Has Guangchengzi's Fortuitous Opportunity Been Snatched Again?

When Guangchengzi saw the vines, his heart immediately ached.

A perfectly good fortuitous opportunity had been snatched away for no reason at all. How could Guangchengzi not be furious?

Then Guangchengzi and True Person Huanglong saw the line Li Xiao had carved into the mountain wall.

"Meet Yellow Dragon, suffer three years of decline!"

Guangchengzi's old face twitched violently as he turned to look at True Person Huanglong.

True Person Huanglong was beside himself with rage. His eyes reddened as he roared, "Bastard! Bastard! Which son of a bitch is framing this humble Taoist?"

As he spoke, True Person Huanglong furiously summoned an immortal sword and blasted the massive mountain before him into collapse.

Dust flew everywhere, and rocks scattered in all directions!

Guangchengzi sighed, his face dark as he turned and left.

A Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root like the Nine Heavens Jade Dew Fruit was something one could only encounter by chance. Having his fortuitous opportunity stolen, Guangchengzi was naturally in an utterly foul mood.

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, wait for this humble Taoist..."

True Person Huanglong hurriedly went after Guangchengzi.

After catching up to him, True Person Huanglong hastily explained, "Senior Brother Guangchengzi, don't believe those words. Some bastard is framing this humble Taoist. Senior Brother Guangchengzi, you..."

"Rest assured, Junior Brother Huanglong. How could this humble Taoist believe such nonsense? I simply do not know who stole my fortuitous opportunity. It is truly hateful and infuriating. If this humble Taoist finds out who it was and encounters him, I will make him pay the price!"

Guangchengzi said viciously.

"Yes, this humble Taoist will definitely help Senior Brother Guangchengzi seek justice!"

True Person Huanglong hurriedly said.

Guangchengzi nodded without saying anything and continued onward on his cloud.

Before long, Guangchengzi was suddenly struck by inspiration again. A smile appeared on his gloomy old face as he grinned. "Junior Brother Huanglong, this humble Taoist has sensed another fortuitous opportunity!"

True Person Huanglong's old face twitched violently. He cupped his hands toward Guangchengzi and said sourly, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Guangchengzi. Fortune and misfortune depend on one another. Senior Brother Guangchengzi lost an opportunity earlier, but gaining one now is your blessing!"

"Let's go. If we arrive too late, someone might steal the opportunity again."

Guangchengzi nodded.

The two immediately rode their clouds and sped ahead.

But midway through, Guangchengzi's expression changed drastically again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Not good. This humble Taoist can no longer sense that opportunity..."

"This..."

True Person Huanglong's old face twitched fiercely, and a vague sense of dread rose in his heart.

The two hurried onward on their clouds.

In the end, they arrived beside a great river.

The aura of a treasure lingered by the river, but Guangchengzi could no longer sense it no matter what he did. Clearly, the treasure had been taken away again.

And that was indeed the case. Li Xiao had just left this place after obtaining a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure from the river—the Heavy Water Bead.

Guangchengzi's expression was ugly beyond measure. He suddenly looked up and saw a stone stele inscribed with the words, "Meet Yellow Dragon, suffer three years of decline."

Guangchengzi's face instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot. He abruptly turned to look at True Person Huanglong.

True Person Huanglong panicked and hurriedly shouted, "Which son of a bitch is framing this humble Taoist like this? If this humble Taoist finds out who it is, I will never let you off..."

Guangchengzi's Fortuitous Opportunity Was Snatched Away Again, Again, and Again?

"Humph!"

Guangchengzi snorted coldly and reached into the river with one hand.

Splash...

With a loud crash, he forcibly dragged a fish demon ashore with his powerful magic.

"Spare me, Immortal! Spare me, Immortal..."

The fish demon was terrified and hurriedly knelt before Guangchengzi, kowtowing.

Guangchengzi's old face was livid as he looked at the fish demon and asked in a deep voice, "This humble Taoist asks you: did someone come here just now and take away a treasure?"

"Yes, Immortal!"

The fish demon did not dare conceal anything and hurriedly nodded.

Guangchengzi took a deep breath and continued, "What treasure was it?"

"I do not know exactly what kind of treasure it was, but I vaguely heard that person mention... some Heavy Water Bead..."

The fish demon hurriedly said.

When Guangchengzi heard this, he nearly fainted from rage. He cried out, "A Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heavy Water Bead?"

"I think so..."

The fish demon said with a grin.

