Chapter 407 The Treasure of Immortality (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"Ha, having money in hand makes me feel so safe!"

The blood-stained donkey cart moved forward, with the little beggar sitting in the carriage, counting money with Gun Gun.

Ren Shaoyang drove the car, a blade of grass between his teeth, a bird's nest-like straw hat on his head, and said leisurely, "Leave some for the villagers of Fengxi Village."

“I know!” Hongxiu laughed. “They have to rebuild their homes.”

Ren Shaoyang nodded, just smiling.

“By the way, Cripple,” Hongxiu added, “I want to get a piece of land and try planting something.”

"Blood Bodhi?"

"OK!"

"I don't think we need to try it. This thing can't survive without Qilin blood and magma. Besides, planting it in Fengxi Village might kill them in the future."

Ren Shaoyang flatly refused.

Hongxiu puffed out her cheeks, pursed her lips, and then said, "Qilin blood is not difficult to obtain. We have so many scales, I can extract it all. Magma is also not difficult to obtain; the Ding'an Fire is extremely hot, so it can be used to irrigate."

"As for where to plant them, you can go to the mountains, then it'll be fine!"

After saying this, the little beggar blinked his eyes and stared at Ren Shaoyang in a cute manner. Seeing that he was still silent, he angrily slapped the roof of the car.

Benedict!
The roof was fine, but Ding'an jumped up, clutching his buttocks, yelling, "Hey, little beggar, what are you doing?!"

"All you do is grin like an idiot, why don't you even try to persuade the cripple?"

"If he disagrees, not even a donkey can pull him away. What's the use of my advice?"

"Hmph, what a useless man!"

"Tch, aren't you the same? And you're talking about me?"

Ding'an and the little beggar, one sticking their heads out of the car roof and the other out of the car window, started bickering with each other.

In the end, neither of them could convince the other, and they both started spitting at each other and resorting to dirty tricks.

Ren Shaoyang glanced at the little beggar and said indifferently, "Isn't it disgusting?"

"Ha, you cripple, do you agree or not? Give me a straight answer!"

The little beggar rushed up to him and took his arm.

“Planting it in the mountains isn’t safe either. Let’s find a flowerpot and make it into a bonsai,” Ren Shaoyang said. “It’s better for you to hold it every day than to affect others.”

"Alright!" Hongxiu saluted, then swiftly retreated into the carriage to prepare on her own.

Ren Shaoyang shook his head and continued driving.

At this moment, Ding'an leaned down and asked, "Crippled man, who won the final sword fight between you and Nameless?"

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said leisurely, "It's a draw."

“Liar!” Ding An shook his head and said, “I heard from Nie Feng that your skillful swords were evenly matched, your speed swords had the upper hand, and although he didn’t see the final power swords, he felt that they were about the same.”

"After three moves, two draws and one win, you still have to win!"

Ren Shaoyang slowly shook his head and said, "You can't look at it that way. Besides the sword techniques, I lost some ideas."

"idea?"

"It's something that looks mysterious, sounds mysterious, and appears mysterious."

"Oh~!"

Ding An nodded, and after a long while, he suddenly said, "Isn't that just something to fool people?"

“That’s what you call value,” Ren Shaoyang laughed. “If you don’t reach a certain level, you’re just fooling people. But once you reach that level, you can soar to great heights!”

“I don’t understand.” Ding’an shook his head. “It just doesn’t feel as interesting as cutting it out piece by piece.”

Ren Shaoyang lazily half-closed his eyes, gazing at the scenery along the riverbank. At this moment, the grass was lush and the birds were singing, the peach blossoms were red and the willows were green, and it was a bright and sunny day.

He sighed, then laughed and scolded, "Old Xi said you're like a wild boar that can't eat fine chaff, and that you've relied on luck to survive your whole life. He's absolutely right!"

Ding'an shrank back after being scolded and dared not say another word.

Just then, a small, white foot lifted the carriage curtain, revealing the beggar's amused face.

"Crippled man, where are we going next?"

"Your feet are sore!"

"Nonsense!" Hongxiu stretched out her little feet. "Where?!"

"Snapped!"

Ren Shaoyang grabbed her hand and tickled the soles of her feet with a wicked grin.

