Chapter 28 Unscrupulous Taoist Priest
Chai Xin and Ye Fan sped all the way, and as the sun set in the west, according to the map, they were less than a hundred miles away from Jinxia Cave Heaven.

At this time, many pedestrians can be seen, and there are more towns along the way, no longer as deserted as before.

"Fuck, why is it him!"

When passing by a small town, Ye Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Chai Xin was shocked. Could it be that the Jiang family really sent people to chase after them again?
I quickly looked in the direction he was looking, and immediately saw a figure walking towards them with a unhappy expression on his face.

This man was wearing a Taoist robe and a purple gold crown on his head, but he did not look like a monk at all. He had a big belly and a ruddy face.

"It's true that people meet everywhere in life. God has a good eye and let me meet you here! Tell me, where is the green copper?"

The fat Taoist looked unhappy and quite excited.

"I went in and out of the Demon Emperor's Tomb three times, almost losing my life, but in the end, I didn't even get a hair of green copper! You kid screwed me over..."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his saliva was about to splash onto Ye Fan's face.

"Master Duan, why do you say that? It was you who stole my three spiritual weapons, but how come I am the one who cheated you?"

There was no way Ye Fan would hand over the green copper, so he immediately objected loudly.

"Besides, I did throw it into the deep pool. If you can't find it, what does it have to do with me? I haven't asked you for the three spiritual weapons yet!"

After hearing this, Chai Xin, who was familiar with the original novel, would be very stupid if he still couldn't guess the identity of the fat Taoist priest in front of him.

Obviously, this person is the famous unscrupulous Taoist priest Duan De.

Unexpectedly, when I brought Ye Fan back to Jinxia Cave Heaven, he would reunite with Taoist Wuliang ahead of time.

"Compared to the green copper block, those three psychic weapons are nothing! Be quiet, kid. Where did you put the green copper block? Is it on you?"

As Duan De spoke, he reached out and grabbed Ye Fan's arm, probing his wheel sea.

"Your grandfather, it's you who stole my things, yet you're trying to turn the tables on me. Is that fair?"

Ye Fan struggled desperately, but even with his strong physical strength, he was unable to move under Duan De's hands.

Duan De carefully examined for a long time but could not find any trace of green copper. A look of frustration appeared on his fat face.

"Come with me to the Demon Emperor's tomb again and tell me where you threw the green copper!"

As he spoke, he stomped his foot, flew into the air, and rode the divine rainbow towards the sky.

"Ye Fan!"

It all happened so fast that Chai Xin had no time to react.

"Chai Xin, you go back first. Taoist Duan won't kill me..."

Ye Fan's voice came from afar, and Shenhong was completely out of sight.

"This wicked Taoist priest didn't come earlier or later, but only came when the Golden Cloud Cave Heaven was right in front of us! If he had come a little earlier, why would we have to fight the Jiang Family Knights and the old thief Han?"

Chai Xin smiled bitterly, but he was not very worried about Ye Fan's safety.

Although Duan De in the original novel is immoral, he is not a bloodthirsty person. It would be safer for Ye Fan to fall into his hands than to follow him.

At least until the green copper is found, or before it is confirmed that the green copper cannot be found, Duan De will definitely spare no effort to protect Ye Fan's life.

If anyone from the Jiang family attacks Ye Fan again, I'm afraid they will suffer a terrible outcome.

At this point, Chai Xin had no choice but to return to Jinxia Cave alone.

"Brother, you are finally back. Master has been worried to death these days!"

As soon as he returned to the wooden house, Zhang Ziling, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof practicing, noticed it.

"I heard that the Demon Emperor's tomb has appeared in the world, and masters from all sides have gathered in Yandi. It's very chaotic outside! What happened during your trip? Did you find any treasure?"

As he said this, he jumped down from the roof and came in front of Shiba Xin.

"I met Ye Zi..."

Chai Xin did not hide anything and recounted what happened to Ye Fan in a light-hearted manner. "I didn't have time to look for treasure at all, but it wasn't a wasted trip, as I got some spoils."

The things that a cultivator in the Bitter Sea Realm can store are limited. Elder Han’s things were all given to Ye Fan, and the belongings of the Jiang Family Knights are all with him.

Just as the two were about to check the spoils, Li Ying opened the door and walked out of the cabin.

Seeing that Chai Xin was not missing any limbs, the old man was obviously relieved, but his expression quickly changed to a stern one.

"How can you, a traitor, leave the mountain without the master's permission?"

"Master, please forgive me. I know I was wrong and I will never make the same mistake again."

Chai Xin knelt down without hesitation. He knew that at this moment he should not say any nonsense and the right thing to do was to correct his attitude and admit his mistake.

As expected, seeing him admit his mistake so readily, Li Ying was stunned at first, then she did not know whether to laugh or cry, and went forward to help him up.

"Look at how slippery you are. You don't act like a senior brother at all! Get up. I will punish you by not letting you go out again until the Yao Chi messenger arrives. Do you understand?"

"Disciple, obey."

Chai Xin stood up with a smile, and took out a white jade hairpin that was simple in shape but beautiful.

"Master, this is a gift from your disciple!"

This was what he chose in Yandu because he was afraid of being scolded by his master when he returned to the mountain.

"This kid, it's good that he's back, why bring any gifts!"

Although Li Ying was blaming him, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She reached out to take the white jade hairpin, looked at it for a moment before putting it away.

Although it is neither a spiritual object nor a rare treasure, to the elders, the younger generation’s filial piety is more important than anything else.

Seeing this, Zhang Ziling couldn't help but secretly give Chai Xin a thumbs up and asked, "Brother, where is my gift?"

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Having said that, Chai Xin still pulled him into the bamboo forest and began to check the things left behind by the Jiang family knights.

Chai Xin first opened a wooden box about a foot square, which was filled with porcelain bottles and medicinal herbs.

"This is the Purple Cloud Pill. One pill is equivalent to ten bottles of Qionghua Dew. This bottle has ten pills, so there are five bottles in total!"

"This is the Hagi Ying fruit, the main ingredient for refining a precious elixir."

"This is the heart of a thousand-year-old willow. It can be used to set up a spirit gathering formation to speed up cultivation..."

Li Ying stepped forward to examine it carefully, her face already filled with shock.

"This is... the source! Such a big piece, and quite pure!"

Finally, when Chai Xin opened an exquisite jade box the size of a palm, Li Ying couldn't help but exclaim.

It was a crystal clear piece of jade that sparkled with a bright light. It was only the size of a thumb, but it felt very heavy in the hand.

"Is this thing very valuable? How many bottles of Qionghualu is it worth?"

Zhang Ziling didn't know what a source was, so he asked curiously.

Li Ying nodded seriously: "Just this one piece alone, even if there are thousands or tens of thousands of bottles of Qionghua Lu, it cannot be compared with it."

“So valuable!”

Zhang Ziling's eyes widened as he felt that this was beyond his imagination.

"Master, can this thing help you break through to the other side?"

Chai Xin remained calm and suddenly asked.

"If I had obtained this item twenty years ago, there might still be some hope, but now..."

Li Ying sighed and shook her head. She understood his intentions and felt warm in her heart.
