Chapter 282
Why did the gentian become ineffective?
Zhang Hao keenly grasped the information in Meng Qianzi's words. Once he understood why the mountain gall had failed, he might be able to find a way to deal with the god.
"The knot in the rope says that the reason why the gentian is ineffective is because it lacks water essence. Only when the gentian and water essence are combined can it work."
"Since that's the case, and you mountain spirits also know the location of the water spirit, why haven't you merged them after all these years?"
Zhang Hao knew that things were definitely not as simple as Meng Qianzi said, and there must be other factors involved.
"There is a lack of something to balance it out. Mountain gall and water essence cannot be directly fused together, otherwise it will completely fail. However, our ancestor never found such a thing before he died, and we don't know exactly what it is."
"I understand. Is there any more information about the gentian written on it?"
Meng Qianzi shook her head: "I have deciphered all the contents of the knot; there is no other additional information."
"In that case, let's continue dissecting the mountain. At the very least, we need to find the mountain's core first."
Before obtaining the information from the knot, Zhang Hao's only information was that the mountain gall could restrain the water spirit, and only the mountain gall could completely kill the water spirit.
It now appears that this information was also inaccurate.
If what is recorded on the knot is true, then it means that the mountain spirit and the water spirit were originally one, and only by merging can they restrain the god and stop its spread.
However, blending gentian and water essence is not so simple; a harmonizing agent is required.
However, not a single word was left about what the harmonizing agent was or how to use it.
If we want to get more information, the only way right now is to continue dissecting the mountain; there may be more information in the next few layers of mountains.
"what?"
"Continue dissecting the mountain?"
"Hmm, I have a feeling that the mountain gall is located in the next few mountains."
Meng Qianzi couldn't believe her ears.
She, a mountain spirit king, was only able to split open three layers of mountains, while Zhang Hao not only split open four layers, but now he is going to continue splitting open mountains.
If Zhang Hao can really split open the rocks behind him, then the gap between them will be greater than the gap between heaven and earth.
This enormous disparity was hard for her to accept for a moment, which is why she let out that exclamation.
The other mountain spirits were the same; they couldn't understand why Zhang Hao, an outsider, was so powerful, even more powerful than their king.
Zhang Hao walked straight ahead, pressed his body against the rock wall to feel the mountain's breath, and then adjusted his breathing rhythm to match the mountain's frequency.
Meng Qianzi stared intently at Zhang Hao, and seeing his relaxed and composed demeanor, she realized that the gap in strength between them was far greater than she had imagined.
The next second, a "click" sound rang in my ears.
She was all too familiar with that sound; it was the sound of cracks appearing in the rocks.
"The Five Mountains have actually been split open!"
"How on earth did he do it?"
Seeing the mountain spirit's shocked expression, the fat man asked curiously, "How powerful is my brother?"
"Let me put it this way: in the last five hundred years, the mountain spirit has at most split open four layers of mountains!"
"Holy crap, he's that good. Brother Zhang Hao is a monster. I don't know how he does it. He knows everything and is good at everything."
"Stop talking nonsense and go inside."
In the desolate wilderness, each of the nine mountains contains treasures left behind by mountain spirits, and Zhang Hao is very curious about what might be in the fifth mountain.
As soon as the crack appeared, he went straight in.
As soon as he entered, he felt a chill run through him, which made him shiver.
Looking around, one could see that the interior space of the rock was twice as large as the previous one, and the entire space was covered with a layer of white frost.
In the very center, a bronze chain still hangs down from above, and at the bottom hangs a fist-sized jar frozen in ice.
Zhang Hao walked over and took the jar off the bronze chain, holding it in his hand.
At that moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Rare item Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad detected.]
Zhang Hao opened the jar and found a white stone toad sculpture inside. He didn't know what its purpose was, but it was also a rare item.
Regardless of its function, fusion will not be a loss.
Rare items can increase system experience by 10 points and Qilin bloodline evolution progress by 10 points.
Both upgrading the level of the All Things Fusion System and creating a substitute for the Qilin bloodline level are extremely important.
Upgrading your system level unlocks new abilities, and upgrading your bloodline level as a Stand can increase various attributes and lifespan.
More importantly, when the Qilin bloodline reaches level 9, it can also unlock the ability to transform into human form.
Each time someone else's consciousness enters the body, the bloodline can temporarily take on a physical form.
The bloodline transformation only requires a roar to annihilate the consciousness of those gods.
This demonstrates the immense power of bloodline transformation.
As Zhang Hao gained a deeper understanding of this world, he realized that the gods were omnipresent.
The Zhang and Wu families will be exposed again sooner or later; it won't be long.
He must improve his strength as soon as possible, and ideally, he should be able to raise the Qilin bloodline to the ninth level before his identity is exposed, so that he will have another means to deal with the gods.
Having more options means having more opportunities, so he was actually quite anxious.
"System, merge with the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad."
[Ding, command received. Initiating fusion now.]
As the system notification sounded, the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad in Zhang Hao's hand vanished instantly, transforming into a ball of transparent liquid that enveloped Zhang Hao's entire body.
The tiny molecules that make up the liquid seem to have a life of their own, desperately trying to penetrate his body.
Once the body has absorbed all the liquid, the system notification sounded again.
[Ding, congratulations host, 81st fusion completed. Fusion item: Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on fusing with the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad and gaining the item trait: Cold Poison (can be used for healing or attacking depending on your will).]
The ability of the Cold Poison is quite peculiar; it can not only heal injuries but also be used as a means of attack.
However, compared to the acquired characteristics, Zhang Hao was more concerned about how fusing rare items would improve his bloodline evolution progress.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on fusing with the rare item Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad. Qilin bloodline evolution progress +10.]
The evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline has increased by 10 points again, bringing it one step closer to the 5th tier Qilin bloodline.
"call……"
"so cold……"
Zhang Hao's fusion was instantaneous; after he finished, the others also entered the fifth level of the mountain.
As soon as they entered, everyone felt the chill in the air.
This chill was brought by the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, but it has been absorbed, and the chill in the Five Mountains is gradually weakening.
As soon as Meng Qianzi entered the Five Mountains, she went straight to the middle. She looked up and saw a bronze chain hanging there, with nothing tied to it.
She muttered to herself, "Why is there nothing here? Could it be that the treasure was taken away by that ancestor hundreds of years ago?"
