Chapter 24: Five Manifest Wealth Gods

After the Five Filth God died.

A strange fragrance immediately filled the room.

The scent seemed to have a pain-relieving effect. Although their injuries hadn't healed, they felt no pain at all. Their bodies felt light and relaxed, like breaking free from restraints and regaining freedom.

Everything around them became hazy.

In a daze, three god statues rose from the ground.

Among these three, Wu Xian had seen one before: the Heavenly Official, the Blessed Land Owner God, dressed in a bright red robe.

The other two were somewhat unfamiliar.

Even with a combination effect, it depended on compatibility.

Shi Ji received a silver poison talisman from the Blessed Land Owner and immediately applied it to the Boy's Urine An Gang.

It could be said that if not for the Boy's Urine An Gang, Wu Xian and Shi Ji would have died silently at the hands of the Five Filth God, even with many other items.

He split the longevity peach in half, giving one to Shi Ji, and swallowed his half whole.

"Is that it?"

Wu Xian inserted the incense into the censer and then saw:

Human Wolf Claw: One hand transforms into a human wolf's claw, capable of striking iron, shattering stone, and tearing flesh.

The surrounding environment began to return to reality.

Fortunately, this change could be covered by clothes. If it were hair or something similar, anyone could tell he was different.

But what was the effect of the divine ability?

Wu Xian, full of anticipation, inserted the Suixiang into the censer.

Then Wu Xian turned his gaze to the Five Manifest Wealth Gods, whose entire bodies were golden except for the base. This one looked so prosperous and was in charge of money; he should give him a surprise.

This was the Heavenly Official - Five Manifest Wealth Gods.

All the accumulated pain was only released now.

Wu Xian really wanted to keep it all for himself.

His mouth was basically ruined, half his lips were gone, and his gums were almost completely worn away.

Wu Xian put away the spirit money. Shi Ji had also completed his worship of the god.

Wu Xian was stunned, then immediately understood.

Probability was too uncontrollable. It would fail when needed, and the result would be fatal.

Whoosh!

After the incense stick was inserted into the censer, it began to bleed, gurgling. The blood overflowed the censer and gathered on the table, forming three items: a sharp claw, a red feather, and an eye.

Rumble, rumble...

The blessing of "One Transforms into Three" did not take effect, likely because this god statue had nothing to choose from. He placed his hand on the spirit money and read its information.

Then Wu Xian tried to throw a punch in the air. A wisp of fire erupted from his fist, but at the same time, Wu Xian felt a coolness on his chest. Several of those bright yellow feathers were clearly missing.

But the problem lay in the probability.

Although the Golden Crow Feather only added fire, at least he could use it whenever he wanted, and it might even trigger a chain reaction with the remaining True Fire Incantation.

The pedestals of the god statues Wu Xian had encountered before were reddish-brown or grayish-brown, but these three god statues gleamed with silver light, clearly one level higher than the previous ones.

This was the first Earth Official statue he had encountered. Heavenly Official statues gave talismans, Water Official statues gave magical artifacts. Based on the titles on the ordination certificate pages, these should be divine abilities.

Spirit Money: Issued by the Heaven and Earth Bank, can be used to bribe ghosts, can be taken out of the Blessed Land, and can be used for transactions.

When Wu Xian placed his hands on them one by one, information appeared.

The Earth Official's gift should be direct self-enhancement. The rewards obtained from worshipping the Demon God Zhuyin were all enhancements related to demonic beasts.

"So that's how it is..."

The longevity peaches used by ordinary families for birthdays were usually made of dough, but Wu Xian's longevity peach was a fresh peach. It was sweet and delicious, and the fragrant juice melted in his mouth.

When fighting the Five Filth God, they were in a crisis, and their adrenaline surged, so they didn't feel the pain. After fighting the evil spirit, the appearance of the god statues suppressed the pain.

