Chapter 870: 870
Near the peak, there were fewer coffins, so there were also fewer people . Long Chen randomly picked a coffin . Feeling its powerful defenses, he knew this one hadnât been opened .
Long Chen personally experienced just how heavy the lid was as he pushed . However, it still wasnât enough for him to use the divine ring . It popped open slightly .
As it slowly opened, the light within it erupted . Immortal spiritual qi came from within . He knew this spiritual qi had been purified by the coffinâs formation to nourish the weapon . This spiritual qi had been accumulating for countless years now .
But before Long Chen could really feel this special spiritual qi, it disappeared as if it had been devoured .
âGood stuff . This is something I need,â said the Eastern Wasteland Bell with a pleasantly surprised tone .
âSenior, how about we work together?â Long Chenâs eyes suddenly brightened .
âLittle fellow, what evil idea are you thinking of now? Let me warn you, I owe you a single favor, so I can only help you once . That way, the karma between us will be resolved . Donât get any crazy ideas involving me . I refuse to be affected by karma,â warned the Eastern Wasteland Bell .
Long Chen laughed mischievously, having already expected this response . Although he didnât know what exactly this so-called karma was or why the Eastern Wasteland Bell was so worried about it, he had his own plans .
âSenior, just think about it . I can open the coffins, and because of my work, youâre absorbing such pure spiritual qi to nourish yourself . You keep saying youâre afraid of karma, but itâs because of my work that youâre getting benefits . That isnât in accordance with the Heavenly Daos . Reaping without sowing isnât acceptable, so youâll still be affected by karma like that . Thatâs not karma Iâm trying to give you, but karma youâre infecting yourself with,â said Long Chen .
âNow that you put it like this, that really does make sense,â said the Eastern Wasteland Bell .
âSo I think itâs better if we work together to get what we both want based on the principles of equality . Then neither of us will be affected by karma,â said Long Chen .
The Eastern Wasteland Bell was silent for a while . It obviously wasnât so easily fooled . But in the end, it wasnât able to find anything wrong with Long Chenâs words . It would only make sense if it helped to get what it needed . That would be the only way to not invoke karma .
âAlright, you open the coffins, and Iâll take out whatâs inside . But pay attention to safety . Iâm only in charge of taking away whatâs inside, and in order to not let the Heavenly Daos sense me, I wonât help you out if any difficulties arise because of this . Unless youâre on the verge of death, I wonât do anything,â warned the Eastern Wasteland Bell . Even though it had agreed to cooperate, it was still cautious .
âGood, then I definitely wonât disappoint you . â Long Chen was delighted and he hastily continued pushing that stone coffin .
Once the opening was half-a-foot wide, an imperceptible fluctuation stretched into the coffin and then disappeared . Even Long Chen didnât get a chance to see what had been inside .
Suddenly, a spear appeared in Long Chenâs spiritual space . It was pitch-black and emitted a powerful pressure that would make people's hearts shiver .
âThis is a Treasure item . Through the formation, itâs been nourished for countless years, increasing its power by a great deal . It can count as a high grade Treasure item,â said the Eastern Wasteland Bell .
Long Chen was delighted to obtain a Treasure item this quickly . He directly went to four other coffins . But they were all empty, and no spiritual qi was emitted from inside .
On his fifth try, he encountered a coffin that hadnât been opened yet . When he slowly opened it, he saw a rabbit inside .
âTop grade pill?â Long Chen was startled . This pill was a foot tall and looked just like a rabbit . But as an alchemist, he smelled the specific scent of a medicinal pill .
Most medicinal pills circulating throughout this world were split into low, middle, and high grade . For high grade pills, each extra pill ring greatly increased the medicinal effect .
But above high grade pills were top grade pills . The easiest way to distinguish a top grade pill was that they could transform . Top grade pills had their own special spirituality . Once they formed, they would draw pill lightning tribulation, just like a human cultivatorâs tribulation . Pills that went through such tribulation would have even greater spirituality .
Different pills refined by different people would all transform into different shapes . Some would transform into creatures, some would transform into plants .
Long Chen had only just gotten a glance at the rabbit when it disappeared . When it reappeared, it was in his spiritual space .
That rabbit had already become a jade-like pill . There was an image of a small rabbit moving on top of it, looking as if it were alive .
