Chapter 463 - 306: Sudden Change at the Bottom of the Pool_2
Chapter 463: Chapter 306: Sudden Change at the Bottom of the Pool_2There was no obstruction whatsoever.
The film seemed only to hinder the Life Origin of the ghosts.
After briefly contemplating, Xu Yuan stepped down.
The moment his body completely left the Life Origin mucus and entered the secret chamber, Xu Yuan unconsciously furrowed his brow.
Smelly.
Very smelly.
This secret chamber had an age-old stench of decay that seemed impossible to eradicate.
Without stopping, Xu Yuan half-closed his eyes and looked around this millennium-old secret chamber at the bottom of the pool.
The interior of the secret chamber was somewhat different from the simple and cramped layout described in the Cangyuan Chronicles.
In his previous life, this secret chamber only had an alchemy furnace and a stone table, and on that stone table was the antidote for Reversal Ghost Transformation.
But the space of the secret chamber before him was quite vast, about a dozen meters tall and tens of meters in length and width, resembling a broad underground storage, yet this vast "storage" did not contain any goods; instead, it was filled with various alchemy furnaces, jade desks, and some of the precise instruments Xu Yuan had seen in the Prime Minister’s Mansion Geometry Institute.
Several screens hanging from the vaulted ceiling of the secret chamber were now partitioning the vast room into four areas,
After a thousand years, these screens, originally infused with Formation Patterns that provided isolation, had decomposed, allowing Xu Yuan to glimpse the entirety of the secret chamber at a glance,
He could even faintly see the cultivators of the Sects bustling and laughing within this chamber thousands of years ago...
"Da...."
"Da...."
"Da...."
The gentle sound of footsteps echoed in the silent and empty secret chamber,
Frowning, Xu Yuan walked downward, and the blood light seeping in from behind elongated his shadow within the chamber.
As he ventured deeper, Xu Yuan’s gaze gradually shifted from the furnishings and layout to the far wall of the secret chamber.
The wall opposite the entrance of the Blood Pool was somewhat sinister, with many mummified corpses piled up there, huddled together as if in fear of something, and the foul stench of the chamber also emanated from that spot.
Thinking this, Xu Yuan’s gaze drifted sideways.
The left wall had been hollowed out by the humans of ten thousand years ago, the entire wall forged into a multitude of drawers made of jade to store thousands of medicinal herbs, densely packed and seemingly endless at a glance.
The right wall, however, was divided into four cells, each cell carved with extremely intricate Formation Patterns, and each housing a mummified corpse.
Oh no, more precisely, three mummified corpses since one of the cells was empty.
Xu Yuan did not immediately
The vast "Ghostification Experiment Chamber" was cluttered with many desks and tables, and it appeared that due to some mishap, the intricate chaos left many bottles and jars untouched for ten thousand years, making it no easy task to find the antidote from the previous life...
No sooner had the thought occurred to Xu Yuan than he realized he might be worrying unnecessarily.
In the deadly silent chamber, a blood shadow flashed by, and in an instant, Xu Yuan stood before an unremarkable desk.
Atop this desk, a jade bottle was placed quietly.
Through the ghostly senses, this object shone like the sole beacon of light in the darkness.
After ten thousand years, it remained as pristine as new, nurturing within it strands of liquid with traces of vitality.
As Xu Yuan held it in his hand, the milky white substance inside began to wriggle as if it had a life of its own.
Done.
Having acquired the antidote, Xu Yuan didn’t rush to take it, nor was he in a hurry to leave. Instead, he examined the material of the jade bottle and, like picking through trash, found a similar one among the disorderly bottles and jars around—half empty.
After these preparations, Xu Yuan looked at the two bottles of antidote before him, a hint of satisfaction flickering in his eyes.
For reasons unknown, but Luo Xiran seemed to be unaware of the antidote’s existence at the bottom of the blood pool.
After knocking back the antidote, he’d probably have the strength to fight back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion’s floor, but before that, he must either deceive or forcibly feed the milky, viscous antidote to the ghostified queen.
As he pondered, Xu Yuan raised his hand toward the area where the mummified corpses were gathered.
"Boom!!"
Origin Qi surged out, and countless humanoid mummies were shattered, revealing a stone door beneath them.
No misinformation there.
This matched up with Cangyuan Chronicles, where beyond the mounds of dry corpses lay a door that would be revealed once blasted open—the same door he had exited from in the game.
He’d better notify those women above to flee.
Thinking this, with a quiver of Origin Qi around his body, Xu Yuan once again entered the Life Origin plasma.
Back at the bottom of the blood pool, Xu Yuan instinctively wanted to float up.
However, upon seeing the holes on the hexagonal platform, a flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes.
He wanted to try inserting another plug-in into the slot.
After a moment’s thought, Xu Yuan placed his hand directly on the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant that was already slotted in.
Origin Qi flowed, and in an instant, Xu Yuan’s palm attached to the recessed jade pendant like the suckers of an octopus tentacle.
"ber~"
With a faint sound, the jade pendant was successfully removed, and Xu Yuan promptly placed Bai Muxi’s pendant in it.
"....."
"....."
"....."
No reaction.
He waited for a dozen seconds.
Still no reaction.
A trace of uncertainty flashed through Xu Yuan’s eyes.
In his previous life, only Luo Xiran’s Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant had appeared in Cangyuan Chronicles. Could it be that Xiao Bai’s pendant wasn’t meant for this?
"Gurgle... gurgle... gurgle...."
As he mulled it over, several thin bubbles suddenly emerged from the regular angles of the hexagonal platform.
At the sight, excitement flashed in Xu Yuan’s crimson pupils, and he clenched his fist slightly.
Right, there must be something.
"Gurgle.. gurgle.. gurgle.."
With a series of bubbles appearing, along with a faint blood-colored glow, the originally tight-fitting hexagonal platform began to unfold along its edges....
The next moment,
The patterns at the bottom of the pool started to shine a dazzling red, and a tremor akin to an earthquake reverberated.
In the midst of the surrounding changes, Xu Yuan had no time to pay attention as his gaze was fixated on the slowly cracking hexagonal platform.
Within this platform,
a stunningly beautiful woman was sitting cross-legged.
The soaked threads of her decaying fairy dress were dispersing,
revealing her flawless body to Xu Yuan’s eyes,
Her crossed jade legs were long and voluptuous, her abdomen flat, her waist slender as a willow, her figure graceful.
As his gaze moved upward,
and in the moment he saw her face, Xu Yuan’s mind went blank for an instant.
The woman had a beautiful, gentle face, with perfect facial contours, plump yet pale lips, a finely sculpted and pert nose, her eyelids shut tight, with dense and fine lashes trembling gently with the flow of the water.
Luo...
Luo Xiran.
