Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 118 The Great Nourishing Item: The Lotus of Immortality!

One by one, everyone awoke from their daze.

"Where...where am I?" Zhang Xiaohou opened his eyes, looking bewildered.

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Now that everyone is awake, let's go."

Mo Fan was immediately drawn to the white palace, muttering, "That white palace must be the tomb of the ancient king."

A short while later.

The group arrived at the foot of the palace and stared in astonishment at the grand white staircase before them.

It didn't look this exaggerated from a distance.

But when they arrived at the steps...

However, they discovered that the stairs were extremely wide, stretching over two hundred meters from left to right.

Looking up, it seemed to lead directly to the sky.

For humans, the stairs are too high; just climbing them takes a long time.

……

Above the gray sky, from the murky clouds formed by countless vengeful ghosts, came bursts of mournful howls.

The pristine white of the tomb palace seemed out of place in this filthy, gray world. If one didn't know it was the tomb of an ancient king, one would probably mistake it for some kind of sacred magical temple.

At this moment, everyone was like ants, constantly climbing upwards on a large, white, wrinkled sheet of paper.

After walking for a while.

Stone figurines gradually appeared on both sides of the white jade steps.

"Why do I feel like this thing is alive?" Zhang Xiaohou glanced at the two silent stone statues on either side and felt a chill run down his spine.

"Your feeling is right, they are indeed alive, but they are currently dormant. As long as we don't release energy fluctuations, we shouldn't disturb them," Chu Ming explained after glancing around.

"Hey guys, stop feeling sentimental, let's speed things up a bit."

Mo Fan, who also felt unwell, couldn't help but urge him on.

"Can the ones behind keep up?" Chu Ming glanced at Su Xiaoluo and Fang Gu behind him.

Zhang Xiaohou turned around and saw that Su Xiaoluo seemed to be running out of energy, but she didn't say anything and was gritting her teeth and persevering.

He quickly ran over and took her arm, saying, "Let's go!"

See here.

Chu Ming and Mo Fan quickened their pace, and Zhang Xiaohou also put his arm around Su Xiaoluo to catch up.

Fang Gu, a middle-aged man, stared at the young man's back, glared at him, took a few breaths, and quickly followed after him.

After a while.

The group successfully arrived at the main gate of the palace.

"Something's not right with that bronze mirror, is it?"

As soon as Zhang Xiaohou looked up, he saw a strange large bronze mirror hanging above the tomb.

Fang Gu frowned and examined it for a long time, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him: "I remember now, this is the Evil Eye Bronze Mirror... This is what our Kun Well saw!"

Su Xiaoluo, who was standing nearby, suddenly realized and said, "When I was a child, one night I saw a scene in the well water where there was a piece of jade-white stone, which looked like a series of steps. It seems to be these stone steps that we just climbed up!"

"So, all those well water paintings we created are real, depicting scenes from our ancestors' tombs?!"

I heard two people come up with an ancient saying.

Chu Ming seemed to be deep in thought.

The well in the old, dangerous village.

If you could see the scene inside the tomb.

So, it seems they were actually the guardians of the ancient king's tomb?

Therefore, the residents of the dangerous village were able to continue their lineage in the Land of the Dead for generations.

Besides the Kun Well water, the biggest reason is probably that they originated from the bloodline of an ancient king.

At this moment, Fang Gu's eyes flickered, as if he had figured something out, and he took out an old bronze mirror about the size of his palm.

In terms of appearance and style, it is clearly similar to the evil eye bronze mirror above.

Fang Gu raised the small bronze mirror and looked at it in the Evil Eye Mirror.

hum!

Suddenly, the Evil Eye Mirror blinked, and then the white door slowly opened.

It was as if an invisible hand suddenly pulled open the white stone door that had been sealed for thousands of years.

call--

An incredibly terrifying gust of cold wind howled out from within.

next second.

The stone figures on either side of the white jade steps exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

"Hurry up, those stone figures are about to awaken," Fang Gu said. After sorting out the matter of the well water painting, he had a complete understanding of some things.

Following Fang Gu, the group quickly stepped into the white tomb palace.

While walking through a long gallery.

I saw the lithographs hanging on both sides.

Fang Gu seemed to have been here before, and he earnestly warned everyone beforehand, "Remember, don't look at the painting. There's a mind-based trap inside. Once you fall for it, you'll be trapped in an illusionary dream!"

Hearing the reminder.

Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou both controlled their minds and avoided looking at the lithographs.

But Chu Ming entered the gallery the moment...

I've already started browsing.

I glanced at the contents of the stone slab painting in a few seconds. It was mostly about the ancient king's political achievements and military exploits.

The spiritual power depicted in the lithographs is indeed considerable.

Among the group of spiritual mage painters who carved the paintings back then, there should have been a high-level spiritual mage who served as their mentor.

In other words, Chu Ming's mental and spiritual power was abnormally strong enough to allow him to browse at will.

……

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

A short while later.

I walked through the gallery.

A spacious front palace appeared before everyone.

"Wait a minute, this place is completely enclosed, isn't it? Did we go to the wrong place?"

Zhang Xiaohou looked around and asked Fang Gu, who was leading the way, with a puzzled expression.

The palace was completely enclosed, and there was no way to go any further.

Now, apart from the mysterious and obscure inscriptions on the pillars, the only striking feature of the entire former palace is the demonic lotus resting on the stone platform.

"You've come to the right place. According to ancient teachings, the bridge to the altar will only appear when the immortal lotus dies."

Fang Gu stared at the blue lotus on the stone platform and explained.

Chu Ming approached the lotus flower, preparing to sense it.

Suddenly, a telepathic call came from the Gengar in the shadows.

"Hehehe!"

I heard Gengar's excited voice.

Chu Ming was somewhat surprised.

Since Gengar devoured the high-level mage Luo Mian and a large amount of Shadow-type resources, it has advanced to the Monarch level.

They are almost no longer interested in things of low energy.

This thing... looks like a great tonic for Ghost-type Pokémon.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohou was more direct and began to tear at the pinkish-blue demonic lotus: "Let it die, that's easy, I'll just break it into pieces, won't it die?"

"You'll see once you try," Fang Gu said.

Zhang Xiaohou moved with extreme speed, tearing the demonic lotus to shreds in just a few moves: "Isn't that simple?"

But he had barely finished speaking.

The fallen petals scattered on the ground fluttered up in the air.

They all flew back to the stone platform.

In the blink of an eye, they miraculously glued themselves back together, restoring their original appearance.

Zhang Xiaohou frowned and immediately unleashed a wind-based spell: "I refuse to believe it... Wind Disc - Heavenly Net!"

The strong wind pulverized the demonic lotus into powder.

However, once the storm subsided...

In a few seconds, all the powder returned to the stone platform and condensed into a blue demonic lotus.

"ah--"

Zhang Xiaohou was dumbfounded.

Chu Ming patted Zhang Xiaohou on the shoulder and said, "Let me give it a try."

"It's probably useless anyway. With our strength, it's impossible for us to destroy it." Fang Gu shook his head in frustration.

next moment.

Gengar suddenly appeared, firmly grasping the Flour in its hand, its mouth open, and a black vortex of devouring energy emerged from its mouth.

It seems they sensed a threat.

The Lotus of Immortality suddenly trembled, and a phantom image of a lotus soul appeared.

next second.

Ripples of blue light bloomed on the petals.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan's gaze was also fixed on the lotus flower, sensing the call of the little mudskipper pendant, with some hesitation in his eyes.
