Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 178 I Want Zhao Shuang

Being able to take out hundreds of top-grade spirit stones in one breath is not an easy task even for a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

If this wasn't the Tianpeng clan's trading hall, and if the fish shop owner sensed danger from Zhao Shuang, he definitely wouldn't mind killing someone to steal the treasure.

Zhao Shuang was quite surprised that the fish shop owner did not kill anyone to steal the treasure. He was still waiting for the fish shop owner to take action, but unfortunately he did not.

Obviously, he could only wait until the fish shop owner asked him to help collect thunder beasts before taking action.

After leaving the fish shop owner's shop, Zhao Shuang did not leave. Instead, he wandered around other shops and obtained a lot of precious materials. Then he left the trading hall with satisfaction and returned to his residence.

Then he saw the beautiful woman who wanted the purple fairy wood waiting for him. As for the Taoist companion 9, he had naturally returned to the cave for something.

This was also done intentionally by Zhao Shuang.

"Please forgive me, my friend. Something happened to my Taoist partner suddenly and I couldn't come and wait for you."

As soon as she saw Zhao Shuang coming in, the beautiful woman from the Tianpeng clan who was at the Refinement Void Stage, which is the level of Feilingshuai, explained with an apologetic look on her face.

"Haha, there's no need to apologize, Senior. You alone are enough. This is the purple fairy wood you wanted. Can you see if there's anything wrong with it?"

Zhao Shuang took out a green jade box about a foot in size from his storage bracelet and handed it to the beautiful woman of the Tianpeng clan who was in the Nascent Soul stage, and said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, my friend. I wonder what you would like? As long as the two of us can do it, we will not refuse."

A beautiful woman from the Tianpeng clan who was in the Nascent Soul stage, checked the contents of the green jade box with her spiritual sense, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she smiled sweetly and said.

"Nothing, I just want to ask you to stay for a few more days and practice with me. I believe you won't refuse!"

Zhao Shuang remained calm and stated his request with a smile.

"you……"

As soon as these words were spoken, the beautiful woman of the Tianpeng clan in the Nascent Soul stage blushed redly, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed. Just as she was about to take action, she suddenly found that she could not mobilize the true energy and magic power in her body.

"There's incense of loss in this room, and you actually have incense of loss. How is that possible?"

A beautiful woman from the Tianpeng clan who was in the Nascent Soul stage said with a horrified look on her face.

This incense of loss of consciousness is difficult to obtain even from the elders of the Tianpeng clan.

"Hehe, what do you think, senior?"

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang's smile became even more intense.

"wishful thinking!"

Seeing this, the beautiful woman of the Tianpeng clan, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, became increasingly panicked, but she did not agree. However, she also knew that she could not escape.

"Alas, that won't allow Senior."

Seeing the attitude of the beautiful woman from the Tianpeng clan in the Nascent Soul stage, Zhao Shuang didn't bother to talk nonsense. He just picked her up by the waist and walked towards the bedroom.

Of course, the beautiful woman from the Tianpeng clan who was in the Nascent Soul stage kept cursing, but soon, it turned into the familiar voice of begging for mercy that Zhao Shuang was familiar with.

Many days passed like this before Zhao Shuang was satisfied and let the beautiful woman from the Tianpeng clan who was in the Nascent Soul stage leave the room to deal with the matter of her Taoist partner.

After seeing how powerful he is, no woman would be unwilling to submit to him, so Zhao Shuang is not worried about anything.

Now he had to go to the fish shop owner to get the thunder beast and the five-color bloodline in its body.

These two are both good things, so he naturally can't miss them.

Of course, there are also the seeds of Qingluo Fruit. With the "Qingdi Muhuang Gong", there is no need to worry about anything.

……

The next day, Zhao Shuang came to the fish shop owner's shop. Before he could open his mouth, he heard dissatisfied voices in his ears.

"What's going on? Why are these people here? Don't you have an appointment with just me?"

The speaker was a big man in black armor with a full beard and an extremely majestic look.

Besides him, there was also a feminine man, and both of them were cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage.

"Hmph, I never said that I would only let one person help me subdue the spirit beast. Anyone who doesn't want to can leave. I won't stop them. But if you want things like Ice Heart Crystal, Purple Light Iron, and Qingluo Fruit, forget it."

Upon hearing this, the fish shop owner spoke first without waiting for Zhao Shuang to say anything.

Hearing this, the big man in black armor and the feminine man looked at each other and said nothing. Zhao Shuang watched all this coldly.

