Chapter 259: Palace of the Bone King
After hearing the words of the spirit of the weapon, Qin Ming fell into deep thought.

For a while.

The atmosphere in the air also froze.

"How do you prove that you have the Heavenly Demon Form Refining Strategy?"

Qin Ming pondered for a long time, then suddenly looked up and asked the Golden Toad Ancestor.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Toad Patriarch was also stunned and immediately said:

"A hundred years ago, a green dragon monster came here. At that time, it was only in the early third stage. I gave it a part of the "Heavenly Monster Refining Strategy"."

"According to this calculation, that green dragon should have reached the late third stage, right?"

After these words were spoken, not only Qin Ming, but even the Sky-Devouring Rat next to him was stunned.

According to this statement, the words of the Golden Toad Patriarch were not all nonsense.

"Master, I didn't expect that the Green-faced Poison Dragon's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and there is actually this reason."

"No wonder it can break through to the late third stage."

The Sky-Eating Rat couldn't help but secretly transmit a message.

"Yes, but the weapon spirit is right. We cannot let it out."

"With the strength of the Golden Toad Patriarch, even if he has fallen to the early third level, you and I are probably not his match."

Qin Ming transmitted the message secretly.

Just now.

Suddenly.

A voice suddenly sounded in Qin Ming's mind.

"The Heavenly Demon Form Refining Strategy is not on the Golden Toad. With its bloodline, it is not qualified to practice it."

"The skill of that poisonous dragon was not given by the golden toad, but by me."

"If you want the 'Heavenly Demon Form Refining Strategy', you can exchange it with me when you get out."

The spirit of the Magatama Golden Mirror spoke to Qin Ming indifferently.

Qin Ming's eyes flickered when he heard this, and for a moment, he didn't know who to believe.

However, he soon had an idea.

"Since you said so, how can you prove that the "Heavenly Demon Form Refining Strategy" is with you." Qin Ming asked the spirit of the weapon.

"That animal skin is indeed not with me, but I can show you a small part of the technique."

After the spirit of the weapon finished speaking, it showed a passage of text to Qin Ming’s mind.

Qin Ming’s divine consciousness peeked inside his body.

In his mind, there were seal characters exactly the same as those on his own animal skin scriptures, and the opening passage was the introduction to "Qi and Blood Embracing the Pill" and the condensation of the true pill in the Golden Pill chapter of "The Heavenly Demon's Form Refining Strategy".

After reading it, Qin Ming was very excited, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.

"Then let's do as you said and talk about it after we get out of this place." Qin Ming already believed most of what the weapon spirit said.

This is evident.

On the contrary, the Golden Toad Ancestor on the opposite side didn't tell the truth at all, and most likely wanted to use me to help it escape from trouble.

Once it escapes, there is no need to guess what the ending will be.

The Golden Toad Ancestor in the black hole seemed to have discovered something was wrong. He saw that the human boy was about to agree to him, but in just a short moment, he seemed to have changed his mind.

With its experienced mind, it only took a moment to think about it before it instantly understood what was going on.

The octogenarian Golden Toad ancestor suddenly grew in size and returned to his original terrifying appearance as a monster.

It roared, and slammed its huge claws on the black iron pillar, shouting angrily:
"Jin Lingzi! How dare you ruin my good deeds!"

"Damn it! I will cut you into pieces!"

"Ahhh!"

The Golden Toad Patriarch was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he was stopped by the black iron pillars and could do nothing to Qin Ming.

Seeing the great emotional fluctuations of the Golden Toad Ancestor, Qin Ming became more certain that what the spirit of the weapon said was most likely true.

He then said to the weapon spirit: "Do you have a way to get out of here?"

"No, the restrictions here are quite special. You have to find a way yourself." The spirit of the weapon said bluntly.

Qin Ming: "..."

He thought for a moment, then asked the Sky-Devouring Rat, "Can you handle this? If you can escape this time, I'll give you a great credit when we get out!"

Upon hearing this, the Sky-Eating Rat was immediately horrified, and said as if it had been injected with chicken blood: "Master, don't worry. Apart from other things, I am quite confident in my ability to dig holes."

After saying that, the Sky-Devouring Rat turned around and walked to the invisible barrier, using his innate magical power, Forbidden Mysterious Light, to break the restriction.

Mysterious black light continuously emanated from the mouth of the Sky-Devouring Rat and landed on the barrier.

An hour later.

The Sky-Eating Rat was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and said weakly:
"Damn it, Master, the grade of this barrier is quite high, probably reaching the top level of the third grade."

"Although my magical power has some effect, it will take some time to break it."

Qin Ming nodded when he heard this, "There is no other way under the current circumstances. I'm sorry to trouble you."

