The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity Chapter 228 - 225 Greed Soul

"Old Li, save ."

The voice from within the crevice sounded familiar to Old Li.

He courageously peered further inside and discovered a person trapped under the rocks, his face dusty and barely recognizable as his companion.

The man in the suit was crushed under the rocks, his suit already torn, covered in dust and fresh blood.

While gasping for air, he said to Old Li, "Save , and I’ll give you the money bag! I still have an important secret about the money bag that I haven’t told anyone."

Old Li initially didn’t want to save him; he had considered the man in the suit a friend, but the man in the suit had planned to use them all as bait and keep the money bag for himself!

"The money inside the bag never runs out! You can always pull out gold from it!"

Old Li appeared stunned, not quite understanding what was ant.

Seeing no reaction from him, the man in the suit struggled to pull out the money bag, shook it towards Old Li’s direction, and gold of various sizes poured out noisily.

"Look, the gold inside never runs out. If you save , I’ll give you the money bag, and I won’t keep a single piece of gold!"

Old Li’s expression instantly lit up with excitent, and he hurriedly picked up the gold.

"Okay, okay, I can save you!"

After collecting the gold, Old Li snatched the money bag from the man’s hand, tucked it inside the inner pocket of his coat, and then stared oddly at the man for a long ti.

He hesitated whether or not to save the man in the suit, now that he had already gotten the money bag.

Seeing how weak the man appeared, his breath faint, a rare sense of kindness flashed through Old Li’s heart, deciding to rescue him, unable to be cruel.

"I can save you, but you must not tell anyone about the money bag."

"I definitely won’t tell! Just save , and I don’t want any gold!"

Satisfied, Old Li began to move the rocks.

But he couldn’t move them alone and had to call Ye Qian from afar.

Before finding Ye Qian, Old Li scattered so of the gold back into the crevice.

Old Li’s eyes shifted as he said to Ye Qian, "I found Qu Chunbin alive, buried under the rocks. There’s a lot of gold where he’s buried. We can save him together and split the gold."

Ye Qian’s dim eyes suddenly brightened, "What about his money bag?"

"It got lost during the escape," Old Li showed a look of regret, "But there’s a lot of gold around him, worth tens of thousands, every bit counts."

"Okay, let’s go save him!"

Ye Qian then got up and together with Old Li, they approached to move the rocks.

As they walked over, Old Li felt a sinister and evil gaze on him, making his scalp tingle and his feet go cold, but looking around, there was no living creature.

He suddenly rembered the pair of blood-red, eerie eyes he saw in the crevice.

Old Li’s heart skipped a beat, he stopped, and looked into the dim crevice, but there were no eerie eyes, just Qu Chunbin in a bloodied suit.

"Must be my old eyes playing tricks."

Old Li muttered and then caught up with Ye Qian’s pace.

Ye Qian, seeing the gold in the crevice, was overjoyed and cooperated in moving the rocks.

Furthermore, if the rocks weren’t moved, they wouldn’t know if there was any gold left inside.

-

Qin Zhao first strengthened the seal, and then they left from another direction, but it was a bit too late. The speed of the tomb’s collapse exceeded their expectations.

At that ti, they were just near the main burial chamber.

Collapses occurred all over the tomb, but the main burial chamber remained completely still.

They took refuge in the main burial chamber; the exterior was a complete ss, but the main burial chamber was not affected at all.

Previously, Old Li had locked Qin Zhao and Shangguan Qiu in here. Near the bones of a high monk, Qin Zhao found two stalks of Earth Soul Grass, enough for her to refine Soul Reviving Pills.

Now, staying here again, there seed to be nothing to worry about.

Qin Zhao and Shangguan Qiu walked around the main burial chamber and looked at the high monk’s burial goods.

Earlier, in their rush to leave, they had only taken the Earth Soul Grass and had not touched any other burial goods.

"Can we take these?"

Shangguan Qiu asked Qin Zhao. The burial goods were quite impressive magic artifacts. For ordinary people, keeping these at ho would ward off evil and bring protection.

And for them, as Heavenly Masters, the artifacts were even more useful.

Qin Zhao thought about the inscription, "Didn’t he say that he would give these to whover ca here?"

"Then I will take a few items and then go thank Master Jinghui."

Jinghui was the high monk’s monastic na.

Shangguan Qiu selected a few magic artifacts, and just as he was about to thank Master Jinghui, he noticed that more text had appeared on the stone stele.

"Qin Zhao! The text here has changed."

Chu Yan had been looking at the inscription on the stone stele and asked in surprise, "How has it changed?"

"There wasn’t this much before; there were only three lines."

Qin Zhao ca over to see. "Yes, when we first ca here, there were only three lines on the stele. I was wondering why they used such a large stone for so few words."

The stele was almost as tall as a person.

Now, the Sanskrit text filled the stone.

Chu Yan, who knew Sanskrit, had already read the content on the stele.

"It says that creatures like the Swallowing Elephant feed on greed. The more greed n have, the more powerful it becos. When it first appeared, it wreaked havoc across the land, even possessing humans, bewildering their minds, and gradually consuming their flesh and souls.

The more souls it consud, the more powerful the Swallowing Elephant beca, and its thoughts of massacre grew more severe.

Although they were disciples of the Buddhist path, void of greed, they still paid a heavy price in their demon-slaying efforts, and he had to sacrifice himself to suppress the Swallowing Elephant here.

Over ti, the power of the Swallowing Elephant would weaken and eventually fade.

Should the Swallowing Elephant nearly escape, the tomb will collapse, burying it under the ground forever. But this is not the safest thod, because the Swallowing Elephant’s most formidable aspect is not its physical body, but its greed soul.

As long as the greed soul exists, the Swallowing Elephant could be immortal and exist forever!

The greed soul can leave the body and inhabit any greedy vessel, gradually strengthening itself with greed, and then regenerating a new body.

A freshly escaped greed soul is extrely weak and needs ti to grow. If the greed soul escapes, Master Jinghui hopes that those who read this inscription can eliminate the Swallowing Elephant as soon as possible."

Qin Zhao, after listening, rubbed her chin and thought for a while.

"So the collapse of the tomb is to prevent the physical body of the Swallowing Elephant from escaping."

Shangguan Qiu said, "With such a fierce collapse, that greed soul should also find it difficult to escape, right? Especially since you reinforced the seal on the entrance."

"But we don’t know if other openings have appeared. With such a severe collapse, if any small cracks occurred elsewhere, a soul, being inherently incorporeal, could still easily escape, after all, it’s not limited by a physical body."
