The third volume, chapter four (part one): Dung is equal to treasure

  In the sky, there were floating thick and large clouds, shining with bright colors, shaped like various strange beasts. On each cloud, a beautiful woman wearing colorful clothes stood with her snow-white feet bare, dancing lightly. Petals of vibrant flowers fell from the sky, fluttering down, filling the air with intense fragrance.

  Suddenly seeing so many beauties, my eyes are really busy. The Sky of Desire is indeed aptly named, with more beauties than ants. Their colorful ribbons hang down from the clouds, thousands of feet long, all the way to the top of their heads, gently swaying. Just tiptoeing, you can touch them, and maybe even grab the ribbon and climb up, touching and caressing.

  As I looked down, my feet were on a colorful and vast mountain range, stretching far into the distance. There, rivers sparkled like crystals, inlaid among layer upon layer of forests and grasslands. Faintly, there was also the sound of melodious songs drifting over. A warm breeze blew by, seemingly carrying a sweet scent, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath and exclaim: "It's too beautiful!"

  "What's wrong with you?" Suddenly, Yue Leng's voice came from the middle finger of her left hand. She flipped her small green bean eyes: "You can only stay in the Colorful Sky for a short time, hurry up and find something useful!"

  A cup of tea? Oh grandma, it's so short! I hurriedly collected my thoughts and looked for the treasure. The beauty in the air didn't have time to study either, after all, finding treasure comes first, finding beauty comes second.

  At this moment, I am standing on the top of a high mountain, surrounded by all kinds of plants. Some look like giant pumpkins, with small red fruits constantly popping out of the pumpkin mouth and disappearing onto the ground. Others are extremely dense, with hundreds of thick, long vines surrounding a dark green ball-shaped stem, shaking like snakes. There are also flowers that resemble wild beasts, with shiny claws growing on the edges of their petals, which will swing their claws and make strange roaring sounds when approached.

  I was dazzled and for a moment didn't know what to choose. Anyway, the more the better, I didn't say another word, and with the momentum of a starving tiger pouncing on its prey, I rushed towards those flowers.

  "What are you doing?" Yue Hun asked in surprise.

  "Of course, we pulled out and took everything away."

  "Then you try it."

  Isn't there something mysterious about it? I hesitated for a moment, grabbed the nine-leaf purple flower red fruit clover in front of me, and gently pulled it out. Hmm? It can't be pulled out? I immediately added a few more points to my hand, "puff", the mud splashed, and a big round radish jumped out together with the roots of the clover. The big radish suddenly cracked open a seam, like a big mouth that had been split open, and fiercely bit at me.

  "My goodness, the flowers and grass here are not only strange, but they also bite! I was shocked and quickly let go of the芝草, dodging to the side. The芝草 fell to the ground, along with a large radish, and melted into a green liquid that slowly seeped into the earth, disappearing in an instant."

  "What's going on here?"

  Yuè Hún Dào said: "In the Realm of Desire, obtaining treasures is not as easy as you think. Once you obtain the Lingzhi Grass, after pulling it out, you must never let it touch the ground again, or else it will be dissolved by the earth's energy. Moreover, many treasures have guardians nearby, such as that large radish connected to the roots of the Lingzhi Grass, which is its guardian. Therefore, when obtaining treasures, one must not only be extremely cautious but also quick, lest they be attacked by the guardians. Furthermore, in the Realm of Desire, it is impossible to use any magical techniques."

  I cried out in frustration, only to find that I still couldn't use magic. Moon Soul said calmly, "Aren't you skilled in charming dance? Charming dance is a peerless martial skill, different from magic, and can be performed even in the Realm of Desire."

  My heart skipped a beat as I casually said, "Moon Soul, you seem to know a lot of things. Have you been here before?"

  Yuè Hún's mouth slanted to one side: "No need to pry into my secrets, when the time comes, I will naturally tell you. You should focus on finding treasure instead."

  I smiled awkwardly, my eyes fixed on a protruding rock to the left, where there was a fine crack in the middle of the rock. From the crack, a bowl-sized flower stretched out, its color snowy white and emitting a faint fragrance. The most peculiar thing was that the center of the white flower was constantly flowing with nectar, dripping onto the stone and immediately condensing into a thin layer of frost, clearly a rare treasure.

  I cautiously walked over, my left hand swiftly reached out and grabbed the stem of the flower, pulling it out with force. At that very moment, a small blue-scaled snake darted out from the crack in the rock and pounced on me like lightning. At the same time, the center of the white flower suddenly sprayed out a stream of cold nectar, shooting straight at my face!

  I let out a soft cry, and with a wave of my hand, I leapt into the air, arching my body to avoid the venomous fangs of the two-headed snake. At the same time, I flung the white flower upwards, dodging the jet of liquid that shot out. Then, I arched my body backwards, and with a precise kick from my left foot, I struck the seven-inch mark on the two-headed snake, sending it flying. Next, I stretched out my hand and effortlessly caught the white flower as it fell back down from mid-air.

  These few moves of the charming dance were like clouds and flowing water, done in one breath. Holding onto the white flower, I felt very pleased with myself. Yuè Hún, however, let out a languid sigh: "Alas, you've ruined the charming dance."

  "Whatever!" I glanced at it disdainfully, put the white flower in my bosom, and pounced on a plant like an octopus. Before I got close, dozens of green tentacles wrapped around me. I used the charm dance again, and with dizzying speed, I dodged the intercepting tentacles and grabbed the deep yellow fruit at the top of the plant.

