Chapter 225 The Woman in the Coffin

The plaque was set, using the name originally determined by Zhang Meng.

"The Two Masters"

The name was good, majestic, and not trite.

After bustling about for a whole day, and having dinner with Zhang Meng, Li Xiaoyao found an excuse to return to the shop.

He had been holding back all day, and tonight, he had to make sure whether there really was a Spirit Stone Vein beneath the ground, as his mind had detected.

"Young Master, are you going down?" Nie Xiaoqian suddenly emerged from the ancient jade and asked softly.

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "I can feel that the Spiritual Energy is coming from below, and I'm sure there must be a Spirit Stone Vein down there."

Nie Xiaoqian's gaze seemed a bit vacant as she said, "But Xiaoqian vaguely feels that there might be danger below."

"Danger?"

Li Xiaoyao was startled; he hadn't sensed any so-called danger.

However, it was normal for Nie Xiaoqian to have stronger senses than him since her cultivation level was more powerful.

Only she didn't have his thoughts.

He had already given the place a rough scan with his mind during the day, and had noticed nothing dangerous.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "What kind of danger?"

Nie Xiaoqian's eyebrows, light as Xiubrow, drew together slightly as she clasped the hem of her dress and shook her head, saying, "I don't know either, but I can sense that danger."

Li Xiaoyao also frowned; he couldn't just not go down because Nie Xiaoqian, a woman, felt a sixth sense of danger.

After all, there was a Spirit Stone Vein below.

This vein held enormous temptation for the current Li Xiaoyao.

If he could possess this Spirit Stone Vein, Li Xiaoyao wouldn't need to worry about buying items from the System for a while.

"If there's danger, I'll retreat in time." Li Xiaoyao still decided to go down.

Knowing she couldn't persuade Li Xiaoyao, Nie Xiaoqian said, "I'll accompany you."

Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

If it came to cultivation level, Nie Xiaoqian was two realms higher than Li Xiaoyao. If there truly was danger below, having Nie Xiaoqian there would give him an extra measure of protection.

Drawing a gentle breath, Li Xiaoyao closed the shop's main door, walked to the back of the shop, and flicked a finger at a floor tile.

"Bang!"

A thunderous explosion rang out, blasting a huge pit more than a meter wide into the ground beneath him.

In Li Xiaoyao's hand, a mystical gesture formed, and with its changing patterns, a burst of Spiritual Power was released from his body, swiftly enveloping him.

From the outside, Li Xiaoyao looked as though he was a War God clad in greenish-grey armor.

Li Xiaoyao hovered in midair, and then like an arrow, he shot towards the ground.

Where Li Xiaoyao passed, the soil turned inside out, quickly burrowing towards the depths.

Releasing Spiritual Power to break through to the underground was extremely draining.

In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Li Xiaoyao had already spent a third of his Spiritual Power.

It was pitch-dark underground. Li Xiaoyao released his thoughts, knowing he was about to reach his destination.

A few minutes later, Li Xiaoyao silently said to himself, "I've arrived!"

"Puff!"

The final layer of soil broke open, and Li Xiaoyao fell from the muddy layer, standing on the ground, his eyes swiftly sweeping around, the joy in his eyes impossible to hide.

Scene after scene glowing with green fluorescence made Li Xiaoyao involuntarily lick his lips.

Li Xiaoyao randomly grabbed a handful of Spirit Stones, quickly counting them, and found there were at least seven or eight.

These Spirit Stones were irregularly shaped diamonds, and Li Xiaoyao harvested them with great enthusiasm.

In just a few short minutes, Li Xiaoyao had gathered over a thousand Spirit Stones.

"Young Master," Nie Xiaoqian stood by Li Xiaoyao's side, her voice clear and coldly beautiful, which suddenly snapped the excited Li Xiaoyao back to reality.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoyao took out the Seven Star Ancient Sword. Although the sword was an antique, Li Xiaoyao had tested it and found that its material was very special—so much so that even a Cultivator could not destroy it.

On a regular basis, there was nothing better for Li Xiaoyao to use against his enemies.

Li Xiaoyao held the Ancient Sword across his chest, his gaze wary as he scanned the surroundings, and his thoughts inching along as he searched the area.

Nie Xiaoqian walked beside Li Xiaoyao, a trace of confusion in her eyes. She could sense danger, yet she was unable to pinpoint the source of this danger.

"The Spiritual Energy over there is so rich!"

Li Xiaoyao looked towards the center of the Spirit Stone Vein in shock. There, the Spiritual Energy was so dense that it almost formed a mist, continuously turning into streams of Spiritual Energy that converged into a column of energy.

Li Xiaoyao stared at this naturally formed phenomenon in amazement, dumbfounded.

As he approached, he could clearly feel the terrifying amount of energy contained within the column of Spiritual Energy.

Li Xiaoyao put away the Ancient Sword and extended his right hand towards the column of Spiritual Energy.

At that moment, Nie Xiaoqian suddenly grabbed Li Xiaoyao, her voice deliberately lowered and filled with tension, "Don't."

Li Xiaoyao looked at her, puzzled. Nie Xiaoqian looked at the column of Spiritual Energy and said, "There's something below."

"Below?" Li Xiaoyao frowned, his thoughts stretching into a fine thread down along the column of Spiritual Energy.

Below this column of Spiritual Energy lay a vast space, its expanse no smaller than the underground space Li Xiaoyao was in.

"I never expected that there would be another heaven and earth beneath this place," Li Xiaoyao secretly marveled, his thoughts having brought the entire space below into view.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyao's expression changed drastically, his gaze shifting to the column of Spiritual Energy in horror.

"This is… a Demon Beast!"

Under the scrutiny of Li Xiaoyao's mental probe, he discovered a gargantuan snake with an enormous body coiled around itself, its massive eyes tightly shut.

Even though the giant snake had not opened its eyes, the terrifying aura emanating from its body made Li Xiaoyao unconsciously hold his breath.

What on earth was this monster!

The greenish scales, shimmering like ghostly lights beneath the Spirit Stones, reflected a dazzling brilliance.

The enormous girth of the snake's body was seven or eight meters in diameter; if it were to stretch out, it likely would be thirty or forty meters long.

Such a colossal snake was unheard of and unseen by Li Xiaoyao.

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Li Xiaoyao would never have believed that such a gigantic snake could exist in this world.

After quickly regaining his composure, Li Xiaoyao realized that this giant snake seemed to be in a state of hibernation, and moreover, it had not detected his mental probe.

Li Xiaoyao went from cautiously probing at first to brazenly scrutinizing later on.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyao discovered a coffin next to the giant snake.

"Gulp," he swallowed, the results of the mental probe continuously feeding back to him, allowing Li Xiaoyao to clearly see that there was indeed a huge coffin next to the giant snake.

The coffin was made of black Agarwood. Inside, there lay a woman.

The woman was naked, her body perfect, without an ounce of excess flesh.

Li Xiaoyao's throat constricted; this woman had delicate features like that of a Fairy, especially her perfect body that made his blood surge.

Li Xiaoyao calmed himself down, puzzled in his heart.

Underneath the Spirit Stone Vein lay a giant serpent Demon Beast, and beside the beast, there was a coffin, with a woman sleeping inside, as beautiful as a fairy.

This situation was truly bizarre.
