C50 Coffin

It was said that the Taihang Mountains had existed for tens of thousands of years. The dynasty had changed, the clan had replaced, but the Taihang Mountains had always stood here. Many of the towering trees here were thousands of years old.

Qin Shaojie carefully traveled through the Taihang Mountains. Right now, he was only at the ninth layer of Body Tempering, so ordinary wild beasts were not even the slightest bit of a threat to him. However, within this mountain range, Qin Shaojie was certain that there was definitely some refined beast.

Magical beasts absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, and formed by absorbing the profound energy of heaven and earth. They were so powerful that even warriors would not dare to provoke them easily. Some powerful magical beasts were said to be so powerful that even supreme humans had to temporarily avoid them.

Qin Shaojie restrained his aura as much as possible and continuously shuttled through the Taihang Mountains. He was extremely careful, and even rarely made any sound when he moved.

And within a canyon, Qin Shaojie finally stopped.

This place was tens of miles away from the outside world, and along the way, he had completely tensed up. After all, if someone followed him, it would be troublesome. At this moment, he was sure that no one was following him.

After finding a flat piece of land, Qin Shaojie took out the sarcophagus that was auctioned off during the Exquisite Auction out of his spatial ring. At this moment, he carefully sized up the sarcophagus. It was as if a sword had hacked through it, and the varying depths of the stone sarcophagus' surface seemed to cover every corner. He was simply unable to find a flat area on top of the sarcophagus.

Qin Shaojie had only seen this sarcophagus once, but he had never seen it again. He tried very hard to recall the appearance, but it was too long ago, so he could not really remember it clearly.

After a long while, Qin Shaojie finally confirmed that this sarcophagus was definitely the treasure that he had seen before.

This was because the various depth lines that had been chopped down were not randomly scattered, but instead changed according to a certain pattern. If one imagined it as a three-dimensional space, the lines that had been cut through were clearly able to piece together a picture.

It was rumored that this object was born at the same age of death. No one knew how long it had existed for, but it was actually one of the Tian Yuan Continent's ten divine artifacts. Unfortunately, since ancient times, no one had been able to truly activate it.

Xiao Yan's hand gently touched the top of the stone coffin. He sensed the ancient aura that was being transmitted from within, much like that of a slumbering tiger lion. Although it looked extremely ordinary, when it approached, it seemed to have a feeling that it was pulling a person's spirit.

As for whether it was a treasure or not, he would give it a try and find out.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Shaojie's expression became serious as well. It was not difficult to guess whether or not this was the treasure of the primordial divine tool, but if it was not that treasure, then it was not only a question of disappointing Qin Shaojie, but more importantly, it was a question of how to retrieve the corpse within it.

After all, with Qin Shaojie's current strength, he was simply unable to open the coffin. It must be known that a total of four practitioners with Peak of Genuine Force were unable to do so.

Slowly walking to the front of the sarcophagus, Qin Shaojie bit his own finger a bit, and then smeared the blood on his ten fingers. After that, he clasped his hands together and began to form a very rough seal.

Even though it looked rather raw and unnatural, its techniques were extremely quick. Even some strong people may not be able to see the complicated changes that was happening to Qin Shaojie's ten fingers.

Of course, even if one was able to see it clearly, it would be impossible for one to learn it in a short period of time, much less understand what kind of seal it was. But if some big shots from the sects were here, they would be shocked. Qin Shaojie's method of forming seals was different from his current method, it was more complicated. Moreover, this kind of seal did not contain any profound energy, but the blood that covered it seemed as though it was supported by the profound energy of heaven and earth.

After ten breaths, the blood that was originally on the tip of his finger had actually turned into a drop of blood. This drop of blood was no longer a scarlet red. Mixed within it was a noble golden color that looked quite strange. This slightly golden colored drop of blood floated between Qin Shaojie's hands, and did not directly fall down.

At this time, Qin Shaojie's face had also become somewhat pale, and even his breathing had become disorderly.

This is a long-lost ancient seal technique. Not many people in the Tian Yuan Continent know of it, and no one in the Great Yan Empire would be able to recognize it." However, this sealing technique consumed quite a bit of energy. Currently, Qin Shaojie was still at the Body Tempering realm, so this kind of sealing technique was quite difficult to do.

