Chapter 1008

On the right side of the cave, there was a row of bookshelves filled with books. The bookshelf on the left looked empty but upon closer inspection, it was not filled with books but jade bamboo slips!

Needless to say, Zhang Xiaohua took a big step forward and jumped to the front of the bookshelf where the jade bamboo slips were placed. She stretched out her hand to grab the jade bamboo slips but just as she touched the bookshelf, a gentle force blocked her way.

"Aiyo, look at me, I am so anxious!"

Zhang Xiaohua laughed secretly and released her divine sense. After looking at it for a while, her right hand agilely struck out a series of spells as though she was playing a zither. This spell was more complicated and the more she struck, the slower her speed became. Zhang Xiaohua's expression became more serious and at the end, her forehead was covered with sweat. After all, this was Venerable Fiery Dragon's impartation of Celestial Dao and the jade bamboo slips must have recorded Venerable Fiery Dragon's cultivation methods. Although it was not as precious as the ones that Zhang Xiaohua had obtained on the deserted island, these were the foundations of Celestial Dao cultivation. As long as she had these foundational cultivation methods, in addition to the recovery of the Heaven and Earth's elemental energy, Zhang Xiaohua was confident that she could establish the Beidou school by herself!

Thinking back to the time when the Righteous Alliance roped in the Long family, why?

Wasn't it because they wanted to obtain some Celestial Dao relics from the Long family?

What kind of benefits could they obtain from it to find the path to Celestial Dao?

Now that this broad future was in front of Zhang Xiaohua's eyes, how could Zhang Xiaohua not work hard?

At the end, Zhang Xiaohua's forehead was dripping with beads of sweat and her face was pale. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Open!"

His right hand seemed to be holding something heavier than ten thousand catties, and he slowly pushed it to the front of the bookshelf. "Kacha!" A crisp sound rang out, as if something had broken. A faint red light flashed on the bookshelf, and everything returned to normal!

Zhang Xiaohua wiped off his sweat. He did not sit down to adjust his breathing and recover his True Energy. Instead, with a greedy look on his face, he waved his hand and the entire bookshelf flew into his belt. Then, he walked to a few bookshelves at the side and casually picked up a book. When he opened it, he could not help but be overjoyed. He saw that the book recorded several thousand years of travel. Needless to say, these bookshelves were all books that recorded the local customs, culture, and geography of the past. With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xiaohua collected all the bookshelves into his belt.

"I wonder if there are any secret martial arts manuals in these books?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself. He then walked to the bookshelf on the left. There was a hole at the side of the bookshelf, and it was pitch black inside.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua had expected, this bookshelf was used to store pills. There were a few jade bottles that had their own seals on them. After Zhang Xiaohua rested for a while, he took out a primordial stone to replenish his True Energy and broke the seals easily. He then saw that the jade bottles had the words "Peiyuan Pill" written on them!

"Peiyuan Pill?

What is this? "Zhang Xiaohua was surprised," I don't think there was any mention of this in the jade slip of Venerable Fiery Dragon?

But, I think I've heard of it somewhere before! "

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the seals on the jade bottles that were about to collapse. She then recited the seals to prevent the True Energy of the pills from dissipating. She then kept the pills in her pouch.

She then turned around to look at the empty cave. Hmm, it was originally empty. After that, Zhang Xiaohua took the Luminous Pearl and entered the cave beside the bookshelf. The cave was not long, and it only took a few steps to reach the end. Looking at the furnishings, she knew that this was Venerable Fiery Dragon's alchemy room. There was a praying mat, a medium-sized alchemy furnace, and an Earth Fire. However, the Earth Fire had already cooled down. Zhang Xiaohua recited the seals, but there was no fire coming out. It seemed that the Earth Fire had already changed its path after 65,555 years!

Although Zhang Xiaohua already had 63 Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Alchemy Furnace in her belt, Zhang Xiaohua still kept the alchemy furnace. She then used her divine sense to check, but there was nothing else.

"The Peiyuan Pill was obviously made by Elder Huo. Why is there no record of the pill formula in the alchemy room?"

Zhang Xiaohua then laughed to herself, "I'm really a miser. Elder Huo said very clearly that he placed all the orthodoxies together and left them for the fated ones. There are so many jade slips on the bookshelf. There must be a record in one of them. When I get out, I'll look for it carefully!"

Looking at the empty cave, Zhang Xiaohua sighed, "This itinerant cultivator is really poor. Even if I wanted to pick up some trash, there's nothing left. Sigh …"

This bastard still doesn't know how to be content. He has already taken away all the orthodoxies. What else does he want?

Zhang Xiaohua wanted to take the portrait away. However, the portrait was already blurred. She couldn't see Venerable Fiery Dragon's face. Even if she took it away, it would be useless. Furthermore, didn't Zhang Xiaohua want to be the founder of the Beidou school?

After leaving the cave, Zhang Xiaohua turned her head to look at the pitch-black cave. Her eyes rolled and she cast a few spells to strengthen the restrictive spell in the cave. She then turned around, rushed out of the waterfall, and flew back!

When she returned to the original cave, Qu Zhigao was already sitting crookedly by the bonfire and taking a nap. Zhang Xiaohua didn't hide her footsteps. When Zhang Xiaohua walked to Qu Zhigao's side, Qu Zhigao immediately woke up. When he saw that it was Zhang Xiaohua, he immediately asked in surprise, "How is it?

