CHAPTER 237: CHAPTER 237: I, KUAFU, WILL TAKE A SIP

As Qin Zi’s cultivation level increased, the talents he humiliated became more formidable, contributing more ’Father Credits’.

"Rumble!"

"Pfft!"

"Ah—"

After a long period, several geniuses let out screams, flying out in various poses, showcasing their youthful spirit in countless ways.

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan’s ’Father Credits’ balance turned to 315 points, an unprecedented harvest.

After this, no more geniuses came forth to be defeated.

After all, the range affected by the previous water column phenomenon was limited, and not everyone could see it. Even those who saw it didn’t necessarily come.

So, the market was already saturated.

At this moment, Qin Xiaozhu was pleasantly surprised to find that the light membrane blocking outside the abyss quickly weakened.

Like a bubble, it burst at a single poke.

"Break!"

Qin Zi, full of vigor, wielded the Fire Dragon Long Spear and fiercely stabbed at the light membrane.

"Pssh!"

With a light sound, the spear pierced the light membrane, and Qin Zi, like a serpent, charged straight in, rushing into the abyss.

Then, a series of exclamations came from beneath the abyss.

"Pssh!"

"Oh! What kind of array is this? I’ve been trapped! Oh!"

"Bang bang bang!"

There seemed to be explosion sounds; the abyss continuously sent out tremors, a scene of utter chaos and confusion.

Qin Chuan had set up many arrays around the cave dwelling. Though there were flaws left intentionally, breaking through them wasn’t easy, especially for someone at Qin Zi’s cultivation level, it was like dancing on a steel wire.

Taking a wrong step could mean crushing into pieces!

But eventually, under the guidance of the blonde woman, Qin Zi reached the depths of the cave without any danger.

"This... What is this?!"

Seeing the scene inside the cave, Qin Zi was struck with awe, his eyes widened, and his breath nearly stopped.

In the center of the cave stood a gigantic pool, its water sparkling like starlight, dazzling with a flow of colors and exuding astounding spiritual energy.

At the center of the pool, there was a small flower bed, densely packed with flowers and grasses.

Perhaps there were hundreds of them.

Each one emitted a fragrant aroma, with the fragrance spiraling upward, forming beautiful visions in the air—fluttering butterflies, circling colorful birds, bees collecting nectar—a sight truly mesmerizing.

"These grasses are no ordinary items! And this pool, at first glance, it seems extraordinary, likely usable for body refinement!"

Qin Zi wiped his drool and then prepared to pick the Immortal Herbs.

At this moment, he saw a headless statue standing in front of the pool—more precisely, the statue’s head had weathered away, fallen, and shattered into fragmented pieces.

The statue held a golden tome in its hands, the tome exuding a magnificent aura, immensely grand and imposing.

"Buzz!"

As if it sensed Qin Zi’s gaze, the tome suddenly radiated light, and lines of text began to float up.

"Ten Directions Houtu Scripture!"

Qin Zi read aloud, and at the same time, a voice exclaimed within his body.

"Ten Directions Houtu Scripture? It’s actually the Ten Directions Houtu Scripture!"

The blonde woman flew out from within Qin Zi, her eyes fixed intently on the golden tome, her breathing rapid.

"Master, have you heard of it?"

Qin Zi asked.

"Of course, the Ten Directions Houtu Scripture was created by Emperor Houtu, one of the leaders of the Celestial Eternal Race. It commands the powers of the boundless earth, with vigorous force, endlessly emerging, known as the strongest earth attribute Emperor Scripture!"

The blonde woman spoke excitedly.

"Is Emperor Houtu still alive?"

Qin Zi asked worriedly.

If the other party was still alive, being the creator of the Emperor Scripture, he might have some sense of it, which was something that had only occurred to him recently.

"Emperor Houtu has already fallen."

The blonde woman sighed and said:

"However, he was indeed formidable. Back then, to besiege and kill him, we—the Nine Firmament Human Race—paid a heavy price. Even major figures like the Martial Emperor Dragon Capture, Sun-Devouring Emperor, and my ancestor Night Emperor were heavily injured and took a millennium to recover."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

Dead meant no worries.

So, he had nothing to worry about.

As for what would happen if the Nine Firmament Human Race found out... he wasn’t worried. After all, so many lice on a body don’t itch, he already had the Celestial Eternal Race’s Emperor’s Artifact, and he even secretly cultivated the Witch Venerable’s Body Refining Scripture from the Witch God Hall.

If exposed, he’d have been doomed long ago.

However, it’s not so easy to expose.

