The dim and damp straw hut was filled with a stench.
Gao Fei stood beside the latrine, looking at the small gourd in his hand with a very surprised expression, "Are you really a demon?"
"Yes, I am a demon!" A hurried voice ca from the gourd, "I swear to heaven, I really am a demon! If you don't believe... just let out to see..."
"What kind of demon are you?"
"My true form is... a yellow weasel..."
"What? A yellow weasel? You're a yellow weasel?!"
"Yes, I am a yellow weasel."
"No wonder you're so sly, so you're a yellow weasel," Gao Fei cursed, "Yellow weasels and foxes, both famously cunning and tricky."
"I am much better than a fox, I never do bad things..."
"I am asking you, what is a mber of the Demon Race doing in the Human Territory?"
"You might not believe it if I tell you, I'm here to sightsee, I heard a long ti ago that the Human Territory has beautiful scenery, I've always wanted to co and see."
"You're fooling a three-year-old," Gao Fei snorted. "You'd better tell the truth, or I'll start getting unpleasant."
"What I'm saying is the truth."
"You won't cry until you see the coffin," Gao Fei flicked his finger, and the small gourd flew toward the latrine.
"No! Don't throw it!" Immortal Master Huang cried out in alarm, "I'll tell you... I'll tell you, isn't that okay... I'm here to hunt for treasure..."
"Swoosh!"
Gao Fei reached out and drew in a breath, and the small gourd flew back to him, landing steadily in the palm of his hand.
"I am really scared of you now," Immortal Master Huang said bitterly. "All my life, I've never seen soone like you, soone who doesn't reason."
"Enough, no more nonsense," Gao Fei shook the small gourd, "you just said... you ca to the Human Territory for treasure hunting? What treasure?"
"It is..."
"You'd better think carefully before you answer, if you lie to again, I'll throw you into the latrine."
"...threatening with a stinking latrine, you really are one of a kind," Immortal Master Huang grumbled.
"What's that? By the sound of it, are you thinking of retaliating against ?"
"No, I didn't an that, please don't misunderstand, I'm just venting, nothing more... ah, where were we? Oh, right, talking about treasure hunting! About a year ago, I got a map, which showed a tall mountain with an ancient tomb beneath it, and there is a Spiritual Treasure in the tomb... After researching lots of materials, I finally confird...
the mountain drawn on the map is located in the Human Territory..."
"Spiritual Treasure? Are you sure it is a Spiritual Treasure?" Gao Fei's eyes lit up.
"The map has a description in a very ancient language, it took a long ti to translate... The rough aning of the text says that there is a Spiritual Treasure in the ancient tomb, and it's an Innate Spiritual Treasure with trendous power. I ca to the Human Territory for this Spiritual Treasure. As soon as I arrived in the Human Territory, I was attacked by a group of Cultivators.
After a fierce battle, I killed all the Cultivators but was severely injured myself... And when I was at my weakest, I ran into Cao Buwei, he caught off guard and trapped with this small gourd..." Immortal Master Huang said indignantly.
Treasures are classified as Magic Artifacts, Treasures, and Spiritual Treasures.
Spiritual Treasures are the top-tier treasures in the Mortal World, second only to Immortal Artifacts. Any Spiritual Treasure can move mountains and fill seas with its power.
Spiritual Treasures are divided into Innate Spiritual Treasures and Acquired Spiritual Treasures; Innate Spiritual Treasures are nurtured by heaven and earth, while Acquired Spiritual Treasures are Refining by humans. Comparatively, of course, Innate Spiritual Treasures are sowhat mightier.
Whether it is an Innate Spiritual Treasure or an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, both are extrely rare, and ordinary people simply cannot possess them.
Only those with great power can own one or two of them.
...
"An Innate Spiritual Treasure, huh? That's a good item!" Gao Fei muttered to himself. He had an incredible treasure on him, which was the Thousand Transformations Stone, capable of transforming into various types of Weapons, and Gao Fei had always suspected... that the Thousand Transformations Stone was a Spiritual Treasure.
"Little brother, let's make a deal," Immortal Master Huang said. "You release , and I will take you treasure hunting. If we really find an Innate Spiritual Treasure, I will give it to you, how about that?"
"Hehe..." Gao Fei laughed. "Are you willing to part with it? That's an Innate Spiritual Treasure, you know? There are hardly a few in the entire Elysium."
"Of course, I'm reluctant," Immortal Master Huang said with a wry smile. "To escape this trap, I can only abandon the Innate Spiritual Treasure. It's a move of desperation." He then added, "You release , and I will take you to find the Innate Spiritual Treasure, and then I will also give you two hundred thousand Athysts."
"Such tempting terms," Gao Fei smirked. "I'm almost tempted."
"Since you're tempted, just hurry up and release ."
"What about the map?"
"The map? Ah... it's on . If you're interested, I will give it to you, but first... you have to release ."
"For the sake of freeing yourself, you're really willing to pay a hefty price."
"If it were you, you'd do the sa," Immortal Master Huang sighed. "Losing freedom... it's truly painful!"
"Logically, with the generous terms you've offered, I should agree," Gao Fei smacked his lips. "But... I feel so unease deep inside."
"Why the unease? What's troubling you?" Immortal Master Huang asked. "Have you run into so trouble? Tell , and I'll help you solve it!"
"My unease... cos from you."
"?"
"Weasels have a reputation for being cunning and crafty. Now, you're trapped in a gourd, all polite and offering a bundle of benefits. If I release you and you regain your freedom, heh... you might break the promise and kill to silence ," Gao Fei said.
"No! Absolutely not! I can swear! Swear a poisonous oath!!!"
"What's the use of swearing a poisonous oath? If you break your promise, could the heavens really strike you down with thunder?"
"I..."
"Such vows, they're just for fooling the naive. No one with a bit of smarts would believe them."
"Then you tell , what should we do? I'll listen to you!"
"..." Gao Fei pondered for a mont. "You give so benefits first, to show your sincerity, then I can believe you."
"All my belongings are in the Demon Territory. If you don't mind the trouble... you could go to the Demon Territory..."
"I will go to the Demon Territory soday, but right now... I don't want to go."
"Then..."
"I'm very interested in that Innate Spiritual Treasure. You guide to find the Innate Spiritual Treasure," Gao Fei said with a smile.
"That..."
"What? Not willing?"
"Willing, of course I'm willing! Release and I will take you to hunt for treasure."
"No, you just stay in the gourd. Just tell the general direction, and I will go find it myself."
"You still don't trust , do you."
"Guide to the Innate Spiritual Treasure, and I will trust you."
"...You have to keep your word."
"Don't worry, I always keep my word!" Gao Fei assured, patting his chest.
