Chapter 183: Chapter 182: Not Just the Rabbit Alone in the Pit_1

"Impossible, this is the Yunding Market, to swindle people here? Ha... Is someone eager to get into trouble and die a slow death?" Immortal A said.

"Makes sense," Immortal B said.

"I’ve heard that there are some treasures in the world that truly are ephemeral, making heaven and earth pale in comparison. Could this be one of those things?"

"Are you talking about the Epiphyllum Wonderland? But that kind of flower needs a special environment to grow, and I’ve never seen anyone keep it under a bowl."

"The world is vast and full of wonders; if he’s daring to display it, there’s definitely something to it!"

Although they said this, not a single person spent money to see it; clearly, no one wanted to be the first to bite the bullet. Or rather, their words did not match their intentions—it was clear they were hoping to dupe someone else into looking first.

Unfortunately, each one cunning as a fox, none of them budged, just idling around and bantering, waiting for a fool to show up.

As the crowd was speculating... Three people came from the outskirt of the crowd, tiptoeing to peek inside, and their expressions instantly became odd.

"Damn it, it’s that rabbit!" Yunkong True Master couldn’t help but curse.

Master Liu chimed in, "Yunkong True Master, you used to dislike swearing, but ever since you met this rabbit..."

The old immortal chuckled and said, "Don’t single him out. Who isn’t irked by this damn rabbit? Just thinking about it makes me want to slap him."

Yunkong True Master nodded in agreement.

Master Liu asked, "What’s this rabbit up to? What kind of treasure could be hidden under a shabby bowl? He isn’t trying to scam people, is he?"

"Scam? Dare he? With so many fellow Daoists here, who would have the gall to deceive? Without a care for their face?" The old immortal was the first to disbelieve.

"Oh, how certain you sound. Since it’s not a scam, why don’t you take a look at what’s inside?"

Waiting for so long for a fool to appear, finally there seemed to be one in sight, immediately, someone with ill intentions goaded.

The old immortal was startled, then shook his head, "Though a thousand Red Spirit Crystals aren’t much, even the leg of a mosquito is flesh. To spend a thousand crystals just for a look, it’s not worth it."

"Maybe not necessarily. I’ve heard it said that there are things, just one glance and you can gain enlightenment." someone whispered.

Upon hearing this, the old immortal and the others immediately became intrigued...

What was enlightenment? It was a state of full immersion into the Heavenly Dao, a close encounter with the Dao, leading to enlightenment. Ordinary people didn’t have this opportunity at all. Anyone who had the chance usually saw a surge in power upon their return, and their advancement through the subsequent realms would be a breeze!

Who wouldn’t want such an advantage?

"Hey, have you noticed? The rabbit’s aura has changed," Master Liu whispered.

Yunkong True Master followed up, "Indeed, it has. The first time I saw him, he seemed to have no energy fluctuations, but this time there are intense fluctuations of Yuan Qi from within him. Judging by these fluctuations, he might have reached the Qi Refining God Transformation realm."

"I don’t know, this rabbit is too odd—tough-skinned and meaty, full of all kinds of nonsensical things, his actual strength is inscrutable. But judging by the fluctuation of Yuan Qi, he seems to be at just the Qi Refining God Transformation; have you ever seen a weakling at that stage capable of making a Human Immortal level nine Flower Mink howl in battle?"

"This rabbit is indeed bizarre; he cannot be measured by common standards. However, his strength has indeed increased tremendously. How many days has it been? Could he have really encountered a great opportunity?"

"Could it be related to what’s inside the bowl?"

The more they talked, the more curious they became, especially the old immortal, who muttered to himself, "I’ve been stuck in the Human Immortal realm for hundreds of thousands of years. This might be an opportunity."

Seeing this, Yunkong True Master gave Master Liu a light kick, and with a glance, they understood each other’s intentions. Since neither wanted to be fooled, why not let a fellow Daoist be the scapegoat?

So Yunkong True Master said, "Why not give it a try?"

