“That’s right, the entrance to the secret passage is behind this wall, but it’s hidden by an illusion array,” 003 explained.
Without further hesitation, Lin Qian took out a dagger from her storage bag and slashed it fiercely against the wall.
With a "rip," a crack actually appeared on the wall. Then, the crack grew larger and larger until finally, a stone door appeared in front of Lin Qian.
Lin Qian took a deep breath, pushed open the stone door, and slipped inside.
The stone gate slowly closed, and Lin Qian's figure disappeared into the darkness.
After leaving the Inheritance Hall, Lin Qian wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and cursed under her breath, "Damn Ye Lingxi, if it weren't for 003 reminding me in time, I would have almost died there!"
003's voice was flat and even: "Host, please remain calm and act cautiously to better accomplish your revenge plan."
"I know, I know," Lin Qian replied impatiently to the system, but her steps didn't stop. "Let's find a safe place and form a contract with this divine beast egg first. Improving our strength is the key."
Following 003's directions, she wandered through a maze of paths until she arrived at a secluded valley. The valley was filled with spiritual energy, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, a stark contrast to the desolate underground palace outside.
Lin Qian walked straight to a flat open space. She took out an array plate and various materials from her storage bag and began to set up the array.
After setting up the formation, Lin Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She took out the divine beast egg she had obtained from the Inheritance Hall from her storage bag. The divine beast egg lay quietly in her hand, emitting a mysterious light.
Lin Qian took a deep breath, forced out a drop of blood from her fingertip, and carefully dripped it onto the divine beast egg. However, the drop of blood seemed to encounter an invisible barrier upon contact with the egg, unable to penetrate. Lin Qian frowned, unwilling to give up, and tried again, but the result was still the same.
"What's going on?" Lin Qian was a little annoyed. She said to 003 in her mind, "003, why is this egg not reacting to blood?"
003 was silent for a moment, then said, "Host, I think this divine beast egg may not be something we can easily contract. Perhaps, as the rumors say, it is a gift from Heaven to the chosen one. For us cannon fodder, it may not be so easy to successfully contract it."
Lin Qian's face darkened, and she snorted coldly, "Hmph, if that's the case, then I don't believe there can be any problems after eating it."
After saying that, Lin Qian put the divine beast egg aside and took out the alchemy furnace she had collected from the inheritance hall from her storage bag. She looked at the alchemy furnace with a determined look in her eyes and muttered to herself, "I want to see what the effect will be if I cook and eat this divine beast egg."
She set up the alchemy furnace, preparing to light a fire to boil the egg. At that moment, a sense of unease crept into her heart; after all, this was a divine beast egg, and no one knew what the consequences of eating it would be. But Lin Qian's personality dictated that she wouldn't give up easily. Since she couldn't form a contract with it, she would try another method to obtain the egg's power.
Lin Qian sat cross-legged, forming a hand seal with one hand, a ball of dark blue flame dancing at her fingertips. She channeled the flame into the bottom of the alchemy furnace, gradually warming the previously frigid air inside. After doing all this, she stared at the divine beast egg, a ruthless glint in her eyes.
"If I can't boil you, I'll roast you! I refuse to believe I can't handle you!"
After saying that, Lin Qian threw the divine beast egg directly into the alchemy furnace.
The moment the divine beast egg came into contact with the flames, a faint golden light appeared on its surface, keeping the flames out. Seeing this, Lin Qian raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Interesting. Looks like a tough nut to crack."
Her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and complex incantations flowed from her fingertips into the furnace. As spiritual energy was poured in, the flames grew deeper in color, and the temperature rose sharply.
However, no matter how fiercely the flames burned, the divine beast egg remained intact. The golden light was like an indestructible barrier, blocking all attacks.
