Chapter 17
: Treasure Hunt Leads to a Bathhouse
This must be the place. Xuanbao, shovel in hand, embarked on his treasure hunt once again.
Upon arriving at the unremarkable cave, Xuanbao would never have imagined that such an ordinary cave contained treasures had it not been for the aura of treasure emanating from it.
At this moment, Xuanbao was somewhat listless. He didn't know if it was because he had used up all his luck or what, but he had almost dug up all the places in Xikunlun that had treasures.
Because there was no rush this time, the selection of treasures wasn't rushed either. It took him a full 150 years to practically excavate all the treasure troves on West Kunlun Mountain, only to obtain seven innate spiritual treasures and one innate spiritual root. Is this reasonable? Is this normal?
This should be one of the last two treasure locations. Whether it's a mule or a horse, it all depends on these two treasure locations.
Upon entering the cave, the interior was unremarkable, but Xuanbao successfully sensed the aura of the innate formation. He took out the Breaking Yuan Shovel and began digging furiously.
Meanwhile, amidst the lush green mountains and clear waters, several goddesses were frolicking and swimming in the water, their laughter filling the air.
"Sister Xuan Nu, Xi Kunlun is so boring! When can we go on a trip to the prehistoric world?"
"Fire Spirit, Her Majesty is still in seclusion after listening to the three lectures of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. If she wants to go to the Primordial World, she must at least wait until she comes out of seclusion and we can report to her."
The leading goddess among them, with her delicate eyebrows and white teeth, radiant eyes, and rather heroic appearance, spoke to the goddess beside her whose head was piled high with fiery red hair.
These goddesses are actually some of the most qualified people under the Queen Mother of the West. The leader is the legendary Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, and the other five are also innate five spirits transformed into human form. They are genuine innate beings, and in the future, they all have the opportunity to achieve the position of quasi-saint. They are also the six golden flowers under the Queen Mother of the West.
To put it bluntly, the Queen Mother of the West treated these six people like daughters. Because of this, they mostly cultivated in Xikunlun. As the saying goes, what you can't have always stirs your heart. They had long yearned for the vastness of the prehistoric world. If it weren't for the Xuan Nu constantly supervising them, the Five Spirits would have run off somewhere long ago.
"Ah? How much longer do we have to wait?" The most lively Fire Spirit was already getting impatient, and the other four spirits were also getting restless. Ever since they were born, they had been taken to Xikunlun by the Queen Mother of the West, and who knows how many eons had passed. Naturally, they longed for the wonderful world of the primordial wilderness.
It's like a city girl who's gotten used to city life and wants to experience rural life. But as the saying goes, the city is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside. The roads in the countryside are slippery and people's hearts are more complicated. It's not as leisurely and carefree as in Xikunlun. You have to live with the constant vigilance of killing or being killed.
Just then, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from afar. The goddess Xuan, who had the highest cultivation level, straightened up and stood up. "Everyone be careful, there seems to be something unusual." The others also stopped joking around and became alert.
Xuanbao, after digging hard in the cave, finally broke through the formation. He darted into the formation and his eyes lit up. He sensed that this place was a small blessed land, not very large. The item emitting treasure energy was in the center of the blessed land. Xuanbao didn't linger and immediately spread his holy light wings and flew towards the center of the blessed land.
As fate would have it, the goddesses sensed that the magic array was under attack and hurriedly flew towards the direction where clothes were piled up on the shore. Xuanbao was also flying towards the center, and in the blink of an eye, the two groups met.
What kind of scene is this? White, tender, long, at least a D cup. At this moment, Xuanbao felt his head suddenly become congested with blood, his mind went blank, and he froze on the spot.
The goddesses, caught off guard by their unexpected encounter with a large man, screamed throughout the blessed land. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden reacted fastest, grabbing her clothes from the shore and donning them. She then conjured a sword, pointed it at Xuanbao, and roared, "Who dares to trespass into the forbidden area of Western Kunlun!"
Xuanbao then came to her senses, quickly closed her eyes, and waved her hands wildly, saying, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I just came to look for treasure, I didn't know there were sisters here."
