Treasure That Turned Defeat into Victory, Revenge on the Commandery Princess! Lewd Ingenious Devices, All Swept into the Pouch!

As Yi Jiufan's lifespan was nearing its end, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and completed more than half of the "Heaven-and-Earth Garment," exhausting all his erotic thoughts throughout his life. However, he was ultimately several steps short, and feeling that his life was about to end, he was unable to forge the artifact properly.

Finally, the book is filled with three large characters for "regret". The first "regret" expresses deep regret, the second "regret" expresses resentment, and the third "regret" expresses despondency and indifference to worldly affairs.

He returned to his tomb, lay down in the coffin, closed his eyes for half a day, and then died. His tomb was ingeniously designed and its contents were so unique that it was difficult for others to discover it. However, Zhong Wanshu had ulterior motives and gave him all the diagrams of the tomb.

This regrettable event was witnessed by Li Xian. Li Xian thought to himself, "Although Senior Yi Jiufan is inherently wicked and only makes those lewd and bizarre artifacts, he is indeed a first-rate mechanical craftsman. He should have lived a longer life, but he was once oppressed by a master. His injuries could not be healed, thus shortening his lifespan. He was unable to take revenge in his life and feared the power of his enemy. Even after entering the tomb, he still couldn't forget him and thought about it day and night, all for the sake of finding the treasure to capture him."

Li Xian suddenly thought, "I also have a formidable enemy at the moment. The Commandery Princess Anyang must be extremely powerful. Although this ' Heaven-and-Earth Garment ' is a product of lustful desires and not a proper item, according to Senior Yi Jiufan, its ability to capture people is extremely powerful. If I complete this item, will I have more means to deal with this woman in the future?"

"However, Yi Jiufan couldn't complete it in his entire life, so how could I possibly? I am neither Heavenly Crafted Wonders nor knowledgeable in the intricacies of mechanisms. But... I have one advantage that Senior Yi Jiufan lacks. He had no predecessors, and his time was short; he created something from nothing. I have both guidance from a predecessor and the time to study. I can first thoroughly understand his mechanisms, and then find a way to perfect the Heaven-and-Earth Garment. It should be a trump card!"

Li Xian was overjoyed. The "Heaven-and-Earth Garment," though named "robes," was more like a "vessel." Though only half-finished, it already displayed exquisite craftsmanship. Li Xian's Mechanism Path was limited; he couldn't fathom its mystery, nor could he discern any lewd intent within it. He only knew that this object was undoubtedly a device of great lust, evil, chaos, treachery, and ingenuity. Li Xian pondered, "This object is exquisite. Until I have Mechanism Path the art of mechanisms, I must remember not to touch it carelessly. However, this object is quite large; how can I bring it back silently? My Fish-Belly Treasure Pouch, though not small, cannot contain it."

Just as he was feeling helpless, he suddenly remembered what he had read in the book: Yi Jiufan had poured his life's work into this object and often slept with it in his hands. Li Xian had seen the wonders of Heavenly Crafted Wonders; the "Silverfrost Bow" could be transformed into a sphere, so this "Heaven-and-Earth Garment" could certainly be transformed as well.

He immediately followed the clues in the book and learned that the Heaven-and-Earth Garment had indeed undergone changes. Li Xian carefully fiddled with it and suddenly saw the Heaven-and-Earth Garment activate its mechanism. The components of the garment were interlocked.

It was folded into a "square box" about the thickness and length of an arm. The materials contained in the Heaven-and-Earth Garment were extremely precious, a mixture of "Mithril," "Pouch Earth," and "Essence Gold," forged in a cauldron. The material was so strong and indestructible that it could also shrink one's size!

Li Xian took out a couple of miscellaneous items and then placed the square box into the Fish-Belly Treasure Pouch. Overjoyed at obtaining this strange treasure, he thought, "The Heaven-and-Earth Garment is indeed valuable, but the Fish-Belly Treasure Pouch is even rarer. It's extremely difficult to find something like this without a fortuitous encounter. Without the Fish-Belly Treasure Pouch, even if I obtained the Heaven-and-Earth Garment, it would be difficult to take it away quietly."

