Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

The interior of the fourth passage is very clean and tidy, and there is not a single spider web to be found as can be seen everywhere outside. It seems that this character can restrain the ghost-faced spider.

Hu Qing led the way cautiously. After all, he was a soul, and some mechanisms were of no use to him.

Gu Yang also discovered the problem as he walked behind, and he wiped the wall with his fingers.

"Ah Qing, something is wrong here. The furniture outside is all rotten, but there's not a speck of dust in here. It's a little too clean."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qing also stopped, looked around, walked beside Gu Yang, picked up his finger and swiped it on the wall.

"Hey, hey, this is my finger. I just tried it."

"I know it's yours. I don't have any fingers."

Hu Qing stretched out his sandbag-sized palm in front of Gu Yang. There were indeed no fingers, only a ball.

Gu Yang curled his lips and said nothing more, letting Hu Qing wipe the wall.

Hu Qing looked at his fingers and found that there was indeed no dust on them, so he put them down.

"There's really no dust on your hands, but there's a lot of dead skin. You haven't taken good care of your fingers."

Gu Yang was very proud when he heard the first half, as he was the first to discover it. After hearing the second half, he quickly withdrew his hand and put it behind his back.

"Change...seasons are not an option! Stop caring too much and just go away."

"Better be careful. I'm worried someone might be living in here. Otherwise, why would they keep it so clean?"

The two walked deeper into the passage, walking lightly and moving slowly. At the end of the passage, a mottled stone door appeared.

There were words carved on both sides of the stone gate. Hu Qing approached with the night-shining pearl and read out the words one by one:

"The heroic spirit... rests here for thousands of years... for generations to come."

"Loyal bones...will forever guard this gate for generations to come."

It seems that this place, or even this mountain, is an ancient tomb. The ruins at the foot of the mountain can explain it clearly. The crystal should contain tribute.

Gu Yang didn't think too much about it. He just turned the door handle and pushed the door hard, but the stone door still didn't move.

He thought that the way he opened the door was wrong, so he put his foot on the door and pulled it out hard, but the door didn't move at all.

Gu Yang wanted to turn around and ask Hu Qing if there was any other way to open the door, but he only heard a crisp sound:

"Click..."

The stone door suddenly opened a small gap. The door that he had tried so hard to open was finally opened by Hu Qing in one go.

"The word 'door' on the left is pressable. It must be a mechanical door. This is where the gravekeeper lives. Don't be so reckless next time."

Gu Yang's old face turned red. Without thinking too much, he opened the stone door directly. What came into view were black flower pots, but the plants in them were withered and it was impossible to tell what kind they were.

The two men walked straight in. This secret room was too simple, with only a large iron stove two people tall, several flower pots, and some bottles and jars placed on the ground.

The entire secret room was still so clean, without a trace of dust. The two began to search, but there was no trace of life inside.

Hu Qing picked up some bottles and jars on the ground. These should be pills, but he didn't know what was inside.

After pouring out two bottles, some black pills rolled into his hands. It must be because it was too long, the pills had all lost their luster and the fragrance was no longer there.

Hu Qing took out a pill and gently kneaded it with his hands, but the pill didn't move at all. It seemed that all the moisture had disappeared, and the medicinal effect should have been gone.

He opened all the bottles and jars on the ground, and they were all filled with these black balls, which soon piled up into a small hill.

Hu Qing felt helpless looking at the pile of waste pills. Even if the medicinal effect had not worn off, he didn't dare to eat it, so he turned around and explored the iron furnace.

Gu Yang was observing the flower pots. There were nine in a horizontal row and nine in a vertical row, which made exactly eighty-one flower pots, and the plants on them were all kinds of strange.

Gu Yang touched one of the plants that looked like a cow's egg with his hand, but before he could pick it up, it turned into powder and fell to the ground.

He extended his claws to other plants. It was fine if he didn't touch them, but once he touched them, they turned into powder and the whole area was filled with dust.

Gu Yang accidentally inhaled some particles and started coughing. Just as he was about to use his spiritual power to dispel them, a buzzing sound came from above his head.

Hu Qing was also attracted here. He saw that all the powder in the sky was absorbed by a bead on the top. The powder in the secret room became less and less, and the bead became brighter and brighter, finally illuminating the entire secret room.

Gu Yang looked at the bead in confusion. It absorbed the powder so quickly that in the blink of an eye, his vision became clear.

"This bead is a treasure. It can actually absorb particles. It seems that there is no dust in this secret room. It must be thanks to it."

"Then is there also one in the passage at the door? Otherwise, how could the dust disappear?"

Gu Yang looked towards the door. This was indeed a treasure. With it, he could keep it clean anytime and anywhere.

"Brother Gu, come here, let's take this furnace away. This should be the alchemy furnace."

Hu Qing's shout interrupted his fantasy and he quickly approached the big iron furnace.

The iron furnace is in the shape of a pagoda, with eight fire outlets and a lid on top. The surface is inlaid with some jewels, making it look extremely luxurious.

Hu Qing slammed the iron furnace until it made a buzzing sound. Gu Yang looked around and thought it was indeed a treasure, so he put it into his storage ring.

However, neither of them knew how to make pills, so they could only wait to learn later or sell them at a high price.

After the iron furnace disappeared, a wooden door appeared on the ground. Hu Qing touched it lightly, and the wooden door broke into pieces and fell into the ground, revealing a dark hole.

"Brother Gu, do you want to go down and take a look? Maybe there are treasures there."

"No need, I'll go take the beads, you go down first."

Hu Qing jumped down immediately after hearing that, while Gu Yang found two cabinets in the storage ring to use as stepping stones and climbed up to buckle the bead.

The basement was pitch black and the light from above could not shine in. Hu Qing activated the night pearl and looked around.

There is only less than 4 square meters in this room, and there are all kinds of wooden shelves, making the already small secret room seem even more crowded.

These wooden racks were all empty. As Hu Qing was walking, he felt something poking his buttocks, so he lowered his head to check.

This is a very small and complete skeleton. It should be a child. He was under a wooden frame. No wonder I didn’t see it when I lit up the light just now.

The child was holding a glass bottle in his tiny fingers, and Hu Qing took it off slowly, fearing that he would break his joints.

Inside was a note that read, "If the branch family has ulterior motives and is colluding with outsiders, go to the center to find Gu..."

The content at the back has been covered with blood, so Gu's name cannot be seen, but where is the center, Haitian City?

Hu Qing thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he bowed to the bones and put his hands together to express his gratitude.
