"Dead, dead?"

Looking at Gagarin's corpse, which was completely lifeless, Charlie and the others still felt as if they were dreaming, seemingly unable to believe for a long time that such a terrifyingly powerful King-level fighter just died mysteriously.

"Of course he's dead! Dead and can't be deader..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was the one who personally killed Gagarin, so he naturally knew whether Gagarin was still alive...

Moreover, no living person can pretend to be dead under such a curse... The pain, the torture, is beyond what a human can endure, not even imaginable, surpassing human limits.

"Really dead... this thing is too terrifying!"

Charlie and the others naturally believed Qin Fang's words, and since Gagarin indeed showed no signs of movement, they spoke with lingering fear, looking at those lingering black gases, not daring to approach Gagarin's corpse easily.

However, Qin Fang was not too concerned about those mysterious black gases. He took a step forward, and the black gases seemed to retreat rapidly as if they were hit hard, their color also faded significantly.

At this moment, Qin Fang did not intend to pursue the victory, but just squatted down to tidy up Gagarin's corpse...

To be precise, Qin Fang came to pick up items!

Gagarin didn't have a magical Props Box like Qin Fang. The treasures he had were stored close to his body, and now that he was dead, naturally, his treasures were for Qin Fang to accept with a smile...

"A gourd... Yiqi Pills? This is good stuff..."

First, he found a small gourd from Gagarin's body, pulled out the plug, and smelled a rich medicinal fragrance, which made Qin Fang's eyes light up instantly, and he couldn't help but praise.

Yiqi Pills are a top-level elixir higher than Cultivating Yuan Pills, with the addition of some Spiritual Medicine. Its medicinal effect is not much different from genuine Spiritual Medicine... It's an excellent elixir for breaking through to the Great Grandmaster realm.

"Oh, poor guy..."

Gagarin was obviously knowledgeable, specifically kept this small gourd close to his body, probably intending to use it immediately to break through the Great Grandmaster realm after leaving the underground palace... Unfortunately, he planned everything except for dying at Qin Fang's hands.

Now, the Yiqi Pills he painstakingly acquired became Qin Fang's spoils...

"Originally thought I would need to waste an Azure Dragon Pill to break through, but this bottle of Yiqi Pills came just in time..."

Qin Fang directly kept the gourd of Yiqi Pills, whispering excitedly to himself, "Even if this gourd of Yiqi Pills isn't enough to break through, it can at least solidify my foundation, making it easier!"

This was inevitable; Qin Fang's physique was too special. The accumulation needed for a breakthrough was several times or even ten times more than others...

Just the gourd of Yiqi Pills in Qin Fang's hand might help three Grandmaster-level peak experts cross into the Great Grandmaster realm, but even if he consumes them all, he might not successfully break through.

Fortunately, Qin Fang wasn't anxious. His strength could accumulate slowly, and now he's only at the Grandmaster mid-stage peak, already invincible below the Great Grandmaster level. If he accumulates long enough at the Grandmaster peak, his strength might not be much weaker than a Great Grandmaster-level expert.

Therefore, Qin Fang hadn't decided how to distribute this gourd of Yiqi Pills yet; he planned to consider it slowly after leaving the underground palace...

After throwing the gourd of Yiqi Pills into the Props Box, Qin Fang continued to search Gagarin's corpse. He didn't think there was only this treasure; there must be other treasures... After a short while, Qin Fang found a bead emitting strange starry glimmers from Gagarin's pocket.

"This is... a Di Yin Bead!"

Looking at this very strange bead, when Qin Fang's Scouting Skill fed back the result, Qin Fang's eyes almost popped out, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for quite a while.

"Damn, fortunately, this guy didn't know what this bead was used for, or else..."

Thinking of this, Qin Fang couldn't help but feel a burst of fear, but more so felt fortunate... lucky for good luck, for Gagarin not being a Dragon Country person, for Gagarin not knowing what this bead was.

The Di Yin Bead is an extremely vicious hidden weapon, rumored to be made from the Di Yin Flames of the San Yin Absolute Land combined with several poisons, similar to an ancient version of a bomb... But its power is more terrifying than modern TNT explosives!

Although TNT is very dangerous and its explosive power is quite striking, for martial artists, the threat is not particularly great. Firstly, martial artists can escape at the fastest speed, and secondly, the protective Gang Qi of great grandmaster-level experts can withstand most of the explosion's impact...