Then he explored each item in the workshop. Whenever he saw Heavenly Crafted Wonders, he would take it and examine it closely. Whenever he saw a book, he would study it in detail. Whenever he saw a diagram or illustration of a mechanism, he would glance at it briefly.

Yi Jiufan was extremely skilled in mechanical devices. He lived here for a long time before his death, and all his life's work and knowledge were gathered here. The knowledge of "Heavenly Crafted Wonders" that Li Xian craved could all be found here. It was truly a "food served to him" and a rare delicacy.

However... Yi Jiufan's life was nearing its end, and his thoughts were all profound principles. Li Xian, who had not yet Initiation the basics of mechanisms, was like an illiterate child entering a library of books. There was a vast chasm between them, making it difficult to distinguish between good and bad, let alone learn anything.

Knowing this, Li Xian thought, "If I want to complete the Heaven-and-Earth Garment, I need to study Yi Jiufan's Mechanism Path. I haven't even Initiation the surface of Mechanism Path yet. Even if there are good things here, I won't be able to recognize them, and even if I can, I won't understand them. You have to eat one bite at a Heavenly Crafted Wonders, let alone something more profound. I'll try my best to bring back all the books and diagrams here first. Then I'll find some clues and start learning the art of mechanisms from scratch. Once I've made some progress, I'll try to study the treasures left behind by Yi Jiufan."

He concealed important books, illustrations of Heavenly Crafted Wonders, and one or two actual artifacts within the Fish-Belly Treasure Pouch. These included: the Record of the Heaven-Earth Garment, Thirty-Two Designs for Lewd Evil Devices, miscellaneous treatises on Jade Core, Treatise on a Hundred Lusts, and the Graceful Form Scripture...

Li Xian thought to himself, "If this Fish-Belly Treasure Pouch is discovered, and others find out what's inside, I'll be utterly disgraced. Everyone who sees it will call me a lecherous thief and a wicked villain. Hahaha, it doesn't matter. I've been talked about like this so many times, why should I care?"

Leaving the workshop, Li Xian continued to explore along the trail. He knew that one should not strive for perfection in everything; he had already gained much and dared not be greedy for more. Using the mechanisms in the tomb passage, he began to search for the two women and prepare for their exit from the tomb.

Peng Qiuluo and Han Niannian were separated one after another. Li Xian first encountered Peng Qiuluo and saw that her clothes were loose at the shoulders, indicating that she was in a stuffy and hot tomb, and the lingering effects of the second layer had not yet dissipated. Therefore, she appeared even more aroused.

Li Xian feigned confusion and encountered Peng Qiuluo by chance. Peng Qiuluo was usually quite perceptive, and Li Xian might not have been able to completely deceive her. However, she was in a state of turmoil, her Heartfire was agitated, and her observation skills were not as sharp. Unaware of Li Xian's scheme, she breathed a sigh of relief when they met, her expression strange, yet she felt embarrassed. After leaving the second floor, the strange feeling lingered, everything seemed odd, and her inner lining was soaked with sweat. The two of them then went together to search for Han Niannian.

The three quickly reunited and began exploring the lower levels. Upon reaching the seventh level, they found the tomb passage to be quite short, a total of 798 steps, but filled with numerous secret chambers. Suddenly, they noticed something unusual: cracks and grooves on the walls and arrow marks on the floor, indicating signs of a struggle.

Upon closer inspection, there were marks of sharp weapons slashing and powerful impacts on the wall... Li Xian, with his keen observation, noticed the traces of martial arts techniques and ingenious weapon applications, such as the Heavenly Pivot Saber Method, the Life-Saving Umbrella Mechanism, and the Wei Clan Mountain-Breaking Fist.

The eighth level is where the "tomb entrance" is located. Li Xian, Peng Qiuluo, and Han Niannian originally discovered the tomb entrance at the bottom of the cliff. At that time, the entrance was slightly ajar and could be entered directly. Fearing something was amiss, Li Xian sought another way and entered the tomb through a small hole. They went downhill and arrived at the seventh level.