"Alright, but if one of us helps subdue the spirit beast first, then the others who come after us will gain nothing."

The feminine young man said with some concern.

"Hehe, don't worry about that. I never thought of asking you to act alone, but I need the three of you to work together to display your lightning magic. Otherwise, based on previous experience, your lightning power will never succeed. As long as you can subdue it successfully, I will give you what you want as agreed." The fish shop owner said with a disdainful sneer.

As soon as these words came out, the two of them no longer had any objections.

Afterwards, the feminine young man asked to inspect the goods. The fish shop owner hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

He was not worried about the two Fei Ling Marshals in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm. What he was worried about was that Zhao Shuang, a Fei Ling General whose identity was difficult to see through, might not be able to hide his disguise skills.

But there were still three "whoosh" sounds, and three wooden boxes of different sizes flew out from his cuffs.

Seeing this, the feminine young man and the big man in black armor were naturally overjoyed. Then, they shook their sleeves and a cloud of light flew out and wrapped around the wooden box in front of them.

Zhao Shuang naturally rolled up his own wooden box as well.

As soon as he picked it up, a refreshing medicinal fragrance filled his nose. Inside the wooden box, there was a fist-sized, emerald green peach-shaped fruit, like an emerald. There were even two strange reddish leaves underneath. At this time, the other two wanted to reach out and take out the things inside.

However, the fish shop owner spoke first.

"They have been placed under some minor restrictions, so don't touch them. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, you three won't be able to compensate even if you lose everything."

"Brother Yu, what do you mean? How can we tell whether it's real or fake if we can't touch it with our hands?" The black-armored man was obviously startled and said angrily,

"With your naked eyes and divine sense alone, you three should be about 70% to 80% sure of identifying the object. If you really want to fully confirm the contents of the box, you'd better wait until you're done. I can't guarantee that you can help me subdue the spirit beast. If you fail, there's no need to identify it yourself. Given my reputation in the clan, are you really afraid that I'll cheat?"

The fish shop owner glanced at Zhao Shuang, and after making sure that there was nothing to find, he said lightly.

"Okay, we'll trust you this time. I don't think Brother Yu will really ruin his reputation." The feminine young man looked into the box several times, with an uncertain expression, and finally stomped his feet and threw the wooden box back again.

After carefully examining the item in his hand, the big man handed it to the fishmonger.
Then he put away the two wooden boxes and headed to the other side.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang put down the wooden box silently.

"Okay, without further ado, my three fellow Taoists, follow me." The fish shop owner put away the wooden box in Zhao Shuang's hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said.

After all, there was something wrong with Zhao Shuang's wooden box. To be exact, there was something wrong with all three of them.

He naturally didn't dare to let them take a closer look, lest there be any accidents.
……

An hour later, the group arrived at an extremely remote corner of the holy city.

There are few buildings here, not many Tianpeng people, and it is extremely desolate.

The fish shop owner brought the three of them to an inconspicuous, low building.

The building is only about thirty feet high, divided into two floors, and is gray.

As soon as the four of them landed, two men in their twenties pushed open the door and came out. They bowed to the fish shop owner and said, "Welcome, Master!"

"You two stay outside. No one is allowed to enter without my order."

Seeing this, the fish shop owner nodded slightly and gave instructions.

"As ordered!"

Upon hearing this, the two naturally did not dare to refuse, and immediately agreed, then stood on both sides of the gate.

Afterwards, Zhao Shuang, the feminine man, and the big man in black armor followed the fish shop owner into the house.

The room was not very small, and the furnishings were extremely simple. Three square wooden tables and more than ten wooden chairs took up most of the space.

However, what is more eye-catching is that there are several yellowed ancient paintings hanging on the walls around the house. The paintings are all about monsters and landscapes, which is also not surprising.

"This... that spirit beast is really here."

The big man in black armor glanced around and couldn't help but say.

After all, this room doesn't look like it could trap any powerful spirit beasts.

Naturally, he didn't want to believe it.

"Now that I'm here, I'm not going to lie. Follow me."

The fish shop owner glared at the big man in black armor without any hesitation and said.

After saying this, regardless of the pale and blue face of the black-armored man, he walked straight to an ancient landscape painting hanging on the wall on one side of the room. With a flick of his sleeves, a scroll suddenly appeared in his hand.

With a slight shake, the scroll unfolded, revealing the same content as the ancient scroll on the wall.