After he said that, he took out a Spiritual Transformation Fruit and restored the Sky-Devouring Rat to its original state.

The moment the Sky-Devouring Rat took the demon fruit, it went from being on the verge of death to being full of energy. After it took the demon fruit, it immediately started working, digging holes in the barrier without stopping.

Only after his demonic power was exhausted did he sit down to recover for a while.

This cycle repeated itself, and under the persuasion of the Sky-Eating Rat, a tiny hole gradually appeared in the invisible barrier in the canyon.

From the initial size of a pinhole, it grew to the size of a fist.

The Golden Toad Ancestor in the black hole was surprised to see that Qin Ming actually had a way to escape from this hellhole.

He suddenly became even more furious and furious.

He kept pounding the iron pillar, "Damn ants!"

Half a month later.

The Sky-Eating Rat finally opened a hole in the valley's barrier that was big enough for people to pass through.

"Oh my god! I was almost exhausted to death!" The Sky-Eating Rat slumped down on the ground.

"Well done!"

Qin Ming touched the Sky-Devouring Rat's head excitedly.

"Let's go without further delay."

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he fed the Sky-Devouring Rat a recovery pill and put all three pets into the spirit beast bag.

He looked back at the Golden Toad Ancestor who was full of resentment in the black hole, and then crawled out of the hole made by the Sky-Devouring Rat.

He left this troubled place without looking back.

Qin Ming left the canyon, deployed his magic shield, and swam directly out from the bottom of Taihu Lake.

Half an hour later.

Fresh air rushed into Qin Ming's nostrils again.

"Whoo~"

"Finally out!"

Qin Ming took a deep breath of the air outside and felt refreshed.

Although there were some twists and turns during the journey, it was still smooth and he also obtained the crucial magatama golden mirror spirit.

And he also had an unexpected gain, that is, the subsequent practice of "The Heavenly Demon Form Refining Strategy" was actually in the hands of the weapon spirit!

The holy book of the demon race that Qin Ming had longed for finally had a place to go.

The moment Qin Ming emerged from the bottom of the lake, many fishermen from the surrounding lakes came to catch fish.

When everyone saw a person suddenly emerge from the bottom of the lake, they were all shocked and thought it was a lake monster or something.

"It's not good, we need to leave this place quickly."

When Qin Ming was sighing, the spirit of the weapon in the storage bag, Jin Lingzi, suddenly spoke.

During the half month in the canyon, Qin Ming also learned the name of the spirit of the weapon, which turned out to be 'Jin Lingzi'.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Qin Ming heard the spirit's tone was a little serious, so he asked in confusion.

"You have broken the restriction of the Palace of the King of Bones. Soon, the highest being inside will probably be resurrected again."

The spirit of the weapon continued in a sad tone:

"To be inaccurate, it should be said that it was my master, the previous owner of the Magatama Golden Mirror - White Bone Immortal."

The words of the spirit of the weapon had just fallen.

woohoo~
boom!
At this moment, the surface of the lake beneath Qin Ming suddenly rolled up, and sounds like the roars of evil spirits came from the bottom of Taihu Lake, and waves dozens of feet high rose into the sky!

Qin Ming quickly flew away from the lake, looking at everything in front of him in astonishment.

As the surface of the lake exploded, a thick evil aura surged out like a tide, and a white light filled with death shot straight into the sky from the canyon gully at the bottom of the lake.

Above the sky of Taihu Lake, a spiral of dark clouds gathered, surrounded by evil thunder, which was uncertain and exuded a breathtaking power.

The white light that jumped out from the bottom of the lake connected with the dark clouds in the sky, stirring up the abyss deep at the bottom of the lake.

There were countless cries of ghosts and wolves howling, and the monks who came here to fish and hunt saw such a doomsday scene.

Before they could escape, they were caught in the evil gale formed by the dark clouds and were torn into pieces in an instant.

The immortal cultivation families around Taihu Lake and the independent cultivators who came here to hunt monsters and search for treasures saw this earth-shaking scene from a distance.

They all jumped into the sky.

Everyone was stunned, staring at the amazing changes on Taihu Lake.

"Oh my god! What on earth is happening?"

"Look! Something seems to be coming out from under Lake Tai!"

"That's not right! With such a strong evil aura, I'm afraid something is not right."

"I have lived in Taihu Lake for more than a hundred years, and this is the first time I have seen such an abnormal celestial phenomenon."

"Quickly report this to the sect. A shocking phenomenon has occurred in Jingzhou Taihu Lake!"

Qin Ming looked at the "masterpiece" he had created, watched it for a moment, and left without looking back.
