After Favorability Is Maxed

192 Don’t Pay with Your Life

The space on this floor was very wide, and it should be similar to the layout of Lanfang Garden in City Lord Duan Lanruo’s mansion. A small garden with a pool as the center was built inside the palace.

The edge of the pond was carved with auspicious cloud Lotus patterns. Other than the layer of dust that had floated up at the beginning, there was also a thick layer of mud at the bottom. It seemed that lotus flowers or other plants had been planted there before.

The entire garden was now only left with broken walls. The yellow soil had buried the white jade, turning the once magnificent scenery into ruins.

Chuichui took the lead. Tang Yuanhua and the others felt at ease when they saw the cute orange cat walking in front with her short legs.

What a joke. With a flood dragon opening the way, in a situation where everyone’s spiritual energy was sealed, it was simply too much of a sense of security.

Hong Luan ran over and held Liu Yuan’s hand. As she walked forward, her small face revealed a serious expression. She said, “This pool is in the pattern of the eight trigrams. There was originally a formation eye in the center of the pool, but it seems to have lost its function because too much time has passed. It can’t be activated by itself, so I have to activate it manually. There are 64 of them, and the bricks on the ground and walls are all mobile. There are different mechanisms hidden under them.”

She pointed at the corpse of the ape-like exotic beast in the distance and said, “That’s one of the mechanisms, it’s exactly the same as the one in the tomb. I’m familiar with the other half, but I don’t dare to touch the rest for the time being.”

Liu Yuan nodded. The entire space was lit up by the eternal flame. The white jade walls and floor were covered in complicated and mysterious golden patterns, shimmering faintly. The pool was shimmering, and exotic flowers and plants were in full bloom. It was simply dazzling.

However, with the beautiful special effects, it was 100 percent dangerous. The corpse over there was the best proof.

“For the time being…” Liu Yuan squeezed Hong Luan’s small hand, which felt soft and warm like a real person, and said, “It seems like there’s still a way to control it.”

The little puppet puffed out her chest and looked a little proud. “As long as you give me some time to study it, I can find the pattern of all the mechanisms.”

But then she deflated again, and said, “But the formation core in the pool is gone, I can’t do anything about it. I don’t know what the mechanism in the center is.”

Liu Yuan could not help but laugh, but he was suddenly stunned. The legacy of the Puppeteer did not die with her, and her last successor was right in front of him.

The knowledge stored in Hong Luan’s mind, which she had studied and mastered in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb for many years, was most of the Puppeteer’s machinery techniques!

Liu Yuan’s gaze was a little strange. So it was his own fault. He had been looking for the inheritance of the Puppeteer along the way, but wasn’t there a living Puppeteer disciple in front of him?

They went around the pond and came to the pavilion and the long corridor. Then, they scattered and checked the surroundings.

“What is this?” Liu Yuan picked up the book on the table that had already turned yellow. His gaze was a little heavy.

Chuichui jumped onto the table and paced back and forth.

Other than the scroll, there was also a hairpin and a comb on the table. They seemed to be the items left behind by the Puppeteer.

Liu Yuan flipped open the book and saw some very complicated sketches. They looked similar to engineering drawings. There were sizes and notes beside them to explain the use of these things.

He felt as if he was dominated by advanced mathematics and physics from his university at first glance. He immediately closed the heavenly book.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Yuanhua saw that Liu Yuan’s movements were a little forceful and became nervous. Even this person who could control a flood dragon and had always been relatively calm and steady, suddenly had a strange expression when he saw the book. Could there be some secret hidden in the book?

“I’m fine, just a little dizzy.” Liu Yuan passed the book to Hong Luan and said indifferently.

Hong Luan took the scroll and said, “This looks like a diary.”

Liu Yuan was stunned, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Diary? He thought it was a blueprint. Was a science and engineering diary so hardcore?

He had just given the scroll to Hong Luan, but now it was not good for him to directly approach her, so he asked, “What’s written inside? Do you have any clues about this Secret Realm?”

Hong Luan flipped through it and said, “Lord Puppeteer seems to be researching with Lord Martial Emperor on how to change the human body’s natural endowments. For example, we can change the five elements in the human body. We can also greatly increase the speed of cultivation and expand the meridians.”

Tang Yuanhua and the others took a deep breath as soon as she finished her sentence.

Change one’s aptitude!

This Martial Emperor was really indulging in wild fantasies. He dared to think of all kinds of outlandish things. There were only three or four kinds of spiritual pills, Immortal herbs, and divine objects in the world that could change one’s aptitude. All of them were rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could not be seen even in thousands of years. He had only seen them a few times in the entire Shangyang.

Not to mention, wasn’t changing the attributes of the five elements a natural spirit root? It was closely related to the complete meridians, Dantian, and the structure of the human body. It was built as a whole, so it was natural to be given the deviation of the five elements. No one had ever been able to change their own attributes so much.

Liu Yuan felt incredulous when he heard this.

Although the players had indeed changed the five elements once, which was from the balance of the five elements at the beginning, and then chose it when they cultivated the cultivation method, a player character only had one time to do this, and there was no chance to change it later.

This couple was indeed researching some taboo stuff.

And it was 100 percent related to the human body itself, but there was no experimental subject, so they found the creatures in this Secret Realm, which finally caused them to all mutate into f*cking monsters.

At first, these things must have been locked up. However, later, the Martial Emperor He Junhao and his wife both died. Until now, no one knew the reason, so all these messy things were out of control.

A thousand years later, all that was left was this mess.

Liu Yuan could not help but curse in his heart.

The two of them were having a good time, and all the trouble was thrown at the people who entered the Secret Realm in the future. Even if it was really a descendant of a Martial Emperor who came in by herself, these strange beasts would not recognize her. She would start a big escape as soon as she arrived, and she would not be able to hold on.

“What else? Where is the real Martial Emperor’s inheritance?”

The diary did not mention anything about the Martial Emperor’s inheritance, but it did say that the results of their lifetime’s research were placed in the scripture library of this palace.

“Research results?” Liu Yuan thought out loud.

“Yes,” Hong Ling said while looking at the book. “It’s a method to reverse the meridians and change the human body’s aptitude.”

“Is there a way to get out?” Liu Yuan asked.

Hong Luan shook her head. “It doesn’t say. However, the blueprint of this palace is here. It can be used as a map.”

Liu Yuan took a look and turned to ask, “What do the few of you think? In my opinion, the true Martial Emperor’s inheritance might be referring to this method. If we want to go to the scripture library, we’ll have to pass by those strange beast groups, which is extremely dangerous.”

Tang Yuanhua and the others looked at each other. He said, “We accepted the mission from the Green Centipede, and we’re here to risk our lives, so we naturally have to go.”
