Chapter 730: Chapter 326: Black Mirror, Plantation_1

Qin Shou was taken aback. Bring something? What exactly? What did he have that could possibly be given to this old man?

Fat Cat sidled up and said, "Did you steal something from the old senior? Let me tell you, you better return it ASAP, otherwise, don’t blame me if I turn my back on you! Ah... wait, I don’t even know you!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s nose almost became crooked with anger. This damn cat was indeed the type to deny any association to avoid trouble.

Qin Shou stared blankly at the old man and said, "Old senior, what do you want? I don’t have much on me."

The old man spat out one word: "Jade!"

Qin Shou was baffled once again. Jade?

Qin Shou was known in the Heavenly Court as a king of theft and sly moves, and when he first arrived in the Earthly Immortal Realm, he indeed coveted jade.

The quality of jade in this world, even the poorest, would make the gems of Earth seem pathetic.

But, as he interacted with it more, he realized that the jade of this world was only slightly better than stone, not by much.

Most of it was used to make cheap jade slips and such...

Its value was akin to a USB drive, or books and the like.

Therefore, Qin Shou rarely collected such trinkets...

After the old man said the one word, Qin Shou just gawked, and the old man paid him no more attention, continuing to patch up his shoe...

Qin Shou thought long and hard but couldn’t recall having any jade on him. Finally, he resorted to a typical method: he slowly rummaged through his Xumi Bag...

And truly, Qin Shou found a piece of jade!

To be precise, it wasn’t just jade; it was a Jade Pendant!

Seeing that Jade Pendant, Qin Shou’s mind buzzed, and he remembered everything!

That Jade Pendant was given to him by Mengpo back in the Netherworld!

At that time, Mengpo had asked Qin Shou to take the pendant and help look for someone, saying that when he saw the person, there would be no need for Qin Shou to recognize them; they would know on their own.

Qin Shou produced the Jade Pendant and asked, "Um... are you Mengpo’s man?"

The old man was stunned, then burst into laughter, snatched the Jade Pendant, cleaned it off and unashamedly made it his own. He then pointed to the ground beside him and said, "Sit down."

Fat Cat, not one to be picky, and having crawled in dirt holes for decades, simply sprawled out on the spot.

Qin Shou looked at Fat Cat with a mix of disdain and contempt, then stamped his foot, and the soil rose before bursting into the air, finally forming a genuine leather sofa, upon which he then sat.

Seeing Qin Shou’s display of magic, Fat Cat’s eyes went wide, and he immediately scooted over, giving Qin Shou a pitiable look as if to say, how about making one for me too?

Unfortunately for him, Qin Shou ignored him entirely. With the cat’s ability to betray companions the moment he turned his back—second only to an old swindler—Qin Shou was not about to fall for his act or feel sorry for him.

Seeing Qin Shou pretending not to notice him, Fat Cat chuckled and said, "Bunny, that chair of yours looks quite comfortable."

Qin Shou: "Hmm."

Fat Cat said, "That chair... it’s so big, and you are just one person..."

Pop!

Qin Shou transformed into a two-meter-tall giant rabbit, donning a hefty gold chain, wearing sunglasses, smoking a cigarette, and lounging back with one leg over the other, he said indifferently, "Now isn’t that just right?"

Fat Cat: "...￥...%*"

Qin Shou bared his teeth with a silent scoff, "Compete with me?"

The next moment, Qin Shou saw Fat Cat suddenly grab his ankle, then climbed up his thigh and plopped down onto his lap, lazily stretching and said, "This place works too..."

Qin Shou: "@#￥..."

Qin Shou wondered why all of his friends were so shameless? None of them were pure, innocent good kids.

However, Qin Shou didn’t want to quibble with Fat Cat; what concerned him most was where he was.

So Qin Shou looked toward the old man and saw a hint of surprise in his eyes, seemingly amazed by Qin Shou’s variant of the Stone-to-Gold.

Qin Shou tilted his head slightly with pride and said, "Pretty good, huh?"

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Use it less in the future."

Qin Shou was taken aback; Wu Gang had said the same thing, but Qin Shou hadn’t paid much attention. However, Qin Shou hadn’t noticed this magic causing him any trouble?

Still, Qin Shou took it to heart this time to use it as little as possible.

Qin Shou smiled obsequiously and said, "Elder, could you tell me about this place?"

The old man said, "You first tell me about your situation, how did you get here? Usually, very few people can come here. With your strength, you don’t qualify."

Qin Shou was astounded, pointing around and said, "People actually seek out this dump? They have to meet some strength requirement?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes."

Qin Shou said, "Okay, you’ll tell me what the requirement is later. Let me tell you how I got here. It’s simple, a bald guy gave me a box, which I named the Black Demon Box, and opening it would take me to a peak that looked like a black throne. The peak was originally surrounded by a barrier that kept me from leaving and anyone from entering. Later, I got a Stone, installed it on the throne, and the barrier lifted. I could come and go as I liked... It’s that simple."

The old man’s brows furrowed slightly, then he smiled and said, "That’s quite a destiny; I came in through that box too."

Qin Shou grabbed the old man’s hand, shaking it up and down with tears in his eyes, excitedly saying, "Destiny!"

The old man shook off Qin Shou’s paw and said, "To prevent others from falling into the same trap, it was I who cut off a corner of that peak. The peak itself is the core of a big array, and if damaged, it would automatically protect itself by forming a barrier. But I didn’t expect that after so many years, someone would still repair the peak and walk in."

Qin Shou was taken aback; he hadn’t anticipated this kind of cause and consequence.

The old man put down his shoe and asked, "Do you have any alcohol?"

Qin Shou shook his head; he nearly starved earlier, and if he had alcohol, he would have already drunk it.

Upon hearing this, the old man showed no disappointment, simply nodding his head and contentedly said, "Then you can watch me drink."

Then the old man took out a flask and poured himself a cup!

Qin Shou was dumbfounded, cursing in his heart, "Cao, there’s such a move?!"

As soon as the wine was poured out, its fragrance was overwhelming!

Qin Shou took a whiff and exclaimed, "This is God’s Brew!"

The old man nodded and said, "It indeed is God’s Brew, but you don’t have any, so just enjoy the smell."

Qin Shou was at a loss for words, swallowed, and asked, "Can I have a cup?"

The old man glanced at Qin Shou and said, "No."

Qin Shou: "￥#@..."

After the old man drank two cups, he spoke with profound meaning, "Do you know of the method to kill three corpses?"

Qin Shou nodded and said, "I’ve heard of it. It’s said that when you contemplate the great path of heaven and earth and want to break through the limits, the ’kill three corpses’ method is the most common."