However, he noticed traces of his comrades, and signs of a knife fight and killing. Li Xian thought, "This tomb is mostly descended from top to bottom, making it extremely difficult to ascend from bottom to top. If the group entered from the eighth level, it would be difficult for them to appear on the seventh level. If they entered from the first level, their movements should have been detected beforehand. It seems there's something strange about this place."

Li Xian was very perceptive and immediately Mind-Intent Transmission to tell the two women to slow down, informing them of a possible danger on this level. Peng Qiuluo was very cautious and immediately focused her attention on observing.

Han Niannian also gripped the hilt of her knife, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings. The three followed the trail, when suddenly they heard footsteps approaching. Li Xian thought, "If there's fighting on this level, the situation must be unclear. In this case, it's best to hide first and then observe how things unfold." He was familiar with the tomb's structure and knew how to navigate between the tombs, skillfully avoiding those approaching.

They hid in a simple spot. The further down the tomb went, the shorter the passage became, but the more branching passages and secret chambers there were. In addition to the circular passage, there were also crisscrossing paths, and even staircases and stairways... It was extremely complicated. There were countless traps and dangerous situations within.

Li Xian, Peng Qiuluo, and Han Niannian hid in a narrow side passage leading to a secret chamber. This chamber was extremely well-hidden, and so was the side passage. Hiding here allowed them to observe the main passage, and if discovered, they could easily retreat into the secret chamber – a foolproof plan. Li Xian's hiding place demonstrated his extraordinary familiarity with tombs. Unfortunately, Peng Qiuluo and Han Niannian, their bodies Divergent Flame, were unable to fulfill their duties as "monitors," their thoughts consumed by lust, and thus they remained completely unaware. The passage was only wide enough for two people to pass through, and the three of them squeezed in, their bodies pressed tightly together. Li Xian felt a deep tightness in his chest, as if something thick was pressing against him. A sense of arousal arose within him, but with enemies at hand, he immediately focused his attention.

Peng Qiuluo and Han Niannian blushed, unsure whether to consider the external enemy or the current situation. They both thought, "There are signs of a fight here. If it wasn't internal strife, then there must be an external enemy. But my mind is very strange right now, and I can't think of anything else. That lewd painting is truly deadly." They felt their bodies pressed close together, their hearts pounding, unsure whether it was joy or worry. Every breath felt terrifying, and their excitement was indescribable. Suddenly, they saw the firelight approaching, and someone was walking. Judging from the candlelight, the person should be short.

One of them said, "Brother, you're naturally suspicious. There was no sound at all. We were just feeling guilty and misheard." This person's voice was high-pitched and quite grating.

Another person said, "This is the southeast corner, where the side chamber is located. We've been around this place a thousand times over the years, but we haven't seen anything strange." The two continued, "Our elder brother said there should be several more layers above this tomb. But we can only go down, not up. However, the treasures are mostly hidden in these layers." "What a pity, what a pity, why aren't there any women among these bastards?" "We five brothers have been holding back for too long. If two beautiful women came, we would really... hehehe." "In recent years, we five brothers have seen quite a few items specifically for dealing with women. We're itching to get our hands on them." "Hahaha, I see those guys, they have fair skin, and although they're men, we've been lonely for too long, so we can barely handle one or two of them." During the conversation, Li Xian, Han Niannian, and others passed by. Peng Qiuluo's hiding place gradually receded into the distance. Han Niannian and Peng Qiuluo had no time to think, only feeling their bodies go numb and weak. If it weren't for the narrow side passage, they would have been unable to stand still. Because of the narrowness of the side passage, they had to stay close together, fearing that their unusual behavior would be noticed. Although they knew that their enemies were present and that their fellow tomb raiders might be acting strangely, it was a woman's nature to find it difficult to concentrate and think of a way out. Li Xian frowned. "From what you two said, there are five enemies in total. Most likely, they are the five thieves who hid in the tomb several years ago. These five thieves are actually still alive, which makes things much more troublesome." It turned out that about five years ago, there was a group of thieves in Jade City, totaling thirteen people. They were known in the martial arts world as the "Thirteen Heroes of the Ancient Tombs," specializing in tomb raiding and treasure robbing, and were known for their vicious nature. They came to Jade City, clearly intending to steal some tomb treasure. This group was very extravagant and disguised themselves as wealthy merchants to enter the city.

