Chapter 775 Thunder Gu!
Using the momentum of his toes to tap the wall of the well, he continued to spiral downward. In just a few breaths, he had surpassed Partridge Whistle who had jumped in first.
Everyone at Xiangling in the well was stunned.
"Tsk tsk! Master Xu's supernatural powers are no longer that of an ordinary person. He is simply an immortal." At this time, Chen Yulou was looking at the figure in the well with yearning in his heart: "This is what a true hero is. A real man in the world should emulate Xu Nuo and be so free and detached." Hua Ling and Hong Girl also admired this figure very much.
Xu Nuo, who was sinking along the wall of the well, was attracted by some golden-armored gods in the recess.
The runes on these statues made him very concerned, as they were completely different from the various spells used in the Xiangxi area that he had known before.
For example, although the Chenzhou Thunder Talismans that Jin Laosan is good at are powerful, they are all written on yellow paper and cinnabar, and are difficult to preserve for a long time; however, this batch of talismans affixed by gods and men still emit rich energy after hundreds of years, and that aura is not a special power that can be covered by common demonic aura, corpse aura or other evil auras.
That was not the so-called fairy spirit, but a restraining force derived from the laws of nature, which deeply attracted Xu Nuo.
He then landed in a pit and suddenly discovered the yellow talisman on the golden-armored god's forehead. The cinnabar on it was still as red as fire, and it faintly carried the aura of heavenly thunder - it was also a thunder talisman! However, after hundreds of years of erosion, these thunder talismans were more or less damaged.
However, since Xu Nuo is not from a Taoist sect and is not currently proficient in the art of talismans, he is completely unable to activate their effectiveness.
But Xu Nuo soon understood the value of these thunder talismans.
He is an expert in witchcraft and uses witchcraft to practice Taoism, so he is not suitable for casting spells in the traditional Taoist way.
But he happens to know a unique skill: Thunder Gu!
Previously, Xu Nuo had learned this Gu technique - Thunder Gu - after defeating Jin Lao San.
This skill can only be acquired in the unique environment of Xiangxi.
Xiangxi is famous for producing cinnabar and making thunder talismans, and Taoism and witchcraft are both well developed.
When refining Thunder Gu, one must use things with lightning properties as well as materials such as cinnabar and mercury.
Except for the last point, Xu Nuo could actually prepare all the other items, but he had been suffering from the lack of things containing the power of thunder and lightning.
The Chenzhou Thunder Talismans currently collected by the Royal Dan Palace happened to be excellent raw materials for refining Gu, so he immediately took them from the golden-armored celestial being.

Just as he touched the thunder talisman, he felt a slight numbness. Those small symbols emitting light purple electric current shocked Xu Nuo.
Sure enough, this is a high-grade thunder talisman specially made for the royal residence of the Song Dynasty. Both the paper and cinnabar are of top grade. Even the writing style is as smooth and elegant as the Slender Gold calligraphy, and it is mighty and aggressive.
The thunder energy contained within it is still considerable.
Although hundreds of years have passed, the remaining thunder power on these talismans is still clearly perceptible.
I think they were all embedded in the well wall in the past to suppress the monsters and poisonous creatures in Pingshan.
Every few feet along the wall of the Baojing, there is a guardian deity, wearing a royal weapon to repel insects and expel evil spirits: the Chenzhou Thunder Talisman.
Even the most powerful and ferocious monsters and evil insects would not dare to offend easily if they sensed the existence of such restrictions.
So even after such a long time, no filth came near the treasure well.
In comparison, the treasure well that Chen Yulou and Queqiao Shao explored in another version of Xu Nuo's memory seemed much more chaotic, which shows that the treasures at the bottom of the well were intact and undisturbed.
After all, it is still unknown whether the Mongol army has reached this point.
If this is true, the jade cover on top and these thunder talismans would have been able to remain intact until now.
This judgment made Xu Nuo's blood boil. There might be wealth far beyond his expectations hidden deep in the treasure well! But at the same time, the corresponding risks should not be underestimated.
Just take the current situation as an example, if these thunder talismans were still fully functional, Xu Nuo would have probably been struck by many lightning strikes when he entered, right?
After realizing the key problem, Xu Nuo acted decisively and calmed down to deal with the most urgent task: collecting all the talismans with the power of thunder.
Then, like an owl hunting at night, he nimbly and lightly shuttled around the empty treasure well to search for the hidden mechanisms in the target grooves, and one by one he uncovered the thunder talismans on the surface of the god's body and put them into the Panwang Bowl for safekeeping.
Every time a new talisman is placed in the bowl, it will trigger a strong wave of black mist; accompanied by strands of flashes, electric snakes can be vaguely seen moving around in it.
Not long after, Xu Nuo had peeled off and collected all the thunder talismans that had been pasted by the golden-armored gods on the walls of the Baojing.
At this point, the situation at the bottom of the well finally appeared before Xu Nuo.
The scene at the bottom of the well surprised him so much that he almost gasped in shock.
