You at the Same Table

As night deepened, in the desolate wilderness, Yellow Weasel, White Hedgehog, Golden Pangolin, and other strange creatures mingled and drank, creating a chaotic scene reminiscent of demons dancing wildly.

Sitting at the same table as a dog was an experience Qin Ming had never had before in his life; this treatment was truly unique!

This Old Dog has Black and White and white fur that meets on its head, forming an irregular Yang Fish in front of its brow. It looks quite appealing.

However, those dog-like eyes were practically slanted to the top of his head. He sat there with an air of superiority, and his gaze and arrogant demeanor were rather irritating.

Qin Ming thought to himself, "This is blatant disrespect. It's not just this Yin Yang Dog in front of me; even the higher-ups of the Earth Immortal don't care about me. Otherwise, why would I be seated at the same table as a dog?"

Yin Yang Dog slurped down a cup of wine, glanced sideways at Qin Ming, and sized him up, saying, "Upright Ape-Man. So rare, a real rarity."

At this moment, Qin Ming was thinking of turning it into a dog meat hot pot.

The Yin Yang Dog started putting on airs, saying, "So clueless! Don't you know how to pour me some wine?"

Qin Ming never imagined that one day he would be looked down upon and targeted by a dog.

At the next table, a strange creature with a fox-like face and a human body leaned over and said, "Brother Demon Ape, this is Grandpa Dog. He has a keen sense of smell and can detect life and death. The Grandmaster made you work for him, which is clearly a favor to a newcomer like you. Others wouldn't even have the chance to get close to him."

The Yin Yang Dog, with a swagger, took out a tattered straw hat and handed it to Qin Ming, saying, "Give me thirty percent of your reward, and I'll guarantee your safety."

Qin Ming was about to explode, but when he saw the straw hat, he became suspicious. Old Dog, and he liked to wear straw hats, why did this look so familiar?

Moreover, its fur is divided into two colors, yin and yang.

Could it be the Dog Sword Immortal from Black White Mountain in person? He made a wild guess, but upon closer inspection, it was impossible. How could the Panda Beast God possibly come here? It didn't make sense.

Moreover, their auras are completely incomparable.

Just to be on the safe side, he still asked, "Are you a bear?"

He stopped short of calling out the full name.

"What kind of look is that?" the Yin Yang Dog said, displeased.

"Are you... a cat?" Qin Ming asked again. He had changed his appearance now, and he was afraid that if the Old Panda himself had come, he would be making a fool of himself. He was still conducting a final test.

"I'm your grandpa!" Yin Yang Dog's face darkened.

At the same time, with a sharp crack, a large hand swept through the thin night mist, making a crisp sound.

With a crash, the Yin-Yang Old Dog fell over, shattering the Night-Glow Cup and spilling wine all over the ground.

Qin Ming didn't join this team to be bullied. Since he wasn't Dog Sword Immortal, where did he get the audacity to put on airs and give him attitude?

"What are you doing?" someone shouted from the side.

Qin Ming then revealed a hint of Master- level aura and said, "A mere Old Dog in the Fourth Realm dares to ask me for a toast and even tries to extort money from me. Where do you get the guts?"

He appears to be around thirty years old, with a slightly weathered look, and is disguised as a wandering Master-level.

Even if he were to go undercover to excavate and salvage the legacy of ancient civilizations, he would not stoop to joining as Master.

Otherwise, he figured that with his Fourth Realm status, he would inevitably be assigned all sorts of dirty and tiring work, and would soon be used as cannon fodder.

The leader of the Earth Immortal, a Grandmaster with a bird's head and a human body named Qi Teng, personally approached and said, "Brother, you've misunderstood. We didn't mean to underestimate you. This Old Dog is your follower; he has a keen sense of smell. You've only just joined and don't have much experience, so let him assist you."

"It's nothing." Qin Ming stood up and nodded reservedly.

As a Master-level member, he is highly regarded in the team. Previously, only the leader knew his level of skill, but now everyone else is paying close attention to him.

"Hiss!" Qin Ming almost gasped, because at this moment he resonated with the Old Dog's feelings.

Old Dog's heart, which had been as calm as still water, was now in turmoil. "I, a Master of my generation, Traveler Civilization, yet I've been defeated by a mere Demon Ape brat! This is intolerable! Sigh, well, it's not wise to expose myself too early while I'm in this group."

Qin Ming never expected that his Old Dog at the same table was actually Master. He hadn't realized it before. Yin Yang Dog either had a special Secret Method or was carrying a rare treasure to conceal his aura.

It turned out to be an "undercover agent," a pawn of the Traveler Civilization, providing information to the larger organization behind it.

