    • Chapter 161: A Test Beyond Truth and Lies — Inheritance or Livestock Farming?

      Chapter 161: A Test Beyond Truth and Lies — Inheritance or Livestock Farming? Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks At this very moment, personal grudges, the desire for secret manuals, the craving for elixirs, and longing for opportunities— All became meaningless. If they couldn't get out of here, they would die. What use were treasures then? "OPEN FOR THIS POOR DAOIST!!" Tong Xue could no longer hold back. He roared and launched another spell at full force. But when the spell landed on the stone door—it was as effective as a tickle. Despair flashed in his eyes. "What now!?" The rest were also visibly…

      Chapter 159: Failed Alchemy Matters Not, the Passage Opens by Success Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Everyone's gaze focused sharply in that instant. This time, if Jiang Xiaolong failed to refine the pill, it would determine how much further they could proceed into this tomb! Failure would mean retreat, resealing the passage, and returning another time. Success, however, would mean continuing the exploration—perhaps even inheriting the legacy of the tomb's master! The flames roared, and the temperature rose steadily. Jiang Xiaolong's expression was calm. With a flick of his finger, the first herb…

      Chapter 157: Unable to Hold Back—Everyone Joins In to Harvest Ghosts Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks This time, when the attack landed, the seal on the stone pillar twisted even more violently. In just two shrieks, two fierce ghost shadows snarled as they began forcing their way out! Yu Xian's expression didn't change, but four green vines cracked like whips through the air. Just like before, they yanked the ghosts out mid-emergence, compressed them into black spheres, and sent them into his sleeve. "This…" Now the six others could no longer sit still. How could one person keep taking them like…

      Chapter 158 – The Entrance Is Found, Alchemy as the Key Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks A mausoleum structured like this palace-like tomb couldn't possibly have only one main hall. After all, they hadn't even seen the tomb owner's corpse yet. A mighty cultivator like that—even if they died of old age—would have a body that remained uncorrupted for a thousand years. It would never vanish without a trace. Yet this grand hall appeared empty, aside from the entrance. If there had been another exit, the fierce ghosts wouldn't have been trapped inside, making it so easy for them to be…
    • Chapter 156: Fierce Ghosts Are Fortunes—Seizing Them One by One

      Chapter 156: Fierce Ghosts Are Fortunes—Seizing Them One by One Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks "The seal… is it breaking!?" "What do we do?" "Only this one pillar is acting up… Maybe it's unrelated to the cauldron." "Don't panic. Let's observe." The six others looked unsettled, but after some quick discussion, they managed to calm their nerves. After all, only one of the thirteen pillars showed signs of abnormality. There was no need to flee in panic just yet. Yu Xian, however, frowned slightly. The twisting seal on the stone pillar gave him an increasingly ominous feeling. Whatever was…
    • Chapter 154 – No Other Thoughts Until Tomorrow, Expedition to the Wilderness Tomb Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Yu Xian froze for a moment, slightly confused as he glanced at Jiang Xiaolong. Why does he keep asking people to toast? Is it really necessary? As for Luo Yingmei, her pretty face turned crimson, and she couldn't help but shoot her master a reproachful glare. Jiang Xiaolong looked utterly nonchalant. At that moment, he caught his disciple's glance and shot back a look that clearly meant: "Aren't you going to seize the chance?" After being Jiang Xiaolong's disciple for ten years, Luo Yingmei knew his…
    • Chapter 155: Millennium Ice to Stir the Appetite, the Jade Cauldron Follows Behind Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Everyone, including Yu Xian, immediately noticed the thick layer of black ice, nearly a zhang deep. Tong Xue's eyes lit up, bursting with joy: "This is—this is Millennium Cold Ice! And not the ordinary kind that's been frozen for a thousand years—this is Yin Cold Ice! It qualifies as a fourth-grade material, excellent for refining tools, concocting pills, or nurturing cold- and Yin-loving spiritual entities!" Hearing his words, even those unfamiliar with the substance, like Yu Xian, instantly…
    • Chapter 152: First Attempt Succeeds – Joint Alchemy Begins

      Chapter 152: First Attempt Succeeds – Joint Alchemy Begins Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Jiang Xiaolong was already seated cross-legged before his own alchemy furnace, smiling as he said, "Junior Brother Yu, shall we begin?" Yu Xian shook his head slightly. "No rush, Senior Brother. Let me study the pill recipe a bit more. That way, my success rate will be higher. Otherwise, rushing into the refinement may just waste your spirit herbs." Jiang Xiaolong's eyes lit up with appreciation, laughing. "Good, good. Take your time. You're just like Senior Brother Xiao—he used to spend at least three…
    • Chapter 153: Cheers in Celebration — The Tavern Master’s Hidden Intentions

      Chapter 153: Cheers in Celebration — The Tavern Master’s Hidden Intentions Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Seeing the pill successfully enter the furnace, Yu Xian's expression finally relaxed a little. He had believed in his timing, but if it had failed, it still would have been a major regret. After all, even if Jiang Xiaolong's calculation had been off, he would have shared the blame. It was he who had pushed the timing to the extreme, trying to reach perfection—and that in itself could've backfired. But now that the Huangchen Pill had entered the furnace safely, the next part was entirely up to Jiang…

      Chapter 151: Request for Alchemy, Joint Preparation in the Pill Room Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks The sudden voice made Yu Xian raise his brow and turn to look. He saw a middle-aged man descending the stairs from the second floor. Many nearby cultivators, upon seeing the man, immediately stood straight and respectfully saluted, loudly saying, "Greetings, Pavilion Master!" The man casually waved his hand. "Carry on with your work." Only then did the others return to their dealings, resuming transactions with customers. Although Yu Xian had never seen this man before, judging by the respectful…
