At this moment, there was one thing that made Zhu Que very puzzled.


    Just now when Xiao Shun lit up the furnace, she had taken a nce inside, and there was nothing inside at all.


    Also, the excitement on Xiao Shun’s face now was enough to show that he was also extremely surprised by this.


    Thinking of this, she was astonished and said, “Could this Dark Gold have been hidden inside the golden Buddha all this time?”


    Xiao Shun nodded, and his expression suddenly became a little worried.


    “This is the only exnation. It looks like we’ve gotten a hold of something extraordinary!”


    “Something extraordinary?” Zhu Que was surprised.


    “Dark Gold is an extremely special material, said to be taken from meteorites outside the world. Its hardness is unparalleled in the world, and look…”


    After saying that, Xiao Shun handed the Dark Gold to Zhu Que.


    Looking at it closely for a moment, Zhu Que realized there were three tiny seal script characters engraved on the Dark Gold. Judging from the brushwork, it should be ancient Qin seal script.


    She was quite knowledgeable about the ancient and modern history of this country, but she had no clue about the texts from more than two thousand years ago.


    Left with no choice, Zhu Que had to ask Xiao Shun next to her, “What does it say on it?”


    “Antarctica,” Xiao Shun replied.


    After following his master for many years, he had also gained a deep understanding of ancient texts through his mentor, so this was naturally not difficult for him!


    Immediately, Zhu Que said something that almost made Xiao Shun spit blood.


    “Is this thing from the South Pole Observatory?”Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    After barely posing as a knowledgeable tutor once, you damned cat, at least give me a word ofpliment, what the hell is South Pole Observatory?!


    Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xiao Shun nced at the nonchnt Zhu Que beside him.


    “Cough cough, I find that you have the potential to be aedian!”


    “What do you mean?”


    “Nothing, I just feel like your joke is too cold, colder than the ice and snow at the South Pole by a few degrees!”


    Shrugging her shoulders, Zhu Que replied inly, “I don’t understand jokes.”


    “Forget it, let’s not think too much about it for now since we can’t figure it out at the moment anyway,” Xiao Shun said, giving up.


    Seeminglycking motivation, he casually stuffed the Dark Gold into his pocket and turned to look at Zhu Que beside him.


    “The gold spirit liquid needs one night to solidify. It will be ready by tomorrow morning. I’ll give you some diagramster, you can find a stone b or piece of wood to practice on first. When the timees, I’ll let you personally carve the spirit pattern.”


    “Okay.”


    Zhu Que nodded lightly. She had no objections to such an arrangement.


    Xiao Shun reminded, “The most important thing for you now is to cultivate ording to the mantra I gave you. This will greatly reduce the time it takes for you to learn spirit pattern engraving.”


    “I will!”


    “That’s it for now. If you have any questions, feel free toe to me. Your tutor Xiao Shun is here to relieve your worries and solve your problems at any time. No need for 998 or 98, just a word of praise from you will do!”


    Xiao Shun blinked obscenely, but was met with Zhu Que’s cold face.


    “Bah, no fun!”


    Waving his hand, Xiao Shun left the warehouse with a lonely figure.


    The moment he stepped out, a trace of smile shed across Zhu Que’s face, but soon returned to calm.


    “Damn it, is it so hard topliment me? Am I not worthy?”


    Cursing and stomping, Xiao Shun walked back to the cold, empty guest room.


    No Golden Lotus, no wife, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.


    “Oh well, I’m free anyway.”


    Frustrated, he took out the Dark Gold from his pocket and held it in front of him to examine carefully.


    Until his eyes were swollen from staring, there was still nothing else he could find besides those three small seal scripts.


    “This is not right. I heard Master say that Dark Gold is usually either used to forge divine weapons, or to record important information. But why is there nothing on this at all?”


    After pondering for a moment, he then asked and answered himself, “Could this be something like an ID card? But I’ve never heard of a sect or power called Antarctica either!”


    When he traveled around the country with his master years ago, Xiao Shun was quite familiar with the various forces in this country. Even some hidden sects, he had heard his master mention many of them, but he had never heard of the name Antarctica.


    Logically speaking, any power capable of possessing such a rare material as Dark Gold must be extremely formidable, and could not be so unknown.


    With this thought, an idea popped up in Xiao Shun’s mind, and he wondered, “Could it be an existence that even Master didn’t know about?”


    No, that’s absolutely impossible!


    Given his master’s temperament, it was impossible for him to not know about such a formidable existence.


    Countless questions surged in his mind, assaulting Xiao Shun’s brain over and over in this cold night.
