The Path of the Sage

Chapter 531: Four Wonders of the Study

Views:

Fang Yun looked at his own verbal sparring and felt that what he was nurturing was not a talented ancient sword, but a monster, a divine object.

This talented ancient sword not only incorporates the bones of a real dragon, and possesses an extraordinary sword-pregnancy poem, but it also absorbs the holy aura emitted from the corpse of the Dragon Saint. In the future, it will surely surpass all verbal battles.

The aura of the Holy Way continued to dissipate, but now a dragon pattern could no longer contain more of the aura of the Holy Way, and the Ancient Sword of Talent itself could not absorb the aura of the Holy Way. So a part of the aura of the Holy Way penetrated into the hilt of the Ancient Sword of Talent and lay dormant.

Fang Yun looked at Wen Palace carefully and found that it was not affected by the Dragon Saint's corpse energy, so he felt relieved and left Wen Palace.

When Fang turned around, he saw that only Sun Renbing was by his side, while the other Jinshi were using various methods to dig the collapsed cave, hoping to find a way out.

The space crack in the sky has healed, and everyone has no other choice but to dig a passage.

There was a lot of Dragon Saint corpse qi, and it took Fang Yun half an hour to absorb it completely.

The deserted land was originally a land of blue sky and yellow sand, but after experiencing the ravages of the Dragon Saint's corpse qi, both the sky and the ground were gray and filled with the breath of death.

Fang Yun entered the Wen Palace again and came to the sapling of the Heavenly Tree.

The seedling of the Tree of Heaven originally had only two leaves and a stem. It was very simple and only one inch tall. But now it is a full two inches tall and has one more leaf, which is lush and green.

A drop of water appeared on the third leaf.

Every time the Heavenly Tree absorbs a divine object, it can form a certain kind of power or something else. This drop of water should be the strange power that was born after obtaining the corpse energy of the Dragon Saint.

Fang Yun thought about it for a long time but couldn't guess the function of this water drop. However, this thing was extremely precious and there was no way to test it, so he could only ignore it for the time being.

The sapling of the Heavenly Tree has grown, and Fang Yun can enter the second floor of the Heavenly Tree to gain more powerful strength.

The tree of heaven represents a strong vitality, and now that the tree of heaven seedlings have grown up, the breath of life they exude is even stronger.

Fang Yun exited the Wen Palace, thought for a while, then flew forward on the dragon energy cloud. The people behind him realized Fang Yun’s purpose, and hurriedly stopped digging the passage and followed Fang Yun.

"Fang Yun, are you looking for the source of Dragon Saint's corpse energy?" Zhang Zhixing asked.

Fang Yun nodded.

Kong Detian said: "The Dragon Saint Corpse Qi must rely on the dragon skeleton to grow stronger. I hope there is still something left there."

"That little sun is just a big rock. No matter how strong it is, it can't shake the bones of the Dragon Saint. However, those ordinary divine objects will probably be completely destroyed."

"I remember one thing. Marquis Gu Jiao brought many dragon monsters with him, but in the end, he was the only one who got out. This is very strange."

Sun Renbing said: "In my opinion, he probably used the power of the dragon monsters to lure down the little sun, and then achieve his goal and obtain the Inkstone Turtle. As for whether he caused the death of all the dragon monsters intentionally or unintentionally, it is unknown."

"Ah, speaking of the Inkstone Turtle, I get so angry. Even if the Inkstone Turtle was given to Lei Jiu, it would be a hundred times better than giving it to Gu Jiao Hou! What can Gu Jiao Hou do with the Inkstone Turtle? He can only eat it and absorb the power of the Inkstone Turtle. But if it was given to us humans, the Inkstone Turtle would be the most top-level rare item!" Zhang Zhixing was heartbroken.

"The inkstone turtle is too rare. And I heard from Gu Jiaohou that it is a dragon-shaped turtle inkstone turtle, which must be even more precious. If I write with the ink in the inkstone turtle, the power of the war poem will probably be increased by 30%!"

