Ancestral Skeleton Headband

Now that they had arrived in Tongda Town, Tie Jingang was no longer in a hurry to urge the students to continue their journey. After lunch, he gave them a break and allowed them to do as they pleased.

Of course, discipline still needs to be emphasized, such as being careful not to cause trouble, and always acting in groups of three, etc. But after so long, everyone now knows perfectly well that Tongda Town is the backyard of the Hundred Rivers Sect. Ordinary people who don't know the truth can't do anything to these students who are at least at the high level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and as for Martial World artists, no one dares to cause trouble for the Hundred Rivers Sect here.

However, this time, Luo Jun, who always loves to join in the fun, declined, citing illness and the need for recuperation, and stayed alone in the Guest Room.

Although he hadn't shown anything unusual along the way, it was common knowledge that he had been seriously injured in the fight against Long Hui. As long as this reason was presented, everyone would cooperate, and no one would doubt it.

Of course, Luo Jun's real purpose in staying behind was definitely not to heal his wounds, but rather to prevent others from noticing his weakness if he stayed with them for too long.

He had initially thought that the Tomb King, an ancient relic thousands of years old, would be a dull and taciturn old man. Before returning, he was worried that the old man might seem too dull when playing him, arousing suspicion.

Therefore, before he left, he even instructed that if anyone noticed anything was wrong, they should make an excuse that they were not feeling well and that they should wait until he returned to discuss the matter.

But to his surprise, during the meal, he heard from the people around him that this old mummy was incredibly cheerful and lively. He was always there for anyone who needed him and could chime in on anyone's conversation. Many of his classmates who weren't very close to him before, after being trained by this social butterfly, now treated Luo Jun like they were old friends from their school days who skipped classes together. They were so outgoing that Luo Jun felt a little uncomfortable.

In this light, it's not so incomprehensible that someone would act like this while drunk...

No, there's still a problem. If the Tomb King's mingling with everyone was an act, then this drunken bet went a bit too far...

Regardless, Luo Jun is now hesitant to interact with others too much. He deeply regrets not asking any questions and so easily putting the Tomb King into the jar... He thought that only a few days had passed and nothing too complicated would happen, but now he realizes his version of events is far behind, and he can't even keep up with jokes anymore...

Let's just wait patiently for the Tomb King to come out and figure things out before making any decisions.

For the rest of the time, Luo Jun locked himself in his room and continued to cultivate his vital energy. During this time, many people, including Tie Jingang, knocked on his door to ask if he was alright and expressed concern for his health. He dealt with them all, explaining that he was at a crucial stage of regulating his vital energy and did not wish to be disturbed.

As night deepened, the students all went back to their rooms to rest. With Luo Jun's keen hearing, he could hear the snoring that filled the inn.

Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that he had managed to get through today. He just didn't know if anything else would happen when he returned to the sect tomorrow.

Old Gu, Old Gu, please wake up soon...

Um?

Whether it was Luo Jun's prayers that worked or not, the Ashen Urn of the Tomb King inside the Hundred Treasure Box actually began to stir!

Is the fusion almost complete?

Luo Jun used his spiritual energy to probe the Ashen Urn and discovered that something was wrong with it. It seemed to be in an unstable state. Although the fusion was still ongoing, it was different from the evolution Luo Jun had expected. This treasure seemed to be heading towards collapse...

This is no joke!

Does this mean the Cinerary Urn can't withstand Karruth's aura and is destined to be completely destroyed?

Thinking of this, Luo Jun immediately channeled his vital energy into the Hundred Treasure Box, attempting to stabilize the Cinerary Urn.

After being nourished by Luo Jun's vital energy, the Cinerary Urn did indeed stabilize. Then, just like a camel that had just walked out of the desert and found a water source, it began to frantically suck up Luo Jun's vital energy!

Good heavens, even Luo Jun could clearly feel the absorption rate. An ordinary contestant would probably be completely drained in an instant. Although Little Luo's cultivation level was not high, he had no shortage of vital energy. He immediately activated his aura and supplied it with all his might. He would give as much as the Cinerary Urn wanted!

With ample energy as a backup, the Cinerary Urn gradually stabilized, and after an unknown period of time, it finally stopped absorbing Luo Jun's vital energy.

From Luo Jun's perspective, the compartment where the Cinerary Urn was placed was completely filled with abundant vital energy, making it impossible to perceive the state inside.

After some time, the energy in that space subsided, and Luo Jun was finally able to probe the situation inside.

I wonder what my Cinerary Urn looks like now... Wait, where's the Cinerary Urn?

To Luo Jun's surprise, the urn containing Cinerary Urn was nowhere to be seen in the Hundred Treasure Box. Instead, the compartment had been replaced by... well, was that a headband?

Luo Jun took out the headband. It was white all over, with a delicate texture and a slightly frosted feel, somewhat like stone, but it had a warm and smooth feel to the touch. The overall design was simple and ancient. On the forehead, there was a gemstone the size of a quail egg. Judging from the texture, it was somewhat similar to the large gemstone that used to hang on the top of the Amgilla Pyramid.

Is this also Divine Power Crystal Karruth's divine power?

Luo Jun examined it carefully and found that it was only similar in appearance; he could no longer sense any trace of Karruth's aura.

What exactly is this...?

As the energy swept over it, the information about the headband appeared before my eyes.