  The fruit was cool to the touch, and before I could take a closer look, it melted into juice in my palm. I was taken aback and cast an inquiring glance at Yuè Hún.

  Yuehun hummed: "I forgot to tell you, every time you ascend, you can only take one thing from the Color Desire Heaven, and you can't take more. Unless you throw away that white flower just now, otherwise, no matter what treasure you pick up, it will melt in your hand."

  "Is there such a ridiculous reason? Why didn't you say so earlier?" I was stunned, since we could only take one treasure, we had to choose the most valuable one. I took out the white flower and asked: "What's the use of this flower?"

  Yuehun Dao said: "This is called Frost Flower, it can cure heat poison, and it's not particularly precious. In the Red Dust Heaven, you can buy it for 10,000 two silver coins."

  "What's considered precious then?" I asked curiously.

  Yuè Hún Dào said: "The flowers and grasses here are not the real treasures. Time is running out, you'd better go somewhere else to find them."

  I hastily looked around and the other side of the mountain top was shrouded in a sea of clouds, a vast expanse of white, nothing could be seen. Moon Soul said: "Go take a look."

  "I asked inexplicably: 'What could be there?'"

  "True treasures often grow in hard-to-reach places; otherwise, they would have been taken away by flying demons long ago. What chance do you have?"

  I walked over with a mixture of faith and doubt, gradually getting deeper into the sea of clouds. The white clouds surrounded me on all sides, covering up all the scenery, I walked very carefully because my line of sight was blocked by the cloud and fog, if I wasn't careful, my foot would land in mid-air and I would fall off the cliff.

  After walking for a while, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear and open. It turned out that I had already passed through the sea of clouds. The mountain road ahead was rugged and stretched far away, with strange rocks standing on both sides, indeed a different world.

  "Rustle, rustle", a flock of golden large birds flew out from the rocky cluster, with sturdy bodies and human faces, crying like babies. They dropped a pile of bird droppings and flew away in a hurry.

  The mountain path became increasingly narrow, with the narrowest point being only a few inches wide. I took a few more steps forward, and a steep stone beam rose from the ground, extending diagonally outward. Below the beam was an abyss of thousands of feet, with colorful mist swirling around it, making it impossible to see the bottom. At the end of the beam was a precipice, surrounded by entwined vines, dense woods, and deep roots that dug into the rugged crevices. In the center of the precipice, there was a dark cave, half-hidden by grasses and trees.

  Yuehundao said: "Go take a look over there."

  I leaped onto the stone beam and quickly scurried towards the opposite precipice. At this moment, a strange beast slowly crawled out of the mountain cave, with a cow's head and a turtle's body, its two eyes glowing red as it lazily let out a few cries towards the sky. Then it lay still, its short tail covered in scales twitching back and forth, as if it was taking a dump.

  "Shut up and get down." Moon Soul suddenly shot a strange color, I very sensibly complied, this little guy had obviously been to the Color Desire Heaven, so temporarily had to listen to its plans.

  With a whoosh, from the depths below, a pale-faced white-clad child suddenly jumped up, climbed up the steep cliff, and walked straight towards the monster. The latter didn't move, the child stretched out his hand to the monster's buttocks, pulled out a white bead, put it in his bosom, and then leaped down into the depths again.

  I was left bewildered, just about to ask Moon Soul when another red-faced old man in a red robe jumped up from the depths below, walked towards the monster, and pulled out a red bead from under its buttocks before leaping back down into the depths. Since I was lying on the stone beam, neither the child nor the old man noticed me.

  "Quick! Throw away the Frost Flower and go dig out the monster's anus! Hurry!"

  Damn it! Is this really necessary? I didn't have time to think twice, gritted my teeth and threw away the Frost Flower worth 10,000 two silvers, rushed out and pounced on the monster. The monster was still lazily lying in front of the cave, without any reaction. My right hand flashed towards its butt, a round bead was rolling out from its anus, I picked it up and took a look, it's an emerald green bead, crystal clear and translucent, with a hint of residual heat. Fucking hell, this bead is indeed the monster's shit!

  A green shadow flashed, and a beautiful woman in a green skirt suddenly appeared on the stone bridge. She was stunningly beautiful, with a snowy white bosom half-exposed, her emerald eyes fixed tightly on the pearl in my hand.

  I had a sudden movement in my heart, guessing that this woman was the same as Tonzhi and Lao Tou, all of whom came to dig for pearls, but unexpectedly I got there first.

  The beauty smiled at me and said: "Young man, what is that thing in your hand?"

  "This is our family heirloom."

  The beauty stroked her chest, scolded: "Young master is really good at joking, this is obviously a slave's thing. Return it to me, the slave is willing to exchange everything." She threw a flirtatious glance, her fragrant shoulders swayed, and her green skirt slowly fell off.

  My mouth is dry and my tongue is parched, hot blood rushes to my forehead. Damn it, this woman's words are so refreshing. The beauty sways her willow waist, step by step approaching me, the snow-white thighs filled with lush grass, full of temptation. I suddenly break out in a cold sweat, not knowing what to do for the better.

  "Boom", a loud noise echoed in my mind, and the scene before me suddenly disappeared. I spun around and flew up, everything around me turned pitch black, and in the depths of darkness, a door slowly opened to me, shining brightly.
