Chapter 1766: Peace of Mind

~8 min read 1,429 words

While the General General Wu Di Bag existed, Goddess Feng He had to continuously inject divine power into it to maintain its operation. In this small cave heaven, a time limit of three hours was already not easy. After explaining, Bai Ziqi asked him: "Are there any other difficulties?"

"Usually, I have no problem entering and leaving the Immortal Cave, whether it's the spiritual beasts guarding the cave or the three managers, I am very familiar with them. But there are two problems: first, to withdraw Profound Crystals from the Immortal Light Cave now, I must have Sect Master Xiao's handwritten order; second, according to the normal process, I cannot enter the bottom-level treasure vault, but have to hand over Sect Master Xiao's handwritten order to a scale-pan demon, which will enter the vault and take the Profound Crystals in a fixed quantity."

He paused: "Actually, anything in the treasure vault is received and sent by the scale-pan demon, and we have no right to enter."

"The first problem is not difficult to solve. There have been at least twenty or thirty withdrawals of Profound Crystals in the sect today, I can go find Sect Master Xiao." Signing, entering the vault, taking things, Wu Shidao had done this set of processes thousands of times, how could Sect Master Xiao doubt it?

"But the second problem, I am powerless. If I forcibly use divine ability, the Yaotao in the Immortal Light Cave will definitely be alarmed! If there are other living creatures lingering in the Immortal Light Cave without permission, they will also be discovered by the Yaotao!"

Yaotao is an ancient divine beast. This great demon guarding the treasure vault of the Illusion Sect has a few bloodlines of Yaotao, so it is crowned with "Ya".

Wanting to steal Profound Crystals from an Immortal's treasure vault is not an easy thing.

"Have you ever entered the bottom-level treasure vault and seen the layout inside?"

"Yes." Wu Shidao nodded, "The treasure vault needs to be cleaned once every five years, and the accounts need to be checked at the same time. I followed Elder Xu inside and also did the accounts. The treasures inside are all classified and placed."

"How are the Profound Crystals placed?"

"The Profound Crystals are all placed in special rock caves, classified by grade, and all packed in box-shaped storage spaces." Wu Shidao secretly looked at Bai Ziqi, "This General General Wu Di Bag itself cannot hold storage spaces, that, that is not easy to handle."

Bai Ziqi thought for a while: "How many scale-pan demons are there?"

"Just one, it's about this big." Wu Shidao gestured to him, "It's not easy for a scale-pan to become a demon. It is said that this one was brought by the Immortal Venerable, unique in the world."

"Does it have human autonomous intelligence or emotions?" Bai Ziqi asked further, "Will it be suspicious, will it question?"

"That, no." Wu Shidao shook his head, "It follows the rules, does things according to the process. It gives if it passes the verification, and doesn't if it doesn't. Whatever Sect Master Xiao tells it to do, it does. I've been in the sect for over thirty years, and it has never said a word to me."

What to do? Bai Ziqi fell into deep thought.

At this time, the gray parrot descended from the sky, holding a small box in its mouth.

It was smaller than the powder box used by women.

"Use this." The gray parrot spat the box into Bai Ziqi's hand before opening its mouth, "This is a part of Qian Huan's external dharma image, which I ground into powder. It is enough to make a few smoke screens."

Bai Ziqi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Goddess!"

The gray parrot taught the usage again, and Wu Shidao took the powder box and the General General Wu Di Bag and took his leave.

Just as Bai Seventeen was about to lead him down the lighthouse, Wu Shidao paused and turned back to Bai Ziqi:

"Lord, I remembered one more thing: before the storm wall dissipated, the Elders gathered behind closed doors many times, and there were several quarrels. Although they opened the sound-insulation barrier later, I still heard Elder Liu say to Elder Liu before, 'The Wisdom Lamp is going to light up again, it will be these few days... someone still has to enter the Kidney Lake'. This morning, their fragmented words when walking into the pavilion still mentioned the Kidney Lake and Silver Pearl Fruit, but didn't say much."

"I have served in the Wenhui Pavilion for too long, and the Elders often ignore my existence, and their speech is not so careful." Wu Shidao knew very well that he was just a background board most of the time in the Wenhui Pavilion.

No one would keep their guard up against a background board for a long time.

After speaking, he turned and went down the tower.

This person is very sensible, so he would take the initiative to report secrets. Bai Seventeen encouraged at the right time: "You have reported these few sentences very well. Remember, our Cloud Commandant's words are worth their weight in gold, and rewards and punishments are clear! You do one thing for Lord Bai, and it is worth thirty years of toil!"

Wu Shidao answered with a low "Yes" and left the lighthouse to return to the battlefield, not daring to look at the direction where his fellow disciples were cremated.

Bai Seventeen stared at his back until it disappeared before withdrawing his gaze.

Other superiors who subdue people pay attention to both kindness and power, but their Commandant also wants to grasp a word of "reason".

This reason is the "reason" for peace of mind.

Although the Heavenly Palace is as cruel as the Immortals, they tore the true face of the Illusion Sect to shreds for Wu Shidao to see, and the latter would instinctively hate the sect more, because he had been deceived and betrayed!

This is what Commandant Bai has been teaching, to make people feel that they are victims and are in the right, so they can betray their original master with peace of mind!

After he returned to the lighthouse, Bai Ziqi praised Bai Seventeen: "Wu Shidao, this person, you chose well."

Among thirty-something captives, Bai Seventeen indeed picked the useful one.

"Divine Venerable is over-praising, I was just lucky. After sifting through batch after batch of captives, I only picked out this one person in total."

Subsequently, Bai Ziqi pondered the place "Kidney Lake".

The bottom of this small lake had just lit up in sync with the moonlight. Now Wu Shidao said again that the Illusion Sect's Immortals had mentioned it repeatedly.

It can be seen that this place is extraordinary.

When arguing, emotions are agitated, so it is easy to tell the truth. However, these few Immortals of the Illusion Sect are all of advanced age, and logically speaking, they are usually immortal and elegant, and their cultivation is in place, so how could they argue so ungracefully?

That is to say, the topic of the argument made them ignore their status.

Bai Ziqi could guess immediately that they were discussing Qian Huan's seclusion and the opening of the Upside-Down Sea.

Then, Wu Shidao heard them mention the Kidney Lake, and more than once.

The glowing lake bottom, hmm...

The gray parrot suddenly said: "The Wisdom Lamp is the moon. This is a saying from ancient times."

"That is to say, the Illusion Sect's Elder Liu said to his companion, the moon is going to light up again?" Bai Ziqi pondered, "Today is the fifteenth, the time of the full moon. Why must an Immortal enter the Kidney Lake during the opening of the storm wall? What is the connection between this and the time of the full moon?"

The Immortals also mentioned the Silver Pearl Fruit, the glowing fruit by the Upside-Down Lake.

"The Silver Pearl Fruit is also related to the full moon of the fifteenth." Bai Ziqi continued, "The moonlight at other times will not make the Silver Pearl Fruit glow."

"Immortal, full moon, Kidney Lake, Silver Pearl Fruit." The gray parrot asked him, "What can be connected?"

"During the ten days when the storm wall disappears, it is their only chance to leave. But the Upside-Down Sea is sealed, so they may not be able to get out. Therefore, the only reason they must go to the Kidney Lake can only be Immortal Qian Huan!" ===== CHAPTER 1767 =====
