Chapter 831 The Queen Mother of the West Who Cannot Be Understood

Will the Queen Mother of the West reward herself?

Everything will be fine as long as the Queen Mother of the West doesn't kill herself.

While Zhang Chen was secretly slandering in his heart, he saw the Queen Mother of the West on the altar suddenly open her eyes, looked at Zhang Chen who was waiting under the altar, and said, "Come up to the stage!"

As the Queen Mother of the West finished speaking, the operation of the innate formation also stopped, and the entire altar returned to silence. The Queen Mother of the West was then surrounded by divine light, making it impossible to see her figure clearly.

Zhang Chen quickly climbed up to the altar, came before the Queen Mother of the West, and bowed to her: "Greetings, Queen Mother."

Queen Mother Xi was stunned when she heard this. She looked Zhang Chen up and down with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Why didn't you die under the punishment from heaven?"

Zhang Chen was speechless when he heard this, and cursed inwardly: "You will only be satisfied if I die under the punishment of heaven? You are simply too much. Even if you don't care about my life, you can't ask me like this, right?"

Although Zhang Chen complained in his heart, he did not dare to show it on his face. Instead, he said to the Queen Mother of the West very sincerely and obediently: "I don't know why I was safe and sound after the punishment that day. Even I am surprised."

Queen Mother of the West looked Zhang Chen up and down. Zhang Chen thought that Queen Mother of the West would take action to check if there was anything abnormal on his body, but who knew that the next moment, lightning flashed in Queen Mother of the West's sleeves, and a terrifying lightning shot out from Queen Mother of the West's fingertips and flew towards Zhang Chen.

"My Queen, please spare my life!" Zhang Chen's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the lightning. The lightning was so terrifying that, let alone himself, even a being at the fruition level would be killed by a single blow!

Zhang Chen's mind flashed with thoughts. At the moment he was thinking about whether he should use the Ice Field, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment in the deepest part of his soul suddenly jumped slightly. Then Zhang Chen's mind flashed a trace of enlightenment, and he stopped activating the Ice Field. The next moment, the lightning approached Zhang Chen and disappeared without a trace.

It seemed as if it had disappeared out of thin air, but in fact, the Eye of Punishment absorbed the lightning that struck Zhang Chen.

"My Queen, please spare me! My Queen, please spare me! I know nothing! I know nothing!" Zhang Chen seemed to be in a state of panic. He kept begging the Queen Mother of the West, hoping that she would let him go.

Hearing Zhang Chen's call, Queen Mother of the West showed a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes. She looked at Zhang Chen quietly without saying a word.

Zhang Chen seemed to realize at this moment that he was alive, so his shouting gradually stopped and his eyes stared blankly at the Queen Mother of the West, as if he didn't know what had happened.

The next moment, lightning was seen surging in the sleeves of the Queen Mother of the West, and then dozens of horrifying lightning bolts struck Zhang Chen. All the lightning bolts disappeared out of thin air the moment they touched Zhang Chen, as if they did not exist in the world.

Zhang Chen secretly observed his own Eye of Heavenly Punishment. As the lightning bolts were swallowed up, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment remained the same as before and did not cause any changes.

"How strange!" Queen Mother of the West finally spoke. One could tell that her voice was full of surprise. Then she stretched out her hand and took Zhang Chen away. She casually touched Zhang Chen's brow and began to observe Zhang Chen's acupoints, meridians, and soul. She let go of her hand after a long while. Her eyes looked at Zhang Chen quietly. No one knew what she was thinking.

Zhang Chen felt the power of the Queen Mother of the West constantly passing through his body and acupoints. He felt a sense of frustration at the unbridled exploration, but he was powerless and could only allow the other party to explore. The feeling of frustration made him want to just draw his sword and chop people.

"My queen... my body???" Zhang Chen looked at the Queen Mother of the West with trepidation on his face. He knew of course that the Queen Mother of the West could not see the mystery of his Eye of Heavenly Punishment, nor could she detect any abnormality in his body, but he had to put on an attitude of fear.

"You are really an anomaly. Not only have you cultivated your primordial spirit by chance, but you also have a special physique that makes you immune to the power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth. You are even immune to the power of heavenly punishment. It's really incredible." The Queen Mother of the West's voice was full of curiosity.

Being immune to the power of thunder and lightning is already strange, but being immune to even the power of heavenly punishment is not strange at all, it is simply against the will of heaven.

Zhang Chen listened to the words of the Queen Mother of the West, not knowing what to say. He just stood there quietly, wondering in his heart how the Queen Mother of the West would deal with him.

Just as countless thoughts were flowing through his mind, he saw the Queen Mother of the West saying to the blue bird beside him: "Biyun."

"Your Majesty." Biyun flew up from below and stood beside Zhang Chen.

"From now on, place Jia Shiba in the Medicine Refining Hall and he is not allowed to leave without an imperial order." Queen Mother of the West ordered.

