With Sheng Ge's help, Su Yu felt as if he was being assisted by a god.
When night fell, he had already excavated 30 percent of the mountain. If he was given another two days, he would be able to level the whole mountain easily.
"Phew!" Su Yu let out a long breath, while beads of sweat appeared on his pale face. His back was also drenched in sweat.
Using the three small golden swords to excavate the mountain consumed a lot of his energy.
The Vital Energy in his inner and outer Dantians had been completely used up.
Buzz!
Sheng Ge came out of the ground. Her whole body was covered in black sludge, which covered her lovely body. However, it still couldn't conceal the delight on her face.
"A Level Two Fairy? It seems like you have obtained great benefits. "Su Yu was slightly surprised.
Sheng Ge replied excitedly, "Master, many thanks for your reward. The All Creation Ghost's blood essence is quite beneficial to me, as it helped me break through my bottleneck. If I can absorb the whole mountain's blood essence, I should be able to advance to the Level Three Fairy Realm."
Any part of the All Creation Ghost's body was like a divine treasure to a Fairy.
A single drop of blood essence was enough to kill an early stage Fairy.
"You deserve it. Now, tell me, what else did you find down there?" Su Yu asked.
After excavating one-third of the mountain, Su Yu had already obtained a large number of damaged items left behind by the Ghost Clan and the human clan. Moreover, the deeper he went, the more ancient items he found.
Su Yu had already obtained four damaged items from the Ghost Clan and three defective items from the human clan. There were books, magical treasures, and talismans.
There were also some items that were extremely rotten, which Su Yu threw away. He only kept some treasures that still had a spiritual nature.
"I can feel that there are more items with ghost energy fluctuations down there. If I excavate them all, I should be able to find at least ten to twenty Ghost Clan's items. However, I can't find out what kind of items they are." Sheng Ge licked her lips excitedly. Even though she didn't have any Ghost Clan's treasures, if she could find something suitable for her, and Su Yu was willing to give it to her, her power would surely increase greatly.
Su Yu's eyes lit up. Ten to twenty Ghost Clan's items? Those were just Ghost Clan's items. There were also human clan's items that she couldn't sense, so she guessed that there were at least twenty of them.
If he excavated all of them, it would be a great merit.
With a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes, Su Yu put Sheng Ge away, shook his clothes, and returned to his tent in the twilight.
What he did not know was that after he left, two young and slender figures with extremely powerful auras descended on the mountain peak.
"Is that the kid that Big Brother Shao wants us to deal with? He seems to have some ability. Even a tough bone like the Eighteen Linked Mountains was cut down by a third by him. It's really incredible, "the figure on the left said solemnly.
The person on the right lowered his head and looked at the foot of the mountain. He then curled up the corners of his mouth and said, "Only then would he be worthy of us attacking him. At first, I assumed that he was really just a Fairy Realm expert, and I was somewhat unwilling to trouble him by traveling such a long distance just to kill him. But, it seems like it isn't completely pointless. At least, we can interrogate him and uncover the Eighteen Linked Mountains' secrets! The astonishing treasures hidden beneath these eighteen mountains were no longer a secret. It's just that no one can easily excavate it. "
A gust of wind blew past, and the two figures bathed in the light of the setting sun disappeared like the wind.
— —
When he returned to his tent, the four demons, Zi Xuan, and Xue Qi had already returned.
Zi Xuan was untainted by even a speck of dust, and her hands were empty. She was sitting on the ground, lost in her thoughts. It seemed like she hadn't started excavating the black mountain.
As for Xue Qi, although she looked travel-worn, she had already stated that she had come here to investigate the disappearance case. So, she probably wasn't interested in excavating the black mountain.
Only the four demons were exhausted to varying degrees.
"Brother Shanliang, did you dig out a treasure?" Gongsun Wuxie's long and curly eyelashes were like a pair of big cattail leaf fans.
Bai Shanliang coughed dryly, smiled, and didn't reply.
It wasn't appropriate for him to announce it before the end.
Tian Renyao's eyes flickered, and he moved his butt closer to Bai Shanliang. He then rubbed his head against Bai Shanliang's chest and said coquettishly, "Brother Shanliang, tell me! I like you the most!"
Wah!
Bai Shanliang's face turned pale, and he spouted a mouthful of blood. Goosebumps appeared all over his body, and he quickly moved aside. "Don't! Can't I tell you? It's nothing much, as it's just a White Bone Whip that was once used by the Ghost Clan. "
As he spoke, Bai Shanliang took out a broken, snow-white bone whip from his sleeves.
"Judging from its grade, it was originally a spiritual artifact, but it's a pity that it was damaged. Now, it can only be compared to a semi-manufactured spiritual artifact." Bai Shanliang felt that it was a pity. "According to the manor's exchange rules, the Ghost Clan's items have important research significance, so they are worth quite a lot. This semi-manufactured spiritual artifact can be exchanged for 3,000 merit points."
Envy appeared on the faces of the other three demons when they heard him.
Bai Shanliang shook his head. "I was just lucky, as I managed to get one on the first day. I don't know whether I will be able to find more in the next two days. I might not even be able to get back the 10,000 merit points I spent."
Bai Shanliang's eyes flickered as he said with a smile, "Since I've already shown you what I got today, why don't you all show it to me? We don't compete with each other, so it won't be a bad thing for us to get to know each other."
When he heard this, Tian Renyao glanced at Su Yu and cast him a flirtatious glance. "Brother Yuxian, do you want to know?"