Qin Ming had dealt with that civilized person and even killed a "Saint Traveler." In fact, Pei Shuyan became Pei Gong because he encountered people from this Supreme Dao Field.

The Traveler Civilization even wanted to feed on the Undying Blood Calamity in hopes of conducting in-depth research, demonstrating their obsession with immortality. It's not surprising that they sent out some pawns, hoping to use this opportunity to their advantage and participate in the exploration of the Longevity Tomb.

Yin Yang Dog was quick to accept defeat and humbled himself, saying, "This Old Dog was rash. I didn't know Master was in person. It was a misunderstanding. I'm willing to apologize with wine."

Grandmaster Qi Teng patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said, "This Old Dog has the best survival skills. In the past half month, many people have had accidents while exploring underground, but it has always come back safely. Brother, don't say I didn't take care of you."

Then, he emphasized Qin Ming, saying, "This is Supreme Good Grandmaster, whose Daoist arts are profound. You all need to keep your eyes peeled. If there is any danger underground, the Master can save your lives. Hmm, come, let's all raise a glass and drink to our success in harvesting this rare and precious Great Medicine."

With him smoothing things over, the matter was naturally dropped.

Qi Teng arranged a new table for Qin Ming, who was accompanied by a woman with a full head of blonde hair and a pair of snow-white wings on her back. Her temperament was extraordinary and somewhat sacred.

Moreover, this blonde, silver-winged woman was a Master of the Fifth Realm.

"Goodness." Qin Ming had just finished talking to her and clinked glasses when he realized that she was also someone sent over by other major organizations.

What's going on here? Is this area special? More than one major force is involved; why are so many parties trying to get involved?

These Earth Immortal have been thoroughly infiltrated.

However, after careful consideration, Qin Ming also had some doubts. Perhaps these Earth Immortal knew everything and that there were outsiders mixed in, so they might as well make use of them.

After all, they're seasoned grave diggers; what situation haven't they encountered?

The blonde, silver-winged woman is named Jin Mei, and her true origins lie with the Rebirth Figurine Organization.

If there truly is Longevity Tomb here, it would be perfectly normal for the people who Rebirth Figurine" to participate.

The purpose of this organization is to explore the secret of immortality, and it has been sending its core members to excavate the secrets of longevity underground for many years.

After Jin Mei and Qin Ming sat at the same table, the atmosphere immediately improved. Both of them were Master, so there was no conflict between them, and they had a very pleasant conversation.

"The Rebirth Figurine Organization and the Traveler Civilization have both gotten involved, making the situation somewhat complicated," Qin Ming pondered to himself.

At the same time, he also learned the true background of this group of Earth Immortal.

Qi Teng, the leader with a bird's head and a human body, has a huge organization behind him with a simple name: Eternal Presence.

This was the first time Qin Ming had heard of this powerful force, one that was comparable to the Rebirth Figurine.

Their style is relatively simple and low-key. The masters in the dojo like to walk in the Underground World and under the cover of night, just to explore the secret of immortality so that they can Eternal Presence for a long time.

The group of Earth Immortal led by Qi Teng were merely peripheral members of their group.

The core members of the Dwelling in the World Organization are exploring distant mountains and rivers.

It is rumored that there is a hidden Ancestral Dragon Meridian there.

This aligns with the information provided by Qian Cheng; according to the organization's usual practice, they would arrange for non-core members to sweep through the surrounding area.

Qin Ming was slightly startled. "This is quite astonishing; even the non-direct descendants are led by Grandmaster."

This time, their main force is probably composed of Earth Immortal.

In this era, even the Ancestor dared not easily leave their seclusion. When the Earth Immortal went down into the great tomb, if they encountered danger, they would have to take action and would need to maintain their state with Primordial Qi and Wondrous Yellow Qi.

Large organizations simply cannot withstand this kind of drain.

Jin Mei reminded him, "Brother Zhishan, please be careful during tomorrow's exploration. We've lost quite a few men in the last two days, and we've reached the most critical point in this area."

Qin Ming inquired, "Aren't we peripheral members? Can we really expect to make a big profit in this area?"

Jin Mei said, "If the main force from afar is indeed investigating the Great Longevity Tomb, then the surrounding area may also contain Great Fortune. There is no ordinary land next to a top-tier Dragon Cavern."

She lowered her voice and said, "There might even be surprises, and shocks."

Qin Ming humbly inquired, "Ah, what's going on? Fellow Daoist Jin, please explain."

Jin Mei secretly responded, saying, "Supreme Experts is deliberately creating a diversion, and their true resting place is here—that would be terrifying."