Guangchengzi staggered upon hearing this and nearly fell to the ground. His lungs were about to explode from anger.

After all, across the entire prehistoric world, there were only thirty-six Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in four sets. In other words, there were only forty Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in total.

He had finally encountered one, only for someone else to get there first!

If it had been some ordinary treasure, Guangchengzi would not have been so angry. But the higher the treasure's grade, the angrier he became!

After all, a cooked duck had flown away—and it had been a big, fat duck. How could Guangchengzi not be furious? How could he not be enraged?

"This humble Taoist asks you, what did that person look like?"

True Person Huanglong hurriedly pressed.

The fish demon grinned and quickly cupped his hands. "In reply to the Immortal, divine light obscured that person's entire body. This little one... this little one could not see his face clearly..."

"You... useless thing!"

True Person Huanglong flew into a rage. With a sweep of his sleeve, he sent the fish demon tumbling back into the great river.

"Humph!"

Guangchengzi snorted heavily and rode his cloud swiftly onward, clearly intending to chase the person who had stolen his treasure.

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, wait for this humble Taoist..."

True Person Huanglong panicked and hurriedly went after Guangchengzi.

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, don't believe that person's nonsense. That person... that person is obviously framing this humble Taoist..."

True Person Huanglong hastily explained.

Guangchengzi nodded with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

Although Guangchengzi knew that someone was deliberately framing True Person Huanglong, the problem was that he still had a knot in his heart!

Once could be overlooked, but this was already the second time!

And the treasures he had lost were better each time. They were either Top-grade Innate Spirit Fruits or Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Guangchengzi could not help recalling those words.

The two chased wildly all the way.

But where was there anyone to be found?

Li Xiao had long since vanished without a trace!

Li Xiao had the Chaos Bead to conceal the secrets of heaven. Not only could Guangchengzi and True Person Huanglong not find him, if he wished to hide, even the Saints of All Heavens—or perhaps even Dao Ancestor Hongjun—would be unable to find his whereabouts.

Unable to find Li Xiao, Guangchengzi and True Person Huanglong could not help feeling disappointed.

The two then prepared to head to Mount Kunlun to listen to the Dao.

As they traveled, Guangchengzi was suddenly struck by inspiration again. His eyes lit up as he said delightedly, "This humble Taoist has sensed another treasure!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Guangchengzi!"

True Person Huanglong could not even describe how he felt.

Comparisons really did make people furious!

He had been traveling with Guangchengzi, yet he had not sensed so much as a hair, while Guangchengzi sensed one treasure after another.

Although someone else had gotten to the first two treasures first, that only proved that Guangchengzi's fortune was profound, far beyond anything True Person Huanglong could compare to.

This time, Guangchengzi turned to glance at True Person Huanglong.

Clearly, Guangchengzi was somewhat wary of someone snatching away the treasure again.

When True Person Huanglong saw Guangchengzi looking at him, his old face twitched violently, and he gave an awkward smile.

Guangchengzi immediately fled ahead at the fastest speed of his life.

True Person Huanglong hurriedly followed Guangchengzi.

But midway through, Guangchengzi's expression suddenly changed drastically. He cried out, "Damn it! Someone has stolen this humble Taoist's fortuitous opportunity again!"

As he spoke, Guangchengzi accelerated once more and shot forward.

True Person Huanglong's face turned ashen. A vague sense of dread rose in his heart as he hurried after Guangchengzi.

The two arrived at another valley. The vegetation within was exceptionally lush, verdant and thriving, with towering trees and abundant spiritual energy. An incomparably rich fragrance rushed toward them.

Some flower buds resembling lotuses lay on the ground, as though someone had deliberately left them there. They were extremely conspicuous.

And that was indeed the case. Li Xiao had deliberately left them behind to infuriate Guangchengzi.

"These... these are flowers from the Yellow Middle Plum, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots..."

Guangchengzi had once read a description of the Yellow Middle Plum in an ancient text. Its flowers looked just like the lotus-like blossoms on the ground. His blood rushed to his head in fury, and he nearly failed to draw another breath before fainting.

The Yellow Middle Plum!

That was the Yellow Middle Plum known as the king of all fruits!

It was far more precious than Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi's Ginseng Fruit and Queen Mother of the West's peaches!

The Ginseng Fruit bloomed once every three thousand years, bore fruit after another three thousand years, and required yet another three thousand years to mature. It produced thirty fruits at a time;

The peaches were roughly comparable to the Ginseng Fruit.
