Chapter 9: The Philosopher's Stone
On the basement floor, Yang Ping was standing at the top of the stairs sweating profusely, and there was a tattered wooden box beside him: "Damn, what is in this box?" It can't be a box of stones, otherwise how could it be so heavy! โ
This tattered wooden box was naturally a gift from Sui Yu and Liuyin to Yang Ping, but the two guys went back to their rooms to sleep after eating, and no one helped Yang Ping move the box out of the dining room at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If it's someone else, it doesn't matter, and I'll definitely open the box on the spot to see what it contains. But I just met Yang Ping's ultimate obsessive-compulsive disorder, how can sundries be placed in the restaurant!
Although he went through a lot of hardships along the way, Yang Ping still won the final victory in the battle anyway! The tattered wooden box, which I don't know what it contained, was finally dragged to the basement.
It's not that Yang Ping doesn't want to put the box outside, but there has always been a famous saying in the Brave Continent: Fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-brave!
Although the brave is the main force against monsters, the reputation among civilians is really not good! At the beginning, relying on the divine power of God, the homes of civilians where the brave passed were basically searched, and the most professional robbers did not have this level!
It wasn't until the emergence of the Brave Association, which stipulated that the brave could not casually infringe on the personal property of civilians, that this sweeping wind was finally curbed, but this also became a black history that can never be erased by the brave group.
But the property of civilians is protected, but treasure chests and crockpots are not included in the regulations! Due to the influence of the other world, treasure chests and crockpots and the like can appear everywhere on this brave continent, and many brave people made a fortune by opening boxes and smashing crockpots!
The wooden chest looked tattered, but it was nominally a treasure chest. If it was placed on it and the other brave men saw it, Yang Ping would not even have a place to cry.
Anyway, Yang Ping has successfully moved the box to the basement floor, as for opening the box or something, let's talk about it later. Yang Ping's luck has not been good since he crossed into this world, and he doesn't want to do the treasure chest opening exercise that requires the most luck nowโeven if it's a broken wooden chest.
"There are still three gold coins left, and there are two more rice bucket type brave men, and the deficit has increased significantly! We can't go on like this, we have to find a way to get them both out! โ
Walking upstairs, Yang Ping's eyes automatically appeared in front of the terrifying scene of dinner just now, and a huge bead of sweat slowly slid down his head. Sui Yu and Liuyin are like rice buckets that have been sealed for thousands of years, if it weren't for Yang Ping's fast movements, he would definitely not be able to eat anything.
"Ding Dong!"
With a ding-dong sound, all the magic lights in the basement were extinguished in an instant! Immediately afterward, a soft white light slowly illuminated the entire basement. However, this soft white light seems to have a certain pattern, sometimes brightening and sometimes dimming, like human breathing.
For this weird white light, Yang Ping didn't have to think about it to know that it came from the tattered box that had just been pulled in. In the basement now, the only strange thing in addition to this box is the super rice cooker big brother.
But that rice cooker has been scratched all over its body since it was last played with as a toy by Meow all day! Yang Ping was also counting on using this rice cooker to summon his army of demon kings to make himself money, and he naturally couldn't watch his hopes dashed.
So desperately with the danger of being scratched to death by Nymeow, and the temptation/temptation of three fish and meat dinners, Yang Ping successfully made Nymeow promise not to enter the basement for half a step from now on!
After determining the light source, Yang Ping immediately turned around and walked towards the glowing tattered box. It takes luck to open the box, but as it stands, the contents of the box have been determined! It's definitely a good thing to be able to shine like this, and it's stupid not to go now!
There was originally a small lock on the broken box, but by the time Yang Ping reappeared in front of the box, the small lock had disappeared. Maybe I lost it when I moved it down, anyway, now is not the time to care about these details, without any hesitation, Yang Ping suddenly opened the tattered box. While opening the box, he silently recited an extraordinary term in his mouth - artifact!
The original white light was strong and weak, but the moment the box was opened, the dazzling white light immediately illuminated the entire basement. Yang Ping's two lines of tears had already been left in the light source, if he hadn't reacted fast enough, his eyes would have been blinded on the spot.
It took about a minute for Yang Ping's eyes to really relax. It was only now that he could see what the white light was!
There was only a black boulder of just the right size in the whole box, and there was a white stone the size of a slab and brick pressed on top of the boulder.
When Yang Ping saw everything clearly, the white brick was still emitting light, but he didn't know why the box was opened, and the light on the white brick gradually faded. If you look at it at this rate, it won't take a minute for the light on the white slabs to completely dissipate.
After seeing the white bricks, Yang Ping knew that his dream of artifact had been completely shattered, but with the mentality of giving it a try, he still threw the priest's own reconnaissance technique on the bricks.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Yang Ping, who saw the information of the bricks, stood completely in place, and if he had glasses, he would definitely have fallen to the ground now.
"Philosopher's Stone:
The sealing stone made by the legendary sage and brave, the sealing power is directly related to the strength of the light, and it is said that the legendary demon king can be perfectly sealed when the light is at its peak! The power of the Philosopher's Stone does not stop there, but since the collective disappearance of the legendary brave of that generation, the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone have also become a mystery.
โ
Yang Ping's basic information fully proves the strength of the white slab bricks, but for some reason, after reading this introduction, an ominous premonition echoed in Yang Ping's mind!
Since the sealing power is directly related to the light, the fading light on the Philosopher's Stone doesn't mean that its sealing power is rapidly decreasing! Since the power of the seal exists, coupled with the dazzling light when the box is opened......
Yang Ping didn't dare to continue thinking about it, the only thing he could do now was to close this broken wooden box immediately! As soon as Yang Ping's hand touched the wooden box, a strange suction force instantly spread throughout his body, and the rare energy in his body was consumed in an instant. However, with Yang Ping's "selfless dedication", the Philosopher's Stone, which was beginning to dim, once again emitted a dazzling white light.
Just as Yang Ping was struggling to insist, the mechanism leading to the bulletin room opened automatically, and a spherical object appeared on the stairs.
"The strongest monster in history, the Cracked Sky Seat, come to meet you!"
Cracked Sky Seat jumped down the stairs while shouting, and as soon as the word "Audience" was finished, he smashed on the Sage Stone in the box in Yang Ping's collapsed gaze!
