Volume 9 Chapter 10 The Alchemy Chamber

I looked at her and saw that she had already reached the center of the huge stone mill-like stone plate. We also leaned over and saw that it was a stone star plate, covered with small dots representing the stars in the sky, and each dot was represented by an ugly little stone of dark green.

This is the medicine that Uncle San showed me before. There are so many here.

“What is this? Is it the elixir of life?” A strange voice came from behind, accompanied by a whistle. We turned around and saw that the mop and a few other people had followed us.

I immediately felt a headache and shook my head: “This is a highly toxic drug that will kill you immediately. You must never touch these pills. They are extremely poisonous.”

“Of course I won’t eat it, but can’t I just look at it?”

“No,” I said. ”You can’t touch anything here.”

The men were very interested. They grumbled a few words when they heard me say that, and one of them lit a cigarette and said, “What are you, so many rules.” There was no more politeness in his words.

I pretended not to hear it. At this time, the flares burning around us went out one by one. The fat man fired two more, looked up, and suddenly shouted.

We all looked up and saw that the flare was at the highest point, illuminating several chains hanging from the ceiling of the cave. A dozen chains were in a radial shape, like a spider web, embedded in the stone on one side and attached to the object on the other. The object was dark and seemed to be a huge black ball.

The flare dropped, and the cave was plunged into darkness again.

“What the hell is that?” someone nearby asked in surprise.

“This is a hanging furnace,” Wen Jin exclaimed in surprise. ”My God, this cave must be the eye of the Great Feng Shui Dragon Mother of the Mountains. This is the highest realm of the alchemy room and the highest realm of the furnace. The furnace does not touch the ground, and it absorbs the essence of the entire dragon vein.”

The fat man replaced the high-altitude signal flare and said, “Let’s take a closer look.”

Another shot, this time the flare hit the edge of the black ball and exploded, making it clear at a glance. It was indeed a bronze ball-shaped vessel with carved patterns, more than three times larger than any other bronze vessel here. From below, it looked as if it was connected to the chains, like a giant tarantula lurking in the center of a spider web.

Wenjin immediately told the fat man not to fire anymore, saying that he didn’t know if there were flammable materials in the furnace, and that if there was an explosion, we would be like being bombed by a bomber, and no one here would survive.

The fat man sighed, “It’s a pity that we can’t go up and take a look, otherwise maybe the elixir of life is up there. We could eat a dozen of them and go straight to the moon. I wonder how Chang’e is doing these days.”

I patted the fat man and sighed, “You finally showed your true colors. Marshal Tianpeng, no wonder I thought your body looked so familiar.”

The fat man was about to protest, but suddenly heard Wenjin shout, “What are you doing?”

We immediately turned around and saw the people who had come down there by the stone plate. One of them held Wen Jin down to prevent her from coming over to stop them, while the other one, wearing gloves, went to get the pills on the stone plate, saying, “Don’t be nervous, sister. I’m also an expert, and I’m not worse than your friends.”

I was shocked and yelled, “You bastards, do you want to die?” Immediately, someone pulled out a gun and aimed it at us. The Mian Youping and the fat man immediately protected me and told me not to get excited. The man with the gun then nudged the fat man and said, “Throw away the gun.” The fat man cursed and threw the gun on the ground.

The man holding the pill laughed: “Little Master, you really think you’re a master? Times have changed. People don’t talk about generations anymore.” As he said this, he dug out a pill, shone a flashlight at it, and looked at it carefully. The expression on the face of the man next to me changed. I heard him softly call out, “It’s over.”

Before he could finish his sentence, the stone plate suddenly lost its balance and tilted to one side. Then, there was complete silence.

The others were also startled. Everyone was too scared to move, and they all froze in place, waiting for the situation to change.

After waiting for a while, nothing happened. We looked at each other, and the fat guy said, “Damn, is this stone not stable?”

Muyoubing’s face turned even paler. Instead of looking at the stone plate, he looked at the jade figurines around him. Then we clearly heard a few “splashes” from among the jade figurines. We immediately looked in the direction of the sound and found that the jade figurine on one of the jade figurines had actually scattered. It seemed that the golden thread on the jade figurine had been pulled away at once, and the jade figurine immediately lost its shape and scattered, revealing the ancient corpse inside. It was a hideous horse-faced ancient corpse.

I was dumbfounded. I heard that after the jade figurine fell off, the corpse immediately turned into a corpse, which was a big deal. Thinking about it, I immediately yelled, “Get out of here!”

Before I could finish, I heard a series of sounds of the locks moving at the entrance. The stone gate that we had used to enter had already fallen, blocking our way.
