Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 200: Stone Tablet Story
When Qinghuan and his friends caught up with Medusa, she was standing in front of a stone tablet with a look of disbelief on her face.

Several people hurried over to take a look. There were patterns carved on the stone tablet, and reading the whole thing, it told a simple story.

A small snake caught by an eagle broke free from the eagle's claws in mid-air, fell from a high altitude, and landed right in front of an old man.

The old man felt pity, so he took the blood from the snake, plucked a piece of grass, refined a pill with black flames, and stuffed it into the little snake's mouth.

At the end of the scene, the little snake grew into a terrifying sky-swallowing python!
It's just such a simple story. It seems nothing special at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it's so shocking that your scalp tingles.

"Is this the Heavenly Serpent Emperor?" Medusa said with difficulty, "The one who has a blood connection with me is actually this stone tablet... How is it possible?"

Not only did she see with her naked eyes, she also used her spiritual power to see it, but the stone tablet in front of her was really just a piece of stone!

What Yun Yun was concerned about was: "Black fire? Like you, brother?"

Hai Bodong pointed at the stone tablet and said, "You can use a blade of grass to refine the elixir? In the picture, there are grasses like this everywhere on the ground. It shouldn't be a rare treasure, right?"

Qing Huan knew very well that it was indeed an ordinary grass that could be seen everywhere!

The fire of chaos can give birth to all things and can infinitely amplify the properties of an ordinary grass, making it in no way inferior to any natural treasure.

The use of Chaos Fire is far beyond Qinghuan's capabilities!

But Qinghuan is confident that as long as he is given time to grow, he will definitely be able to achieve this level in the future.

What he cared about was that when the old man summoned the Chaos Fire, he made a strange seal with his fingers, and when he stuffed the pill into the little snake's mouth, his other hand also made a strange seal.

What is the function of hand seals?
Change your own qi channels and allow them to form a circulation within the body.

Logically speaking, it would be of no use in alchemy, so why did the old man make the seal?

Frowning, Qing Huan tried to make a seal according to the gestures of the old man in the picture... but there was no change in his body!
Moreover, according to this kind of seal, it is impossible to form a circulation of Qi, so this seal is not used to change the circulation of Qi in the body?
What is that used for?
Medusa, Qinghuan, Yunyun and Haibodong all stared at the stone tablet, trying to see something from it.

Only Qing Lin was confused. He looked around blankly and suddenly said, "Brother, there is such a stone tablet over there."

A few people looked in the direction they were looking, and sure enough, there were eight such stone tablets standing behind.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Qinghuan walked towards the second stone tablet, and the others followed.

……

The second stone tablet also depicts a story:
It was still the same snake that swallowed the sun in one gulp, and the whole world fell into darkness.

An old man appeared and used a chicken, a fire of wood, and black flames to refine a pill.

Then the old man threw the pill into the air, and the pill turned into a three-legged firebird, flew into the sky, and turned into the sun, bringing light back to the world.

Finally, the old man sat on the snake and left.

……

It’s also a simple story, but it’s also terrifying when you think about it carefully!

The expressions on the faces of the several people were different, but there was no doubt that they all had some doubts about life.

Qinghuan noticed that the old man made a different seal this time.

After gazing deeply at the old man's seal and memorizing it firmly in his heart, Qinghuan walked towards the third stone tablet.

……

The same story:
The old man was sitting on a giant snake with a huge planet beneath him. The giant snake had grown so big that it could almost circle the planet.

The next scene shows the destruction of the planet. There is deathly silence everywhere, without any sign of life... This is a dead world!

The old man raised his hand, and black flames fell, swelled, and enveloped the entire planet.

Then he put out the flames and rode away on the snake.

In the last painting, the planet comes back to life.

……

Qinghuan stared at the old man's hand in the painting, and sure enough, it was a different seal!

There were three stone tablets, three kinds of seals were used to summon the Chaos Fire, and three kinds of seals were used after refining the elixir.

