Chapter 352: Golden Dragon Opens Its Eyes, National Prosperity
Everyone in the Divine Workshop looked at each other in confusion, not understanding the meaning behind Master Qins words.
Only Master Yuan, lost in thought, entered the smoky forge room.
His vision was obscured by thick smoke and he could not see anything clearly.
With a wave of the old patriarchs hand, a strong wind blew and black smoke poured out of the forge, allowing him to see everything inside.
The scene here could only be described as a mess, with cracks all over the walls and a deep pit in the floor.
Looking at the extremely hard refining furnace, only a few remnants could be seen.
Such power? Yuan Zhai murmured with surprise in his eyes.
In the hall, Lan Ningshuang quickly asked, Brother-in-law, are you okay?
Im fine, Im fine. Qin Feng continued to wave his hands and smile, unable to hide his excitement in his tone.
The invention of gunpowder was of immeasurable importance to the people of Great Qian.
And now that gunpowder had been successfully developed, wouldnt firearms follow?
Is the formula for gunpowder still there? Master Yuan Zhai asked as he walked out of the forging room.
The people in the Divine Workshop all noticed the old mans unusual tone; his voice seemed to be trembling!
Looking at the devastated forging room again, could this explosion be caused by the gunpowder?
Could it be that Master Qin had created an amazing treasure? Such thoughts arose in everyones minds.
Qin Feng nodded, and then took out a piece of white paper from his space ring.
Before each experiment, he would record the types and proportions of the gunpowder materials, just in case.
Yuan Zhai took the white paper and looked at it carefully. There seemed to be fire in his eyes.
Without saying a word, he took out a forging furnace from his spatial artifact and instructed someone to get the materials listed on the paper.
Then the old man waved his right hand, and all those materials fell precisely into the forging furnace.
After a short time, a strong chemical reaction occurred in the forging furnace, heat rose, and flames appeared.
Seeing this, Qin Fengs eyes widened and he shouted urgently, Get down quickly, its going to explode!
It was too late, but the others, thinking about the loud noise earlier and the devastated forge room, didnt dare to be careless and quickly followed suit.
As expected, there was no deafening noise, only the desolate sound of a cool breeze.
Could it be that the gunpowder production has failed? Qin Feng was somewhat curious, looked up, and then opened his mouth for a while without saying a word.
Of course, the old master was excellent; the gunpowder was not a failure, but rather a success.
The reason for the silence was that the old master was using his power to encase the explosive power of the gunpowder!
Inside the golden, semi-transparent orb, a dazzling fire blazed, and heat spread out in all directions.
Everyone could feel the power, and Yuan Zhai also stared blankly at the gunpowder inside the golden orb.
After a moment, the old master clenched his right hand, and the golden orb instantly condensed the power of the gunpowder to the size of a fingernail before disappearing into nothingness.
At the same time, in the Imperial Palace of Imperial City, in the Floating Dragon Hall.
A group of men and women dressed in white were sitting around a massive golden pillar.
On the pillar were nine golden dragons, each of them lifelike, some with their eyes closed, some with their mouths open and their claws extended.
This golden pillar was called the Coiling Dragon Pillar, also a precious tool that reflected the fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty.
The more open-eyed golden dragons, the more prosperous the fortunes of the Great Qian. According to historical records, at the peak of the Great Qians fortunes, there were at least eight open-eyed golden dragons with Emperor Tianxuan in power.
The immortal who built the Coiling Dragon Pillar once said that if one day all nine dragons opened their eyes and soared through the nine heavens, it would mean a new era for the Great Qian.
Unfortunately, after the death of Emperor Tianxuan, the fortunes of the Great Qian declined from generation to generation.
Now, with the enthronement of Emperor Ming, there were only four open-eyed golden dragons left.
This was not due to Emperor Mings incompetence; it was just that the accumulated shortcomings of the Great Qian Imperial Family were being exposed at this moment.
Suddenly, the Coiling Dragon Pillar shook.
Everyone in the hall was shocked. This situation will only manifest itself if there is a change in the national fortune of the Great Qian.
Could it be that the national fortune was about to drop again?
Surprisingly, this time it wasnt the Golden Dragon closing its eyes, but a dragon coiled at the bottom of the pillar opening its eyes!
The golden dragon has opened its eyes, and the nations fortune is flourishing! exclaimed the excited group.
They saw a golden dragon, with its fangs bared and its claws outstretched, rise up and fly directly over the four other golden dragons that were awake in front of it.
What surprised everyone the most was that even though the golden dragon circled to the top of the pillar, it did not stop. Instead, it let out a high-pitched dragon roar and then passed through the roof!
Roar!
The dragons roar is like thunder from the ninth heaven, deafening.
In the Imperial City, even people from the outside city could clearly see a huge golden dragon flying above the Imperial Palace!
In the Imperial Harem, the most favored Concubine Xin was still pouring tea for Emperor Ming, but she was startled by the sudden dragon roar, and her delicate body trembled.
The teacup fell and the steaming tea spilled all over the floor.
The dignified emperor seems to have sensed something and quickly rushes out of the palace and looks up.
He saw an amazing golden dragon hovering in the sky!
Emperor Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, Excellent! The golden dragon has opened its eyes, and the land is prospering. This is heavens blessing on me and the Great Qian!
Seeing this, the chief eunuch on the side hastily flattered, Surely, it is the Emperors wise leadership that has brought about this result. The Emperors merits will undoubtedly be recorded in history and passed down to future generations.
At this time, Concubine Xin also walked out with her skirt in her hand. She first praised and then expressed her own doubts, But, Your Majesty, according to the legend, only when the nine dragons open their eyes will the golden dragon on the coiled dragon column soar into the sky.
So why does only one golden dragon appear?
As soon as she finishes speaking, the golden dragon looks to the north of the Imperial City, swings its long tail, and raises its head.
Its posture clearly indicates that it intends to fly away!
The Chief Eunuchs face turned pale with shock when he saw this. If the golden dragon, which symbolizes the fate of the country, escapes, who knows what will happen?
Emperor Mings brow furrowed, and his hands, which were pressing on the railing, turned slightly white from too much force.
Fortunately, a white light swept over the top of the Heavenly Tower, acting as a barrier to block the Golden Dragon.
After several unsuccessful attempts to break through, the golden dragon could only roar at the Heavenly Tower in frustration. Then it turned its dragon head, reentered the Dragon Hall, and circled around the coiled dragon pillar.
The Chief Eunuch sighed in relief, but his back was soaked with sweat from the intense tension.
Emperor Ming looked pensive, flicked his wide sleeves, and walked toward the Floating Dragon Hall.
At the same time, he ordered, Send someone to find the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower and inquire about the reasons that caused the Golden Dragon to open its eyes.
Inside the Heavenly Tower, the National Teacher dressed in white lowered his right hand.
A stream of fresh energy returned and disappeared into his sleeves.
He looked in the direction of the Divine Workshop, shook his head, and said, This disciple really surprises me all the time.
Very good.
