The heat flow was so turbulent that it was much more violent than any that Zhang Yu had seen before.
He walked all the way to the top of the mound and stood there. The heat flow was even stronger as if he was standing on top of a steamer.
At this moment, he could even feel that his Spirit Essence was slowly growing.
He looked around. Judging from the surrounding bricks and stones, this should be an altar that belonged to the Italans.
However, he speculated that after the Italans occupied this place, they would also use monsters to worship their gods. The original altars that belonged to the natives were probably deeper underground now. After all, it was more convenient to directly push them to the landfill than to remove the original things, and it had more religious significance.
In this way, the bones of the monsters that were sacrificed by both sides were likely to be stacked together.
He was not in a hurry to absorb. Instead, he came down from the mound and prepared to walk around the entire ruins.
Although ordinary beasts would not come to this place, it was hard to guarantee that some strange things would not be born.
The area covered by the old temples was very large. After all, according to records, at its peak, it could accommodate tens of thousands of people living here for worship. It might not even be possible to walk around for a few days. But now, looking at the ruins that were exposed on the ground, the range was relatively small.
At the same time, he also wanted to see if there was any other place besides the altar mound that hid the origin energy.
However, it was a pity that he didn't find anything else after walking down this time.
He returned to the big mound and once again felt the heat flow from below. He thought that what was buried below might not only be the bones of spiritual creatures, but also the statues that were smashed and pushed down. It was even more likely that there were ancient natives' sacrificial items.
He guessed that all the ancient natives had been gathered here by the Italans. This could explain why there was no origin energy in other places.
But to really confirm this inference, he would have to dig up the big mound.
But this was not a simple matter. At least, it was not something that he could do alone.
Fortunately, he did not need to do this kind of thing. Even if he was far away, it would just take him a little more time to absorb it slowly.
There were many mountains and rivers nearby, so there was plenty of water. He also had enough pills with him. It would not be a problem to stay here for ten days or half a month.
Moreover, he did not think that it would take that long.
He took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it before sitting down.
At the same time, on a gentle slope leading to the plains of Mount An, not far from the place where Zang Shu was defeated, a female figure dressed in a Daoist robe of the Profound Palace and covered in a white veil silently appeared here.
After observing silently for a while, her figure flashed and appeared near a slightly raised mound.
She bent down and reached her hand into the mound. Then, with a grab, half of the corpse was pulled out from the ground. She coldly glanced at the corpse that had yet to decompose. A thin mist emerged from her body, and in an instant, the corpse quickly melted.
At this moment, she seemed to have discovered something. She bent down and picked up a long sword from the ground.
After thinking for a while, she threw it back. Then, she closed her eyes as if she was sensing something. After a while, she looked at the distant mountain. Then, the mist on her body faintly rose. She suddenly turned into a shadow and chased after it at an extremely fast speed.
Zhang Yu meditated for an entire night before waking up from his meditation. He looked at the ruined ruins around him as well as the dark clouds covering the top of the valley. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the scene of his previous life lying in the nourishment cabin.
That world was deathly still, inflexible, rigid, and without a future. He originally thought that he would be the same, until he came into contact with Origin Energy...
He let out a sigh of relief, collected his thoughts, and adjusted his state of mind. Then, he examined his body. He found that during this meditation, his Spirit Energy was enough to read two seals. However, because he still had some Spirit Energy left, the amount that he had absorbed was about one and a half seals.
The surging heat was still maintained and did not show any signs of decreasing.
Based on his past experience, he estimated that the Origin Energy stored under the mound could provide him with enough Spirit Essence to read about five to six seals.
If that was the case, then it would be a great harvest.
In Xuanfu, he had asked Fan Lan and learned that people who gathered Spirit Energy faster could gather the Spirit Energy needed to read two seals in a month. Those who were slightly slower would be able to read one seal in one to two months, and those who were even slower would be able to read one seal in three to six months.
However, the gap between people was huge. It did not exclude the possibility that there were people who gathered Spirit Energy faster or slower, but that was generally the case.
Therefore, if he compared it with a slightly higher standard, his harvest this time was probably a few months or even a year ahead of those people.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt some movement in the lake in his heart. It was a slightly weak aura. Before coming here, he seemed to have seen it on the mountain slope.
