Chapter 278 Sphinx_2
Zhongcheng Hall, Wannian Feng, Medicine Immortal Pavilion?
Which of these organizations is not well-known?
Even they are interested in this person, and he continues to sell Immortal Pills without oppression?
The old man has traveled through Jianghu a lot and naturally knows the methods of these major families and powerful organizations.
To these powers, defeating them once is nothing.
The foundation of the great families is very solid; they have many ways.
Defeat them once, they can send out a second time, defeat them a second time, still have the third, fourth, fifth time.
Only when they feel despair and even worry about the risk of extermination will they truly be finished.
Major families have never regarded themselves as human; they see themselves as lofty gods.
Thinking of this, cold sweat already appeared on the old ghost's body, and he couldn't help but approach Lin Beichen, cautiously saying:
"Young Master Lin, my earlier offense was excessive. Thank you for sparing my life. Furthermore, I have a treasure here, please take a look..."
Lin Beichen heard this and put down the teacup, looking at the other party.
"If what you have is still money, then there's no need to waste time."
Lin Beichen said faintly, his eyes full of helplessness.
"I don't kill you because I am kind, but because you are not even worth my effort."
Lin Beichen likes to speak the truth. Truth can save the time for random guessing.
This old man blabbering on and on, if it were before, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
However, in recent times, his enlightenment deepened, and he no longer cared about general noise.
The old man heard this, sighed bitterly.
Although not the biggest warlord in Africa, he had made considerable connections with local major warlords due to the Dragon Country's bloodline.
Local warlords are not Immortals; to maintain their dominance, they naturally need various resources.
And Dragon Country's various industrial products, infrastructure capabilities, even exported weaponry, are all urgently needed items.
Anything treated as waste in Dragon Country would be money on African soil.
Once upon a time, hundreds of warlords lined up to invite him to meals daily, but now, he had to play the humble role in front of Lin Beichen.
While inwardly lamenting, the old ghost dared not let Lin Beichen wait, directly took out the item.
In his hand, was a Sphinx.
The Sphinx is an emblem of Egypt.
Like the Great Wall, Sanxingdui, even the Terracotta Warriors of Dragon Country.
Pyramids and the Sphinx are the initial symbols Egypt gave to the world.
This Sphinx, however, is very special.
The body is made of gold, with very complex runes engraved on the surface, seemingly possessing magic; a mere glance induces dizziness.
"This thing..."
Lin Beichen was slightly stunned, taking it, closely examining it.
When this item was in the old ghost's hands, the dizziness was slight; when Lin Beichen held it, the dizziness seemed to amplify a hundredfold.
Simultaneously, heavy chanting sounded in his ears.
Hundreds of people in splendid clothes knelt in a magnificent hall, fervently worshipping a statue.
In an instant, Lin Beichen seemed to travel through time, arriving at a desert.
In the boundless sea of sand, stood a hundred-meter golden statue.
This golden statue, wielding a sky-piercing giant blade, roared as though the world was beneath its feet.
At this moment, Lin Beichen suddenly looked down, overwhelming pressure surged, he felt his body being pressured.
Enormous waves hit his body; his feet instantly sank into the sand sea.
"Mortal, kneel."
The golden statue roared, wielding the giant blade towards Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen remained unmoved.
He let the wind and sand batter his body until the blade neared, sighing slowly.
Lin Beichen extended his hand; in his palm, a spark of Spiritual Light gathered.
The Spiritual Light grew as Lin Beichen waved his hand, finally forming a dagger.
Lin Beichen lightly swung, the dagger flew like a nimble bird, cutting through the sky with silver-white light.
Compared to the statue, the bird was a hundredfold smaller, yet this huge disparity produced a starkly different effect.
The bird struck the golden statue, which instantly turned to dust.
The statue disappeared, reverting to a nearly pure white diamond-shaped stone.
With a thud.
Lin Beichen seemed to wake from a trance.
Voices resumed around him, while the golden statue in his hand showed a crack.
"This is..."
Lin Beichen's body slightly trembled, a solemn expression appeared.
The earlier situation was more than mere fantasy.
If Lin Beichen hadn't reached a new height in his Power of the Five Elements Enlightenment.
If he hadn't sensed the connection between heaven and man while observing the stars, he would have been injured!
"This stone seems capable of emitting a magnetic field, absorbing people's faith?"
Lin Beichen stared dumbly at the golden Sphinx.
"Young Master Lin, does this item meet your requirements?"
Seeing Lin Beichen silent, the old ghost grew nervous.
Lin Beichen regained his composure, casually grabbed a porcelain bottle from the table, pushing them all to the old ghost.
"Here are three bottles of Elixirs, a total of 27 pills, plus three Ice Skin Jade Bone Pills, each of which is worth ten others, all yours."
Lin Beichen casually said, still intending to check his backpack.
Seeing this, the old ghost rejoiced, holding the Elixirs, nearly fainting.
"Young Master Lin, there's no need to look further, this is already sufficient."
The old ghost hurriedly said.
Lin Beichen ignored, retrieving another porcelain bottle from his backpack.
This bottle's surface had a faint frost.
As soon as the bottle appeared, the air within five meters of Lin Beichen seemed to drop by ten degrees.
The old ghost shivered, staring dumbly at the bottle in Lin Beichen's hand, even without knowing its contents, he understood one thing.
This Elixir could cause environmental changes, definitely extraordinary.
The old ghost's breathing grew urgent.
"Young Master Lin, can I have this bottle too?"
The old ghost hurriedly asked.
Lin Beichen held the Elixir, silently watching the old ghost.
"This Elixir, I recently refined. It has no name, but I can assure you, consuming it will grant you Divine Power!
Don't mind the nature of this power; it will bring you great wealth! But I have a condition, you must tell me everything about this Sphinx!"
Lin Beichen spoke in one breath, placing the Elixir on the table, quietly watching the old ghost.
He dislikes haggling.
This Ice Element Elixir was refined using Tier Four Power of the Five Elements.
This Elixir contains a wisp of Five Elements Qi, consuming it would definitely push someone to extraordinary levels.
The old ghost was at least 60 years old.
People of this age, with declining vitality, barely had chances to unlock the Genetic Lock, but Lin Beichen could forcibly infuse them with Power of the Five Elements, breaking their bottleneck.
Even for Lin Beichen, this wasn't easy.
But for the Sphinx's secret, he felt it was worth the bet.
The old ghost almost knelt down in excitement.
He didn't expect that an unintentional find of a statue would interest Lin Beichen so much.
Knowing that such statues in Egypt, while not very common, with effort, he could find a dozen.
If he found them all, wouldn't he get a dozen more Immortal Pills?
"Young Master Lin, I'll tell you everything."
The old ghost said excitedly, found a chair to sit, and recalled for a moment before narrating the Sphinx's secret.
From the old ghost's narration, Lin Beichen learned of a hidden story on the Egyptian Continent.
