Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 227 0226: Obtain treasure again; method of refining magic weapons!
After receiving the response from the mole, Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly.

After checking it, I found that it still had some breath, so I knew that the mole beast had held back. But there were also many claw marks on its body, which were obviously caused by the mole beast.

The injuries are extremely serious.

Without any identification, Cheng Zongyang could guess that this creature must be a strange beast. He immediately took it into the wilderness world and handed it over to Zhang Jinquan for processing. He then told Luo Dingran to make preparations.

Coming out again, he slowly walked to the side of the pool, observing the situation around him.

The surrounding area is flat and there are no extra footprints, but if you think about it, you can understand that with this big guy guarding the water, which animal would dare to approach?

Anyone who gets close will probably become its meal.

"The thing is down there, right?" Cheng Zongyang ignored the situation around him and looked at the mole.

"Hmph." The mole snorted twice, but did not move closer, apparently afraid of water.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang no longer hesitated and immediately said, "Wait here for me. I'll go down and take a look."

But to be on the safe side, he entered the market hut and took the dagger he had found in the cave.

That is also a high-grade divine weapon. Although it is not as good as the Tang sword, it is small and portable.

With a "plop" sound, Cheng Zongyang jumped down while holding his breath.

The true Qi flows to the eyes, ensuring vision while also paying attention to the surrounding situation.

He also noticed that the walls of the pool were very smooth and obviously not formed naturally.

Cheng Zongyang kept diving, not caring how deep. When he reached the bottom of the water, he found countless animal skeletons sunk there, and many of them were broken. He thought they were eaten by that guy.

Cheng Zongyang frowned, not sure whether the bones were sunk to the bottom of the water or not. He could only bite the bullet and try to turn over the bones.

After turning over the pile of bones, they immediately saw some boxes exposed.

At this moment, Cheng Zongyang's eyes lit up. He also found that these boxes were still intact. This made it even easier for him to collect them.

He also discovered that these boxes were not made of wood, but metal. The fact that they had not rusted for so long showed that they were not ordinary metals.

As Cheng Zongyang collected boxes one by one into the wilderness world, he gradually discovered that these boxes were neatly arranged and stacked up.

This also shows that the pond was created by the Huangfu family. They dug the pond, placed the treasures, led the water down, and finally released a strange beast to guard it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zongyang's hand that was taking the box suddenly paused, and he remembered the strange python beside the stream outside the cave last time.

"That snake couldn't have been placed there by the Huangfu family, right? But that doesn't make sense. If it was placed there, why didn't it run away?"

Cheng Zongyang couldn't figure this out, so he stopped thinking about it and continued to concentrate on collecting the boxes.

The boxes disappeared one by one, and Cheng Zongyang was counting them in his mind.

A few minutes later, all the boxes under the pool were empty. He checked carefully again and indeed saw several human skeletons.

But the bones were all scattered, even the armor was broken into pieces.

This situation made Cheng Zongyang a little confused. This was obviously damaged. He checked and found some bite marks on the armor.

Now he understood the situation.

Finally he found some weapons, but he saw nothing else.

He was not sure if it was mixed in with these bones, but there were so many bones here that he could not find them one by one. Seeing that there was nothing else, he reluctantly floated back to the ground.

His whole body was wet, his blood was circulating inside his body, the water on his surface was evaporating, and his whole body was wrapped in water vapor, surrounded by mist.

He stared at the pool, frowning.

What he was looking for was something on the guards. They should have monster bones on them, but the guards' skeletons were destroyed by the fish, and he didn't find anything, which made him quite depressed.

Monster bones worth ten thousand or even more points!
As for the animal skin with the map drawn on it, he estimated that it had been decomposed.

"No." Cheng Zongyang suddenly thought of something. "What if the fish attacked and ate them after they died? Would it swallow the monster bones?"

But then he thought that the aura emitted by the monster bones could scare animals, so how dare this fish get close?

Or did the fish evolve to the level of an exotic beast after swallowing the bones of a monster?

The Fire Mist Python also evolved and mutated under the influence of the Fiery Sun Bird.

With speculation, Cheng Zongyang led the mole into the wilderness world.

In the hut, Luo Dingran's staff were quickly moving things out. The large metal boxes were leaking water, and the floor of the hut was already covered with water stains.