He turned around and found that in a crack in the broken rock, there was a small head sticking out. At this moment, it was looking at him.
This was … a leopard cat?
He was very familiar with the creatures around Mount An and immediately recognized that this was a leopard cat of Mount An. It was a very rare animal. Because it was a spiritual creature by nature, it would sometimes be worshipped by the natives as a god.
This kind of creature was very rare. He didn't expect to see one here, and it seemed to be in its infancy.
He thought for a moment that this little leopard cat should have been separated from its parents or simply met with some accident.
This was because this kind of creature had almost no fighting strength in its infancy. It needed enough food from its parents, and then through an entire day and night of sleep, it could grow quickly.
If it came out at this time, it meant that it had already lost a fixed source of food.
Although this little thing had a body of light golden fur that was suffused with a glossy sheen, it looked a bit thin and weak. This confirmed his judgment even more.
He thought for a moment. When this little thing appeared that day, he just happened to be feeding the horse. It should be hungry.
After thinking for a while, he took out a few secret pills and crushed them. Then, he took off a glove and sprinkled the crushed pills on it. Then, he stood up and walked to the side. Then, he placed the glove on a stone platform with a relatively flat surface.
These pills were originally used to feed the horse. He only had these things on hand. As for whether this little thing could eat them or not, he believed that it should be able to judge by itself.
He returned to his original place and sat down cross-legged.
When that little leopard cat saw him stand up, it shrank back and hid in the crack in the rock to watch him. Seeing him sit back down, it took a long time before it stuck its head out again.
It looked at the pill dregs and suddenly scuttled out from the crack in the rock. It jumped onto the platform. First it used its nose to sniff, then it began to lick it. It also made subtle and hurried licking sounds.
After a while, after it finished eating, it looked at Zhang Yu. Its tail was slightly raised and gently swayed. It lowered its head, picked up the glove, and jumped down lightly from a high place. In a few steps, it came in front of him. It looked up and put the glove on the ground. It looked at him again and quickly ran away.
Zhang Yu sat here for two days and two nights. Most of the Origin Energy that could be absorbed by his body had been absorbed into his body. However, he could still feel that there was a stream of heat that still stubbornly existed, and it was just in front of him that he could touch.
He opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to push away the dust in front of him. He picked up an exquisite little golden ring from the ground. There was a long thin chain at the bottom. At the end and front, there was a snake's tail and a snake's head. The golden ring was engraved with beautiful and fine lines.
Although he was in direct contact with this thing at this moment, the Origin Energy still stubbornly existed on it and was not absorbed by him.
He did not know the reason for this. After thinking for a while, he put it in his pocket. He was prepared to slowly find out the reason when he returned.
At this moment, he looked inside his body. The Spirit Essence accumulated from this meditation was enough for him to read six seals.
Since this was the case, he no longer hesitated. He decided to read the three newly obtained seals according to the method passed down by Xuanfu.
These three seals were located above the eye seal, "Mechanism Identification", above the nose seal, "Fate Perception", and above the ear seal, "Movement and Stillness".
The "Mechanism Identification" seal could deepen a person's ability to observe things. After using this seal, it could help a person observe things that they would easily overlook.
The "Fate Perception" seal could allow a person to smell more scents and make more judgments. However, if one did not want to, they could also block all the scents that one did not want to smell.
The "Movement and Stillness" seal was the same. After using it, it would greatly increase a person's hearing. One could even hear many sounds that ordinary people could not hear.
These three seals were all used to strengthen one's senses. However, the premise was that one had a strong physique as support. Even if everyone learned the same seal, due to the different foundation of the body, the ability that could be displayed would naturally be different.
He made some slight adjustments and started to read the three seals according to the method passed down by Xuanfu.
The abundance of Spirit Essence made him very relaxed when doing this.
In just a short while, he completed all the steps in order.
Only, he was not able to see anything after reading the three seals last time. But this time, just as he finished the last step according to the method, his mind shook slightly. A mysterious and unfathomable feeling seemed to be aroused from within his body. Then, a seal that he had never seen before appeared out of thin air!