The next day, Qin Ming set off with the group and entered a place where the fog was particularly thick.

Grandmaster Qi Teng spoke up, "We've traversed this entire region, and now, having advanced this far, I feel we're almost at the point of uncovering a true treasure. Success is within our grasp."

Qin Ming was surprised. This area was beyond what he and the president had detected. They had crossed to the vicinity, only a hundred miles away, yet they had just passed by. It seemed that the group of Earth Immortal from the Dwelling in the World Organization were quite capable.

That's understandable.

He and the chairman made a spur-of-the-moment decision and hurriedly flew by.

This group of people had arrived long ago and had been searching for at least half a month; this was the result of a thorough search.

"There's something fishy about this fog," an old Master remarked.

Another Master nodded and said, "Yes, it can lock down the energy here."

An experienced Earth Immortal, his eyes Divine Radiance with excitement, said, "Moreover, I sense this place is quite extraordinary; we might actually have unearthed something incredible."

Qi Teng raised his head and said, "Great! I hope for a big harvest."

He waved his hand and said, "Four teams, enter from different directions. If you find any Great Medicine, I will not hesitate to share it equally with everyone. In fact, I will even let you brothers make a copy of the inheritance in the tomb."

He boosted morale and let people enter the arena.

Qin Ming's team consisted of 28 people, the weakest of whom was at the Early Fourth Realm, and was led by a Mid-Master Realm Earth Immortal.

The team consisted of five Master: Qin Ming, Scar-faced Black Fox, Jin Mei, White Hedgehog, and the Earth Immortal - Golden Pangolin.

Of course, Yin Yang Old Dog concealed his cultivation level; otherwise, he would be a sixth-level Master.

It must be said that some races are born to do this job; the Golden Pangolin moves freely underground and in the mountains, able to quickly clear a path.

The White Hedgehog said, "Deep in the fog, there's actually a grand canyon. That's interesting. It seems to be a Super Meteorite Crater."

The Golden Pangolin nodded and said, "That's right, I have a feeling we might dig up a big one this time." Everyone should be careful.

According to the theories of this Earth Immortal, Super Meteorite Crater may carry Beyond Heaven Longevity Substance, making them a resting place highly favored by ancient powerful beings.

The Yin Yang Dog sniffed and said, "Hmm, I smell a wisp of immortality!"

The Scar-faced Black Fox said, "You Old Dog of the Fourth Realm, do you even know what the taste of immortality is?"

The Yin Yang Dog said, "Isn't this something we do all the time, like going down into tombs? That's how we identify tombs by their scent."

Based on ancestral experience, it believed that there must be a large tomb in this place, which might involve the ancient Supreme Experts who pursued immortality.

Ahead lay a massive black pit, like an Abyss. Not only was the bottom unfathomably deep, but the other side was also endless.

The Earth Immortal Pangolin nodded and said, "Hmm, Old Dog has some skills. This place is indeed extraordinary. I even smelled the special scent of Dragon Qi."

Qin Ming was surprised. The fact that Old Dog from the Traveler Civilization and the Earth Immortal from the Dwelling in the World Organization held this view indicated that there was likely something "strange" going on here.

Then, he secretly activated his Silk Book Method and immediately felt his body light and agile, as if he had the Divine Substance he needed.

Undoubtedly, after his verification, this place may hold significant archaeological discoveries!

Led by several Master, the group of about twenty people quickly climbed to the bottom of the meteorite crater. It was magnificent, but the terrain was complex, with many large cracks leading to the underground.

Pangolin said, "The other three teams should already be in action. Let's go underground too."

It must be said that the area beneath the super sinkhole is extremely dark; only spiritual perception can allow one to find their way, and those with insufficient spiritual cultivation will lose the ability to see.

Master Jin Mei exclaimed in surprise, "How come there are so many small holes deep underground, densely packed like a honeycomb?"

After venturing deep underground along the large fissure, they discovered something unusual: the normally hard Diamond rock had numerous holes, ranging in size from a fist to an adult's thigh.

The hedgehog, suspicious, said, "Hiss, could this be something left behind?"

The Yin Yang Dog sniffed around, as if pondering something.

The Pangolin's expression turned serious. "Could this be the legendary cave left behind by the Dragon Silkworm?"

"What level of archer spirit is the Dragon Silkworm?" Qin Ming asked.

The Pangolin said, "It belongs to the category of rare insects, and its ranking is uncertain. Like the Yang insect and the Moon Insect, its lower limit is very high, and its upper limit is unpredictable. It can evolve to an extremely high level."

