Chapter 171 Discovering the Location of the Treasure Vault

After Ji Daoyi and his Crescent Moon met up, they immediately began their search!

Because the area where the ruins are located is very large, Ji Daoyi had Crescent Moon arrange for its many underlings to join the search. Under Crescent Moon's command, they scattered like celestial maidens scattering flowers!

Ji Daoyi and Wu De did not slack off at all, searching carefully in an area like two diligent little bees!

after an hour,

Ji Daoyi and Wu De searched everywhere like headless flies, but they did not find the treasure trove that the fat Taoist Wu De had mentioned.

Of course, Ji Daoyi simply skipped over the stone gate where Pei Buxing was located.

After all, that stone gate didn't look like a treasure vault at all; it looked more like a trial ground.

Ji Daoyi stopped and complained to Wu De, who was panting heavily, "Fatty, didn't you say that the Lotus Sect must have a treasure vault? We've been searching for an hour and haven't even seen a trace of it. You're not kidding me, are you?"

"Brother Dao, how could I dare to lie to you! The treasure vault definitely exists, it's probably in some remote corner that we just haven't discovered yet."

"If we still can't find it, our cooperation will end here. Then you go your way and I'll go mine."

"Don't worry, if we really can't find it, I will definitely not follow you anymore!"

Only after receiving Wu De's verbal assurance did Ji Daoyi continue the search with him.

Before long, Crescent Moon brought back a message.

"Crescent Moon, are you sure your little brother isn't lying?" Ji Dao asked incredulously upon hearing Crescent Moon's telepathic message, because they had indeed discovered a place that resembled a treasure vault, albeit underground.

"What did your contracted beast discover?" Wu De also came closer, wanting to know what news Ji Daoyi had heard.

"It's my brother, my partner, so speak to it with respect!"

"Alright, alright, I understand. It's your brother. Tell me quickly, what did it discover?" Wu De readily agreed, his only goal being to find out whether the news Crescent Moon had brought back was about the Lotus Sect's treasure vault.

"As you wish! Crescent Moon's underlings have discovered a deep pit with an underground passage. We're just not sure if it's the treasure vault we're looking for."

Ji Daoyi truthfully shared the news that Yueya had brought him with Wu De, without any intention of hiding it.

Regardless of whether it is a treasure trove or not, even if it is, he will still keep his promise and split the profits 50/50 with Wu De.

As long as Wu De doesn't stab him in the back, he won't be the first to break the contract; this is his bottom line and principle.

"That's for sure. I didn't expect we actually found it. What I didn't expect was that this treasure vault was underground. The Lotus Sect is really cunning."

Upon hearing this news, Wu De immediately became excited and, without hesitation, concluded that this was the location of the treasure vault.

"Since you believe that's where the treasure vault is, then let's go there!"

Having received confirmation from Wu De, Ji Daoyi no longer had any doubts and directly had Yueya lead the way.

Led by Crescent Moon, Ji Daoyi and Wu De finally arrived at the edge of a deep pit.

The pit was nearly ten meters deep, and it appeared to have collapsed for some reason, revealing an underground tunnel.

The two men and the wolf stood beside the deep pit. Ji Daoyi asked Crescent Moon, "Crescent Moon, are you sure this is the place?"

Crescent Moon transmitted its voice: "The information I received is from this place."

"Fatty, Crescent Moon said its underlings sent back a message that this is the place. Shall we go down now?" Ji Daoyi said to Wu De, his meaning clear: I don't know if this is the place, but whether or not to jump down is up to you.

"Wait a minute, let me double-check."

Wu De immediately took out a disc-like object from his storage bag. It was engraved with symbols that Ji Daoyi did not recognize. As he held the disc, he kept chanting incantations. Suddenly, the disc lit up and the symbols on it began to fly around.

Then Ji Daoyi looked at the symbols on the disc that formed a text. Although he didn't recognize it, he was sure that these symbols represented some meaning, and the fat Taoist in front of him definitely knew that meaning.

After the disc calmed down, Ji Daoyi asked, "How is it? Has it been confirmed?"

Wu De's face lit up with joy. He excitedly put away the disc and said, "That's right, it's right below! The treasure-hunting disc just responded!"

"Treasure Hunting Disc, what kind of treasure is that? Can I borrow it to play with?" Ji Daoyi asked curiously. Wu De's performance just now had really opened his eyes. By inputting Yuan energy into a disc, he could confirm that there were indeed treasures at the bottom of the pit. With such a treasure in hand, how could he not be rich?

Seeing that Ji Daoyi wanted to take advantage of his treasure-hunting disk, Wu De clutched his storage bag embroidered with a large red flower and said, "Let me tell you, if you want to take advantage of my treasure-hunting disk, this is a treasure passed down to me by my father. It's one of a kind in the world!"

"Tch, it's just a treasure hunt, I have people to rely on."

Ji Daoyi rolled his eyes at him, then said with some reluctance, "If you lend me that treasure-hunting plate to play with, I'll lend you a copy of the scriptures I got in the Scripture Pavilion. How about that? Am I being generous? Unlike you, who likes to get something for nothing."

Wu De was somewhat tempted upon hearing this. Although this scripture was only a part of the whole, it was still a scripture, and all of them were written by powerful beings at the Great Power level or above.

"I need to think about this carefully. What if you don't return it to me? Besides, this was passed down to me by my father, and there's only one in the world."

"Isn't this scripture one of a kind? Even if you wanted money, you might not be able to borrow it. Besides, a treasure hunt can be exchanged for a scripture. Isn't that a good deal?"

"That's true, but wait a minute! Didn't you just say you wanted to borrow the Treasure Hunting Disc to play with? Why are you suddenly saying you want to switch? Well, I knew you were after my Treasure Hunting Disc. You even asked me to copy it, knowing full well that the Jade Mirror requires spiritual power to read, and I don't have any spiritual power right now, so I can't copy the scriptures at all."

Wu De angrily accused Ji Daoyi, but Ji Daoyi didn't say much. The scripture sounded very high-end, and compared to the fact that it could help his treasure-hunting disk right now, and that he had to exchange it for a copy of the scripture, it was like getting a treasure for free.

"I didn't say I'd give it to you now. You can come back to me to copy it after you break through to the Divine Realm. Besides, you're already at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, breaking through to the Divine Realm is only a matter of time. Don't you have any confidence in yourself?"

Wu De agreed, saying, "What you said makes sense. Even if Father knew that I exchanged a treasure-hunting plate for a scripture, I doubt he would scold me."
