Chapter 26 Getting Rich Overnight
Lishan
Chang Hao was dumbfounded. What about his huge palace? You must know that the palace that Yuanshi refined was a seven-courtyard palace with an outer hall and an inner hall.
Not to mention the palace, even the huge rock has disappeared without a trace.
After searching the surroundings, there were no signs of forced entry. After a moment's thought, it became clear that only Yuanshi could come and go freely, so it must have been Yuanshi who came to take it away.
Chang Hao was speechless. Could Yuan Shi have thought he was dead? He was already collecting his inheritance so quickly. He was fast.
It was just a palace, so Chang Hao didn't take it seriously. He took out the one he had crafted himself, refined it a bit more, and placed it on the previously repaired open space.
They slightly adjusted the angle, casually picked a name, hung up the "Zixu Palace" plaque, and that was it.
After planting the green plum trees that had been transplanted earlier, Chang Hao later discovered several shrubs on Lishan Mountain that resembled tea trees. He gently pinched off a leaf and smelled it; a delicate fragrance slowly wafted out, refreshing the mind and body. Even though they weren't tea trees, Chang Hao treated them as such. After cleaning the leaves, he cleared a plot of land on the back mountain and transplanted them there.
Chang Hao used the materials on the spot to make several jade boxes. This batch of tea leaves only needed one magic incantation to dry. Even if the method was rough, he believed that the brewed tea would be quite good.
A sea of green plum blossoms, stone tables and chairs, pavilions and small towers.
Several more jade paths were opened up, and two welcoming pine trees were planted at the end of each path. The green plum blossoms and jade palace were tranquil and serene. Although they were a little cold, they were just right for Chang Hao.
With the outdoor area fully prepared, Chang Hao turned to the interior and began by setting up his Jingxinzhai (Quiet Meditation Studio).
Green curtains hung low, cushions were worn, and tables and desks were set out.
A study should be bright and quiet. Try sitting quietly and meditating. You will feel that worldly affairs are fleeting and time is just passing by. You should not worry about them and keep your mind open.
Chang Hao was generally satisfied, and the rest room was even simpler; he only needed to replicate his favorite layout almost exactly.
Lying on a cloud-shaped couch, with a jade screen and incense burner, and curtains hanging low, it's the perfect time for a good sleep.
Lying on the cloud couch, Chang Hao was still thinking about the fabric and wooden products he could come into contact with in later generations. Although the cloud couch was comfortable, he found it hard to get used to.
Even a blade of grass in the primordial wilderness could have the opportunity to transform into human form in the future, and a cloud could also take form and attain enlightenment.
Chang Hao dared not imagine that just as he relaxed, the clouds beneath him suddenly changed shape; the thought alone made his vision go black.
There are mulberry trees on the mountain, so there must be silkworms. If we encounter silkworms that have transformed into human form in the future, we may be able to exchange some silk with them.
Sitting upright on the cloud couch, Chang Hao took out the World-Destroying Black Lotus and the God-Slaying Spear that he had taken from Luo Hou. The World-Destroying Black Lotus and the God-Slaying Spear exuded a sinister aura, which was why Chang Hao dared to take them out and examine them closely on his own territory.
Worried that Rahu might have ulterior motives, Chang Hao slowly dispelled the aura left by Rahu on the black lotus. After eighty-one years, the black lotus no longer emitted any evil energy, but instead emitted a faint, dark light. Only then did Chang Hao stop.
The same method was used to create the God-Slaying Spear, but unfortunately, the God-Slaying Spear's connection with Rahu was closer than that of the Black Lotus, so it didn't have much effect.
Chang Hao glared at the God-Slaying Spear with displeasure. "Since that's the case, if we can't destroy you, we can only seal you away."
Unaware that far away in the Phoenix Clan's ancestral land, Luo Hou, who had disguised himself and was stirring up trouble and creating chaos in the Phoenix Clan, was furious again, if Chang Hao were here, Luo Hou would want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, swallowing him whole, bones and all, and turning it into cultivation.
The God-Slaying Spear is Luo Hou's natal magic weapon. As long as he is here, the God-Slaying Spear is here; if he dies, the God-Slaying Spear is damaged. How could he allow Chang Hao, a mere brat, to handle it at will?
