If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 535 The real treasure!
Although Grandma Yu believed that she had obtained the "Water Palace Exploration Permit" from the Taoist Ancestor, God, and the Master of the Water Palace, she still didn't dare to walk in.

She was like a demining soldier on the battlefield, starting from the outermost edge and moving inwards little by little.

It took five full days to build a straight road that was ten feet wide and thirty miles long.

Even though she saw a red fruit tree with dozens of red fruits in the grass not far away, she would not allow the river monster to leave the "safe straight path" she had opened up.

"Idiot, what are a few dozen red fruits? This is the ancient water palace. Don't you know what the most important thing in the water palace is?"

Faced with Grandma Yu's stern rebuke, the demon grandchildren asked in bewilderment, "What's the most important thing?"

"It is the central hub for controlling this water palace! If we control the central hub, everything here will belong to us." Xiao Yu said in a deep voice.

“What is the master hub?”

Xiaoyu was speechless.

This was the first time she had encountered the Water Palace in her two lifetimes combined, so she had no idea what the main switch of the Water Palace was.

It's just that I read some Xianxia online novels in my previous life, which included plots about exploring ruins.
"You are all water monsters. You may have lived in the Water Palace, but calling your stinking cesspool the 'Water Palace' lowers the style of the 'Water Palace'.

At least you have seen the Water Palace of the Water God of Liusha River. How does the old turtle control the Water Palace?"

Black King Kong said: "The River God's Water Palace is a palace built in a large puddle.

Apart from being built in water, it is no different from the palace of an emperor on earth.

Every time the river god expanded the water palace, he would ask us to bring our children to perform labor service for several months or even years.

There is a lot of sand in the Liusha River, so we have to mine stones from the mountains beside the river!

It was very tiring to trim the stones into pieces and then carry them one by one to the big water hole hundreds of miles away."

"Is there nothing magical about the entire Water God's Palace? Didn't the River God set up any defensive magic array or water-isolating magic barrier?" Xiao Yu asked.

"There should be, but I'm just a rough guy and I don't understand the Dharma Realm and the Talisman Formation." Black King Kong scratched his head.

"The central hub that controls the Dharma Realm and the Talisman Array is what we are looking for."

Xiaoyu looked around again.

This place is just like the "eye of the vortex" outside, with abundant water spiritual power, and dense green light spots flashing in the air.

Apart from this, there is no other light source.

Perhaps it is due to the lack of natural light, or perhaps this place lacks other spiritual energy besides the water element of the Five Elements. Although there are flowers, plants and trees, they all seem to be underdeveloped, and there are no particularly tall trees.

The most luxuriant purple bamboo and unknown trees are only seven or eight meters high.

But Xiaoyu is a human being, and her height is so great that the grass and vines are enough to block most of her vision.

"Black King Kong, you stand here and stack up with Pang Tiegu."

"What is stacking people?" Black Kong was confused.

"You stand on his shoulders or palms, and I will stand on top of you." Xiaoyu said.

"Grandma, can't you fly?" asked the fat grandson.

"Be serious, we are exploring the cave of an ancient immortal! Fatal restrictions may appear anywhere, and if they are triggered, people will die.

You are not allowed to go anywhere else except the path we have blazed out. You are not allowed to walk around randomly, and you are certainly not allowed to fly around randomly."

Grandma Yu has read many online novels with treasure hunting plots. She has zero actual experience, but she has a lot of ideas and theories.

The river monsters are ignorant and just do whatever grandma says.

Soon, the demon grandson and demon child piled up into a two-meter-high "sentry tower".

Black King Kong raised his hands high above his head with his palms spread out, and let Pang Tiegu stand on them. The fat grandson followed suit and let his godmother's small feet fall on his broad and hard crab claws.

It is true that the higher you stand, the farther you can see, and your vision is much broader.

Xiaoyu opened his magic eye and, with the help of his spiritual eye, performed a half-baked "Qi-seeing Technique".

People have qi, and things have qi too.

