A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

Depend on!

He had already concealed his true nature with treasures, how could Lin Xiu still have foreseen it!

........

Ye Fan could tell from Duan De's guilty expression that he had definitely taken a lot of things!

Was what Duan De was carrying just an object? It was practically his life!

"You fatso! I knew you wouldn't tell the truth! Now! Confess! How much did you take?"

"Cough cough... just a little bit, I really only took a tiny bit."

Duan De's limbs twitched incessantly, but he was unable to resist the physical body of the Ancient Sacred Body, so he could only cast a pleading look at Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu: "......"

Lin Xiu's lips twitched. He hadn't expected that even though he claimed he could deduce exactly how much Duan De had taken, Duan De would still act like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

Chapter 96 My Second and Third Brothers Are Invincible! (Fourth Update)

Lin Xiu couldn't help but marvel that only someone as shameless and stingy as Duan De could amass such a vast fortune.

Since Duan De hasn't fattened up yet, Lin Xiu plans to give him a little more time to gain weight.

"Alright, Ye Fan, you don't need to be in such a hurry."

“I’ve calculated it. Duan De will only get about 30%, which is about the same as what he should have gotten. That’s why I didn’t let him participate in the profit sharing.”

"Furthermore, some of the things he took are essential and will benefit your subsequent tomb raiding plans."

"So you don't need to push him too hard."

"Master Duan, don't you think so?"

Seeing that Lin Xiu didn't pursue the matter, Duan De immediately became more enthusiastic.

"Yes! That's right! What I took was what I was supposed to take! It's a fixed investment! It shouldn't be counted in the profit sharing!"

"Therefore, I demand a redistribution!"

"Huh? Master Duan, what did you say? I didn't quite hear you."

Lin Xiu snorted coldly, his deep gaze fixed on Duan De.

Duan De: "I said... I said the weather's pretty nice today, hahaha~"

Ye Fan: "........."

Ye Fan greatly admired Duan De; he hadn't expected that someone could be so shameless in such a short time.

Compared to Duan De, his skills are still too shallow, and his skin is still too thin.

.......

Next, Ye Fan selected some cultivation resources he needed and handed the remaining resources to Lin Xiu.

As for Duan De, he was devouring a pork knuckle, as if hoping to eat Lin Xiu out of house and home.

Lin Xiu couldn't bear to watch this scene of cannibalism, so he shook his head and began to prepare what he had gained.

Lin Xiu first activated the Blood Character Ancient Talisman to slowly absorb the Dao principles contained in the precious blood. Then, he carefully wrapped the faint fragment of true spirit in the saint's bone with the Soul Character Ancient Talisman, at least to prevent his condition from getting worse.

Today I have obtained the divine object from your tomb; in the future, I will repay you with a debt of karma.

If I illuminate all beings in the future, you may be reborn through this fragment of true spirit.

This powerful tomb was carefully selected by Lin Xiu.

There are very few tombs in the entire Beidou region with better overall conditions than this powerful tomb, and this powerful tomb is located near the Eastern Wilderness. Therefore, Lin Xiu chose this as Ye Fan and Duan De's first stop.

The difficulty is not high, the treasures are decent, and most importantly, this powerful being's tomb contains the sacred bones he obtained, as well as a fragment of true spirit within those bones.

The state of the True Spirit Fragment is even worse than a trace of True Spirit in the Great Accomplished Sacred Body, but it can still help the Soul Character Ancient Talisman advance.

For Lin Xiu, this kind of simple but persistent gain is necessary. He can't possibly use Emperor Blood and Great Emperor True Spirit to advance at every stage, can he?

In the process of developing the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Sacred Method", Lin Xiu has already gained a preliminary understanding of the wonders of the Primordial Ancient Characters. In his opinion, even if he can only obtain the precious blood and fragments of the True Spirit this time, it will still be worthwhile.

.......

Next, Lin Xiu gave the location of the next tomb, which was the tomb of a Great Accomplishment King.

Lin Xiu had calculated that Duan De, with his current level of expertise, was indeed qualified to rob a saint's tomb, but he couldn't be completely foolproof, which was why he carefully chose this king's tomb.

Duan De was somewhat dissatisfied; he had thought Lin Xiu would offer a saint's tomb.

The result... the King's Tomb?

They really look down on him, the Underworld Emperor!

However, given that Lin Xiu refused to provide the location of a higher-level tomb, Duan De had no choice but to give up.

After thinking it over, Duan De said that he was going to improve his tomb raiding skills and let Ye Fan act freely first, and that they would go down into the tomb together later. Then he left alone.

