In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

After dealing with the matter of the Heavenly Emperor's son, the stone egg, and the Holy Woman, Zhang Taichu settled down in the Yaochi Holy Land.

In addition to his daily cultivation, he was served by beautiful women. The most beautiful of them, the Jade Pool Saintess, would come to greet him almost every day and then discuss matters of cultivation.

She answered her questions about cultivation methods in secret realms, while Zhang Taichu taught her some source techniques; the two got what they needed from each other.

"I never expected that you, Brother Taichu, would not only receive the inheritance of the Source Celestial Master, but also the inheritance of that God King from the Tomb of the Fallen King. The profound meaning of the Divine Mark Purple Gold is truly convenient."

At this moment, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi held in her hand the purple-gold bead that was the inheritance of the God King. The sound of deities chanting scriptures came out, which greatly benefited her.

Zhang Taichu did not value this God King's inheritance, so he took it out, which also misled the other party.

Because he had already planned to go to the old site of Yaochi to retrieve the Western Emperor Scripture, the people of Yaochi would only think that he was cultivating the Surging Waves Scripture, and would not think of anything else.

Even if it is discovered in the future that the scriptures Zhang Taichu was practicing have changed, people will only assume that they were found elsewhere and will not make a fuss or dig too deep.

Of course, the Great Emperor's Scriptures of the Big Dipper without a Master are not limited to the Western Emperor Scripture. As far as Zhang Taichu knows, there are two other scriptures, namely the True Scripture of the Sun and the Supreme Emperor Scripture.

All three are complete, especially the Taihuang Scripture, which is the refined version that the Taihuang Emperor revised before his death, and is even better than the one currently practiced by the Great Xia Dynasty.

Incomplete scriptures include the Taiyin True Scripture, but considering the difficulty of obtaining them, Zhang Taichu decided to make the Western Emperor Scripture his main scripture.

Several days passed, and finally, Yaochi received a mission.

The story is about a death incident that occurred in a mining area of ​​Yaochi, also known as a "ghost mine," which resulted in many deaths. The story asks Zhang Taichu to go and take a look.

Zhang Taichu also wanted to see what the mining area of ​​the Holy Land was like, so he agreed.

They arrived at the mining area with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and saw many miners who looked pale and sickly, with fear still lingering on their faces.

"This is……"

"Tai Chu, don't misunderstand. Our Yaochi miners all came voluntarily, and we not only provide them with meals but also pay them wages. The reason they look like this now is because many people have died in the Ghost Mine."

Zhang Taichu is not a saint, and at this stage he has no ability to change the overall environment, so he has no intention of asking further questions.

We arrived at the area where the ghost mine was located, and even before entering, we could feel a strong sense of foreboding.

Zhang Taichu took out dozens of kilograms of pure source and began to set up an array near the ghost mine. As the source array was activated, the ominous aura was suppressed and eventually sealed in a source stone.

Zhang Taichu violently blasted open the rock layer and dug out the source stone, only to find a ferocious claw.

"This is... the hand of an ancient race?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi had exceptional insight; she recognized her at a glance.

Zhang Taichu nodded slightly.

"He should be an ordinary ancient clan, not a royal family, much less an imperial family. His strength in life should be around the peak of Immortal 1 or the early stage of Immortal 2, definitely not Immortal 3."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi also agreed with Zhang Taichu's judgment. Immortal 3 is a king. The corpse of a king can be easily killed by the aura of even cultivators from the Sea of ​​Wheels and the Dao Palace, let alone mortals. The harm caused is definitely not just what it is now.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi wanted to dispose of it harmlessly, but Zhang Taichu stopped her.

"Let me take a look before you process it. If there are any traces of Dao left, I might be able to obtain an ancient secret technique."

After speaking, Zhang Taichu sat cross-legged in front of the source stone, first closing his eyes tightly, then suddenly opening them, and a pale purple light flashed.

