"You human, you are quite interesting. You dare to insult me as a beast, so what are you? Where does your confidence come from to be so arrogant towards me? You better provide a valid reason; if you can't convince me, then today I will make you die here and roast you to eat. Although the flesh of the Qi Master is sour, it can enhance my cultivation and elevate my power." The Treasure Guardian Beast moved, rising from the Gold and Silver Jewelry and shaking itself.
Its movement caused the surrounding Gold and Silver Jewelry to clatter and fall.
Lu Chen did not back down, speaking sternly: "Indeed, not only are you a beast lacking in etiquette, but you also have no shame or self-awareness. You occupy the mountain as your treasure, thinking highly of yourself; you are nothing but a robber. You go against fate and act recklessly; a barbaric creature like you deserves to be dealt with, struck down by lightning."
The Treasure Guardian Beast was furious, but at that moment, it found itself unable to respond. Its Dao Heart was completely obstructed by Lu Chen, and its state of mind was shaken; this was more painful than being captured and whipped.
"Life? You dare to call yourself life? On what basis? I am an Ancient Jade spirit, the guardian Pixiu of treasures, a descendant of the True Dragon's Nine Offspring, cultivated from the Imperial Treasury Seal of the Han Dynasty. The former Han Dynasty Court is my home; naturally, the money in the Treasury belongs to me. Why should I be called a robber for claiming what is rightfully mine?"
This Treasure Guardian Beast argued its case, revealing its background. It turned out that this Treasure Guardian Beast was originally a piece of Ancient Jade carved into the Treasury seal of the former Han Dynasty Court. After absorbing the essence of the sun and moon during this winter, it cultivated itself into a Void Immortal.
Without its reversed cultivation, its intelligence was equivalent to that of a ten-year-old child.
"I am a Royal Descendant of the Former Dynasty, a sworn brother of Sun Zizhao from the Sun Family. I have come in accordance with fate to collect this batch of treasures. What I uphold is destiny. Currently, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, we are nearing the end of our century-long fortune; my Han people need this batch of treasures urgently. This is destiny. Originally, I had an item that could prove my identity called the Demon-Slaying Sword, but it is temporarily lent to someone else."
Lu Chen licked his lips and took another step forward, pointing at the Treasure Guardian Beast as he continued to shout: "You, as the seal of the Former Dynasty Treasury, do not seek your old master or repay kindness but instead occupy treasures here for your selfish cultivation. You are still a traitor! Do you understand loyalty to your country? How dare you call yourself a True Dragon's Nine Offspring? I see you are even worse than a dog!"
The Treasure Guardian Beast roared in anger and raised its paw to topple a pile of treasures, causing gold and silver coins to roll everywhere across the Underworld.
The Treasure Guardian Beast said: "You human certainly know how to talk. The royal family of the former dynasty indeed has the surname Sun; I have heard of the Demon-Slaying Sword as well—its status is even slightly higher than mine. However, I want to say that I am definitely not a traitor but a loyal minister. My loyalty can be witnessed by heaven and earth; otherwise, how could I have cultivated to this level?"
In its previous life, the Treasure Guardian Beast was the seal in the royal Treasury where all income and expenditure of Silver Coins required its stamp. However, its reputation was slightly lower than that of an official sword.
Lu Chen snorted lightly: "If you are a loyal minister, then you must demonstrate it through action; otherwise, no one will recognize you. The Royal Descendants of the Former Dynasty from the Sun Family are in the East Sea; you should go find them now and help them achieve great things and unify Central Plains."
Treasure Guardian Beast pondered for a moment before growling, "Human, your provocation is useless against me. I was loyal to the former Han Dynasty Court, but it has fallen, and I have gained my freedom. From now on, the great tides of fate have nothing to do with me. I will not leave this place, and do not try to scheme in front of me to seize my Treasure. I will not fall for your tricks."
The Treasure Guardian Beast suddenly became cunning, like a slippery old man, impervious to persuasion.
"You act against the natural order and will be condemned. You see the descendants of the Sun Family in peril and do nothing. Your mindset will surely develop obstacles because of this. Let's see how you get past this hurdle; your cultivation will only stagnate at Void Immortal. If you wish to become a Yin Immortal, you won't even find the door!"
Lu Chen boldly cursed the Treasure Guardian Beast. If its mindset were to develop obstacles, it would have no chance of becoming a Yin Immortal and would be stuck in place.
"Human, stop right there. I would rather not become a Yin Immortal than integrate into your treacherous world filled with deceit. My ancestors were deceived by humans, falling for your tricks, which led to their hopelessness in achieving Yin Immortal. I would rather quietly cultivate here, free and carefree. After all, we dragons can live for thousands of years; I refuse to believe there is no other way for me to become a Yin Immortal. Leave now while I am still calm; otherwise, prepare to be roasted."