No, he had to find a way to trick Chang Hao into giving him the God-Slaying Spear...
Chang Hao temporarily set the God-Slaying Spear aside and picked up the black lotus that emitted a faint glow; it was small, exquisite, dark, and adorable.
He tried to establish a connection with the Black Lotus, and to his surprise, it went very smoothly. Although the Black Lotus was unconscious, it clung to Chang Hao's Purple Mansion as if it were a tether.
Chang Hao felt a momentary jolt of fear, but fortunately, he managed to summon the Black Lotus back to life without any problems.
"Huh, what's inside?" Chang Hao discovered that the black lotus contained a hidden world, seemingly holding many items.
Thinking of Hongjun's collecting obsession, Luo Hou was probably no less so. With the thought of getting rich, Chang Hao cleared out the black lotus. Instantly, the room was filled with 'jewels and treasures', with spiritual treasures scattered all over the floor, exuding a decadent atmosphere.
Chang Hao's eyes lit up, and he took three steps at a time. Luo Hou probably wouldn't even look at the pile of magical treasures on the ground, but it didn't matter, he would.
He was so poor that all he had was a sword, a flag, a flute, a set of clothes imbued with merit, and a few changes of Taoist robes; he could be considered practically penniless.
"Dragon Balls..." Chang Hao's hand trembled. These balls were rolling everywhere on the ground. Had Rahu wiped out the dragon race?
While pondering to himself, Chang Hao immediately took out materials and refined a batch of jade boxes for future use.
Chang Hao carefully placed the numerous dragon balls into the jade box, saying, "Enough to string several beaded curtains..."
Chang Hao initially had the mind to count the number of Dragon Balls, but later lost interest and disliked Rahu even more, thinking that such a bloodthirsty person should be destroyed.
Unfortunately, his cultivation level was not strong enough. If Hongjun had taken action, it might have been possible.
“This is…” Chang Hao noticed with his sharp eyes that one of the dragon balls that had automatically returned to the box with a spell was not right.
Chang Hao held the bead, which glowed with a faint blue light, in his palm and examined it closely. "At first glance, it looks like a water spirit bead, but upon closer inspection, it is much more profound. It seems to have a shimmering light and a primordial aura."
In a moment of inspiration, a name surfaced in Chang Hao's mind: "Hongmeng Pearl".
The Primordial Pearl, like a pearl covered in dust, slowly revealed its brilliance in Chang Hao's hands, eventually becoming a pearl shrouded in mist, more like a Water Spirit Pearl.
This Primordial Pearl, disguised as a Water Spirit Pearl, automatically recognized its owner and darted into Chang Hao's Purple Mansion, finding a spot where it remained motionless.
At the same time, Chang Hao also learned about the function of the Hongmeng Pearl. The peak Quasi-Saint could actually create a world on the Hongmeng Pearl and prove the Dao with force. Isn't this imitating the creation of the world?
It's just that its scale can't compare to Pangu's, and even if it succeeds, its power and realm are not as great as Pangu's.
Chang Hao looked inward and found that the Hongmeng Pearl was behaving itself, so he let it be.
Next, Chang Hao gathered the scattered phoenix feathers, separated the phoenix tail feathers from the ordinary phoenix feathers, and then separated the downy feathers from the ordinary feathers.
The phoenix feathers and dragon pearls placed before Chang Hao demonstrated Luo Hou's ruthlessness, making him regret letting Luo Hou escape.
It's heartbreaking that despite accumulating so much merit, his final cultivation level only remained at the peak of the Great Luo realm.
Besides the two items that reveal Rahu's nature, there are also a few Qilin horns, twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, one Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, one Plain Cloud Banner, and the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner that Chang Hao already had, making three of the Five Elements Banners.
Silk ribbons, parasols, necklaces, a nine-dragon sandalwood palanquin, a nine-sun-lit palanquin... these can all be used as travel attire, exuding grandeur.
Other items include the Yin-Yang duality lamp, the Three Lives Stone, the Dragon and Phoenix Qin (a type of zither), and the Sun and Moon Divine Mirror...
There were a total of forty or fifty items. Chang Hao no longer felt bad about his merits, especially since Heaven later compensated him for some of them. In the end, his loss was not significant, and Luo Hou was so wealthy that he didn't lose out.
