Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Herbs in the Dark Energy Grave!

Ethan Smith seemed to require more dark energy and qi!

He got up from the ground.

This was his third time absorbing dark energy on such a large scale.

And the effect this time seemed to be much better than before.

“Could it be that the more qi I absorb, the better the effect of dark energy?” Ethan Smith wondered in his heart.

If it weren’t for the presence of the Consummate Inner Strength Grandmaster Realm, Ethan Smith would probably have already stepped into the half-step Martial Marquis realm or even surpassed it.

“As long as I step through this half-step Martial Marquis boundary, it shouldn’t take me too long to enter the Military Marquis Realm.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

The accumulation of dark energy provided security to Ethan Smith’s subsequent breakthroughs.

“With three such places, I can step into the Military Marquis Realm.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

At this point, Ethan Smith couldn’t help looking at the man with the mustache not far away.

This man with the mustache kept talking about digging graves, and most graves were full of dark energy!

“Perhaps this mustached man has a way!” Ethan Smith couldn’t help feeling excited.

At this time, the man with the mustache was still circling around the area.

From time to time, he stomped his foot or lay down on the ground to listen to something.

“How is it going? Haven’t found it yet?” Ethan Smith asked.

The mustached man was so startled, he glared at Ethan Smith and said, “How can you be like a ghost, trying to scare The Master to death?!”

Ethan Smith rolled his eyes and said, “It seems you have stolen a lot of graves; otherwise, how could you be so timid?”

The mustached man spoke proudly, “Of course! From Emperor Smith’s imperial grave to the ancestral grave of my grandmother’s family, there’s no place The Master hasn’t visited!”

Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith was secretly delighted.

It seemed he needed to establish a good relationship with the mustached man.

“This is the spot!”

At this moment, the mustached man stomped his foot, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Soon after, the mustached man took out a few ritual items from his Spatial Magic Artifact, knelt down, and began to worship.

“So, you grave robbers are particular about this?” Ethan Smith joked.

The mustached man rolled his eyes and said, “This is called etiquette; you wouldn’t understand.”

After everything was ready, the mustached man began to take action.

He took out a shovel, held a technique in his hand, and aimed it at the ground.

“Boom!”

With just one hit, the ground began to shake!

The layer of earth on top actually began to peel off!

The mustached man quickly grabbed Ethan Smith and jumped to the side, excitedly saying, “Just wait and see! There’s definitely a treasure inside!”

The layers of earth fell off, and after a few minutes, a complete tomb appeared before their eyes!

At first glance, this tomb was meticulously constructed, resembling an ancient imperial palace!

It was as if the interior had been deliberately built by architects, with beautifully crafted workmanship!

Ethan Smith was momentarily stunned!

How could a grave be so exquisitely built, it was hard to believe!

“How about that? Do you know how amazing I am now?” The mustached man stroked his mustache and said triumphantly.

Ethan Smith stared at the tomb and whispered, “There must be a treasure in there!”

“Of course,” the mustached man said seriously.

He pointed at the Dragon Vein above and then at the tomb in front of him.

“This is called the Dark-Bright Energy Grave. The person who could set up a grave near the Dragon Vein must have been someone extraordinary in their lifetime, right?” the mustached man said quietly.

Ethan Smith sincerely gave the mustached man a thumbs up.

As expected, everyone has their expertise. Even the Capital City Martial Arts Association, a top organization, was no match for a top professional.

“Let’s go,” said the mustached man.

“Is there any danger inside?” Ethan Smith asked.

The man with the mustache shook his head, saying, “In a Dragon Vein area, it’s impossible to set traps. Otherwise, the tomb’s owner wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to conceal their burial site.”

Ethan Smith followed behind the man with the mustache, entering the large tomb.

As expected, it was smooth sailing all the way.

And the man with the mustache seemed to know his way around, leading Ethan Smith directly to a Stone Door.

The door faced south, square and imposing, exuding the aura of a great ruler.

With a secret technique, the man with the mustache gently tapped the door, causing it to boom open with a loud rumble!

Ethan Smith had to admit he was dumbfounded by the man’s skills, and his impression of him greatly improved.

When the door opened, they could see the treasures stored inside!

There were medicinal herbs hidden in jars, half a chest of gold, and several personal ornaments.

To ordinary people’s eyes, these were merely worldly treasures.

But to cultivators, these so-called ornaments were top-tier magical artifacts!

Ethan hurried forward, smashing a jar with his hand.

Inside was a medicinal herb of an unknown name.

Ethan looked at the herb and couldn’t help but frown.

This was because there was no trace of qi within this herb!

“How can this be?” Ethan frowned.

The man with the mustache seemed to notice Ethan’s confusion.

He sneered, “This is a Dark Energy Grave. The herbs inside are merely burial offerings. How could they contain qi?”

Ethan’s face darkened a bit.

What he urgently needed right now was a five thousand year old medicinal herb.

If he couldn’t find one, this trip would be of little significance to him.

“Goodness, there are so many treasures here; I gotta pick the best ones first!” The man with the mustache licked his lips and said cheerfully.

He went into the pile of treasures and started searching, choosing what he liked.

Meanwhile, Ethan stood still for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

“Right!”

At that moment, Ethan seemed to have thought of something.

He hurriedly looked at the man with the mustache and asked, “Can you tell how old this tomb is?”

The man glanced at Ethan and sneered, “Are you doubting my professional ability? Not only can I tell the age, but I even know when this tomb was built!”

Ethan hastily asked, “My friend, how many years has it been since this tomb was built?”

After glancing around and sniffing the air, the man with a mustache said with a grin, “Roughly three thousand years.”

Three thousand years?

“Someone who could build such a tomb must have been a prominent figure of their time!” Ethan thought to himself.

“These important figures’ burial offerings can’t be ordinary herbs.”

In other words, the burial herbs of these important figures would definitely be the world’s treasures with at least a thousand years of potency!

Considering that medicinal herbs were not as scarce as they are now, this herb might have already been thousands of years old when the tomb was created!

Another three thousand years had passed, so the possibility of this herb being more than five thousand years old was quite high!

“The formula only states that it requires a five thousand year old herb; it doesn’t say anything about the potency…” Ethan thought to himself.

As for Ethan, he had no other choice but to give it a try for the time being.

“Are you trying to refine a Reincarnation Pill?” At that moment, the mustached man suddenly asked with a grin.

Ethan was somewhat surprised, “You know about the Reincarnation Pill?”

The man proudly said, “I’ve been traveling everywhere for years, and I’ve dealt with hundreds of tombs like this. What could I not know?”

Having said that, the man paused for a moment before adding with a grin, “Not only do I know about the Reincarnation Pill, but I also have the required ingredients. If you’re willing, you can exchange that bronze mirror with me. What do you think?”
