As the amalgam died, the starry light particles in the hall dispersed. Su Xiao reached the innermost part of the hall, where a dark-silver door blocked the way. It looked as though it had been made of wax—soft and pliable at first glance, yet possessing an extraordinary toughness.
After observing it for a moment, Su Xiao found no way to open the door. He took out a thumb-thick sealed bottle, hesitated briefly, then hurled it against the dark-silver door.
A dense gnawing sound rang out. The reason he had hesitated was that the biological solution in this bottle was extremely valuable. Using alchemy potioncraft, it had been cultivated from a fungus with powerful corrosiveness and aggressiveness. However, it was an anaerobic fungus and could survive for only thirty to forty-five minutes in an oxygen-rich environment.
The alchemical fungus was initially only a fist-sized clump, but it soon covered the entire dark-silver door. After corroding it for several minutes, it pierced straight through.
This was a space spanning over a hundred square meters. As Su Xiao entered, the first thing he saw was a glass column three meters wide and five meters tall. A figure was immersed in its pale-green solution.
It was none other than the Gray Gentleman.
Su Xiao approached the glass column. Suddenly, the Gray Gentleman inside opened his eyes. However, there was no light in them. Those dim eyes showed that this was merely a soulless shell.
At the doorway, Su Xiao's crystalline right hand touched the alchemical fungus. The scarlet fungus spread over his crystalline palm, but he paid it no mind. Instead, he returned to the glass column and pressed his crystalline right hand against it. The alchemical fungus began to corrode the glass, piercing through into the solution inside.
