'Ding … congratulations on killing greater celestial middle level evil spirit king.'
'Ding … experience points + 600,000,000'
'Ding … congratulations on leveling up.'
'Ding … congratulations on crafting success.'
'Ding … congratulations on discovering evil spirit crystal.'
...
"HA …!" Listening to the notifications from the system, Lin Fan's heart leaped with joy as he burst out laughing. Initially, Lin Fan had thought that he wouldn't get anything out of the smelting process. In fact, the kill might not even be his. But who would have thought that not only would he gain a huge amount of experience points, he would even be able to craft a weapon successfully?
I've made a profit, I've really made a profit.
Seems like I, Young Master, am a man blessed with great luck indeed. Everything I do is right!
Lin Fan wasn't that angry at the evil spirit king for trying to take over his body anymore. This death was worth it!
Even though the expedition to Tuodi Shrine was filled with dangers, the rewards were bountiful. Not only did it allow Lin Fan to understand the wonders of the Heaven and Earth Smelt, it also helped him raise his cultivation base.
Pericelestial lower level.
Even though his cultivation base wasn't that high right now, his fighting prowess was comparable to a lesser celestial.
'Evil Spirit Crystal: Formed from the source of the evil spirit king. Used to communicate with the Nine Spirits Realm.'
Lin Fan played around with the fist-sized, purple crystal that looked like a diamond. He was puzzled. How should he use this thing?
Then, Lin Fan didn't think too much about it and placed it in his bag.
Even though he had killed the big boss, this Tuodi Shrine was still filled with many weird things.
Looking around, the Tuodi Shrine was not too big in size. But to Lin Fan, this was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
The Tuodi Shrine had existed for a long time now. He was definitely not the only one who came here to investigate. But why hadn't anyone before come across these evil spirits sealed within the altar?
This was really weird.
Looking at the altar on the statue's finger, Lin Fan walked up to check if these treasures were still useful.
'Ding … congratulations on discovering Sealed Altar (Damaged).'
Lin Fan toyed around with the Sealed Ancient Altar in his hands. It didn't seem to be of much use at all. It looked extremely ordinary, and was even damaged. However, even though these things were damaged, they were still treasures in the past.
Lin Fan didn't hesitate and put it in his backpack. Maybe it would be useful in the future.
Lin Fan searched around the Tuodi Shrine. He looked at the back of the statues to see if there were any secret manuals. He smashed another statue to see if there were any treasures inside.
Lin Fan had been poisoned by novels in the past. These were the easiest places to store things. Naturally, he wouldn't let go of them. If there were really treasures, wouldn't he have made a windfall?
After failing to find anything in the Tuodi Shrine, Lin Fan turned around and left.
This mysterious Tuodi Divine Temple might not be as simple as it seemed. However, based on the current situation, perhaps it wasn't time yet. He would return after a period of time to see if there were any changes to this Tuodi Divine Temple.
Outside, Sha Dulong had been waiting patiently. The Lord had been in there for an entire day and night. But he still hadn't come out. This had them worried.
"Big Bro, do you think something might have happened inside?" Sha Miexiong sat on the ground, fiddling with the bonfire. This Tuodi Shrine was eerie and gloomy. In the middle of the night, hair-raising noises could be heard from time to time.
If not for the fact that Big Bro had asked them to stay here, they would have left long ago.
They knew that they might have benefited from following the Lord. But now that so much time had passed, they didn't even know if the Lord was dead or alive. Were they supposed to wait here for the rest of their lives?
Sha Dulong did not reply. He frowned and sighed, "Let's wait for two more days. If the Lord isn't out by then, we'll head back."
Sha Dulong stood at the entrance and looked in. However, it was pitch black inside. He couldn't even see his fingers if he stretched his hands out.
Especially when he was standing there, he could feel the sinister wind that carried with it the stench of decay.
Just then, a sound came from afar.
The fourteen Sand Bandits' faces changed, and Sha Dulong even pulled out the curved blade by his waist, his expression dark as he stared ahead. But when he saw the figure clearly, Sha Dulong heaved a sigh of relief and rushed forward. "Sir, you're out."
"Yes." Lin Fan nodded his head. But when he saw the bonfire, he was puzzled, "How long have I been in there?"
"One day and one night."
The moment Lin Fan heard this, he was speechless. To think that such a long time had passed, and he didn't feel anything at all in there!
"Alright, let's move out." Lin Fan did not want to say anything more about this Tuodi Shrine. Even though he had killed the evil spirit, he still felt that there was something strange about this place.
"Pack up, let's move out." Sha Dulong did not ask any further. He called out to his brothers and got them to pack up.
As Lin Fan's horse carriage left into the distance …
Tuodi Shrine was once again immersed in a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. The entire place was gloomy and silent. Occasionally, a creepy sound could be heard.
Night fell. The moonlight seemed as though it was trying to penetrate through the Ancient Book of Ether and shine on Tuodi Shrine. But it was blocked by the dense foliage, causing the entire place to be dark.
Just then, a beam of light pierced through the night sky.
A crow that was emitting an aura of death flapped its wings and flew over from afar. Those bloodshot eyes of the crow seemed to be able to pierce through one's soul.
The crow spread its wings and flew into the pitch black entrance of Tuodi Shrine. It kept moving forward until it arrived at the main hall within.
The crow stopped in front of the gigantic statue in the middle of the hall. Those bloodshot eyes of the crow shone with a bright red light. All of a sudden, the black feathers on its body were dyed red with fresh blood. Like a fountain, the blood gushed out.
The crow cawed fiercely. Eventually, it turned into a dried up corpse and disappeared into thin air.
The blood seemed to have a life of its own as it flowed continuously along the body of the statue. Eventually, it fell to the ground and sank deep into the ground.
A black stone coffin lay quietly under the ground of Tuodi Shrine. Thick chains wrapped around the stone coffin. Sitting cross-legged on top of the stone coffin was a golden skeleton. The skeleton exuded an ancient aura. Clearly, it was a powerful person in the past.
The surrounding walls were engraved with dense runes.
At this moment, traces of blood-red mist slowly seeped out from the stone coffin. But at this moment, the countless runes on the walls suddenly shone with a dazzling light. The moment the blood-red mist came into contact with the dazzling light, it instantly shrank back into the stone coffin.
Drops of scarlet blood dripped down from above and landed on the golden skeleton.
Every time a drop of blood fell, the golden skeleton would dim a little.
Then, one of the mysterious runes on the wall would be annihilated and dim.
