Chapter 828
Zhang Xiaohua called out to Huanhuan from a nearby tree. She floated up and slowly descended the Floating Mound Peak. When she reached a lush forest, she released her divine sense and listened carefully. After confirming that there was no one around, she patted Huanhuan's bald head and walked diagonally out of the mountain path into the woods.
Zhang Xiaohua got down from the deer and rubbed Huanhuan's head. She didn't care if Huanhuan understood her and muttered, "Huanhuan, stay here. I'll go up and take a look. I'll be back in a while."
Huanhuan seemed to understand. It walked under the tree and lowered its head to nibble on the grass.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the courtyard in the distance and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Jia, I'm back. However, I'm not looking for you.
Hehe, I bet you won't be able to think of this treasure even if you crack your head! "
As he spoke, he twisted his body and cast a spell, heading straight for the top of the Floating Mound Peak.
Ai, needless to say, even after obtaining three treasures, he was still thinking about the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace on the top of the Floating Mound Peak!
However, when Zhang Xiaohua arrived at the top of the Floating Mound Peak, she was stunned on the spot.
In front of Zhang Xiaohua's eyes, the Floating Mound Peak didn't look like the Tian Mu Peak that was planted with medicinal herbs, the Baiyue Peak that was filled with dungeons, and the Shixin Peak that was barren. This … this place was actually a beautiful courtyard.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but ask curiously.
The scenery at the top of the Floating Mound Peak couldn't be compared to the Shixin Peak. The trees weren't lush, and other than the flat courtyard, the surroundings were filled with brown stones. It was a mess and didn't look as beautiful as the courtyards at the waist of the mountain.
"Which idiot actually thought of building a house here?
Even our Guozhuang House wouldn't build a house on the top of a hill! "Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips but didn't approach.
She jumped onto the crown of a large tree and looked in the direction of the Lingering Fragrance Peak.
The Lingering Fragrance Peak was located to the south of the Floating Mound Peak. Right now, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. As the fiery sunlight shone on the sea of clouds, it was like a scene of golden snakes dancing wildly.
Zhang Xiaohua narrowed her eyes and observed for a long while. She made a rough estimation in her heart. Then, she made a hand seal and escaped into the ground. Based on her experience at Shixin Peak and Tian Mu Peak, the "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace" of Fuqiu Peak should be in the cliff facing Lingering Fragrance Peak.
Just as Zhang Xiaohua had expected, even though the Pill Chamber of Fuqiu Peak wasn't as big as the one at Shixin Peak, Zhang Xiaohua had put in a lot of effort. After a careful search, she easily found it. Moreover, there was indeed a rather large Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace in the Pill Chamber. Zhang Xiaohua released his divine sense and examined it. Needless to say, it was exactly the same as the pill furnaces she had found at Tian Mu Peak and Shixin Peak.
Looking at the "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace" in front of her, Zhang Xiaohua was really stunned. Previously, he had thought of the possibility that there would be a Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace at the peak of every mountain. However, that was just a bold imagination. Even when he came to the Floating Mound Peak to look for the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace, he still felt that it was absurd. "There's a pill furnace at the peak of every mountain?" What kind of concept was that?
There were a total of nineteen "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnaces". The two pill furnaces at Tian Mu Peak and Shixin Peak could be called male and female pill furnaces by Zhang Xiaohua. How could these nineteen "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnaces" be differentiated?
"What are these nineteen" Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnaces "used for?
Don't tell me that these nineteen pill furnaces live together to refine pills?
Heh heh, if that's the case, their imposing manner is really frightening! "Zhang Xiaohua muttered to himself.
He only had a few small and stingy weapons in his hands now, such as the Dragon Binding Hoop and … Sigh, there really wasn't much to compare. Therefore, even though these "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnaces" were only pill furnaces for refining pills, Zhang Xiaohua really liked the "physique" of these pill furnaces. "Hmm, at least they look better than those little shields and mirrors I got earlier!"
Therefore, based on this reason, Zhang Xiaohua had already made up his mind. No matter what these nineteen "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnaces" were used for, he would find a way to keep them in his bag. Hmm, he would keep them in his belt. Anyway, he had already used some of the medicinal herbs in his belt, so there was a lot of empty space. It was just right to keep these pill furnaces.
Zhang Xiaohua carefully read the incantation for refining this "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace". Indeed, it was the same as the previous two furnaces. Without any hesitation, he began to refine it. Even though refining this "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace" consumed a lot of vital energy, Zhang Xiaohua, who had improved after comprehending the Heavenly Dao a few times, did not expend too much energy to refine the pill furnaces. Just like before, his vital energy did not "spurt" out. He just kept the pill furnaces in his belt. Within the belt, the three "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnaces" were placed together in a triangular formation. Even though they did not touch each other directly, there was an indescribable connection that kept them together!