With that, the Treasure Guardian Beast buried itself among the Gold and Silver Jewelry, leaving only its head exposed, its eyes glowing like lanterns, quite intimidating.
Dragons possess lifespans of several thousand years and can live for a very long time. Even if their Flesh becomes too old to move, they can undergo Corpse Dissolution Reincarnation and start anew.
Lu Chen blinked in surprise; he had wasted his breath without effect. This Treasure Guardian Beast feared the treacherous world of humans and looked down on deceitful schemes, resolutely refusing to leave.
"Alright, alright," Lu Chen repeated three times before continuing, "You stubborn creature, your infamy has just increased. You're just a coward; someone will come to deal with you—just wait."
Upon hearing this, the Treasure Guardian Beast snorted lightly and lazily closed its eyes, showing no concern for the pressure Lu Chen was trying to impose.
Having finished speaking, Lu Chen waved his sleeve and prepared to return and think of another plan.
In any case, he would not move against this Treasure Guardian Beast today; it had lived here for so long that it would not leave easily.
Moreover, Lu Chen himself had never intended to rely on such methods to sway it. This matter could not be rushed; it would have to be approached slowly.
Lu Chen had just taken two steps when a flash of black light appeared in the distance. Dust rose from the ground as an elderly man, around sixty years old and leaning on a cane, landed on the ground.
The man was dressed in a black robe, looking spirited and robust, showing no signs of aging.
"Lu Chenyu, your speed is indeed impressive; I am deeply impressed," the old man said as soon as he arrived, immediately acting as if he had known Lu Chen for a long time and greeted him warmly.
His cane looked extraordinarily heavy, striking the rocky ground with a clanging sound, solid and weighty. However, in the old man's hands, it seemed as light as a feather, easily lifted.
He frequently glanced into the cave, seemingly searching for something.
"May I ask who you are, senior?"
This old man exuded a powerful aura; almost instantly upon meeting him, Lu Chen recognized that this was the half Virtual Immortal Master he had encountered in Tebalzuo Town.
Even on his way to the Gobi Desert, he had occasionally sensed this man's presence—mysterious and elusive.
Although they had never met before, their intricate relationship suggested that they had undoubtedly crossed paths many times in secret.
The reason Lu Chen asked was to ascertain the man's identity. This individual was just one step away from becoming a Void Immortal; however, compared to the Treasure Guardian Beast, there was an undeniable gap between them.
"Hehehe, Lu Chenyu may not know me, but that's alright; you can just call me Boneless Old Man. As for where I come from, it doesn't matter. What matters is that we share the same goal," the old man chuckled slyly, his expression revealing his cunning nature.
Lu Chen licked his lips, feeling both amused and exasperated. He spread his hands to indicate that he had gained nothing. The Treasure Guardian Beast was so stubborn and unyielding; how could he easily achieve any results?
The old man's purpose was the same as his own—they were both here for the Treasure, something they both understood without needing further explanation.
The old man’s eyes lit up as he leaned his head to peer into the cave. Although the Treasure was right in front of him, the Treasure Guardian Beast was extremely dangerous. The old man really wanted the Treasure, but at this moment, he resolutely dared not act rashly.
“Bone Elder, why not give it a try? You might just stumble upon it, and then you can share some of the Treasure with me,” Lu Chen suggested from the side.
The old man smiled slyly, his eyes darting around like a mouse. “Of course, how could I harm someone who is leading the way like Lu Chenyu? I wouldn’t do something like that. However, you dare to come here alone; your skills are indeed impressive. Heroes emerge from youth, and I admire you.”
The old man flattered Lu Chen in return, glancing into the cave a few more times before pulling back, his brow furrowing in shock.
“Bone Elder, are you confident?” Lu Chen asked.
The old man shook his head. “I have no confidence; this aura is too powerful. If I’m not mistaken, it must be a Virtual Immortal Master—extremely rare and truly terrifying. We can only join forces.”
Then, the old man chuckled again. “But it’s too dark inside the cave; my old eyes are failing me, and I can’t see anything. I only see two lanterns swaying.”
The old man immediately proposed joining forces to seize the treasure; the Treasure Guardian Beast was too formidable to tackle alone. This was the only way. If they didn’t cooperate, they wouldn’t get even a single hair.
Lu Chen understood the old man’s meaning and knew that cooperation was inevitable. He paused for a moment and said, “Bone Elder, you can step in a bit further to take a look. This fellow is weary of the mortal world and doesn’t get angry easily; generally, it won’t be provoked.”