The efficacy of the longevity peach turned into a warm current, and Wu Xian's body began to repair itself automatically. Wounds on his skin, mouth, and other areas improved, and his body recovered to its peak state at a visible speed.

In addition, these three god statues had some differences.

Golden Crow Feather: Replaces some hair with Golden Crow feathers, allowing any form of attack to be imbued with fire.

A pile of colorful paper money was sprayed from the Wealth God's mouth, falling onto the table. The Five Manifest Wealth Gods lost their luster.

One was entirely golden, plump, with a smiling face. Although he looked very kind, the metallic sheen gave him a strange, non-human feeling.

Wu Xian stood before the statue of the Demon God Zhuyin.

Shi Ji clutched his mouth and let out a scream.

In front of each god statue, incense sticks were already placed. They could directly worship the god and receive rewards.

Intestines, lungs, and mouths and noses that appeared everywhere, and the surroundings once again presented a hellish scene.

This spirit money was definitely a good thing, but he still felt like he had lost out. He needed something that would let him survive this blessed land, not just future profits.

Wu Xian's lips trembled with pain as he shakily took out a longevity peach from his pocket. This longevity peach was obtained from Mr. Wang's house, and the description said it had healing effects.

It seemed that the so-called additional fire wasn't without cost. This thing had to be used sparingly.

With the help of this golden crow feather, Wu Xian understood something else.

Among these three items, Wu Xian didn't consider the human wolf claw at all. The remaining two seemed to have stronger effects: the peng's eye, which had a chance to see through illusions and awe mortals.

So Wu Xian pondered for a moment and placed his hand into the bloody water in the middle.

"I lost, I lost."

Wu Xian's expression changed drastically.

Another statue depicted a human head with a snake's body, covered in red hair and densely packed eyes. These eyes slowly rotated, as if observing and scrutinizing Wu Xian and the other person, making the viewer's scalp tingle.

Wu Xian scratched his curly hair, looking a little troubled.

If this continued, they wouldn't need other evil spirits to kill them; Shi Ji would die here, and Wu Xian wouldn't be in any condition to deal with the next evil spirit.

Both of their worships of the gods had ended.

Wu Xian hadn't yet experienced the effects of these two god statues, and now was a good time to see something novel.

But Shi Ji had also contributed to defeating the Five Filth God, so after much thought, Wu Xian gave the blessed land owner position to Shi Ji, and chose the Five Manifest Wealth Gods and the Demon God Zhuyin for himself.

This was the Earth Official - Demon God Zhuyin.

After reading the descriptions of these three items, Wu Xian suddenly understood.

"Didn't it say it would replace body hair? I didn't have chest hair to begin with!"

Five Manifests bestow wealth 150, Yin virtue transforms into wealth 60, for a total of 210 spirit money.

Wu Xian also felt uncomfortable all over, his nose, mouth, and skin hurting terribly.

The gains from worshipping gods in a blessed land generally couldn't grant one strength superior to evil spirits, unless through special combinations to achieve an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

"Ah!"

Furthermore, the names of the other two items were accompanied by a faint silver light, indicating that their grade was higher than the wolf demon's claw.

Peng's Eye: Transforms one eye into a roc's eye, enhancing vision, with a chance to see through illusions and awe mortals.

This precious saber had become somewhat dim after killing two evil spirits, with corrosive spots appearing on it. But when the effect of the poison talisman was applied, those spots disappeared. A touch of dark green was added to this precious saber that exuded ill fortune.

This bloody water seemed to possess life as it drilled into Wu Xian's body. Soon, Wu Xian felt an itch on his chest. He pulled open his clothes and found a cluster of bright yellow feathers growing on his chest.

Shi Ji had clearly seen this thing before and gratefully accepted the longevity peach with a face full of gratitude.

The effect of the longevity peach was even more apparent on him. Even his shattered mouth was restored to a human appearance. Although it wasn't completely healed, it at least wouldn't hinder his actions anymore.