"Ouch, you cripple, you damn cripple, let go!"

The little beggar, his feet being grabbed, cried out like a leaping mermaid, his voice panicked, "It itches so much! It itches!"

Ren Shaoyang let go of her hand, and Hongxiu clutched her foot, groaning.

Ren the punk laughed and said, "Remember to wear your shoes next time. You're not a child anymore."

Hongxiu was furious: "You're cheating!"

Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow: "It's only natural to protect your younger sister, isn't that what you always say?"

"Don't push me, or I'll lose my temper!"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "Me, Ding'an, and even my sister are all standing together. What do you have to fight against me?"

Hongxiu's eyes widened and she shouted, "Wow, you're bullying a little girl!"

With her eyes reddening, the younger sister came online and laughed, "I like Brother Shaoyang the most! Sister Hongxiu, if you keep doing this, Brother will get angry."

Hongxiu: "Shut up! You little green tea!"

Little sister: "Hehe, nyah nyah nyah~"

Seeing the little beggar arguing with himself, Ren Shaoyang slapped his forehead and shook his head, sighing, "These problem children!" After they finished arguing, Hongxiu and her sister shook hands and made up, becoming the best of friends in the world again.

Ren Shaoyang said calmly, "I'm thinking about how to get a treasure that can grant immortality."

Immortality?!
Hongxiu's eyes lit up, and Ding'an also poked his head out.

What treasures are there?

"The most famous are the Four Auspicious Beasts," Ren Shaoyang said with a smile, "the Fire Qilin, the Divine Dragon, the Phoenix, and the Dragon Turtle."

"Wow!" Hongxiu exclaimed, drool dripping from her lips. "Is it delicious?"

"All you ever think about is eating!" Ren Shaoyang snapped irritably.

Hongxiu wasn't angry; she just chuckled.

Ding An said, "Little beggar, I've seen the Fire Qilin. That thing is ferocious, and it's also... insane!" He pointed to his own head, "It's insane!"

"Oh no, what's going on?" the little beggar frowned. "Everyone says the Fire Qilin is mentally unstable. Will we become stupid if we eat it?"

Ren Shaoyang said, "That's possible."

Ding'an chuckled, unaware that something was amiss.

Ren Shaoyang continued, "The essence and blood of the four auspicious beasts can not only increase one's power, but also grant immortality. They are the most coveted treasures for all martial artists. However, apart from the Fire Qilin and the Divine Dragon, the other two are no longer available."

"Who? Who dares to eat our food?!"

"The person who obtained the Phoenix Blood is called Di Shitian, and he loves to transform into thousands of forms to play around in the mortal world," Ren Shaoyang said. "He is the Wen Chou Chou that you will encounter in the World Society."

"It's him?"

The little beggar raised an eyebrow. "This person's aura is so sleazy, and, moreover, it doesn't seem very strong?"

"He was too untalented. Although he created his own divine skill, the 'Sacred Heart Technique,' he was still always beaten up."

Ren Shaoyang laughed, "We might not be able to beat him one-on-one, but if the three of us attack together, he'll definitely run away!"

The little beggar was stunned for a moment, and said, "This, this person is so lewd, hasn't he lived for a thousand years in vain?"

"Ha, this man is a disgrace to the immortals!"

Ren Shaoyang continued, "The dragon turtle's power of immortality was inherited by a person named Xiao Sanxiao, who has lived for thousands of years and is far more powerful than Di Shitian."

Ding An asked, "Was that dragon turtle eaten by Xiao Sanxiao?"

"No, it seems he didn't obtain the power from killing the dragon turtle," Ren Shaoyang shook his head. "Besides, it's said that the dragon turtle's shed shell is in the ancient city of Loulan, and it's engraved with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth—it's incredibly powerful!"

"Hey! This is a real treasure!" Hongxiu's eyes lit up. "Let me do some divination, and then we'll go to the desert and bring back the giant tortoise shell!"

"This is great, safe and easy!" Ding'an clapped his hands repeatedly.

Ren Shaoyang thought about it carefully and smiled, "Indeed, this is the easiest longevity artifact to obtain."

Hongxiu asked, "What about the last dragon?"

