Chapter 76: Skeleton Person, Spiritual Qi Pool Water!

Inside a pitch-black palace.

Inside that palace, there is no light at all; only endless darkness.

Here, it seems as if any light would be devoured.

However, at this moment.

Suddenly, waves of light ignited throughout the palace.

Immediately afterward, the full appearance of the palace was revealed.

The palace was thoroughly lit up by waves of candlelight, its splendor resembling that of an ancient imperial palace.

Magnificent and splendid.

Twelve massive stone pillars stood, fully supporting the palace and towering above the main hall.

At the very top of the palace, an ancient stone seat sat quietly on the ground.

Upon the stone seat, a skeleton sat quietly.

As the palace was illuminated,

in the skeleton's eyes, blue flames blazed forth.

Like a pair of blue eyes.

The flames seemed sentient, constantly leaping.

The flames in the skeleton's eyes surged increasingly, until a powerful surge burst forth from within its body.

At this moment, the skeleton moved.

A powerful surge erupted instantly from within the skeleton's body.

The palace was then swept up in waves of spiritual qi storms, a ferocious aura surging instantly from the skeleton's body!

He slowly turned his gaze toward the direction of the palace gate.

His eyes seemed to pierce through time and space; the flames in his eye sockets appeared deep.

"Red... talent!"

"Wrong!"

A hoarse voice sounded from the skeleton's mouth.

He suddenly clutched his head with both hands, as if a faint tremor spread from within him.

Immediately afterward, his whole body felt relieved.

Intense radiance burst from his gaze.

"Gold!"

"It is the legendary gold talent!"

"Hahahaha!!!"

The skeleton burst into loud laughter, laughing extremely arrogantly.

"I never expected that I, Lin Yu, could still find a successor of the gold talent! *** All races, my human race shall not perish!"

The skeleton laughed loudly, and the entire palace seemed to tremble slightly with his laughter.

After a moment, the skeleton gradually calmed, he sat slowly upon the stone seat, his gaze fixed steadily on the palace gate.

"After decades, I have finally waited for this!"

As these words fell, the palace returned to calm once more.

The candles that had been lit also dissipated bit by bit.

Within the palace, it became quiet again, dark again.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, inside the pitch-black cave entrance.

Su Yu and Du Nian Guan walked together in the deep cavern; as time passed, their field of vision gradually became more open.

Du Nian Guan walked while speaking excitedly.

"Su Yu, you actually have the red talent—no wonder we didn't know your test aptitude; it must be that the Chief Instructor and others helped you conceal it, and if I were detected with the red talent, it would surely be the same."

"I don't know how Wang Lin and those guys will react when they learn of your talent; that's the red talent—if nothing unexpected happens in the future, Su Yu, you will surely be ennobled as a marquis and even become a king!"

Regarding Du Nian Guan's words, Su Yu merely gave a light smile.

Red talent....

Sorry, if I didn't hide it, I actually have the gold talent.

By then, I don't know if you'll be even more surprised.

However, Su Yu also didn't say it out loud; after all, some things only need to be known to oneself, there's no need for everyone to know.

Otherwise... how would I pretend to be awesome!

Soon, a huge pond appeared before Su Yu and the two of them.

Inside the pond was clear water, gently rippling with the breeze.

But the moment the two saw the pond water, their pupils instantly dilated.

"This is.... spiritual qi water!"

Du Nian Guan exclaimed.

Su Yu beside him asked, "Spiritual qi water? What is that?"

Although Su Yu didn't know what the pond water was composed of, he could also feel its immense spiritual qi fluctuations from within the water.

You know, places with such abundant spiritual qi usually have good things.

Du Nian Guan swallowed, his eyes somewhat fiery as he spoke.

"You know, the Visceral Refining Realm requires stimulating one's internal spiritual qi seeds, thus needing a large amount of spiritual qi; since the spiritual qi between heaven and earth is also limited, in places where spiritual qi is abundant, heavenly treasures and earthly gems can be nurtured."

The pond water we see now is entirely composed of Spiritual Qi; such a grand undertaking could only have been accomplished by this Grand Master senior.

Du Nian Guan couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he fixed his gaze firmly on the pond water before him.

"In other words, if we can enter it, our cultivation..."

Du Nian Guan spoke decisively: "Exactly, could it be that this third trial is just to soak in the pond water? That seems too easy!"

Du Nian Guan felt somewhat doubtful.

However, at that moment, an old and hoarse voice sounded again in both of their minds.

"Third trial: Resilience! To endure in the Spiritual Qi pond water for the time it takes an incense stick to burn is to pass!"

Upon hearing this voice, Su Yu and Du Nian Guan exchanged a glance.

I never expected it, but Du Nian Guan's words turned out to be true.

Du Nian Guan's eyes were filled with the light of excitement.

"Su Yu, this is fantastic! If I can endure in the pond water for the time of an incense stick, I might be able to awaken a Spiritual Qi seed!"

Du Nian Guan had already awakened four Spiritual Qi seeds; if he soaks in the pond water for the time of an incense stick, there is a good chance he could awaken another!

Su Yu's eyes were also blazing hot.

He had been wondering when to take the Blood-Congealing Pill and the Six-turn Blood-Congealing Pill to break through into the Organ Refining Realm.

Now the opportunity has arrived.

However...

Su Yu took a deep look at the pond water.

"I'm afraid this pond water isn't that easy to endure!"

Du Nian Guan directly shook his head and said excitedly.

"Whether it's easy to endure or not, as long as I can soak in there for a while, it's better than my bitter cultivation for several days!"

Having said that, Du Nian Guan rushed over and jumped straight into the pond water.

Thud!

The pond water surged.

The next moment, Du Nian Guan's miserable scream came from the water.

"Ah!!!"

A sound like a pig being slaughtered rang out.

Su Yu smiled.

He had long known that this pond water wasn't that easy to endure; after all, such a good place, how could it be as simple as just enduring for the time of an incense stick?

Moreover, this could be seen from the name of the trial.

Resilience!

Su Yu shook his head, slowly walked to the edge of the pond, and then slid into it.
