618: 336 Soup Spring_2 618: 336 Soup Spring_2 All twelve zodiacs have arrived!
Fang Zhixing’s mind moved, his gaze passing over the four chs, his pupils involuntarily contracting.
He saw, embedded in the deepest part of the wall, three large doors hanging with plaques.
They were, in order, the Imperial Garden, the Jinluan Hall, and the Hot Spring Palace!
Xigou also saw them and exclaid, “Eh, doesn’t condition 6 require us to take a bath in the Hot Spring Palace?”
Fang Zhixing transmitted his voice, “I never expected the Hot Spring Palace I was looking for to be here!”
The reason he entered the Ancient Imperial Forbidden Zone was to find the Three-Life Stone.
Who would have thought…
Xigou couldn’t help but shiver with excitent, shouting, “If we’re lucky, there should also be a Dragon Chair here!”
Fang Zhixing agreed deeply, felt his emotions stirring imnsely.
“Yo-ho, everyone’s here!”
The Head cha of the Pig approached and greeted the four chs with a laugh, “Don’t be nervous, I and Brother Dragon, Brother Dog, an no harm.”
The Ox responded first, “We also have no intention of fighting.”
The Head cha of the Pig asked, “Why don’t I see the Rooster?”
The Monkey with a deep voice answered, “Dead, I’ve seen his corpse.”
The Head cha of the Pig nodded, understanding, and asked with a laugh, “What are you guys doing here, why not go inside?”
The Ox quickly replied, “There are three doors here, we are discussing which one to enter.”
The Head cha of the Pig clapped his hands, “Is there even a need to discuss, obviously it should be the Jinluan Hall, there must be the most treasures inside.”
The Ox responded, “That’s what we thought too, but the Jinluan Hall is undoubtedly the most dangerous place, it’s too dangerous for one person to explore alone.”
The Head cha of the Pig understood, laughing, “Joining hands is necessary, no matter how many treasures, nothing is more important than saving one’s life.”
The Ox excitedly said, “Great, how about the seven of us make a break for the Jinluan Hall together?”
The Head cha of the Pig looked towards Fang Zhixing, asking, “What do you say, Brother Dragon?”
Fang Zhixing was silent for a mont, then spoke cautiously, “It’s impossible to predict how dangerous the Jinluan Hall really is.
My idea is to first take a look at either the Hot Spring Palace or the Imperial Garden.”
Everyone fell into silence at once.
The Head cha of the Pig thought for a bit then nodded, “That’s also true, if we can’t deal with the Hot Spring Palace or the Imperial Garden, then naturally there’s no need to go to the Jinluan Hall.”
The four Oxen hesitated.
Seeing this, Fang Zhixing sneered inwardly and walked straight towards the Hot Spring Palace, pushing open the large door with his hand.
The door opened slowly, and the room was filled with a dazzling light, blinding to the eyes.
“You all take your ti discussing, I’ll go ahead first.”
Braving the radiant light, Fang Zhixing stepped across the threshold.
Xigou followed swiftly without any dawdling.
“This…”
The Head cha of the Pig hesitated.
In the end, he didn’t follow.
After all, the Hot Spring Palace is a place for bathing, what treasures could it possibly have?
Better to go to the Imperial Garden!
The next mont, the door closed slowly.
The blinding light in front of Fang Zhixing faded, and he imdiately surveyed his surroundings.
At this mont, he stood at the edge of a pool.
The pool was small, only about as long and wide as a grown man’s height.
Not even a ter beyond the pool, there was the wall.
Fang Zhixing crouched down, carefully observing the pool, whose surface was covered with a layer of golden water, as if it were solidified.
“Is this really where the Emperor bathed?”
Xigou paced around the pool, feeling it was quite small, and said with disbelief, “Might as well go to a public bathhouse.”
But Fang Zhixing curiously asked, “Why would they build a Hot Spring Palace here?”
Xigou thought for a mont, then replied, “Could it be that the forr Emperor really loved bathing?”
Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes.
Xigou continued, “But never mind that for now, you have to take off your ch to enter the hot spring for a bath, exposing yourself to harsh radiation; think about how dangerous that is.”
Fang Zhixing remained silent, observing for a while before suddenly waving his hand, causing a gust of wind to arise.
The previously still water in the pool suddenly rippled, the golden liquid on the surface rolling forward.
Clear green water was then revealed to their eyes.
The green water brimd with the luster of jade, crystal-clear, indescribably beautiful.
At that mont, Fang Zhixing’s gaze sharpened as he spotted an inscription at the corner of the pool:
“Hot Spring Spirit Liquid, delays the corrosion of gold.”