After keeping the pill furnaces, Zhang Xiaohua took a look around the small pill room. This pill room was rather small, and after placing the "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnaces", there was not much space. There was also a long narrow table by the side, but it was empty.
Seeing that there were no more benefits, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and turned around to leave. She directly returned to Huanhuan's side.
Two days later, on the wide mountain path leading to Lingering Fragrance Peak, Zhang Xiaohua sat cross-legged on the back of the four odd beasts with her eyes tightly shut. She walked leisurely.
It had been nine days since Messenger Mu from Lingering Fragrance Peak went to Shixin Peak to pass on the decree of the Sect Leader. If it was any other disciple, who would not have rushed to Lingering Fragrance Peak after obtaining such benefits?
Zhang Xiaohua, on the other hand, used a few days to refine the last batch of pills for Zhang Xiaohu. After that, she took a detour to Floating Mound Peak. Not only did she obtain some benefits from the treasury, she also went to the peak to retrieve the hidden pill furnaces. Only then did she hurry to Lingering Fragrance Peak.
"What is this bracelet with thirty-six beads?"
Zhang Xiaohua was having a hard time. He held the bracelet with his eyes closed and stroked each bead in his hand. The beads on the bracelet were very exquisite. When one looked at them carefully, they could see the engravings of birds, insects, and fish. However, when one touched them with their fingers, there was no trace of the engravings. It was as though the engravings were in the middle of the beads.
Zhang Xiaohua knew that this was a magic tool similar to a belt. However, when he sent his divine sense into it, he could only feel a trace of energy fluctuation. When he went deeper, he could not find any abnormalities. It was different from the "Dragon Binding Bracelet" of the past.
The "Dragon Binding Bracelet" of the past was only because Zhang Xiaohua's cultivation was not enough to break the restriction on it. Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense was blocked by the restriction. Once it entered, it was bounced back. However, other than the trace of energy fluctuation, this bead was no different from an ordinary bead. When one's divine sense swept past it, there was no reaction at all.
If it was not for the faint energy fluctuation on each bead and the slight fluctuation on the string connecting the beads, Zhang Xiaohua would have thought that this was just an ordinary bracelet.
"Let's wait for the right opportunity," Zhang Xiaohua said in his heart. "It's still the same sentence. Time is the answer to all questions."
Casually putting on the bracelet on his right wrist, Zhang Xiaohua took out the small shield from his money bag. This was an antique item. The front and back of the small shield were engraved with strange patterns. These patterns were extremely exquisite and each pattern seemed to be able to move. When placed together, one could feel a sense of desolation. Furthermore, although these patterns were all over the small shield, Zhang Xiaohua felt that these patterns were strangely connected. All the patterns were connected and not a single one of them could be missing.
Of course, this shield was the same as the "Dragon Binding Bracelet". When one's divine sense wrapped around it, it bounced back and could not penetrate it. Zhang Xiaohua had found a time to carefully infiltrate it. Although Zhang Xiaohua had some confidence in breaking the outer restriction, when the divine sense in his Niwan Palace and the vital energy in his meridians leaked out like floodwaters, Zhang Xiaohua immediately dismissed the idea of breaking the restriction.
What a joke. He had only opened the restriction a little and his vital energy and divine sense already felt insufficient. If he wanted to break the restriction completely, how much vital energy would he need? The current Zhang Xiaohua definitely did not have the ability to do so.
Zhang Xiaohua muttered to himself, "Nice to look at but useless". Like a local tycoon who was counting his wealth, he took out the small mirror again.
This was an octagonal bronze mirror. The extremely smooth surface of the mirror reflected Zhang Xiaohua's small eyes, sunken nose, and small slaps. This mirror was no different from the mirrors used by ordinary people. The only difference was that ordinary people's mirrors were flat and round, but this mirror was octagonal.
What made Zhang Xiaohua the most curious was that when Zhang Xiaohua first obtained this small mirror in the Human Pavilion, it clearly emitted faint and rhythmic waves. However, when Zhang Xiaohua took it out again at night to refine it, this mirror did not even emit the slightest ripple. Wherever Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense passed, there was really no difference from an ordinary object. Also, this mirror was not as good as the shield. Shields had mysterious patterns, but this mirror was abnormally smooth. When he touched it with his hand and looked at it with his eyes, he felt nothing. Even when he injected vital energy, there was no reaction at all.
"Could it be that I was mistaken?" This was what Zhang Xiaohua had been nagging for the past few days.
With that thought in mind, Zhang Xiaohua tossed the unresponsive mirror into the air. She caught it and smiled, "Forget it. This Shaoxia is handsome and unrestrained. I lack a mirror anyway. I will treat you as a daily necessity."
But when Zhang Xiaohua tossed the mirror into the air, sunlight shone on the clean surface of the mirror. Immediately, an almost invisible brilliance was reflected from the mirror, directly shooting towards the mountain peak in front of them …