Once dressed, Huo Ling was both ashamed and angry, her face flushed red. She scolded playfully, "You lecherous scoundrel, now that you've seen our bodies, you won't get away with this!"
Xuanbao grimaced, inwardly cursing his bad luck. It seemed he would have to be more careful when searching for treasure in the future. This time he was lucky enough to only dig up someone else's bathhouse. If he had dug up the house of some ancient demon, it would have been like handing over his head a thousand miles away.
The immediate problem is to resolve the current predicament. He had seen the bodies of several beautiful women, and although there were reasons for it, Xuanbao still felt a little embarrassed.
Xuanbao cupped her hands in greeting. "Sisters, please forgive me this time. I didn't mean to look; it was purely accidental. I'll leave now and promise not to tell anyone." With that, she prepared to turn and leave.
However, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden wouldn't let him go so easily. She coldly said, "It's not that easy. You must give us an explanation today!"
The other five were also successfully awakened by Xuan Nu's words and instantly entered battle mode, declaring, "You must give an explanation, or you won't leave here alive."
Xuanbao inwardly groaned. He didn't want to clash with these goddesses. After a moment's thought, he said, "Sisters, I'm willing to compensate with the treasures I've obtained, just please let me go."
"Compensation? What compensation can a little kid like you offer? You wouldn't bring some acquired spiritual fruits, would you? Hehehe."
At this moment, Xuan Nu had calmed down from her initial anger, shyness, and embarrassment. She didn't know if it was because Xuan Bao called her "sister" that it had an effect, or because of Xuan Bao's appearance.
Cough cough, it's most likely his appearance. Right now, Xuanbao looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. He couldn't have been born prematurely. Now, it takes Xuanbao 10,000 years for his body to grow to the equivalent of one year. It will take at least 100,000 years for him to grow to adulthood.
"If you don't give us an explanation, I'm going to hang you up and whip you," Fire Spirit, who has the most fiery temper, threatened directly.
Upon hearing that he was to be hung up and whipped, Xuanbao's lips twitched. He couldn't bear the shame of that, because if he did, not only would he lose face, but the entire Sanqing would lose face.
Left with no other choice, Xuanbao took out a primordial spiritual treasure from his spatial storage, one of the seven primordial spiritual treasures he had acquired in the past 150 years.
Hmm! 6 "Innate Spiritual Treasures".
The six people, who were originally furious, were instantly incredulous when they saw Xuanbao take out a Primordial Spiritual Treasure. That was a Primordial Spiritual Treasure that many Great Luo Golden Immortals would want to possess, and this little guy just took one out directly!
Hmph! You've seen everything. One innate spiritual treasure isn't enough for the six of us, is it? At this moment, the already clever Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden came online again. It wasn't that she was complaining about only taking out one innate spiritual treasure.
Just kidding, that's an innate spiritual treasure! Let alone just seeing it naked, even doing *that* to it would be enough. I just wanted to find a reason to beat up Xuanbao. My virginity, which has been preserved for countless eons, has been seen naked by this kid in front of me. I can tolerate it, but I can't tolerate it.
You said it wasn't enough, so Xuanbao reluctantly took out another innate spiritual treasure. Although it was only a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, it was one he had painstakingly dug up. (If others knew this, they would definitely beat Xuanbao to death. He found 7 innate spiritual treasures in 150 years, and he still looked regretful. He was truly unfilial.)
The goddesses were stunned to see the little guy in front of them take out another innate spiritual treasure. This was an innate spiritual treasure! This little rascal had taken out two of them!
Xuanbao took out two innate spiritual treasures, glanced at the older sisters, and didn't say anything. They stared at him with wide eyes, completely unaware that the women were only staring at him because he had taken out two innate spiritual treasures.
Helpless, Xuanbao took out another innate spiritual treasure.
Women: ...
Next, Xuanbao took out six innate spiritual treasures in a row, and the women simply froze on the spot. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xuanbao directly unfolded his holy light wings and went straight to yo-yo.
What Xuanbao didn't know was that it was precisely because of the six spiritual treasures he had given that the fates of the women became intertwined with his.
