Chen Tong's expression changed a few times … then he suddenly stood up … pointed at Zhang Yan … and angrily said, "Are you making fun of me?"
Zhang Yan sat still, a faint smile on his face as he said, "Of course not. What Brother Chen wants is nothing more than to decipher this' True Scroll of the Hornless Dragon '. Although I can't say that I'm proficient in Erosion Runes, I do know a thing or two. If Brother Chen is willing to retreat, I am willing to help you. In this way, we can both get what we need. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"
"You? Decipher this precious scroll for me? " Chen Tong was startled at first, then he looked at Zhang Yan with some disbelief. His lips moved, but he didn't say anything. He slowly sat down, thought for a moment, and said, "That's fine. If you really can do it, then I'll give you this opportunity. However … "
He stared at Zhang Yan and said in a low voice, "What if you can't do it?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Then not only will I retreat, but I will also give you a superior technique."
"Good!"
As if he was afraid that Zhang Yan would go back on his word, Chen Tong forcefully slammed the stone table in the pavilion and pushed the 'True Scroll of the Hornless Dragon' towards Zhang Yan. He seemed to be quite relaxed as he spread his hands and said, "It's settled then."
Zhang Yan took the scroll and looked at Pu Yuzi again. He saw that Pu Yuzi was looking at him with a straight face, as if he was letting them do whatever they wanted. Zhang Yan smiled lightly, withdrew his gaze, and opened the scroll.
As soon as the first page was flipped open, a ray of light flashed from it, and an Erosion Rune technique with about fifty characters appeared in front of him.
Zhang Yan's attainment in Erosion Runes was quite profound. With a glance, he could tell that this was a technique used to decipher restrictions, but at the same time, it was also a cultivation technique. It was quite ingenious. Zhang Yan immediately gathered his thoughts and quietly grasped the remnant of the jade in his sleeve, carefully reading it.
In this scroll, every time one finished reading a page, they needed to use the spell that they deciphered to break the restriction. Only then would they be able to flip to the next page.
But after reading more than thirty pages, Zhang Yan realized that there were still thirty pages left in the first volume. Adding the unread second and third volume, who knew how much more was left.
He looked at the light emitted from the scroll. It was a little less than before. Clearly, when the light was completely extinguished, the scroll would naturally close up.
Originally, he'd thought that it was because the book was obscure and difficult to understand, so it was difficult to decipher. Now it seemed like it wasn't that Chen Tong couldn't find an expert in this field, but it was indeed difficult to decipher such content in such a short period of time.
Originally, Zhang Yan didn't want to show off too much, so he slowed down the speed of his deciphering. But now, it seemed that he couldn't care less.
Chen Tong couldn't help but be a little surprised. There was one thing that he hadn't said. If he made even a single mistake while deciphering the restriction, then all of his previous efforts would go to waste, and he would never be able to open it again. This Zhang Yan's speed wasn't slow either. Not only that, but he had actually flipped through more than thirty pages without making a mistake. This was a genuine skill, and not just a boast.
But seeing him pause for a moment, Chen Tong couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Do you think the restriction on this scroll is so easy to decipher? He's only learned a few days of Corrosive Inscriptions and he's trying to show off in front of this young master. He really doesn't know the immensity of the heavens and the earth. I won't rush him, I'll just wait for him to admit defeat.
However, after only a short while, he revealed an astonished expression. Originally, Zhang Yan was still very careful, flipping through them methodically. He did not discover anything special, but for some unknown reason, when he focused his attention and looked at them, the seals were actually broken one after another. It seemed that he did not need to think at all, they were broken as he looked at them. The speed was simply unimaginable. Chen Tong actually stood up unconsciously.
Even Pu Yuzi, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but open his eyes to take a second look.
Zhang Yan flipped through sixty-four pages in a row before he finally broke through all the restrictions on the first scroll. When he looked at the light, he saw that half of it had already faded. He couldn't help but frown, as if he still wasn't satisfied. He didn't rest and continued to flip through the second scroll.
But at this time, Chen Tong's face was full of disbelief. He looked at Zhang Yan like he was looking at a monster. The two beautiful maids behind him were knowledgeable, and they had seen many geniuses in Corrosive Inscriptions. But when compared to Zhang Yan, they still felt inferior, and they couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Luo Zhenzhen blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at him curiously. She seemed to find it quite interesting.
When Zhang Yan flipped to the second scroll, he held the book in his hands and let out a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, "If this second scroll still had sixty-four pages, or even more, the situation today would probably be shocking. Fortunately, fortunately …"
There were only thirty-two pages in the second volume. Although there were fewer inscriptions, the content was more profound. However, this was not a problem for him. Thus, when he flipped through the pages, he did not seem to be in a hurry at all. Coupled with his extraordinary appearance, his movements revealed a natural and unrestrained demeanor.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he had broken through the restrictions on the second scroll.
But he didn't notice that at this moment, Chen Tong's face was full of uncertainty. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Just when Zhang Yan was about to finish the second half of the book in one go, Chen Tong shouted, "That's enough!"
He suddenly jumped up, snatched the scroll, and rushed out. Although there were clouds around the pagoda, there was no obstruction when he went out.
