The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 236 Soul and Body Are Indispensable, Divine Skills and Techniques Are Rare (Second Update)

"Are you keeping it safe?"

"this……"

The human elder from Pi City hesitated.

This elderly human woman, named Ju, is over eight hundred years old this year. She doesn't know her exact age, only that her lifespan is coming to an end.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, we are not even pseudo-immortals, so it was not easy for us to find out this information. It would be difficult to get any more accurate information," Ju said helplessly.

After hearing this, Luo Zu stopped making things difficult for her. What she said was right. It would be good enough if they could find out even a little bit of information about this kind of thing. Any more would probably be harmful to them.

Furthermore, no one really knows the origins of this matter; it may have been passed through many hands by the time it reaches them.

However, Luo Zu did have a golden toad that could find treasure, so after sending Ju away, he summoned the toad Koko: "Do you know what treasures are in this Thunder Swamp?"

After being pulled out, Toad Knock finally stood up. Hearing the question, he was slightly taken aback: "Master, Lei Ze is so vast, there must be countless treasures. But what kind of treasure are you looking for?"

"It has been known since the beginning of time," Luo Zu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the toad tapped its webbed feet, scratching its scalp repeatedly, and asked, "What did you say?"

Luo Zu didn't repeat himself, but stared intently at him.

Feeling guilty under his gaze, Toad Knock said, "Master, those treasures already have owners. You... really want them?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zu laughed and said, "Do you think you can find it for me if I ask?"

"Hehe." Toad Koko hurriedly rubbed his webbed feet.

"I'm not sure about this either."

"Enough with the nonsense. Let me ask you: can you find the treasure that Ju mentioned, which is so rare that it was practically impossible to find anything at the beginning of time?" Luo Zu waved his hand, bringing the atmosphere back to solemnity.

Toad Knock Knock shook his head, quite unusually: "This can't be done, sir."

Seeing his troubled expression, Luo Zu knew that this was truly impossible, so he didn't force him. He just tapped the toad playfully. If such a treasure could be found by tapping this golden toad who wasn't even a Xuanxian, then his ancestors would have to go to the Heavenly Court to help the Heavenly Emperor search for treasures beyond the primordial world.

However, Luo Zu would be happy if he could trick him into revealing his skill.

Unfortunately, this kid is not up to the task; his cultivation is not up to par, and he hasn't mastered the treasure-hunting technique. As Luo Zu predicted, he can't accomplish this.

"Alright, if you can't do it, then don't. Tell me about Lei Ze again, or try to communicate with your uncle?" Luo Zu then said.

Toad Knock's face then turned even more bitter: "Master, I've never met my uncle. I only heard about that matter from my father. Besides, if I were to communicate with him, he might misunderstand me..."

"What misunderstanding?"

"You've mistaken me for a demon spy who came to Leize to gather intelligence," the toad replied.

Actually, even without Koukou saying it, Luo Zu already had this speculation in his mind.

"This won't work, that won't work, what use are you to me?" Luo Zu pretended to be angry and embarrassed, waving his big hand in a manner befitting a client, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Toad Knock also pretended to be greatly alarmed and said, "I'll go right away, I'll go right away, but whether it succeeds or not..."

"Um?!"

"It will definitely succeed, it will definitely succeed."

In the end, Toad Knock had no choice but to agree to it.

In order to help him accomplish this task, Luo Zu also created a celestial-level physical body for him.

Luo Zu left a back door in this physical body, allowing him to insert and remove the toad's soul from this body at will.

Toad Knock was naturally delighted to have a new physical body. Of course, he knew that there would be no free lunch with Luo Zu, but he was satisfied to have a physical body in the prehistoric world again. If he did not have this physical body, he would have to turn to cultivating his soul and then find an opportunity to possess other kinds of beings.

Alternatively, he could switch to cultivating the Ghost Immortal Method provided to him by Luo Zu. The future of this method is uncertain, as Yang Du, the creator of this method, is still wandering in the Nine Netherworlds and is still a step away from the Heavenly Immortal Dao Realm.

Alternatively, he could directly condense a pure magical body. This method is more violent and direct, but also more effective, and can imitate the primordial spirit method and dharma form method provided to him by Luo Zu.

In short, Luo Zu had already deduced how he wanted to cultivate, and it was up to him to choose. However, Toad Knock kept hesitating because he was still reluctant to give up his physical body.

His physical body was also extraordinary, belonging to the Golden Toad lineage, and his physical body contained its own mysteries. Although he later switched to cultivating his soul, the wonders within his physical body were also transferred to it.

However, there is still considerable untapped potential within his physical body, which he finds regrettable, so he wants to regain his physical form.

However, his physical body had been shattered by Luo Zu, making it difficult to reassemble; he certainly didn't have that ability himself.

But he didn't expect that Luo Zu would actually help him by directly reshaping his physical body.

"Master, you are my second parents." After saying this, Toad Koukko koukko koukko koukko koukko three times to Luo Zu.

"Alright, alright." Luo Zu naturally stopped him.

If we don't stop him, this guy might just become his godfather.

This is terrible, this is unacceptable.

He had many toad godsons, so when people talked about "a toad eating swan meat," they would all think of him.

Furthermore, it is considered unlucky to be someone's godfather.

"Go, but don't try to cheat or slack off, and don't sneak off to the Heavenly Court," Luo Zu then shouted.

The toad nodded repeatedly, "Understood, understood, I understand."

The toad then burrowed into the body, and the originally lifeless and dull body gradually became clear and shiny. Then, it used the body to kowtow three times to Luo Zu.

After he finished knocking, he used his webbed feet to perform a hand seal, and then vanished without a trace.

Luo Zu knew that this guy was also feeling stifled. Life without a physical body was not easy, especially for cultivators who had cultivated their divine souls in this era. Unless they had shattered their physical bodies and extracted their essence to refine their divine souls, losing their physical bodies was extremely painful, as if their skin had been peeled off and their bones had been dismantled. It was incredibly uncomfortable all over.

However, Luo Zu's primordial spirit and Dharma body do not have this concern. The primordial spirit is based on the Daoist method as its framework, immortal Qi as its flesh and blood, and spirit and true spirit as its main body. Therefore, it can be considered another body, rather than a form like a divine soul.

At this moment, Toad Koko returned to his physical body, and there was not much change between his original body and his physical body, so he was naturally overjoyed.

Unbeknownst to him, Luo Zu was taking advantage of the moment when his soul returned to his body to analyze his treasure-hunting supernatural power.

Unfortunately, this supernatural power is well hidden, and Luo Zu has never been able to retrieve and analyze it before, but it is difficult now as well.

But Luo Zu waited for him to perform it a few more times, hoping that he could gain inspiration from it and turn it into a spell.

This was no easy task, but in his early years, Luo Zu gradually comprehended the supernatural powers of his clansmen and analyzed and compiled them into a Taoist method that could be practiced.