Just like the Witch Venerable’s Body Refining Scripture, he’s used it so many times, yet no one has recognized it—never!

In this world, there are countless cultivation techniques and divine techniques, many of which are similar, and with poor information flow, there’s almost no need to worry about exposure.

Unless you’re really unlucky.

Or... have a good father.

"Swoosh!"

Qin Zi grasped with his right hand, conjuring an energy hand to grab the golden book, but the moment he touched it, the golden book exploded, transforming into a mass of golden text that flew toward Qin Zi.

This kind of scene Qin Zi had seen before, so he wasn’t shocked, allowing the text to enter his mind.

Soon, he received all the content of the Ten Directions Houtu Scripture and, after a brief glance, indeed found it profound and extensive.

"I’ve really hit the jackpot this time!"

Qin Zi took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and then approached the Spirit Pool.

He first used his spiritual power to control those immortal herbs, making them move on their own and pull themselves out from the small garden.

After carefully storing these immortal herbs, he looked at the not-too-big not-too-small Spirit Pool.

He propped his chin with his right hand, pondered for a moment, then looked at the blonde woman beside him and asked:

"Master, how should I use this Spirit Pool?"

The blonde woman’s face turned serious. She scrutinized the Spirit Pool carefully and said with some uncertainty:

"If it’s a normal Spirit Pool, you could just soak in it for body refinement, but this Spirit Pool... I sense a peculiar fragrance and it’s full of vitality, it should be... drinkable."

Qin Zi nodded.

"I’ll lick it first to try it."

So he leaned down beside the Spirit Pool and then stretched out his tongue, slowly approaching the surface of the pool.

"Mmm..."

As the tip of his tongue touched the water’s surface, instantly, a sweet and fragrant taste overwhelmed his taste buds, and his mind became clear.

Feeling refreshed!

"Haha, it’s indeed a good thing, luckily I tasted it, otherwise bathing would have been a waste!"

Qin Zi exclaimed in surprise.

"Then hurry up and store it."

The blonde woman took out a spatial porcelain bottle.

Qin Zi looked at the radiant pool, licked his lips, then looked pleasingly at the blonde woman, with anticipation, "Master, let me drink a mouthful first... I only drink a sip like Kuafu."

The blonde woman looked at her disciple with a strange gaze—it’s all yours, what’s the hurry?

But since her disciple already asked, she couldn’t refuse, so she awkwardly said, "Then... drink up."

Qin Zi happily leaned down, like a puppy drinking water, making "slurp slurp" sounds.

"Splash!"

Suddenly, a tremendous suction burst forth from within Qin Zi, and large amounts of pool water were swallowed like water columns into his mouth.

"Hmm?!"

Qin Zi’s eyes widened, initially thinking it was the Emperor’s Artifact Nine Phoenix Furnace, but the next moment, he was horrified to realize that it was the golden text that had entered his mind, the so-called Ten Directions Houtu Scripture.

"Buzz buzz!"

The text rapidly swirled like moths, continuously drawing in the pool water, converting it into abundant spiritual energy, and it emitted increasingly bright light, seemingly transforming into a sun.

"This is bad!"

Qin Zi realized something was wrong, wanted to resist, wanted to stop absorbing water, but found his body disobedient.

"Xiao Zi!"

The blonde woman also quickly discovered the abnormality, turned into a streak of golden light, entered Qin Zi’s body, intending to shatter the golden text.

"Boom——"

However, those golden texts trembled, and a mighty pressure spread out, crushing the blonde woman’s Primordial Spirit.

"Poof!"

The blonde woman’s Primordial Spirit directly shattered into pieces, transformed into many golden lights and flew out of Qin Zi’s body, then reformed into a human shape, but much more illusory. She gritted her teeth and shouted:

"Who’s pretending to be a ghost!"

Then, the golden text continued to swirl, the light growing more brilliant, almost rendering Qin Zi’s body transparent.

Whoosh whoosh!

In the center of the golden text, a vague silhouette gradually appeared, its form indistinguishable, only an overwhelming majesty could be felt!

"Hahaha! Finally, a Divine Body has obtained the Ten Directions Houtu Scripture and awakened the spirituality I left in the Ten Directions Houtu Scripture. With the Divine Body guiding the scattered true spirit, I, the Emperor Houtu, am about to return!"

The silhouette laughed wildly.

Emperor Houtu!!

Immediately, Qin Zi and the blonde woman turned pale, their hearts trembling violently, only feeling an endless sense of oppression envelop them.

Such a grand figure, even an ordinary Martial Emperor would be intimidated upon encountering, and to them, it was like a myth!