"The divine dragon dwells in the Fire Lake, an island in the heart of the lake deep in the sea, and is protected by the aquatic tribes for generations. In terms of power, it can be called the leader of the four auspicious beasts."

Ren Shaoyang said slowly, "Now is not the time. We must wait until the dragon is weak and then attack its seven vital points to kill it!"

"Hmm, let's put the dragon aside for now." Hongxiu sat cross-legged, rubbing her chin with one hand as she pondered. "For now, we should study the blood of the Fire Qilin and cultivate the Blood Bodhi. Once we obtain the Great Tortoise Shell and our strength increases significantly, then we can consider the dragon."

Ding'an clapped his hands in approval: "The little beggar is right!"

Ren Shaoyang readily agreed: "The rest will depend on your research capabilities."

Hongxiu chuckled: "My research on 'Dancing with Poison' has become increasingly profound recently. Once I neutralize the toxins of the 'Hundred Days Ten Dragons Pill' and combine it with Qilin blood to refine the pill again, I will surely create a divine medicine that is no less than the Limitless Immortal Pill!"

Ding'an patted his belly and continued to cheer, "Little beggar, you're right!"

Gun Gun, who was standing nearby, listened intently. When he heard the words "Limitless Immortal Pill," he secretly slurped his saliva.

The journey was long and arduous, undertaken under the moon and stars. The donkey cart traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently, until one day it arrived at Nan'an Town, a small town in Zhejiang Province.

Nestled between mountains and the sea, this place is a bustling hub of commerce and trade, a place of great prosperity and peace.

Having spent a long time in the donkey cart, the three of them couldn't resist seeking out a place to eat when they saw such a bustling town.

The three traveled for a while when the little beggar suddenly pointed to a boat and exclaimed, "Crippled man, one-handed man, this place is absolutely delicious!"

The two looked as instructed and saw boats bustling with people, and a wine shop sign on the shore with three large characters.

The Never-Sleeping Boat!
"Hmm, looks good." Ren Shaoyang nodded. "As the saying goes, those who live by the mountain eat from the mountain, and those who live by the sea eat from the sea. If you want to eat fish, and good fish, you really have to be on a boat."

Hongxiu said happily, "Great! Since we're here, we can't miss this opportunity."

After parking the donkey cart, Ding'an fed the donkey a few carrots, and the three of them quickly walked into the Never-Night Boat.

This large ship, about two stories high, with vermilion railings and green tiles, was very spacious and elegant. At that time, the sky was dim and the setting sun shone down, making the sea water shimmer with gold, like a flowing, soft silk ribbon.

Inside the boat, someone was playing and singing; the melodious sounds of string and wind instruments created an exceptionally elegant atmosphere.

Hongxiu ordered three jugs of Shaoxing wine, steamed fish, seafood, and seasonal vegetables, as well as a jug of pre-Qingming Longjing tea and several kinds of fine snacks, and then sent the boy away.

Soon, the drinks, food, and snacks were served.

The three of them picked up their chopsticks, took a bite, and nodded slightly. Although it wasn't as refined as the food in the Southern Song Dynasty palace, it had its own unique flavor.

Both of them had a hearty appetite, and Ren Shaoyang pointed to the sea with a smile, telling stories of One Piece. The little beggar and Ding'an listened and ate at the same time, exclaiming in surprise, finding it truly a delicious meal.

Just as the three were enjoying their carefree life, they heard a clattering sound and a scholar walked in from outside. He wore a square scarf askew, had a pointed chin, and two mustaches that looked like two rat tails hanging straight down in front of his chest.

He shuffled in, wearing worn-out shoes, his shifty eyes darting left and right as if he wanted to steal something.

The scholar looked in Ren Shaoyang's direction, his eyes suddenly narrowed, then flashed with a sharp light, and he thought to himself:
"This is... this is a sword that is unparalleled in the world!"

A chill ran down his spine: "Such an unparalleled sword could not possibly belong to anyone else but the 'Sword God' that the Sword Saint spoke of!"

"Ah! His Dragon-Capturing Sword is said to be the most exquisite sword technique in the world," the scholar exclaimed inwardly. "I really want to see it for myself!"