"You've already mastered the Origin Heaven Divine Eye?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gasped softly, then seemed to realize something, covered her chest with her hands, and nervously took a few steps back. It was clear that she knew the function of the Source Heaven Divine Eye.

"This is not the Origin Heaven Divine Eye, but the profound meaning of the Divine Mark Purple Gold."

Ignoring the Yaochi Saintess's petty thoughts, Zhang Taichu began to use all his strength to unleash the profound mysteries of immortal gold, trying to capture the remaining Dao traces on the hands of the ancient race.

Since most people use their hands as a medium to perform secret techniques, the hands are the most capable of capturing Dao traces, second only to the head, compared to other parts of the body.

Just a few minutes later, traces of the Dao began to flash in Zhang Taichu's eyes. At this moment, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi came over again, equally curious about the profound mysteries of the Divine Mark Purple Gold.

After all, being able to directly capture the traces of the Dao between heaven and earth is an unparalleled secret technique that anyone would be tempted by.

Even though she is a prodigy of the Eastern Wilderness and comes from a holy land, enjoying the best resources, who would complain about having too many secret techniques?

Didn't you see in the original work that whenever there was news of the Nine Secrets, it would attract the disciples of all the holy lands to gather?

A full hour passed before Zhang Taichu finished his practice and sighed.

"It's a pity. Perhaps it's because it's too ancient. We only managed to capture one secret technique called Heart-Eating Hand. The other techniques are incomplete and don't form a complete system."

Zhang Taichu familiarized himself with the area for a moment, then aimed at a two-meter square rock in the distance and unleashed a Black Tiger Heart Strike.

A faint cracking sound came from inside the rock. The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was moved and gently waved her hand at the stone.

A fine, dense sword aura shot past, slicing the stone in two. It was then discovered that a fist-sized cavity had appeared inside the two halves of the stone.

It looked as if it had been forcibly dug out, but strangely, the stone's surface was completely undamaged.

"Penetrating damage? Could it be a spatial arcane technique?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was shocked. She knew that spatial techniques were very advanced, and the Ji family was the most skilled in this kind of power in the entire Eastern Wilderness. The Void Scripture written by the Void Emperor was a spatial technique.

Zhang Taichu shook his head.

"It's not a spatial technique, but a secret method that transforms magical power into thin threads to penetrate the enemy's defenses and then destroy them from within."

"It's not that profound, but using it suddenly in a fierce battle can still have a good effect. In short, it's a bit insidious, but in a life-or-death battle, what's so insidious about it? Any move that can defeat the enemy is a good move. Do you want to learn it? I'll teach you."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi has become quite familiar with Zhang Taichu during this time, and has even changed how she addresses him. Before, she called him Brother Taichu, but now she has dropped the "brother" part.

Zhang Taichu taught the Heart-Eating Hand technique to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. She was extremely talented and mastered the secret technique in less than half an hour.

After dealing with the Ghost Mine, Zhang Taichu wanted to go down into the mine to see how wealthy the Yaochi Mine was. The Yaochi Saintess didn't stop him and even accompanied him down into the mine.

Zhang Taichu, together with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, used the Earth Escape Technique to quickly descend into the ground.

Feeling the flowing water-like strata around her, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi looked at Zhang Taichu with some anticipation.

The latter sighed.

"It's not that I'm stingy and don't want to teach you, it's just that the Earth Escape Technique requires a certain level of Source Technique to be practiced. You haven't fully mastered the Source Technique I taught you before, so you can't practice Earth Escape."

It was through this incident that Zhang Taichu gained a certain understanding of his own comprehension.

He could master the Earth Escape Technique in just one month, but Yaochi Saintess, a prodigy of the Eastern Wilderness, couldn't even get the basics right. Zhang Taichu wanted to see how long it would take her to learn it, or if she would never learn it at all.

With the help of his divine sense, Zhang Taichu quickly found some sources with goods. Just as he was about to return, he suddenly discovered a treasure that was of great importance to him at that moment.
