112: :Living figurine of good fortune

"Hiss, what in the world is this stinky fart divine egg?" Lin Xiao said speechlessly, looking at the System's reward options.

Then, ignoring the System, he directly opened the coffin in front of him.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for a successful selection! You have received a High-tier Sacred Artifact: stinky fart divine egg x1!"

The System's voice fell.

Boom!!!

With a loud bang, the moment the coffin was opened, Spiritual Qi gushed out from within.

But just as Lin Xiao thought the coffin contained a Saint's corpse, the scene that appeared before him instantly stunned him.

Because it wasn't a Saint's corpse or remnants of one.

Instead, it was a living person, a living old man.

His age was indiscernible, but his aura felt ancient, and he was so thin he was skin and bones.

"What the hell is going on? Is this a zombie?" Lin Xiao said, bewildered, looking at the scene before him.

He was about to pick up the coffin lid and close the coffin again.

But just as Lin Xiao was about to close the coffin, the old man inside suddenly opened his eyes.

"Cough, cough." He coughed once, slowly sat up from the coffin, and met Lin Xiao's gaze.

The zombie old man: "..."

Lin Xiao: "..."

"Hello, Senior, how are you?" Lin Xiao said with an awkward yet polite smile, even throwing in a foreign phrase.

The zombie old man: "..."

Lin Xiao: "..."

"Doesn't he understand? Or is he mute?" Lin Xiao thought, feeling a bit speechless.

Then, he didn't bother to speak anymore and directly closed the coffin lid.

Crack!

After the coffin was closed, Lin Xiao was about to leave.

But just as he took his first step, the recently closed coffin suddenly let out a huge sound.

Bang!!!

Immediately after, the coffin lid flew off again.

Lin Xiao was somewhat bewildered.

Lin Xiao: "???"

He looked back and saw that the old man from the coffin had, at some unknown point, walked out of it, now staring blankly at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao felt a chill down his spine and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Um... Senior, is there something you need?" Lin Xiao asked.

The zombie old man: "..."

"Damn, he's not speaking again." Lin Xiao thought, speechless.

He wanted to leave this cursed place quickly but didn't dare to act rashly.

Because even though the old man in front of him, who looked like he was about to die, had an incredibly weak aura,

Lin Xiao could still clearly sense that this person's cultivation had reached the Saint Realm, and he was not someone he could contend with.

If it was a one-on-one fight, he would definitely not be his opponent.

Moreover, the place where Lin Xiao was currently located was still the Xiao Family's territory.

If he accidentally attracted the people outside the Xiao Family, it would be troublesome.

And so, the two stood in a silent stalemate for a moment.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Yan, who was also preparing to raid the Xiao Family's ancestral tomb,

After a very, very long time, finally broke through all the Restrictions set by the Xiao Family and entered their underground palace.

Just as he was about to execute his evil tomb-robbing plan, he had just broken through the outer wall of the underground palace.

Upon entering the underground palace, he saw the two currently in a stalemate.

"Lin Xiao, why are you here?"

"Xiao Yan, why are you here?" The two shouted simultaneously.

Xiao Yan, who had just entered the underground palace, naturally also attracted the attention of the zombie old man.

And so, Xiao Yan, who had just entered the underground palace, also fell into this stalemate.

The two looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Um, Xiao Yan, aren't you an Anomalous Fire Physique? Try burning him with your Anomalous Fire." After a long time, Lin Xiao spoke first, breaking the stalemate.

After his observation during this period, Lin Xiao strongly suspected that the zombie old man in front of him was not human at all, but a Puppet, a Saint Realm Puppet.

It was just that the main Materials used to create this Puppet were a Saint's body.

"Damn it, why don't you go yourself? I'm only at King Sealing Realm First Stage, I'm still a child!" Xiao Yan shouted, somewhat comically.

Lin Xiao: "..."

"This kid, why is he so silly?" Lin Xiao thought internally, preparing to act himself.

But just as Lin Xiao was about to activate the Great Destruction Art, Old Ancestor Lin Changqing's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Xiao'er, wait a moment, don't act yet!"

"Why?" Lin Xiao said, stunned, looking at Old Ancestor Lin Changqing who suddenly appeared before him.

Old Ancestor Lin Changqing then looked at Xiao Yan, and after a long moment ofstunned, he slowly began to explain.

"This is the Xiao Family's living corpse of fortune. If you attack him, the Xiao Family members will discover that we are digging up their ancestral tomb immediately, and it won't be so easy to leave then," Old Ancestor Lin Changqing said.

"living corpse of fortune, what is that?" Lin Xiao asked, puzzled.

He had read countless books in this world, and it seemed none of them recorded this thing called a living corpse of fortune.

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Old Ancestor Lin Changqing was about to answer.

But before he could speak, Xiao Yan beside him interrupted.

"The so-called living corpse of fortune is created by injecting the power of supreme Luck into a dead person's body, then sealing it and placing it in a place filled with the power of Luck for preservation."

"In such a special environment, the power of Luck can produce a miraculous Fusion with the corpse, and this corpse is called a living corpse of fortune."

"Due to the issue of time, this Fusion process is extremely slow, possibly lasting millions or even tens of millions of years."

"But once this Fusion process is complete, this so-called living corpse of fortune can achieve the effect of resurrection from the dead," Xiao Yan explained.

He had just finished speaking, but as if afraid Lin Xiao hadn't understood, he continued to explain.

"As for why this living corpse of fortune seems a bit foolish, it might be because you released him from the coffin prematurely."

"So even though he has revived, his intelligence is still like that of a child, without a clear understanding of anything."

"But despite this, the Xiao Family's power of Luck still resides within him."

"So, Son of God Lin Xiao, if you were to act against him now, the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor would likely discover it immediately and rush here to fight us to the death."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he looked at Old Ancestor Lin Changqing beside him, as if asking if what he said was correct.

"Hahahaha, young man, you're quite young, but you know a lot," Old Ancestor Lin Changqing said with a smile, looking at Xiao Yan, a look of appreciation on his face.

Most of these things were ancient secrets; for Xiao Yan to know so much at his age was already quite remarkable.

"So, you're saying we just do our thing and ignore him, and everything will be fine?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Looking at the other secret chambers around, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If that was the case, then he could just go ahead and do it.

Loot all the Xiao Family's possessions, move them all out, burn them all down.

Then, when leaving, just touch this so-called living corpse of fortune, and it would be enough to directly infuriate those damn dogs of the Xiao Family to death.

The scene, just thinking about it, was somewhat exciting.
