Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 849 - 823: Resentful Spirit Bead

Qian Shanxue, Xie Lei, and Li Shang swiftly flew over, taking action together. All three were at the Eighth Layer of the Earthly Realm, and their combined strength was equivalent to someone at the Ninth Layer. With their help, the situation quickly turned around, and they subdued the dried corpse by force. Then, Chen Xi decapitated it with one sword strike.

The Yinshan King delivered a few more blows, thoroughly smashing the corpse into powder. It was dead beyond any doubt.

With the corpse dealt with, everyone proceeded towards the stone chamber on the ground.

"Let’s be careful," Qian Shanxue advised as he followed the other three inside.

Passing through the stone bridge, they entered an even larger stone chamber, much bigger than the one outside. The walls were lined with numerous colorful, shimmering rocks, creating a dazzling, mystical aura that enveloped the entire chamber.

It felt like a dreamlike fairyland.

"Seven-colored Spirit Stones, there’s so many of them!" Tangyu exclaimed in astonishment as he gazed at the walls, feeling like he had uncovered a monumental treasure.

Seven-colored Spirit Stones were extremely precious and could be used to forge Spiritual Artifacts, made into jade beds for cultivation, and gather Spiritual Immortal Power. If a secret chamber were built using these stones for cultivation, the results would be outstanding.

Seven-colored Spirit Stones naturally possessed spirituality and had numerous wonderful uses.

Tangyu’s master had given detailed descriptions of such treasures in the "Myriad Immortals Pill Refining Chapter," and these stones were also essential for crafting certain pills.

Everyone was quite astonished, recognizing the Seven-colored Spirit Stones, but no one moved to take them. Their attention was focused ahead, where a grand hall seemingly constructed as a treasure temple came into view. The ground was littered with white skeletal remains. Judging by their postures, these people had died while kneeling. There were one or two hundred of them.

Those resentful spirits were likely formed from the souls of these deceased individuals.

Further ahead was a high platform with eight jade dragon carvings, entirely made from a single piece of Seven-colored Spirit Stone. Atop the platform was a spirit coffin also crafted from these stones. Behind it was a jade wall carved with a majestic king, likely the image of King Liang.

The spirit coffin probably held King Liang himself. Such a lavish burial arrangement was truly impressive.

Tangyu’s gaze fell on an empty area nearby, piled high with golden treasures and various ornaments and jade artifacts, forming a small hill. These were clearly burial accompaniments.

Seeing this, Tangyu’s eyes sparkled with delight. He joyfully ran over and began stuffing the items into his Qiankun Bag without hesitation.

"Haha, I’m getting rich! If no one else wants them, I’ll gladly take them," Tangyu thought gleefully. Though he wasn’t particularly interested in wealth, the sight of the glistening treasures was irresistible. The jewelry and ornaments would make great gifts for Lin Feifei and the others; it would be a shame not to take them.

The others watched Tangyu without interference, and naturally, no one fought him for the treasures. Consequently, Tangyu swept everything into his bag, amassing a fortune worth at least several billions.

Of course, to high-level Earthly Realm cultivators, money was just a number and far less important than Spirit Stones.

"You’re such a miser, why are you so excited?" Xiaoxue said softly upon seeing Tangyu’s happy return.

Tangyu shrugged, "I’m just ensuring nothing goes to waste. These things have been left here for who knows how long. It’s such a waste, right? By taking them out, they’ll see the light of day again instead of rotting away here. I’m merely responding to the call of Huaxia Country."

"..." Xiaoxue was now convinced of Tangyu’s prowess. "I saw a beautiful jade hairpin in there. How about you give it to me as a gift?"

"A jade hairpin? If you like something, just take it. No need to talk about gifts. Come, feel free to choose anything you like. Yahan, too, pick anything you fancy. These things aren’t that valuable to us, just some trinkets." Tangyu said generously.

Xiaoxue shook her head, "No, I want you to give it to me. I won’t take it myself."

"Uh, there are plenty of hairpins in there. How would I know which one you like? You should pick it yourself," Tangyu replied, sensing something was off.

Xiaoxue insisted, "No, I want you to choose and give it to me. I trust your taste. Whatever you pick, I’ll definitely like it."

Tangyu was taken aback, glancing at Xiaoxue. Seeing her blush and lower her head, he immediately understood what was happening. Tangyu was at a loss for words. Could it be? Just because he had played the hero saving the beauty earlier?

