Sweeping Through the Demon Kings' Cave Abodes, a Bountiful Haul!

Seeing that the Big Black Dog had made a pact with him, Chen Changqing felt relieved and said with a smile:

"From now on, you will follow me."

"But... isn't your figure a bit too conspicuous?"

This happened after they devoured the corpse of the Rat Demon King.

The Little Black Dog had grown many times larger and taller; standing there, it was a head taller than Chen Changqing, exuding an imposing aura.

Upon hearing what Chen Changqing said, the Big Black Dog immediately understood and shook its body.

Upon closer inspection, its enormous size was visibly shrinking.

In no time, it returned to the small form it had when it first met Chen Changqing.

The only difference is...

The silver inscription on the Little Black Dog's forehead became even more prominent.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Oh, right."

"I'll give you a name."

"Let's call him... Wangcai!"

Chen Changqing thought of the Little Black Dog he had raised in his previous life, whose name was also Wangcai.

Moreover, the reason he rescued the Little Black Dog earlier was because it bore a resemblance to Wangcai.

"Wangcai?"

The Little Black Dog frowned upon hearing the name Chen Changqing had given it.

It's clear that it doesn't seem to want this name.

"Owner!"

"Can't you choose a different name?"

"Wangcai is so... so unsophisticated!"

Chen Changqing smiled and said:

"Let's call him Wangcai!"

Upon hearing this, the Little Black Dog sighed helplessly and reluctantly accepted it.

Then, Chen Changqing chuckled and changed the subject:

"Wangcai, you should know where those three Demon Kings ' cave abode are, right?"

Upon hearing what Chen Changqing said, Wangcai's eyes lit up, and he naturally understood what Chen Changqing meant.

The White Tiger Demon King, the Human-Faced Centipede Demon King, and the Rat Demon King are all now dead.

Chen Changqing was going to their cave abode, intending to plunder it.

"Know!"

"I will lead the way for my master!"

Having said that, Wangcai revealed a set of gleaming white canine teeth and then took the lead, leaping away.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing didn't hesitate and followed Wangcai closely on his sword.

Before long, led by Wangcai, Chen Changqing arrived at Tiger Roar Cliff.

This is the location of the White Tiger Demon King's cave abode.

Inside the cave abode, there was a restriction left by the White Tiger Demon King, which Chen Changqing broke through with a single sword strike.

To Chen Changqing's surprise...

Inside the White Tiger Demon King's cave abode, there was a mountain of Spirit Stones, gleaming brightly.

Upon seeing this, Wangcai excitedly said:

"Owner."

"There must be tens of thousands of Spirit Stones here!"

Chen Changqing smiled faintly, waved his hand lightly, and instantly absorbed the tens of thousands of Spirit Stones into his Heaven-Stepping Ring.

Then, the man and the dog continued to plunder the White Tiger Demon King's cave abode.

Finally, a jade box was discovered deep within the cave abode.

Inside the treasure box, three Millennium Blood Ginsengs, entirely blood-red, were neatly arranged.

Chen Changqing accepted it without hesitation.

After ransacking the White Tiger Demon King's cave abode, Wangcai led Chen Changqing to the cave abode of the Human-Faced Centipede Demon King.

The Centipede Demon King's cave abode is in the Hundred-Leg Cave.

It was dark and damp inside, with poisonous insects and plants everywhere.

Here, Chen Changqing collected many precious poisonous herbs.

In addition, there were some Spirit Stones and Law Artifacts.

After looting all the treasures in the Centipede Demon King's cave abode, Wangcai took Chen Changqing to the Rat Demon King's cave abode.

This Rat Demon King was cunning; he built his cave abode inside a giant ancient tree.

"Mice really know how to hide!"

Chen Changqing sighed inwardly, then entered with Wangcai.

After breaking the seal inside the tree hole, Chen Changqing and Wangcai began to loot.

They found a large number of Spirit Stones inside.

What shocked Chen Changqing the most was that he found three talismans in the Rat Demon King's cave abode.

All three talismans emitted a purple-gold light.

The power of the Talisman surged, sending shivers down one's spine.

"The design of these three talismans looks like it was created by a powerful figure from the Dao Sect!"

"Its power is probably even greater than the talisman Elder Liu Mu gave me back then!"

Chen Changqing muttered to himself.

When he left Mount Shu earlier, Liu Mu gave him a talisman he had crafted himself, which contained the full power of Liu Mu's Late Golden Core cultivation.

It was with the help of that talisman that Chen Changqing was able to kill Li Ran, the Golden Core and patriarch of the Li Family, in Green Mountain Town.

The three talismans before them seemed to be even more powerful than the one Liu Mu had given them.

"It must have been crafted by Nascent Soul True Person cultivator!"

"I never expected that the Rat Demon King's cave abode would contain such a collection."

"It's a pity he's not Human Race Cultivator and can't activate these three talismans."

"Otherwise, carrying these three talismans with you will be equivalent to having three life-saving charms!"

Chen Changqing sighed, then without much thought, directly put the three talismans into his Heaven-Stepping Ring.

"Wangcai, we should go!"

Then, Chen Changqing looked at Wangcai.

Wangcai nodded.

Chen Changqing didn't linger; he flew away on his sword with Wangcai in tow.

Soon, the man and the dog flew out of the mountains.

Time slips away quietly.

Before we knew it, three days had passed.

At this moment, Chen Changqing brought Wangcai to a small town, intending to rest there for a day before continuing their journey.

However, upon entering the town, Chen Changqing noticed that the sky above the town seemed to be shrouded in a dark aura.

After glancing at an inn by the street, he led Wangcai inside.

Let's stay at this Yuelai Inn for the night!

Upon seeing a customer arrive, the waiter quickly came forward, greeting him with a smile:

"Sir/Madam!"

Are you here for a bite or to stay overnight?

Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:

"Get me some food and drinks first, then give me a superior room."

"Hello, sir!"

Then, the waiter led Chen Changqing to an empty table and sat him down.

Chen Changqing casually ordered a few side dishes.

Wangcai jumped onto the chair, looking at Chen Changqing with a puzzled expression.

After all, someone with Chen Changqing's level of cultivation would have long since Grain Avoidance.

Chen Changqing didn't explain anything; occasionally indulging in this culinary delight had its own unique charm.

Just as the waiter was about to prepare the dishes, a figure hurriedly approached and sat down at the table where Chen Changqing was.

"Um?"

Chen Changqing frowned slightly and looked at the newcomer.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the person was a monk wearing a kasaya, with a string of shiny Buddhist beads around his neck.

"Amitabha Buddha, could you please share a table with me, benefactor?"

The monk put his hands together in prayer and smiled at Chen Changqing.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing hesitated.

There were plenty of empty tables in the inn's lobby, so why did the monk specifically come to share a table with him?

After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing replied casually, "Please go ahead."

Seeing that Chen Changqing agreed, the monk didn't delay and immediately looked at the waiter:

"Waiter."

"Three catties of braised beef, a roast chicken, and two jugs of aged wine!"

Upon hearing what the monk said, the waiter was dumbfounded, and Chen Changqing was also astonished.

Seeing the two of them like this, the monk smiled calmly and said:

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and muttered to himself, "This monk is quite interesting!"