Everything happened so suddenly that the two beautiful maids behind him didn't know what happened, but they didn't dare to be rude. After saying goodbye in a hurry … they hurriedly followed him out …
Zhang Yan's face was calm, as if he wasn't surprised by this.
As he continued to read the < True Scroll of the Hornless Dragon >, he found that this should be a good cultivation method. The first and second scroll described how to cultivate from Light Qi to Profound Light Qi. He had not had time to flip through the second scroll, so it should be about how to condense one's core.
He had the Taiyi Golden Scripture in his hands, so he naturally didn't care about this method.
But Chen Tong didn't know his background, so of course he didn't want his method to be seen by him. Zhang Yan had already expected this. Otherwise, how could Chen Tong snatch something from him with just Ming Qi?
He thought to himself, "It's a pity about that little technique. I originally wanted to take a look at it."
Seeing that Chen Tong had left, Pu Yuzi chuckled and said, "Little Brother Chen, since you've left, it means that you've willingly given up on this opportunity. All three of my treasures are here, you can take one."
Zhang Yan took a deep breath and stood up. Without thinking too much, he took the Mountain and River Spirit Cloud Demonic Eye and put it in his sleeve without looking at it. Then, he cupped his hands at Pu Yuzi and said, "Thank you, senior, for your generous gift."
Pu Yuzi waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me. I didn't give it to you for nothing. Now that you've asked for this magic treasure, you have to promise me something."
Zhang Yan said seriously, "Of course."
This was the rule of the Heaven Mending House. Since you accepted my item, you have to do things for me. Even if you return the item now, you still have to complete this task. If you want to go back on your word, the Heaven Mending House, as one of the ten great profound sects, will naturally send people to make trouble for you.
Pu Yuzi twirled his beard and said, "You took this Mountain and River Spirit Cloud Demonic Eye, so you must have the ambition to travel the four seas."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Senior is right. Junior is already at the Mysterious Light Realm and is traveling the world to search for the things needed to forge a golden core."
Pu Yuzi made an "oh" sound and said, "That's good. I'll let you take care of that difficult matter of mine. I've traveled around the East Flower Continent for a hundred years and have seen all kinds of sceneries. Right now, I want to go to the East Lai Continent, but Daoren still hasn't accepted a disciple. That's why I need you to help me find a disciple with a good foundation to inherit my legacy from Daoren."
Zhang Yan was startled and said, "Junior isn't trying to shirk responsibility. It's just that junior really doesn't know what kind of disciple the Heaven Mending House is looking for."
Pu Yuzi laughed and said, "When did you hear that my Heaven Mending House is making things difficult for someone? I'll give you an item, so naturally, you won't need to waste any effort. "
With a shake of his wrist, a green jade scroll landed in front of Zhang Yan.
Pu Yuzi pointed at it and said, "I don't need you to do anything. When you travel the world, you only need to keep this jade scroll on you. If you meet a suitable person within a hundred steps, this jade scroll will produce a strange phenomenon and reveal a chant. You only need to give this chant to the suitable person and find a way for them to learn this technique."
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Since it will produce a strange phenomenon, how many times can this jade scroll be used?"
Pu Yuzi's eyes narrowed slightly. "Daoren, I'm very lazy. I only want to take in a disciple and pass on my teachings.
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior, if this person is already a disciple of another sect or doesn't want to cultivate, then what?"
Pu Yuzi waved his sleeves and laughed. "That's your problem. I don't care how you do it. Whether it's to steal or to force, it's up to you. In short, you have to give this technique to my obedient disciple."
Zhang Yan knew that this matter couldn't be avoided. When the time came, if he really encountered such a situation, he would just have to think of a way to resolve it. He smiled and didn't say anything else. He waved his sleeves and put away the jade scroll. Then, he stood up and said, "Junior still has important matters to attend to, so I won't disturb Senior's cultivation."
Pu Yuzi closed his eyes and said, "Then Daoren will wait for Dao Friend to find a good disciple for me."
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and bid farewell. When he reached the exit of the pagoda, he turned around and said with a smile, "Dao Friend Luo, how about we talk as we walk? "Luo Zhenzhen is really silly today. Just now, when Zhang Yan and Pu Yuzi were talking, she was a bit bored, so she rested her chin on her hand and seemed to be lost in thought. Now that she heard Zhang Yan call her, she stood up and blushed. She bowed to Pu Yuzi and said," Senior, Zhenzhen also has to take her leave. "
Pu Yuzi's eyes widened slightly and he laughed. "Go, go."
The two of them exited the gazebo. Just as they took a step out, Zhang Yan turned around and saw that the place where they had been standing was now empty. There was not a single thing left. It was clear that Pu Yuzi's divine ability was exceptional. In the blink of an eye, he had teleported somewhere unknown.
However, right at this moment, Zhang Yan suddenly looked up as if he had sensed something.
High up in the sky, the clouds kept tumbling. In the end, a flying car that had been hidden for an unknown period of time was revealed. Chen Tong, who had left not long ago, was standing in the car. He pointed downwards and said, "Uncle Qi, it's them."