Before preparing for their tomb raiding expedition, the thirteen men stayed in the western part of Jade City to purchase supplies. The initial preparations went smoothly, leading to a growing sense of arrogance and overconfidence among them. On the eve of their departure, one of the Thirteen Heroes of the Ancient Tombs got into an argument, which escalated into a major conflict that became quite unpleasant. This Thirteen Heroes of the Ancient Tombs spent years exploring ancient tombs, had developed a ruthless and vicious nature. The others thought, "We'll leave this city once we've entered the tomb. If you dare to mess with us now, we'll kill your mother and make sure your whole family is exterminated, hahaha!" So that very night, the thirteen men launched a massive revenge attack.

Those who had clashed during the day were all killed inside the house. They then set sail that night, intending to search for an ancient tomb. The plan was meticulously planned, but one of the murdered men had a cousin who was Gold-Seeking Guard a type of guard): Iron Fu. Iron Fu happened to be visiting his cousin and was enraged by the carnage. The Gold-Seeking Guard immediately opened a case and launched a thorough investigation. They learned that the thirteen men had fled into the sea and immediately coordinated with the Sea-Calming Guard to pursue and kill them. The thirteen men were filled with remorse, regretting their impulsive act of violence that had brought them endless trouble, but in this situation, they had no choice but to flee. Along the way, two were captured, six were killed, and the whereabouts of the remaining five remained unknown. It was speculated that they jumped into the sea to their deaths, but in reality, they had sneaked into the ancient tomb.

Although the "Thirteen Heroes of the Ancient Tombs" had made ample preparations before entering the tomb, they lost their composure during their escape, and most of their prepared items were lost. When the five of them sneaked into the tomb, due to the haste, they entered through the main gate, navigated the dangerous traps, and survived, but the unique features of the Second Realm prevented them from escaping from the sea. Fortunately, the eldest brother, "He Miaoshou," Proficiency the tomb's mechanisms and gradually figured out how to get inside. Living in the tomb allowed them to sustain themselves for a long time. In this way, they were trapped in the tomb for several years. By this time, the five of them were very distressed, knowing that they would be buried deep in the sea to accompany the tomb's owner, and they had lost interest in gold, silver, and jewels. In the third year of their hiding in the tomb, the tomb chamber suddenly shook violently. It was unknown whether it was due to geological movement or the collapse of a giant beast. The tomb suddenly malfunctioned, and one of the passages collapsed.

The tomb entrance was on the eighth level. The five people rushed in through the entrance and then kept going around in circles on the eighth level. This sudden accident revealed the seventh level to them. The five people gradually figured out the pattern of the tomb.

Try to master the mechanisms on the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors. Although the tomb can only be accessed downwards, if someone is available to assist on the upper floor, it is possible to travel between the upper and lower floors.

He Miaoshou found pleasure in exploring mechanisms. He discovered that Yi Jiufan possessed a great deal of treasure, but unfortunately, they could not escape the sea. Day after day passed like this, until recently. Suddenly, a young man broke in and injured his fourth brother in just two moves. He Miaoshou and the others rushed to his aid and saw that it was a "Sea-Calming Guard" who had broken in. The five brothers were furious and all took action to fight back.

However, this boy's fists were incredibly powerful; when he swung them, it was as if Mount Tai had collapsed before one's eyes. The tomb passage was very narrow, making it difficult to fully utilize the advantage of having many people. Moreover, the five brothers were trapped at sea and believed that they had no chance of escape, so they gave up on themselves and had not practiced martial arts for a long time.

Despite their large numbers, all of them were at the Second Martial Realm, yet they were overwhelmed by the young Sea-Calming Guard. He Miaoshou shouted, "Retreat!" The brothers retreated into the seventh level and closed the passage.

Wei Chu was caught off guard and, seeing that the enemy had disappeared, was utterly helpless.

