We've Struck It Rich

When the silver Gu worm of the Divine Camel Daoist exploded, Zhou Hao, millions of miles away, suddenly sensed it in his soul.

"It really is Two Feelings Gu."

Zhou Hao frowned slightly, collected the storage treasures of Yu Zichi, Ren Jiu True Person, and Shang Youde from the ground, and with a thought, summoned the Golden-Scaled Boat hidden underground, then disappeared into the underground cave.

... Inside the Golden-Scaled Boat.

Xia Jie and Uncle Mo Er were very anxious.

Although they were hiding in the golden scale boat and underground, there had just been a battle and the violent fluctuations of heaven and earth's vitality made them feel frightened even underground.

Seeing Zhou Hao now puts my mind at ease.

"Brother Zhou Hao, what happened?"

"Young Master Zhou, has the Earth Fire Vein been successfully harvested?"

The two asked at the same time.

"The Earth Fire seed extraction was successful, and we also had a brief battle with Shang Youde and his group..." Zhou Hao briefly recounted what had just happened while maneuvering the Golden-Scaled Boat to leave the underground.

"That old scoundrel Shang Youde is dead?" Xia Jie trembled with excitement.

"These are items from Shang Youde's storage magic treasure. His Storage Bracelet is a human-grade storage magic treasure, which you cannot refine. I've put them all in this ring."

Zhou Hao took out a black ring and handed it to Xia Jie: "There should be quite a few things here that belong to your Xia Clan clan. You can keep them."

Xia Jie was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand. "Brother Zhou Hao, you killed Shang Youde, so his belongings are naturally yours."

"Just take it. I have something I need you to do. Consider this your payment." Zhou Hao stuffed the ring into Xia Jie's hand.

He had already explored the contents of Shang Youde's storage magic treasure with his divine sense.

Although he possessed some Human-Rank Magical Treasure and other miscellaneous items, Zhou Hao already had storage magic treasures belonging to two Myriad Phenomena True Person, Yu Zichi and Ren Jiu, so he naturally looked down on Shang Youde's meager wealth.

"Brother Zhou Hao has avenged this great grudge for my Xia Clan. Just give the order, and I'll take your life if you want," Xia Jie said excitedly.

"The young man who appeared with Shang Youde earlier has an astonishing background; he is a descendant of Primordial Spirit Daoist. Now that I am afflicted with Two Feelings Gu, that Primordial Spirit Daoist will soon arrive here."

Zhou Hao spoke very quickly, then took out another jade slip and handed it to Xia Jie, instructing, "I will escort you out of the Twin Horse Island waters shortly. You should return to Jade Dragon City as soon as possible and give this jade slip to City Lord True Person Muxuan. If True Person Muxuan is not here, you can give it to one of the two lieutenants."

That jade slip was his warning to Jade Dragon City. It detailed the events of the day and reminded True Person Muxuan to seek help from the Jade Dragon Sect as soon as possible to prevent the Divine Camel Daoist or the Fire Worship Sect from sending more experts.

Zhou Hao believed that anyone, whether it was True Person Muxuan, Ji Kang, or Ren Baili, would react immediately to a threat from a Primordial Spirit Daoist.

"It's that simple?"

Xia Jie was somewhat puzzled.

"It's that simple." Zhou Hao nodded.

Although the Two Feelings Gu can sense the location of the person afflicted no matter how far apart they are, there were only three people in the underground cave, including Shang Youde, and they all died at Zhou Hao's hands.

The only one who knows that Zhou Hao was the killer is the Red-Clawed Golden Crow, but it has just regained its freedom and probably wouldn't be foolish enough to go back to the Divine Camel Daoist.

Therefore, even if the Divine Camel Daoist arrives, he will not be able to determine for the time being who killed Yu Zichi.

He only sent Xia Jie to warn Jade Dragon City as a precaution.

As for the Iron Ox Tribe members, Zhou Hao had also given instructions in the jade slip, and True Person Muxuan and the others would naturally make proper arrangements.

The Golden-Scaled Boat traveled nearly a thousand miles underground before Zhou Hao found a deserted island to drop the two off.

Uncle Mo Er summoned his demonic beast, the White Whale, and the two rode the whale into the sea towards Jade Dragon City.

Zhou Hao immediately changed direction and flew towards the depths of the East Sea.

... inside the Golden-Scaled Boat.

"As expected, those with deep connections and substantial wealth really do have it!"

