Zhou Madman wore a face of shock, thinking that Liu Zixuan was surely doomed this time.

Even if he didn't get trampled to death by the strange beast, he'd surely die from exhaustion!

But never did he imagine that Liu Zixuan would actually kill it!

The strange beast before them was motionless, covered in black liquid, completely devoid of the terrifying demeanor from moments ago!

Looking at Liu Zixuan in surprise, "How...how did you do it?"

"You left young master here and ran, and you want me to tell you how I did it?" Liu Zixuan grabbed Zhou Madman's collar, "For a deserter like you, I should punch you against the wall so hard you can't be pulled off!"

Zhou Madman paused, "No...you can't do that, I'm your father-in-law!"

"My ass! If you were really my father-in-law, would you run off and leave me?" Liu Zixuan cursed.

Zhou Madman immediately showed an innocent expression, "I was just afraid of causing you trouble!"

"I'm tired of your nonsense!" Liu Zixuan rolled his eyes at him, then said, "I know where the tomb owner's coffin is."

"Where is it?" Zhou Madman was instantly interested!

Liu Zixuan pointed with a wave of his hand, "Inside that round thing, you go fetch it."

"Me?"

"Don't worry, it won't be dangerous."

"So you want me to get the coffin, what are you going to do?" Zhou Madman was not one to lose out!

Liu Zixuan glared at him impatiently, "I haven't fully figured out what's inside the statue, I need to smash it open to take a good look!"

Zhou Madman looked at the massive statue, then at Liu Zixuan, "Alright, I'll be the laborer this time!"

As Zhou Madman went to find the tomb owner's coffin, Liu Zixuan slowly approached the gigantic statue.

Of course, there was still one thing he hadn't done—he hadn't figured out how the strange beast was constructed. But as the beast was covered in black liquid, it was inconvenient to work on it right now. He'd have to wait a moment until the black liquid drained before proceeding.

During this time, he had to thoroughly examine what was inside the statue!

Liu Zixuan went to the right side of the burial chamber and took out some powerful weapons, walked around the statue a couple of times, then swung the weapon in his hand at it.

Bang!

Bang!

Being an ancient artifact, no matter how sturdy it was originally, it couldn't withstand the erosion of hundreds or thousands of years. In about five to six minutes, Liu Zixuan had smashed the statue open.

Crash!

Suddenly, a pool of clear water gushed out, covering the ground! It was then that he saw, beneath the clear water, a Lotus Platform.

The entire Lotus Platform was made of stone, exquisitely crafted, except for the color, it resembled a real lotus flower in every other way!

Importantly, the Lotus Platform was intricately carved with some figures, depicting the palaces Liu Zixuan had just seen as well as the people surrounding them!

Liu Zixuan grinned, "So that's what's going on, the images on top are refracted through the water, creating a 3D effect on the surface! Thought it was something rare!"

But the fact that ancient people could conceive this demonstrates their wisdom and craftsmanship far exceeded that of modern people. You have to admire them!

Although such an object is not particularly rare, just the ability to reflect such vivid scenes makes it extraordinary, and it would certainly fetch a high price!

Liu Zixuan laughed, "Bringing it back for Doudou to play with wouldn't be bad either!"

As he spoke, he moved forward to try and remove the entire Lotus Platform, but just as he approached, a note suddenly floated down from the side.

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing what it might be!

He remembered the time in Lingxiu Village when his beautiful master left a note, this was probably another one!

Putting the Lotus Platform aside, he slowly opened the note.

"Long time no see, have you missed me, little Zixuan?"

Seeing this, Liu Zixuan couldn't help but chuckle, these words could only belong to his beautiful master!

"Congratulations on finding the second Seven-Star Tomb. Rest assured, I haven't taken anything from this tomb; it's all yours. Besides the Ghost Gate Needle, there's another treasure here, called the Soul Condensing Pearl."

"I guess I don't need to explain the effects of the Soul Condensing Pearl, right? Anyone in the world would kill for such a treasure; you'd better enjoy your luck in getting it. Hurry up and search for the remaining Ghost Gate Needles and Seven-Star Tomb."

Liu Zixuan smirked, he clearly underestimated his beautiful master before. All this while, it seemed his master had been watching over him.

Yet he never noticed her presence, such a hiding ability, Liu Zixuan admitted he couldn't do!

"Hurry up and become strong, perhaps...in the future, you might be able to help me."

This was the end of the note, finished with a sign-off: Kisses, I'm your most beautiful master!

Liu Zixuan tucked the note into his pocket, lightly raising an eyebrow, what did his beautiful master mean by her last words? Becoming strong? Could it be that his master was facing some difficulty?

However, he also realized this was not the time to explore that!

"Liu Zixuan, come over and help, we've struck gold this time!"

At this moment, Zhou Madman's words interrupted Liu Zixuan's thoughts.

Liu Zixuan turned to look, Zhou Madman had already smashed open the round object, and countless streams of Vitality Water came gushing out, followed by a large red coffin slowly emerging.

Liu Zixuan got up and went over, helping Zhou Madman lift the coffin out and place it on the ground.

Zhou Madman stroked the coffin, then carefully examined it, bursting into laughter, "This isn't a coffin, it's a sarcophagus. The ancients said, 'The poor had neither coffin nor sarcophagus, scholars had wooden coffins without sarcophagi, but emperors and high officials had both!'"

"Now, the outside is a sarcophagus, inside there's certainly a coffin, meaning the person lying inside must be someone of imperial or high status from a certain dynasty."

"Open it and see!" Liu Zixuan was not too interested in these, inside would just be a pile of bones!

Zhou Madman nodded, began to feel around beside the sarcophagus, saying: "Normal sarcophagi are a single piece; you need to trigger the mechanism to open it, force cannot be used!"

Click!

In no time, a crisp sound came from the sarcophagus, and soon the red sarcophagus outside began to slowly move by itself, and the lid opened!

Just as Zhou Madman said, there was indeed a coffin inside.

"Hiss!"

Zhou Madman saw the coffin, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth corners, "It's made of Yin Wood! This material doesn't rot for a thousand years, just this single coffin would fetch a minimum of tens of millions! Meaning, there must be other treasures inside this coffin!"
