She became a god

On the winter solstice, the emperor and empress jointly presided over the ancestral worship ceremony.

Ye Qingzhou was not supposed to come, but Qi Zhanying always felt indebted to her lover, and couldn't resist her repeated soft pleas, so he brought her to the ancestral worship ceremony.

"You, you finally came, and now you're sick."

Qi Zhanying sighed. As the Crown Princess, she had to attend, so she had no choice but to leave Ye Qingzhou inside the tent.

"I want to accompany Your Highness in the ancestral worship ceremony, just like Your Majesty and the Empress."

Upon hearing Ye Qingzhou's words, Qi Zhanying's expression softened considerably. "We still have many years ahead of us, and you must stay with me."

Ye Qingzhou smiled softly, which was taken as an agreement.

Qi Zhanying watched her drink the medicine before leaving.

"Candied fruit." Wen Xichun tossed a bag to Ye Qingzhou.

"Dried white peaches, so sweet, are they from Jinwei Shop? They're delicious!"

"Just sweet-talk them. They've already set off, so we should sneak up on them."

Ye Qingzhou reluctantly put down the dried white peach in her hand. In order to avoid attracting attention, she had been eating foods she didn't like every day for the past few days.

Today, I have a delicious meal to my liking, but I can't eat more than a few pieces.

Fortunately, these difficult days of living in anonymity and not being able to reveal one's true preferences are about to end!

Di Ziyu and her group successfully entered the underground palace, but she was not excited. She didn't know when the two people she couldn't find and the Shi siblings, who were up to no good, would appear.

This underground palace was built within the mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu of Yan and Empress Deng, during the Ragnarok era, the time of these founding emperors and empresses.

According to the historical records of this world, there were no humans in ancient times; there were only gods in this world, and the gods created all things.

Humans and gods shared the continent, but later, for some unknown reason, the gods left one after another, and even those who still existed rarely appeared before the world.

At the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, it received the help of the Thunder God and the Grain God, and thus bestowed upon these two deities an exceptionally high level of worship.

The murals inside this underground palace depict many scenes of how the Thunder God and the Grain God assisted Emperor Gaozu and his wife in achieving their great cause.

After walking for an hour, they passed through many stone gates, each time choosing the correct path based on their extensive knowledge.

But at this moment, the dancing figure made them feel uneasy.

It was a strange beast resembling a sheep, with four legs and horns growing on either side of its head.

Its body is bluish-yellow, its ears are large, almost reaching its shoulders, its waist is long, its abdomen is fat, and its four legs are short but strong.

Mole crickets? They actually encountered mole crickets here.

Legend has it that the earthworm lives deep in the mountains and loves to dance to music, and is considered the origin of music and dance.

However, the earthworm feeds on humans.

Unfortunately, they are now about to become humans who are eaten by earthworms.

The earthworms had their eyes on them; they were eyes filled with greed and desire.

The earthworm, which had been guarding the underground palace for three hundred years without eating, became much more lively after sensing the presence of humans.

That is the most primal and basic need of all living things: the craving for food.

As its massive form drew near, no one could help but worry about their own situation.

Fortunately, the three of them were able to subdue this strange beast.

Di Ziyu played the xiao (a type of vertical flute), Ye Mengying plucked the strings of the zither, and Ye Mengwan sang a captivating melody that made the strange beast dance along.

Under their guidance, the strange beast collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Unsure how effective the lullaby would be against the beast, the three hurried away without delay.

When they opened the last stone door, they were still taken aback, even though they had expected it.

The golden light that filled the room illuminated the underground palace as brightly as daytime.

Inside the stone chamber, gold and silver treasures were piled up like mountains, and divine weapons were scattered all over the ground.

The three of them didn't care about these external things; they just split up to search for their goal: the Nine-Flower Snow Lotus.

Jiuhua Snow Lotus, a legendary top-grade medicinal herb, is also the main ingredient of the seventh-grade elixir, Jiuhua Dan.

The Nine-Flower Pill, named after the phrase "returning to oneness and the abundance of natural treasures," has numerous effects. Its most widely circulated and sought-after effect is that it can bring the dead back to life when taken by cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or below.

