Volume 2: Haotian Sword Tomb Chapter 79: Full Moon Red Moon
Since ancient times, there have been legends among the people about the聚宝盆. It is said that ordinary civilians who obtain this object can get countless gold and silver, becoming one of the richest people in the world.
In the place where Jiang Feng used to live, there were also legends about the聚宝盆. Jiang Feng remembered one of them, which said that in ancient times, a certain richest man was able to become the wealthiest person under heaven because he had obtained the聚宝盆.
The thing in Jiang Feng's hand is also called a聚宝盆. However, this聚宝盆 is much more powerful than the one in folklore. Its function is not limited to gold and silver, but can also replicate magical artifacts and medicinal pills.
Jiang Feng also gave it a try, tossing a small piece of gold into the Alchemy Cauldron. After channeling some spiritual energy into the cauldron, the small container was suddenly filled to the brim with gold. Jiang Feng poured out the gold, and the blocks of gold flowed out continuously, but the gold inside the cauldron remained full. It seemed that as long as Jiang Feng didn't stop supplying spiritual energy, the Alchemy Cauldron would be able to constantly produce gold.
Bring out all the gold, and Jiang Feng put another piece of refined iron in. After the spiritual power was released, he just waited. But there was no reaction at all. Jiang Feng thought for a moment, then took out a hundred-year-old ginseng from his storage bag and threw it into the gathering treasure basin, but still there was no reaction at all.
"Can't this thing be copied except for gold, silver and jewels?" Jiang Feng muttered to himself.
After repeated experiments, Jiang Feng finally confirmed that the聚宝盆 could replicate gold, silver and jewels, but not spiritual medicine or spiritual stones. To replicate magical artifacts and elixirs, original materials and sufficient spiritual energy supply were still needed.
"Ordinary people getting this thing, it's just for seeking wealth. But without spiritual power, throwing gold in is useless too. Cultivators don't want gold either. If you want to get some elixirs or treasures, you still need to gather the original materials and have enough cultivation, otherwise it won't work. This thing isn't that great after all."
"It can't be that you really think just throwing something in will make a whole bowl of the same thing appear, right?" Lan Wu's voice echoed in Jiang Feng's mind.
"That's what I think. If only it were that easy, I'd throw in the remaining spiritual stones and get a whole bunch of them, maybe then I can go back to the Wu Xing Sword Sect and teach those disobedient disciples a lesson." Jiang Feng said to himself.
"Stop daydreaming. With the current abilities of the聚宝盆, it's already extremely heaven-defying, you should be content." Lan Wu said.
Jiang Feng nodded, telling himself in his heart to be content, but he really hoped that things could go as he wished. At Ziwei's place, she had already eaten all the rabbit meat and was now sitting there in a daze. Jiang Feng looked at Ziwei, who didn't move at all, like a statue, and couldn't understand what this woman was thinking about.
In the desolate mountains and wild ridges, he didn't even know where the Bandit King's tomb was, let alone whether it was in this area. Jiang Feng could only wait for Xue Dao. He hoped that Xue Dao would know where the Bandit King's tomb was.
This wait was exactly ten days. In these ten days, Ziwie had completely turned into a sculpture. She just sat there, neither moving nor speaking. Sometimes even when small birds landed on her body, she didn't have any reaction at all. At first, for two days, Jiang Feng could still feel Ziwie's vital energy, but after two days, Jiang Feng couldn't feel it anymore.
Although Zǐ Wēi was right in front of him, in Jiāng Fēng's consciousness, that wasn't a person, but a stone. This kind of skill to gather one's breath made Jiāng Fēng feel amazed. He also increasingly felt that Zǐ Wēi was not ordinary.
On the tenth day, Jiang Feng, who was cultivating alone, suddenly felt that someone was approaching. He opened his eyes and saw a sly-looking person in the nearby woods staring at him.
Seeing someone hiding behind a tree waving at him, Jiang Feng stood up and walked over cautiously.
"How come you're just arriving now? I've been here for ten days already. Where have you been all this time?" Jiang Feng said to the person after he walked over.
