Feng Wu carefully took down the jade box from the top shelf and gently opened it, afraid that the paper inside might be light, brittle, and thin.

If it was as fragile as pills and spirit plants, liable to turn to ash at the slightest breeze, Feng Wu would truly cry!

Fortunately, when Feng Wu opened the jade box, he found a thin stack of gold paper pressed in the center.

"Looks like this Dou Wang wasn't completely unwilling to leave behind an inheritance." Recipes written on gold paper could last for ages without decaying, naturally allowing them to be passed down through the years.

There were only a thin stack of recipes, not many. Around a dozen sheets—not too few, either.

Feng Wu carefully flipped through them. There was not a single Rank 1 recipe.

There were seven Rank 2 Pill recipes, five Third Grade pill recipes, two Fourth Grade recipes, and only one Fifth Grade pill recipe—the recipe for the Spirit-Nourishing Pill!

That was quite a considerable number!

Even if the Xiao Clan were sold, they might not be able to afford these pill formulas!

However, some of the formulas inside were rather strange. Things like the "Peak Chest Pill" and "Tiger Penis Strength Pill" were far from rare.

It made Feng Wu deeply suspect that this Dou Wang had some peculiar fetish or physical deficiency.

"Tsk, tsk, he really knew how to have fun!" Feng Wu sighed.

But one Rank 2 Pill formula caught Feng Wu's attention.

Rank 2 Pill: Overlord Hair Growth Pill!

After taking it, one could use Soul Power to guide where the medicine took effect, accelerating the growth of satisfying hair on that part of the body!

"What a benevolent healer—I'm saved!" Feng Wu was overjoyed!

As long as he refined this Rank 2 Pill, he would no longer have to fear the side effects of the cultivation technique and Dou Technique, "Flame Fire Body"!

Feng Wu had originally felt like he was almost too ashamed to face anyone!

Practical! That was Feng Wu's entire assessment of the pill formulas collected by this Dou Wang. They were fucking close to everyday life!

Putting away the formulas, Feng Wu thought that although their effects were somewhat improper, they were more than sufficient for building alchemy experience and improving his Alchemist rank and techniques.

After sweeping clean the section on the left side of the tomb chamber devoted to Alchemists, Feng Wu turned his attention to the right.

That side contained more miscellaneous equipment and such.

When Feng Wu went over for a look, most of the weapons and armor were already badly damaged.

Yet the golden-red spear standing majestically on the weapon rack immediately seized all of Feng Wu's attention!

The spear's golden-red color was not the result of rust from age!

Its shaft was forged entirely from Flame Fire Refined Gold, while its tip was made from precious Heavenly Star Meteorite Iron, tempered into a golden-fire hue and incomparably sharp!

Even the fluttering red tassel was made from Flying Fire Flowing Gold. Blood would not stain it, and rust would not corrode it!

Some of these metals, Feng Wu had only heard of. He could identify them only with the system's help.

Fire Tipped Spear: Flawless Famous Weapon!

A fire-element weapon forged for a powerhouse through exceptional craftsmanship and a vast quantity of top-grade materials, selecting the best of the best and extracting the essence of the metals.

It was also engraved with artifact array patterns that amplified strength and embedded with two Magic Crystals, one from a sixth-rank Fire Feather Sparrow and one from a sixth-rank Flame Fire Lizard!

It could greatly enhance the power of Fire Attribute Dou Qi!

"This is... a Flawless Famous Weapon!?" Feng Wu stared blankly for a moment.

"This Dou King Tomb is getting more and more interesting!" Feng Wu's eyes gleamed with excitement. "A fifth-rank Dou Wang possessing a weapon suited for a sixth-rank Dou Emperor, or even a seventh-rank Dou Zong... this person's background must have been extraordinary!"

Feng Wu approached the Fire Tipped Spear, which still emitted faint streams of golden-red light. From half a meter away, he could already feel the dense, warm Fire Attribute Dou Qi.

The moment he grabbed it and connected his Dou Qi, a powerful feeling rose within him.

"What a grand gesture, but I like it!" Feng Wu praised as he swung the Fire Tipped Spear a few times. He had always fought at close range and had never possessed a weapon suited to him.

But the instant he gripped the Fire Tipped Spear, he had a feeling: This spear had been prepared for him by fate!

Although he had only just taken up a spear and his movements were still somewhat clumsy, he could nevertheless wield it with fierce force.

"The more extraordinary this tomb's owner was, the better. The more extraordinary he was, the more I stand to gain!" Feng Wu muttered greedily as he found a barely usable inner armor piece on the weapon rack and put it on.

There was not much on the right side. Feng Wu picked out some good items and stored them away, while the rest was all junk, nothing worth his interest.

Feng Wu estimated that it was already late at night outside, time to rest.

The remaining Puppets would definitely have to wait until tomorrow, so he simply stopped exploring.

After arranging for Little Er Ha to guard the passage leading into the tomb and protect him, Feng Wu took out the Fifth Grade "Soul Nourishing Liquid" from his Storage Ring and prepared to use it.

The person most suited to use this was actually that lone wandering ghost, Yao Chen. Perhaps Feng Wu could trade it to him for some good things.

But Feng Wu believed, It's better to rely on myself than others. No matter how strong others were, it was better to possess a skill of his own.

This was more suitable for improving himself.

He did not attempt to raise the Fifth Grade Soul Nourishing Liquid to a higher grade. The cost was too high; Feng Wu would have to fall all the way back to the Dou Zhe level.

Especially for a pill with special effects like this, the upgrade experience it required was even greater.

When he unscrewed the bottle cap, Feng Wu only needed a small sniff to feel invigorated, and his soul was filled with a craving to devour it!

This was the instinct of a living soul.

Suppressing the hunger of his soul, Feng Wu took out a long jade needle, dipped it into the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle, picked up a large drop, and dabbed it onto the center of his forehead.

The instant the drop landed between his brows, it was swallowed through his pores and the Yin Tang acupoint by Feng Wu's Soul Power.

Sweat immediately poured from Feng Wu's entire body!

He could feel an intense numb itch striking directly at his soul and churning through his mind!

This was a manifestation of Soul Power rapidly increasing in a short time!

Just as some people felt especially itchy when a wound scabbed over, closed up, and grew new flesh, the growth of Soul Power followed the same principle.

Immediately afterward came unbearable soreness and pain, like the aching, numb swelling in one's muscles after suddenly engaging in intense exercise.

The effects of the Soul Nourishing Pill were exceptionally fierce!

It was fortunate that Feng Wu had been cautious and did not dare to down an entire bottle of Fifth Grade Soul Nourishing Liquid in one go.

Otherwise, it might not have endangered his life, but it would certainly have tortured him to death.

Though it was called Soul Nourishing Liquid and was indeed a pill medicine that nourished, enhanced, or repaired Soul Power,

whether it was nourishing or enhancing depended on who was taking it.

For Feng Wu, it was a potent dose of medicine!

No matter how strong Feng Wu's innate Soul Power was, it was only around the level of a Soul Master. Yet this medicinal liquid was Fifth Grade!

If he tried to become fat with one bite, he would absolutely suffer from being too weak to handle the nourishment! Suffering was unavoidable!

Couldn't one see that Feng Wu could barely remain seated now?

His whole body trembled, his brows were tightly furrowed, and cold sweat drenched him! He was almost thrown out of his meditative state!

Simple pain could be endured, but soreness, numbness, swelling, and itching were even more unbearable than certain tortures!
