The golden Pixiu statue sparkled in the sun, drawing a parabola in the air.

Qi Honglian also used her spiritual power when throwing the little Pixiu, so it flew very far and landed on the ground about fifty or sixty feet away.

Nangong Ruyun's gaze also followed the golden statue to the distance.

However, Qi Honglian pulled the corner of Nangong Ruyun's clothes and pointed to her feet and said, "Look, it's right at my feet now."

Just as she said, the golden Pixiu that had just been thrown out was lying quietly at Qi Honglian's feet.

This scene shocked Nangong Ruyun. It was the first time she encountered such a strange thing.

The statue on the ground was the same one Qi Honglian had thrown out earlier. The chipped corners and scratches on the golden Pixiu were identical, and the aura was identical. This was the same object.

At this time, Zhao Kangping also tidied up his appearance and walked out. He heard the conversation between Aunt Yun and Qi Honglian just now, and he also noticed the strangeness of this Pixiu.

Seeing Zhao Kangping coming, Qi Honglian seemed a little flustered.

When she gave the man the Linglong Heart Lotus, she also expressed her feelings to him. However, he did not accept her love, so she could only pretend that it was a joke.

I don’t know whether he told his senior sister about this.

But when she thought about it carefully, her senior sister had not mentioned this matter yet, so he probably didn't mention it.

"Let me see this thing." Zhao Kangping said as he took the golden little Pixiu in his hand.

At first glance, this thing is nothing special. It looks like a small gold ornament, perhaps a small decoration placed on the desk.

But when Zhao Kangping probed his spiritual sense into it, he found something wrong.

After his spiritual consciousness entered, it encountered a strong resistance that repelled him.

This reminded him of a saying: There is no silver here, but there is at least one hundred taels of silver.

There is indeed something wrong with this thing.

The first person he thought of was to consult the omnipotent system lady.

(A Shui, can you see what’s wrong with this thing?)

The system lady did not respond immediately, but a translucent blue woman's hand stretched out from his chest.

He knew that this was A Shui's hand, and this slender hand quickly grabbed the golden statue.

After Ah Shui held the statue for a while, his hand suddenly trembled.

[An evil spirit is sealed inside this thing.]

[It will absorb the wealth of the owner of this golden Pixiu, causing the owner's fortune to be greatly reduced when earning any money.]

The property she mentioned included gold and silver coins in the mortal world, as well as spirit stones circulated among monks.

(Why does it sound like this thing is cursed?)

[It can be understood this way. 】

[But this is not the only effect of this thing. It may also be the key to a treasure.]

(key?)

Zhao Kangping looked at the Pixiu statue carefully. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a key.

But he soon figured it out: a key doesn't have to fit into a keyhole to be considered a key. This is a world of immortal cultivation filled with extraordinary powers, with all sorts of strange things happening. The shape of a key shouldn't be limited to common types.

How do you know it's a key?

[This item can activate a treasure map. You can ask that woman to transfer it to you, and I can help you find the treasure.]

(What the hell? Where do all these treasures in the world of immortal cultivation come from?)

(Please don't lie to me. I hate it most when people lie to me.)

Not long ago, when I was out playing with my senior sisters, we passed by a place where they said there was treasure. It turned out that there was only a portal to the Demon Realm hidden there.

Now there is another Pixiu treasure. Why do I feel like there is probably a ghost in it?

[It's not good for me to lie to you, but I have to remind you.]

[Although this thing contains the secret of a treasure, it is also full of risks.]

But higher risk also means higher rewards. Don't you want to see what's in it?

Although he was full of doubts, he still said to Qi Honglian, "Can you give this thing to me? I can exchange it with you."

Qi Honglian's eyes opened wide, she couldn't wait to get rid of this thing.

How could she not agree? So she said, "Take it. It's yours if you want it. I don't want it, and I don't need you to exchange it for anything."

But Nangong Ruyun on the side said, "Wait, you throw all the dirty things to Ping'er."

"Wait a minute, Ping'er, this thing is weird, it's better not to touch it."

My aunt advised me with good intentions, and she was naturally thinking about her good nephew.

If this thing really brings bad luck to people, how could Ping'er take it away?

Of course Zhao Kangping could see that something was wrong with this thing, but he did not covet the treasure hidden in it.

But he felt that he could do something with this treasure.

"Aunt Yun, this thing is useful to me."

Chapter 411: Miaoyin Sect is coming to kill

The Pixiu statue originally had the mark of Qi Honglian's soul on it. When she saw that Zhao Kangping was willing to take the blame, she immediately erased her own traces.

However, removing the soul mark would cause slight damage to her soul and cause her to lose about one or two hundred years of life.

Compared to the 2,000-year lifespan of a Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivator, this one or two hundred years is no small amount. It would be a lie to say I wasn't heartbroken.

Fortunately, the lost lifespan can be made up by some elixirs or spiritual fruits.