The next moment, the feminine young man was horrified and said, "The Xumi Cave Heaven Map, the Five Lights Clan's most precious treasure, is actually in your hands!"

"Impossible, doesn't the Five Lights Clan only have seven sets of this kind of treasure? How could Brother Yu possibly get it?" Upon hearing this, the big man in black armor was also shocked and couldn't believe it.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a dark green hill painted on the yellowish scroll. There was also a small building on the hill, but it was blurry, giving people an unusually hazy feeling.

"You have a good eye. This is indeed the Sumeru Cave Heaven Map. However, it is not one of the seven sets that the Five Lights Clan regards as the clan's treasure. It is just a Sumeru map with flaws." The fish shop owner admitted it openly, but did not admit it.

"Imitation?" The feminine young man and the big man in black armor looked at each other with doubts.

"Even within the Five Lights Clan, few people know about this. Initially, the Five Lights Clan used the spirit bones of the five-colored peacock to refine not seven sets of the Sumeru Cave Heaven Diagram, but ten. Unfortunately, three of the sets had flaws during refining, resulting in a significant reduction in effectiveness. Therefore, these three sets were hidden long ago and never announced to the public. Later, for various reasons, these three sets of the Sumeru Diagram eventually slipped away from the Five Lights Clan and fell into the hands of various other clans. As for how I obtained this set, you three don't need to know in detail," the fish shop owner said proudly.
"Even if there are some flaws, Brother Yu still needs a great opportunity to obtain this kind of Sumeru thing." The big man in black armor said with envy.

Similarly, the feminine young man looked at the two scrolls, and a flash of greed flashed in his eyes.

However, Zhao Shuang didn't pay any attention to it. Not to mention that everything would be his in the future, even his demon refining pot was not comparable to a mere Xumi Cave Heaven Map.

"Okay, let's go in quickly. The spirit beast is in this cave."

As soon as the fish shop owner finished speaking, he shook the scroll in his hand.

An incredible scene appeared. Suddenly, five-colored spiritual light shone on the scroll, and then it trembled and turned into a cloud of light, and disappeared into the scroll on the wall.

The shop owner muttered something, and suddenly pointed at the scroll on the wall with one hand.

The scroll on the wall also flashed with light and emitted a large amount of rosy light.

Driven by the shop owner, the five-colored rays of light suddenly swept several people into it.

Then, there was a flash of light, the ground became empty, and there was no one in the whole room.

The dazzling light disappeared and Zhao Shuang opened his eyes.

They were standing on a bluestone square, and not far in front of them was a group of buildings of varying heights.

These buildings are exactly the ones on the hill drawn on the Xumi Cave Heaven map.

Sure enough, he was now on top of a emerald green hill. The sky was blue with only a few white clouds floating gently.

But this space does not seem to be too big, only a few miles in size, and is surrounded by five-colored light walls on all sides.

As soon as the fish shop owner came in, he moved without hesitation and headed straight for the group of buildings.

Seeing this, the three of them also flew into the air and followed.

"Brother Yu, the Xumi space here looks intact and there is nothing abnormal. What exactly does the flaw mean?" The feminine young man asked curiously as soon as he flew near the shop owner.
"Hehe, do you think I would tell you about this? What kind of flaw is this Sumeru diagram? It seems to have nothing to do with our transaction." The fish shop owner said bluntly.

"Haha, Brother Yu, you're worrying too much. I'm just a little curious and don't have any ill intentions." Upon hearing this, the feminine young man's face turned red and white, and he didn't say anything more.

The same goes for the fish shop owner. After all, he still needs help, so he can't say anything too harsh.
Soon, they arrived at an attic, which was over a hundred feet high and divided into three floors. It was of ancient style, with a pointed bottom and a pointed top.

"The spirit beast is in this attic. Come with me and take a look at it first."

The fish shop owner gave the order in a calm tone, then led the way.

The three of them looked at each other and continued to follow closely.

However, the fish shop owner did not land at the entrance on the first floor, but floated to a window on the second floor and stopped falling.

At this time, the three of them also landed on the second floor, and then looked inside through the window, but they only saw a silver light curtain. It seemed that the entire second-floor attic had been sealed with a ban.

The feminine young man's eyes flashed, but before he could say anything else, there was a sudden loud "boom" sound, and the light curtain in front of him shook slightly, and even the attic shook a few times.

"This spirit beast is pretty good. I want it."

Zhao Shuang's light words made the faces of the fish shop owner, the feminine man, and the big man in black armor change drastically.
