She looked at Lin Chen and said apologetically, "Ning Yu's uncle should have arrived. This is related to grandpa's condition. I have to go and take a look."
"But don't worry, I will tell the kitchen to prepare dinner for you."
"No, I'm used to eating my own food," Lin Chen said.
"Okay then," Zhang Tianxue nodded, then said, "Then I'll go over first, and you can rest here."
After that, Zhang Tianxue left with the housekeeper.
Lin Chen stretched his body and came to the room arranged for him by Zhang Tianxue. It was very elegant and clean.
Lin Chen lay down on the bed and just waited for it to get dark.
As darkness falls, the banquet hall is brightly lit. Zhang Changfeng and Zhang Changlin are accompanying them in person, with a very low profile, toasting the guests.
Ning Yu looked proud and extremely proud.
Zhang Tianxue was sitting in his seat, looking a little ugly.
Lin Chen left the room quietly. He took a look at the situation in the banquet living room, which seemed a bit complicated.
But I didn't pay special attention to it.
It doesn't matter what Ning Yu wants to do, anyway, he is already a dead man.
Lin Chen walked all the way to Zhang Zhiquan's residence.
Although Zhang Zhiquan has resigned as the clan leader, he is still the helmsman of the Zhang family and the Dinghai Shenzhen.
His safety is directly related to the survival of the Zhang family.
Therefore, the Zhang family spared no effort in investing in Zhang Zhiquan. The courtyard where he is located is protected by nearly a hundred major formations, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach.
Except Lin Chen.
After all, the Zhao family's formation restrictions are beyond Lin Chen's control, let alone the Zhang family?
Lin Chen used the power of tungsten to enter it.
Go into the courtyard.
This is a very simple courtyard, very different from the overall luxury of the Zhang family, and much more restrained.
There are several spirit-gathering formations arranged here, as well as spiritual nourishment formations, holy water formations, etc. to help maintain health. A large array that supports body functions is expensive to build.
Avoid several powerful guards.
Lin Chen entered Zhang Zhiquan's room.
Zhang Zhiquan was lying on the bed at the moment, with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed. It was obvious that he was in pain and could not rest well at all.
In the past, Lin Chen had met Zhang Zhiquan, a energetic old man.
But now, it is described as withered.
He looked extremely ill and half of his body was buried in the ground.
"Does this mean things are getting better? It seems like this old man only had half a breath left before." Lin Chen shook his head.
Then, Lin Chen investigated Zhang Zhiquan's specific situation.
Under his powerful perception, Zhang Zhiquan's condition was clearly visible, and all the details emerged in Lin Chen's mind.
"The meridians are so swollen. No wonder the vitality is getting less and less. However, I can still vaguely feel the breath of the leaves of the Dragon Flower. It seems to be integrated into the body," Lin Chen whispered.
He is not a pharmacist and does not understand pathology, but now it seems that the elixir refined by Ning Yu is just a powerful medicine that forcibly replenishes Qi and blood.
But treating the symptoms does not cure the root cause!
A tree without roots will eventually wither.
"What exactly caused this situation?" Lin Chen wondered.
Zhang Tianxue said that Zhang Zhiquan contracted the strange disease because he rashly opened an altar.
Things like altars often communicate with some strange things. Zhang Zhiquan was afraid that after opening the altar, he was contaminated by some ominous things behind the altar.
If so, that thing should still be in Zhang Zhiquan's body.
If this thing is not removed, Zhang Zhiquan will not be able to recover at all. Relying on elixirs will always treat the symptoms but not the root cause, making it difficult to cure the disease.
"Did I not investigate clearly?"
Lin Chen used his powerful senses, as if to investigate, and already knew Zhang Zhiquan's physical condition very well.
But nothing suspicious appeared.
This shouldn't be the case.
"Or has it been completely integrated into Mr. Zhang's body and become a part of his body?" Lin Chen's eyes flashed, feeling that this was the only possibility left.
At that moment, Lin Chen became so violent that his senses almost turned into needles before he peeled off Zhang Zhiquan's flesh and blood inch by inch.
He wants a blanket search!
Of course, Lin Chen controlled this process to an extremely small range of movements and would not attract Zhang Zhiquan's attention.
However, to achieve this level is undoubtedly a big project and cannot be rushed.
In this way, a full half an hour passed, and Lin Chen finally gained something!
On Zhang Zhiquan's spine, Lin Chen found a special bone. Although it had been completely fused with Zhang Zhiquan's bones, Lin Chen could still distinguish it.
There is still a very fine line between new bones and old bones!
If it weren't for Lin Chen's extremely meticulous search, it would have been impossible to detect it.
certainly.
Anyone else would not have such a powerful perception as Lin Chen.
"Parasite bone? Or something else?" Lin Chen frowned. Although he found something special, he had no idea what it was.
Never seen or heard of it.
At this time, I can only ask Bai Shu for help.
When Bai Shu came out, he first despised Lin Chen for not studying well, then blinked his big eyes and said in surprise, "White Bone Demon, it's really strange that such a rare thing can be seen in a place like this!"
"White Bone Demon?" Lin Chen whispered and couldn't help but ask, "Is this a kind of monster?"
"It's a kind of poison", Bai Shu said surprisingly!
"..." Lin Chen's heart was shaken and he didn't say anything else. , let Bai Shu continue.
"It is said that a poison master first developed a special toxin. Once infected, the toxin will invade the bones of living creatures, and then eat away at them step by step, eventually causing the bones to dissolve!"
"This is a very vicious poison, and it was very successful at the beginning. This poison made the poison master famous. After all, even the strong men in the Zhikong Realm can't stop the spread of this poison."
"But then something went wrong. The toxin seemed to mutate on its own. Instead of dissolving, the bones infected by the toxin became stronger and stronger. However, the flesh and blood was sucked dry and dissolved instead!"
"It's nothing originally. It's just poison. It doesn't matter if it dissolves flesh and blood or dissolves bones, as long as it's useful."
"Until the skeleton begins to gain consciousness!"
When Lin Chen heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he felt a creepy feeling.
The skeleton invaded by toxins actually became conscious?
"Is it that bone or that toxin?!" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask.
"It's not sure. At least for the original skeleton, whether the bones gave rise to consciousness or the poison gave rise to consciousness, we still can't tell."
"But one thing is certain, the toxins spread by that special skeleton can 100% create a white bone demon, which is a conscious skeleton!" Bai Shu said.
"This incident was so weird that it made all races feel scared, so later, the strong men of all races joined forces to suppress it and purified most of the White Bone Toxin, leaving only a small part circulating in the corners."
"But maybe because the original White Bone Demon was destroyed, the White Bone Demon did not appear again in the future. The White Bone Demon will appear occasionally, but it is not too strong and is no longer a cause for concern."
Lin Chen didn't expect that Zhang Zhiquan would encounter something with such a terrifying origin.
Could it be that what was sealed behind the altar was a white-bone demon?
"But if you encounter it, it's not necessarily a bad thing," Bai Shu said.
