"Smelly Smelly has no ambition, Tuan Tuan is better than Smelly Smelly!"
"Right, Daddy!"
The little fox lay on Zhang Tian's lap, glancing disdainfully at the fatty.
Ever since the fatty covered the little fox's mouth with his smelly hands, the nickname "Smelly Smelly" was born.
"You dumb fox, how dare you say that? If you hadn't spun out all the pills, would Fatty have gotten so excited?"
"Spit out the pills now, and I'll consider you decent," Fatty said.
Fatty's expression turned serious as he looked at the little fox.
The little fox, however, stuck out its pink tongue, ignoring Fatty.
The two of them were like sworn enemies.
Zhang Tian tapped the table to quiet them down.
Then, he spoke again.
"We each get one Rejuvenation Pill. However, I don't recommend selling them, as it might bring about a deadly disaster. What you do with them is none of my business."
"Then, there are eight cultivation pills. There are four of us, so two each. Any objections?"
Zhang Tian spoke again, and everyone nodded.
Zhang Qilin remained silent, but he placed considerable importance on pills.
After this experience, he realized that his current strength might not be enough to uncover the ultimate secret.
Zhang Tian then distributed the pills.
"There is one last type of pill, the Snow Lotus Pill, four of them. They can restore injuries, so they are for healing. We each get one."
Soon, Zhang Tian finished distributing everything, and no one had any objections.
Hu Bayi and Fatty felt a sense of gratitude towards Zhang Tian. After all, Zhang Tian could have taken all these pills.
They wouldn't have said anything, as Zhang Tian was their leader. However, he had been fair and just, which was undeniable.
The reason Zhang Tian was fair and transparent was primarily to help everyone improve.
After all, one person's ability was limited. Take Zhang Qilin, for example.
He could lead a team on his own, but sometimes, when facing great danger, the benefits of a team would become apparent.
After distributing the pills, Zhang Tian looked at the three jade pendants, which were what he valued the most.
His spiritual sense surged into the three jade pendants.
Three cultivation techniques appeared:
"Dan Yao Chu Jian" (Pill Primer)
"Lian Yao Shu" (Demon Refining Technique)
"Dan Yao Shou Fa Ji Zai" (Record of Pill Techniques)
Zhang Tian saw the contents of the three jade pendants.
Upon seeing what was inside, Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
Two of them were related to alchemy, and one was for refining demons, likely for those sea monsters and such.
This was an extremely wicked cultivation method that caused great suffering to sea monsters and forbidden women, imbuing them with intense resentment. This was completely unsuitable for them to cultivate.
"These two jade pendants are for alchemy. Who among you wants to practice alchemy?"
Zhang Tian looked at the other three.
He already had fortune-telling, formations, and Taoist magic, so Zhang Tian had no intention of practicing alchemy. He knew that trying to learn too much at once would be detrimental.
"Boss, you have divination, I have Feng Shui, and Fatty is not suited for it. It seems only Brother Er can try this."
Hu Bayi looked at Zhang Qilin.
Truthfully, Zhang Qilin was the most suitable candidate for practicing alchemy.
Not only did he possess abundant true qi, but he also had the patience. Perhaps he could truly succeed in the future.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Qilin uttered a few words.
"I'll try."
With that, Zhang Tian smiled and handed the jade pendants to him.
"These two are for alchemy. Just do your best."
Zhang Tian said, while the little fox looked at Zhang Qilin with eager eyes.
She could already imagine a scene of Second Brother sitting in front of a cauldron, majestically and coolly refining pills.
Yes, he would be like a grand alchemist idol.
"This one is for refining demons. It's a bit wicked, I don't recommend cultivating it."
Zhang Tian said. Hu Bayi nodded.
"Is it for sea monsters? Refining demons by causing suffering to others, Boss, why not destroy it? It's just a scourge if kept."
Hu Bayi said. Even Fatty, who was usually fond of wealth, nodded.
After all, he recalled the terror of being dominated by sea monsters.
Zhang Tian said no more. With a wave of his hand, the jade pendant turned to dust.
If Wu Tianzhen, who had returned empty-handed, knew this, he would probably be stunned.
