“Behold, the magic treasure!”

After Lin Bei shouted, he flicked his right hand, and a silver light flew out like a moon wheel.

The chubby boy behind him vaguely saw that it was a round, disc-shaped magical instrument. Its spiritual power didn’t seem particularly strong, and it didn’t fly towards the Hakutaku cub, but instead whirled into the nearby bushes.

Did he miss his aim?

And his aim was way off! The boy couldn’t help but grumble in his heart.

But what was miraculous was that as the magical instrument flew away, the Hakutaku cub swiftly chased after it, disappearing like a bolt of lightning!

“Huh?” The chubby boy was inexplicably shocked, not understanding the principle of the magical instrument.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and get the clue!” Lin Bei quickly pointed to the giant rock nearby.

“Oh, right!” The chubby boy then ran over, gathered his true energy and pushed the giant rock, revealing a corner of the cave. Sweating profusely, he didn’t bother to wipe it off and quickly crawled into the cave.

Although there were also formations inside, no matter what, he wouldn’t be knocked away by the Hakutaku cub again. If nothing went wrong, he should be able to smoothly find the third clue.

Seeing the task completed, Lin Bei finally smiled slightly and turned towards the direction where the Hakutaku cub had flown away.

Deep in the dense forest, Chu Liang was squatting there, stroking the Hakutaku cub, “You did very well just now, keep it up! Be quick, accurate, and ruthless! Your strength needs to be a bit more precise…”

Shang Ziliang and his followers were also there. Seeing Lin Bei happily returning, Shang Ziliang immediately went over and said, “You’ve done it once? It’s my turn now!”

With that, he also took his flying disc and set off to wait for his target.

After a while, the Hakutaku cub suddenly stood up, let out a couple of “hurrah” sounds, and darted away like lightning.

Chu Liang waved at its retreating figure, “Go! Little Hakutaku!”

Initially, he felt a bit guilty for indirectly increasing the workload of the Hakutaku cub by selling clues and attracting so many teams.

Originally, it only needed to serve a few teams, but now almost half of the people from Shu Mountain were coming.

Chu Liang was thinking about how to compensate the Hakutaku cub, and then he thought, why not strengthen it a bit. Then he had another idea, why not give it a major boost, keep everyone out, and then take over the task himself?

Huh?

Chu Liang was startled by this thought.

He didn’t intend to make a fortune, but his thoughts uncontrollably went in that direction… It was almost becoming an instinct.

However, he didn’t take action himself this time, but let Lin Bei and Shang Ziliang handle it. The sword coins they earned, Chu Liang didn’t plan to share, he would give them all to them.

These brothers had been busy for so many days, they were also the founding members, it was only right to give them more benefits.

And this kind of activity of substituting for the Hakutaku cub, probably couldn’t be done too many times.

After all, everyone was getting smarter now, and it wouldn’t take long for the third clue in the cave to be spread out.

And even if the Hakutaku cub was fully armed, some teams didn’t need help. For example, Jiang Yuebai and Xu Ziyang, they were all capable of single-handedly taking on the Hakutaku cub. Following them, some teams could also sneak in.

So Chu Liang estimated that this time substituting for the Hakutaku wouldn’t earn too much, probably the brothers would earn a few hundred sword coins at most.

Thinking about this, he felt a bit melancholic.

A few months ago, he felt that the flying sword worth three hundred sword coins was too expensive. Now, a few hundred sword coins were nothing to him.

It’s all about entrepreneurship.

If he had been diligently doing tasks, he didn’t know how long it would take to save up these sword coins.

Just then, the sound of a flying disc whistling came from the side, and the silver light flew over again, with the Hakutaku cub rushing towards it.

Shang Ziliang also completed a substitution, happily returning, his eyes full of admiration when he looked at Chu Liang. He didn’t know how Chu Liang’s brain worked, why it was full of so many ingenious ideas.

……

Meanwhile.

In the icy and snowy land of the North, two figures, one large and one small, were in a standoff.

“Eat something, even if you are a Ba, you can’t always go without food.” The middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat coaxed, “You don’t want to sleep in the ice coffin, moving around outside will consume spiritual power, you need to replenish some, otherwise it won’t be convenient to run when something happens.”

