Chapter 72 Gilded Treasure Leaf and Jade Ruyi

Accompanied by a familiar croaking sound, the golden toad swallowed all the one hundred spirit stones into its stomach.

The next moment, its huge mouth shaped like a millstone opened, and a ball of golden light flew out and hung in the air.

The monks in the pavilion stared at this scene without blinking. After a while, the light faded away, and a palm-sized golden leaf slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

When the female foundation-building cultivator who was in charge of maintaining order saw this, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. She then looked towards Su Qingwu who was on the third floor of the attic and congratulated her with a smile.

"Congratulations to this young friend for obtaining the attributeless top-grade defensive spiritual weapon, the Gilded Leaf."

After she finished speaking, she snapped her fingers and a palm-sized golden leaf quickly flew towards the girl in black, and finally stopped steadily in front of her.

Upon learning that the treasure spit out by the golden toad was a top-grade spiritual weapon, the whole pavilion was suddenly filled with excitement.

According to the grade classification, spiritual weapons are suitable for building the foundation.

Due to the relatively high price, some cash-strapped foundation-building monks find it difficult to afford it, and the best quality ones are even more rare, with few peers owning them.

For a moment, many eyes fell on Su Qingwu.

There are those who simply admire; there are those who are jealous; and there are also those who look at you with malicious intent.

The last type is the majority.

Perhaps because her revealed cultivation level was only the fourth level of Qi Refining, some cultivators did not conceal their malicious intentions at all.

If it wasn't in the Jinyuan Pavilion, they would have probably robbed it on the spot.

Liu Qin, who was in charge of maintaining order, naturally noticed this. She glanced at those who showed greed on their faces, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, on the third floor of the attic, Su Qingwu had a calm expression. He ignored the malicious gazes from all around him, thanked the female nun who was standing quietly on the stone platform, and then waved his sleeves to put the gilded treasure leaf into his storage bag.

Liu Qin was a little surprised to see her reaction like this.

An ordinary cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining would not be able to remain so calm in such a situation. It seems that this woman probably has something to rely on.

Either he is hiding his skills, or he has a powerful trump card.

This is considered a good thing, but even if the other party has no one to rely on, she can ensure that nothing happens to him within the sphere of influence of Jin Yuan Pavilion.

After thinking it over, Liu Qin decided to tell him.

The next moment, her voice transmission rang in Su Qingwu's ears.

"After the Golden Toad has finished spitting out treasures, if you have nothing urgent to do, you can stay in the Jinyuan Pavilion for a while. This may ensure your own safety."

The foundation-building voice was transmitted, and the Qi-refining monks were unable to respond directly.

So after hearing this, Su Qingwu smiled and nodded slightly to the woman on the stone platform, indicating that he understood and agreed to the proposal.

The interaction between the two was not obvious. In addition, other cultivators were already feeding spirit stones to the golden toad, which attracted the attention of all cultivators, so no one noticed it.

On the stone platform, feeding is still going on.

However, just as the monks outside the pavilion discussed earlier, the probability of the golden toad spitting out treasures is shockingly low.

There was a man who was very generous. He fed the monster hundreds of times, but it didn't spit out a single treasure.

Just after he gave up, another person fed it, and after only four times, the golden toad spit out a top-grade magic weapon.

Seeing this scene, the unlucky monk clenched his fists and glared at the golden toad, obviously extremely angry.

If he hadn't been concerned about Jin Yuange, he would have definitely flown forward and beaten the beast violently...

After the golden toad spat out the second treasure, no one continued to feed it for a while.

Most monks have a subconscious belief that treasures will not be spit out continuously, and the next one to feed them will definitely end up empty-handed and will not gain anything.

On the third floor of the attic, Su Qingwu took advantage of the moment when no one was competing for it, stood up again, took out a hundred spirit stones, and put them into the golden toad's mouth.

The next moment, a familiar quacking sound was heard.

All the spiritual stones were swallowed by the golden toad. Then the spiritual beast opened its mouth and a ball of purple spiritual light flew out.

After a moment, the light dissipated, revealing a jade ruyi that was completely purple.

On the side, Liu Qin smiled and said:

"Congratulations, my friend, you have obtained another treasure. This jade ruyi is not a weapon for fighting. It has a special quality. If placed in the house where you live, it can calm your mind and spirit. It can also ward off evil spirits and reduce the chance of having inner demons during the cultivation process."

After she finished speaking, she flicked her fingers as before, bringing the treasure suspended in the air to the black-clad girl on the third floor of the attic.

Su Qingwu took it, thanked him again, and then sat down again.

Holding the jade ruyi in the hand, there was a slight chill, but not bone-chilling.

She played with it for a while and then put it in her storage bag.

At the same time, dozens of gazes that had been constantly watching withdrew.

On the stone platform, monks began to feed the golden toad one after another.

The second and third treasures just appeared one after another, breaking the original tacit rules. Therefore, at this time, the cultivators no longer waited in vain.

As time went on, more and more people participated in the feeding.

During this period, Su Qingwu sat quietly in his seat without any intention of participating.

This was something that was completely a matter of luck, and she didn't want to fight for anything.

What belongs to her will be obtained sooner or later; what does not belong to her will not be returned at all no matter how much she invests.

After about two incense sticks had passed, all the monks who entered the pavilion had participated in the feeding at least once.

The golden toad spit out treasures three times, including a low-grade magic weapon, a bottle of second-level healing medicine, and a broken piece of magic weapon.

When the last object appeared, Su Qingwu glanced at it and heard Su Wen's thoughts in his ears at the right time.

"This fragment has lost a lot of spiritual power. It should be the shattered magic weapon of a Jindan cultivator who was defeated in a battle. It is no longer of much use and can only be used as a material for refining equipment."

Hearing this, Su Qingwu became a little curious.

"How do you judge?"

"It's probably a unique perception of ghost cultivators. There's not a trace of aura left in the fragments. And judging by the traces on the broken surface, this magic weapon was destroyed not long ago. If the original owner of the treasure is still alive, the aura can't have disappeared completely."

“That’s right.”

"Well, there is actually another way to judge. If the original owner of a Jindan cultivator's magic weapon is not dead, how dare Jinyuan Pavilion sell it to the outside world? Although this sales method is a little different, the essence has not changed."

"Su Wen, you said... Could it be that this magic weapon fragment came from one of the enemy's golden elixirs in the battle of Luoyunjian in the past?"

"Well, it is indeed possible. After all, there are very few golden elixirs in this world. This level of battle is rare, and the time when the magic weapon was destroyed is also very close."

After receiving this answer, Su Qingwu said nothing more.

She asked this question out of curiosity only, and had no intention of delving further into the matter.

At this moment, there were still many monks feeding the golden toad in the pavilion, so she continued to watch.

The most eye-catching one among them was a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage. Each time he fed the cultivators, he would start with one thousand spirit stones, and he did this eighty times in a row.

Finally, the golden toad spat out nine treasures to this person, including elixirs, spiritual weapons, talismans, and refining materials.

Many cultivators were shocked, but because the opponent's cultivation was higher, no one dared to have any bad ideas.

As time went on, the number of monks feeding the golden toad gradually decreased, until no one stood up.

On the stone platform, Liuqin opened her mouth at the right time:

"The golden toad can still spit out another treasure. Fellow Taoists can continue to try."