Zhou Hao sat cross-legged on the deck, with a large number of items piled up in front of him.

Besides the three top-grade Earth-rank fiery red flying swords, there were over a thousand catties of Origin Liquid alone, stored in a copper pot that resembled a wine vessel.

In addition, there was a stack of black signs of different sizes.

Zhou Hao picked up a piece at random and saw that the black sign had the words "Tianbao Mountain of the Great Xia Dynasty" and "Can be exchanged for 1,000 taels of Yuan Liquid".

Other black signs were labeled according to size, either saying "can be mixed with 100 Origin Liquid" or "can be mixed with 10 Origin Liquid".

"This is the Yuan-level token issued by Tianbao Mountain of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Although this was Zhou Hao's first time seeing it, he had read the original work in his previous life and naturally knew that this was the Yuan brand.

Anyone who carries a Yuan token can go directly to any Tianbao Mountain to exchange for the corresponding amount of Origin Liquid.

As for Tianbao Mountain, according to the original work, it is backed by the Great Xia Dynasty, and contains countless treasures, trades in spirit beasts, slaves... in short, it has everything.

Moreover, Tianbao Mountain has all the pleasures that cultivators can imagine, making it a veritable treasure trove for immortals.

On the endless land, every county town of a feudal lord has Tianbao Mountain.

The Yuan tokens they issued were equivalent to ancient silver notes on Earth in the Xia Clan Great World.

Many cultivators trade with each other, and if they don't have suitable magic weapons, they will use Yuan tokens directly as currency.

These Yuan tokens were merely low-ranking magic treasures; Zhou Hao swept them with his divine sense and directly refined all of them.

"1,126 catties of Origin Liquid, 1,780 taels of Yuan Tokens, plus the 1,000 catties of Origin Liquid given by my grandmaster Daoist Yuanyuan, and the Yuan Liquid I got from Tong You... Haha, I won't have to worry about Origin Liquid from the Purple Mansion to the Myriad Phenomena Realm."

Zhou Hao happily stored the Origin Liquid and Yuan Token into his Mustard Stone Space.

He was lucky.

Yu Zichi just broken through from the Purple Mansion to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and he needed to absorb and devour a large amount of Origin Liquid, which is why he carried so much Origin Liquid with him.

Otherwise, a normal Myriad Phenomena True Person would carry ten or eight catties of Origin Liquid with them to quickly restore their Origin Power during battles. Any excess Origin Liquid would have been exchanged for magical treasures to enhance their combat power.

"This can't be refined; it's a Earth-Grade Dharma Treasure. Let's put it away for now."

"This can be refined; it's a Human-Rank Magical Treasure of decent quality. Let's keep it."

Zhou Hao attempted to refine each magical artifact, then put them away.

Finally, a total of thirteen Earth-Grade Dharma Treasure and twenty-six Human-Rank Magical Treasure were obtained from the storage treasures of Yu Zichi and Ren Jiu True Person.

Not only magic treasures, but Zhou Hao also found a hundred sets of crimson Dao armor in Ren Jiu True Person's storage magic treasures. Each set was no less than the Green Jade Dragon Armor worn by their Jade Dragon Army. They were obviously Dao Soldier Armor could enable Xiantian Lifeform to form magic arrays.

Each piece of this level of Dao Soldier Armor is comparable to an ordinary Human-Rank Magical Treasure, and the more you have, the higher the value. A hundred sets of Dao Soldier Armor would be a considerable fortune.

"Um?"

At this moment, a jade box caught Zhou Hao's attention. Upon opening it, he found five Daoist talismans inside.

"So many Minor Teleportation Dao Talisman?" Zhou Hao's eyes lit up immediately. "Including the one in his hand, he actually carries six Minor Teleportation Dao Talisman with him! Haha, we're rich!"

Leaving aside the value of a Minor Teleportation Dao Talisman, the journey to the Upper Sect is tens of millions of miles long, fraught with danger, and there is also a Divine Camel Daoist chasing after them.

Having a few more Minor Teleportation Dao Talisman that can instantly teleport you tens of thousands of miles is no less valuable than having a few more life-saving trump cards.

"Adding the Master Jingzhi gave me earlier, and the one Tong You had, I now have eight Minor Teleportation Dao Talisman."

Zhou Hao took out the five Dao talismans and placed them together with the three in his Mustard Stone Space, a sense of satisfaction welling up within him.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. The reward for killing Yu Zichi made Zhou Hao quite wealthy, even among the Myriad Phenomena True Person.