But Cheng Zongyang didn't care about this situation. The cabin had an automatic cleaning function, so there was no need to worry.

Cheng Zongyang first took the mole to the pharmacy, gave it a bottle of red blood pills, and then let it rest outside. Later, he had to arrange for it to do hard labor to expand the water rat farm.

When he came back, all the boxes had been moved to the open space outside the door, a total of thirty-six.

"Open it, open it!" Cheng Zongyang could hardly suppress the excitement on his face.

The soul slaves took their knives and chopped open all the locks. Then the boxes were opened one by one, and then the gold and silver ingots covered in mud and water were seen one after another.

The boxes of gold and silver made Cheng Zongyang's eyes sparkle.

But his eyes quickly passed over the gold and silver and looked at the rest of the newly opened boxes.

"Which one doesn't have gold, silver and jewels?" Cheng Zongyang looked slowly and couldn't help but shout.

"Sir, here."

At this time, a soul slave who had just opened a box heard this and raised his hand in response.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang walked over quickly.

When they got to the box, they found that there was indeed no gold or silver inside, but other things, some bottles and jars, the mouths of which were sealed with something like beeswax, obviously to prevent water.

At this time, another soul slave also raised his hand and shouted: "Sir, we don't have this either."

Cheng Zongyang went over, and Luo Dingran said to the other soul slaves, "Let's count and see how many taels of gold and silver there are. Carry this box to the door."

"Yes, Manager." The soul slaves immediately responded.

Cheng Zongyang came to the second box. There were some jade boxes there, and each box was sealed with something like beeswax.

As the soul slaves moved the two separate boxes to the other side, Cheng Zongyang and Luo Dingran took out the things one by one and sent them to the fresh-keeping warehouse.

This ensures that after the items are opened, they will not be damaged by external gases and temperature changes.

"Sir, you handle this. I'll go count the gold, silver, and jewelry. Let Zhang Jinquan identify and handle these pills."

He knew what Cheng Zongyang was concerned about, so he asked Zhang Jinquan to help him deal with those bottles and jars.

Cheng Zongyang nodded.

After Luo Dingran left, Cheng Zongyang ignored the bottles and jars of pills, but placed the jade boxes on the ground one by one.

These jade boxes are of different sizes and there are not many of them. After counting, there are twenty-one.

When Cheng Zongyang's eyes fell on the jade box that was about thirty centimeters in size and as thick as a thumb, he had some guesses about its size. He took a dagger and cut open the waterproof beeswax layer. However, when he opened the box, he found a book inside.

The book is well preserved, without any damage or water damage, which means it is well preserved.

Cheng Zongyang took it out with a frown, but was a little surprised when he saw the title of the book.

【Divine Weapon Refining Method】

"Is this the secret method of the Huangfu family to forge divine weapons?"

Cheng Zongyang was curious and couldn't help but open it and read it.

"Sir." At this time, Zhang Jinquan came.

Cheng Zongyang said "hmm" without even looking up, "Take care of these pills, and tell me if there's anything special."

"Yes." Zhang Jinquan agreed immediately. He did not take it back to the pharmacy, but examined it here on the spot.

After being sealed for so long, only here can the medicinal efficacy be guaranteed not to be lost. Otherwise, the previous pills would be basically useless.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the contents attentively, but he only read the first few contents in detail and just flipped through the rest.

The book was very new, obviously copied. The content was also very detailed, recording almost all the processes of refining. The material ratio, refining temperature, forging times, etc. were all recorded in detail.

It can be said that those blacksmiths who know how to forge can take this book to learn, and if they have the materials, they can basically forge a magic weapon after a few tries.

"I don't know how many forces dream of the Huangfu family's secret method of forging magic weapons, and now it's in my hands." Cheng Zongyang was quite emotional. Then he thought that among those soul slaves, there seemed to be one with the talent of forging?

He checked the talents of the one hundred soul slaves he reshaped later, and they should have them.

This book of weapon refining methods can be taken to Chengjia Village later.

Putting it aside, he continued to "open the blind box".

As the jade boxes were opened one by one, it was discovered that what was contained inside were basically some advanced martial arts techniques and skills, as well as a number of elixir recipes.

He had no interest in martial arts, but after checking out the martial arts, he found that they were basically some knife and sword techniques, with a few hammer and stick techniques.

He handed the prescriptions to Zhang Jinquan and continued to check other things.

