Chapter 136: Treasure Acquisition, a New Journey
The golden beams intertwined into a net, trapping Yan Yue and Nong Jin tightly.
Behind the palace gate, the old voice said with a hint of teasing: "Young man, you want my treasure? Then let's see if you have what it takes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the beam of light disappeared, replaced by a transparent film that enveloped the palace.
"Oh my god, what the hell is going on?" Yan Yue complained. He reached out to touch the film and felt a tingling sensation at his fingertips, as if he had been shocked by static electricity.
"Hiss—this thing is electrified!"
Nong Jin also touched it tentatively, frowning: "This seems to be some kind of restriction, extremely ancient, I have never seen it before."
The two walked around the film several times, trying to find a way to crack it.
Yan Yue took out various magic weapons and talismans and tried them one by one, but the result was - nothing.
"Is this thing made of iron?!" She was a little crazy. What era is this? Are they still using this outdated restriction?
Nong Jin was calmer. He carefully observed the patterns on the ban, trying to find the pattern in them.
Time passed minute by minute, and the ban remained motionless.
Yan Yue began to get anxious. The treasure was right in front of him but he couldn't get it. It was more painful than eating a fly.
"What should I do? If this continues, all the flowers will wither!" She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
At this moment, Nong Jin suddenly said, "Wait, I think I've figured it out." He pointed to several key points on the restriction, his tone tinged with excitement, "This restriction isn't invulnerable. Look at these points..."
Nong Jin explained his discovery in detail. Yan Yue was stunned. Although he didn't fully understand it, he felt that it was very impressive.
"So, what you mean is..."
"That's right," Nong Jin's eyes flashed with a gleam, "As long as we attack these points at the same time, we can break the restriction!"
The two looked at each other and saw the eagerness in each other's eyes.
Taking a deep breath, they attacked at the same time... However, just when their attack was about to touch the restriction, Yan Yue suddenly had an idea... "Wait!"
Yan Yue suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Wait!" Nong Jin didn't understand what was going on, and his attack stopped in mid-air.
"what happened?"
Yan Yue smiled mysteriously: "I seem to have found something." She pointed to an inconspicuous corner of the ban, where there was a slightly darker pattern. If you didn't look carefully, it would be easily overlooked.
"Look here, does it look like..." She kept it a secret.
Nong Jin followed her finger, frowning. After observing carefully for a moment, his eyes lit up: "It looks like the pattern of the 'Twisting Silk Vine' commonly seen in Medicine Valley! Could it be..."
"Right!" Yan Yue snapped his fingers, his tone excited. "I guess the designer of this restriction was inspired by the silk-wrapped vine. This plant looks weak, but it is actually very resilient and extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations of a specific frequency. If we use ordinary attack methods, it will only trigger its defense mechanism and strengthen the power of the restriction. But if..."
Yan Yue took out a jade flute from her storage bag, which was the one she often used in the Medicine Valley.
"If we use musical attacks, it might have unexpected effects."
Nong Jin looked at her confident look, his eyes full of love and pride.
He said nothing, but just stepped back silently, leaving the stage entirely to Yan Yue.
Yan Yue took a deep breath, placed the jade flute horizontally to his lips, and the melodious flute sound slowly flowed out.
At first, the restriction seemed to have no reaction, but as the rhythm changed, the pattern that resembled the silk-wrapped vine began to vibrate slightly, with the frequency getting faster and faster, and the amplitude getting larger and larger.
When the song ended, the patterns on the restriction seemed to be activated, emitting dazzling light.
Then, with a crisp "crack", the transparent film shattered instantly, turning into starlight and dissipating in the air.
"It's done!" Yan Yue jumped up excitedly and threw herself into Nong Jin's arms.
Nong Jin hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "You are awesome."
The two smiled at each other and walked into the palace hand in hand.
