System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Zhang Hao pressed his body against the stone wall to adjust his breathing rhythm.

When his breathing rhythm matched the frequency of the mountain, this time no cracks appeared on the stone wall in front of him.

He felt a sudden dizziness, and after the uncomfortable feeling subsided, he found himself in a mysterious space.

He soon discovered that only his consciousness had entered this space, while his body remained in the same place.

This is a space similar to his storage space, which only consciousness can enter.

Although it was Zhang Hao's first time entering this space, he felt an unusual sense of familiarity, as if this vast space belonged to him.

As Meng Qianzi previously stated, the space where the Mountain Ghost Splits the Mountain is not actually inside the mountain range; one simply needs to use the cracks formed in the rocks to enter this space.

Zhang Hao guessed that the Mountain Spirit's ability to split the mountain and the Water Demon's ability to open the Golden Soup were actually quite similar.

They all possess the ability to find and open spatial passages.

In other words, the space described by the multiple layers of mountains is actually not the same space as the mountain range itself.

Previously, the physical body could enter any of the spaces, but the Ninefold Mountain space is somewhat special; only human consciousness can enter it.

With a thought, Zhang Hao grasped the information of the entire space.

This is a huge space that is over 100 meters long, wide and high. In the middle, a bronze chain hangs a yellowish-brown stone the size of a basketball.

The moment my consciousness approached the rock, a system notification sounded in my ear.

[Ding! Rare item, Mountain Gallbladder, has been detected.]

Inside the space, that unremarkable stone turned out to be a mountain gall, and a rare item at that.

Now that we've discovered the gentian, things will be much easier.

He thought of taking out the mountain gall from this space as if he were retrieving an item from his own storage space.

However, the mountain gall did not react at all.

"How could this be? It was as if we had control of the entire space."

Zhang Hao didn't understand why the wild gentian couldn't be removed.

He was floating in this enormous space, which had a volume of over a million cubic meters, staring at the basketball-sized stone in the center, suspended in mid-air by bronze chains.

Suddenly his eyes lit up.

If you can't move the mountain's gall, surely you can move the nine-layered mountain?

He could clearly sense that there was no life force in the Ninefold Mountain; it was inanimate and met the conditions for fusion.

He commanded the system, "System, merge with the Ninefold Mountain!"

[Ding, command received. Initiating fusion now.]

Zhang Hao was thrilled when the system notification sounded.

He originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that this path would actually work.

[Ding, congratulations host, 84th fusion completed. Fusion item: Nine-Layer Mountain.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on merging with the Ninefold Mountain and gaining the item attribute: Storage space increased by 100 million cubic meters.]

As soon as the system notification sound ended, Zhang Hao felt a wave of dizziness.

When the feeling subsided, he found that his consciousness had returned to his storage space, and the Ninefold Mountain had disappeared.

Originally, the storage space was over 300,000 cubic meters. With the addition of the increased volume from the integration of the Nine-Layer Mountain, the total volume is over 1.3 million cubic meters, more than tripling.

Some cramped storage spaces have become spacious.

Zhang Hao immediately searched for traces of the Mountain Gallbladder in his storage space, fearing that it might have disappeared due to some accident caused by the fusion with the Ninefold Mountain.

He soon discovered the gentian in the storage space, along with everything else he had previously stored there.

He was relieved to see that everything was still there.

With a thought, Zhang Hao's consciousness returned to his body.

He found himself still pressed against the stone wall, and made no other movements.

Turning his head and looking around, he saw that everyone else was staring at him with puzzled expressions.

Zhang Hao didn't say anything, but turned to the opposite stone wall and used his body to block out a small area in front of him.

Then, on a whim, he tried to take the mountain gall out of his storage space.

This time, without any surprises, he successfully extracted the gentian.

"Uncle, how is it?"

"Brother Zhang Hao, my brother said you've successfully dissected the mountain. Did you find the mountain gall?"

"Boss, any news about the mountain gall?"

……

When everyone saw that the stone wall did not react or show any cracks, they assumed that Zhang Hao had failed to split the mountain.

But Zhang Qilin said that Zhang Hao had already entered Jiuchong Mountain.

Everyone was puzzled, and when they saw Zhang Hao make another move, they immediately asked the questions that had been bothering them.

"Found it, and have already obtained it."

Zhang Hao spoke the truth and did not hide anything.

He then turned around and showed the basketball-sized stone in his hand to everyone.

"What I have in my hand is a wild gentian."

"what!"

"what!"

As soon as Zhang Hao turned around, Yi Sa and Ding Yudie let out two screams in succession.

Then, with a "whoosh," he vomited.

"What happened? What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Hao walked towards Yi Sa, holding the wild gall in one hand.

"Wow……"

As soon as he got close to Yi Sa, he spat out another mouthful of black blood.

Zhang Hao noticed that the closer he got, the more uncomfortable Yi Sa and Ding Yudie seemed to become.

He looked at the gallnut in his hand. It is said that gallnut can counteract water spirit. Could this be the reason?

"Look! There seems to be something in the blood!"

Just then, Wu Tianzhen pointed at the blood on the ground and exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Hao looked down into the blood that Yi Sa had vomited and saw a light blue, egg-sized mass inside.

At the same time, a strong stench of decay wafted over.

"It's water crystal!"

He recognized it at a glance as water essence.

Before the water spirit could react, a seed appeared in her palm and shot out.

With a muffled "bang," the water crystal turned into mist and dissipated into the air.

He then turned and walked towards Ding Yudie, and as he got closer, he also coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Zhang Hao immediately spotted the water spirit inside and shot a seed to kill it.

"call……"

Although Yi Sa and Ding Yudie had vomited a lot of blood, their complexions were much better than before.

The two collapsed to the ground, panting, and it took them a while to regain their strength.

So the two of them changed from sitting to kneeling, and knelt down in front of Zhang Hao.

"Thank you, Zhang Hao!"

"Thank you, boss!"

"I feel much better now, probably because the mountain gall urchin forced out the water essence in my body."

Zhang Hao looked at the two of them without saying a word, but instead took two deep breaths.

Although it was true that Shan Dan had forced the water essence out of their bodies, he could still smell that familiar stench of corpses on Yi Sa and Ding Yudie.

The presence of this stench of decay indicates that the problem has not been completely resolved.

"You don't need to thank me yet. I think your problems haven't been completely resolved yet. Of course, Yi Sa, you don't need to worry too much. Now that the water essence in your body has been forced out, your life should be safe for the time being."