Finally, he saw a piece of animal skin in a palm-sized jade box. This was the only animal skin material among these things.

Just as he was about to check, Luo Dingran's voice came from outside.

"grown ups!"

Cheng Zongyang looked up and saw Luo Dingran walking in with something in his hand and an excited look on his face.

"My lord, I found it!"

Cheng Zongyang paused, and quickly stood up to look, only to see that he was holding two stone slabs in his hands.

When he finished reading the two stone tablets, he frowned and said, "Same characters. Where did the Huangfu family get them from?"

Luo Dingran went to the third floor and took down the stone slab.

Cheng Zongyang was puzzled, but Luo Dingran put the stone slab on the ground, took the other two from Cheng Zongyang, and put them together.

As a result, two of the three pieces matched.

This time, Cheng Zongyang was shocked and also surprised at Luo Dingran's attentiveness.

He had never thought that the stone slabs could be spliced ​​together. This also showed that the Huangfu family should have information on this aspect.

"Found it in those gold and silver boxes?" Cheng Zongyang looked at Luo Dingran and asked.

The latter nodded and said, "It's just placed down there. I've had people pour out all the gold and silver to check. I don't know if it's there yet."

Cheng Zongyang and Luo Dingran immediately walked out.

When he went out, he happened to meet a soul slave who was walking over with a few stone slabs.

Now, both of them became excited and quickly took it and continued to work on it.

In the end, a total of six stone slabs were pieced together to form a stone slab that was one meter long and one meter wide.

They still couldn't understand the characters above.

"Damn it, this is just keeping me in suspense!" Cheng Zongyang cursed.

At this time, Zhang Jinquan also came over and looked at the characters on it. He also couldn't understand them. He just said: "Looking at the format of this writing, it can't be some secret method or martial arts technique, right?"

Cheng Zongyang and Luo Dingran were silent when they heard this. They exchanged glances and both thought of something. They said almost at the same time:
"The Huangfu family's secret forging method!"

"Divine weapon refining method!"

Luo Dingran was puzzled. Cheng Zongyang showed him the secret book.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhang Jinquan and said, "There is something I need you to take care of. Check the body of the big fish to see if there are any extra bones in it. I suspect that the guard was eaten by that creature after he completed his mission and committed suicide, and even the monster bones on his body were swallowed by it!"

Zhang Jinquan heard this and said, "Yes."

He didn't take the pills and recipes with him, so he would have to check them later.

After Luo Dingran looked through some of them, he suddenly realized something:
"I never thought that the divine weapon forging method that is famous all over the world and sought after by countless people, which belongs only to the Huangfu family, is so complicated and profound. It is simply beyond the ordinary forging method. Could the content on this stone tablet really be the weapon refining method? The Huangfu family translated these characters and obtained this forging technique!"

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "It's possible. But it's still our guess."

Then he looked at the piece of animal skin beside him and picked it up again to look at it.

It turned out to be a letter. Luo Dingran, who was standing by, saw this and also walked to the side, tilted his head and read along:

-

【To Huangfu’s descendants】

I won't say much, time is of the essence. I, the current clan leader Huangfu Feiye, would like to inform my descendants:
The Huangfu family has encountered a disaster and is no longer able to resist the conspiracy of the royal family and the seven clans. In an emergency, the Huangfu family's treasures and some other treasures are moved to two places for storage, which is also the foundation for the Huangfu family to make a comeback.

Remember, don't be high-profile before your family grows strong, and hope to revive the Huangfu lineage again.

The most precious thing is the stone carving, which must be preserved. It is the foundation for the revival of our Huangfu family! The stone carving translation is stored in the pillars of the ancestral hall of the Huangfu family.

Never forget the hatred of genocide!

-

There wasn’t much content, but Cheng Zongyang was excited watching it!
First, it can be confirmed that there are only two treasure troves.

Second, the Huangfu family really translated the contents of the stone carvings.

The third is to know the whereabouts of the translated content.

Fourthly, the importance of this stone carving far exceeds the method of refining magic weapons, which means that the content of this stone carving should not be the method of refining weapons, but something else!

Cheng Zongyang now looked at Luo Dingran and asked with a burning gaze:
"You said that the Huangfu family's territory was originally in Xiangyang and Linchuan. Then where is their ancestral land?"
