Chapter 7: A Bountiful Harvest
Gu Yan walked up to the bluestone table and reached out to touch the metal lock.
It feels warm to the touch, clearly not ordinary metal.
He looked at the skeleton behind the stone table, where three black keys were hanging from its palm.
Gu Yan looked at it carefully again and found that the skeleton did not have a storage ring on its hand.
"Senior, please forgive me." Gu Yan bowed respectfully.
After letting out a soft breath, Gu Yan stepped forward, carefully took the key off, and placed it on the stone table.
Then, he lifted the skeletal arm and gently squeezed it.
Click!
With a soft crack, its bony arm split open.
In the gap between the bones, Gu Yan saw a small scroll.
Gu Yan's face immediately turned red.
"Fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Diagram!"
Gu Yan carefully pulled the fragment of the map out from the gap in his arm bone, unfolded it, glanced at it, and then put it into his storage ring.
"With three locked boxes in front of you, keys hanging from your hand, not even trying to hide them, and so many gold coins and jewels displayed, and precious herbs planted, yet you've hidden this fragment of the map deep inside your arm bone. Senior, are you trying to prevent anyone who comes here from finding this fragment?"
Generally speaking, when people enter caves left behind by their predecessors in search of opportunities, most of them will not break the skeletons to see if there are any treasures.
Unless it's the remains of a Dou Sheng powerhouse.
"The question is, how did you put it in there?"
Gu Yan was puzzled.
But that's no longer important.
Gu Yan shook his head, carefully wiped the dust off the bone arm, and then gently put it back.
"I need to see Hai Bodong later; he also has a copy."
"But we need to find a way to subdue him first."
Gu Yan shook his head. "Let's talk about it later."
Composing himself, Gu Yan returned to the stone platform and picked up the key to unlock it.
Looking at the stone box, Gu Yan wanted to lick his lips like Xiao Yan, but in the end he didn't.
He randomly selected one of the three keys, then grabbed the metal lock and carefully reached inside.
"That's not it."
The key was stopped just as it was inserted a little.
Gu Yan didn't care, shrugged, pulled out the key, and replaced it with another one.
"Wrong again."
Gu Yan smiled helplessly. How come his luck is the same as Xiao Yan's?
He gripped the last key tightly; this time, everything would be fine.
Soon, with a crisp click, the metal lock was opened.
Gu Yan couldn't wait to open the lid of the stone box, feeling like he was winning a lottery.
Gu Yan paused slightly as his gaze fell upon the open stone box.
Inside was a colorful, antique-style scroll.
"The Seven-Colored Poison Sutra?"
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Looking at the few small characters on the side of the colorful scroll, Gu Yan thought of Little Fairy Doctor again.
After glancing at it casually for a couple of seconds, Gu Yan put it back.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he took out the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture and put it into his storage ring.
Continue by opening the second box.
Inside was a black scroll.
A line of small print appeared on the side of the scroll: "Advanced Xuan-rank Battle Skill: Eagle Wings!"
Gu Yan's face immediately lit up with joy.
"Flying combat skills are mine!"
Gu Yan had long desired to possess such a rare flying combat skill, especially one at the high-level of the Xuan rank.
As everyone knows, on the Dou Qi Continent, the weakest level required to take off and fly is Dou Ling cultivation.
However, even a Douling expert can only fly short distances.
Only those who are powerful enough to become Battle Kings or Battle Emperors can condense energy wings on their backs and soar freely in the sky.
This is what is known as "battle qi transforming into wings".
With this flying combat skill, even Gu Yan in his current state can possess wings and soar through the air.
This is taking a shortcut.
Holding the somewhat heavy black scroll in his hand, Gu Yan slowly exhaled, forcibly suppressing the joy in his heart.
He rolled up the scroll and opened the last box.
When Gu Yan saw what was inside, his eyes narrowed instantly.
Unlike the fire-attribute scroll he had imagined, there were actually two crimson scrolls inside!
Gu Yan picked up one of the documents and opened it.
"Advanced Xuan-rank Battle Skill: Roar of the Mad Lion".
It is an attack technique enhanced by sound waves.
"Great, great, it's a good treasure."
Gu Yan was not surprised by this.
After taking it into his ring, he looked at another scroll.
"Earth-Rank Beginner Cultivation Technique: Purple Extreme Blazing Sun Technique!"
Gu Yan held the scroll and almost let out a strange "hehehe" laugh.
What a wonderful surprise!
The cultivation method given by Hun Xuzi was not allowed to be practiced by the clansmen, but this cultivation method was just right.
An unexpected bonus!
According to the book, the third box was stolen by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group of Qingshan Town.
Later, Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, unleashed the high-level Xuan-rank combat skill, Mad Lion's Roar.
Everyone assumed that the box contained only that one high-level Xuan-rank combat technique.
It now seems that this senior did not only leave behind fighting techniques, but also passed down the cultivation methods he practiced.
A low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique is enough to revitalize an ordinary family!
After calming himself down, Gu Yan immediately sat down cross-legged in the stone chamber.
Soaring freely in the sky is almost everyone's dream.
For Gu Yan, flying has an even more important function.
That means running for your life.
In many critical situations, if you can fly, you have a much higher chance of escaping death.
Just like Xiao Yan, who was being chased by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
Holding the scroll in both hands, Gu Yan's breathing became heavy. He gently untied the carefully bound string on the scroll and then slowly unrolled it.
Two dark, somewhat chilling eagle wings immediately came into view.
The eagle wings, though seemingly drawn on a scroll, were subtly radiating heat.
The eagle's wings were jet black, with faint purple cloud patterns visible beneath.
It has a unique metallic texture when touched.
The feathers on the eagle's wings emitted a faint warmth. Gu Yan blew a breath on them, and the feathers fluttered as if they were real wings.
After observing, Gu Yan looked at the few lines of small print on the side.
"Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle, a fifth-tier flying magical beast. Legend has it that this beast possesses a rare bloodline of the ancient phoenix and ranks among the top flying magical beasts in terms of speed."
"The Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle is cunning and ferocious by nature, extremely difficult to capture, and only lives in the Cloud Mist region in the southern part of the continent."
"The fighting technique in this volume is called Eagle Wing, also known as Purple Cloud Wing. It took me and a few friends three years to successfully capture a Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle."
"By using secret methods to obtain its wings, this flying combat technique was finally formed and can be practiced by people."
"This fighting technique was drawn with my battle qi before my death. It can only be practiced by one person at a time. Remember this!"
After reading these words, Gu Yan nodded thoughtfully.
Although this powerful individual was already able to soar freely in the sky, perhaps it was a scientist's spirit, but in order to successfully create a scroll of flying combat techniques, he and his friends actually spent three years capturing the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle.
Moreover, what moved Gu Yan the most was the last line of text.
It was drawn with fighting spirit before his death...
The meaning is already very clear.
It is an opportunity prepared for future generations, a gift left for them.
Gu Yan couldn't help but feel admiration.
