On either side of the main hall, the left side was the residence hall where the child servants lived, and on the right was a large ox pen, in which a green ox lay with its head inside and its buttocks facing outside, snoring loudly as if in a pleasant dream, occasionally twitching its behind.
Outside the ox pen was a layer of blue prohibition that flickered from time to time, its purpose unknown.
When Qin Shou saw the green ox, he was truly startled—in "Journey to the West," this green ox had descended to the Lower Realm and fought the Monkey, who was completely helpless against it, as if it were all just play. This old ox was too fierce; Qin Shou instinctively kept his distance.
Going around to the back to the Alchemy Room, he pushed open the huge door and saw a bronze Pill Furnace situated right in the center atop the Taiji Eight Trigrams diagram. At this moment, the fire had been extinguished, giving it a somewhat desolate appearance.
