Chapter 657: The Coffin

~8 min read 1,542 words

Lu Yang ignored the Decayed Fairy's incessant chatter and focused on carrying the coffin.

"Come to think of it, the quality of this coffin is actually quite good. According to Fellow Daoist Xinghai, it can even isolate the spiritual sense of an Integration stage cultivator."

Generally speaking, coffins in the Cultivation Realm have the effect of isolating spiritual sense; this is a sign of respect for the deceased.

But to be able to refine a coffin to this extent is quite rare.

"I always feel like the style of this coffin is familiar." Lu Yang frowned, then suddenly remembered.

"Isn't this the coffin the Great Elder often sleeps in?" When Lu Yang had just learned the 'Inch of Heaven' technique and teleported randomly to a cliff, he had the fortune of breaking into a tomb chamber built by the Great Elder. The style of the coffin in that tomb was very similar to the one Xiao Xinghai was lying in.

"It's probably because the Great Elder builds tombs everywhere in the East Sea, and Fellow Daoist Xinghai happened to pick one up." Meng Jingzhou was not surprised at all.

There are many similar legends circulating in the East Sea: a certain heaven-defying genius accidentally breaks into a tomb, undergoes the tests of predecessors, obtains inheritance and magic treasures, and from then on soars into the sky.

It's just that the magic treasure Xiao Xinghai obtained happens to be a coffin.

Lu Yang felt that Old Meng's reasoning made sense. Think back to how the Ying Tian Immortal was buried as a burial object and then rose to prominence.

These things all have historical precedents.

"According to Fellow Daoist Xinghai, the Dragon Clan is arrogant and spends money lavishly; they wouldn't sell their blood just because they lack money. They mostly sell blood when they have something to ask for. Once the requested task is completed, they will reward the requester with dragon blood."

"Because dragon blood is worth more than gold, the difficulty of the requested tasks is also very high."

"Moreover, some tasks involve the privacy of the Dragon Clan and are not suitable for public disclosure, so the tasks are all posted at secret contact points."

"We are carrying a coffin around everywhere; isn't that a bad influence?" Man Gu asked. He could clearly feel the surrounding gazes concentrating on them.

"Although we don't have to worry about it being picked up if we leave it on the side of the road, it's still a bad influence to some extent. Why don't we find a place to put it down and move the coffin over after we find the dragon blood?" Meng Jingzhou suggested. Anyway, they had already arrived at the Sea Market, so there was no issue of the transport distance being too far or the dragon blood not being fresh.

He sent a voice transmission to Xiao Xinghai: "Fellow Daoist Xinghai, what do you think?"

No response.

"Oh right, the coffin can isolate spiritual sense; I can't send a voice transmission." Meng Jingzhou remembered. His voice couldn't get in unless the coffin was opened.

"Then we'll decide for Fellow Daoist Xinghai and find a place to store it... Hmm, ahead is the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce. So, they have one here too."

Meng Jingzhou smiled. The business scope of the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce was quite broad, having even opened up to the East Sea.

In this regard, his Meng family was not inferior; the East Sea and the Demon Domain were also within their business scope.

"Perfect, the Chamber of Commerce has services for temporarily storing large items."

At the end of the Sea Market, the Dragon Palace.

"Damn it, have you still not found the supreme treasure?" A Dragon Clan Elder was furious. He had a dragon head and a human body, his anger burning, wishing he could tear the thief of the supreme treasure into ten thousand pieces!

"The layout was meticulous; this was a long-planned theft. At the very least, an Integration stage cultivator did it. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to find." Another Dragon Clan Elder was equally furious but could still maintain his reason to analyze the current situation.

"Ancient Ancestor above, please bless us, let us find the supreme treasure as soon as possible." The third Dragon Clan Elder prayed for the legendary Ancient Ancestor to manifest.

"Search! Carrying the supreme treasure makes it impossible to perform spatial movement. They definitely haven't run far. Even if we have to turn the East Sea upside down, we must find them!"

"Especially the Sea Market; the thieves are most likely there!"

"Why don't we scan the entire Sea Market with our spiritual sense?"

"Stupid! How massive would the commotion be if we scanned the entire Sea Market with spiritual sense? Are you afraid that the other clans won't know we lost the supreme treasure? Take your subordinates and act separately, scan in small areas!"

"Remember, do not let outsiders know what we are doing!"

"Big Brother, we really succeeded." A thief-eyed Integration stage True Monarch said excitedly. Even with the temperament of an Integration stage cultivator, he couldn't help but get excited.

Although the other two Integration stage True Monarchs didn't speak, one could see their excitement and joy through their eyes.

The Dragon Clan's supreme treasure! They wouldn't have to worry about cultivation resources for the rest of their lives, and they even had hope of advancing to the Tribulation Transcendence stage!

"Don't get excited. We have only succeeded halfway. Don't forget that the Sea Market we are in is also under the management of the Dragon Clan. Only by bringing the supreme treasure out of the Sea Market can we count it as a success." The Integration stage True Monarch called Big Brother was also excited, but he was Big Brother after all, with a better temperament than his younger brothers. He knew that things were not over yet and it was not the time to celebrate.

"But Big Brother, this supreme treasure is an object of the Dragon Clan and cannot be put into a storage ring. How are we going to bring it out of the Sea Market?" Another younger brother said worriedly.

If it's not put into a storage ring, there's no guarantee it won't be detected by the Dragon Clan's spiritual sense.

"No matter, I have already thought of a way." Big Brother took out a magic treasure from his storage ring.

"Look at what this is!"

"A coffin?" The three younger brothers exclaimed.

Big Brother's expression was solemn. Recalling the scene at that time, he was still afraid. He lowered his voice and told his younger brothers about his history of making a fortune: "That's right. Years ago, when I was a tomb raider, I sneaked into an ancient tomb. After a life-and-death struggle, I finally entered the depths of the ancient tomb. It's a pity that there were no burial objects in the tomb, and even the coffin was empty. I suspect the owner of the tomb had already shed their mortal body and become an immortal!"

"A thief never leaves empty-handed, so I took this coffin!"

"This coffin is a good treasure. Even with our Integration stage spiritual sense, we cannot probe into this coffin!"

The three younger brothers tried and found that it was indeed the case.

"Are we going to put the supreme treasure into the coffin and then secretly transport it out by carrying the coffin?" The younger brother felt that Big Brother was worthy of being Big Brother; he thought things through thoroughly. No matter what, the Dragon Clan wouldn't be disrespectful to the dead and open the coffin for inspection. Such an outrageous act would definitely make people suspect that the Dragon Clan had lost something very important.

The Dragon Clan cares about their reputation and wouldn't do such a thing.

"Right, but it's not that simple. Carrying a coffin in the Sea Market is too ostentatious and will attract the attention of the Dragon Clan."

"Then what do you mean, Big Brother?"

"I have an acquaintance at the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce and have already greeted them in advance. We will store the coffin at the Chamber of Commerce, and after the limelight passes, we will take the coffin out."

"Also, we have to disguise ourselves." Big Brother took out four pills from his bosom.

"These are pills I bought at the Great Xia black market. They are pills produced by the pill refining masters of the Wen Dao Sect. It is said that as long as you take one, you can temporarily lower your realm. We are all at the Integration stage. If the Dragon Clan investigates, they will definitely suspect the Integration stage first, which is dangerous. If we lower our realm, the Dragon Clan won't investigate us!"

"Big Brother is wise!" The three younger brothers were very excited. Big Brother's plans were flawless, and he had thought of everything.

"Excuse me, can you store a coffin here?" Lu Yang and the other three entered the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce carrying the coffin and asked politely.
