Chapter 360: Immortal Gate Competition, Treasure Hunting Team

The first day of the tenth month in the 100,014th year of the Immortal Era.

Kunlun Immortal Mountain, on Taihua Peak, colorful clouds drifted, and auspicious light shone for ten thousand zhang.

On the top of Taihua Peak, in the Ancestor Hall, True Monarch Qingfeng held high incense and kowtowed devoutly.

At the same time, below Taihua Peak, beside the Sun-Watching Cliff, a hundred cloud platforms floated in mid-air.

Elders of various peaks and a group of disciples gathered beside the Sun-Watching Cliff, waiting for the arrival of the Sect Leader True Monarch and the heads of various peaks.

In the crowd, elders and disciples whispered to each other.

Disciple A: "This time, for the sect competition, I heard the sect will take out middle-grade magic treasures as rewards."

Disciple B: "What's a middle-grade magic treasure? I heard that those direct disciples who win the top three might be rewarded by the sect with high-grade magic treasures."

Disciple C: "No way. High-grade magic treasures are treasures that money can't buy; many elders of the sect don't even have them."

Disciple B: "Heh. This is true. I also heard that besides high-grade magic treasures, two people will be selected from the direct disciples of this competition to be promoted to True Transmission Disciples."

Disciple A: "I heard about this too. My brother is a direct disciple of the Nascent Soul Elder of Tianji Peak. I heard from my brother that his boss, Senior Brother Yuan Wushang of Tianquan Peak, is the sect's number one direct disciple, and this time he will definitely be promoted to a True Transmission Disciple."

Disciple B: "You have this connection. Brother, please cover me."

Everyone was discussing when they heard the sound of wind in the air. Immediately after, hundreds of streams of light shot from the top of Taihua Peak and sat on the podium in a moment.

At this time, an old Taoist with a cold face, wearing a high crown and a Taoist robe, stood up and announced loudly: "The 11,848th Immortal Gate Competition of the Wanfa Immortal Gate officially begins. Now announcing the competition rules..."

At the same time, 100,000 miles away, Tenggerila Desert, ruins of the Lanlou Kingdom.

A treasure hunting team was shuttling through the ruins.

The team had ten members in total, and the leader, Old Dao, was the captain of this team.

Old Dao had been doing this treasure hunting work for ten years and was a veteran in this line of work.

In his hand, he held a wooden stick with a pitch-black iron ring tied to one end.

This Old Dao brand iron ring was Old Dao's secret weapon for treasure hunting. Nine subtle runes were carved on the iron ring, and the nine runes connected head to tail to form a detection array. Through this detection array, he could detect any metal objects within three meters underground.

Old Dao was searching an abandoned stone house at this time. Most of the walls of this stone house had collapsed, and traces of fire burning remained in the corners of the walls.

Seeing this trace, Old Dao knew that this stone house had mostly been searched by others, and someone had even made a fire here to heat food.

Although he knew the possibility was not high, he still habitually scanned the ground with his detector. Sure enough, the detector had no reaction at all, indicating that there was nothing here.

Old Dao lifted the wooden stick and was about to step out of the threshold when the iron ring at the front of the wooden stick suddenly shook slightly.

Old Dao stopped immediately. His gaze fell below the iron ring, which was exactly the place in the corner of the wall that had been burned.

Could it be that there is treasure buried underneath?

Old Dao's heart moved. He reached into his storage bag and took out an iron shovel. This iron shovel was sharp at the front and round at the back, in the shape of a semi-circular cylinder.

He cleared the waste bricks and rotten stones below with the iron shovel, and then carefully shoveled the sand and soil below with the iron shovel.

Before long, he had dug down half a foot.

Old Dao took the detector, started the detection array, and the detector began to vibrate violently.

There is something. There must be something.

Old Dao's heart was beating like a drum, and the iron shovel in his hand involuntarily accelerated its speed.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Old Dao had dug down two feet.

The vibration of the detector in his hand became more violent.

The treasure should be not far below.

Old Dao was excited.

Just at this time, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the house: "You loose cultivators, you dare to come to this Lanlou ruins to search for treasure. Is the treasure left by Tianxing Daojun something that you cats and dogs can covet?"

Immediately after, the voice came again: "Get out quickly. Otherwise, none of you will be able to leave alive."

Old Dao's thick eyebrows stood up. He gently put away the detector and the iron shovel, and then walked out carefully.

Outside the gate, a team of cultivators had surrounded his team members.

These cultivators wore uniform uniforms, and the word "Taiyi" was embroidered in red on the cuffs.

Disciples of the Taiyi Gate, disciples of the Ten Great Immortal Gates.

Old Dao's mood sank to the bottom.

Firefights between treasure hunting teams were common. However, that was between loose cultivator teams and loose cultivator teams.

A firefight between a loose cultivator team and disciples of the Ten Great Immortal Gates was simply looking for death.

Even if they were lucky enough to defeat the other side, the reinforcements sent by the other side's sect were not something they could deal with.

Therefore, loose cultivator treasure hunting teams usually gave way when encountering immortal gate treasure hunting teams and would not have direct conflicts with the other side.

This time, Old Dao also decided to adopt a strategy of compromise and concession toward the other side. Although there were still unprobed items in the stone house, confronting the Taiyi Immortal Gate for an unprobed item was really not a cost-effective thing.

"Everyone, we are leaving now. We are leaving now."

Old Dao laughed at the other side, signaling that his team was ready to retreat.

"Leaving is fine, leave the storage bags at your waist."

A leading disciple of the Taiyi Gate shouted loudly at Old Dao and the others.

"Brother. This is not in accordance with the rules."

Old Dao protested to the Taiyi Gate disciple.

"Hahaha, joke. Our rule is to leave the storage bags and spare your lives." The Taiyi Gate disciple laughed.

Other Taiyi Gate disciples heard this and also laughed loudly.

Old Dao's eyebrows knitted into a "mountain" character.

It seems that the other side doesn't want to give us a way to live.

Old Dao reached for the storage bag at his waist.

At the same time, he gave a wink to the members of the treasure hunting team who were with him.

Other members saw this and also reached for the storage bags at their waists.

Taiyi Gate disciples saw this and all laughed loudly.

Old Dao summoned with his hand, and a pitch-black bead appeared in his hand.

Yin Thunder Bead.

This bead was made by cultivators with a cultivation level above the Golden Core by taking Yin energy and gathering heavenly thunder. Once it explodes, there is no life.

"Let us go! Otherwise, let's die together."

Old Dao gritted his teeth and raised the Yin Thunder Bead in his hand.

Taiyi Gate disciples were stunned when they saw this.

Good guy, actually dare to resist.

Old Dao's performance obviously exceeded their expectations.

Since entering the Tenggerila Desert, which loose cultivator treasure hunting team didn't obediently offer the storage bags at their waists when they saw them. Unexpectedly, this loose cultivator treasure hunting team actually dared to resist.

Taiyi Gate disciples looked at each other, and then looked at their captain at the same time.

Their captain was also very confused at this time. Obviously, this situation also exceeded his expectations.

Seeing his fellow junior brothers and sisters looking at him, he couldn't help but blush.

Just at this time, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the stone house.

Sand and stones flew, dust filled the air.

After the dust dissipated, a handsome and dashing youth and a beautiful demon girl walked out of the door hand in hand.

Behind them followed a big dog with snow-white fur. A rope was tied around the dog's neck, and a curved moon hung on the rope.

Seeing everyone standing there, the big dog barked: "Hello everyone. I am Dog Master!" ===== CHAPTER 361 =====
