The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

Chapter 998 - 998: The Treasure in the Box

The three from the Shi Family left, and Zhao Yi frowned and asked, "Brother Xuan, I always feel that the Shi Family has other intentions in working with us.""That's for sure. In the short term, their intention is to share part of the relic pearls' cultivation techniques and elixirs, and in the long term, they are betting on me, thinking that once I defeat the Celestial Dao Alliance and unify the Martial Realm, the Shi Family will be one of the strongest families. If it were you, you'd have the same intention!"

Seeing Liu Zixuan with a calm demeanor: "Seems like you've already figured it out."

"If I couldn't figure out this much, I would've been sold and still counted the money for others long ago!"

Liu Zixuan shrugged: "Forget about the Shi Family, the Celestial Dao Alliance is the main issue."

"Brother Xuan, I still have to say something." Zhao Yi sat next to Liu Zixuan and lit a cigarette, puffing out smoke: "Do you think when the Shi Family left the Celestial Dao Alliance, it was arranged by the Willow Association's patriarch on purpose? To have the Shi Family infiltrate us!"

Liu Zixuan chuckled at these words: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Earlier, the Celestial Dao Alliance sent people to lure us away and targeted you with the Gu Corpse, but the Shi Family didn't make any moves, and then they just suddenly showed up today. Doesn't it seem suspicious?" Zhao Yi asked seriously.

"Are you suggesting they're trying to get all of us to the Southwest and let the Celestial Dao Alliance capture us all at once?" Liu Zixuan asked.

Zhao Yi nodded: "Exactly!"

"No, they wouldn't be that stupid."

Liu Zixuan waved his hand: "First, our open strength can already rival the Celestial Dao Alliance; the Shi Family can definitely distinguish what's beneficial. Second, if they really wanted to use the relic pearls to harm us, why not choose Qian Nan as the location, which would make it easier to act?"

"You do have a point when you put it that way, I hope I'm just overthinking!" Zhao Yi scratched his head and said.

"You're not overthinking." Liu Zixuan's eyes suddenly glinted: "What you just said reminded me that the Shi Family's cooperation with us isn't just for those two reasons; there should be others!"

Zhao Yi turned his head, his expression instantly becoming odd: "You just dismissed my idea, and now you agree?"

Liu Zixuan touched his chin, "Let's not talk about this. What's certain is that for this relic pearl matter, the Shi Family won't harm us; it's just their motivation for cooperating with us that's suspicious."

"Alright, as long as you're clear about it, since you're the core figure here!" Zhao Yi said.

"The Celestial Dao Alliance won't deploy all their forces, and we can't all leave either, so we need to leave some people to guard here." Liu Zixuan thought for a moment: "Let Xiaoxiao and Xiaobin stay, you come with Lianyi and Xiao Hu."

"Are you sure you want sister-in-law Lianyi to go too?" Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow.

"At crucial moments, her Ghost Doctor Skills are much more useful than our cultivation techniques. As for Xiaoxiao, she shouldn't go out for now, and besides, Yunxuan and Huzi are about to return, leaving them here to guard the rear is no problem."

"And the Shi Family..."

"Anyone from the Shi Family can stay, but I'm definitely making their patriarch go, using this chance to probe their true intentions." Liu Zixuan said and then suddenly remembered something and stood up: "Let's go back and rest early. We have to go over tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!"

Liu Zixuan sent Zhao Yi off and then directly returned to Ye Lianyi's room.

Ye Lianyi was sitting on the bed playing on her phone, and when she saw him return, she asked, "How's the Shi Family side?"

Liu Zixuan briefly recounted what had just happened, as he carried the box he had taken from the Seven-Star Tomb to the table.

"Is this the stuff from the Seven-Star Tomb?" Ye Lianyi leaned in with a curious face and asked.

"Yes. I just came back and had to deal with the Gu Corpse situation, so I haven't had the chance to see what it is."

Click!

A crisp sound, and Liu Zixuan immediately opened the box.

What first caught the eye was a piece of silk fabric, faintly inscribed with some words and patterns, which Liu Zixuan picked up and looked at: "Looks like an array map, but this is the first time I've seen such an array map, it doesn't look like either a defensive or offensive one!"

"Aren't arrays supposed to be nothing but defensive and offensive?" Ye Lianyi asked in confusion.

"That's what's puzzling!"

Liu Zixuan shrugged and placed the silk aside, then looked inside the box again, finding two boxes, one large and one small.

The large one was as wide and long as an A4 sheet of paper, while the small one was only as wide and long as a finger.

He raised his eyebrows: "Really two boxes of different styles, huh."

"Hurry and open them to see what's inside!" Ye Lianyi, like a curious baby, lay on Liu Zixuan's shoulder, her bright eyes fixed on the two boxes.

Pop!

The bigger box was opened, initially expecting some elixirs or secret cultivation manuals, but seeing what was inside left Liu Zixuan and Ye Lianyi slightly disappointed.

It was a set of Go pieces, the inside of the box was divided into two sections, each containing over a hundred black and white pieces.

"Could it be a Go set used by the tomb master before?" Ye Lianyi frowned.

"Though the Seven-Star Tomb is a tomb within a tomb, speaking only of the Seven-Star Tomb, it is a masterless tomb, so this Go set is definitely not for playing." Liu Zixuan said, as he also opened the smaller box.

But seeing its contents caused both him and Ye Lianyi to exclaim with joy!

"It's the Ghost Gate Needle!" Ye Lianyi exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the Heaven and Earth Silver Needle from the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles!" Liu Zixuan muttered.

Profound Spirit, Profound Cloud, Profound Clarity, Profound Thunder, Profound Yang, Profound Yin, Qian, Kun, Heaven and Earth, Nether Spirit, Ghost Research, Ghost Walk, Ghost Venerable, these make up the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.

Previously, Liu Zixuan had already acquired the Ghost Gate Needles of Profound Spirit, Profound Cloud, Profound Clarity, Profound Thunder, Profound Yang, Profound Yin, Qian, Kun, Nether Spirit, and Ghost Walk. Now with the appearance of the Heaven and Earth Ghost Gate Needle, it means he's only missing the most mysterious Ghost Research and Ghost Venerable from having all thirteen.

Of course, currently, Liu Zixuan doesn't have that many, since the Ghost Gate Needles of Profound Yang and Profound Yin have already been taken by Venerable Ghost Nether.

"It seems that there is always a divine arrangement because if Venerable Ghost Nether used Yin Yang Ghost Gate Needles against me, I might have been at a disadvantage, but now with the Heaven and Earth Ghost Gate Needle, it can counter the Profound Yin and Profound Yang!"

"Do the Ghost Gate Needles counter each other?" Ye Lianyi asked.

"Of course, everything has mutual creation and restriction. When the thirteen Ghost Gate Needles are combined, their power is terrifying, but some of them do counteract each other. After all, the heavens do not allow invincibility to exist!" Liu Zixuan smiled.

"With the current Ghost Gate Needles, you're already invincible in the same realm. I can't imagine what it'll be like when you gather all the Ghost Gate Needles..."
