WDQK—Chapter 76: Extreme Evil Yin Dragon Saliva, Sea of Fire Array!
"If you want to find elixirs, then go to the left; there seem to be elixir fluctuations over there!"
After the two people and two beasts traveled deeper into the tomb, Little Marten suddenly pointed to a path and said this to Lin Tian and the others.
Lin Tian and Lin Dong exchanged glances and immediately rushed in the direction indicated by Little Marten.
After walking for a while, they felt as if they were spinning in place.
"There seems to be a formation here," Lin Tian remarked to Lin Dong, his eyes flashing with insight.
Little Marten noticed the clue at that moment and said to Lin Tian, "I didn't expect you to detect that this is a formation!"
Lin Tian smiled but didn't elaborate.
Little Marten, feeling helpless, muttered, "I hate this annoying formation the most."
Lin Dong scratched his head and said, distressed, "What should we do?"
"Let me investigate. Although I'm not great with formations, this wooden pole formation should be manageable." Little Marten waved his paw, then closed his eyes, sending out a subtle wave.
Seeing this, Lin Tian's expression remained calm; he wasn't surprised at all.
"Go forward three hundred steps."
After a while, Little Marten opened his eyes again and pointed his paw forward.
"Let's go," Lin Tian said, moving forward with Lin Dong and the two fire pythons without hesitation.
Under Little Marten's guidance, they soon walked out of the wooden pole formation.
Before them lay a spacious training ground.
On the training ground, hundreds of symbol puppets were neatly arranged!
Lin Dong was surprised to see these symbol puppets.
Lin Tian remarked calmly, "These are all low-grade symbol puppets, comparable to Yuan Dan realm masters. It's a pity that the runes inscribed on the symbol puppets have dissipated and are unusable."
"It's a pity," Lin Dong replied, unable to hide his disappointment.
"Let's move on. It is said that there is a kind of extremely cold yin elixir called Extreme Evil Yin Dragon Saliva in this ancient tomb, which has a great effect on Qingtan. We must obtain it."
Lin Tian didn't care much about the symbol puppets; he said this to Lin Dong as he took the lead.
Seeing this, Lin Dong immediately followed.
The seemingly ferocious symbol puppets made no move to stop them; they remained there, indeed useless.
Not long after, the two arrived at the other end of the training ground.
A strong elixir scent filled the air.
In front of them was a clear lake with a small jade pool at its center.
In that small pond, many elixirs grew, and their quality was quite high.
Among them, one particular black elixir caught Lin Tian's attention.
Its appearance resembled that of a small snake, and an extremely strong cold and yin aura emanated from it.
"Sure enough, there is the Extreme Evil Yin Dragon Saliva!" Lin Dong exclaimed when he noticed the unique elixir.
Lin Tian smiled and quickly moved forward, picked up the Extreme Evil Yin Dragon Saliva, placed it in a jade box he had prepared in advance, and then stored it in the system space.
Afterward, Lin Tian and Lin Dong worked together to collect a plethora of fifth-grade and even sixth-grade elixirs.
"Brother Lin Tian, let's move on," Lin Dong suggested after collecting the herbs.
"Wait a minute," Lin Tian said with a smile. "There seems to be something under this elixir pool."
Little Marten was slightly surprised when he heard Lin Tian's words. "You noticed it too?"
"So you found it too," Lin Tian smiled and replied casually.
Next, Little Marten sprang into action, quickly sucking a symbol puppet out of the elixir pool.
"It's a medium-level symbol puppet, comparable to a strong person in the Form Creation Stage. Not bad," Lin Tian remarked with satisfaction upon seeing the symbol puppet.
Lin Dong shrugged. "Whether it's a medium-level or low-level symbol puppet, it's all scrap metal if it can't be used."
Little Marten interjected, "You're mistaken. This symbol puppet can be activated as long as you possess pure Yuan pills."
"Lin Dong, you should take this symbol puppet," Lin Tian said to Lin Dong after Little Marten explained.
Lin Dong protested, "Brother Lin Tian, you found it first, so it should be yours."
Lin Tian smiled slightly, "No need. I don't require a Form Creation Stage symbol puppet anymore; I have a high-level one here."
"Brother Lin Tian, when did you acquire a high-level symbol puppet? We've been together this whole time; I haven't seen you collect one," Lin Dong said, sounding incredulous.
"I got it before entering the Tomb Mansion," Lin Tian explained, summoning his high-level symbol puppet.
"It's a high-level symbol puppet! You're quite lucky," Little Marten remarked, recognizing it immediately.
"However, you'll need enough Pure Yuan Pills to use it; activating it requires tens of thousands of Pure Yuan Pills at a time."
"I know," Lin Tian smiled, then added, "I collected a lot of Pure Yuan Pills earlier, so I can give you some to activate this medium-level symbol puppet for your use."
While speaking, Lin Tian took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to Lin Dong.
"So many!" Lin Dong gasped, his eyes widening as he glanced at the bag.
Little Marten remarked unhappily, "Look at your naïve reaction; how many could there possibly be?"
Lin Dong estimated, "I roughly estimated that there are not less than one million!"
Lin Tian confirmed, "Yes, exactly one million Pure Yuan Pills. I still have plenty left, so just accept it."
"Tsk, that's impressive!" Little Marten marveled upon hearing the amount.
In a small place like the Great Yan Dynasty, one million Pure Yuan Pills was certainly not a trivial sum.
"Thank you, Brother Lin Tian," Lin Dong expressed his gratitude and finally accepted the medium-level symbol puppet and the one million Pure Yuan Pills offered by Lin Tian.
They continued their deeper exploration.
Along the way, they encountered numerous signs of battle.
Several medium-level symbol puppets had been destroyed in the process.
This experience made Lin Dong more aware of the significant gap between him and Lin Langtian.
After continuing their journey for a while, a light curtain suddenly appeared in front of them.
Little Marten stood on Lin Dong's shoulder and said, "Entering this light curtain likely leads to the core area of the ancient tomb. Do you still plan to go in? The danger level inside will probably increase several-fold."
Lin Tian and Lin Dong exchanged looks and smiled. "Since we are here, there is no reason not to go."
Lin Tian thought to himself that if they didn't go, perhaps the beautiful woman Ling Qingzhu would be taken advantage of by someone else.
Lin Dong agreed with Lin Tian's sentiment, and they both stepped through the light curtain.
Upon entering, darkness engulfed their vision for a moment. The next moment, they were met with an endless red glow.
An extremely hot wave of fire surged toward them!
Lin Dong hurriedly urged his Yuanli to protect his whole body, frowning as he said, "These flames are probably illusory, right?"
"True or false, who can say? This should also be a large formation," Little Marten replied, pointing to the center of the sea of fire and joking, "Look, those guys seem to be trapped too."
Lin Tian and Lin Dong followed Little Marten's gaze and indeed saw Lin Langtian, Wang Yan, and Qin Shi struggling against the encroaching fire waves in the sea of fire.
Ling Qingzhu, however, was not among them.
"Even Lin Langtian and the others are trapped in the sea of fire formation; what should we do now?" Lin Dong said solemnly, assessing the perilous situation ahead.