This is a kind of spirit silkworm that feeds on Dragon Qi. As it evolves, it will become more and more like Chi Dragon.

Most importantly, they appear in swarms, unlike Dream Insect and Time Worm which walk alone and would have unimaginable consequences if they were overwhelmed by swarms underground.

The Scar-faced Black Fox said, "Such a large hole, if left by Dragon Silkworm, means they have grown to a terrifying size."

The hedgehog said, "If it's only Dragon Silkworm, there's nothing to fear; they can't stray too far from the source of Dragon Qi."

Qin Ming discovered that he could indeed locate the Chang Kui Tomb with the help of a special Cultivation Method, but his knowledge of the specific details of this field was still far from sufficient.

Jin Mei piloted the boat. "I've heard that Dragon Silkworm are extremely rare, and where there are Dragon Silkworm, there must be Super Dragon Meridian. This place—far beyond our expectations—is where Li Long Tomb is!"

She knows a lot about Li, after all, she was arranged by the organization to work on archaeology, and her real archaeological skills are very high.

The tomb of the longbow, with its three inscriptions weighing over ten thousand jun, even though the earth immortals present were experienced, Li Du was uncertain and somewhat fearful.

"We approached cautiously, knowing that this might be the tomb of an ancient Supreme Experts. Not to mention anything else, the outer area alone might contain unparalleled Strange Medicine."

"There may be Dragon Medicine within the Super Dragon Meridian!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present's eyes lit up.

"Besides, there aren't many opportunities in this field. And the Long Tomb is a legendary place; even if a team of Earth Immortal were to expend all their energy, Li might not be able to find it. It seems that all our luck in this life is concentrated on this moment; if we miss it, we will regret it for the rest of our lives."

Regardless of their origins, the group was already eager to seize their own fortune in the outer area of the Longbow Tomb of the Super Dragon Meridian.

The Pangolin said, "Yes, be careful. As long as you don't get greedy, you can get away unscathed."

The Yin Yang Dog said, "Judging from this place, it has existed for a very long time, and the Dragon Qi has probably been almost completely depleted. The Dragon Silkworm is extremely weak, perhaps even on the verge of death. If that's the case, then the opportunity is Da Xiang!"

"The Dragon Silkworm itself is Strange Medicine!"

A group of brothers who understand many things.

Only Qin Ming, with his large, clear eyes like water, could only listen quietly in front of the group of Earth Immortal.

A group of people sprang into action and continued their exploration deeper into the earth.

The underground mine tunnels are like a spider web, with intersecting vertical crystals and extremely complex pathways.

In particular, seeing the small hole left by the Dragon Silkworm made Kuang even more nervous, and his face became solemn.

"The Beyond Heaven meteorite contains a vast amount of vital energy, and even a low-level Dragon Qi. It truly possesses the power to create heaven and earth, and must be the most ideal final resting place for any powerful being."

"Hmm, whether it's Dragon Qi or Divine Substance leaked from Outer Domain meteorite, it's almost dried up. I reckon there might be a much bigger harvest than expected."

Although they were uneasy, they still said the good things to encourage the team and boost morale.

Qin Ming followed them for the time being. His side had the guild leader, Two Figurines, and Little Worm, whose strength far surpassed theirs. If they dared to venture into such situations, what did he have to fear?

Half an hour later, they had traveled an unknown distance, navigating through a maze-like underground, and following a spiderweb-like path to an open space.

There are faintly glowing remains of bones here.

"Those are the remains of Peak Earth Immortal!" the Pangolin said solemnly.

"Perhaps his cultivation is even higher!" said the Scar-faced Black Fox.

They went over there and found only some glowing bones, all cracked.

Jin Mei said, "Before he died, he destroyed his own body to avoid falling into the hands of the Later Generations and being refined into Law Artifact. Even so, he is still faintly glowing. It's incredible."

Qin Ming observed, but sadly, the remains only conveyed one emotion, a deep and heavy one, filled with reluctance. "Master, I can no longer guard your tomb."

"Look, there are still bones here; the destruction was even more complete."

"They are the tomb guardians!"

In an instant, everyone felt their hair stand on end. Even the high-ranking tomb guardian was a top-tier Earth Immortal? Just who was this ancient guardian? Brother Xiang, you're terrifying!

The Yin Yang Dog said, "Look, there are warning signs here, seemingly telling intruders to back off and not to approach."

In addition, there is a carving, as lifelike as a bow, depicting a motley Chi Dragon, accompanied by magnificent clouds, supporting a large tomb.

"This... even the Dragon Silkworm is guarding his tomb?"