The five men, having escaped danger, grew increasingly resentful. They reasoned that if they couldn't defeat Wei Chu and he remained trapped on the eighth floor, they would eventually perish. They immediately devised another plan, a desperate gamble: to reopen the passage, lure Wei Chu to the seventh floor, and then use the tomb's mechanisms to capture and kill him. This plan succeeded. Wei Chu, seeing how his sheer power had overwhelmed the five men, and how he had been repeatedly called "Fool," was burning with ambition and eager to prove himself. He noticed the Sea Python's chaos that had scattered them, and he was clearly the first to discover the Sea Tomb. If he could subdue the five and extract information about the tomb, he would deserve the greatest reward.

In his haste, he rushed into the seventh level. But the situation was completely different. He was repeatedly tricked, ambushed by traps, and repeatedly stepped into snares. The "Five Heroes of the Ancient Tomb," working together, though rarely engaging in combat due to their long residence in the tomb, possessed a ferocity that compensated for their lack of martial arts skills under the threat of death. Knowing Wei Chu's formidable strength, they avoided direct confrontation, using the tomb's hidden chambers and passageways to maneuver, often exchanging a few blows before escaping. They lured Wei Chu step by step into the depths of the traps. Ambushes, poison powder, Heavenly Crafted Wonders, and mechanisms—they were endless. Wei Chu grew increasingly furious and anxious with each fight. The Five Heroes of the Ancient Tomb, too, grew increasingly alarmed, inwardly cursing, "This beast is too powerful!!!"

After nearly an hour of struggle, Wei Chu was finally defeated and captured, suffering extreme humiliation. Wei Chu was not weak, but he lacked composure in the face of adversity. Because he admired his aunt since childhood, he was always eager to prove himself. Moreover, the "Five Heroes of the Ancient Tomb" were extremely familiar with the tomb's contents, making it difficult for anyone to gain the upper hand. He Miaoshou hated the "Sea-Calming Guard" and wanted to kill them. But then he thought, "The Sea-Calming Guard usually travels in groups, so why is there suddenly one person here? Could it be that they have accomplices? Did they come specifically to capture my five brothers?" Filled with doubts, he suppressed his murderous intent and tried to extract clues from Wei Chu. Wei Chu, being inexperienced, unknowingly revealed the truth. He Miaoshou understood the situation and set another trap. Taking advantage of the unsuspecting, he successively captured Bai Qinghao, Shi Hu, Wei Xun, Liu Qingbiao, Iron Fu.

Because of their escape from the "Sea Python horde," Li Xian, Han Niannian, and Peng Qiuluo have been delayed for quite some time. If the three of them enter through the main gate of the tomb, they will surely be plotted against by the Five Heroes of the Ancient Tomb. Even if Li Xian is quick-witted, he will likely not be able to gain any advantage due to the loss of favorable timing, location, and support.

Fortunately, Li Xian noticed the tomb door was loose and crooked, sensing something was amiss, and thus chose another path. This changed the situation to "the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark." The Five Heroes of the Ancient Tomb had lost their advantageous position, and the situation was completely different. After the two who had been exploring the tomb with candles had gone far away, Li Xian, Han Niannian, and Peng Qiuluo emerged from the secret passage. Han Niannian, having regained her composure, asked, "According to those two, Shi Hu and the others are most likely in grave danger." Peng Qiuluo asked, "Li Xian, what do you think we should do?"

Li Xian thought to himself, "Although there are five enemies, they may not be that powerful. I am familiar with the tomb's mechanisms, and if I can skillfully maneuver, I might be able to handle them. I overheard the conversation between the two just now, and it seems that several people have already fallen into their hands. Even though it has nothing to do with Commandery Princess Anyang's mission, I must do my best to rescue my colleagues in distress. But this matter needs to be handled carefully." He immediately informed Han Niannian and Peng Qiuluo to find a way to capture the two people from earlier.