“No…”

The little girl in front of him pouted and shook her head firmly.

On the ground lay the corpse of a large bear, its blood flowing out and instantly freezing.

These two were none other than the Whale Rider Immortal mentioned in the Seven Stars Mansion report, and the little girl he had taken away from the South Sea.

The surrounding snow was heavy, and the cold wind was biting, reaching a point where life was forbidden. Even the beasts with the thickest fur would instantly be turned into ice sculptures by the wind blades here.

But these two were wearing simple clothes, seemingly oblivious to the cold.

“Do you only want to eat fruit?” The Whale Rider Immortal was quite helpless.

Facing a seventh realm powerhouse, he was calm and composed, dismissing the opponent with a wave of his hand. But facing the little girl, he was full of helplessness.

“Hmm!” This time the little girl nodded heavily.

“Didn’t I also find fruit for you?” The Whale Rider Immortal pointed to the two golden fruits on the ground, which seemed to be extraordinary spiritual plants.

“Want… good… fruit.”

The little girl probably wanted to say she wanted delicious fruit, but her speech was still a bit unclear.

“What should I do…” The Whale Rider Immortal rubbed his hands, “Those girls from the Taiyin Sect are chasing me too closely, you saw it that day. We can’t even fly now, we can only walk on foot in this icy and snowy land, where can I find that kind of fruit for you?”

“You… not scared.” The little girl said again.

“Hehe, of course I’m not afraid of them.” The Whale Riding Immortal laughed arrogantly, then sighed helplessly, “But you are. Once your whereabouts are exposed, people from all over the nine heavens and ten earths will immediately come to capture you. By then, there won’t be any good fruits for you to eat.”

“Hmph.” The little girl seemed very angry. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Finally, she plopped down in the snow, hugging her shoulders. Because the snow was so thick, half of her body sank into it, becoming a small black dot in the snow.

“Be good.” The Whale Riding Immortal held her head and rubbed it, “I promise you, as soon as the storm passes, I will take you to Shu Mountain to find good fruits, okay?”

The little girl pouted, and after a while, she nodded: “Hmm.”

“Let’s go! We need to get to the Sacred Mountain in the north. There might be treasures there that can resolve your calamity. Then you can play freely outside like a normal child.”

The Whale Riding Immortal simply took off his bamboo hat, picked up the little girl, and let her straddle his neck, carrying her forward.

“I was thinking about what name to give you. You love fruits so much, so let’s call you Jiang Guo.”

“Girls are really hard to raise. If you were a boy, I would have definitely beaten you just now, forcing you to eat. Sigh, but what can I do if I don’t spoil a girl?”

“I also have a daughter. I didn’t see her when she was young, but I guess she was probably like you.”

“All the girls in our Jiang family have this kind of temperament, it’s a family trait.”

“Oh, she inherited it from you.”

“…”

He kept muttering like this, stepping into the snow-covered sacred mountain that towered like a cloud, with seven feet of snow flying towards the sky.

…

Seeing that the situation at Pagoda Peak had stabilized, Chu Liang returned to Silver Sword Peak and continued to concentrate on his cultivation.

Now he had gradually mastered more divine techniques. Apart from the Dragon Blood Secret Method which only required breathing, the others also needed time to cultivate.

But just as he started, someone came looking for him again.

He opened his eyes and looked outside, seeing a gentle old man in a white robe standing quietly on the hillside.

The Law Enforcement Elder?

Chu Liang looked at the old man’s face, feeling a bit strange, but in his memory, this was the Law Enforcement Elder he had met before.

So he hurriedly went out to greet him, bowing respectfully: “Disciple has seen the Law Enforcement Elder! Is the Law Enforcement Elder here to see my master?”

“No, I’m here to see you.” The Law Enforcement Elder said indifferently.

Huh? Chu Liang was puzzled for a moment.

Before he could ask, the Law Enforcement Elder continued: “I don’t know if you know, but I am the one who organized this Mountain God Festival.”

“Ah.” Upon hearing this, Chu Liang felt a chill in his heart.

This is bad.

He’s come to my door!

Good morning.

The debt is reduced to 42, those with monthly tickets, please vote, thank you.
