Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 335: Fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain
"How did you find this place?"

"To answer the Immortal Master, I got a bronze scroll that year, which contained the route and method to open the magic circle, so I got this opportunity."

"Where's the copper scroll?"

"Master, please don't blame me. I was worried that the bronze scroll would be lost or fall into the hands of others, so I destroyed it after I got this opportunity."

Yang Qian hummed and did not comment, but he sneered in his heart. Bai Xian's seemingly reasonable words were full of loopholes in Yang Qian's eyes.

I built a tomb and gave you a map to distribute? Are you stupid?

Treasure maps are only written in novels, but they are impossible to exist in reality. Otherwise, where would the chance come from? Isn't it better to just hunt for treasure?

Yang Qian was certain that there must be some hidden story between this tomb and Bai Xian.

"I'll give you another chance. Tell me clearly how you found this place." Yang Qian smiled and pinched Bai Xian's soul again, and Dan Fire emerged from his palm.

"Master, please forgive me, I..."

"Say!"

Bai Xian seemed to be frightened by the burning of the pill fire, and stammered before confessing: "Master, back then, the little demon was captured and used as a test stone to explore the dangers in the tomb. Later, the man took the things in the coffin, practiced the jade disc and left in a hurry, only to seal the little demon in this tomb and wait for death after seriously injuring him.

But later, for some unknown reason, that person never came back. Xiao Yao also saved his life because he comprehended the skills in the jade disc when he was on the verge of death.

After several years of suffering, the seal that the man had set at the entrance of the tomb suddenly became invalid for some reason. Only the original trick of the tomb remained, and the little demon was able to escape.

"Every word I say is true and I won't hide anything!"

As he spoke, Bai Xian knelt in Yang Qian's palm and kowtowed repeatedly for mercy, looking humble and pitiful.

"The entrance array cannot be opened by ordinary means. How do you break it?"

“I don’t have that ability, but the jade disc contains the method of opening and closing the tomb. As long as you can understand the first level of the key, you can master the key to enter and exit the tomb.

"Master, I really didn't lie! If you don't believe me, you can try it. If I lied, you can just turn around and refine me. I won't complain!"

Yang Qian felt that there was still a problem, and felt that the problem might be with the jade disc embedded in the stone platform.

Give up to avoid risks? No way. This was Yang Qian's first encounter with a serious martial arts technique. How could he let it go?

Yang Qian held Bai Xian's soul and walked towards the stone platform step by step.

The jade disc inlaid in the stone carving on the stone platform was red in color, with faint flowing light moving on it.

Yang Qian walked closer and reached out to take it, but found that he could not take it off at all. Moreover, the stone platform and the jade disc were integrated, and taking it away by force would inevitably destroy the jade disc.

What about cutting off the stone platform as well?
No, that won't work. The surface of the stone platform is not supported, and the entire surface is covered with dense magic array patterns, which are connected with the surrounding magic array patterns that spread throughout the tomb from the entrance. If one move affects the whole body, it is very likely to destroy the jade disc and cause other variables.

Yang Qian stood in front of the stone platform. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that Bai Xian's soul in his hand seemed to tremble slightly.

Then Yang Qian directed his divine consciousness towards the jade disc embedded in the stone sculpture on the stone platform. Then, as usual, he received a prompt from the experience panel.

[Found "Sky-Bearing Tyrant Body·Part 1", do you want to log in? ] Just by looking at the name, you can understand that this thing is of the same origin as the tomb owner mentioned by Bai Xian, the Sky-Bearing Demon Master.

"Log in!"

Yang Qian's eyes lit up. Not only did the experience panel obtain the information about the skills, but it also offered the option to log in. This undoubtedly meant that "The Sky-Bearing Tyrant Body" was definitely something Yang Qian lacked, which meant it was useful to him, otherwise he would not be prompted to log in.

"Sky Tyrant Body·Part 0": Beginner 2400/
Yang Qian was already pleasantly surprised to have come across a martial arts technique. Now, after seeing the initial experience of this technique, he suddenly felt like he had struck upon a treasure with a hoe.

At the same time when Yang Qian logged into "The Tyrant Body of the Sky·Part 1", the jade disc on the stone platform also emitted a red light that covered Yang Qian.

Yang Qian did not dodge because he really had no idea what the red light was trying to do and it had no effect on him at all.

Just to create atmosphere?

But Bai Xian's soul in Yang Qian's hand didn't think so. He suddenly burst into laughter.

"Damn you, you dare to use your mind to directly contact the Dafa Jade Disc. Is your soul still able to move now? Humph! Dafa's soul-crushing test will make you suffer at least a layer of skin if you don't die! When your soul is weak, it will be the chance for me to take over your body! When the time comes, I will bite your soul to pieces and make you suffer the pain of soul-devouring to vent my anger."

Before he could finish his vicious words, the smugness and rampant laughter that were mixed in with his words suddenly stopped along with the words that followed.

A pair of eyes as sharp as knives were looking towards Bai Xian. They belonged to Yang Qian, who he was sure should have fallen into the soul-shattering test of the Dafa Jade Disc.

"Master Xianxian, how are you?"

"Tsk, tell me what the soul-breaking test you just mentioned is. Tell me what you just concealed and lied about. If you explain it clearly, I will let you go. If you still talk nonsense, I don't mind putting you on the fire and burning you, making you want to live but not die!"

Bai Xian opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. His soul's expression changed from shock to panic, and finally to despair.

After a meal, the demon king, who had only met Yang Qian for two hours and had fought for life and death several times, was finally chopped into pieces by several sword intentions that emerged from the palm of Yang Qian's hand. He died without any pain, and his soul was scattered.

Yang Qian rarely satisfied the evil spirit's wish for death.

Similarly, as a price, Bai Xian told Yang Qian everything before he died. After all, knowing that he would die, it was much easier to seek a quick death than to be tortured forever.

What Bai Xian said before about how he obtained "The Sky-Bearing Tyrant Body Part 1" was not entirely true. He only told half the truth.

Bai Xian was indeed captured by a powerful man and brought to this secret tomb. He was indeed used as a test stone.

But the result was different from what Bai Xian had said before.

The monk who had captured Bai Xian and treated him like a stone finally died. He died at Bai Xian's hands.

The situation at that time was almost the same as now. Bai Xian was dying, and took advantage of the moment when the other party immersed his spiritual thoughts into the jade disc but was strangely suppressed by the jade disc and underwent a test to fight back and kill the other party.

Later, Bai Xian continued to explore the jade disc and finally found out what happened. He survived the test of the jade disc and obtained the great law in the jade disc.

This is how the White Bone Immortal of Baiguling came into being.

Just now, when the jade disc emitted a red light, he thought that Yang Qian was also undergoing the jade disc's soul-crushing test, so he thought that he could once again counterattack. And this time he could also take over a martial arts practitioner's body. But in the end, it was all in vain.