If you also include the top-grade Earth-rank magic treasure ' Dragon-Suppressing Stake ', and the three fiery red flying swords he just obtained, his treasures are probably better than those of many Daoists who have just entered the Nascent Soul realm.

Zhou Hao waved his hand, collecting all the miscellaneous items on the deck, intending to deal with them later.

"Sensing to see where that Divine Camel Daoist is." Zhou Hao closed his eyes and used his divine soul to sense the special fluctuations in the darkness.

The "Two Feelings Gu" is an extremely strange type of Gu worm.

If classified according to the rank of magical artifacts, it should be considered a Heavenly Rank Gu worm, cultivated by a Nascent Primordial Spirit Daoist who is skilled in the art of Gu worms.

Two Gu worms, one Jin One silver, one male and one female. The gold male worm is planted in the host's body. Once the host dies, the male worm will immediately perish, and after its death, a special energy will enter the murderer's body.

After the male insect dies, the silver female insect will immediately sense it and die for it. Like the male insect, she will also generate special energy that enters her master's body.

The special energy generated after the two Gu worms die will resonate with each other, allowing them to sense each other's location even if they are separated by billions of miles.

Although this would expose the location of the party trying to hunt down the murderer, the Two Feelings Gu has almost no distance limitations, so it is still used by some cultivators.

Of course, the clarity of the sensation depends on the strength of the spiritual energy and the distance between the two people.

The stronger one's spiritual power and the closer the distance, the clearer the location of the other party will be.

Zhou Hao had previously sensed the location of the Divine Camel Daoist, but he vaguely sensed that it was at least millions of miles away from him.

Therefore, although he immediately arranged everything, sent Xia Jie and the other two back to warn others, and left immediately himself, he was not actually too nervous.

He even had the leisure to examine Yu Zichi and Ren Jiu's storage treasures.

But this time, Zhou Hao was astonished to discover that the Divine Camel Daoist had already traversed millions of miles and was almost at the Twin Horse Island waters.

"Oh no! I forgot that the Yinglong Guard and teleportation arrays exist in this world." Zhou Hao suddenly realized.

The Great Xia Dynasty ruled over the Endless Territories of this vast world, intimidating the feudal lords, immortal sects, and tribes from all directions. Naturally, it possessed a powerful armed force, among which the ' Yinglong Guard ' was particularly noteworthy.

The Yinglong Guard is a special team composed entirely of cultivators. Although it is directly under the Great Xia Dynasty, it is usually very free. As long as it completes certain tasks within a specified time, it is not restricted at other times.

Moreover, joining the Yinglong Guard grants them a prestigious status, and their tribes can even carve out a piece of land to be protected by the Yinglong Guard. Therefore, most of the experts from various immortal sects and tribes join the Yinglong Guard.

Of course, to join the Yinglong Guard, one must at least be Myriad Phenomena True Person, and must pass the test to reach the required strength to join.

As Divine Camel Daoist of the Primordial Spirit Daoist, it was naturally easy for Shen Tuo Dao Ren to join Yinglong Guard.

The primary task of the Yinglong Guard is to hunt down various wanted criminals, and their privilege is to use the teleportation arrays that are spread throughout the main cities of the Great Xia Dynasty at any time.

"The main city of the Great Wild Plains, ' Great Wild City,' has a teleportation array. The Divine Camel Daoist must have gone to the teleportation array closest to him first, and then teleported directly to Great Wild City."

Having figured this out, Zhou Hao naturally dared not delay.

Call out!

With a flick of its tail, the golden fish left only a point of light on the distant horizon before disappearing completely.

Twin Horse Island was in complete chaos at this time.

First, the life chart of the fourth son of the Shang Clan, "Shang Zhi," was shattered, and then the life chart of the clan leader, "Shang Youde," was also shattered.

When the panicked servants came to report, Shang Xin and Shang Yi both rushed frantically towards the sea area where the Earth Fire Vein was located.

Although the two were grieving over the sudden deaths of their father and brother, the most important thing was that they were with the young master.

What if something were to happen to the young master...

That would be a really big problem!

I'll continue tonight. If I can finish writing before midnight, it'll count as an update today; if not, it'll be tomorrow.

Today went smoothly. It rained heavily this morning, and many people who had made appointments didn't show up. My follow-up appointment was completed in half a day.

I'm just heartbroken about losing that thousand-plus yuan. I need to write more and earn it back as soon as possible.
