Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.

"This bronze object is Chen Ha."

The bearded man and his companions carried the bronze alchemy furnace, glanced at Chen Yulou, and then began talking to themselves.

Strange occurrences have been happening one after another in this place, each time fraught with danger.

If it weren't for that kid surnamed Su taking care of things, they would probably all be dead.

and so……

Chen Yulou walked over to Partridge Whistle and frowned, saying, "I'm afraid this matter can't be resolved so easily. Old Luo is not someone who's easy to talk to."

"What, the dignified leader of the Unloading Ridge faction, are you going to team up with that old codger to forcibly seize it?"

The men around the bearded man drew their weapons, wary of any potential danger.

Partridge Whistle had a stern face, clearly indicating that he wouldn't side with Chen Yulou either.

Chen Yulou pointed upwards: "If we don't get the stuff, those guys and guns aren't to be trifled with. How about this, we'll leave the stuff here for now? Don't worry, I, Chen Yulou, keep my word. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory result afterwards..."

"Don't worry about Luo Laowai and his men. That guy doesn't know that his enemies are already on their way. His territory has been destroyed, and his adjutant leaked the news about it."

Su Mu's voice came from below the Taoist temple.

Everyone was taken aback.

Nobody knows about this yet.

Trapped in Ping'er Mountain, none of them would receive such information from the outside world.

How did Su Mu know that?

Knowing that Luo Laowai had enemies outside, and that their territory had been destroyed, and that his enemies were attacking with Luo Laowai's personal guards?

"Is this true?" Chen Yulou asked with a serious expression.

"Have your Xieling men look back; they're sure to find some clues. When I came here, I saw other military units advancing down the mountain; they're probably not far from us."

Su Mu's voice rang out again.

Su Mu below was taking inventory of the belongings left behind by Guanshan Taibao, who had hidden here in an attempt to achieve immortality through self-destruction.

Based on the contents of the two ancient books that the system determined to contain supernatural elements, we can know that...

Any method of achieving immortality through corpse liberation requires, first and foremost, abstaining from grains and mundane food.

The body of the Guanshan Taibao had numerous small bags hanging from its waist, which must have contained mountain treasures such as the "Bai Shi Sang Jing" before them.

However, this guy ate most of it, leaving not much.

Then there were pills of various colors and attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as an inner core similar to a beast's treasure called the "Wind-Avoiding Pearl".

The recipes for the elixirs representing the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) are also found in the "Seven Tablets of the Cloudy Bookcase".

These kinds of elixirs would be similar to vitamins in the previous life in ancient times.

It is only suitable for people who are born lacking a certain attribute.

Of course, one can also use the Five Elements medicines to replenish the foundation of the Dao during fasting, and enter the gate of immortality.

"I've acquired two more books. This 'Guanshan Zhimi' should be similar to the half of the Feng Shui secret manual that Hu Bayi has. It's a technique for finding dragons and touching gold. It's quite interesting."

"Observing mountains and interpreting stars is a method of observing celestial phenomena, and it's quite interesting."

"This Corpse Dissolution Pill..."

【Corpse Dissolution Pill】

[Efficacy: Induces autopsy after ingestion]

[Type: Elixir]

The system's annotations are extremely simple and clear.

It seemed to be reminding Su Mu that he couldn't take this route.

Su Mu glanced at the corpse of Guanshan Taibao, whose spirit had been damaged by the thunder, and patted him on the head: "I told you not to try to do corpse dissection! You idiot! You scared the hell out of me!"

"Go ahead and move! Keep leading us! Now you're scared?"

"But the Feng family is really obsessed with becoming immortals."

"You count as one. Your Feng family's ancestor, Feng Shili, or what was his name again? He was also one. He sealed off the Earth Immortal Village and even found strange things like the Pangu Corpse Moss."

"It seems that old fellow was not content with just using ordinary methods to disintegrate his body and become the lowest-level ghost immortal in the immortal series. Instead, he wanted to climb to a higher level. However, it seems that he failed in the end and became a monster that was neither human nor corpse."

As a qualified time traveler, Su Mu was very familiar with the plots of Tomb Raider and Ghost Lantern.

Naturally, they also learned that the Guanshan Taibao lineage was created by an old guy surnamed Feng to suppress the four factions of tomb raiders.

After the establishment of the Guanshan Taibao lineage, remarkable achievements were made.

First, they destroyed several of the tomb raiders' talismans.

Later, the Green Forest Righteous Men Xieling were included in the anti-rebellion faction in the imperial court.

They wiped out the entire lineage of the Faqiu Zhonglang General and lost the Faqiu Heavenly Official Seal.

Only those from the rare Mountain Moving Taoist lineage managed to escape by sheer luck.

After settling three of the four factions.

The brothers Feng Shigu and Feng Shili, due to their differing ideologies, led their clan to a complete break...

"That's great, you even left me dried cinnabar, a pen, and yellow paper. Now you're completely stuck, old man..."

While taking stock of the spoils, Su Mu happened to see paper and pens placed in the corner.

He casually picked up the brush, collected some rainwater dripping from outside, moistened the cinnabar with it, and began to formally draw the talisman for the first time.

"One, two, three, four... Hey, you know, I usually have a hard time drawing these complicated talismans in one stroke, how come it went so smoothly this time?"

"Still not saying a word? Then I'll just stick it all over your face."

"Okay, I'll take that as your agreement."

Su Mu continued talking to himself, sticking all the completed talismans for suppressing evil spirits onto the forehead of the corpse of the Guanshan Taibao in front of him.

"If I hadn't brought the system with me when I transmigrated, I would have almost been killed by you just now. Even the plot character Partridge Whistle Chen Yulou is very wary of you. This time it's my turn, and I won't tolerate you."

"I'm leaving. Don't see me off, and don't say goodbye again. Bye-bye."

Su Mu, who jumped down into the pit from above, saw the exit in front of the cave.

If you follow this exit, it leads to the Alchemy Hall above.

"Is this enough to start a business?"

Su Mu arrived at the brightly lit area and looked up at the crowd above who were also taking inventory of the Taoist temple's ancient artifacts.

The bearded man did the math and nodded, "This bronze alchemy furnace alone is enough. The rest of the miscellaneous items are about all we need, hehe."

These Changsha tomb raiders, who lived under the roof of the Nine Gates for years, had never seen such fine goods before.

"Chen Yulou, how about we make a deal?"

Su Mu looked at Chen Yulou, the leader of the Unloading Ridge faction, who was staring blankly, seemingly lost in thought, and spoke up.

Chen Yulou nodded blankly: "What? Tell me."

Su Mu walked forward with his hands behind his back: "We won't get involved in what happens next. This isn't the general's tomb you're looking for; that should be somewhere else on this mountain."

"I have a corpse-suppressing talisman here, which can help you control the zombie king that will be born from this blessed land and turn into a zombie. I can also cast a protective golden light spell on you once, which can protect you from a fatal injury."

"After you take the goods back, remember to send the corresponding reward to Changsha. I'll be waiting for you there."

"..."
