Blessed with arcane runes, walls made of special metal shimmer.

After Wu Niang took over Qi Xuansu's body, Qi Xuansu became a bystander, that is, the usual position of Wu Niang, this feeling is quite novel.

I saw Wu Niang looking left and right, selected a rune from the many arcane runes, stretched out her hand and pressed it on it, the fire flashed, and the entire rune was dissolved.

In this way, this line of runes cannot form runic words.

Of course, it matters which rune to eliminate. The rune composition of a line of rune language also has a primary and secondary classification, just like a sentence, if you want to change the meaning of this sentence, you need to eliminate the key characters, if you just eliminate the mood particles such as "of" and "了", then it will not be.

This requires someone who is familiar with runes to do so. Even if Qi Xuansu has the strength to eliminate runes, if he is not familiar with these runes, it is useless, and maybe he will touch the rune ban and alarm Sophia.

Soon, Wu Niang erased one of the runes in the second line of runes, making this line of runes also ineffective.

The entire wall visibly darkened to the naked eye.

Qi Xuansu praised "good".

Wu Niang concocted the same method, and unraveled all the rune words in turn, so that the wall completely lost its light.

Then Wu Niang used her favorite flame again, ran on her palms, and pressed her hand against the wall, accompanied by a snorting sound and curling white smoke, directly melting the metal wall without the protection of runes into red molten iron, forming a human-height portal.

The light shone into the dim tunnel from the other side of the portal, and what appeared in front of Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang was an underground hall composed entirely of metal structures, covering a large area, not to mention more than a dozen acres, the whole was filled with a steam style, the metal pipes were as dense as the human meridians, and there were many gears directly outside, and the rune lamps embedded in the walls and ceilings illuminated the entire room.

The dome of the hall is very high, about three feet from the ground, and in the center of the ceiling there is a special blue rune lamp, which casts a three-dimensional projection of a city downward, suspended in the air, is St. York.

This is a completely different style from the East.

At the other end of the hall, there is a portal, behind which is a metal gondola that can carry people, vertically up and down.

This is the normal passage to enter this place, there are many "steam magistrates" guarding it, it is not difficult to storm in, it is a little difficult to get around these tin men quietly, after all, they are metal creations, and they are completely unaffected by spells such as ecstasy.

Qi Xuansu's gaze was quickly drawn to the platform in the center of the hall, which was somewhat similar in shape to the Holy Grail with the base removed

High, covering an area of about three acres, it is closely connected with the ground below, supplemented by various pipes, like blood vessels, to deliver energy for the "Holy Grail", the naked eye can see that the soft metal pipes are expanding and contracting, rushing to the main body one by one, and there are various instruments and gas valves on the tangled and intertwined metal pipes, and there are many metal chimneys above them, spitting steam smoke.

Wu Niang floated up and flew to the top of the platform.

Although the shape of the platform resembles a Holy Grail, it is not a real Holy Grail, it is not hollow inside, but solid, so the position of the cup mouth is a flat ground.

Here is a strange circle painted, with clear layers, one ring after another, a total of nine rings, and in the center there is a diamond-shaped multi-faceted stone suspended in the air, which is filled with bright red luster, as if blood is flowing slowly.

Qi Xuansu appeared beside Wu Niang and looked at the diamond-shaped stone, "What is this?"

Wu Niang has been in the West for many years, and she still has some knowledge, "It seems to be the 'Stone of the Sage'."

"What is the Philosopher's Stone?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Wu Niang said succinctly, "Westerners' 'longevity stones'."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh, "This scene seems familiar, the last woman who dug the basement to refine the 'Immortal Stone' was called Chen Shuhua, and it was also under the nose of an immortal. Chen Shuhua colluded with Gu Immortals, and Sophia sought the Apostle of Hell

Strength, it's just a mold out. Is there a pattern in this? Or did the two women discuss it in advance?"

Wu Niang said, "However, this 'Sage Stone' is only a half-finished product, and there is still a distance from the real refining, so this speaker is still inferior to Chen Shuhua. After all, Chen Shuhua has already succeeded, the Gu Immortal has descended, and she has also achieved the Immortal, but she has been suppressed by the Daomen, and this speaker is still on the road to success."

Wu Niang followed Jiang Dazhen to directly participate in the suppression of Chen Shuhua, so she naturally knew all kinds of situations well.

Qi Xuansu didn't care if these two ambitious women were "me in another world", he was more concerned about another thing, "Can I use it?"

"The two are not identical, and your 'Heart of the Immortal Stone' is an improved 'Immortal Stone', one is the Ancient Wiccan system, and the other is the Arcane Council system, I'm afraid it is incompatible. However, the stone of the mountain can be used to attack jade, take it back and hand it over to the Avatar Hall, let them study it, maybe they can gain something." Wu Niang gave a negative answer.

Qi Xuansu asked again, "Can you take it away?"

Wu Niang said, "Because it is a semi-finished product, it is returned."

