Ye Feng turned to a new page of the materials in his hand and then began to study them again.
"We briefly examined these red flowers, but strangely, even though we are a family with a deep foundation in alchemy and a profound understanding of Gu worms, we still couldn't figure out what kind of flower it was."
"You know, the four of us are all alchemists. Ordinary pharmacology can no longer stump us. So this red flower must be a very rare variety. This discovery makes us quite happy. After all, if we take it out for research or to sell, it will be a reward."
"Moreover, as a family of alchemists, if we can analyze the medicinal properties of these red flowers and refine them into pills, it will definitely produce incredible effects. At that time, simply spreading the reputation of Black Nest will be a very high reward!"
“We stayed here for a long time and did not continue climbing. Although the Black Nest has no windows, the time on the equipment showed that it was already night. I don’t know why, but every time I was inside the Black Nest, when night fell, even though I couldn’t see anything, I could always feel a very eerie atmosphere.”
"No, it's not just eerie, it's incredibly creepy. It's like there's always a pair of eyes watching my back, which sends chills down my spine. It's a very unpleasant feeling. Once, I even felt something brush against my skin, but when I turned around, I didn't see anything."
"The only thing I felt was the dark, empty space around me, like an abyss staring at me. I asked the other three people, and they all said they felt the same way. One of them joked that the Black Nest had been around for a long time, and maybe there were vengeful spirits inside."
“I do find that somewhat true. After all, there are so many corpses in the cage. They may not all be human, but what if they are? However, since we are not under any real threat, the exploration is still necessary. We have agreed that if we are threatened here, we will immediately stop the exploration and seal off the Black Nest forever.”
"On the fifth day, just as we were about to continue our exploration, the elders who had joined forces yesterday actually found the Black Nest! And they even got Tianwen Pavilion involved! This is a major force. Although it is a rising star, its power is expanding so rapidly that our Wang family no longer has the strength to resist it."
"The elders invited Song Qixian, the head of Tianwen Pavilion, to come and asked me to close the Black Nest. When I first met Song Qixian, I didn't expect that this guy was more than ten years younger than me. However, he was already the leader of a major force, leading his own force to develop rapidly, while I was still seriously studying pills and did not want to see anyone."
“The elders are all laughing at me and preparing to impeach me for being the head of the Wang family. How can I let them have their way? After I explained the situation to Song Qixian, he also expressed great interest.”
"According to him, every time he looks this way, he sees this strange, towering building that reaches into the clouds. It has become a landmark of the Black Nest, so it is nothing special."
"But Song Qixian said she sensed a very strange aura here. I heard that she has broken through to the True Essence Realm, so she must be able to sense things that we cannot. After agreeing to share the information we obtained from inside the Black Nest with her as payment, we finally got past the elder."
"Although they harbor resentment, they can't say anything. They just go to the ancestral hall every day to beg and plead, crying. I really think that the existence of these guys in the family is what causes the family to decline. It's really frustrating."
"After that, because we were delayed and it was getting dark, we didn't dare to explore it any further. So we could only study the red flower first. But we didn't figure anything out because its internal structure was extremely complex and no one had tasted it to test its medicinal effects. So we just put it aside for the time being."
"On the sixth day, we entered the Black Nest early in the morning and quickly climbed to the fiftieth floor. Since we are skilled in cultivation, this height is nothing to us. However, it is strange that there seem to be more red flowers than when we came last time. I wonder if it is just my imagination."
"This time we didn't linger, but continued upwards, exploring relentlessly. From the fiftieth to the sixtieth floor, most of the flowers were these red ones. We originally thought they were rare, but now we can study them freely without worrying about wasting them."
"In a corner of the fifty-fifth floor, we saw a skeleton covered in red flowers, and the skeleton was holding a notebook. I went over to examine it, took out the notebook and flipped through it. I found that the writing on it was blurred and illegible, and I could only make out two words: 'Original Ancestor'."
"From the sixtieth to the seventieth floor, there was gray matter scattered everywhere. And on the sixty-fifth floor, something terrifying happened! A strangely shaped person was standing near the entrance of the stairwell. If I hadn't looked up, I probably would have run into it!"
“We tried to talk to him, but he didn’t say anything. He just stood there blankly, like a ghost. Finally, one of my men couldn’t help but go over, but he was bitten violently on the neck. Fortunately, his meridians were not damaged too deeply, otherwise it would have been troublesome.”
"We shot him dead, and then came to this floor. We found many people like him, but they were all locked in cages. One of them was opened, and it should be the one we just killed who escaped."
"Although I was surprised that these guys were living here, I didn't feel they were of much research value, so we just threw the body of the guy we killed into a cage, and then had another subordinate take care of the wounded subordinate while the third person and I continued to climb up."
"The seventieth floor, this is the top floor!"
"After so long, we've finally reached this level. The Black Nest, which the Wang family has kept closed for hundreds of years, has finally been reached by me today! There may be some gold and silver treasures, or all sorts of inheritances here, that can lead my Wang family to a better future!"