Only Lin Xiu and Ye Fan remained in the restaurant.

Ye Fan withdrew the middle finger he had given Duan De's back and smiled at Lin Xiu:

"Holy Lord, when shall we return to the Holy Land?"

Ye Fan expressed that he couldn't wait to see the grand spectacle of Tianxuan Holy Land!

From now on, he will be a top-tier prodigy with a sacred land as his backing!

"Holy Land? We still have things to do, so we don't need to go back for now."

Lin Xiu glanced at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan's strength has improved rapidly, and he has already advanced to the Other Shore Realm, but he is still far from the level of "being able to serve as an ox or horse".

Let Ye Fan level up again first, then he can return to Tianxuan Holy Land to serve as a slave.

......

"Something you need to do?"

Upon hearing that there was something to do, Ye Fan instantly became excited. In his eyes, working with Lin Xiu meant he would get benefits!

"Ahem, Holy Lord, can I join you? I'm very cost-effective!"

Lin Xiu immediately patted Ye Fan on the shoulder:

"Ye Zi, you're being too polite. We're dear friends and family, brothers, and we've sworn brotherhood before the Jade Emperor. How could I not invite you to something good?"

Putting everything else aside, the Bronze Immortal Palace is still waiting for Ye Fan to carry it out.

"Big brother!"

Ye Fan's eyes were filled with tears, feeling that his sworn brotherhood had not been in vain.

"Third brother!"

Lin Xiu hurriedly helped Ye Fan up, feeling that the sworn brotherhood had not been in vain.

His second brother is invincible! His third brother is also invincible!

With my second and third brothers assisting me, how can I not succeed in my great undertaking?!

.......

the other side.

The temporary encampment of the demon race is surrounded by spiritual energy, adorned with exotic flowers and rare herbs, and where celestial birds sing softly.

Outside the base, a graceful figure landed.

She was a woman of unparalleled beauty, with skin as white as snow, black hair like a waterfall, a graceful figure, and an exquisite beauty that seemed otherworldly. She was none other than Yan Ruyu, who had returned to the mortal world.

After Yan Ruyu landed, a large group of female demons surrounded her.

"Your Highness! You're back!"

"Your Highness, how is it? Have you found any trace of the Emperor?"

"Your Highness, the situation is not good lately. It seems that the Ji family's divine body intends to use you to establish its authority after emerging from seclusion. They are truly ungrateful!"

"Your Highness, should we relocate our camp to avoid the Divine Body's brunt? We believe you can defeat it, but we are worried that the Ji family might interfere in the duel."

"........."

Hearing the chattering around her, a hint of helplessness flashed in Yan Ruyu's cool eyes.

"No, I did not find any trace of my ancestors on this trip to the Emperor's Tomb."

Previously, Yan Ruyu had heard that someone had seen the figure of the Green Emperor at the Green Emperor's Tomb. Coupled with her special feeling during the battle at the Green Emperor's Tomb, Yan Ruyu judged that the ancestor of the emperor might still exist in the world!

Therefore, after the matter was over, Yan Ruyu went to the Qingdi Tomb several times, hoping to find any clues that the Emperor Ancestor was still alive.

However... she found nothing.

If I'm not mistaken, that is indeed the aura of the Emperor Ancestor.

What could have caused the Emperor Ancestor to seek out someone else instead of me after waking up?

Since all the cultivators present that day were teleported away by the Azure Emperor, and in the latter half of the test of Lin Xiu, the Azure Emperor sealed off the scene after taking action, no one knew exactly what happened. They only knew that a Saint Body was undergoing tribulation at the scene, seemingly breaking the restrictions of heaven and earth.

"A sacred body that has broken the limitations of heaven and earth, if used to nourish the Emperor's sacred heart..."

Yan Ruyu felt that she needed to find that sacred body.

"So, did you get any news about that sacred body while I was away?"

Before leaving, Yan Ruyu specially offered a reward for the whereabouts of the Holy Body.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yao shook her head repeatedly:

"No, there has been no news about the Holy Body in the Eastern Wilderness recently."

"However, I heard that a little over a month ago, a cultivator in the Holy City of the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness unleashed golden blood energy. Perhaps we can investigate in this direction."

Chapter 97 Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate the Holy Body's strength! (Fifth Update)

"The Northern Region, the Holy City..."

Yan Ruyu gazed northward, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

She hesitated whether she should go to the Holy City first, or seek the protection of a powerful demon king.
