Chapter 524: Dark Gold
“Xiao Shun!”
A roar echoed throughout the house.
“Sigh… sigh…”
Sitting back on the sofa half naked, Xiao Shun let out sighs, one higher than the other.
Zhu Que glanced up slightly: “Does she not like you burning the kiln?”
This silly girl still didn’t know that the golden vase was actually refined from an erotic book.
“That’s probably it. After all, that stuff isn’t good for physical and mental health.”
Xiao Shun held his forehead, looking speechless.
Zhu Que didn’t quite understand, and couldn’t figure out what connection there was between burning a kiln and physical and mental health. Could it be the high temperature work environment?
Since she couldn’t figure it out, she didn’t keep thinking about it, and was too lazy to ask. After all, it had nothing to do with her.
Xiao Shun clearly wasn’t in the mood to chat right now.
Because that hard-won banned book had just been confiscated by Yao Cen.
Of course, as punishment, his bed had been moved to the guest room tonight.
The atmosphere in the living room became quiet like this.
Just as Xiao Shun was lamenting his tumultuous fate, Zhu Que broke the silence and spoke first: “What do you plan to do with the golden Buddha?”
Hearing about the golden Buddha, Xiao Shun was startled, then smiled wryly: “I don’t have the ability to deal with it directly. I have to use high temperatures to melt down the gold spirit stone, and then use it to forge and carve a knife.”
Zhu Que nodded, didn’t continue asking, and went back to her room.
“Sigh, this girl seems to be in a hurry. I might as well work overtime tonight and try to get the carving knife done by tomorrow morning!”
Muttering to himself, he went to Zhu Que’s door and knocked.
Opening the door, Zhu Que stood motionless looking at Xiao Shun.
Xiao Shun didn’t waste words, just said straightforwardly:
“Come with me!”
Hearing this, Zhu Que was delighted, but didn’t show it on her face. She nodded and quickly followed.
The two walked in silence all the way to the storage room.
Xiao Shun took out a furnace from the corner, then had Zhu Que pass over the golden Buddha, before putting it into the furnace.
Zhu Que watched Xiao Shun’s actions intently, seeming extremely interested.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun smiled smugly and secretly thought: This quiet girl actually still likes to learn.
But what he was about to do next wasn’t something just anyone could learn.
After all, it was a profound and mysterious matter. Even if he was willing to teach, not everyone could understand.
Cultivation only depended on natural aptitude.
Therefore, Xiao Shun didn’t avoid suspicion and put his hand on the furnace in front of Zhu Que, slowly channeling his inner energy.
In a flash, a scorching hot air wave blasted forth.
Zhu Que only felt like she was repeatedly placed in a sea of flames. That hot air pressed against her skin inch by inch, and soon she was drenched in sweat.
“Endure for a bit, it’ll be over soon.” Xiao Shun said with a smile.
At this moment, his performance could only be described as breezy. That scorching air seemed to pose no threat to his body at all. His clothes remained completely dry.
In contrast, Zhu Que was already soaked with sweat.
Just as Xiao Shun had said, the spreading heat dissipated in just a moment.
At the same time, a small flame was slowly burning at the base of the furnace.
The wavering firelight rose up with a faint blue glow.
Zhu Que’s gaze fixed on that flame, deeply attracted by the bewitching blue light it emitted.
In her impression, fire had always been yellow. But she had never seen a blue flaming fire like this before.
The furnace fire, with its blue flames, contained terrifying high temperatures, otherwise how could it fully elicit the potency of herbs?
Although it was just a small cluster, it was enough to melt the extremely sturdy gold spirit stone!
“Don’t underestimate such a small flame. If not controlled properly, it can burn everything to nothingness!”
Xiao Shun said lightly, slowly moving his hands away from the furnace. After all, when the furnace temperature rose later, his hands would get burnt!
“Why can’t I feel the heat of the fire?” Zhu Que asked curiously.
Xiao Shun answered: “Because this kind of fire only works on certain specific aspects.”
“Specific aspects?”
“Mm.” Xiao Shun nodded: “I don’t know how to explain it to you. Just know that this kind of fire is very powerful.”
A fire that could temper the mortal body, how could it not be powerful?
Of course, these matters, Xiao Shun wouldn’t tell Zhu Que for now.
It wasn’t that he deliberately concealed it, but rather it would be useless to tell her now. Zhu Que hadn’t reached that level yet.
But then again, even Xiao Shun himself was still far from being able to control the furnace fire to temper his own body!NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
After another half hour, Xiao Shun felt the time should be about right. He extinguished the furnace fire with his inner energy, then opened the furnace cover.
The moment it opened, a golden ray of light shot out, illuminating the surroundings brightly as if they were in a fantasy.
Looking closely, the exquisitely crafted golden Buddha had now melted into a stream of golden liquid slowly flowing inside. The earlier golden light came from this!
“Where’s the thing I asked you to prepare earlier?”
Xiao Shun reached back without turning his head.
Collecting herself, Zhu Que quickly handed a mold to him.
Taking the mold, Xiao Shun placed it at the bottom of the furnace, then slowly pressed a switch on the furnace wall.
Immediately, a strand of golden liquid flowed out from under the furnace, all falling into the mold.
“Unexpectedly there’s still extra gold spirit liquid.”
Seeing the filled mold, and the remaining liquid still in the furnace, Xiao Shun spoke in surprise.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
Soon Xiao Shun rummaged through the pile of items next to him and took out another mold. Just like before, he started collecting the gold spirit liquid again.
The liquid from melting the golden Buddha was finally used up. Looking at the empty furnace, Xiao Shun let out a breath: “Phew, success!”
Saying so, he placed the two molds full of gold spirit liquid at his feet, preparing to put the furnace away.
But just then, he suddenly rushed to the furnace as if struck by lightning, and directly stuck his head in, desperately clawing at something inside.
Soon, a voice full of astonishment came from within the furnace.
“What is this thing?”
Hearing this, Zhu Que moved and flashed over to see Xiao Shun holding a pitch black iron block in his hand!
Just as she was wondering what the black thing was, Xiao Shun said joyfully: “Damn, this is Dark Gold!”
Dark Gold?
What was Dark Gold?
Seeing the elated Xiao Shun, Zhu Que was completely puzzled. She had heard of platinum and gold, but never of this Dark Gold.
