Chapter 498: Taotie Treasure House (for "Lu Chen Lu Chen who likes diamond wood")
The feeling of being buried in the monster's belly was not what Ye Xiaoman had expected. She thought her flesh and blood body would be directly wrapped by the gastric juice, but she did not expect that she would fall into a room shining with golden light and dive headfirst into a pile of gold and treasures.
Ye Xiaoman poked her head out from a pile of gold bars, shook her head, and a few jade rings fell out of her hair. She opened her mouth and before she could cry, she immediately burst into laughter.
He grabbed the gold bar and put it in his mouth for the first time.
There's nothing tragic about dying with so much wealth.
She stood up with a pile of jewelry in her arms and looked around.
The internal structure of the demon beast's body truly defies common sense. Besides its heart, lungs, and stomach, it also has a space dedicated to storage.
Taotie is greedy. Even though he has been imprisoned in the depths of a small ghost prison by Zhu Chuideng for thousands of years, he has found ways to plunder wealth.
When there are sacrifices on the Black Island, they eat the bodies and souls of the monks, leaving behind the valuables on them.
In his spare time, he would dive into the depths of the blood sea to salvage. Throughout history, there had been countless great cultivators and ghost lords and kings fighting in the blood sea, and it was inevitable that some property would be lost.
A little here and a pinch there, it would be best if it could accumulate a fortune comparable to that of a powerful god.
All cultivators know that once a cultivator reaches the God Transformation Stage, he will become extremely wealthy.
If an ordinary sect accidentally opens the treasure house of a fallen cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, they will set off firecrackers for three days to celebrate. The resources cannot be spent in this lifetime, and they will never be spent at all.
The storage room was illuminated by fist-sized luminous pearls, which cast a brilliant light on the walls, almost blinding Ye Xiaoman's eyes.
The treasures piled up into a small mountain, and golden treasure chests were buried among the gold and silver treasures. Opening a treasure chest at random would reveal a collection of martial arts secrets, elixirs and magic weapons.
The scene was originally quite lively, with many people in colorful clothes running around. Frightened by the noise of Ye Xiaoman falling, those people hugged their heads, crawled on the ground, and turned into spiritual herbs.
There is no spiritual herb that cannot transform for thousands of years, and the spiritual herb that can transform is priceless.
Ye Xiaoman suddenly developed a possessiveness towards the Taotie Beast's wealth. She felt that these things were born to be hers.
She also found the golden furnace that the Taotie beast had just swallowed.
It is located in the most conspicuous corner of the storage room, supported by a gorgeous lotus-shaped base. Its dazzling brilliance is so great that even gold and jewelry are inferior to it.
Although I don’t understand its specific uses, I can tell it’s a good thing just by looking at it.
Ye Xiaoman tiptoed over and stretched out her arm to take down the incense burner.
Her hand was still some distance away from the incense burner when suddenly the crowing of a golden rooster pierced her mind, shaking her unconscious. Then a powerful force slammed her to the ground.
"No." The majestic voice made Ye Xiaoman's eardrums buzz.
Ye Xiaoman prostrated herself on the ground, looking up.
The incense burner is surrounded by the twisted branches of a peach tree, fitting so tightly that even a finger cannot be inserted. On the top of the peach tree stands a majestic rooster with golden feathers.
Two majestic and powerful generals, dressed in colorful armor, pointed their golden spears at her vital points.
Ye Xiaoman knew at a glance that this was the Door God Grass.
A magical herb that can prevent theft, very precious.
There are two door gods worshipped by the people, one is Yulei and the other is Shentu. Mortals paint the images of gods on the door to ward off evil spirits and prevent thieves.
Door-god grass is used by the immortals to deter theft. It's said to have imbued the Door-god's divine energy, granting them the ability to transform into the Door-god's form. The treasures guarded by Door-god grass are naturally cursed. Even if stolen, the thief will suffer misfortune. However long after the theft, the treasure will eventually return to its owner.
Due to its outstanding efficacy, Menshen Grass is hard to come by in the world of immortal cultivation. Only large sects and powerful families can afford it. The Qingzheng Sect has one, which is specially used to protect the sect leader's weapon list - Ye Xiaoman summoned the nameless weapon scroll.
As soon as Ye Xiaoman saw the Door God Grass, she knew that with her current level of cultivation, she could not get the furnace.
The big face of the Taotie beast protruded on the wall. When it saw Ye Xiaoman falling into its stomach, it did not cry for help, but instead coveted its treasure house.
It silently warned: "If you dare to steal from me again, I'll chop off your hands!"
After saying that, it opened its huge mouth and sucked the incense burner away.
Ye Xiaoman was tied up by the Taotie beast with a binding rope and thrown into a corner.
Ye Xiaoman could only watch the treasure in front of her.
In the real world, the Taotie beast locked Ye Xiaoman in its stomach and carried out its next plan.
It opened its bloody mouth again, its throat gurgling, and this time it spit out two coffins.
It opened the coffin lid, and inside lay Zhu Chuideng and Jing Zhui. They were sleeping with their eyes closed, immersed in the beautiful dream that the Taotie beast had tailored for them.
Ye Xiaoman's previous question was answered.
It turned out that after the Taotie beast abducted the three people, it swallowed them and locked them in different spaces inside its body.
It first dealt with the weakest Ye Xiaoman, but failed, so it turned back to deal with the two stronger ones.
The Taotie beast circled excitedly beside the coffins of Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng. If the news of having captured the Ghost Lord and the Demon God in one breath got out, it would become famous among all the monsters, not only in the Tao family.
It was able to succeed only because Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng fought to a draw, and at the moment when Zhu Chuideng relaxed, it took advantage of that one moment of opportunity. For thousands of years, among thousands of people, no one had the good luck it had.
The Taotie beast did not indulge in its pride for too long. It knew very well that its ability was not enough to kill the Demon God and the Ghost Lord. They would soon wake up from their slumber, and by then, it would have no chance of survival.
It can only win by some cunning means before they wake up...
The Taotie beast once again took out its gilded three-legged incense burner with two handles.
This incense burner is actually transformed from its demon pill.
After the monster becomes intelligent, it can choose a talent to major in, and choose one of the three: lifespan, martial arts, and wisdom. The Taotie monster chose wisdom, and referring to the settings of the ghost world's rules, it used its intelligence to refine its monster pill into a magic weapon of rules.
One for one, a hundred requests and a hundred answers. Combined with its illusion, it is invincible.
It used its own power to refine treasures in order to deal with Zhu Chuideng and gain freedom from his hands.
It stared at Zhu Chuideng's sleeping face with resentment. After being imprisoned and enslaved for thousands of years, its chance had finally come.
The Taotie beast condensed its luck into a stick of incense, inserted it into the incense burner, and after the incense head was lit, the island where it, Jing Zhui and Zhu Chuideng were located was shrouded in an ominous fragrance.
Either you die or I die!
…
Chepan Village.
The rice is ripe, and the wind blows the wheat ears dancing like a golden ocean, bringing the joy of a good harvest.
The young man was waiting in the house with the lights on.
He should have been a calm person, but now he was like a restless young boy, and he couldn't wait to run to the village entrance to wait for someone.
