Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 209: The Treasure Found Astonishes Tian Peng
Tian Peng was full of lofty ambitions and determination; that braised pork, he had resolved to eat today!
Chen Nuo nodded, feeling rather amused by the thought.
He wondered how Tian Peng would face pork if he knew his own fate?
Turning to Xiong Daoren, Chen Nuo softly asked, "What about you?"
Xiong Daoren hemmed and hawed, saying very cautiously, "I’ll have the same as Brother Peng!"
Whatever Brother Peng ate, he would eat. Just follow along and everything would be fine; he definitely couldn’t go wrong.
"Then let’s make the payment," Chen Nuo said as he nodded.
Upon hearing this, Tian Peng dashed straight to the crystal ball and expertly took out the treasure he had found from the Jade Column Cave.
Although his account still had quite a few points,
he still felt that only when the items were in Shopkeeper Chen’s hands could he finally feel at ease.
[Ding! Recharge successful. You have obtained a Quasi-Saint level replica of the Lingering Immortal Sword (damaged), convertible into 50 dining opportunities. Would you like to convert it into the corresponding Merit Points?]
The Lingering Immortal Sword? Isn’t that one of the swords from the Executioner Immortal Four Sword set?
Even as a replica, to be at the Quasi-Saint level was no longer of Mortal Grade!
He had no idea where Tian Peng had gotten this sword from. Since it was a replica, there must be a maker right?
Tian Peng himself was a bit stunned. He had a premonition that this Magical Treasure would be quite powerful, but who would have thought?
It could actually be worth 50 dining opportunities!
This was almost as much as that mysterious black object he got last time!
Amidst his excitement, he sighed deeply. Had he known, he would not have so easily given the other two swords to Xiaotian Dog.
Now, he had let Xiaotian Dog freeload 50 times. What a loss!
However, shocks often come together. After seeing Tian Peng recharge, Xiong Daoren also stepped forward and placed his sword onto the crystal ball.
[Ding! Recharge successful. You have obtained a Quasi-Saint level replica of the Trap Immortal Sword (damaged), convertible into 50 dining opportunities. Would you like to convert it into the corresponding Merit Points?]
"Wow! This Magical Treasure is actually worth 50 dining opportunities!" Xiong Daoren exclaimed in surprise, his bearish face full of excitement.
This was a fortune!
For a while, he wouldn’t have to worry about money for dining at Chaos Residence, and Xiong Daoren gratefully glanced at Tian Peng.
If it weren’t for Brother Peng, where would he have gotten such a great Magical Treasure to recharge with?
But Xiong Daoren overlooked one thing: without him, with the strength of Tian Peng and Xiaotian Dog, whether they could even get in was a question.
Another sword?
Chen Nuo was a bit dumbfounded. Where on earth had Tian Peng and Xiong Daoren gone treasure hunting?
How could such high-quality Magical Treasures be discarded so casually for Tian Peng and his group to find?
Moreover, the Executioner Immortal Four Sword set is supposed to be a matching set, right?
If there are already two, then...
For a moment, an image of a cheap-looking dog flitted through Chen Nuo’s mind.
Xiaotian Dog!
Those two swords might be with him.
A Magical Treasure worth fifty dining opportunities!
Ao Ling caught her breath, admitting to herself that she felt a twinge of jealousy. How many gems would it take to afford so many uses, she wondered!
For a moment, Ao Ling felt somewhat heartbroken.
"Where exactly did you get these Magical Treasures from?" Chen Nuo couldn’t help but ask aloud.
Recalling the event, Tian Peng replied, "From a place called the Jade Column Cave."
He didn’t hide anything, for ultimately the Magical Treasures would end up in Shopkeeper Chen’s hands, so knowing their origin wouldn’t matter.
Jade Column Cave?
Chen Nuo frowned and pondered for a moment.
Then, his face showed a hint of surprise.
Jade Column Cave in Zhongnan Mountain, isn’t that the cave abode of Yun Zhongzi, the Fortune Virtue Golden Immortal of the Chan School?
No wonder!
Chen Nuo nodded, no wonder it was a replica of the Executioner Immortal Four Swords.
Yun Zhongzi’s artificing skills were indeed among the top in the Three Realms.