The art of qi-watching is essentially not much different from "knowing a woman by her scent" or "knowing athlete's foot by smelling her boots."

They all represent the original energy of people or things, which interact with heaven and earth and leak out.

The skill of observing this leaking energy with the eyes is called qigong.

Restoring one's own energy and disguising it is the "Village Girl Sword" that Xiaoyu practiced a few days ago.

"The Sword of the Village Girl" mainly observes the temperament, appearance, movements, expressions, and facial features of all living beings. It is still far from directly looking at people's aura.

What's more, at this time, one is not looking for the aura of people, but the precious aura of things, looking for the "general hub of the immortal palace."

"Ah~~~"

To Xiaoyu's surprise, as soon as he started the Qi-gazing technique, a large area of ​​dazzling nine-colored auspicious light rushed towards him.

The light is so strong that it even contains powerful power.

Xiaoyu's eyes felt stinging, and her soul felt like it had been hit hard by a battering ram.

She screamed in pain and her body staggered.

Fortunately, Black Kong was very stable, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"We seem to have become prosperous. I saw a treasure, a real treasure. The aura of the treasure is as strong as the sun at noon in midsummer."

Xiaoyu covered her red and tearful eyes, her voice trembling with excitement.

Even with her rudimentary skill of observing qi, she could directly see the precious qi that was so bright that it hurt her eyes, which shows how rich and strong the precious qi was.

"Where is the treasure? Is the treasure aura very strong? I don't see anything." The monsters asked in confusion.

"You don't know how to read qi."

Xiaoyu paused, his mind calmed down a little, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

Even if they don't understand the art of qigong, given the treasure's powerful aura, mortals should be able to sense it.

There are many classic lines in "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng", one of which is "The dragon's light shines on the ruins of Niudou", which refers to the excavation process of the two swords, Longquan and Tai'a.

Tai'a and Longquan were placed in stone boxes and buried deep in the soil.

Theoretically, it would be impossible to be discovered without digging the ground. But the sword was spiritual, and its aura was so strong that it shot directly into the sky, shining between the two stars of the 28 constellations, the Ox and the Dipper, and its brilliance could compete with the light of the stars.

Not to mention the Qigong practitioners who use the Qi-gazing technique, even ordinary mortals with sharp eyes can detect any abnormality.

Xiaoyu had never seen the Tai'a and Longquan swords, but she was very sure that the light emitted by the two swords could never be as bright as the sun. It only made her eyes hurt, and even her soul was impacted by the mysterious power.

Ordinary people can occasionally feel the powerful light of Tai'a and Longquan.

Now inside the Water Palace, Black King Kong and other water monsters are only ten miles away from the treasure, so why are they unaware of it?
Not to mention Black Kong, even before she activated the Qi-reading technique, she also——

Xiaoyu blinked and rubbed her eyes. Although she didn't activate the Qi-gazing technique, there was still a bright light flickering in the distance.

"Look there, is there a precious light?" she asked, pointing at the brilliant light.

"I only saw a vine with small purple flowers, but no precious light." said Black King Kong.

"Grandma, I didn't see any precious light."

"Grandma, we don't know how to read air."

Xiaoyu suddenly had an inspiration and had an epiphany: this was her chance!

"Stay here and don't move. I'll go over and take a look."

"Mom, if you go there alone and encounter a life-threatening ban, we won't have enough time to cooperate with you in forming a military formation." said Black King Kong.

The water snake Xiaolu also said: "Grandma, anyway, we have opened up a road of dozens of miles.

It is better to continue to open a road, which will only delay you for a few days. It is always safer to have us follow you. "

Xiao Yu shook her head and said, "That treasure must be destined for me, and I will definitely not encounter any danger on this trip.

You probably have no chance of meeting it, and if you follow it, you might scare away the spiritual treasure."

She was not sure whether she could find the treasure, and she did not know what the treasure was, but she believed in her feeling: the treasure seemed to be destined to her. At least it would not be dangerous.

"Remember, don't run around, and don't leave the safe path we have opened without permission. Black Kong, keep an eye on them."