He originally thought that there would be alchemy furnaces, minerals, medicinal herbs and other things at the bottom of the well, but what actually appeared before his eyes was an empty space with hundreds of coffins placed on it.
Although they were just coffins, if they were just ordinary coffins, they would not have caused Xu Nuo such a great shock - because these coffins at the bottom of the well looked extremely unusual.
There are so many of them and they are so chaotic and disorderly that there is no pattern at all.
Among them are both coffins and outer coffins, as well as several pottery jars that were obviously used for urn burials, and some single-wood coffins carved from special wood.
Some of the coffins were inlaid with gold and jade and painted with dragon and phoenix patterns, looking extremely luxurious; while others were shabby and simple, obviously from different eras.
The time span is also quite strange: from ancient tombs to various coffins from the Tang and Song dynasties.
When Xu Nuo gently landed at the bottom of the well, he found that the coffins had basically been opened, and the contents inside were exposed.
Only then did he slowly sort out some clues in his mind - although each corpse had different clothing and appearance, and spanned several periods from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, the common point was very obvious, that is, the vast majority of the corpses were preserved intact!
Under normal circumstances, the remains in most ancient tombs should have long since decayed into dust or at least turned into bones, and only a small amount of bones remaining can be considered to be in a well-preserved condition.
Even worse, in ancient tombs, the owner's existence is often only symbolized by a handful of soil and a few teeth and bones.
However, the opened coffins at the bottom of the treasure well actually contained complete corpses instead of bones.
If we follow logical reasoning, some coffins from the Song Dynasty may have kept the corpses from decaying due to the unique feng shui pattern and vitality inside the well; but for coffins that are even older, even those from the Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties, it is obviously impossible for them to naturally reach such a state.
Obviously, these are materials that have been carefully selected and prepared for alchemy.
"Menxiang" was the professional name for this kind of immortal things in ancient times.
It is said that the reason they have been able to be preserved for so long is because of the "dragon energy" in the underground veins.
Although this power is illusory and difficult to capture and extract, once these zombies are boiled and melted as the starting material, some of the dragon energy remaining in them can be extracted.
In addition, these wooden, stone or bronze coffins containing corpses have been buried in the underground dragon vein area for many years and have also absorbed a lot of essence from heaven and earth.
Therefore, even if it is only used as fuel in the process of burning pills, the quality can be greatly improved.
Of course, it is undeniable that such an approach is considered a side path and a risky one even in the inner alchemy school.
After all, the act of refining Yin Dan with the remains of the deceased is bound to touch the Yin De forbidden area no matter what.
While Xu Nuo was thinking, he suddenly noticed a golden light emanating from his forehead, and then he found an extremely eye-catching object in the chaotic coffins - a huge bronze alchemy furnace! This more than two-meter-high device was covered with various bird and animal patterns and ancient inscriptions, revealing a strong ancient atmosphere.
That item was obviously not from the same lineage as Panwang Bowl. It should be some ancient seal script that records the secrets of elixirs.
However, on the outer wall of the alchemy furnace, many black marks appeared, which was completely different from the patina on ordinary bronze ware.
With just one glance, Xu Nuo understood the reason - there must be a large amount of mercury inside, and the black spots on the outside were caused by mercury seepage.
If an ordinary person saw this devastating scene, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
But at this moment, Xu Nuo's eyes were aroused with a hint of excitement.
These coffin remains scattered all over the ground, regardless of their value, can be used as ideal materials for making corpse Gu.
The corpse insect he had raised before had already taken shape, and the small bone used as a seed had already begun to emit a lustrous light.
Now this dead land is filled with zombies, at least hundreds of them, all of which have been carefully selected by the royal family and have deep dragon energy in their bodies.
It would be a waste of resources if they were not used to make corpse poison.
So Xu Nuo took out the warm little bone and summoned the Panwang Bowl at the same time.
In an instant, a slight rustling sound was heard in the air around them.
After sleeping for thousands of years, the zombie corpses lying in the coffins began to move slowly, and many even tried to get up.
All the zombies gathered towards the location of Panwang Bowl. The corpse Gu in Panwang Bowl seemed to emit a mysterious power, attracting these long-unrotted corpses.
Before long, they were all covered by the thick black smoke coming out of Panwang Bowl. In a short time, they turned into powder and fell to the ground, becoming dust.
The corpse qi and residual dragon qi from the earth's veins all entered the Panwang Bowl, taking less than the time it takes to eat a meal.
The numerous zombies that originally existed under the Danjing disappeared, leaving only scattered coffins and piles of dust on the ground.
The power of these zombies was integrated into the Panwang Bowl and condensed around the shiny little bone.
This three-inch small bone began to metamorphose, gradually changing from a single bone into a whole skeleton, and began to grow strands of red substance that looked similar to flesh and blood.
Xu Nuo also felt his scalp tingling when he saw this.
Then a voice sounded in his mind: "Your corpse Gu absorbed the aura of the top-level elixir zombies in Pingshan Danjing, and was upgraded to the middle-grade earth level." Xu Nuo frowned and quickly put away the changing corpse Gu. It was really too evil.
