Chapter 108: Mysterious Seal

  Entering the house, the decoration inside the inn is still good, of course, it can't be compared with my own first floor.

  Chen Jiu walked around in circles inside the house, and a young servant came running up with a wooden bucket: "Young Master, your water is ready."

  After finishing speaking, the young servant put down the wooden bucket, and another young servant brought in a wooden basin, gurgling with several buckets of water pouring in, hot air steaming.

  Chen nodded: "You all go out first, prepare good wine and dishes for me, I want the best wine and dishes. After I finish my bath, send them to me."

  "Yes, sir." The two young servants bowed and backed away.

  Chen Jiu slowly undressed and untied his belt, then stepped into the wooden tub.

  It's been a month since I last took a bath, stepping into the wooden tub and sitting in the warm water, my whole body muscles relaxed.

  Although there are ways to drive away dust, but that small cave is crowded and has many prying eyes, no need to make it special.

  Recalling his gains inside the Cave of Heaven, Chen Jiu's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile as he gently rested his head on the edge of the wooden bucket. He thought back to when he stepped onto the White Jade Stage and went through the process of washing his marrow and cutting his hair.

  "Originally, the thirty-three layers of white jade steps represent the thirty-three heavens. After ascending to the thirty-third heaven, one reaches the legendary White Jade Capital."

  Of course, what's on that step is not White Jade Capital, but a state of mind, a metaphor.

  Chen Jiu didn't know what Baiyujing was, only that it was above the Thirty-Three Heavens and could surpass them, so it couldn't be bad.

  That rule led itself to the White Jade Capital and then disappeared without a trace. No matter how Chen Jiuxiao called out, there was no response.

  "After coming out, using the rules to explain: 'Bai Yu Jing is above the rules of heaven and earth, I am the rules of heaven and earth, naturally cannot reach Bai Yu Jing'."

  Chen Jiuyi walked step by step in this White Jade Capital, above the thirty-three heavens was a thatched cottage. Unexpectedly, you might not think of it, below were the thirty-three heavens, and above was actually a thatched cottage.

  Gently pushing open the door, I didn't expect it wasn't as I had imagined. The thatched hut also has its own world.

  Inside the thatched hut were several courtyards, and inside the courtyards grew thick weeds. The ancient, rustic feeling hit me in the face, and the seeds of inspiration jumped more violently.

  After turning around the courtyard for a few rounds, there was nothing good. The treasure was something that didn't exist, perhaps it was because Chen Jiu's opportunity had not yet arrived.

  Along the small path, Chen Jiu arrived again at the gate of the thatched cottage.

  Gently pushing open the door, this time it was a real thatched cottage.

  The thatched hut was not big, only about 7 or 8 square meters in size, with no excessive decorations. In the center of the thatched hut stood a small altar table, on which the offerings had turned to ashes, with the two characters for "heaven and earth" written above.

  The two characters for heaven and earth are a nameplate, above which is actually supplied with an object, this is not a nameplate but a tray.

  The tray is surprisingly superior to heaven and earth in the mind of this thatched cottage owner, it's indeed a precious thing.

  He cast his gaze at the tray, and there was still something in it, but Chen Jiu couldn't see what it was because a yellow cloth covered it.

  Just the occasional leakage of the treasure's meaning and aura made Chen Jiu feel as if he was facing the laws of heaven and earth. It was as if he was facing the highest ruler of all heavens, requiring him to kowtow three times and knock his head nine times in reverence.

  His strong will was crushed in an instant, without any power to resist, just as he was about to kneel down. The divine seed stirred again, the power of heaven and earth surged, and his spirit recovered instantly.

  Chen Jiu was shocked and averted his gaze, panting heavily: "So strong. Really too strong."

  That object on the tray felt Chen Jiu's magic power and transmitted a will, a weak will: "I... want... to give... me..."

  Simple yet it showed that Chen Jiu had what was desired in that tray.

  "What to do? How is it good?" Chen Jiu secretly asked himself.

  Facing a precious treasure, if one cannot take it and returns empty-handed, wouldn't that be frustrating to death?

  "If the other party asks oneself to pass the test, then there must be a way to get the treasure, but how can one get it?" Chen Jiu secretly asked himself.

  The "bang bang" knocking on the door woke up Chen Jiu.

  "Whoa", feeling the water in the bathtub had cooled down, apparently having sat here for some time.

