The Elixir Pills took effect on Ba Wangba.

The wounds on his body healed rapidly, visibly to the naked eye.

Ba Wangba couldn't believe that Tang Rao had refined them.

An Immortal Pharmacist in the Land of Immortals is incredibly valuable, whether in the Nine Realms or the Seventy-two Domains, it's the same everywhere.

The most sly profession under the starry sky, always in demand wherever you go.

The big spider spat out an apricot; yes, you read that right—this apricot-spitting spider was showing off in front of Tang Rao and Ba Wangba.

Ba Wangba's wounds had already healed, and dealing with the big spider wasn't something he would skimp on.

"Sheng Xuan darling, what is this? I can't see through its strength; can I defeat it?"

When encountering unfamiliar things, Tang Rao needed to find Li Shengxuan.

Li Shengxuan had already achieved the rank of a Ninth-level Immortal Monarch, the most formidable existence besides the Immortal Emperor.

Having grown up in the Land of Immortals from a young age, Li Shengxuan had seen it all.

She looked at the black spider and made a mischievous face at Tang Rao: "Benefactor, this is a Snake Spider, poisonous as a snake, with the body of a spider. Its inner core is very beneficial to your cultivation; make sure not to destroy it."

Li Shengxuan explained to Tang Rao.

It turned out to be a Snake Spider, an apricot-spitting spider—Tang Rao was now indeed gaining a worldly perspective.

"This Snake Spider has the strength of a Fifth-level Immortal Monarch, but there are differences between immortal beasts and humans; immortal beasts can often fight across levels. Just like you, whether you can defeat it, I can't say for sure."

Li Shengxuan had never fought the Snake Spider, unsure of the creature's power.

But she believed in Tang Rao's strength, considering him the most formidable being under the starry sky, who would triumph no matter the opponent.

"I understand, Sheng Xuan, you're the best."

Tang Rao gave Li Shengxuan a fierce kiss, then quickly retreated from the portable palace.

"Brother Wang Ba, can you handle this or not? If you can't, I'll take care of the big spider!"

Tang Rao eyed the spider's core, knowing it was a treasure since Li Shengxuan already vouched for its quality.

Ba Wangba had been fighting with the Emperor Sect's Fifth-level Immortal Monarch for so long, despite his injuries healing, his mental scars weren't so quick to heal.

Ba Wangba hurriedly waved his hand to Tang Rao: "Brother Tang Rao, I still need to digest the Immortal Elixir. If you can handle it, I'll just watch from the side."

If Tang Rao couldn't manage, Ba Wangba would then make his move.

"Alright then, I'm on it."

Ba Wangba stayed a good distance from the big spider, while Tang Rao approached the creature, concentrating all his energy on it.

The spider spat an apricot, its pair of scarlet eyes seeming ready to devour Tang Rao whole.

"Ignorant human, daring to invade the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum, are you tired of living?"

At the moment the spider spoke, Tang Rao felt a wave of tears wanting to burst forth.

Brother! You can even talk; fortunately, I didn't say I wanted your core, otherwise you'd spit apricots to kill me in minutes!

"Brother Snake Spider, I have a pass; it's the old monks from Ten Thousand Buddha Temple who insisted I come. I told them I didn't want to, but they'd kill me if I refused. Look, I'm here, as heaven's virtue lies in mercy; please spare me."

Tang Rao was nearly wetting himself in fear, his sincerity shown through his terrifying expression.

The Snake Spider's apricot was so long it almost hit Tang Rao.

Striking among flowers and grass was fine, just don't strike him—saliva is truly disgusting, alright?

"Old thieves from the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, I knew those old thieves had ill intentions, humph!"

Tang Rao found that the Snake Spider seemed to have a grudge against Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

Could it be that the Snake Spider wasn't originally from the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum, but an external entity?

Tang Rao merely speculated, yet his intuition often proved right, even uncovering such hidden secrets.

"The old thieves of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple don't rest until they've eliminated all promising youth or seized all Immortal Emperor's Treasures, is that right?"

The anger emanated from the Snake Spider was palpable to Tang Rao.

Most surprisingly to Tang Rao was that the Snake Spider turned out to be quite perceptive.

Tang Rao, being such a clever person, only realized Ten Thousand Buddha Temple was somewhat deceitful after the fight, not imagining the Snake Spider had already sensed it.

"Lord Snake Spider, what did you mean by Ten Thousand Buddha Temple just now? I didn't want to collude with them, which is why they threw me in here; I want to get out too."

Tang Rao communicated with the Snake Spider through sound transmission.

The Snake Spider wasn't a mindless immortal beast; rather, it was so smart that it instilled despair.

The Snake Spider received Tang Rao's sound transmission.

It shook its head, retracting the long apricot, no longer confronting Tang Rao as if facing an enemy.

"The old thieves of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple open an Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum every year, did I say anything wrong?"

The Snake Spider mimicked Tang Rao, engaging in sound transmission.

Ba Wangba rested nearby, watching the peculiar exchange between Tang Rao and the Snake Spider, thinking they were confronting each other with spells.

"That's right, heard it was like this. This year, it's the Immortal Emperor Gengyu's mausoleum being opened. But what does it have to do with those old thieves from Ten Thousand Buddha Temple?"

Tang Rao sincerely sought guidance, appearing as if he, too, had great animosity towards Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

"For years, Ten Thousand Buddha Temple has relied on the excavation of mausoleums to fund the sustenance within the temple. My kind, the Snake Spiders, were enchanted by those old thieves. Each Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum houses a Snake Spider; initially sent here, our mission was to kill all living beings inside and hand over their gains to Ten Thousand Buddha Temple."

Only after those people were killed and the items handed over could the Snake Spiders be freed from captivity within the mausoleum.

The Snake Spider was enraged when it thought about this.

All excavations within the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum were dictated by Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

Did they truly have the authority to determine if a mausoleum could be excavated? Certainly not.

"And afterwards, news of your fellow kin?"

Tang Rao was somewhat curious.

"Gone; do you think if the people from Ten Thousand Buddha Temple didn't kill my kin, they could return alive to find me?"

The Snake Spider, too, was an immortal beast with flesh and blood; thinking about its siblings being slaughtered, it would vehemently oppose.

Yet it could only live within the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum for life.

After killing, handing over the items from the mausoleum, the fate awaiting the Snake Spider was identical to that of its kin.

Dead men tell no tales, hence the Snake Spider's siblings all perished!

"Brother Snake Spider, those people from Ten Thousand Buddha Temple are vile. They not only make us do hard labor but also don't pay us; I'm the first to fight back, so tell me, what should I do?"

Tang Rao patted his knee, the already whitened denim jeans seeming to fall apart in a breeze.

It appeared that not just the Snake Spider had been fooled by Ten Thousand Buddha Temple; the Snake Spider looked at Tang Rao like viewing a younger brother, its claws brushing against Tang Rao like they might scrape away his skin.

"Villains will meet their end; you only need to wait for Heavenly Destiny."
