Zhang Ergou continued to sweep the medicinal dregs around the alchemy furnace, ignoring Lin Yueru, who had walked away.
Suddenly, Zhang Ergou felt a tremor in the spiritual fire within him.
Hmm? Strange!
Zhang Ergou's eyes narrowed, as if something was attracting the spiritual fire within him.
This was very similar to the situation when he encountered Gui Qiang Tian Wen in the Precious Artifact Pavilion. The spiritual fire became restless, and Zhang Ergou's heart stirred.
Could there be another treasure?
Zhang Ergou rejoiced and slowly moved his feet, following the guidance of the spiritual fire. Strangely, the direction the spiritual fire indicated was inside the alchemy furnace.
Driven by curiosity, Zhang Ergou approached the alchemy furnace, which was over three feet tall. The internal space was more than enough to accommodate an adult.
Zhang Ergou flipped over and jumped into the alchemy furnace. He wiped away the black ash from the bottom of the furnace and touched it, finding that it seemed to be inscribed with characters.
Subconsciously, Zhang Ergou summoned his spiritual fire, just to see what these characters were. As the spiritual fire was released, it instantly illuminated the interior of the alchemy furnace.
Under the glow of the spiritual fire, Zhang Ergou discovered that the bottom of the alchemy furnace was densely covered with mysterious characters the size of tadpoles. Upon closer inspection, he couldn't recognize a single one.
These ancient characters exuded a sense of vastness, as if they had experienced tens of thousands of years, and an ancient aura rushed towards him.
Roar!
Roar!
Suddenly, Zhang Ergou vaguely heard a beast's roar, and a powerful sense of oppression followed.
Frowning slightly, Zhang Ergou reached out to touch the dense characters. As he touched them, a strange thing happened: the ancient characters actually moved.
They slowly moved along the inner wall of the alchemy furnace. In an instant, as if in unison, these characters emitted a dazzling light.
It made Zhang Ergou involuntarily close his eyes.
The characters moved faster and faster, then detached from the inner wall of the alchemy furnace and began to rotate around Zhang Ergou.
These ancient characters spun rapidly around Zhang Ergou, finally transforming into a beam of light that shot into Zhang Ergou's forehead.
Ah!
With a scream, Zhang Ergou clutched his forehead and fainted on the spot.
The inner hall of the Precious Elixir Pavilion fell silent again.
After Lin Yueru returned from outside, she entered the inner hall and glanced at the alchemy furnace. Not finding Zhang Ergou, she assumed he had already left.
Without a word, Lin Yueru walked directly into the side hall.
Inside the alchemy furnace, Zhang Ergou lay curled up quietly at the bottom. At this moment, his soul had been taken into a wondrous space.
"Where is this?" Zhang Ergou stared at the scene before him, dumbfounded.
In his sight, immortal mist swirled, mountains towered, and the ancient land exuded a desolate aura. It was boundless and incredibly mysterious.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
A strange sound echoed, and Zhang Ergou felt the earth tremble.
Looking up abruptly, Zhang Ergou saw a magnificent and towering figure slowly approaching. The sound that made the earth tremble was the footsteps of this towering figure.
The figure was bare-chemed, with eyes like torches. One eye was as large as a fist. His long black hair cascaded to his waist, flowing with the wind. His entire body was filled with explosive muscles.
"Is this a person?" Zhang Ergou muttered to himself, his eyes wide with shock as he looked at the humanoid monster before him.
Clang!
With every step the person took, Zhang Ergou was filled with immense shock. To Zhang Ergou's astonished gaze, the person finally planted his foot and stood motionless.
The figure was as imposing as a mountain, standing there like a majestic barrier.
The torrent of time flowed, days and nights alternated, spring turned to autumn. It was unknown how long the person had stood there. Time carved streaks on his body, yet he remained motionless for a long time.
Finally, the person moved. His eyes snapped open, and two beams of light, as if tangible, shot from his eyes.
Then, his body began to change at a visible speed. Bolts of lightning coiled around his body's surface. Even more curiously, Zhang Ergou saw dragon patterns appearing on his body.
"Xuanlong Jue!" the person roared, taking a step forward and fiercely swinging his arm, striking the void with a palm.
Roar!
A dragon's roar shook the heavens. The person unleashed a massive dragon shadow with his palm, which roared and soared into the sky.
Rumble!
In an instant, the world changed color, dark clouds gathered, and the colossal dragon shadow shattered the void. The heavens and earth trembled.
"So overbearing!" Zhang Ergou stared wide-eyed at everything before him.
The profound space then slowly dissipated, and a vast amount of information surged into Zhang Ergou's mind.
The "Xuanlong Jue" that the giant had just performed was imprinted in his mind as if playing on a loop, each time delivering a shock to his soul.
After a long while, Zhang Ergou slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the alchemy furnace.
"Xuanlong Jue!" Zhang Ergou murmured to himself. This vast and overbearing technique had remained in his mind. Such an encounter was truly rare.
Zhang Ergou stood up and looked at the inner wall of the alchemy furnace again. The densely packed characters were gone, leaving it smooth as if nothing had happened.
"Heh heh, it seems Little Master has once again been favored by heaven and obtained this Xuanlong Jue." Zhang Ergou patted his head and chuckled.
Clearly, Zhang Ergou was genuinely delighted by this fortunate encounter.
"Eh? I wonder if Old Man Qiao knows about the inscriptions on the inner wall of this alchemy furnace?"
Zhang Ergou suddenly thought that Qiao Yanyun used this alchemy furnace daily to refine elixirs. Had he not noticed the anomaly of the alchemy furnace?
Or was it his spiritual fire that caused the Xuanlong Jue to manifest? If that were the case, he had made an enormous profit.
Speculating wildly, Zhang Ergou flipped out of the alchemy furnace.
Finding the surroundings quiet and deserted, Zhang Ergou ran out of the Precious Elixir Pavilion and dashed all the way to the back mountain of Chunyang Peak.
He arrived at his previously hidden secret spot. After confirming that no one was around, Zhang Ergou nodded.
He sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend the Xuanlong Jue technique in his mind.
The Xuanlong Jue flowed through his mind again.
While comprehending, Zhang Ergou continued to be awed by this technique.
The Xuanlong Jue was not only overbearing but also had extremely stringent requirements for the physical body of the practitioner.
Due to its extreme power, only those with extremely strong physiques could wield it; otherwise, their blood vessels would rupture.
"As expected, not everyone can casually cultivate this!"
He thought to himself. Fortunately, the Heavenly Phoenix Body Refining technique had strengthened his physique, otherwise, he could only gaze at this overbearing technique and sigh in vain.
"I wonder what level of power the Xuanlong Jue I can unleash with my current physical strength."
Zhang Ergou immediately stood up and took a deep breath.
The Xuanlong Jue technique was activated, and streaks of electricity floated on Zhang Ergou's arm.
Then, an overbearing force generated from within him. Even with his current physical strength, he felt a slight pain.
"Xuanlong Jue!" Zhang Ergou shouted, unleashing a palm strike.
Roar!
A dragon's roar sounded, and a visible dragon shadow roared, engulfing the surrounding trees and debris into a vortex.
Boom! Su Dan Novel Network
A cliff several feet away was actually collapsed by his palm strike.
At this moment, Zhang Ergou's face turned pale, and he nearly fell to the ground.