After searching for a while, the three of them finally opened the box containing the Nine-Flower Snow Lotus between the Emperor's and Empress's coffins.

The Complete Book of Elixirs in the Cultivation World records: The Nine-Flower Snow Lotus grows in the snow of the Great Cold Land, where it does not dissipate in spring and summer. There is grass growing among the snow, resembling a lotus flower with a single stem. It is graceful and lovely among the snow, with nine divine lights surrounding it.

What they saw was exactly the same as what was recorded in the book, and the three of them were overjoyed.

One Jiuhua Snow Lotus can be used to refine one batch of Jiuhua Pills, approximately 6-10 pills.

They refined and divided the ingredients, and there were still some left over.

However... we still need to find a cultivator who can comprehend the "Nine Flower Heart Sutra".

The Heart Sutra of Jiuhua is currently in Ye Qingzhou's possession.

Fortunately, Ye Qingzhou is a cunning man; if he can be lured with great rewards, the matter can be accomplished.

Where can one find a Taoist practitioner who can comprehend the "Nine Flower Heart Sutra"?

Over the years, I have never heard of any seventh-grade alchemist who was a useless person with five spiritual roots.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, sand and soil fell all at once, the underground palace shook, and it was about to collapse.

Without further thought, the three hurriedly took the Nine-Flower Snow Lotus and ran away at breakneck speed.

Not long after they left, two other figures appeared.

One of them picked through the weapons scattered on the ground, while the other rushed towards the pile of gold and silver treasures.

Just before the underground palace was about to collapse, the two of them urged their speed to escape.

Wen Xichun mostly picked up weapons that could be used as materials for sword forging, but the only unexpected surprise was the Thunderclap Sword.

The Thunderclap Sword was forged from a meteorite. Legend has it that just as the sword was about to be completed, a thunderbolt with the force to uproot three mountains struck it, tempering it into a forged sword. It is a magical treasure ranked tenth on the list of powerful weapons, capable of summoning a barrage of thunderbolts.

As for Ye Qingzhou, the sixth child, she simply took all the gold and silver jewelry.

Even if I don't need these mundane things, the original owner definitely did.

If all else fails, they can support Qi Zhanying's great cause, or build more temples for Lady Zhaoji.

Anyway, the more money the better.

Moreover, she seemed to have vaguely seen the Ice Soul Pearl while she was moving things into the Qiankun Bag.

The Ice Soul Pearl, a legendary top-grade earth-level magic weapon, is born from the high-altitude icy plains and is rich in ice spiritual energy. It is an offensive magic weapon that is sought after by countless cultivators with ice spiritual roots.

For Ye Qingzhou, who possesses the Heavenly Water Spirit Root, the Ice Soul Pearl is not actually of great use.

But she firmly believes that good things always find a good place and bring good returns.

Ye Qingzhou felt grateful that he had brought a Qiankun bag with him. Although it was empty, it was very convenient for searching for treasures.

I, Xiongxiong, am one of the richest women in the world!

The upturn of her lips puzzled Wen Xichun. "Are you really that confident in getting the Jiuhua Snow Lotus back?"

In Wen Xichun's view, Ye Qingzhou must have come for the Jiuhua Snow Lotus as well.

If it weren't for the sudden earthquake, Ye Qingzhou would probably have set off to fight for it.

Or perhaps Ye Qingzhou was overjoyed to have picked up a pile of useless gold and silver jewelry.

She really is an easily satisfied little panda.

"I don't need to steal it," Ye Qingzhou replied with a grin. "They will come looking for me. I will definitely have a share of the Nine-Flower Pill."

"You want to exchange it for the Nine-Flower Heart Sutra?"

"They cannot live without the Heart Sutra of Jiuhua Mountain."

"The Nine-Flower Pill is too precious."

The implication is that even if the other party is willing to exchange, they are unlikely to use the Nine-Flower Pill in exchange.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingzhou smiled slyly, "I have my own way."

"Are you really not going to rob it?"

"Do I look like that kind of bear?" Ye Qingzhou blinked. "I've always been a law-abiding citizen!"