However, Qi Honglian was now heavily in debt, so how could she afford to buy these life-extending pills or spiritual fruits? It just so happened that these things were ridiculously expensive.

If Zhao Kangping wants to use this thing, he will inevitably be bound to it.

He became a little uneasy when he thought that this thing could also suck away the wealth of its holder.

He invested in a tea plantation not long ago, so he won't lose everything.

However, he planned to untie it after using the Pixiu treasure, and throw it as far as possible.

But when I untie him, his lifespan will be consumed again. Why do I feel like I have been wronged?

If this treasure can't produce some gold coins, then I will suffer a huge loss.

"Ping'er, why did you accept this?" Nangong Ruyun also realized that the Pixiu statue was ominous. She wanted to stop him, but he claimed that he was useful and told her not to worry.

How can I not worry about this?

Zhao Kangping knew that Aunt Yun was concerned about him, and his heart warmed.

He said, "Don't worry, I have my own plans."

Having said that, the beautiful woman still found it difficult to control her emotions.

Their eyes met, filled with boundless affection. He gave her a reassuring look, then grasped her defenseless hand, gently caressing it.

"Okay, fine, I believe you." Embarrassed by his stare, she shyly turned her eyes away.

At this time, Qi Honglian was fed a mouthful of dog food and couldn't stand it anymore.

She tiptoed away, thinking not to disturb the couple's affectionate moment, but also to avoid her senior sister's rebuke.

But she had only taken a few steps when a somewhat cold hand pressed on her shoulder.

Then Nangong Ruyun's cold voice sounded: "Stop, where are you going?"

"You haven't told me where this Pixiu came from?"

The more strange the Pixiu statue looked to her, the more she wanted to know more about it.

Nangong Ruyun pressed on Qi Honglian's shoulders with great force, and she felt her shoulder bones creaking.

Qi Honglian's face was covered in sweat. She trembled and told everything she knew: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

About five or six years ago, Qi Honglian discovered a special small secret realm.

Its entrance is located in a deserted town.

She had been traveling when she saw this small town hidden in the mountains from a high altitude.

The town had long been covered with weeds and was littered with broken walls.

She didn't know how the town was destroyed or when it happened.

This small town is not on the map. It has become like this simply because it was massacred by bandits, attacked by monsters, or even wiped out by evil cultivators.

There was no unusual atmosphere in the ruins of the town, and it looked no different from an ordinary abandoned town.

But Qi Honglian discovered an entrance to a secret realm in the only big well in the town.

She entered this secret place and found that it was actually the cave of a senior cultivator.

However, it seems that someone has visited it before, and there is basically nothing left.

This Pixiu statue was found in that cave.

At that time, Qi Honglian was still smug about her luck. Who knew it would turn out to be such a bad luck?

Then she started complaining about her bad luck in recent years.

Not only did she lose money gambling repeatedly, but the spirit stones she had hidden under a tree were gone every time she went back. The spirit stones she had borrowed from her apprentice were lost before she could even spend them.

There are so many things like this that it is impossible to list them all.

"Wow, I'm so unlucky." As she spoke, she began to cry bitterly.

But Nangong Ruyun didn't think she deserved sympathy.

Qi Honglian, a cultivator who has reached the stage of transformation into a god, is actually a pauper. He has sold all the magic weapons, magical instruments, elixirs and other things on him that could be sold, but it still cannot fill the hole.

So her senior sister agreed to help her pay off her debts, and she was very touched.

Even if she was asked to kneel down and call her mother, she would do it.

However, Nangong Ruyun did not want this unlucky child as her daughter.

"Senior Sister, I don't know how to repay you."

"Can you let me be your maidservant and serve you for the rest of my life?"

She knelt beside her senior sister, hugged her long legs and rubbed them pitifully.

But why is it a dowry maid?

Nangong Ruyun hadn't been sure before, but she suddenly realized it.

In fact, when they were in Chuanliu City, Qi Honglian often asked her about her and Zhao Kangping.

Also, she kept stealing glances at Zhao Kangping from time to time, and she began to become suspicious.

She must have intentions towards Ping'er, and may even be lusting after his body.

"That's not necessary. I don't need any maidservants as a dowry."

"Then a bed warmer will do."

Bed-warmer? Whose bed do you warm?

Nangong Ruyun raised her fist and waved it, "Do you see what this is?"

The words were full of threats.

Qi Honglian shrank her neck, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she pouted in grievance.

When she was little, she was disobedient and her senior sister would teach her a lesson on behalf of her master. So she was very afraid of her senior sister.

"Wow!" Qi Honglian covered her head and ran away crying.

Nangong Ruyun looked at her junior sister's receding figure and shook her head: "She is really spoiled. She is still like a child now."

"When she makes a mistake, there's always someone to clean up after her. That's how it's become."

When Master was alive, he doted on her a lot. Not only Master, but other senior sisters also treated her like a younger sister and loved her.

Qi Honglian was the youngest of their disciples, the youngest among the group of disciples led by the master and her uncles.
