Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

Chapter 345 Top-grade elixir

He was delighted and quickly called out to Qingluo who was searching not far away to come and join him.

Not long after, Qingluo came running over after hearing the noise. When she saw the extremely simple and dilapidated little house in front of her, she couldn't help but frown slightly, but soon smiled softly and said to Wang Zhan in a gentle voice, "Perhaps there is another secret in this house. Let's go in and take a look."

After saying that, the two looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to convey a tacit understanding and caution.

Then, they took cautious steps and slowly approached the closed door.

Wang Zhan reached out his hand and gently fumbled in the slightly worn bag, and finally found a key.

He took it out, inserted it into the keyhole, and began to try to open the door lock.

However, the first key was not suitable, so he tried the second key, the third key... and after changing several keys in succession, there was suddenly a crisp sound of unlocking.

With a creaking sound, the door was slowly pushed open.

Wang Zhan and Qing Luo poked their heads into the house and saw that the furnishings inside were extremely simple.

In the center was a single bed covered with a sheet that had been washed so much that it looked white; beside the bed was a small wooden table with an oil lamp and a few yellowed books on it; and in the corner stood a huge cabinet, with no other unnecessary items.

Although there were few things in the room, the whole room looked quite tidy and clean.

Wang Zhan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that although this evil farmer looks a bit wretched, he is actually a very clean person."

Qingluo on the side frowned. She looked around and felt that there was something weird about this place.

After thinking for a moment, her eyes moved slightly, as if she was thinking of a countermeasure quickly in her mind.

Finally, she opened her red lips and said softly, "In my opinion, we should hurry and search here to see if there is anything useful to us. After all, I always feel that these keys may be able to open other things. There may be something good in that big cabinet!"

Hearing Qingluo's words, Wang Zhan, who was a little dazed, came back to his senses in an instant. He looked at Qingluo and nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with her idea.

Immediately, the two walked side by side towards the cabinet that stood in the corner of the room and looked particularly huge and mysterious.

When they stood steadily in front of the cabinet, Wang Zhan first took a deep breath, then he stretched out his right hand, tightly grasped the cold and rusty handle of the cabinet door, and then began to pull the cabinet door carefully and slowly.

As the cabinet door was gradually opened, a stale and decayed smell hit me in the face.

However, within this slightly unpleasant smell, there is a hint of mystery.

Looking closely, I saw that the space inside the cabinet was not large, but there were very few items placed inside - only a book that looked tattered, with yellowed pages and severely worn edges, and a small but also slightly old box.

Qingluo was the first to reach out and take out the tattered scroll. She gently opened the cover, and what came into view were pages of paper densely covered with all kinds of strange runes.

These runes are intertwined with each other to form a series of obscure patterns. At first glance, they look like a very special and rare set of skills.

Qingluo couldn't help but show joy on her face, and exclaimed excitedly: "Wow, this might be some kind of lost martial arts technique!"

At the same time, Wang Zhan was not idle either. He cast his eyes on the small box lying quietly in the corner of the cabinet.

Although this box is not big, it is made with quite fine craftsmanship. A small gem is inlaid on the lid, emitting a faint light.

What was even more eye-catching was that there was an exquisite little lock hanging on the box, and Wang Zhan happened to have a few unused keys left in his hand.

He had an idea and immediately picked up a key and inserted it into the keyhole. He heard a crisp "click" and the small lock opened.

With full anticipation, Wang Zhan gently opened the lid of the box.

In an instant, it seemed as if the whole world was illuminated by a special light.

Wang Zhan widened his eyes and stared at the source of the light, his heart full of anticipation and curiosity. Wang Zhan saw the scene in the box clearly.

I saw a crystal clear pill that looked like it was carved from crystal lying there quietly.

This pill exudes a mysterious and charming luster all over, making it difficult for people to look away at first glance.

Just the moment he opened the box, Wang Zhan, with his powerful perception, immediately realized that this pill was no ordinary item.

The reason is simple, it's because an extremely rich elixir energy is continuously emanating from the elixir.

This Dan Qi was like a substance, and it quickly spread out as soon as it came into contact with the air.

Wang Zhan only felt that the true energy in his body seemed to be attracted by something strongly, and began to become restless involuntarily.

This feeling was both strange and exciting. He knew very well that a pill that could cause such a reaction in his true Qi must have efficacy and value beyond imagination.

"Such a rich elixir aura! This elixir is truly extraordinary. Just the aura alone is so rich, it must be at least a top-grade elixir." Wang Zhan couldn't help but mutter to himself, his eyes flashing with surprise and admiration.

Just as Wang Zhan was immersed in his admiration for this magical pill, Qingluo came over with an ancient book of martial arts in her hand.

She looked at the box in Wang Zhan's hand with great interest and asked, "This pill looks so extraordinary. What are you going to do with it?"

Hearing Qingluo's question, Wang Luche pondered for a moment.

At this time, Wang Zhan's eyes never left the pill, and various possibilities were quickly considered in his mind.

Finally, Wang Zhan slowly raised his head, his eyes solemn. As he opened his lips slightly, he spoke in a low voice, "In my opinion, the grade of this elixir must be quite high, at least top-grade. It's unbelievable! This old man, Xie Nong, actually possesses such a precious item. However, what I find inconceivable is why he doesn't just swallow it himself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhan frowned tightly, and a look of deep doubt appeared on his face.

Qingluo, who was standing nearby, stared at the pill and after a moment's thought, said softly, "Perhaps his body can't withstand the powerful medicinal power contained in this pill."

"After all, judging by his frail condition, even if he managed to swallow the pill, he would probably have difficulty digesting and absorbing its essence. Therefore, he has been holding onto it, intending to find a suitable opportunity to sell it in exchange for what he needs."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan couldn't help but nod slightly to show his agreement.

Then, as if recalling something important, Qingluo spoke, "My father mentioned before that the higher the grade of the elixir, the more demanding the person's condition is. This is especially true for top-grade elixirs like this one, whose medicinal power is as powerful as a surging torrent. If someone forcefully swallows and attempts to absorb it, the immense energy released by the elixir itself could very likely backfire on the person, even taking their life. Therefore, most people, faced with such top-grade elixirs, often have to sell them off; their bodies simply can't withstand such potent medicinal power."

After hearing this explanation, Wang nodded in sudden enlightenment and said to himself, "I see. No wonder that old man Xie Nong didn't dare to try to absorb this pill easily. But..."