Empress Biyun bowed, glanced at Zhang Chen, grabbed Zhang Chen, and rode away on the white crane. Zhang Chen sat on the white crane, speechless: Is this the end? There is no reward at all!
"The Medicine Refining Hall is where the Queen Mother refines the elixir of immortality. The Queen Mother wanted to refine a magical medicine that could make people immortal, so she set up the Medicine Refining Hall." Queen Mother Biyun hesitated for a moment, explained to Zhang Chen, and then warned: "You must be careful when you go to the Medicine Refining Hall. Your physique has aroused the Queen Mother's curiosity. I'm afraid that the Queen Mother wants to study your physique so that you can deal with the power of heavenly punishment."

Zhang Chen was speechless when he heard this. He didn't know what to say. After a while, he tentatively asked, "Will there be fatal risks in the Medicine Refining Hall?"

Empress Biyun glanced at Zhang Chen without saying a word. She just turned her head and continued to steer the white crane through the mountains.

The white crane glided through the void, and what came into view was a very steep mountain. The area around the mountain had been developed into a medicine garden covering an area of ​​100 miles. The medicine garden was lush and green, with countless spiritual herbs growing in it, and there were also strong men carefully weeding and catching insects for the spiritual herbs.

A strange medicinal fragrance permeates the mountains. One breath of it makes the pores of your internal organs open up, and an indescribable feeling of comfort surges into your heart.

"What a huge medicinal garden!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Empress Biyun kept flying the crane all the way to a palace, stopped in the square, and then got off the crane with Zhang Chen. Empress Biyun was seen leading the way and introducing the layout of the palace to Zhang Chen.

"There are eight hundred and eighty-eight palaces here, and eighty-eight medicine refining halls, each of which refines a certain kind of elixir that can prolong the life of monsters and enhance the essence of their blood. There are eighty-eight processing halls, which are used to prepare various medicinal materials. There are also eighty-eight medicine planting halls, which are responsible for researching the planting of elixir, and eighty-eight medicine testing halls..." Empress Biyun introduced the entire hall to Zhang Chen like a treasure trove, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Interesting!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

He likes to refine medicine. After all, if he can research some strange elixir in this era, he can imitate the Queen Mother of the West and refine it when he returns to the real world.

"And as for the Creation Fire Spirit, I must find a chance to take it away. The Queen Mother of the West is such a rough guy. Since she asked me to take the thunder punishment and doesn't care about my life or death, then I don't have to be polite anymore." Thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind.

Empress Biyun led Zhang Chen to a hall, only to find that the hall was empty except for a medicine furnace emitting faint flames, as if there was a mysterious power surrounding it.

A unique fragrance lingered in the hall. After Zhang Chen smelled this fragrance, his soul was actually nourished.

There was a unique flame burning under the medicine furnace. Zhang Chen felt the energy of the flame and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes: "That is the power of the Creation Fire Spirit! It contains the unique power of the Creation Fire Spirit."

"The reason why the Fire Spirit of Creation survived is that the Queen Mother of the West wanted to refine elixirs and copper and iron, so the other three of the Four Spirits of Creation died, and only the Fire Spirit of Creation was saved by the Queen Mother of the West. But this place leads directly to the Fire Spirit of Creation, which is convenient for me." Zhang Chen had a thought in his mind, and then he was pulled back by the words of Queen Biyun:
"You will stay in this palace from now on, waiting for the Queen Mother's orders."

When Lady Biyun said this, her voice was somewhat serious: "The Queen Mother has ordered that you must not leave the Medicine Refining Hall, so you must not leave this place unless necessary in the future. Otherwise, if the Queen Mother punishes you, you will be killed."

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he had remembered it. Empress Biyun then took Zhang Chen around the hall and gave him a tour. She did not tell him what to do specifically, but just told him to stay in the hall. She then turned into a stream of light and left.

Watching Lady Biyun disappear, Zhang Chen swept his eyes across the entire hall. He saw that except for the medicine furnace in the center of the hall, there were shelves on all sides, and gourds and jade bottles were neatly placed on the shelves.

The gourd was glowing with fluorescence, showing that it was a rare spiritual object, and the mouth of the jade bottle emitted colorful light, as if divine water was rippling inside.

The shelf was divided into thousands of small grids, and mysterious power flowed in each small grid, making it look very extraordinary.

"Could it be the elixir made by the Queen Mother?" Zhang Chen glanced at the small grids with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Then Zhang Chen continued to stroll around the hall and found a cloud bed with a pile of golden scrolls on it. He looked at the scrolls with curiosity, but did not dare to approach rashly.

After walking around the hall, Zhang Chen honestly found a place, sat on the ground and thought about what he should do next.

Apart from anything else, he had to take the Creation Fire Spirit away. How could he stop when the Queen Mother of the West plotted against him? He had to get his revenge.

The flames here can directly lead to the Creation Fire Spirit. Perhaps he can find an opportunity to take the Creation Fire Spirit back first, and then think about how to break the deadlock. After all, he always feels that the word "alchemy" is not a good word, and it makes him have an ominous premonition in his heart.