âAmazing, a top grade Dragon Tiger Heavenly Explosion Pill!â Long Chen was startled . This was a kind of self-destructive medicinal pill . Once a Sea Expansion expert consumed it, if they didnât immediately explode, they would be able to release over ten times the power .
The main ingredients of this pill were the Evil Dragonâs blood and the Berserk White Lines Tigerâs Neidan . They both contained extremely berserk energy, and even an innate rank three Celestial would immediately explode if they tried consuming it in the Sea Expansion realm . There was no way they could bear that powerful medicinal energy .
Furthermore, after so many years of nourishing, this pillâs energy had almost reached perfection . Its power was even more terrifying than a normal one .
Long Chen hastily found a jade case to store it in . An Evil Dragon was something he had heard of, but it had long since gone extinct in this world . This pill was perhaps one of the last of its kind, and it was extremely valuable .
Once he put away the pill, Long Chen decided to directly spread his divine sense to all the coffins around him .
âFool, do you not want your life?! The coffins have formation runes that will injure you if you try to probe them with Spiritual Strength,â scolded the Eastern Wasteland Bell .
Originally, it had felt that Long Chen was a mature and steady person . But as soon as he obtained two treasures, he became perturbed .
âHehe, donât worry senior, Iâm not so foolish . I donât need to extend my divine sense into the coffins . Just from the outside, I can tell if the coffins have been opened before or not,â laughed Long Chen . How could he be so stupid as to stretch his divine sense into such terrifying coffins? His divine sense didnât go into them . Instead, he was circulating the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art to sense danger .
The empty coffins did not have any defenses, so he naturally wouldnât sense any danger from them . But those coffins from which he could sense some slight danger were very likely ones that had never been opened .
The facts proved that the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art would never disappoint him . He opened three coffins in a row, and none of them had been opened before . Long Chen obtained a ring, a soft armor, and a sword from them .
The ring was a storage tool, but it wasnât a spatial storage tool . It stored energy, and once activated, it could release a shocking and instantaneous attack .
He obtained five treasures in a row, causing him to feel like flowers were blooming in his heart . This was his first time feeling like his luck wasnât so bad . He even felt like his luck really had taken a turn for the better .
The other experts were also doing their best to open coffins . What these people didnât know was that originally, one person could only open one coffin . Once the treasure was taken out, the coffinâs runes would transform into a transportation formation and send them away .
But Long Chen and the others hadnât entered through proper channels . It was only by chance that they had destroyed the core formation that had controlled everything . All those transportation formations had lost effect now, allowing them to crazily search for treasures .
Rather than saying Long Chenâs luck was good, he should have given Yu Changhao the credit . It was he who had managed to open this treasure house for everyone through sheer chance .
âLong Chen, we should act low-key . Weâre going too fast and drawing too much attention . Be careful of other peopleâs greed,â warned the Eastern Wasteland Bell .
For others, fully opening the coffin took two incense sticksâ worth of time . Only then would it not immediately close . Once the treasures were taken, the coffins would slowly close . Right now, people had only just finished taking their first treasure, but Long Chen was on his seventh .
Although Long Chen was only opening the coffins slightly, while the Eastern Wasteland Bell took the treasures and absorbed the spiritual qi, others were unable to see that . Thus, quite a few people found this strange .
Each time, Long Chen would spend over ten breaths pushing open the coffin by just a crack . Then he would run to the next . That action was too strange .
âItâs fine . Donât you see me shaking my head every time? Thatâs to mislead them into thinking that whatever inside was garbage and didnât satisfy me, so Iâm not wasting time . Letâs continue . Time is treasure, and we canât waste any . â
Long Chen continued working . After going through another two coffins, Yue Xiaoqian arrived next to him .
âXiaoqian, how was it? Did you get anything? Or did that crazy woman trick you?â asked Long Chen .
Yue Xiaoqian was full of delight . âShe didnât trick me . This is extremely important to my entire race . Iâm extremely grateful to her-â
âNo, donât be grateful . Next time, sheâll probably want to cut off our heads . Quick, help me out . Let me tell you what to doâŠâ
Long Chen wanted her to open the coffins he pointed out, while he opened his own . In front of her startled eyes, the treasure inside the coffin disappeared . She didnât even know what to say .
With Yue Xiaoqian helping, their efficiency doubled . In less than two hours, they had obtained over a hundred treasures .
Just as Long Chen was working rapidly, a terrifying and evil aura erupted .
