Heavenly Bright Pill Emperor!

Under the light of dozens of Night-Shining Pearls, the cave did not feel cramped or enclosed in the slightest.

On the contrary, it looked exceptionally bright inside.

At the center of the tomb stood a massive stone seat.

A skeletal frame sat cross-legged atop it.

In front of the stone seat was an enormous stone tablet, or rather, a gravestone.

On the left side of the tomb was a small mountain of gold coins.

Even at a rough glance, there had to be two or three million of them!

Beside the pile of gold coins stood a wooden rack.

Rows of jade boxes and jade bottles rested upon it.

Even from a distance, Xiao Yang could sense the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from within those jade boxes and bottles.

On the right side of the tomb was a small flower bed.

It was not large, yet it occupied roughly a third of the entire tomb.

There were only a dozen or so medicinal herbs in the flower bed.

Xiao Yang recognized only a few of them.

Yet merely recognizing those few herbs made Xiao Yang incredibly excited.

Because he had actually found two of the main ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill here!

One was a Golden Sun Flower, and the other was Pulse Warming Grass.

Together, these two medicinal herbs were worth at least one and a half million gold coins!

And they were extremely difficult to buy!

After all, both herbs were far too precious!

The petals of a Golden Sun Flower could directly strengthen the physique of a Dou Ling expert when consumed.

After consuming Pulse Warming Grass, even the meridians of a Dou Wang expert could be widened!

These two herbs could be said to be the most important ingredients in the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Xiao Yang had never expected to find them here!

He had originally thought that he might not find them even after reaching the Battler realm.

He had even considered joining Jia Nan Academy as soon as possible and searching for them in the Black-Corner Region.

But now, he had found them here.

The remaining herbs were also exceptionally precious.

Each was worth at least two hundred thousand gold coins!

And all of them were priceless treasures that could not be bought on the market!

Yao Lao drifted over to Xiao Yang's side at that moment.

"Tut, tut, tut. What absurd luck!"

"A cultivator at the Dou Qi Seventh Stage actually managed to obtain a map like this."

"Even in the Central Plains, this would be an extremely rare find."

Xiao Yang also felt that his luck was outrageously good right now.

Leaving aside everything else, after dying, he had transmigrated into the Battle Through the Heavens World and received another chance at life, along with a system!

That alone meant his luck was even greater than Xiao Yan's!

After all, Xiao Yan did not have a system.

"Hehe, just luck. Just luck."

Xiao Yang said as he rubbed his nose.

Just then, he noticed Yao Lao staring intently at one particular medicinal herb.

"Teacher, what herb is that? Is it very precious?"

Xiao Yang asked curiously, pointing at the herb.

Yao Lao did not hide it and nodded directly.

"This herb is called the Soul Recovery Flower. It can be used to increase soul power!"

"Even a sixth-grade alchemist would drool over it."

"Would you say it is precious or not?"

Xiao Yang's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing that.

"In that case, Teacher, if you consume it, can you recover a bit more of your strength?"

Xiao Yan, standing nearby, also brightened at those words.

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yang with a somewhat complicated expression.

"After consuming this herb, your soul power could even rival that of a fifth-grade alchemist. Are you sure you do not want to take it yourself?"

Xiao Yang gave a carefree smile.

"Teacher, I believe I can reach the fifth grade through my own strength in the future."

"Besides, the stronger you are, the more beneficial it is for us, isn't it?"

"So you should accept this herb."

Xiao Yan said nothing from the side.

After all, they had only been able to come here because of Xiao Yang.

In theory, all of these things belonged to Xiao Yang as well.

Seeing the sincerity on Xiao Yang's face, a trace of gratification and emotion flashed through Yao Lao's eyes.

"Good. Since that is the case, I shall accept it as your teacher."

He did not say anything more, only silently committing the matter to memory.

"Perfect. While we have the chance, I will also teach you some knowledge about medicinal herbs."

"Once you break through to the Dou Zhe realm and begin learning alchemy, you will need to study these things too."

"So after we return, you will begin learning this theoretical knowledge."

As he spoke, Yao Lao began carefully introducing the names, properties, harvesting methods, and other details of the dozen or so medicinal herbs.

As he explained, he also listed the pills that could be refined from them.

Even the poorest of these dozen or so herbs was a main ingredient for a fourth-grade pill.

After finishing his explanation, he finally had Xiao Yang take out jade boxes and harvest them.

Next, Yao Lao led the two of them to the wooden rack beside them.

Xiao Yang first put away the gold coins on the ground before inspecting the items on the rack.

A trace of excitement soon flashed through his eyes.

There were actually three Xuan-tier Cultivation Methods and five Xuan-tier Fighting Skills here!

Two of the cultivation methods were mid-level Xuan Tier, while one was high-level Xuan Tier.

As for the Fighting Skills, three were high-level Xuan Tier, one was mid-level Xuan Tier, and one was low-level Xuan Tier.

One had to know that the Xiao Clan's strongest cultivation methods and Fighting Skills were inferior to these!

Even the most precious cultivation methods and Fighting Skills in the entire Jia Ma Empire only reached high-level Xuan Tier.

"We struck it rich! We really struck it rich!"

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with excitement as he looked at the cultivation methods and Fighting Skills before him.

Besides the cultivation methods and Fighting Skills, the jade boxes even contained one Tier 5 Magic Core and three Tier 4 Magic Cores!

However, when Xiao Yang saw those Magic Cores, a trace of regret flashed through his eyes.

"What a pity. If there were a Tier 6 Magic Core, then the ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill would be complete."

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Yao Lao could not help but laugh and scold him.

"You really know how to dream."

Next, Xiao Yang looked at the jade bottles nearby.

They actually all contained pills!

And even the lowest-grade ones were third-grade pills!

The best among them was a fifth-grade Life Recovery Pill!

This thing could save a life!

Moreover, among these pills were two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills.

These were pills capable of directly raising a Da Dou Shi's cultivation by one star!

Xiao Yang did not hesitate in the slightest and directly put everything away.

After putting away all the items, Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan finally walked over to the gravestone.

It recorded some of this Dou Emperor expert's deeds.

This Dou Emperor expert was named Wang Tianming.

He was also a genius.

He had become a Da Dou Shi when he was only in his twenties.

After becoming a Da Dou Shi, he followed his master to the Central Plains.

He steadily grew stronger in the Central Plains, becoming a Dou Emperor and a sixth-grade alchemist.

However, he was ultimately stuck at the Dou Emperor Peak for decades, unable to advance any further.

When he had little lifespan remaining, he returned to his hometown, the Jia Ma Empire.

In his later years, the experts of the Jia Ma Empire called him the Heavenly Bright Pill Emperor.

During the final stretch of his life, he built a tomb for himself.

At the same time, he released the map to his tomb.

After doing all that, he entered secluded cultivation here until death.

Judging by the current situation, he should have failed in his attempt to break through.

There was one final sentence on the gravestone.

"Those who find this place are fated with me."

"I ask only that you lay me to rest and bury me in the flower bed beside me."

"All the treasures here shall be your reward."
