Late at night, somewhere on Zhangwei Mountain.
Luo Xiu sat cross-legged in his room, eyes closed in a brief rest. He had previously used Elysian Nether Earth to resurrect Tuof, the Half-step Earth Immortal, who then self-destructed twice in succession. As a result, Luo Xiu's Divine Sense was severely depleted, and all he wanted was to fall into a deep sleep.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Dou Dou ran into the room cheerfully. "Chen Shuisheng, look!"
She waved her little hand, and a jumble of items spilled out from her Storage Magical Treasure, piling up high on the floor.
Luo Xiu took a deep breath, forcing himself to rally. Looking at the massive pile, he couldn't help but exclaim, "After all, he was from the Upper Realm. What a jackpot. He dropped so much loot."
Then, the two of them began to tally the spoils.
But it wasn't long before Luo Xiu felt like cursing. He found that most of it was useless stuff. At least, for someone like him who had grown up on Ghost Valley Mountain, Zhu Hong's belongings were of no damn use. This left Luo Xiu extremely disappointed.
It was clear that Zhu Hong really didn't have much status in the Upper Realm.
Moreover, Luo Xiu discovered that Zhu Hong had some peculiar hobbies. It wouldn't be wrong to call him a pervert.
"This rotten pig's foot from the Upper Realm, why was he hiding so many women's bellybands?"
"He even has stockings."
"This Heavenly God is a huge pervert. Not pure at all!"
"..."
Dou Dou used a small stick to poke through the large pile of women's undergarments, continuously cursing the deceased Zhu Hong.
Who knows where Zhu Hong even stole them from.
"Chen Shuisheng, don't you want these treasures? They're really good stuff, you know."
Luo Xiu curled his lip. "Please. I'm a pervert, and even I think he's a creep."
"No, I was talking about these bottles and jars."
"Nah... I don't need those either. They're just ordinary elixirs and Magical Treasures. You can keep them to play with."
"Hee hee, then I won't be polite!"
Just then, Luo Xiu felt a warmth on his neck. Before he could react, the vase flew out from his Holy Lotus Jade Pendant on its own.
Luo Xiu was taken aback. The Holy Lotus Jade Pendant was his Storage Magical Treasure, and only he could freely take items out or put them in. Yet this vase had bypassed his control, moving on its own.
The vase hovered in the air, circling the pile of items on the floor a few times before suddenly emitting a gentle glow. A moment later, a palm-sized jade bottle flew out from the heap.
True to his sneaky nature, Luo Xiu was quick on the draw and immediately snatched the jade bottle.
The vase seemed to get angry and moved to strike Luo Xiu's head.
Luo Xiu quickly dodged. Weighing the jade bottle in his hand, he laughed and said, "For you to come out on your own, there must be something good in this bottle."
Then, a childish, milky voice echoed in Luo Xiu's mind, "Bad man, give that to Master Ping! It belongs to Master Ping!"
Luo Xiu exclaimed in surprise, "You actually have a Spiritual Sense?"
"Where? Where, where, where are the snacks?"
Upon hearing this, Dou Dou's eyes immediately sparkled, and her little head looked around in all directions. "Who has snacks? Let Dou Dou have some too!"
"..."
A moment later, after sending Dou Dou away, Luo Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed and unscrewed the jade bottle. An intoxicating fragrance immediately wafted out.
Lin Tong exclaimed, "This is actually Moonlight Divine Water!"
"Big Brother, it looks like this vase knows its stuff. Among all the junk that Heavenly God had, only this can be considered a real treasure."
"Of course! Would I, Master Ping, settle for rubbish?" a voice spoke from the vase. It wasn't a voice in Luo Xiu's mind but one that could be heard aloud. "After absorbing some blood from those two, Master Ping's Divine Sense has recovered a bit. Hey, kid, hurry up and give Master Ping the Moonlight Divine Water! My body needs it for repairs!"
How can a vase be so arrogant? he thought, looking at the cracks covering its surface. Its voice sounds like a child's, yet it has the audacity to call itself 'Master'.
At this time, Lin Tong spoke up. "Although you found this divine water, you wouldn't have found it if Big Brother hadn't killed that small fry from the Upper Realm."
The vase retorted angrily, "But if this kid hadn't used Master Ping to smash someone, I wouldn't have cracked!"
Lin Tong laughed. "My Big Brother is an extraordinary person! Using you to smash someone is an honor!"
"ARGH... Damn it! You're a mere Wandering Spirit, how dare you speak to Master Ping like that?"
Lin Tong replied, "What's wrong with being a Wandering Spirit? It's better than being a broken vase, right? In any case, my Big Brother is taking at least half of this Moonlight Divine Water."
"..."
After an intense argument, the vase eventually, and reluctantly, agreed to split it evenly. There was nothing it could do.
...
After absorbing half of the Moonlight Divine Water, many of the cracks on the vase's surface disappeared, and it regained some of its luster.
"Kid, Master Ping is going to rest now. Don't bother me for anything, and you most certainly will not use me to smash people again!"
Leaving these words behind, the vase flew into the Holy Lotus Jade Pendant.
Luo Xiu looked at the half bottle of Moonlight Divine Water in his hand and asked Lin Tong, "Do I just drink it directly?"
Lin Tong answered, "Big Brother, you probably can't handle so much right now. Try just one drop first. This Moonlight Divine Water can help enhance your Divine Sense, and as it is an extremely yin substance, it's also beneficial for your illness."
Luo Xiu didn't understand the details, but he trusted that Lin Tong wouldn't harm him.
So, he tentatively drank a single drop.
However, the moment that one drop went down, he began to tremble all over from the pain.
"What the... Why is this stuff so potent?"
Lin Tong chuckled. "Seems like even one drop was a bit too much."
"Big Brother, how's the taste?"
His face flushed and his head spinning, Luo Xiu thought for a good while before answering, "It smells quite nice, but the taste is... indescribable. Like a demon's piss."
...
「Upper Realm.」
「Heavenly Moon Cult.」
Tang Ao, his body wrapped in bandages, knelt before an elder in luxurious robes, his face stained with tears. The elder was named Zhong Mudao, an Elder of the Heavenly Moon Cult in the Upper Realm.
"Master, that's what happened... Junior Brother Zhu was killed by them just like that!"
Zhong Mudao pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. "So, it seems that after the Azure Emperor was reverted to his original form, he miraculously survived and was reborn. And now, the Azure Emperor struggles even to break a single Moon God Seal, which shows he is nowhere near as powerful as he used to be."
"Tang Ao, remember, this is crucial: you must absolutely not speak of this matter to anyone else!"
Tang Ao nodded and asked, "Master, may I know your plans?"
A faint smile touched Zhong Mudao's lips. "Naturally, we will descend to the Lower Realm. While the Azure Emperor is still weak, we will kill him and seize the Emperor's Blood."
"Besides, you mentioned a Pureblood Nine-tailed Fox appearing in the Lower Realm, which is also worth our trip. As a descendant of Pink, if we capture her, we can cultivate a new Pink Emperor."
"Soon, it will be the seven-hundred-year Harvesting Ceremony. At that time, the powers of the Upper Realm will join forces to widen the cracks in the Starry Sky Ancient Path, sending disciples to the Lower Realm to harvest its living beings and explore the Ancient God Ruins."
"When that time comes, we must kill the Azure Emperor and seize the Pureblood Nine-tailed Fox!"
