Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 606 - 396: Evil Money Copper Plate, Wu Gou Miao Yin (2nd Update, Please Subscribe!)

"This old monster must have quite a bit of savings. I have no interest in anything else except the treasure bead in his belly, which greatly complements the Cultivation Technique I practice. How about you two giving it to me?"

As soon as his telepathic message ended, it was met with rejection and mockery from the other two.

"Old Deng, do you think we are ignorant? You speak these deceptive words. What kind of savings could the Wutong Old Monster have? It's nothing more than toad piss and shit. The only valuable thing he has is that bead, and if it's truly the one from the rumors, it's a magnificent item that could achieve Dao. Even the Heavenly King wouldn't let it go."

"Wutong himself has boasted that what he obtained is the Toad Pearl, lost by the Nine Toad Sect, a top-tier treasure in the world. If I were to consume it, I might even cultivate a Swallowing Sky Ghost. That bead is definitely mine."

The two revealed the Turtle Demon's plan, thinking he would be ashamed.

However, Deng Xuechao just laughed heartily and transmitted another message:

"Hahaha... So the two of you Daoists were eyeing such a beautiful opportunity?"

"Nine Toad Bead?"

"You believe the Wutong Old Monster's self-praise?"

"You should know that the Toad Sect is one of the top-ranked side doors, strong enough to compete with most of the Twelve Daoist Sects, and the Nine Toad Bead is their Sect's sacred treasure. If the Wutong Old Monster really had such a treasure, how could he only have such mediocre mana? He would either have the power to swallow mountains and cities or would have joined the Nine Toad Sect instead of being a struggling Loose Cultivator."

"Not to mention other things, you both should know that disciples of the Toad Sect can pick up various treasures anywhere, especially if they can obtain a Toad Pearl, their blessings reach the sky."

"Look at Wutong, does he have such treatment?"

"Remember the Warrant that Gao Wanchou issued to you two? On it, a Spirit Treasure Daoist had a Toad Pearl. He steps outside and picks up two Ancestor God Treasures."

"What does Wutong get when he goes out? Only piss and shit paving the way."

These words were quite reasonable.

Li Fengxian and Qu Zhongyuan fell into silence, utterly unable to refute.

They couldn't help but doubt: Could it be that the treasure bead inside the Wutong Old Monster isn't a Nine Toad Bead?

It was no surprise they thought this way, as there indeed was no evidence to prove the bead's origin.

Even the scheming Turtle Demon, coaxing them at the moment, harbored the same doubts, though it didn't affect his actions.

Whether it was or not, he would snatch it first.

Even if it was not, it must still be quite an extraordinary treasure.

With this thought, the Turtle Demon continued to concoct new evidence to deceive them:

"I'd hate to hide it from you two, but Old Deng actually knows the origin of that bead."

"Wutong, originally named Liu Le'an, his whole mana and even his Daoist title, come from a book, 'Wutong Immortal Technique'."

"And that bead, called the Wutong Toad Pearl, is the condensation of his whole body's essence, mana, and soul."

"This bead is of little use to you two, but for Old Deng me, who practices a book called 'Water Uncle's Pulse Gathering Scripture,' a secret scripture of the Devil Clan, which involves the Cultivation of absorbing the bloodlines of other Devil Clan members. Over these decades, my practice has nearly reached perfection; only a few rare ones, including the Wutong Toad, are still needed."

"If the two of you Daoists would relinquish this bead to Old Deng, consider it a favor owed to you, and I shall repay you handsomely in the future."

Deng Xuechao supposed that his well-reasoned argument would certainly land the bead in his hands.

But he didn't know, Qu Zhongyuan and Li Fengxian nominally nodded in agreement.

Secretly, they also transmitted:

"This Turtle Demon is a smooth talker, not to be trusted."

"Yes, how about after we kill Wutong later, we first snatch the bead to verify it before we decide?"

"Excellent! Let's do that."

The intrigues of the Three Demons were all seen by Tao Qian.

In fact, this was also due to his covert manipulation.

The reason why he didn't immediately let Wutong mutate and unleash a massacre was naturally because of the plot arrangement.

He and Yunrong, posed as a Buddhist couple, needed time.

It could not be that Duan Yuhong issued a Cloud Scroll and they would appear instantaneously.

Not even the Great Freedom Heart Light Escape is that fast.

Moreover, Tao Qian reflected on himself: Previously, the crafting of various aliases was rather perfunctory, casually created and formed.

This time, he planned to put in more effort.

Apart from the leverage gained from spongeing off the Haotian Divine Mirror, he also, through the Golden Radiance Token, asked his Master to arrange in advance the life and story for him and Yunrong, who would soon appear as the Buddhist couple.

In other words, this time if someone checked, aside from unassailable appearance and aura, they would also find the additional, whether prediction or local investigation.

It would reveal one result: in the South Sea Territory, there indeed was a Buddhist couple.

"The only problem is I don't know what kind of messy background story my Master will arrange for me and Yunrong. Something feels a bit off."

...

Meanwhile, inside the City Lord Mansion, where the situation was somewhat tense.

In the rear hall's bridal room, Gao Buxi, only in his undershirt, looked shamefully at his wife sitting again on the ceremonial chair.

Evidently, he was still quick and brief.

However, this time, he had an excuse. With a sweep of his Divine Thought, he immediately pointed towards the main hall and righteously said:

"My lady should see, it's all because of Wutong. What a time to mutate, just now. Who can stand that noise? Truly a cursed filthy creature."

"Let me handle him first and then return to entangle passionately with my lady. Then, I promise to exert twelve times the effort until my lady cries for mercy."

Having said that, Gao Buxi stood up to take the Xuan Yin Blood Frost Saber.

Murderous and ready to slay the Wutong Toad.

Unfortunately, before he could act, a haze of fragrant mist arose, triggering his desires, and his anguished yet joyful wife transmitted to him:
