Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 77 Special Breath

"Want to see me?"

Zhao Zhen muttered something under her breath, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Before he could ask any more questions, Hu Tianbiao, who was possessing Gao Tian, ​​broke free of the possession.

"Eh, senior?"

"Never mind, Brother Zhao, Boss Biao has already left."

Gao Tian shook his head after regaining control of his body.

"What's going on? Why would the senior send me to the ancestral hall?"

Gao Tian and Gao Qing exchanged a glance, then both shook their heads.

"We don't know about this either."

"But didn't Brother Gao Qing just say that the ancestral hall is a forbidden area for your Gao family? Is it okay for me to go there like this?"

"Oh, what do you mean by 'forbidden place' or 'not forbidden place'? It's just that the elders are worried that the younger generation will disturb the peace of the immortals if they go to the ancestral hall, and that it will displease these ancestors."

Now that Master Biao has personally invited you, Brother Zhao, you should just go.

"Shouldn't we inform Patriarch Gao?" Zhao Zhen frowned.

"No need! What those spirits in the ancestral hall want to do is none of my business, even if my father came."

"Ah."

Gao Tian nodded, his eyes filled with respect as he looked at Zhao Zhen.

He was now completely convinced; the two were simply not on the same level.

Even if he had the power of Master Biao, he was no match for Zhao Zhen.

When facing Zhao Zhen, Gao Tian felt that he was not facing a peer at all, but rather a senior expert who was much older than him.

No wonder he was able to subdue the younger generation within the pass single-handedly; he truly lived up to his reputation.

"Alright then, I'll go take a look."

Zhao Zhen nodded, then turned and walked towards the ancestral hall he had passed on the way here.

Should we follow them and see?

"No need," Gao Tian shook his head.

"Just before Boss Biao left, he specifically told us not to follow him."

"alright."

Gao Qing shrugged, but didn't say anything more.

A moment later, Zhao Zhen walked outside the ancestral hall.

Before even entering, Zhao Zhen felt a chilling aura rushing towards him.

The area around the ancestral hall was eerily quiet; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

What's even stranger is that Zhao Zhen used to see all sorts of creatures elsewhere, like small insects.

Once inside the ancestral hall, you can't even see the shadow of an ant on the ground!
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zhen slowly pushed open the ancestral hall door and stepped inside.

Inside the ancestral hall, facing the main gate, is a faded red cloth covering an old wooden offering table.

Three thick incense sticks burned slowly in the bronze incense burner, their blue smoke rising and swirling like a thin veil.

The ancestral tablets were faintly visible through the smoke, with a dark red wooden plaque bearing the three characters "Liu Kunsheng" standing prominently in the center, surrounded by the names of other deities.

On another wooden plaque, Zhao Zhen also saw the memorial tablet of Hu Tianbiao, whom he had just fought.

The surface of the memorial tablet is covered with a layer of dark patina from years of incense burning. The solid yellow earth surface gleams coldly in the shadows, and traces of mud from hasty repairs during the relocation remain between a few brick joints.

The cramped tile-roofed house had only one narrow window letting in a hazy ray of sunlight, through which smoke and dust floated and sank.

The entire ancestral hall was shrouded in a somber atmosphere, as if the air itself had frozen, with only the occasional soft sound of incense ash breaking the silence.

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and respectfully clasped his hands in a salute to the numerous ancestral tablets on the table. "Junior Zhao Zhen greets all seniors."

rustle~
A rustling sound slowly arose, and when Zhao Zhen raised his head again, a black snake several meters long appeared in front of him!

"Little one, we meet again."

The black snake flicked its tongue and spoke in human language!

Without a doubt, this must be Liu Kunsheng, whom I met in Shenyang that night.

"Greetings, Senior Liu."

"Tsk, this kid got here really fast."

A yellow fox slowly walked out from beside Liu Kunsheng.

"Greetings, Senior Hu."

"No need for that, Zhao Zhen. Did you enjoy tricking me just now?"

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and said calmly, "Senior Hu is too kind. My cultivation is still shallow. If I don't use some special methods, how can I be your match?"

"Hey, Lao Liu, you know what, this kid's actually pretty good at talking!"

Liu Kunsheng didn't speak, but carefully examined Zhao Zhen in front of him.

"Senior Liu?"

Just as Zhao Zhen was about to ask what was wrong with him, Liu Kunsheng suddenly spoke up: "There's no mistake, it is indeed the aura of alchemy."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

“Zhao Zhen, you must have practiced alchemy, right? It’s the method of Zhang Boduan, the founder of the Southern School of Alchemy, also known as Ziyang Mountain Man.”

Hu Tianbiao spoke directly.

"Yes, this junior has indeed practiced the alchemy techniques left behind by the Hermit of Ziyang Mountain."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and then asked, "How did you two seniors know this?"

“Naturally, it’s through the special aura emanating from you,” Liu Kunsheng replied.

"Young man, you may not know this, but those who cultivate the alchemy of the Ziyang Mountain Man will have a special aura on their bodies."

You humans may not be able to detect it, but for us beasts, this aura is extremely tempting, because it can help us cultivate!

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow. He had never heard of his own aura being able to promote the cultivation of "immortals".

Suddenly, Zhao Zhen remembered the monkeys in the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley.

Compared to ordinary monkeys, those monkeys clearly had more human-like features!
Could it be that this is the reason?

If that's the case, could it be that these "immortals" summoned me here specifically to detain me and help them cultivate?

Thinking of this, a look of vigilance flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes, and the Golden Light Talisman in his bosom was silently placed between his fingertips.

If things look bad, run first!

"You don't need to be nervous. Although it's true that your aura can help our cultivation, we also know that you can't stay here forever."

Seemingly sensing Zhao Zhen's wariness, Liu Kunsheng spoke up again to reassure him.

"Then what brings you two seniors here to ask me about alchemy? Could it be that you only want to ask me about alchemy techniques?"

"To be honest, if I had met you a few hundred years earlier, I probably would have chosen to follow you without hesitation."

Unfortunately, now that we have accepted the Gao family's offerings, there is no reason for us to abandon them so easily.

"Boy?"

"Ok?"

Zhao Zhen turned her gaze to Hu Tianbiao, who was standing to the side.