Fang Zhixing’s eyebrows raised in realization.
No wonder the beautiful Wang said the Emperor and Empress might still be alive.
It turns out the Hot Spring Palace has its wonderful uses!
Without further hesitation, Fang Zhixing got into the pool and lay down.
Then, he tapped on his chest.
The Divine Dragon cha imdiately opened up and detached from Fang Zhixing’s body, transforming back into a statue of a divine dragon.
Water from the pool surged forth, enveloping Fang Zhixing’s entire body.
The System Panel flashed with light and a countdown tir appeared.
[01:00:00]
[00:59:59]
…
At the sa mont, in front of the three gates.
After much deliberation, the ugly ox and his four companions finally made a decision.
Together, they entered the Imperial Garden.
As the door opened, a flood of golden light burst forth.
Braving the golden glow, the five pressed forward.
Soon, the brilliance of the light waned.
What ca into view was an incredibly vast space, stretching over a kiloter in length and width, with a height reaching over a hundred ters.
This expanse contained pavilions and pergolas, scattered gardens, ancient cypresses and wisteria, and artificial mountains and pools, all in the classical style of an imperial garden.
Beneath their feet lay a beautiful garden, with a profusion of blossoms.
However, all of the flowers had turned to gold, like lifeless tallic sculptures.
The air was devoid of any scent of flowers, silent as the grave.
“Be careful…”
The ugly ox and his companions explored cautiously, neither too quickly nor too slowly.
[00:00:03]
[00:00:02]
Ti was up!
[6, Enter the Hot Spring Palace and soak for more than one hour (Completed)]
Whoosh~
Fang Zhixing erged from the water, feeling completely refreshed.
The Hot Spring Spirit Liquid was incredibly peculiar; imrsing oneself in it was like being washed with mother’s milk, bringing a feeling of infant-like tranquility.
“Aweso!”
Fang Zhixing grabbed the Divine Dragon statue, donned it once more, and leaped out of the pool.
Xigou lay on the side and scoffed, “Just look at what’s happened to the pool after your soak; it’s practically all turned to gold.”
Turning his head, Fang Zhixing then noticed that over two-thirds of the pool had turned into a golden liquid, seemingly ruined.
“Well, the Hot Spring Spirit Liquid is definitely great stuff, it’s just too bad we can’t take it with us,” he remarked.
Fang Zhixing turned and walked out, stepping outside.
Xigou asked, “Where to now?”
Fang Zhixing looked first toward the Imperial Garden, then set his sights on Jinluan Hall.
“You’re not thinking of challenging the forr emperor, are you?” Xigou asked in shock.
Fang Zhixing replied, “I’m Five Elents Undying, after all.
As long as the forr emperor can’t kill , there’s nothing to fear.”
Xigou was about to say sothing when suddenly, the gates of the Imperial Garden swung open.
A figure darted out.
It was none other than the Sheep cha!
Fang Zhixing and Xigou tensed up, readying themselves for battle.
The Sheep cha suddenly gestured and said, “An Baopu, it’s !”
Fang Zhixing raised an eyebrow, “Great Black Buddha Mother!”
The Sheep cha nodded, “I recognized you earlier.”
Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes, “How did you know it was ?”
The Great Black Buddha Mother carefully explained, “You had inquired of the eunuchs and palace girls whether there was a Hot Spring Palace inside the palace.
That’s when I suspected that you wished to enter it.
However, I can’t understand how, besides , you knew of the existence of this Hot Spring Palace?”
Fang Zhixing was montarily speechless, responding flatly, “Would you believe if I said it was a coincidence?”
But the Great Black Buddha Mother didn’t dwell on that, instead, she turned towards Jinluan Hall and called out, “We’re short on ti, let’s go inside and talk.”
Yet Fang Zhixing stood still and asked, “Why’s there a rush on ti?”
The Great Black Buddha Mother looked back, “The ugly ox, the hidden tiger, the monkey of Shen, and the pig of Hai have all confird their identities and ford an alliance.
I can tell you that one of them possesses the Imperial Bloodline.”
Fang Zhixing found his breath montarily hitched.
The Great Black Buddha Mother continued, “My identity is now exposed as well, and you bear the Great Reversal Curse Seal; from now on, you and I are tied to the sa fate!”
Fang Zhixing fell silent for a mont before asking, “Where is the Three-Life Stone?”
The Great Black Buddha Mother smiled, “What if I told you it’s inside Jinluan Hall, would you believe that?”
With that, she pushed the door open and dashed inside.
“…”
A twitch forming at the corner of his mouth, Fang Zhixing followed suit.
Xigou likewise followed closely behind.
As the endless golden light slowly dimd…