You can't take it, and to take it now is to destroy it."

Qi Xuansu frowned, "Where's the secret key? Could it be that this half-finished 'Philosopher's Stone is the Key?'

Wu Niang pinched her chin and thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be. The principle of refining the 'Philosopher's Stone and refining the original version' of the Immortal Stone is the same, it requires a large amount of living power, and today's world is actually not good at collecting the power of living beings, even if Westerners do not treat slaves as people, they will also treat them as property, Westerners value profit over righteousness, and from the monetary cost, it is impossible to kill indiscriminately on a large scale. This would explain why Sophia sought the power of the Apostle of Hell, not for her own use, but for refining the 'Stone of the Philosopher's."

Qi Xuansu said, "Just like Chen Shuhua, without the power of living beings, he steals the dragon qi of the dragon vein, and these two people will find a replacement."

Wu Niang said leisurely, "After all, the way of the world has changed, and now that the external forces are so developed, who still cultivates honestly? They all rely on external forces to win, saving decades of hard work at once, and even breaking through their own ceilings. Aren't you an example? You really have to rely on your own penance, whether you can become an immeasurable celestial in this life has to be a question mark, but with the heart of the immortal stone, you can be an immortal before the age of forty, and the Taiyun back then was just like that, but do you know how much the price Taiyun paid to become an immortal?"

Qi Xuansu was speechless??.

Wu Niang changed the topic, "Whether you can move this 'Sage Stone' or not, you can make up your own mind."

Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought.

If the "Philosopher's Stone" is destroyed, then there is no doubt that all Sophia's plans will be destroyed, and Audrey will become irrelevant, after all, even the "Philosopher's Stone" does not exist, and there is no point in seeking the power of the Hell Apostle.

However, this move will definitely incur Sophia's revenge, and there is a high probability that Qi Xuansu has just made a move, and Sophia's side will immediately notice it, so there is no two-day buffer time, and Qi Xuansu's intention to dig a tunnel to enter here will be in vain, although Qi Xuansu can protect himself, but it is extremely difficult to take Audrey away.

Taking a step back, even if the "Philosopher's Stone" no longer exists, Sophia will not let Audrey go, but its importance has decreased. And according to Audrey, Cirilla's erosion of her is gradually deepening, and this erosion is irreversible unless she is completely cut off from Cirilla.

This has to say what is the fundamental purpose of Qi Xuansu.

He traveled all the way to the New World, not to compete with the Western version of Chen Shuhua, no matter what plans this Sophia had, it was a headache for the Holy Court.

What is Qi Xuansu considering? How is he going to stabilize the situation in Xidaomen and Tawantin? There's no way to start

He needs a suitable entry point, Audrey's traitor intelligence gave him this entry point, and if you want to get information, you have to put it

Audrey rescued.

Qi Xuansu made up his mind, "Don't touch it for the time being, don't startle the snake."

Wu Niang was a little sorry, but she didn't raise any objections.

She still knows that the big picture is important.

Qi Xuansu looked around, "Let's hurry up and find the key."

Wu Niang jumped off the platform.

In the corner of the underground hall there are several statues of armor that appear to be used for decoration, which is also the custom of Westerners, and the whole set of knights' armor is placed in castles or residences.

The knights' armor was standing silently, their surfaces decorated with various exotic patterns and arcane symbols, and their hands were holding their classical broadswords, motionless as statues.

As Wu Niang approached, the eyes of the armor lit up with a red light, and then spewed out white steam from the gaps in the armor.

Then I saw that these armors were actually moving, and the collision and friction of various parts made a clear sound.

These armors are also powered by the power of steam, and are clearly not the same thing as Colt's Sheriff Officer's series.

The steam-powered armor raised the big sword in his hand and rushed towards Wu Niang.

Wu Niang stretched out her left hand, stretched out her five fingers, and then clenched her fist violently.

A huge flame palm sprouted out of thin air, directly gripping a piece of armor, completely enveloping it.

The blazing flames instantly melted the armor into red molten iron.

"Your 'Izonotun's left hand is pretty good." Wu Niang kept clenching her fists, like fruit juice, squeezing these special guards into molten iron one by one.

This is the strength of the pseudo-immortal.

These special steam guards, whose bodies are not inferior to those of the gods and martial arts, have no power to fight back at all.

Changing to ordinary celestials to deal with these steam guards, I don't know how much it will cost

No matter how much effort you make, even if you can solve it, the disturbance will definitely alarm the guards above, and eventually lead to complete exposure. Where it is now, there is no movement except the sound of melting.

In all fairness, the guards here are not tight, but Sophia would definitely not have thought that there would be a dignified pseudo-immortal who would be a thief himself.

After Wu Niang dealt with the guards, she quickly found the secret key, which was shaped like a heart, the size of an ordinary bedroom, made entirely of steel and steam, and also connected to various metal pipes, corresponding to Audrey's statement.