Master Liu nodded, saying, "Trying it out shouldn’t hurt, it’s just a thousand Red Spirit Crystals. Think of it as buying a piece of mind."

The old immortal squinted his eyes and smacked his lips, evidently torn," But the character of this rabbit..."

"With so many here, even if the rabbit had the courage of a bear and the gall of a leopard, he wouldn’t dare cheat so many people, right? If this got out, it would spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred—his notoriety would skyrocket! Not to mention losing face, even his bones would be cleaned out," Yunkong True Master said immediately.

Immortal Master Liu chimed in, "If this rabbit really has a treasure..."

Just then, someone exclaimed, "The text changed!"

Immortal Master Liu, the old immortal, and Yunkong True Master immediately gathered around to look, subconsciously reading aloud, "How boring, a bunch of paupers. Even if I set up a stall for another two hours, like it or not, take it or leave it!"

Seeing this, many became anxious...

At the same time, they grew more curious, what exactly was under there? Why was this rabbit so confident?

Tianpeng was curious too, but he was more anxious, after all, if the rabbit wasn’t lying, who would want to hit the rabbit?

If no one hit the rabbit, how would he go to the funeral?

If he didn’t go to the funeral, how could he get close to Chang’e?

Could he be the one to take action?

That was definitely not an option; if the Heavenly Court found out, considering the Jade Emperor’s attitude towards this rabbit at the time, he might not get off easily...

After thinking it over, Tianpeng knew he couldn’t just stand by and watch; he had to do something. Thus, he said with a grave face, "It seems there really is treasure beneath! After all, nobody dares to deceive so many people at once!"

In the midst of speaking, Tianpeng released his power fluctuations...

"A Heavenly Immortal!" someone cried out in surprise!

"My heavens, has a Heavenly Immortal actually come to Yunding Market?!"

"If a Heavenly Immortal says so, it mustn’t be bad."

"This rabbit wouldn’t dare to deceive a Heavenly Immortal, right?"

...

"How about it, want to give it a try?" Immortal Master Liu continued to coax the old immortal.

The old immortal gritted his teeth and said, "Let’s do it!"

Then, the old immortal approached, chuckling, "Rabbit, remember me?"

Qin Shou lifted his eyelids and dug out his paws, "A thousand Red Spirit Crystals for a glance, I only recognize money, not people."

"Damn!" Those watching the commotion could no longer bear it, secretly cursing under their breath.

The grin on the old immortal’s face suddenly froze; this damn rabbit really showed no respect!

The old immortal said in a low voice, "Can you at least give me a clue about what’s inside? A hint would be nice..."

Qin Shou grinned, "Isn’t it all written here? A peerless treasure, unique in the world! Take a look if you like, forget it if you don’t."

The old immortal was speechless... He had come to understand that this damn rabbit was determined not to do anyone any favors.

In his heart, he was also frustrated, thinking, I want to see what’s so great inside you! If it’s a treasure, then my money won’t be wasted. But if it’s junk and a scam, huff... I’ll call you out right here, and when that time comes, you can enjoy the wrath of the crowd!

So, the old immortal resolutely took out his money, counted a thousand Red Spirit Crystals, and handed them to Qin Shou, saying, "Can I look now?"

Qin Shou felt the Red Spirit Crystals in the bag, tossed them into the Black Demon Box, and nodded slightly, "Yes, but make sure no one else sees, or you’ll regret it."

The old immortal was taken aback; he had indeed wanted to lift it up for everyone to see, but the second half of Qin Shou’s warning made him reconsider. Even the four Heavenly Lords didn’t dare to trouble this rabbit, so how could he dare?

Therefore, the old immortal chose an angle out of everyone’s sight, slowly lifted the large bowl, and looked inside with his head lowered.

The immortals behind him, each one of them craning their necks to follow suit, but this old fella had blocked the view with his clothes, making it impossible for them to see anything. Immediately, they all cursed in their hearts, "This old guy, he’s covering it up so tightly!"