Li Xian, Han Niannian, and Peng Qiuluo immediately slowed their pace and caught up with the two thieves. The two thieves held candles, their light making them quite conspicuous. Li Xian Mind-Intent Transmission, "I'll deal with the one on the left, you deal with the one on the right." Peng Qiuluo and Han Niannian nodded. The two women, having held their breath for a long time, immediately unleashed their power. Peng Qiuluo quickened her pace, catching up with the two, and lightly patted the right-hand man's shoulder. The right-hand man looked up, Peng Qiuluo swiftly drew her sword and swept it horizontally. The right-hand man immediately raised his candle to block, but was knocked back several steps. Peng Qiuluo closely, immediately slashing down with both swords. The right-hand man cried out in surprise and hurriedly used his palm technique to parry. Although he hadn't fought in a long time, he was still Second Martial Realm; how could he be weak? His palm was wreathed in dark light, as if made of black iron. He met the horizontal sword head-on, sparks flying from within the tomb passage.

The man on the right gave a low shout and gripped Peng Qiuluo's horizontal sword with both hands. Peng Qiuluo sneered, suddenly leaped up, turned in mid-air, and kicked backward with his right foot. The kick was extremely powerful. The man on the right tried to block it, but felt his internal energy dissipate as he was kicked straight into his chest. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

The man on the right held his breath, blood welling in his chest. Then, with a powerful spurt, several blood-red swords shot out. Peng Qiuluo's eyes sharpened; she charged forward, lightly parrying with her blade, deflecting all the blood arrows. She then thrust her blade forward, intending to seize his throat and kill him in one strike. But realizing she needed to capture him alive, she changed direction, aiming for the enemy's shoulder. The man on the right sank his shoulder, clinging tightly to the blade's edge, narrowly avoiding the thrust. But he was truly at his wit's end. Peng Qiuluo, pressing her blade down. The man on the right sank his shoulder, trying to shake it off. But the blade contained a suction force, tightly gripping his shoulder and forcing him to his knees. Enraged, the man on the right was determined to fight to the death. Ignoring his shoulder injury, he struck out with both palms. Peng Qiuluo retreated half a step, and suddenly an iron chain extended from the hilt of her blade. She flipped her wrist, and the chain bound the man's arms.

She pulled hard again, and the man on the right fell face-first to the ground. Peng Qiuluo, pressing the acupoints on the man's back with her toes, the heat penetrating from her Inner Steam to seal the acupoints. Then she stepped on the back of the man's head. The ground shook three times, displaying great power and domineering presence. Although this woman was a woman, her martial arts style was crisp, clean, and heroic. She was skilled in swordsmanship and leg techniques.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Han Niannian, evenly matched with Han Niannian, flicked her wrist and launched three darts. The man on the left, seeing his companion attacked, was about to help, but hearing the approaching whistling wind, he had no choice but to prioritize his own safety, dodging left and right. Han Niannian pointed her sword finger and whispered, "Shake!" A powerful shockwave instantly spread around the man on the left. His lower body swayed, and he lost his balance. Han Niannian raised her sword and thrust it straight at the man's Tanzhong acupoint. The man on the left caught the blade with his bare hands. Seeing her sword caught, Han Niannian twisted the hilt, changing the blade's direction from vertical to horizontal, instantly grazing the man's palms.

The man on the left was greatly shocked, feeling a slight tremor in his bones. He had just caught the blade empty-handed, yet a Double Wafting Immortal Tone had flowed into his body through the blade. Han Niannian flicked her blade. The dart that had just missed was deflected by the blade and shot out again, embedding itself in the man's lower abdomen and legs. Han Niannian followed up closely, holding her blade to his neck.

In a flash, the two thieves were subdued. Li Xian clapped repeatedly. Han Niannian laughed and said, "You underestimate us. Two mere thieves, why would we need to outnumber them and fight them two against one?"

Li Xian said, "I'm itching to get my hands dirty and stretch my muscles." Peng Qiuluo asked curiously, "In that case, we'll leave the remaining three to Brother Li."

Li Xian said, "To be on the safe side, you two should stay behind and watch over the enemy, lest they escape."

Peng Qiuluo said, "Of course. To be honest... Brother Li's composure, wisdom, and decisiveness have already been witnessed by Sister Han and me. But Li Xian's martial arts Divine Ability has yet to be truly revealed, which makes me extremely curious!"

The two women's eyes flickered slightly, a strange light brewing within them.

Li Xian humbly replied, "No, no, I wouldn't dare." His hands were itching to get started.
