Chapter 134: Meeting Han Li again, shameless

Zhou Chen also sensed it; powerful Qi was rapidly approaching from all directions.

“Go!”

The two exchanged glances and immediately fled deeper into the Burial of the Emperors Mausoleum.

Behind them, countless fierce souls pursued relentlessly, letting out roars.

“Han Xiong, how did you end up in a place like this?”

Han Li asked while running.

“I was being chased by Soul Devouring Ants, so I had no choice but to come in.”

Zhou Chen explained simply.

“Soul Devouring Ants? That’s truly unlucky.”

Han Li smiled bitterly, “I was also chased by a group of Blood Demons, which is why I fled here.”

“Blood Demons?”

Zhou Chen frowned. Blood Demons were also a unique existence in the Northern Region Demon Abyss, almost impossible to kill, and even more dangerous than Soul Devouring Ants.

“Yes, I got some good things outside, and then the Blood Demons targeted me,” Han Li said helplessly.

As the two were talking, an ancient palace suddenly appeared in front of them.

The palace was entirely black, exuding a mysterious aura.

“What is that place?”

Zhou Chen asked.

“I don’t know, but we have no choice now.”

Han Li gritted his teeth and rushed towards the palace.

The two rushed into the palace one after another, but the fierce souls behind them stopped at the palace entrance, seemingly extremely wary of this palace.

“Phew… We’re finally safe.”

Han Li breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Zhou Chen did not relax his vigilance, because he felt that an even greater danger seemed to be hidden within this palace.

The interior of the palace was extremely spacious, filled with exquisite carvings and murals.

Although countless years had passed, these artworks were still perfectly preserved, showing how powerful the people who built this palace must have been.

“This should be the mausoleum of a powerful being.”

Han Li cautiously observed his surroundings, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

As a Spirit Medicine enthusiast, he was most interested in such ancient ruins, because he could often find precious treasures within them.

Zhou Chen outwardly observed his surroundings, but in reality, he was secretly checking Han Li’s Opportunity panel.

“Name: Han Li.”

“Cultivation: Quasi-Saint Realm.”

“Fate: Deeply Hidden, Turns Misfortune into Blessing, Son of Destiny, Alchemy Grandmaster.”

“Destiny: Reincarnation of an ancient True Immortal Grandmaster. He harbors great terror. His early years were unremarkable. After obtaining his innate Opportunity, the Sky-Grasping Bottle, he soared into the sky, eventually surpassing the Emperor Realm and Ascending to the Immortal Realm.”

“Recent Opportunity 1: Deep within an ancient hall in the Burial of the Emperors Mausoleum, he will trigger a Teleportation Formation, which will transport him to a secret Medicine Garden, where he will obtain over a hundred ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine and over ten one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Medicine.”

“Recent Opportunity 2: In the secret Medicine Garden, he will obtain the key Spirit Medicine for Breakthrough to the Saint Realm—a ten-thousand-year Jade Dragon Scale Grass.”

“Recent Opportunity 3: …”

Seeing these Opportunities, a hint of fervor flashed in Zhou Chen’s eyes.

Over a hundred ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine, and over ten one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Medicine!

This was an enormous fortune, enough to drive any force into a frenzy.

Moreover, there might also be auxiliary medicinal ingredients for the Nine-Leaf True Lotus Bodhi Pill.

“Han Xiong, I feel like something in the depths of this palace is calling to me.”

Zhou Chen said, pretending to sense something.

“Oh? Zhou Xiong also has this feeling?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Han Li’s eyes: “I also feel it, as if some Opportunity is waiting for me.”

The two exchanged glances, both seeing the excitement in each other’s eyes.

“This place is very big, Han Xiong. Let’s explore separately. If there’s any danger, send a signal immediately, and we’ll quickly rendezvous.”

Zhou Chen suggested.

“Alright! But be careful, in places like this, Opportunity and danger often coexist.”

Han Li nodded, while also telling the little monkey on his shoulder to stay alert.

