Chapter 35 Ch 35: Treasures
"Could it be in the coffin?"
Alex hesitated for a long time before walking towards the coffin.
Normally speaking, a grave wouldn't contain a coffin even if it contained treasures. If a grave was found, the person who entered the tomb would open the coffin in order to obtain the treasures, disturbing the person who passed away from sleep. This was something that no one wanted to see.
However, this was not absolute. Some people's hearts were stubborn. Even if they died, they would bury their treasures in the same coffin.
Alex extended his hand and slowly opened the coffin's lid.
"Shua!"
All of a sudden, as the lid of the coffin was opened, a dark green fog surged out crazily from within.
Instantly, a prompt appeared in front of his eyes.
[Name: Soul Devouring Powder.
Detail: Soul Devouring Powder could devour a person's soul and kill that person in an instant!]
"Soul Devouring Powder?" Alex's face changed as he quickly retreated.
He could tell with a single glance that the person in the coffin had smeared the Soul Devouring Powder on the coffin lid before he died. If anyone opened the coffin, they would be killed by this powder.
The most terrifying thing about this powder was that even if one was tainted with it, there was nothing they could do about it. This powder seeped directly into a person's soul and could instantly kill them.
"Heh, I thought you didn't set up any killing arrays in the tomb, so you weren't an evil person. I didn't think that you would leave the Soul Devouring Powder in the coffin. Not seeing any trap, people would relax their guards and when they'll open the coffin, they'll immediately be killed by this terrifying powder!"
Alex sneered in his heart, he did not feel the slightest bit guilty about opening the coffin now.
If he had been careless just now, he would already be turned into a corpse now. A poisonous mist like the Soul Devouring Powder, forget about his current cultivation, even Golden Core Realm people would not be able to withstand it.
However, even though this poison powder was terrifying, as long as one was on guard, it would not pose any threat. After entering the air, it would quickly dissipate, unable to survive for long.
Alex wanted to duplicate the Soul Devouring Powder, unfortunately, he was not left with enough Energy Points.
Waiting until the Soul Devouring Powder had dispersed, Alex walked to the coffin again. Only now did he see the corpse inside.
Within the coffin, a middle-aged man was sleeping with his eyes closed. He didn't look like a corpse at all, but rather like he was in deep slumber.
Alex scanned the coffin and immediately found a beast skin, an ancient book, a porcelain bottle, and a pearl.
Picking up the beast skin, Alex saw that the identity of the person inside the coffin and its origin were written on the leather.
His name was Feng Yan and he came from the Imperial City of the Red Leaf Country. He was a grandmaster of formations and his strength had reached the Golden Core Realm.
Around 10 years ago, Feng Yan requested for people to refine a medicine but the ingredients were hard to find. After searching a few times but to no avail, he heard that there were likely to be medicinal ingredients he needed in the Dark Mountain Range, thus he found this place.
Unfortunately, his luck was bad. When he found that medicinal herb, he also found that there was a Demonic Beast guarding it.
The strength of the Demonic Beast was already comparable to a Level 9 Golden Core Realm martial warrior. Although Feng Yan was a Golden Core Realm martial warrior, he was only strong in formation, his combat power was not strong enough.
After a few battles, although Feng Yan had successfully killed the Demonic Beast using the formation, he himself was also poisoned badly.
Knowing that he could not live long enough to return to the Imperial City, Feng Yan found himself a piece of Graveyard at Dark Mountain Range. It was precisely at this place right now, where, due to the lack of time, the tomb had been arranged in a hurry.
"If anyone saw this, I believe that the coffin had already opened. The few treasures I had before my death were all kept inside as a gift to the newcomer. I hope he would not touch my corpse and let me rest peacefully."
The beast skin wrote this in the last paragraph, but Alex was disdainful.
If he had not carefully avoided the Soul Devouring Powder at the end, he would have already turned into a corpse. It could be said that Feng Yan had used sinister methods to avoid being taken care of by others.
To think that he had actually left behind such a request. If it was someone else, it would be possible to whip the corpse a few hundred times.
Picking up a few items from the coffin, he realized that the pearl was the core of the Golden Core Realm demonic beast.
Alex kept the Demon Core and then looked at the other items.
In that ancient book, there was actually a set of sword art called "Falling Leaf Sword Arts". This set of sword art was extremely nimble and nimble like a fallen leaf in the wind.
Alex had no interest in learning this sword art. If he wants he could directly duplicate a sword art from someone. At that time, not only could he learn the sword art, he could also master it in an instant.
Alex shook his head and kept the sword art in his spatial ring. Then he looked at the last item.
The last porcelain bottle contained ten Pills.
[Name: Origin Recovery Pill.
Detail: Origin Recovery Pill could recover a warrior's spirit energy in a short amount of time and could also heal external wounds.]
With Alex's current cultivation, it could be said that as long as he does not receive any life-threatening or internal injuries, consuming this kind of Pills would allow him to quickly recover.
After putting away the things, Alex did not plan to touch the corpse inside the coffin and turned to leave.
Just as he took two steps forward, Alex stopped in his tracks once again.
"That's not right!"
Alex suddenly thought of something, although the three items that Feng Yan had left behind were extremely valuable, as a Formation Grandmaster, what was the most important thing to him? This was without a doubt his Formation Dao.
