Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 27 was very rewarding and perfectly reasonable (Could you give me some votes...?)
Su Ji had never met the previous local deity, but he had always heard legends about him.

Now that the treasures left behind by the previous Earth God have reappeared, even if there aren't many left, they might still be of great use to Su Ji, who has only been cultivating for a short time.

"There's actually an underground palace beneath the coffin of the Wu family's walking corpses?" Su Ji couldn't help but be surprised.

The term "underground palace" does not specifically refer to the tombs of royalty or nobility; it broadly refers to various underground structures.

Clearly, the tomb of the walking corpses was just a decoy; the underground palace below was the real stronghold, and the walking corpses were merely its guardians.

Even after the golden toad explicitly refused to deal with the walking corpses, the Earth God still mentioned the treasures in the underground palace, naturally thinking of other methods.

If it were someone else, it would be really difficult to bypass the walking corpses and reach the underground palace.

Su Ji, however, was an exception. After transforming into the body of a golden toad, he could not only easily dig tunnels, but also had strong defensive capabilities.

So the Earth God laughed and said, "There is still more than an hour before dawn. When your golden toad form arrives near the underground palace, I will use the power of the Earth God to enrage the walking corpse."

"The walking corpses don't have much intelligence. After I distract them, you dig a passage straight to the underground palace and take all the treasures inside!"

Judging from the descriptions of the soul cultivators, in addition to tangible but intangible spiritual objects, those treasures also included some spiritual medicines that could strengthen the physical body of the walking corpse and increase its spiritual cultivation.

In addition to the skeleton of the previous local deity, there were also his personal collections.

Su Ji then realized that the previous local deity had been quite prestigious during his lifetime, and the burial items in his tomb were probably quite valuable.

Grave robbing?

In fact, Su Ji could not only treat this matter as "fighting monsters and seizing treasures," but also as "confiscating property."

However, in secular society, confiscating property involves the living quarters, while in divine society, it involves the graves and tombs.

Su Ji nodded and said, "Then let's give it a try!"

But the local deity still reminded you: "Even if the Wu family's soul cultivator says there are no traps in the underground palace, you should still be careful. Ordinary poisons may not hurt you, but some sharp weapons can be dangerous."

Even a piece of copper or iron can be deformed by the forging of a sledgehammer. Although the golden toad that Su Ji transformed into contains magical power, if it is scratched by a sharp weapon, it will eventually manifest itself when it transforms into a physical body.

"Don't worry, Earth God, I have my own ways to avoid danger!" Su Ji said confidently.

Not to mention that Yan Tianchou can sense the size of a radius of one zhang, even his celestial soul and spirit can sense the changes around him, greatly reducing the risk.

The only problem is that this place is some distance from the Wu family's ancestral graves, so in order to save time, Su Ji has no choice but to go there in his physical body first.

The Golden Toad Transformation skill has a maximum cooldown of twelve hours. However, last night Su Ji only sent the Golden Toad in a dream, so it did not consume much Golden Qi, and the cooldown time was greatly shortened.

When Su Ji arrived near the Wu family ancestral graves, it was only a little past four in the morning. Recently, it usually gets light around six o'clock, so there was still time to get things done.

Upon seeing Su Ji arrive, the local earth god, understanding the situation, unleashed a burst of five-colored light and immediately attacked the walking corpse in the tomb that was exhaling yin energy.

The walking corpse's cultivation was interrupted, and its eyes immediately turned red. It struggled against its chains and tried to rush forward to fight.

The local deity, however, paid no heed and, to prevent the walking corpse from breaking free of its chains, precisely controlled the force and angle.

So much so that just as the walking corpse was about to exert force to pull the chain, a surge of earth yang energy landed on the joint where it was exerting force. After the walking corpse had been busy for a long time, it was just spinning around like a headless fly.

Even so, the walking corpse was still full of energy, and even the local earth god couldn't help but sigh: "How many treasures did the previous earth spirit official use on you to make your physical body so strong?"
"Could it be that he saw you were about to advance to the Corpse King level, which is why he risked cooperating with the mountain demons?" The Wu family's soul cultivators were unaware of this matter, and the local earth god was even more clueless.

Fortunately, these treasures not only weren't used on the walking corpses, but are about to fall into their hands.

