After saying that, he crushed a Space Shuttle Talisman. "Whoosh!"
The two vanished into the void in an instant. When they reappeared, they were already inside Yuanshi's treasury. At the sight of the pile of treasures and spiritual roots within, Nüwa's eyes immediately gleamed.
"Wow!"
"I never expected Yuanshi to have so many treasures. Look, that's the Immortal Apricot, one of the ten supreme Innate Spiritual Roots. And that's Three Lights Divine Water. We've struck it rich this time."
"Quick, take everything here. Don't let the Immortal Apricot slip away either."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nüwa began gathering every treasure in the treasury. Seeing this, Ling Wudao secretly mused, Had her former dignified and imposing manner all been an act?
At that moment, Nüwa became a harvesting machine. Wherever she passed, not a blade of grass remained. Anything of value was swept into the space within her sleeve.
Seeing Nüwa like this, Ling Wudao immediately joined in. Before long, every treasure in Yuanshi's treasury had been thoroughly looted, not even the Immortal Apricot spared.
After the looting was finished, Nüwa said solemnly, "What a pity. The treasures Yuanshi carries with him are not here. That Nine Dragons Aloeswood Chariot alone is an essential item for travel. If we could obtain it, we could travel in style in the future."
Ling Wudao rolled his eyes at Nüwa. "Even if we got that thing, we couldn't take it out and use it. The moment we did, Yuanshi would know we stole his treasures."
"Let's go. We'll take a look at Taiqing's abode. The golden pills there are our greatest target on this trip."
Nüwa smiled faintly, then tossed a Sarira onto the ground. Immediately afterward, the two used a Space Shuttle Talisman to leave.
When they appeared again, they had arrived in Taiqing Heaven. Yet after looking around, they could not see Taiqing's abode.
"Strange. Taiqing's abode should indeed be here. How could it be gone?"
Hearing Nüwa's words, Ling Wudao could not help revealing a thoughtful expression.
"Could it be that he moved his abode back to Kunlun Mountain?"
"That is possible. We'll know once we go to Kunlun Mountain. Let's go!"
With that, the two headed straight for Kunlun Mountain. When they arrived atop the mountain, they discovered that Taiqing's Eight Scenery Palace was indeed there.
"That old dog Taiqing is planning to join Yuanshi's camp. If that's the case, then we have even more reason to take his treasures and golden pills."
"Nüwa, let's go!"
With that, Ling Wudao directly took out a Space Shuttle Talisman. In an instant, the two arrived inside the alchemy chamber of the Eight Scenery Palace. Nüwa looked at all the golden pills on the shelves and immediately began looting them.
Ling Wudao, however, found it somewhat strange. By all reason, Taiqing should have been in his abode right now. Though they had entered while concealing their auras, it was impossible for him to have noticed nothing—unless he was in secluded cultivation, stabilizing his injuries.
Thinking that this was possible, Ling Wudao hurriedly sped up his plundering of the golden pills and spiritual roots. Before long, he and Nüwa had looted every golden pill in the alchemy chamber.
Yet at that moment, Ling Wudao discovered a hidden compartment in the stone wall behind the pill shelves.
He immediately sent Nüwa a voice transmission. "Come over quickly. I found something good."
Upon receiving the voice transmission, Nüwa immediately walked to Ling Wudao's side. When she saw the hidden compartment in the stone wall, she could not help feeling startled.
"Wudao, Taiqing is truly quite calculating. He actually hid more good things away. Let's open the compartment and take a look."
"Wait a moment. There are array patterns on that compartment. If we touch it, Taiqing will definitely sense it. We need to break the array without making a sound."
Nüwa sent a voice transmission. "I know a little about arrays, but I cannot silently break one yet. If it really comes to it, we can only give up the treasures inside the hidden compartment."
Ling Wudao looked at the array patterns, then took out a golden talisman. The talisman was completely blank.
Seeing this, Nüwa immediately sent him a voice transmission. "What talisman is that? Why is it blank?"
"I'm going to replicate the array patterns on it. Once I understand and control the array patterns, I'll be able to break the array without a sound. Wait for me."
After sending the voice transmission, Ling Wudao began replicating the array patterns on the stone wall. Once he finished, he immediately entered the Divine Talisman Space.
"System, come out."
Ding! What does the host need from this system?
"System, help me analyze the array patterns on this talisman."
Ding! System scanning...! Scan complete. This is the Innate Fire Poison Grand Array. Once triggered, the fire poison within the array will erode the target. In mild cases, it burns the physical body and Divine Soul; in severe cases, the target turns to ash on the spot.
"Damn!"
"That dog Taiqing is truly sinister. Is there any way to break this array?"
Ding! The host may condense a talisman according to the array patterns. Afterward, a method to break it can be found from the talisman patterns.
"So that's how it is. I understand now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Wudao went directly into the Divine Talisman Space and began condensing a talisman according to the array patterns.
After a while, Ling Wudao condensed a Fire Poison Divine Talisman, then began searching for a way to break the array based on its talisman patterns.
Very quickly, he found the method.
"So it was this simple. I wasted all that time tinkering around here. Sigh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Wudao exited the Divine Talisman Space.
"Nüwa, I'll break the array first. Step aside a little."
Hearing this, Nüwa immediately moved several steps to the side. Once Ling Wudao saw that she had moved away, he began dismantling the array Taiqing had set up.
After a while, the array patterns on the stone wall suddenly dimmed. Seeing this, Nüwa immediately sent a voice transmission. "Is it broken?"
Hearing the voice transmission, Ling Wudao immediately replied, "It's broken. Let's see what good things are inside first!"
After the two finished their voice transmissions, Nüwa immediately pressed the switch on the stone wall. The wall slowly opened, revealing an exquisite square box.
Seeing this, Nüwa immediately reached out, took the box, and opened it.
When they saw what was inside the box, both of them could not help revealing looks of wild delight.
Ling Wudao sent a voice transmission. "What a good thing! These are Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. If we take them, we can cultivate several Great Luo Golden Immortals."
"The pills are indeed good, but using them to cultivate Great Luo Golden Immortals would be wasteful. It is true that Nine Revolutions Golden Pills can allow mortals to instantly become Great Luo Golden Immortals, but they have one fatal flaw: anyone who takes such a pill will be trapped at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for the rest of their life."
Hearing Nüwa's words, Ling Wudao immediately recalled that the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill had this side effect.
"Then these pills are useless. Let's put them back!"
Nüwa smiled faintly. "Who said they're useless? Though they cannot be used to make mortals become Great Luo Golden Immortals, they are indispensable divine medicine for healing injuries."
Indispensable divine medicine for healing injuries. No wonder Taiqing hid them so carefully. It seemed he intended to use them to heal his own injuries.
Since Taiqing wanted to use the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills to heal himself, I could tamper with them a little. Hehe!