Kong Detian said, "Fifty percent."

Everyone sighed with regret.

Kong Detian continued, "The Inkstone Turtle can not only increase the power of war poems by 50%. Together with the Ink Girl, the Pen Master and the Holy Page, they are called the Four Wonders of the Study. If used together, they can form unexpected attack phenomena! It is said that no one in the Ten Kingdoms has ever possessed the Inkstone Turtle, the Ink Girl and the Pen Master at the same time. Even the Half-Saints don't have them. However, during the war between the two worlds, it was the Eastern Saint who borrowed all the Four Wonders of the Study. It is said that he easily defeated five of them alone, shocking the world."

"I have heard about this, but unfortunately the process of the war between the two worlds was strictly sealed, and the saints kept silent. We are not qualified to go to the Academy of Classics to read about the war."

"Alas, I still can't bear to part with it. That's an Inkstone Turtle. As far as I know, there are less than ten Inkstone Turtles in human history, right?"

"There are five. One died of old age, two were damaged, and the other two are still here." Kong Detian is very familiar with these stories and knows them like the back of his hand.

"Forget about the Ink Turtle. Now that it's in the hands of Gu Jiao Hou, we can never get it. Let's see if there are any good things in that big pit."

Soon, everyone arrived at the edge of a huge pit. The diameter of the pit was hundreds of miles, and it became smaller as they went down.

There were a lot of rubble scattered at the bottom of the giant pit. Everyone recognized at a glance that these rubble were the shell of the little sun.

Everyone was standing on the dragon's energy cloud, with worried brows.

"There's nothing here. This place is huge, and the bottom of the pit is made of rocks. I can't find anything. I think we should go back. Try to repair the passage as quickly as possible and leave here." Judd said.

Others were also undecided. Looking for something in such a large area was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was simply a fantasy.

Fang Yun reached into the River Drinking Shell and took out the Dragon's Breath Stone Carving where no one else could see.

The dragon's breath stone carving is very hot, even hotter than when you encounter a giant dragon's breath eye.

Fang Yun immediately began to test the direction of the source of the heat. He moved left and right, forward and backward, and quickly determined the general direction and flew directly forward.

The group of scholars were puzzled and didn't understand what happened to Fang Yun, so they could only follow him.

"Who knows what's going on?" Yun Nong Zhang asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

Everyone followed Fang Yun and flew to a place. Fang Yun stepped on the dragon energy cloud, turned around and took out a piece of paper to show everyone.

"You can use your verbal sparring together and dig along the place I point. There may be treasures inside." Fang Yun held a paper in one hand and pointed to a wall of the pit with the other.

Fang Yun’s previous deeds were so miraculous that no one questioned or inquired about them. They all subconsciously started to dig into the matter with sharp words.

The whole process went very smoothly, and a large amount of sand and dust was dug away by the ancient swords of everyone's talents, forming a deep gully. The surface of the desert was all very loose sand, but the ground became harder as you went down, and the speed slowed down.

Not long after, Ji Shouyu suddenly said, "Stop, my Ancient Sword of Talent hit something hard. It was only a slight touch, but it almost broke! Fortunately, I am proficient in the Book of Changes, so I stopped digging for the Ancient Sword of Talent in advance."

Everyone was delighted, Kong Detian said: "Moshan, it's up to you."

Mo Shan nodded and took out a three-foot-long mechanical rat from the Yinjiang Shell, which looked exactly like the rat demon.

The mechanical rats scurried into the ravine and began to dig.

Everyone stood on the dragon energy cloud and watched with anticipation.

"Guess what it is?"

"What else could it be? Nothing more than something from a dragon. However, if there is something from a dragon saint, that would be great! We cannot use the dragon saint's things now, but we can deposit them in the Saint Academy and take them back when our literary rank is higher."

Fang Yun looked at the mechanical mouse quietly without saying a word. (To be continued...)
