These herbs had gone extinct, so even if there was a pill recipe and a corresponding Alchemist, they could not refine these pills.
For example, the Qi gathering pill was one of them, but through Zhang Lijuâs hands, he replaced a few of the extinct ingredients in the Qi gathering pill with some of the existing ingredients. Although the effect was reduced, it still achieved some of the Qi gathering pillâs effects-this was the magical part of Zhang Liju!
That year, Zhang Liju had gathered a large number of Masters around him, and because of that, he had an endless supply of resources.
However, changing the recipe wasnât a difficult thing for Lin Yi. He could easily do it with his abilities, but he couldnât do it when it came to refining elixirs. Lin Yiâs physique had determined that he couldnât refine elixirs.
After Lin Yi finished reading Zhang Lijuâs life story, boss Bai finished as well,ââYi, letâs go?â
âAlright!â Lin Yi replied and called Yu Xiaoke,âXiaoke, letâs go.â
However, when Lin Yi turned to look at Yu Xiaoke, he was shocked to find that Yu Xiaoke was gone!
Yes, Yu Xiaoke disappeared!
Only Lin Yi, boss Bai, and Skybolt pig were left in the empty tomb. Lin Yi didnât need the light to feel everything in the tomb with his eyes closed. Yu Xiaoke was nowhere to be found!
âYu Xiaoke!â Lin Yi exclaimed, subconsciously turning his head to look at the entrance of the main tomb. The stone door was still closed, not open!
Lin Yi felt a chill up his spine. Where did Yu Xiaoke go? Could it be that this tomb was haunted? How did Yu Xiaoke disappear into thin air?
âYi, this is âŠâ Boss Baiâs scalp went numb.
âWhoâs behind this?â Lin Yiâs sharp eyes scanned every corner of the main burial chamber, but he still couldnât find anything out of place. There was nothing in the main burial chamber other than a huge coffin. If someone was hiding here to cause trouble, Lin Yi couldnât imagine where they would be hiding.
But if no one was behind this, then where did Yu Xiaoke go?
Could it be that the Tomb Raider who touched the book of anecdotes and took the Shennong cauldron didnât leave, but was hiding in the tomb, waiting for an opportunity to attack Lin Yi and the others?
Cold sweat started dripping down Lin Yiâs back as he thought of the possibility. There were only two possibilities-one, the Tomb Raider wasnât human at all, and that was the only way for Xiaoke to disappear. The other possibility was that this person was extremely strong, perhaps Sky Class late phase peak. Only a master like that could do something like this under Lin Yiâs nose.
But, even Sky Class late phase peak would have Qi fluctuations when they moved-was he a physical practitioner?
The key thing was that Lin Yi didnât understand how Yu Xiaoke disappeared in this sealed tomb even if a Sky Class master appeared. She and the sky Class master had to have a place to hide, right?
Lin Yiâs eyes scanned the room and finally stopped on Zhang Lijuâs coffin.
âMaster Zhang Liju, please forgive my rudeness âŠâ Lin Yi mumbled to himself as he walked towards the coffin. This was the only place in the entire tomb that could hide someone!
Otherwise, the tomb was a sealed stone chamber. There was no way anyone could hide on the wall, ceiling, or ground. Only the coffin was suspicious.
âYi, youâre saying that Yu Xiaoke ran into the coffin?â Boss Bai asked with a weird expression as he understood what Lin Yi was thinking.
âI donât know either, but this is the only place I can think of. In the entire tomb, where else can a person hide?â Lin Yi wasnât sure, but he could guess.
âYouâre right, saving lives is more important!â Boss Bai nodded at Lin Yi, indicating that it wasnât disrespectful. After all, the dead werenât as important as the living, and even the old masterâs spirit in heaven wouldnât disagree.
Lin Yi nodded and walked in front of the coffin, ready to open it.
âGet up!â Lin Yi was about to lift the lid up, but to his surprise, the lid didnât move at all!
Lin Yi didnât use his practitionerâs Arts, but it was just a coffin lid-how heavy could it be? Lin Yi didnât use his pure Qi at all, but he miscalculated this time-the lid didnât even show any signs of lifting up!
âLift the lid!â Lin Yi activated his practitionerâs Arts this time, but the lid still didnât move!
Lin Yi was surprised and increased his strength, but the lid still didnât open!
Somethingâs wrong! Lin Yi stopped using force and started to observe carefully. He wanted to see what was so special about the lid, and why it wasnât opening despite using so much force.
However, after Lin Yiâs careful observation, he was shocked to find that the lid of the coffin was dead! It simply couldnât be opened!
In other words, the lid of the coffin was one with the coffin. It was just that it was carved into the shape of a lid. Although there was a small gap between the coffin and the lid, if one looked carefully, they would find that the gap was carved. The coffin and the lid were clearly one. It would be strange if they could open it!
âThis coffins ⊠Are dead? It canât be opened?â Boss Bai also noticed the strangeness.
âYes, it canât be opened. Itâs fake.â Lin Yi nodded, then carefully knocked on the coffin a couple more times, his face full of shock.âThis coffin ⊠Is solid. Itâs just a big rock. Thereâs ⊠No bones inside!â
âWhat?â Boss Baiâs eyes widened. He didnât know what to say in this sudden change! The two of them had been paying their respects in front of a solid stone coffin without any bones for a long time. What was this? âThen ⊠Zhang Lijuâs bones âŠâ
âI donât know, but there are only a few possibilities. Either this coffin was changed and the real coffin was taken away, or this isnât the real tomb of Zhang Lijuâs grandfather, but a fake tomb used to confuse people âŠâ Lin Yi said.
âA fake tomb ⊠There are so many good things inside?â Boss Bai asked, not understanding what was going on.
âWithout so many good things, how can we believe that this is a real tomb? How can you pass off the fake as the real one?â Lin Yi asked.
âThatâs true, but if thatâs the case, then any random corpse would be better than a solid stone coffin!â Boss Bai was still a little confused. (To be continued.)