However, the explosion of the Di Yin Beads releases the extremely sinister Di Yin Flames, a mysterious fire that can easily burn through protective Gang Qi. Once caught, it's really like maggots on the bone, impossible to get rid of.

Directly drinking a blade to commit suicide might spare oneself some suffering... Otherwise, the consequences might not be much easier than what Gagarin suffered from the backlash of African Dark Witchcraft. These Di Yin Flames begin to burn directly inside the human body!

If the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect make people defenseless, and paired with poison, they are invincible... then wherever the Di Yin Beads are placed among the top three of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons!

In fact, one of Tang Sect's Ten Great Hidden Weapons, Thunderfire Bombs, was invented by referencing the Di Yin Beads. However, Thunderfire Bombs focus more on the use of gunpowder's power, far less terrifying than the Di Yin Flames unleashed by the Di Yin Beads!

"I wonder if using this Di Yin Bead to set a trap for a great grandmaster-level expert would have any chance of success?"

Qin Fang muttered silently in his heart.

The Di Yin Bead is a weapon of ambush, more terrifying than the Peacock Feather or Storm Pear Blossom in Qin Fang's possession. The only drawback is that it's a one-time killer weapon; once used, it's completely gone, unlike Tang Sect's hidden weapons, which Qin Fang can repair and reuse through his Repair Skill.

But precisely because this Di Yin Bead is so frightening and there's only one, it must be used at the most suitable time, which makes Qin Fang's possession of it worthwhile... This artifact had long been lost but unexpectedly found in this underground palace.

The more Qin Fang understood the terror of the Di Yin Bead, the more he felt lucky about his good fortune...

Gagarin, although he had obtained this Di Yin Bead early on, only knew it was an extraordinary and precious treasure; he had no idea of its true identity or function...

Otherwise, simply tossing one Di Yin Bead just now would have meant Qin Fang couldn't expect any good days ahead...

Certainly, the Di Yin Bead has been lost for so long that only a few disciples of thousand-year sects could recognize it. Among those entering the underground palace this time, whether they are from the Hand of the Devil Mercenary Corps or the Six Major Chinese Clans, few are likely to identify the Di Yin Bead.

"Perhaps, this is just fate..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter to himself, all calculations ultimately benefiting Qin Fang... Who let him have the Scouting Skill, capable of detecting the true identity and use of this Di Yin Bead?

Of course, Qin Fang was even more grateful that he hadn't detonated this Di Yin Bead...

If that had happened, Gagarin would indeed have died without a grave, but Qin Fang would definitely have been implicated as well. This Di Yin Bead doesn't have eyes, and unless there's prior awareness, the outcome would be quite dire.

"There's still one more..."

Carefully placing the Di Yin Bead deep in the Props Box, Qin Fang resumed searching Gagarin's body with caution, discovering something yet again, "This guy really collected quite a bit!"

Qin Fang and his group, having entered much earlier than Gagarin and with the help of puppet people, only collected six treasures.

Unexpectedly, Gagarin, entering much later with limited skilled subordinates and even rushing to the fourth layer of the underground palace, secured as many as three treasures in such a short time, which justified Qin Fang's complaints.

Presumably, for these three treasures, Gagarin sent out numerous troops as cannon fodder; probably no less than thirty or fifty, at least a dozen...

"No matter, the more enemies die, the better..."

Qin Fang couldn't be bothered with such matters; even if they're cannon fodder, it's the Hand of the Devil's people, having nothing to do with Qin Fang.

"This is... a precious treasure indeed!"

Qin Fang focused with interest on this third treasure; upon close examination, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but murmur, "I thought this thing no longer existed, but didn't expect..."

"Thankfully, it fell into my hands, otherwise... it really would have gone to waste!"

Qin Fang cautiously stored this book, tentatively called "book," with utmost care, fearing someone might damage it... Even the creases made by Gagarin were smoothed out with great attention.

"Thousand Mechanisms Manual... This is the foremost secret treasure of the Thousand Gate!"

Once this "book" safely rested in Qin Fang's Props Box, he sighed softly with emotion, "Even though it's just a copy, it's still the Thousand Mechanisms Manual..."

If the Thousand Mechanisms Manual were to appear in the world, it would undoubtedly incite the frenzied snatching by all Thousand Gates acolytes. Whomever possessed it would effectively hold the most crucial emblem of the Thousand Gate!(To be continued.