Su Yu felt a chill run down his spine, and he shook his head repeatedly.
Gongsun Wuxie chuckled. "I want to know."
Tian Renyao looked at Su Yu with a pitiful expression and said, "Brother Yuxian, do you dislike me so much? I'm really infatuated with you. "
"If you want to take it, then take it. If you speak another word, I will cut off your tongue. "Bing Wuxin furrowed her brows and reprimanded him.
Tian Renyao glared at Bing Wuxin with resentment, but he was still afraid of her murderous aura. He said resentfully, "I will take it."
Clang!
A melodious metallic sound echoed, and a Vajra Scepter, which only had half of it left, fell on the ground.
Even though it was very old, and the Vajra Scepter was filled with signs of decay, it still emitted a shocking Buddhist nature.
"A precious Buddhist treasure?" The three of them cried out in alarm. They were all quite surprised.
Bing Wuxin said, "The Buddhist Path is quite rare in the Central Prefecture and the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands. It's only during the great war between humans and ghosts a hundred years ago, when the human race was on the brink of extinction, that Buddhist cultivators appeared in the world and fought against the Ghost Clan. Most of the Buddhist cultivators died, and the rest of them lived in seclusion. It's said that the Buddhist Path's magical treasures are quite effective against the Ghost Clan, and the sanctum is quite interested in them."
She then added, "Although this Vajra Scepter has lost a great deal of its spiritual nature and isn't even as good as a semi-manufactured spiritual artifact, its value is probably the same as the White Bone Whip," Bing Wuxin said.
Tian Renyao grabbed the Vajra Scepter and rubbed it against his face. "This is my treasure, and I dug it out by accident. So, you mustn't snatch it from me."
Two people had dug out treasures in succession, and the only ones left were Bing Wuxin, Gongsun Wuxie, and Su Yu.
"I didn't." Bing Wuxin shook her head bluntly. "A fifth of this mountain was chopped off by me, and even half of the human race's treasures are missing."
Although her tone was calm, it was obvious that she was quite angry.
Su Yu had dug out a third of the mountain, which meant that he had seven of the human race's and ghost race's treasures. However, Bing Wuxin had dug out a fifth of the mountain, which was equivalent to half of what Su Yu had dug out.
Su Yu couldn't help but be surprised by this. It was only because he had Sheng Ge's help that he had managed to dig out a third of the mountain as easily as if he was cutting mud. Yet, Bing Wuxin had managed to dig out a fifth of the mountain all by herself. It could be seen from this that she was quite skilled, and she must have hidden tricks up her sleeves.
Next was Gongsun Wuxie, and everyone's gazes looked at the little demoness.
The little demoness pouted and tears welled up in her eyes as she threw herself into Bing Wuxin's embrace. Her face was filled with grief and bitterness as she said, "Sister Wuxin, we are both in the same boat. I dug for a whole day, but my hand trembled and broke it. I don't believe it, and it must have been that old Manor Master Zhang who did something to it. I want to poison him to death ten thousand times! "
When the crowd saw Gongsun Wuxie clenching her small fists angrily, they couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Even this little demoness would have such a day!
"If anyone dares to laugh at me, I will poison him to death tonight." The little demoness seemed to have sensed their laughter, and she raised her head fiercely as she bared her fangs and brandished her claws.
Shortly after, her purple eyeballs rolled, and she smiled through her tears as she looked at Bai Shanliang. "Brother Shanliang, you love me the most, so can you give me half of the White Bone Whip?"
Bai Shanliang shook his head and said, "That won't do, as I'm depending on this guy to make a comeback."
"Humph!" The little demoness bared her teeth and said, "Tomorrow, I will steal everything from your poison refinery room."
Bai Shanliang turned a deaf ear to her, and he just paid no attention to her, as if he was an old monk.
"You! You are infuriating me! "The little demoness looked at Tian Renyao angrily and asked," What about you? "
Tian Renyao rolled his eyes at her and snorted delicately. "My heart belongs only to brother Yuxian, and I am only willing to give it to him."
"Wow, you are infuriating me! Tomorrow, I will surely eat the whole mountain and see whether I can spit out a few treasures!" The little demoness swore fiercely.
The Demon Mountain's accomplishments on this day were quite impressive, as they had managed to dig out two great treasures on the first day.
"Fine, let's go to the manor and quickly exchange the treasures we dug out. We don't want any accidents to happen," Bai Shanliang said as he stood up.
The Ghost Clan's treasures had been buried underground for many years, and now that they had seen the light of day again, they would surely decay even faster. They would need to hand them over to the sanctum, which would use a special method to store them.
When the crowd was just about to stand up, Xue Qi was startled. "Aren't you going to take a look at Yao Wushang? Isn't he also part of your Demon Mountain? "
The four demons were startled. They didn't forget about Su Yu, as they had personally gone to the Eighteen Linked Mountains, and they were clearly aware of how hard these mountains were. They were afraid that Su Yu's Level Two Fairy Realm cultivation wouldn't be able to go through them.
This was why they didn't ask Su Yu about it, as they didn't want him to feel embarrassed and inferior among this group of experts.
However, since Xue Qi had brought it up on her own accord, they could only ask her about it.
"Junior brother Su, how was your luck? Did you dig out a single treasure?" Bai Shanliang asked Su Yu.
The other three demons also wore indifferent expressions as they waited for Su Yu's reply.
One treasure? Su Yu rubbed his nose. It seemed like there was more than one.