He had replicated many famous Magical Treasures.
So replicating the Executioner Immortal Four Swords was nothing strange, was it?
But that being said, were Tian Peng and the other two committing burglary?
Chen Nuo’s mouth twitched.
Yun Zhongzi was Erlang Shen Yang Jian’s uncle in teachings, and Xiaotian Dog led Tian Peng and the others here to steal Magical Treasures—weren’t they setting up their own kin?
There was no need to think twice about it; the guide must have been the Xiaotian Dog who possessed the Myriad Scent Heavenly Spirit Ability.
Typical owned abodes of the Immortal Clans were protected with Formations and restrictions, which was where Xiong Daoren came in handy. He was also an inheritor of the Mysterious Heavenly Formation Armor, so naturally, he understood how powerful this ability was, the master of Formations!
I just knew something would go wrong with these three together,
I didn’t expect they’d get together and do something so despicable!
Regarding this, Chen Nuo only wanted to say, nicely done, he didn’t care whose Magical Treasures they were.
If they ended up in his hands, there was no reason to spit them back out.
Even if Tian Peng and the others stole the genuine Executioner Immortal Four Swords, he would dare to take them in.
Chen Nuo smiled faintly and shook his head, of course, that was just talk.
The genuine ones would be too much even for Tian Peng and his gang to steal.
The Executioner Immortal Four Swords were each kept by Chan School’s twelve Golden Immortals: Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, True Man of the Jade Tripod, Daohang Celestial Lord, and they were scattered all over.
Moreover, they were all meticulously safeguarded. True Man of the Jade Tripod himself was a sword enthusiast, and the Trap Immortal Sword was probably becoming his exclusive weapon.
Seeing Chen Nuo’s strange expression, Tian Peng curiously asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, what happened?"
"Nothing," Chen Nuo gently shook his head.
He had no intention of telling Tian Peng and the others the truth. Ignorance is bliss, after all; if they knew, they probably wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep in peace.
After a pause, Chen Nuo spoke again, "Where is Xiaotian Dog?"
Weren’t Tian Peng and the others all supposed to be together?
"Who knows?" Tian Peng shrugged and spread his hands.
"We usually split up after treasure hunting; maybe he’s frolicking near the Guan River Mouth!" Tian Peng said offhandedly.
It seemed there were many female dogs around Guan River Mouth. He remembered that someone had even specifically come to report.
One must say, from a dog’s perspective, Xiaotian Dog’s romantic luck was truly not shallow.
Chen Nuo did not speak, but he felt a bit of regret in his heart. He had hoped to play with all four Executioner Immortal Swords at once, but it seemed that was not to be.
He could only wait for Xiaotian Dog’s next visit, hoping he would bring the other two swords.
"Yang Jian, where are you taking us?" Xiaotian Dog, battling the breeze with its drooping upper lip nearly being blown askew, revealing its long, sharp canine teeth.
There was no helping it; with Yang Jian’s Great Luo cultivation, he flew too fast.
But, just a fierce wind couldn’t harm Xiaotian Dog, so it didn’t bother to block it.
Xiaotian Dog felt a bit puzzled in his heart; this direction seemed oddly familiar, though Yang Jian gave no response.
"We’re here." After a while, Yang Jian descended from the clouds and spoke.
"That was quick." Xiaotian Dog didn’t think much of it and directly jumped down to the ground.
But upon seeing the scenery before him, the dog was completely stunned.
Fuck, wasn’t this the place where he and Tian Peng had committed the heist?!
Jade Column Cave!
Turning his head, Xiaotian Dog asked somewhat frantically, "Yang Jian, what are you bringing me to this place for?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"To refine a Magical Treasure! Didn’t we agree on that?" Yang Jian said indifferently, moving to step forward.
Xiaotian Dog was completely dumbfounded. Jade Column Cave, was it Yun Zhongzi’s cave abode?
Good heavens, they had stolen treasures from the home of their own kin.
In an instant, Xiaotian Dog felt a chill up his spine. Although Xiong Daoren had assured nothing would go wrong, that didn’t stop the unsettling feeling!
Who could truly guarantee such a thing?
Time to slip away, turning his butt around, Xiaotian Dog cautiously moved his stiff limbs, treading carefully in the opposite direction.
