The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 175 The Little Paper Doll is Injured (2nd Update)
Ginseng Fruit almost vomited: [Oh my god, is that porcelain family crazy? This clay is actually Hirano Jiro...]

"You're overthinking it. There's no Hirano Jiro's body in this mud, but there is his soul. He must have escaped after he died, but his soul was sealed in this mud."

That guy named Blank clearly comes from a wealthy family; he even got the clay from a porcelain-making family's cellar.

How could someone like that not test the composition of the mud? If it contained a corpse, it would never have reached his hands.

Back at the hotel, Hirano Jiro, inside the mutated Qilin figurine, asked anxiously, "Master Yun, did you find out?"

Yunran placed the mud that Tan Chengbi had given her in front of Hirano Jiro.

"Your presence is in this mud. This mud is from a porcelain family in Japan that has been storing it for over a hundred years. Your soul has been sealed away."

Hirano Jiro fell silent. No wonder he didn't remember how he died.

It turns out that he had been sealed away, and if someone hadn't turned him into a figurine, he probably would never have been able to wake up.

"Don't worry, I'm honest and trustworthy. Since I said I'd help you find the cause of your death, I won't go back on my word. You've just woken up, and your soul is still very weak, making you susceptible to evil thoughts. It's better for you to stay asleep."

As a Xuan Master, Hirano Jiro naturally understood Yunran's meaning; he was worried that Yunran would be unable to control himself and become an evil spirit.

He nodded immediately: "Then I'll have to trouble Master Yun."

Yunran formed hand seals and quickly sealed Hirano Jiro, allowing him to continue his slumber.

The mutant mythical beast figurines have finally stopped appearing, and they're now no different from normal figurines.

Meanwhile, the blind Taoist priest and the little paper figure stuck to him finally arrived at the volcano near where they had dug up the Nine Yang Grass.

The temperature here is very high. The blind Taoist priest was wearing a special protective suit, but even though there was a small fan inside the suit, he was still soaked through.

The little paper figure was unaffected, coming and going freely, helping the blind Taoist priest find the Nine Yang Grass.

Watching the little paper figure fly away, it would be a lie to say that the blind Taoist priest wasn't envious. Who would have thought that one day he would actually envy the abilities of a little paper figure?

But soon, the little paper figure flew back, its voice soft: "There are people over there, and they're acting suspiciously."

Upon hearing this, the blind Taoist priest immediately became furious. He had spent 10 billion to obtain the exact location of the Nine Yang Grass, and now these people were trying to steal it from him!
Suddenly, I wasn't tired anymore, and with all my strength, I followed the little paper figure and ran in that direction.

When the blind Taoist priest saw the people, his eyes widened in disbelief. Wasn't this the small group they had temporarily formed earlier?

Why are they here too? Suddenly, a very bad thought popped into my head.

The other party also saw the blind Taoist priest, but only felt awkward for a short while before generously stepping forward.

"Oh, it's Brother Han! I didn't expect you to be here too. I wonder how much you paid for this information."

At that moment, only one word was on the blind Taoist priest's mind: unscrupulous merchant!
"So how much did you spend?"

He spent 10 billion to buy a piece of information, and he was being treated like a sucker, so naturally he couldn't let anyone else know about it. Otherwise, what face would he have left?

But clearly, the other party thought the same way; having been ripped off, no one wanted to talk about something so embarrassing.

"Not many. Oh, by the way, how's your search going?"

Seeing that the other party wasn't fixated on asking about money, the blind Taoist priest immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they were just a temporary group before, but now they are competitors. Who would be foolish enough to tell the other the truth?

"I just arrived and I'm looking for a team. Want to join?" The other person gave an awkward laugh. Everyone's here, who's going to team up? Nobody's stupid.

"This place is so big, if we split up we'll find it faster, and we can travel together on the way back."

As they spoke, the two parted ways. The moment they passed each other, the smiles on their faces vanished simultaneously. What a load of rubbish!
The little paper figure obediently stuck to the blind Taoist priest's back, and only continued to help search after the priest left.

But after a short while, they encountered other people. The blind Taoist priest was speechless. He now truly admired the person who sold the information; their money-making skills were incredible.

"Found it!"

The little paper figure flew out of a hole the size of a dog hole, covered in volcanic ash, and looked like a little gray man.

As more and more people gathered, the blind Taoist priest lost all hope. But to his surprise, the little paper doll actually helped him find it.

He hurried toward the hole the little paper figure had found. It was pitch black inside, and the hole was so small that even a child would have a hard time climbing in.

After probing for a while, they were even more certain that there was a long tunnel inside the opening, and it would be very difficult to break through it.

But then the little paper figure chimed in, "There are many inside."

Now, the blind Taoist priest was in a panic, pacing around in circles. It was no different from being starving but only able to look at a Manchu Han Imperial Feast through a huge pane of glass.

Although the little paper doll had gained sentience, its emotional intelligence was questionable: "Why don't you go inside?"

If he could get in, would he still be here outside scratching his head in frustration?

"I can't get in."

The little paper figure suddenly realized: "Oh, so you can't get in. Then I'll go in and pull it out!"

Blind Taoist Priest: ...

For a fleeting moment, he suspected that the little paper figure was doing it on purpose.

After waiting for a while, the little paper figure flew out of the cave, carrying five or six Nine Yang Grasses in its two small hands. He could even see the struggling expression on the little paper figure's face.

After flying out, the little paper figure slumped to the ground, its round hands, like Doraemon's, pounding its legs in a very human-like manner.

The blind Taoist priest happily accepted the plump Nine Yang Grass, but as soon as he put it down, he turned around and saw the little paper figure collapse to the ground.

He quickly picked up the little paper figure and then noticed that it had countless small cracks on its body.

The blind Taoist priest's expression changed drastically. Although he didn't know exactly how strong the little paper doll was, he knew that under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to find a force that could harm it.

The fact that the paper doll is in this state can only mean one thing: these Nine Yang Grasses have guardian beasts, and the paper doll has been injured by one of them.

At that moment, the alarm on the protective suit went off, a sign that the nearby volcano was about to erupt again.

The blind Taoist priest immediately turned and ran. The others also had warning alarms on them, so they didn't need anyone and followed him to the outer perimeter.

Fortunately, they all had protective magical artifacts on them; otherwise, they would have really perished here.

The little paper figure lying on the blind Taoist priest was completely wilted, as if it had died.