The person who called Jiang Feng over made a silencing gesture in a hurry. Then, still with a tense face, he looked at Zi Wei sitting not far away. After more than ten seconds, without seeing any movement from Zi Wei, who was as still as a sculpture, the man finally let out a sigh of relief.
The person who came was indeed Xue Dao. Probably except for him, Jiang Feng would not have said the words above. Except for Xue Dao, it's estimated that no one else would be afraid of Zi Wei waking up.
"What do you think I'm doing? Of course, I'm looking for clues to the Tomb of the Bandit King. Let me tell you, I've spent a lot of money on this, and if we get the treasure, you'd better give me a share." said Blood Knife.
"Alright, alright, I'll give you a share of the credit. Now quickly tell me, where did you find the tomb of the Bandit King?" Jiang Feng said.
Xue Dao nodded and pulled out a roll of sheepskin from his sleeve. After opening the sheepskin, he handed one to Jiang Feng.
"This is the treasure map of Zei Wang's tomb. Do you see that red circle on the map? The tomb is right there. I've already checked out that place, it's not far from here. As long as we follow the map, we'll definitely be able to find it." Xue Dao said with a self-satisfied expression.
On the sheepskin was indeed a map, and on it there was indeed a red circle. What's most important is that on this map were written three big characters: "Zeiwang Tomb". It was as if they feared others wouldn't know this was the map of Ziewang Tomb.
"That... Blood Blade, I have a question for you. Can you tell me why this sheepskin map looks like it was just made recently? And why do you also have another identical map in your hand?" Jiang Feng asked.
Xue Dao lowered his head and took a look at his own hand, in which was another sheepskin. Jiang Feng hadn't seen the entire contents of the sheepskin, but the unfolded part happened to have the three words "Ze Wang Mu". Jiang Feng guessed that it was probably another map, and it should be exactly the same as the one in his hand.
"You're saying this? This is also a map of the Bandit King's tomb. The two of us, I must buy two copies. Otherwise, if we get separated and there's only one map, wouldn't one person be unable to find the Bandit King's tomb?" Blood Knife said.
"You bought it, and you even bought two more?" Jiang Feng said, looking at Blood Knife with gritted teeth.
Xue Dao nodded solemnly, unfolding the map in his hand and pointing to several lines of small characters on the left side: "The date is already indicated here. We must arrive at the designated location by the time of the full moon. If we're late, we won't be able to enter the tomb of the Bandit King."
Jiang Feng gritted his teeth, looking as if he would have liked to beat Blood Blade to death on the spot. But Blood Blade seemed completely oblivious to Jiang Feng's expression, continuing to enthusiastically explain his plan for robbing the tomb with a mouthful of saliva flying everywhere.
"Stop! To prevent me from killing you in a fit of rage, stop for now." Jiang Feng had no choice but to interrupt Blood Blade.
In the midst of Blood Knife's perplexed expression, Jiang Feng took a few deep breaths. Once his complexion improved, he said: "Let's put aside this unreliable matter of the Thief King's tomb for now. You first tell me what's going on with that woman over there."
Jiang Feng's finger pointed to the location where Zi Wei was, and Xue Dao also followed Jiang Feng's finger. However, Xue Dao didn't say a word, but his whole body was trembling, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Jiang Feng, who didn't know what was wrong with Xue Dao, shifted his gaze away from Xue Dao and wanted to look at Zi Wei. Just as Jiang Feng's gaze was about to move away, he suddenly noticed that there was a red-clothed woman behind Xue Dao.
"Bandit King's Tomb, you go first, I'll definitely come find you if I have time." Xue Dao said with a quiver. Then he took off running. As soon as he ran, the purple vine behind him moved and chased after him in one step.
One foundation stage, one golden dan stage. Can the foundation stage use two legs to outrun the golden dan stage? The answer is obviously no. Jiang Feng watched as Xue Dao ran wildly in the forest, while Zi Wei closely followed behind him. After a while, Xue Dao seemed to have found his way and ran far away. But he couldn't shake off Zi Wei at all.
"It seems that the Blood Knife that came back this time is real, not a puppet. As for the tomb of the thieving king, I think it's probably fake." Jiang Feng muttered to himself.