Qinghuan had a rough idea. The first three seals should be used to control the chaos fire, and the last three seals are used on the elixir!

But I still have no idea what the use of the seal is!
……

The story on the fourth stone tablet:
This time there was no snake, only the old man, nothing else, no sky above, no earth under. The old man squeezed out a drop of his own blood, and the Chaos Fire refined it into a pill.

Then he crushed the pill, half of it rose up and turned into the sky, and the other half sank and turned into the earth.

At the end of the picture, a new world is presented.

……

Qinghuan's mouth twitched. He really wanted to say that he knew the legend of "Pangu creating the world", but he couldn't say it out loud.

Although the content on the screen is horrifying, Qinghuan, who masters the Chaos Fire, only needs to think deeply about it and he will find that the story in the stone tablet can actually be realized in the end by refining the elixir through the Chaos Fire!

The fire of chaos created everything from nothing!

……

The fifth stone tablet was blank.

The same goes for the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth stone tablets.

After walking around the next five stone tablets one by one, Qinghuan finally sat cross-legged in front of the fifth stone tablet, propped up his head, and stared at the blank stone tablet in a daze.

Medusa came and was stunned for a moment when she saw the blank stone tablet. She looked at Qinghuan who was in a daze, and went to the sixth tablet without saying a word.

Not long after, Yun Yun and Hai Bodong also passed by one after another, and neither of them disturbed him.

Finally, Qinglin sat down not far behind Qinghuan, took things out of his storage ring, and started to make a fire and cook.

During the whole process, Qinghuan did not move at all, just staring at the blank stone tablet in a daze, with no reaction to the movements around him.

……

Hai Bodong and Yun Yun finally returned to the fifth stone tablet and started preparing food with Qinglin.

Inexplicably, Medusa also came back here, standing coldly aside, looking at Qinghuan, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qinglin hesitated, but finally brought a portion of food to Medusa.

Medusa was stunned for a moment, then took it and said casually, "Thank you."

Qing Lin was tangled up, and said, "I should thank the Queen for giving me the technique... Why did Her Majesty give me such a precious thing? I am just a human-snake hybrid..."

Medusa glanced at her and said, "You have awakened the bloodline of the serpent."

Qing Lin hesitated and asked, "So you asked my brother to keep me here, right...?"

Medusa said calmly: "You are a snakeman. You can only get the best training by praying and communicating with the snake spirits."

"Oh." Qinglin carefully glanced at Medusa's face and said, "I don't want to leave my brother."

Medusa snorted coldly and said, "I see."

Qinglin suddenly didn't dare to say anything and retreated obediently.

Hai Bodong and Yun Yun looked at each other.

Hai Bodong asked: "Do you think what is written on the stone tablet is true?"

There was no deliberate attempt to conceal the sound; at this distance, Medusa would undoubtedly be able to hear it.

Yun Yun understood and said, "It should be fake, right? Some myths and legends similar to those of ordinary people... otherwise I really can't imagine it!"

Medusa knew that they were talking to her, and said coldly: "Of course it is true, otherwise where did our snake people come from? Besides, that black flame... doesn't it look familiar?"

Now that the deadlock had been broken, Hai Bodong asked Medusa directly, "How did the Queen determine that this was the secret place left by the alchemist?"

Medusa was silent for a moment, then said, "Bloodline induction."

Yun Yun frowned: "That's all?"

Medusa gestured to Qing Huan who was sitting in a daze and said, "Why not ask him instead of asking me!"

Qing Lin hurriedly said, "Don't disturb my brother. When my brother saw a book he liked, he would often be in a daze like this and didn't like being disturbed."

Yun Yun said, "Let's not disturb him... Let's take a look around and see if there is anything else in this secret realm."

Hai Bodong nodded and said, "Okay... Since it's the secret inheritance of the alchemist, there shouldn't be even a pill or a pill recipe, right?"
