One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

"You're saying this tomb belongs to Qingwuzi?"

"That's right, it's the Qingwuzi you remember."

"That's a figure of the patriarch level in the field of feng shui and physiognomy. His tomb must be full of traps and mechanisms."

Chen Yulou also expressed his concerns, and Sun Yao had also considered this. This world is different from the world of the Nine Gates. As the patriarch of the Feng Shui lineage, couldn't Qing Wuzi possibly be an extraordinary being?

If, as Sun Yao speculated, Qingwuzi was indeed an extraordinary person, then the tomb he set up would likely surpass even the tombs of King Xian and Rakshasa Sea City. Although the mine tomb in the TV series appears to be safe without incident, the dangers within are clearly visible.

Whether it's the corpse moth, the mirror maze, or the hair virus, they will all receive unimaginable enhancements this time. Most importantly, there's the magic array he set up inside Yuntong, specifically targeting inner demons. Sun Yao isn't sure if he possesses inner demons, but his stagnant strength over the past three years has certainly made him somewhat restless. If this is defined as an inner demon, then their journey will face unimaginable obstacles.

After all, Zhang Qishan's inner demon was his own bloodline, which is why he created the battle between the Qilin and the Qiongqi within his inner demon illusion. However, if Sun Yao's inner demon is his stagnant strength, it's highly likely that the inner demon he encounters will be a much stronger version of himself.

Of course, Sun Yao didn't mention this. He didn't want to cause the group to lose confidence before even entering the ancient tomb in the mine, as that would make the team difficult to manage.

“Qing Wuzi is indeed a feng shui master, but do you think his house is better or mine?” Sun Yao asked a rhetorical question in a light tone, which made Chen Yulou smile.

"Of course you are stronger, Daoist Master. How could a mere Qingwuzi be worthy of being compared to you?"

"That's more like it. A feng shui master who's already dead—even if he were alive, could he really beat me?"

"That's right. A person like Daoist Master is no different from an immortal. What is Qingwuzi worth mentioning?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yao glanced sideways. If anyone else had said such a thing, Sun Yao wouldn't have reacted this way. It was precisely because it was Luo Laowai who spoke that Sun Yao was surprised.

"I never expected that Luo Shuai would become almost a cultured person after three years."

"Dao Ye always laughs at me, Lao Wai. I used to be a reckless man, but now I've become a legitimate commander. You have to learn some culture to fight a war. Brother Ba Tou even enrolled me in a military academy, and I go there for training every two weeks."

"This is a good thing. We always recommend you for military school because it's for your own good."

"I, Lao Wai, am not a clueless person. Of course I know that Brother Ba Tou is doing this for my own good. That's why I've learned a bit of knowledge now."

"Hmm, you do seem to have the air of a cultured person now. However, you're not going to the mine this time, but I need you to keep a close watch outside the mine. Once we're inside, no one else can go in, and the entire area around the mine must be cordoned off."

"Rest assured, Master Dao, I guarantee the mission will be completed! If anything goes wrong, I, Lao Wai, will offer my head in retribution!"

Seeing that Sun Yao had assigned him a task, Luo Laowai immediately pledged his loyalty. He knew that Sun Yao giving him orders meant that Sun Yao considered him one of his own. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to truly curry favor with Sun Yao.

Just as Sun Yao was about to assign tasks to the remaining people, a voice suddenly came from outside the reception room. "Sir, we have guests. Shall we receive them?!"

The voice, though strong and powerful, was enough for Sun Yao to tell from the sound that the person was quite a distance from the meeting room. The reason for shouting from such a distance was likely because he didn't want to disturb the private discussions taking place inside.

"The chief has found me a good housekeeper; he's very sensible."

“Since this is the Daoist’s residence, everything here is of course the best. This steward used to be an old man from our Xieling sect, and Hua Maguai was his apprentice. He used to serve my father, but now my father is retired and doesn’t need so many people to serve him. I thought I’d have him come here to manage all the affairs first, and then he can return to Changsheng Mountain after he has trained a capable confidant.”

Chen Yulou revealed all the steward's secrets, emphasizing that sincerity is the key to success in interpersonal relationships, especially when the two are not evenly matched.

"The leader is very thoughtful. By the way, you can pick a group of people from the Xieling brothers to practice this. It would be of great benefit to Xieling."

After saying that, Sun Yao took out an ancient book from his treasure bag. It wasn't really an ancient book, but it looked like it had been around for at least thirty or forty years. The book had the five characters "Earthly Immortal Chronicle" written on it.

This was the Earth Immortal Manual that Sun Yao had obtained from Chen Wuji. Although it was indeed an insignificant trick for Sun Yao, it was undoubtedly a huge boost for the Unloading Ridge faction.

Compared to the other three tomb raiding sects, which are likely to have members with extraordinary abilities, the main advantage of the Unloading Ridge sect lies in its large number of members. There may be extraordinary individuals within the Unloading Ridge sect, but they are only a few individuals.

For example, Kunlun. Sun Yao once investigated him. Although he had difficulty speaking, he did have physical abilities. His strength was much greater than that of ordinary superhumans. He could even go toe-to-toe with Liu Deshui of Yanwu Hall with his physical strength alone.

However, the majority of the members of the Unloading Ridge faction are ordinary people. Their sheer numbers, however, mean that even ants can kill an elephant. This also means that each of their tomb raiding expeditions will inevitably result in some casualties, unlike the Tomb Raiders, Gold Movers, and Mountain Movers, who, although fewer in number, possess a wide range of methods and may even be supernatural beings. Each tomb raiding expedition yields results, and the probability of injury or death is very small, unless they encounter a particularly difficult tomb.

Furthermore, the members of the Unloading Ridge faction primarily excavated the tombs of kings and nobles, which might contain abundant gold and silver treasures, but offered no cultivation methods whatsoever. Therefore, the Unloading Ridge faction couldn't allow its members to cultivate on a large scale, because while they possessed innate extraordinary abilities, they lacked the methods for cultivation.

Sun Yao's cultivation of Earthly Immortal was undoubtedly a timely help for Xie Ling. Any tomb is extremely simple for someone who has cultivated Earthly Immortal. Most importantly, after cultivating Earthly Immortal, this group of people will no longer be afraid of the tomb collapsing. They can do whatever they want.