  "Your meal is ready, sir." The voice of the waiter came over.

  "Alright, alright, come on in." Chen Ji said, wiping himself off while responding.

  It was still those two young men who walked in with wine and dishes.

  Eight dishes and one jug of wine.

  Chen Jiu casually pulled out a gold leaf and threw it over: "Here you go".

  "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

  "Alright, alright, go down now." Chen Jiu waved his hand, and he was already fully dressed.

  "Sir, just give me your orders."

  Chen Jiu picked up his chopsticks and saw that the door was about to close, when a pair of slender hands gently pushed it open, and surprisingly, it was Li Xinyi.

  Li Xinyu dressed as a man, after bathing, her face looked delicate and charming.

  Behind Li Xinyu was Yi Xiaoxiao, who walked in with a calm and collected demeanor, pulling Li Xinyu down to sit across from him at the wine table without any courtesy.

  Chen looked at them in surprise: "What's going on? It's mealtime now, what are you two doing here?"

  "We were afraid you'd be bored eating and drinking alone, so we came to keep you company" Yi Xiao Xiao said with a straight face as he picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a dried fish, and put it in his mouth.

  Chen Jiuzai didn't believe Yi Xiao's words, and turned his gaze to Li Xinyi. Li Xinyi's face flushed with embarrassment as she said: "Brother Chen, our money pouches were lost in the Cave of Heaven while we were busy fighting."

  "What? The money bag is lost, why don't you lose your own heads?" Chen Jiu exclaimed.

  Xiao Xiao put down her chopsticks, looked at Li Xinyi and said: "Li Shimei, didn't you say I was here to deal with that bastard Chen Jiu? How did you end up exposing your own secrets?"

  "I, I, I... I think we should just be honest about this trip, the expenses for food and drink aren't small, later on there will be no excuse, it's better if we just say it directly." Li Xinyi stuttered.

  Yi Xiao Xiao said helplessly: "This bastard should go bankrupt, let's eat and drink to our heart's content, we must make him a pauper".

  "Am I just a scapegoat?" Chen Jiu took a sip of wine and handed the chopsticks to Li Xinyi.

  "It's not that you want to be, but you must be." Easy come, easy go with wine.

  After dinner, Yi Xiao took Li Xinyi away, Chen Jiu looked at the messy table and didn't want to clean it up. Now that the night was deep, he didn't want to trouble the little servant.

  Lying in bed, Chen Jiu immersed his gaze within his own body.

  Looking at the tray, Chen Jiu gritted his teeth: "Can't hesitate anymore, who knows if there's a time limit here. If there is a time limit, it'll be a waste of both life and money. The bold will die from exhaustion, the timid will starve to death. No big deal. I'm all in. Since I've had the chance to come to this place, it won't be easy for me to die."

  Chen Jiu finished speaking and straightened his back, took a few steps forward to the front of the table where offerings were placed, and slowly stretched out both hands to lift up the yellow cloth.

  "Could it be this thing?" Chen Jiu looked at the object in front of him, his face filled with surprise and uncertainty.

  The jade seal, wherever it is, manifests supreme authority, prestige and power.

  Take another look at the supply table, this jade seal is actually above the heavens and the earth, Chen Jiu's head is a mess.

  The jade seal in front of me is crystal clear and transparent, only the size of a fist, shining with a majestic aura that transcends all heavens and realms, with an unyielding will, but now it has a sense of being on its last breath, struggling to survive.

  On top of the jade seal is a strange beast, it can't be seen what kind of divine beast it is, it's just very majestic and has a lot of momentum.

  On the surrounding walls of the Jade Seal, there are carvings of all heavens and ten thousand realms, with immortals, great abilities, and various divine beasts paying homage to the sky.

  As he gazed at the jade seal, Chen Jiu's eyes were drawn to it like iron to a magnet, firmly fixed and unable to move away.

  The will of this jade seal is strong and majestic, but after feeling Chen Jiu's breath, or rather the breath in Chen Jiu's body, that resistant momentum gradually weakened and declined.

  Looking at the jade seal on the tray, Chen Jiu clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Good baby, good baby, it's really true that heaven has entrusted great responsibility to this person. I've suffered so much, trapped in a wolf's den since I was six years old, and this road has been fraught with difficulties. Is it not the case that from now on, my fortunes will change and everything will go smoothly?"