The two separated at a fork in the road. Zhou Chen pretended to carefully walk deeper into the palace, then quickly activated the Divine Concealment Art, changing direction and rushing towards the side hall mentioned in Han Li’s Opportunity panel.

Along the way, Zhou Chen encountered many traps and mechanisms, but he roughly defused them all. Zhou Chen wanted to steal the Opportunity before Han Li.

Han Li’s strength was indeed impressive, and he was experienced, having a knack for exploring such ancient ruins. He might catch up very soon.

After walking for about an incense stick’s time, Zhou Chen arrived at the deepest part of the palace.

There was a huge circular hall here, with complex Formation patterns carved on the ground.

“This is… a Teleportation Formation?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Chen’s eyes, and he thought to himself, ‘Sure enough.’ According to the Opportunity panel, Han Li was supposed to use this Teleportation Formation to reach the secret Medicine Garden.

Walking to the center of the Teleportation Formation, Zhou Chen took out a few Spirit Stones and placed them on the key nodes of the Formation.

Buzz!

The Teleportation Formation instantly lit up, and strong spatial fluctuations emanated.

The next moment, Zhou Chen’s figure disappeared from the hall.

When he reappeared, he was already in a completely different place.

This was a huge Medicine Garden, where various precious Spirit Medicine grew everywhere.

A rich medicinal fragrance wafted over, invigorating one’s spirit.

“Holy crap! So many Spirit Medicine!”

Even though the Opportunity panel had hinted at it, Zhou Chen was still so excited that his voice trembled.

If it were Han Li, an Alchemist, seeing so many precious Spirit Medicine, he would probably be even more excited than seeing a peerless beauty.

“This thousand-year Blood Ginseng is at least three thousand years old!”

Zhou Chen’s eyes gleamed.

“Hiss, and that ten-thousand-year Polygonum multiflorum, it’s simply priceless!”

Zhou Chen quickly began exploring the Medicine Garden, with new discoveries at every step.

The variety of Spirit Medicine here was vast, and their ages were extremely high. Any single one taken out could drive the Cultivators outside crazy.

“I’m rich! The value of these Spirit Medicine is enough to buy a low-tier Holy Land!”

Zhou Chen was extremely excited.

“There seems to be something else inside!”

Zhou Chen walked towards the depths of the Medicine Garden without hesitation.

Indeed, in the deepest part of the Medicine Garden, Zhou Chen discovered an even more precious medicinal field.

All the Spirit Medicine growing here were over ten thousand years old, and there were even a few one-hundred-thousand-year rare treasures.

Zhou Chen didn’t hesitate; he packed them all up!

“Ding! Detected that the Host has intercepted the Opportunity of the Son of Destiny, Han Li, and received a hundredfold return! Claim immediately?”

“Claim immediately!”

Ding!

“Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 16,323 ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine and 1,206 one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Medicine! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 15,368 other precious thousand-year Spirit Medicine!”

As the System’s prompt sounded, a large amount of Spirit Medicine instantly appeared in Zhou Chen’s System space.

And those precious Spirit Medicine in the medicinal field were also quietly taken away by him.

However, to avoid Han Li’s suspicion, Zhou Chen deliberately left some lower-grade Spirit Medicine.

Not long after, Zhou Chen appeared at the entrance of the main hall and found that Han Li had been waiting for a long time.

Earlier, Han Li had also been to the Teleportation Formation that Zhou Chen had used, but upon discovering that someone had entered, Han Li deduced it was Zhou Chen’s trace.

So Han Li decisively changed direction and went to explore Opportunities elsewhere, which made the little monkey on his shoulder jump up and down anxiously, but Han Li ignored it.

In Han Li’s view, Zhou Chen treated him like a brother; if he were to snatch Opportunities from him, how would he be different from a beast?

It was Zhou Chen who had judged a gentleman with a villain’s heart; after all, he had been a schemer for too long and couldn’t change his ways for a while.

If Zhou Chen had known the situation, he wouldn’t have wasted those few low-grade Spirit Medicine.

“Han Xiong, I’ve collected almost everything on my side.”

Zhou Chen said, pretending to be tired.
