Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 49 The Stone Chamber

Little Fairy Doctor kept glancing at Xiao Bai, who was getting closer and closer, out of the corner of her eye, and she was a little excited.

A slight smile played on her lips as she imagined this cold-faced guy saying many nice things to her before she would reluctantly take action.

To her surprise, Xiao Bai did not walk up to her, but instead stood a short distance behind her.

This guy isn't here to ask her for something?

Did he find the switch to the mechanism?

Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly turned around and saw Xiao Bai stepping on something on the ground.

"Creak." A sound rang out in the silent cave.

The gate, which had just been emitting a faint yellow light, returned to its original stone-blue color and slowly moved upwards.

As the door moved upwards, a ray of light shone through the opening.

Little Fairy Doctor opened her alluring red lips wide, surprised to find that this bastard had actually opened them.

The stone door opened completely, and the light inside drove away the darkness outside. Xiao Bai waited for the air inside to circulate with the outside air before stepping inside.

After Xiao Bai went inside, Little Fairy Doctor got up and hurriedly followed him.

Upon entering the gate, the space quickly opens up to a stone chamber that appears ancient and spacious. The stone walls around the chamber are inlaid with a dozen or so moonstones for lighting, illuminating the entire chamber brightly.

On a high platform in the center of the stone chamber sits a chair, with a skeleton perched on it. However, the skeleton's head has fallen onto its thigh bone, and its empty eye sockets are staring directly at the main entrance, giving it a rather eerie appearance and adding to the chamber's sinister atmosphere.

In front of the high platform, there is a very large bluestone platform. Three stone boxes are neatly placed on the platform, and you can vaguely see that each of these stone boxes has a keyhole.

Besides these, there was a layer of golden reflection in the stone chamber, giving the entire cave a sense of wealth. Xiao Bai looked at the corner of the stone chamber.

Except for the innermost corner on the right front, the other three were filled with gold coins and jewels, and the golden light in the cave was reflected from these gold coins.

"Ice Spirit Flame Grass!" Xiao Bai heard two exclamations.

One was aged, the other was clear-headed.

The old doctor used soul transmission, which Little Fairy Doctor did not hear.

The girl exclaimed in surprise and quickly ran to the innermost corner on the right front, ignoring the glittering golden objects.

In that corner, there was a small flower bed made of mud, with all sorts of flowers and plants planted in it, and a fragrance mixed with the scent of herbs and flowers lingered around it.

"Purple-blue grass, Hundred-spirit ginseng fruit, snow lotus seeds, ice-heart flower." Little Fairy Doctor's eyes shone brightly as she squatted by the flower bed, uttering one herb name after another. These were all high-grade medicinal materials that were hard to find elsewhere.

"Young Xiao Bai, could you give me the Ice Spirit Flame Grass in the very center of the flower bed? I'll trade something for it!" Yao Lao in the ring said somewhat urgently.

Xiao Bai looked at the herb that the old apothecary had mentioned. This herb was divided into red and white. The white branches were covered with specks of ice crystal-like substance, while the fiery red crown was surrounded by a misty aura, making it look like a flickering flame. The presence of two different attributes on the same plant looked quite magical.

Xiao Bai knew that this Ice Spirit Flame Grass, like the Blood Lotus Essence from before, was an essential ingredient for refining Blood Lotus Pills and also a necessary item for devouring strange flames.

"Okay!" Xiao Bai nodded in agreement.

"Haha. Alright, alright, what do you want, kid? As long as it's not too outrageous, I'll grant your wish!"

At this moment, Yao Lao was very happy. He originally thought that he would only be looking for the strange fire and would not have any other gains, but he did not expect that he and Xiao Bai would come to this Monster Mountain Range and almost gather all the ingredients for the Blood Lotus Pill. How could he not be happy?

"I don't need anything for now, but I'll write it down! Please don't refuse me if I think of something later!"

Xiao Bai wasn't without desires, but it wasn't the right time yet—for example, the method of obtaining poison pills.

If I were to ask now, the old doctor would definitely give it to me, since it's something he considers useless and doesn't value much.

But with a calamity-inducing poison body right in front of us, when Elder Yao finds out, he will inevitably have some doubts, so let's wait a little longer, since it can't escape anyway.

"Don't worry, I never go back on my word. Just don't go too far and make things difficult for me!" the old doctor said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Don't worry, senior. You should know that Xiao Bai is not the kind of person who lacks discretion!" Xiao Bai said with a faint smile.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Bai felt something pulling him. He looked down and saw a small hand tugging at his robe, and a pair of bright, watery eyes looking at him.

"Young Master, could you share some of these medicinal herbs with me?" Little Fairy Doctor said pitifully.

Xiao Bai sneered inwardly. This girl was all talk about being a young master when she needed something, and a scoundrel when she didn't. But looking at her cutesy act, Xiao Bai almost agreed.

He took out many jade boxes and a small jade shovel from the ring; these were things he had prepared in Wutan City.

He handed these things to Little Fairy Doctor, neither saying he would give them to her nor that he wouldn't.

Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor assumed Xiao Bai had agreed and was overjoyed. She hurriedly took the jade box and shovel from his hands, patting her rather ample chest with her small hands as she assured him:

"Rest assured, young master, I guarantee that all these medicinal herbs will be dug up intact, and not a single one will be damaged!"

Xiao Bai nodded calmly, secretly overjoyed, and silently encouraged her: "Keep up the good work, you working stiff!"

Seeing Xiao Bai nod, Little Fairy Doctor was full of energy. For someone like her who loves medicine, obtaining a rare herb was far more attractive than the piles of gold coins not far away.

At the same time, she felt a little annoyed. If it weren't for this guy, all these things would have been hers, all of them would have been hers!

Unlike now, I have to beg this jerk to get even a little bit of something, and I feel like crying.

"Damn bastard!"

He gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, then carefully began to dig out the precious herbs from the flower bed and put them into the jade box.

After seeing her start working, Xiao Bai turned around and walked to the bluestone platform in the center of the stone chamber. He looked at the three boxes on it, reached out and tried to lift them, but couldn't. It seemed that the boxes were attached to the bluestone platform.

Touching the keyhole on the box, Xiao Bai looked up and his gaze moved to the skeleton on the chair. After scanning it for a moment, he saw three dark keys hanging on the skeleton's hand, forming a stark contrast with the white bones.

Walking up to the chair, Xiao Bai first bowed to the skeleton on it and said softly:

"Senior, I apologize for offending you!"

After saying that, he used his soul power to lift three keys from the skeleton's palm without damaging the skeleton in the slightest, and they came to Xiao Bai's side.

Xiao Bai took the key in front of him, turned around and slowly walked towards the bluestone platform behind him.