Afterward, Zhang Tian took out the last wooden box, which was the item found beneath the withered old corpse.
Zhang Tian had always been curious about what was inside.
"It's locked?"
Seeing the wooden box locked, Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
"Boss, didn't you find a key inside the belly of that White-Haired Drought Corpse? Try it?"
Hu Bayi remembered something and spoke.
The key had not been used before. Zhang Tian had initially thought it was for opening the tomb door, but it had never been put to use.
Nodding, he took out the key.
He inserted it into the lock of the wooden box.
With a "click," the wooden box opened, revealing half a map.
It was more like a small portion of a map, about the size of a palm.
Upon seeing the map, Zhang Tian and the others shivered.
"Boss, this is a small portion of the Medicine King's Tomb map!"
Fatty exclaimed.
Zhang Tian looked at the map and nodded slightly.
"It seems this is fate. It's a pity it's still missing a piece."
Zhang Tian said, surprised that it was half a map.
"It's likely that Wang Canghai learned his alchemy skills in the Medicine King's Tomb. For him to become such a powerful alchemist, the Medicine King's Tomb must be more important than we imagined."
Zhang Tian mused as he looked at the map.
One could imagine how many treasures would be in a place that allowed Wang Canghai to become an alchemist.
"It's still half a map. I think Shirley Yang and the others came to find this, but they received incorrect information, thinking the map was for the Jingjue Ancient City."
Hu Bayi thought and said.
"There's a possibility. Their information was not very complete to begin with."
Zhang Tian said softly. Shirley Yang and the others were searching haphazardly, and their foundation was insufficient.
This also explained why Shirley Yang came here.
They thought the information about the Jingjue Ancient City was here, but in the end, it turned out to be information about the Medicine King's Tomb.
Zhang Tian shook his head and looked at Fatty.
"After this tomb exploration, the Princess's yin energy should have been sufficiently absorbed. You might even be able to enter the ranks of the Red Clothes."
"Fatty, you better cherish this opportunity."
Zhang Tian said. Fatty was bewildered.
"Boss, what are you talking about? Fatty doesn't understand!"
Fatty scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.
Zhang Tian rolled his eyes at him and looked at his backpack.
The harvest this time was significant, especially the bell, which had a certain use.
Meanwhile, on another ship.
Wu Tianzhen and his group boarded the ship in a rather disheveled state.
"Damn, this is too weird. That zombie seemed to have an eternal grudge against us, chasing us before we even started our actions."
"Fatty guesses that the zombie must have been an impatient person in life, always in a hurry with everything, and fast!"
Fatty lay on the ship's deck, complaining fiercely.
Wu Tianzhen's gaze was fixed on the ship not far away.
After this incident, Wu Tianzhen had clearly grown a lot.
"Did Uncle San really kill someone? And the matter of Xie Lianhuan, what did they experience in the archaeological team back then?"
Wu Tianzhen had huge question marks in his mind.
He was completely baffled by the inscriptions on the wall earlier. The events were becoming increasingly bizarre.
"Don't overthink it, Tianzhen. Let's go back first. You've been too tired recently."
Pan Zi patted Wu Tianzhen's shoulder.
Wu Tianzhen nodded, his face showing a hint of seriousness.
Mysteries surrounded him, making him eager to unravel them one by one.
"Uncle Pan, we experienced a lot and saw a lot during this tomb exploration, but unfortunately, we returned empty-handed. Next time, we must work harder."
Wu Tianzhen said earnestly.
He was determined to find something to improve himself, otherwise, he would always be in a passive position.
Pan Zi nodded and looked to the side.
"Let's take her to the hospital first. We can talk about the tomb exploration later."
Pan Zi said. Wu Tianzhen nodded, and they carried Ah Ning into the ship's cabin.
On Professor Chen's side, Shirley Yang's mind was active. She had discovered many mysteries, such as why Zhang Tian had removed the dangers of many tombs but not the final one.
And who drew the formation patterns? How did Zhang Tian and his group emerge from the ancient tomb unharmed?
She had even noticed the fox beside Zhang Tian.
"How can there be a fox at the bottom of the sea?"
Shirley Yang pondered with curiosity. She wanted to ask Hu Bayi what had happened.
