Chapter 54 Treasure Hunt



In her previous life, Hua Xiangyun used this trick to search for treasures in remote mountains and forests, and some of her windfall gains came from it.

She didn't pick and choose; whatever she encountered was destined to be hers.

In the first pile of wood, I found a few solid pieces of wood. They looked ordinary on the surface, but they contained a little secret.

Without the slightest hesitation, they threw everything into the space inside the cauldron.

The Nine Lotus Cauldron swayed within the spiritual platform, refusing to accept these useless things.

Hua Xiangyun snorted coldly, and the Nine Lotus Cauldron immediately fell silent. Hua Xiangyun was different from the Celestial Masters she had contracted before; the contract had been upgraded, and the bond was deeper. As long as her new master wished, she could completely control it.

It huddled in the corner, feeling wronged. In the past, every Celestial Master had treated it with extra care and love, but with Hua Xiangyun, it was suppressed at every turn, and it had no way to complain.

However, in the blink of an eye, a bunch of things were added to the Nine Lotus Cauldron, with broken jars and plates being put in one by one.

In particular, there was a wooden box that looked ordinary, but it was made of ebony and coated with a layer of lacquer.

However, such jewelry boxes are not practical for modern households, so even though they are small and exquisite and not much damaged, no one cares about them.

There were also a few broken wooden stakes at the very bottom, which she didn't know were originally the four legs of some table. If it weren't for her spiritual sense, she would have missed them in the end.

No one could have imagined that there was something else going on here. Although they were curious, they could only wait until they got back to check it out.

Hua Xiangyun also discovered several burial objects imbued with malevolent energy. She silently uttered a curse in her heart, wondering how many more graves would suffer the same fate.

The Nine Lotus Cauldron had a particular fondness for these things. Once inside the cauldron, they would be moved to another location, and when they returned to the space, they would become ordinary objects.

Hua Xiangyun noticed, but ignored it. She was going to play her part completely and was currently picking out some newspapers.

Even if she doesn't need to use these newspapers to wallpaper the walls, she can still learn more about the world.

Of course, she would also collect the entire set of textbooks if she came across them. She doesn't need them now, which is better than having them taken away and turned into pulp again.

Holding books and newspapers, I went to the door and had the old man who collects recyclables inspect them carefully and weigh them.

Li Yong dared not relax at this moment, fearing that something terrible might have been smuggled in. After a careful inspection, he found some textbooks and asked, "Don't schools usually provide these?"

Hua Xiangyun immediately pulled out a shield, "My brother went to the countryside, and besides doing farm work, he has no other entertainment, so he asked me to help him find some textbooks so he can review them and pass the time."

Li Yong: "That's not bad. Even after going to the countryside, he still thinks about making progress."

That'll only cost you two cents.

Li Yong was exceptionally lenient with children who loved learning; these earnings were at most a penny, and as long as he could collect a little more, it was enough to get by.

Hua Xiangyun expressed her gratitude before leaving with her belongings.

Once everyone was alone, these things reappeared inside the cauldron.

"..." Even the Nine Lotus Cauldron couldn't understand. Shouldn't it be taking in rare treasures instead of a pile of junk...?

Following the same method, Hua Xiangyun managed to visit several purchasing stations before dark and made a significant haul.

When Xun Liangfen returned, she didn't see the child and felt a little anxious.

But she didn't know where to look for it, and was afraid of taking the wrong path, so she could only wait at home.

Seeing her return, Xun Liangfen breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to criticize her too much. She smiled and said to her, "Are you tired from walking? Have some water first."

He pulled out a thermos from under the table; it contained hot water he had gotten from his neighbor.

Hua Xiangyun had been to several places and was really thirsty and hungry. In addition, she had overused her spiritual energy, so she didn't force herself to stay awake and went straight to bed.

"How many places have you been to? You look exhausted." Seeing her like this, Xun Liangfen felt a little sorry for her. "Go lie down on the bed, I'll go get you some food."

Hua Xiangyun waved her hand, "No, I'll go with you."

I was just curious about this Blue City, so I walked around a bit more. I just need to rest for a bit.

The cafeteria is quite a distance away, and by the time the food is brought back, it's already cold.

The house was cold and empty, but she still wanted something hot to eat.

Xun Liangfen sat on the edge of the bed. "Are you sure you'll be alright resting at home alone tonight?"

There was something unexpected happening to her colleague's family, and they couldn't find anyone to cover for her, so they had to ask her to fill in temporarily.

Fortunately, the other party was only responsible for some matters at the station. If they wanted to follow the sports car, she could only refuse.

Hua Xiangyun had no problem with it. With Xun Liangfen not at home, she actually had more freedom to act.

After finishing their meal and seeing off Xun Liangfen, who had been talking about it, Hua Xiangyun closed the door and began to inspect the day's spoils.

The difference between this city and the county town is truly enormous.

At the scrap yard in the county town, Hua Xiangyun only managed to find those two items.

But today's harvest is dozens of times greater than that, and even more valuable.

Finding the four wooden stakes, Hua Xiangyun applied only a light touch, and the originally solid stakes were chipped.

After a few more twists, the entire wooden stake violently split in the middle, scattering the small yellow croakers everywhere. I picked up a piece at random and weighed it in my hand; each one should weigh about 50 grams.

Hua Xiangyun almost whistled. Sure enough, these people hid things in the same way, and she even managed to find one that slipped through the net.

Instead of rushing to gather them together, they used the same method to violently dismantle all the wooden stakes, and each time they found something different.

She had a full 50 small yellow croakers, 100 small silver fish, plus a number of jewels and diamonds. With this haul alone, she could practically win without lifting a finger.

Hua Xiangyun casually tossed the items into the cauldron and then summoned out the burial objects that had been modified.

They were all utensils and the like, and now they no longer had any yin energy.

Hua Xiangyun knew nothing about these antiques, but she knew they were all antiques and would be very valuable in the coming decades.

However, since it is a burial object, its collectible value will likely be greatly reduced. But one can't just throw away something that has already been acquired; one can only wait for an opportunity to donate it in the future.

Touching the dark wooden box, she found the mottled paint a bit unsightly, but she didn't have any suitable tools at hand right now, so she could only take care of it slowly when she had time later.

These were all things that could only be looked at but not eaten. Hua Xiangyun touched her sunken belly and sighed silently.

The more she cultivated, the more energy she consumed. In order not to frighten the Hua family, she had been extra restrained in her eating these past few days.

Sigh, although I enjoy this family time, my belly is still more important.

Looking at the sky outside, I could only silently take out the pastries I had bought earlier and swallow them bite by bite under the moonlight.

Huajia, Heping County

Lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), Tian Guihua kept muttering, "Liangfen took the child out; I don't know if she can take good care of him."

“You’re just worrying too much,” Hua Guangzong turned his back to her, “That’s Xiao Guai’s own mother, how could she mistreat her?”