If it was repeated times in a row, it was obviously impossible for him to endure the exhaustion of this kind of energy.

Slowly exhaling a breath, he looked at the drop of blood floating in his palms. Qin Shaojie closed his eyes, and also felt the mysterious relationship between him and the drop of blood.

Following that, Qin Shaojie activated the drop of golden colored blood and dripped it onto the center of the coffin's lid.

Drip! Drip!

Without any deviation, his blood dripped onto the coffin's lid at the center.

His fresh blood dripped down and submerged into the coffin lid just like how it was for Qin Shaojie. Seeing that, Qin Shaojie did not hesitate, he sat cross legged, closed his eyes and continued to instigate his weak Spirit Qi.

The blood drop had a very subtle connection with Qin Shaojie, and the person who activated it was able to make Qin Shaojie feel the change that happened to the blood drop inside the coffin. Along with the flow of time, Qin Shaojie also started to feel extremely nervous, to the point where even his breathing had become a little hurried.

This was because he could clearly feel that this drop of blood did not receive any rejection from the coffin. Not long after, it began to spread, gradually merging with the entire coffin. Under this sort of fusion, his ability to sense and control the blood droplets gradually evolved into his ability to sense and control the coffin.

This was the magic of the ancient seal technique. Unfortunately, this method had been lost since long ago, except for a limited number of people.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Finally, when Qin Shaojie felt that he could truly control the coffin, his mind moved, and attempted to move the coffin's lid. As expected, a series of sizzling sounds resounded, and then, he saw that the coffin's lid, which had not moved at all before, was actually moving. Although it was extremely slow, it was still quite impressive when even the four Peak of Genuine Force s were unable to move it.

This kind of movement obviously consumed a large amount of Qin Shaojie's energy. A lot of sweat had already seeped out from his forehead, and his originally somewhat pale face had become even more weary and tired. But even so, Qin Shaojie's face gradually revealed a hint of excitement.

The fact that he was able to control the coffin with the Ancient Seal not only showed that no one had left a mark on the coffin previously, but also proved that even if Qin Shaojie knew about the seal, it would be impossible for him to break the seal on the coffin without being able to do anything. Secondly, it also meant that this ancient sealing technique had a true effect on this sarcophagus.

Although he still could not prove that this was the coffin he had seen before, at the very least, he could move the lid of the coffin to the corpse of the Black Scorpion Man inside.

The reason why Qin Shaojie had bid for the four hundred and fifty thousand corpses without batting an eye was because of the black scales and bones. He had told Wen Ya a few secrets about the corpse of the Black Carp, such as finding information on its body to obtain the huge amount of wealth stored within it before death. However, Qin Shaojie had yet to tell Wen Ya the most important thing, and that was that the corpse of the Black Carp was extremely tough, if used, it could definitely be refined into a half corpse!

Once it was successfully refined, even Three Spiritual Realms would not be able to break through its defense, and it was even enough for him to fight with an expert of Earth Origin Stage. This level of value was far beyond what gold coins could measure.

If it was in the past, Qin Shaojie would naturally look down on Black Scorpion Man s who were comparable to Earth Origin Stage, but the situation was different now. With such a treasure by his side, Qin Shaojie did not have to worry too much inside the Great Yan Dynasty.

Of course, if it was another person, they might not be able to truly refine it, but Qin Shaojie was someone else. He had a lot of methods up his sleeves, and sometimes, even thinking about it himself felt somewhat terrifying.

It was precisely because of this that Qin Shaojie had directly taken the Black Scorpion Man's corpse for his own. Otherwise, why would he want Qin Mai's things?

Rumble rumble rumble!

Finally, the lid was lifted, and it directly fell down, as it let out a rumbling sound. Qin Shaojie also quietly opened his eyes.

He stood up and walked over to the coffin that had fallen to the ground. He then bit the tip of his tongue and spat the blood from his mouth where the drop of blood had fallen.

He did not care about the pain from biting his tongue at all, as his eyes were tightly staring at that place. As the blood was gradually absorbed by the surface of the coffin, Qin Shaojie also became exceptionally nervous and entered the room …

If this was a treasure, then it would definitely be branded by him and it would be able to completely establish a subordinate relationship with him. However, if this was only a strong and heavy coffin, then the blood that was swallowed by the coffin would not have any changes to it.