However, the moment they stepped into the palace... Yan Yue suddenly felt a strange breath. She turned around abruptly, looked into the depths of the palace, and whispered, "Wait..." Before Yan Yue finished her words, the moment the restriction was broken, a powerful force rushed towards the two of them like a wild horse!
This force was not an attack, but more like a pure energy shock, carrying the breath of ancient times, as if it would devour everything.
"What the hell! What's going on?!" Nong Jin subconsciously protected Yan Yue behind him, and the Immortal Emperor's aura was fully unleashed, forming a golden barrier.
Yan Yue grabbed his arm and said, "Don't resist. This is a pure energy impact, not an attack! Let's use the force!" After that, she mobilized the spiritual power in her body and guided the energy to revolve around the two of them, forming a huge vortex.
Nong Jin understood instantly, and coordinated with Yan Yue's movements, integrating his own strength into the vortex.
The two of them were like two leaves in the center of a storm, seemingly shaky but firmly in control of the situation.
This energy impact came quickly and went away quickly.
When the dust settled, the two stood in the center of the palace unharmed, and even felt that their spiritual power had become much purer.
Yan Yue couldn't help but sigh: "What a great profit! This wave of pure energy tonic pills!"
Deep in the palace, on an ancient stone platform, lay a jade slip emitting a bright light.
"It's done!" Yan Yue grabbed the jade slip and probed his spiritual sense into it. In an instant, a vast amount of information flooded into his mind.
"What is this?" Nong Jin came over and asked curiously.
Yan Yue raised a mysterious smile and said, "This thing is a treasure..." She paused, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked towards a corner of the palace and whispered, "Someone is coming..."
Yan Yue smiled mysteriously and told the contents of the jade slip.
It turns out that this jade slip not only records a long-lost secret method of alchemy, but also mentions an even more powerful treasure - the "Qiankun Ding".
It is said that this tripod has the magical power to refine all things, and can even reverse life and death and bring the dead back to life!
"Holy crap! So awesome?!" Nong Jin's eyes widened. If he could get this thing, wouldn't he be invincible?
Yan Yue shook his head. "It's not that simple. The jade slip says that the Qiankun Cauldron is hidden in an extremely dangerous place, and it's guarded by a powerful guardian beast. To obtain it, one must go through many trials."
"What the hell am I afraid of? I love tests!" Nong Jin rubbed his hands, eager to try, "Wife, let's go!"
Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed from the corner of the palace: "Haha, Qiankun Ding? You guys want to get your hands on it too?"
A man in a black robe with a ferocious face walked out slowly, followed by several powerful subordinates.
It was the leader of the underworld supernatural organization that we met at the entrance of the ruins before!
"Enemies meet on a narrow road!" Nong Jin sneered, and the pressure of the Immortal Emperor was released instantly, pressing down on the black-robed man like a mountain.
The black-robed man's face changed, obviously he didn't expect Nong Jin to be so powerful.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, don't be so arrogant! Even if you are the Immortal Emperor, you may not be able to leave here alive!"
"Really? Then give it a try!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Nong Jin's eyes, and a big battle was about to break out!
Yan Yue suddenly grabbed Nong Jin and whispered something in his ear.
Nong Jin was stunned at first, then he smiled wickedly: "Hehe, wife, you are still the one with the most clever ideas!"
Suddenly, a bead emitting a strange light appeared in Yan Yue's hand. With a light squeeze, the bead exploded instantly, and a powerful energy wave swept across the entire palace!
"Oh no! It's a space teleportation talisman!" The black-robed man's face changed drastically, but it was too late to stop it.
The next moment, Yan Yue and Nong Jin disappeared from the palace, leaving only the black-robed man's angry roar echoing in the empty palace.
"Wife, where are we?" Nong Jin asked curiously, looking at the unfamiliar environment around him.
Yan Yue took out the jade slip and carefully compared the surrounding terrain. She said, "According to the jade slip, the Qiankun Ding is in a cave in this mountain..." She paused, looking into the distance, and said meaningfully, "Let's go and meet this legendary guardian beast!"
