Hearing Lin Ze's words, Xiao Yi Xian also came closer.
Seeing that the owner of the ruins had solemnly placed these three stone boxes on the table and locked them, their importance was evident.
Xiao Yi Xian touched the lock on the stone box. The metal lock was still slightly warm.
"To be able to endure for so long and still remain warm, it's clearly not ordinary metal."
Lin Ze looked at the three keys in the skeleton's hand and gently took them.
However, after all, it had endured the years, and even though Lin Ze had tried his best to control his strength.
The skeleton was so fragile that even a gust of wind or a rustle of grass could damage it.
Lin Ze shook his head slightly and bowed to the skeleton.
"Senior, junior has no intention of offending, please do not blame me."
Xiao Yi Xian also bowed along.
After all, this was a ruin left by a predecessor. They had gained so many benefits and unintentionally damaged the predecessor's remains, so they naturally had to apologize.
"Lin Ze, why don't we properly arrange the senior's remains when we leave?"
"Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking."
Lin Ze nodded and began to use the three Black Keys to try the stone boxes one by one.
Click!
After some attempts, he finally matched the lock and the key.
As the metal lock fell, the stone box slowly opened.
Xiao Yi Xian's eyes widened, and she looked curiously into the stone box. Inside, there was a Seven-Colored Scroll.
However, she just watched and had no intention of reaching out.
After all, being allowed to explore the ruins with him was already a sign of Lin Ze's trust in her.
In legends, there were countless examples of people turning against each other over the spoils of ruins.
It wasn't uncommon for several people to enter a ruin and only one to come out.
How many of these were due to the dangers and traps of the ruins themselves, and how many were due to scheming and infighting?
Lin Ze trusted Xiao Yi Xian, and Xiao Yi Xian naturally didn't want to disappoint Lin Ze.
She stood obediently to the side, waiting for Lin Ze to examine it.
Lin Ze glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, but said nothing. He reached out and took the scroll.
Lin Ze opened the colorful, ancient scroll and browsed through it.
He did indeed find records of the Woeful Poison Body within it.
Holding the ancient scroll, Lin Ze's mind raced.
According to what Yao Lao said in the Original Work, the Woeful Poison Body would not activate if poison was not consumed.
But once poison was consumed, even if it was accidentally ingested, the Woeful Poison Body would activate.
Lin Ze hesitated whether to give the Seven Colored Poison Scripture to Xiao Yi Xian.
However, he then thought, unless Xiao Yi Xian completely gave up using poison as a method.
Otherwise, since Xiao Yi Xian frequently used poison, she would always come into contact with it, or even accidentally ingest some.
After all, one can't walk by a river without getting their shoes wet.
Take, for example, the medicinal powder she often used for throwing.
Could she perfectly avoid every grain of medicinal powder falling into her mouth every time?
It was impossible to think so.
At that time, the Woeful Poison Body would activate spontaneously.
Rather than letting Xiao Yi Xian activate the Woeful Poison Body in ignorance, it was better to give her the Seven Colored Poison Scripture.
Let her be mentally prepared.
Whether Xiao Yi Xian chose to refuse to activate the Woeful Poison Body, or made the same choice and activated it, Lin Ze would support her.
As for the troubles that would arise from the Woeful Poison Body in its later stages, Lin Ze was confident he could handle them.
With him in charge of the Bronze Mirror and many Death Soldiers under his command, it was not impossible to resolve the troubles of the Woeful Poison Body.
"Lin Ze, what's wrong? Is there a problem with this scroll?"
Seeing Lin Ze fall silent for a long time, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised by the content recorded on the scroll."
Lin Ze smiled, shook his head, and then handed the scroll to Xiao Yi Xian.
"This is a poison scripture, and everything on it is related to poison. I'm not very interested in it."
"I'll give it to you."
Xiao Yi Xian was startled, and quickly waved her hands in refusal.
However, Lin Ze didn't give her a chance to speak and directly stuffed the scroll into her hand.
"Take it, but perhaps in the future, you'll blame me for giving you this scroll?"
Lin Ze said as if joking.
Xiao Yi Xian quickly shook her head and said, "How could I?! The owner of this ruin treasured it so much, this poison scripture must be exceptionally precious."
"You're gifting me such a precious poison scripture, how could I possibly blame you?"
Xiao Yi Xian said solemnly.
She could also guess Lin Ze's meaning, which was likely that by giving her this poison scripture, Lin Ze was setting her on the path of a Poison Master.
Poison Masters were not a good profession on the Dou Qi Continent; in fact, they were something people feared and avoided like the plague.
After all, no one wanted to be inexplicably poisoned and on the verge of death.
But if Xiao Yi Xian truly embarked on the path of a Poison Master, it would be her own choice.
It wouldn't be because of the poison scripture Lin Ze gifted her.
Xiao Yi Xian quickly glanced at the contents of the Seven Colored Poison Scripture, and her eyes revealed a hint of joy.
However, she didn't study it carefully. Instead, she put it away and looked at Lin Ze.
She saw Lin Ze open another stone box and take out a black scroll from it.
Another scroll?
Xiao Yi Xian was curious in her heart, and at the same time, she prayed that this scroll would be useful to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze examined the scroll and saw a line of small text on its side, a smile appearing on his face.
"Lin Ze, what is this?"
Seeing Lin Ze's happy expression, Xiao Yi Xian's heart also leaped with joy, knowing that this might be something useful to Lin Ze.
"Xuan Tier High Grade Flight Dou Technique: Eagle Wings!"
"Flight Dou Technique?"
Xiao Yi Xian was filled with confusion. This was the first time she had ever heard of the existence of Flight Dou Techniques.
"That's right, it's a Flight Dou Technique. It's different from ordinary Offensive Dou Techniques and Defensive Dou Techniques. As the name suggests, it's a Dou Technique that allows one to master the ability of flight!"
"It allows one to fly!?" Xiao Yi Xian exclaimed.
"Flight is said to require reaching the Dou King realm. Can it be done with a Flight Dou Technique?"
Seeing Lin Ze nod, Xiao Yi Xian looked at the black scroll in his hand with some shock.
Then she said happily, "That's really great. This scroll will be very useful to you."
"Why do you seem happier about me getting a treasure than if you got one yourself?" Lin Ze asked with a smile.
"Hehe, because I already got the Seven Colored Poison Scripture. If you didn't get something you liked, I'd feel a bit embarrassed," Xiao Yi Xian chuckled sheepishly.
Lin Ze smiled. What Xiao Yi Xian didn't know was that even this Flight Dou Technique wasn't something he could use freely right now. Although Flight Dou Techniques lowered the barrier to flight, the Dou Qi required was still beyond his current capacity to expend.
The Dou Technique he could truly use was the Mad Lion Chant from the last box.
Lin Ze opened it and saw a light green scroll. On the side of the scroll, a small line of text read: Xuan Tier High Grade Dou Skill: Mad Lion Chant!
Lin Ze looked at the two Xuan Tier Dou Techniques in his hands and sighed inwardly, finally obtaining Xuan Tier Dou Techniques. As expected, one must go to Jia Nan Academy to have a safe and stable channel for acquiring high-grade Dou Techniques and cultivation methods. It was like these Xuan Tier Dou Techniques; he had no way to obtain them before. Unlike Xiao Yan, who already possessed three Xuan Tier Dou Techniques before even leaving Wutan City.