"Aren't Dragon Silkworm supposed to feed on Dragon Qi? They should be harmful to the location of the tomb, not able to coexist peacefully."

"This is truly unheard of!"

The sight of this place sent chills down my spine; it was beyond Xiang Tuxian's comprehension.

Qi the hedgehog said, "Looking at these bones and stone carvings, they probably date back several thousand years."

All I can say is that this group has extensive experience in the industry.

"Look, here's a piece of skin shed by Dragon Silkworm. It hasn't been there long, and it proves the Dragon Silkworm is still alive!"

"What does this mean? It's not as simple as Super Dragon Meridian. Thousands of years have passed, and the Dragon Qi hasn't been completely exhausted. That's terrifying!"

Normally speaking, a dragon Dragon Veins that can nurture Dragon Silkworm for a thousand years is already extremely rare.

The Pangolin said, "This might be the legendary Ancestral Dragon Meridian, and the great tomb is in the Ancestral Dragon Lair!"

Qin Ming was not someone who had entered this field, so he had no sense of awe and listened with great interest.

However, those present felt their scalps tingle and their hair stand on end.

The Pangolin said, "To bury oneself in the Ancestral Dragon Lair, even in the outer area of the great tomb, is not a place we can access. My family's ancestral teachings forbid that in such a situation, there are only two words: retreat!"

The Yin Yang Dog grew anxious and said, "We have to leave."

They came with excitement and left in fear.

Qin Ming had no objections and followed suit, crossing the water in one leap to the surface.

They discovered that of the four teams, only they had returned; the others had vanished without a trace.

However, Grandmaster Qi Teng and the others, looking down from below, asked with their bird-like heads raised, "Have you discovered anything surprising?"

"Wanlong is carrying a grave—" the Pangolin quickly reported.

"This is an incredible place!" Qi Teng's expression changed, and a Divine Radiance flashed in the depths of his eyes. He was very tempted.

Ordinary Master can't even get close to such places, but he is Grandmaster and might be able to venture there. If he were to pick the immortal Immortal Medicine, even if he were old and frail, he could quickly break through to become Ancestor.

Qi Teng piloted the boat. "My master Zheng and his gang are almost here. Once they arrive, I'll go with them to investigate and then report back to the higher-ups."

Without a doubt, his desires outweighed his fears.

There are two groups of non-main force members, both led by Grandmaster.

In less than half a day, the group arrived at the site.

During this process, the other three teams under Qi Teng's command disappeared without a trace, vanishing deep underground.

Not long after, the two Grandmaster personally went inside.

However, they disappeared without a trace, never to return.

A group approached from afar, and Yin Yang Dog immediately became excited. It was the Traveler Civilization, and His Your Highness, who was following behind the Dwelling in the World Organization, had personally come over.

"Kid, you slapped me, didn't you? If you don't want to die, hurry up and Grandpa Dog— " it said, slapping Qin Ming across the face.

What does it mean to be a dog relying on its power? The current Yin Yang Dog perfectly exemplifies this.

With a slap, Qin Ming sent it flying, knocking out all its dog teeth and even its chin.

"Awooo, awooo, awooo----" the Yin Yang Dog howled in agony.

"The Saint Traveler is here, how dare you cause trouble?" an old man shouted.

Qin Ming remained calm; it wasn't like he hadn't killed Saint Traveler before.

From another direction, a group of warriors dressed in "jade armor" appeared, numbering over a dozen, with the survivor being a female Saint Disciple.

Qin Ming's other deskmate, Jin Mei, immediately went over to greet him.

Soon, a third team appeared, presumably from the Dwelling in the World Organization, since the Pangolin had already lowered its head to report the situation.

Qin Ming remained silent, feeling alright. Most of the tomb explorers in the outer area were at the Fifth Realm level, and no Earth Immortal were involved.

Those so-called key members all made a misjudgment and went to that distant area to search for Chang Kui's tomb.

To Qin Ming's surprise, the leaders of the three major forces— the Dwelling in the World Organization, the Rebirth Figurine, and the Illiterate Traveler—actually came together and nodded to each other.

"Myriad Dragons Supporting Great Tomb? That's a legendary, Long Tomb that can move on its own!"

"We never expected to find Xiang!"

Even the most experienced Earth Immortal from the Three Great Organizations were excited, seemingly finding it hard to believe that they had discovered such a mysterious place.

"Legend has it that the great tomb, carried by ten thousand dragons, roams deep beneath the Night Mist World. It can interact with other Supreme Experts who have died, and even communicate with the dead. It is mysterious and unpredictable, and eventually it can pierce through the Dead Realm and rise again."