After giving some instructions again, Xiaoyu pushed aside the bushes and walked towards the direction of the purple vines.

The magical fruits and herbs encountered on the road had enticing aroma wafting into Xiaoyu's nose, but he remained unmoved.

It went very smoothly and there were no accidents along the way.

After walking about eight miles, she came to a dilapidated stone pavilion.

The purple flowered vines they had seen earlier had grown very thick, with layer after layer of lush flowers and leaves, like a veil that covered the pillars and ceiling of the stone pavilion, making people mistakenly think that it was just a bunch of lush vines.

However, in another direction, the steps and entrance of the stone pavilion were not blocked by vines.

Xiaoyu jumped lightly and landed on the stone steps.

There was a thick layer of moss on the stone steps, which showed that no one had been here for many years.

The stone pavilion was relatively clean, with only a few dead leaves on the stone table and chairs.

The "treasure" that Xiaoyu saw using the art of looking at qi was placed on the stone table.

It is a jade book, about the size and thickness of a small 8.8-inch tablet.

Xiaoyu walked up and took a closer look. The jade book was milky white with a hint of green.

It was as if the white clouds covered the blue sky, and the white clouds were flowing, revealing patches of blue sky from time to time.

It should be a jade book because there are four big characters written on its cover.

Like the "Jihe Water Palace" at the entrance of the cave, it is a very ancient seal script that can be directly understood.

As long as there is enough Tao energy and Tao rhyme in your body, you will be able to recognize the characters.

"Eight-Nine-Mysterious Art, this is the 'Eight-Nine-Mysterious Art'?!"

Xiaoyu's cheeks quickly turned red and her head felt a little dizzy.

"Calm down, calm down, maybe it's just the same name."

After taking a few deep breaths, Xiaoyu forced himself to calm down and reached out to the jade book with trembling hands.

When she had stretched out her hand halfway, her mind became clearer than before and she pulled her hand back.

He took two steps back, knelt on the ground, and bowed three times to the jade book on the stone table. "Disciple Yu Fengxian, thank you, Lord of Ji River, for giving me the Dharma. I will definitely use it for the right cause and will never dare to do evil."

After the worship, she chanted a few more words of "May the Three Pure Ones bless you" before getting up, wiping her hands on her clothes several times, and then carefully taking the jade book.

The jade book felt a little cool in her hand, but her heart was burning with joy: the jade book did not reject her, nor did it suddenly disappear!
The owner of the jade book recognized her as her destined person!
No matter who this fairy fate originally belonged to, it belongs to her now!
"Thank you, Lord of Ji River, for the Dharma. Thank you, Three Pure Ones, for the blessings~~"

She held the jade book in her hands and muttered to herself several times.

In this world, such behavior is by no means in vain.

Because she wasn't exploring "ancient ruins".

The ruins may have no owner, as the original owner has long disappeared in the long river of time.

This is a real water palace!
The Water Palace has a master, who is a great immortal. The immortal is most likely still alive and well, and maybe he is watching her from the sky right now!

After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Xiaoyu sat on the stone bench and slowly opened the jade book.

One by one, mysterious words swam out of the jade book like tadpoles, accompanied by brilliant auspicious light and the fluctuations of profound laws, forming a torrent that rushed towards Xiaoyu's face.

"Ah, there really is a treasure light. Grandma is right. The treasure light is so strong and powerful."

The river monsters several miles away kept staring at Grandma Yu's back.

Even when they saw her disappear into the bushes, they did not look away.

Now when Xiaoyu opened the jade book, the strong aura of treasure was already visible to the naked eye. They even felt that the light was extremely dazzling for a moment and closed their eyes slightly.

In addition to the colorful auspicious cloud-like precious light gushing out, there were also mysterious and incomprehensible law fluctuations that swept across the entire water palace.

They felt something but didn't know why, they just shouted "How awesome!"

This is exactly what Yuanshi Tianzun was worried about.

The real Dafa is not just a few lines of words; it contains powerful power and spirituality in itself.