Thinking it over, Tangyu felt relieved. Given how exceptional he was, if he were a woman, he would undoubtedly fall for such a great man himself.

It seemed Xiaoxue had developed some feelings for him.

Yahan and Qian Shanxue also looked at Xiaoxue. Though lacking romantic experience, women understood women best, and knowing Xiaoxue well, they quickly grasped the situation.

Seeing Xiaoxue’s demeanor, Tangyu felt a bit troubled. To give the gift would imply accepting her feelings, but not giving it would be too embarrassing.

After careful consideration, Tangyu felt obliged to choose randomly and handed a Jade Badge to Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue accepted it with joy, examining it carefully. As she looked, her face turned even redder.

"What’s going on?" Tangyu was puzzled.

Yahan teased with a smile, "Oh Tangyu, you really know how to pick. This is a pair of Mandarin Duck badges."

"Mandarin Duck badges—" Tangyu felt as if he had been struck hard.

He truly grabbed it randomly and ended up with a pair of Mandarin Duck badges! How could he possibly clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River?

Alas, his purity was once again compromised.

At this moment, the voice of the Yinshan King broke the awkwardness: "Chen Xi, King Liang is buried in this Jade Coffin. There’s no danger now. The treasures on King Liang’s body—let’s use our strength to seize them. This place is small enough for just the two of us to operate. I think everyone else should refrain from acting for now. To avoid any unpleasantness, this treasure hunt shouldn’t turn into open warfare."

Chen Xi replied, "Alright, I agree. As long as you don’t go for the kill, I won’t harm your people either."

"Fine, let’s go. Let’s open the Jade Coffin first," said Yinshan King, with a sinister smile.

Chen Xi nodded, and Qian Shanxue warned, "Senior Sister, be careful. This Yinshan King seems deceitful."

Chen Xi nodded and walked towards the Jade Coffin. Both she and Yinshan King stood at either end of the coffin, which was nearly ten meters long and three meters wide.

They exchanged glances, nodded simultaneously, and then both let out a low shout as they grasped the coffin lid with their hands, attempting to lift it open.

This seven-colored Spirit Stone had an incredibly high density, far heavier than the heaviest metal. Such a massive coffin lid weighed well over a hundred tons.

Even though Yinshan King and Chen Xi were exerting their full strength, they still felt a bit strained. However, they managed to slowly lift the coffin lid and move it aside.

As the lid opened, a beam of eerie light shot out from the coffin, causing everyone to become wary. Chen Xi and Yinshan King’s faces grew serious as they nodded to each other. Then, with a powerful push, the coffin lid flew off, completely revealing the contents of the Jade Coffin.

Upon seeing the inside of the coffin, both of them frowned deeply, retreating two steps in caution, staring intently at the coffin.

Inside the coffin sat a lifelike, majestic man in a cross-legged position. The eerie light had emanated from his body. Clad in kingly attire, he appeared to be in his fifties, with a face that was extremely stern and sinister. His lips were entirely purple, and there was a purple droplet-patterned mark on his forehead, giving him an extremely eerie appearance.

"It’s King Liang," Chen Xi quickly deduced.

The person seated in the coffin was indeed King Liang.

This discovery shocked everyone present.

"King Liang lived a thousand years ago. How could his body remain uncorrupted? He doesn’t even look dead, more like he’s in a state of deep cultivation. How could this be?" Qian Shanxue questioned in bewilderment.

Xie Lei also seemed perplexed. "Even if the seven-colored Spirit Stone can preserve the body, it’s impossible for it to remain completely intact after a thousand years. The others here have all turned to white bones."

Tangyu stared intently at King Liang in the coffin, feeling an inexplicable unease and a premonition of something bad about to happen.

Both Chen Xi and Yinshan King cautiously observed, their eyes soon drawn to King Liang’s hands, where he held a purple Crystal Bead about the size of an adult’s fist, emitting an eerie glow.

"It’s the Resentful Spirit Bead," they recognized simultaneously, noting it was tightly gripped in King Liang’s hands.

Without further ado, Chen Xi and Yinshan King moved to snatch the Resentful Spirit Bead from King Liang’s hands, immediately engaging in a swift confrontation.

The rest could only watch, unable to intervene at this moment.

Tangyu glanced around, frowning, uncertain why the feeling of uneasiness within him was growing stronger.

Tangyu said, "Senior Sister Xue, doesn’t this place look more like King Liang’s tomb rather than the Holy Land ruins?"