While digging the passage, Su Ji did discover some simple mechanisms, but none of them were of any use to him. Soon he arrived at the underground palace, where, in addition to the treasures mentioned by the Wu family soul cultivator, there were also some burial objects.

If you only look at the silver coins, there are only about ten taels, and most of them are copper coins.

Su Ji lost interest and didn't touch the dead people's things. After five visits, he only took away the spiritual medicine and the tangible but intangible spiritual materials.

There are only two spiritual materials that are tangible but intangible: one is a bead that exudes malevolent energy, and the other is wood that emits a peculiar fragrance.

There were five kinds of medicinal herbs. The smallest was just a seed of a certain plant, while the largest was a Ganoderma lucidum about a foot long. Su Ji had to spend a lot of effort to avoid damaging the Ganoderma lucidum during the transportation process.

"Eh..." The Earth God slowly flew over, a strange look on his face.

"A ginseng seed that is hard to grow even on a single ginseng plant... a lingzhi mushroom that has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth for a hundred years... a chicken blood vine... a spirit sandalwood incense... an earthly evil pearl."

"As expected of the Black Tiger Demon, a core member of the Mountain Lord's clan, the treasures he brought out were quite extraordinary."

Judging from the behavior of the spirit general who roamed the mountain god temple at night, it can be seen that the Black Tiger demon is not just a member of the Mountain Lord clan, and now this has been further confirmed.

"What a great find!" Su Ji exclaimed with emotion.

The local deity simply thought these things were extraordinary, but Su Ji had never even heard of them, let alone seen them, so his eyes lit up.

Most importantly, these things are mostly for cultivating walking corpses, which are extremely useful for the physical body and spirit. Even if they can't be used now, they can be used in the future.

At this moment, the Earth God suddenly smiled and said, "Since these treasures were obtained by the two of us, let's divide them equally."

"The Earthly Fiend Pearl can be used as a material for setting up an array, and the Ginseng Spirit Seed can be planted to cultivate spirit ginseng... These four are mine, while the Hundred-Year-Old Ganoderma, Chicken Blood Spirit Vine, and Spirit Sandalwood are yours, how about it?"

The local deity appeared to be questioning Su Ji, but in reality, he had already figured Su Ji out.

Although the Earth God received four kinds, the Ginseng Spirit Seed still needs to be cultivated... and the Earthly Fiend Pearl only has an auxiliary role.

The chicken blood vine and century-old Ganoderma lucidum given to Su Ji were fine, but the sandalwood incense was a precious item that could restore spirit and improve comprehension. The three items together were more valuable than the four items given to the local earth god.

After learning about the effects of these treasures, Su Ji, though unaware of their value, knew that the local deity was a generous man who would never take advantage of others, and agreed to the distribution method without hesitation.

When they returned, Su Ji didn't need to carry anything back and forth.

It should be noted that even the weightless celestial soul can move things with magical power.

Although the Earth God couldn't move objects weighing over a hundred pounds, he could easily carry things weighing a dozen pounds. These treasures weighed less than three pounds in total, so they flew away with the Earth God with ease.

The ginseng seed was entrusted to the spirit soldier of the god of grain by the Earth God. With this god in charge of planting taking care of it, the ginseng should sprout soon.

Su Ji's two treasures were kept in the Zhang family's courtyard, so there was no fear of them being lost.

Yan Tianchou even proposed a hypothesis: "Zhang Xiaolian's dreams can materialize a certain thing. If we give Zhang Xiaolian consumable sandalwood incense, wouldn't it be possible to have the incense continue indefinitely in her dreams?"

Immediately, even the usually calm Su Ji was taken aback: "Unlimited Fragrance? Believe it or not, it's actually quite possible!"

For a high-level cultivator like the Earth God, the slight increase in comprehension from the sandalwood incense might not be much, but for Su Ji, it would be a significant boost.

Su Ji's only concern was whether the Heavenly Soul Spirit would develop resistance to the Spirit Sandalwood.

Yan Tianchou, however, was very optimistic, saying, "Even if the Heavenly Soul Spirit has a resistance to the Spirit Sandalwood Incense, it should still need to reach a certain dosage. Before that, any improvement we can enjoy is a bonus."