Ren Shaoxia?

Did you find anything? "

Zhang Xiaohua didn't answer. Instead, she asked, "Brother Qu, you … you and this Dragon Mountain … How should I describe it? Your family has been living in Dragon Mountain for generations?"

"No!"

Qu Zhigao didn't understand what Zhang Xiaohua meant. However, he still shook his head, "This Dragon Mountain belongs to my mother's family. Qu's family was originally in Poyang Town …"

"Poyang Town's Qu Sanfeng?" Zhang Xiaohua blurted out.

"Eh?" Qu Zhigao was stunned. He asked curiously, "How did Ren Shaoxia know my father's name?

He has passed away a long time ago! "

Poyang Town's Qu Sanfeng was the last name on the list given to Zhang Xiaohua by the Dalin Temple's Great Master Chang Geng. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua had some impression of him. When she heard that he was Qu Zhigao's father, she couldn't help but nod and ask, "Your father is also one of the people my senior sister and I are looking for!"

"Oh ~" Qu Zhigao suddenly understood. He nodded and said, "That … That's right. Mother must know something about your senior sister."

Then, he said, "Ever since Father passed away, the Qu Family has been in decline, and our family's martial arts have not been mastered. Mother was the only one in my grandfather's family at Dragon Mountain, so she brought me to Dragon Mountain!"

"Then, is this Bone Condensation Pill from Dragon Mountain or your Qu Family?" Zhang Xiaohua suddenly asked.

"It's from Dragon Mountain."

Qu Zhigao replied without hesitation, "My mother's family seems to be guarding something in Dragon Mountain. However, it has been a long time. In my mother's generation, she is the only one. As for me, I only have one son, Jing. I estimate that the secret of Dragon Mountain will be lost soon!"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and asked again, "Brother Qu, you … know how to refine pills?"

"How could I?"

Qu Zhigao's face was slightly red, "I just follow Dragon Mountain's pill recipe and brew some medicinal plasters myself. I can make a living in the jianghu!"

"Mm," Zhang Xiaohua muttered to herself for a moment. She took out a jade talisman and handed it to Qu Zhigao, saying, "Brother Qu, your Bone Condensation Pill has been of great help to me. I have nothing to repay you with. Take this jade talisman. If anything strange happens, feel free to break it … Oh, right …"

As she spoke, Zhang Xiaohua took out some banknotes and silver and handed it over, saying, "Take this silver. It's not of much use to me."

Qu Zhigao was about to decline when Zhang Xiaohua continued, "Furthermore, in the future … if … I have any … matters, I will have to trouble Brother Qu. If possible, I would like … Brother Qu to come to my sect to refine pills and practice martial arts. This can also be considered as … repayment for the time you have spent at Dragon Mountain!"

"Repayment for the time we have spent at Dragon Mountain?"

Qu Zhigao didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at first, but when he came to his senses, he immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Ren Shaoxia … could it be … could it be that … there really are secret martial arts manuals in that place???"

"But, Qu has been there more than once. What … I didn't discover anything!" Qu Zhigao still didn't quite believe it!

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Why would Little Brother lie to you about such things?

Don't tell me that this little brother will support your family of three for no reason? "

"Ren Shaoxia, don't misunderstand. Qu … Qu just doesn't dare to believe it. That … that place is just an ordinary cave. Although mother … occasionally mentioned it, but …"

Qu Zhigao stuttered a little. After a while, he sighed, "I heard mother say that fate is decided by the heavens and not by men. Perhaps this is what it means.

My Dragon Mountain has been guarding this place for many generations, but we haven't been able to find it. Even I, Qu, have been there many times. I didn't expect that when I impulsively invited Young Hero over in Lu Town, it would actually … "

He couldn't help but sigh!

"Hahaha," Zhang Xiaohua laughed, "Brother Qu, you are thinking too much. Although Brother Qu may not be able to learn this secret martial arts manual, Jing is still young. What's the difference between Jing and your younger brother obtaining it?"

"Ren Shaoxia?

You … you mean … you want to accept Jing into the Cult of Fragrance? "Qu Zhigao was pleasantly surprised.

Zhang Xiaohua shook his head, "That's not it. I have other orthodoxies. However, this matter shouldn't be publicized. Once I have settled everything, I will come and find Brother Qu!"

"Other orthodoxies?"

Qu Zhigao suddenly understood. He slapped his forehead and said, "Qu understands. Qu is also willing to go. It's just alchemy and martial arts. It's better than being bullied in Dragon Mountain!"

"Brother Qu, my sect is not the Cult of Fragrance. You should be clear about this!" Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile.

"With a disciple like Ren Shaoxia, even if it's not a famous sect, so what?"

Qu Zhigao said, "Besides, Qu is just a Jianghu performer. I'm grateful that your sect has not abandoned me. I'm already moved to tears."

The two of them talked for a long time. Unknowingly, it was already midnight. Zhang Xiaohua returned to the cave and was still sleeping soundly. Zhang Xiaohua did not disturb her. He sat at the entrance of the cave and placed a restriction on it. He began to cultivate the Carefree Heart Sutra!
