water, as if they had no consciousness at all.

"Since the power here does not belong to the ferocious beast White Tiger, it is probably the work of the White King, and it is indeed worth studying."

Li Musheng looked thoughtful. The life of the White King was already amazing enough, and he was also the younger brother of the Tianqi Emperor.

The tower left in the tomb was quite peculiar, which naturally aroused Li Musheng's interest in exploring it.

While Li Musheng was studying the tower, time was flying by outside the white jade tower.

Even the Yin-Ye insects that had originally been chasing after him had followed the scent all the way to the White Jade Tower and lingered there for a long time, but in the end, they retreated like the tide because they could not find the old man's scent.

Meanwhile, Fairy Baiyun had already returned from the inn to the residence where Li Musheng lived. However, upon learning that Li Musheng had left on business, Fairy Baiyun waited for half a day, but ultimately, without Li Musheng present, she had no interest in staying any longer and left once again.

It wasn't until the next morning, when Fairy Baiyun received a message, that she returned to the inn where the Earthly Guide Ancestor was staying.

"The tomb of the White Emperor has been found!"

Fairy Baiyun gave Ancestor Diyin a token, instructing him to go to a designated place in White Emperor City, saying:

"I am currently unable to enter the Tomb of the White Emperor, so you, old man, will go in my place. But let me make it clear beforehand: if you find anything good inside, remember to share half with me."

Upon hearing this, the Earthly Ancestor naturally showed joy, but he immediately narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the token in Fairy White Cloud's hand, and said:
"Fairy, you have quite the nerve! Aren't you afraid I'll kill you on the spot to silence you, and then take this token to the White Emperor's tomb for myself?" (End of Chapter)
