Chapter 98
“But I have to remind you, everything in this world comes with a price . I can give you the box . But are you sure you want it? If you are, press the box in the second to last painting . If not, you can give up . After all, my gift is a little special, not everyone can handle it . So think about it on your own . If you don’t make a choice I’ll assume you’ve given up and everything will return to place . There will also be no possibility of this painting opening up again . What about that? Think about it long and hard . ”
“Oh, and about the gain and loss thing . Of course you’ll be gaining my box . As for the price, I’ll play the suspense card and just say you’ll find out when you get the box . And finally… did I get you with the painting or not? Hahahaha… I thought a long time to come up with this idea, even asked a brother to help me make the painting . Hahaha… you must be cursing me right about now . Well, it doesn’t matter anyways if you go home with the box . Plus, I can’t hear you anyways . Hahaha…”
Hearing the final whooping laugh, both Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong were exasperated . This elder really loved to play pranks . Given the “sense of humor” of this cultivator, Xu Ziyan was worried he left some kind of surprise in that box too .
“Brother, do you want the box?”
“Yep . ” Xu Ziyan nodded . The cultivator’s words were correct . Not just everyone could be able to handle the contents of that box . But now he had the right conditions, if he didn’t take the box he would regret it forever .
In terms of gain and loss, he didn’t have too much concern about it . That’s the thing about opportunity . Having two birds in the forest wasn’t worth much compared to one bird in his hand . As long as he could figure out the “gain”, he could figure out the rest of the situation too .
Reaching out, he pressed the box in the painting next to him .
The cultivator in the final painting raised a hand slowly with a thumbs up . Then he pointed below him . In the direction he was pointing there was a thud as a green brick popped out of the corner of the wall .
Bending over, Xu Ziyan pulled the green brick away, revealing a dark opening . He reached inside and grabbed a box about the size of his palm .
Looking at the little black box, he smiled . In his previous life he’d never experienced something like this . Seems like even if he didn’t follow the path laid out for him he still had decent luck .

“Congratulations on obtaining the inheritance,” Xu Zirong said with a grin .
“Haha, let’s celebrate together . ” Xu Ziyan couldn’t help but laugh with the box in his hands . Who would think that just looking at a wall painting was enough for him to get this inheritance that was perfect for him?
“Aren’t you going to open it up?”
“Why not? There’s no one here anyways . ” Laughing, he opened the box .
And that’s when it happened . A shadowy figure shot out of the wooden box . Xu Ziyan only had to gesture for a small thunder streak to shoot out after it .

Boom!
The shadow fell on the floor .
When the two brothers looked down to see what it was, both of them were immediately exasperated . Lying on the floor was a lovingly carved wooden mouse . There was an additional lid inside of the box with a spring trap . The moment someone opened the box the mouse would jump out, scaring anyone who opened the box .
Due to the thunder Xu Ziyan had released, the mouse had been burnt black and was good for nothing more than trash .

“Haha, did you like that? Relax, this is the final surprise!” A man’s voice suddenly rang from the box .
Xu Ziyan didn’t know what to say anymore to this humorous cultivator…
Whatever . They’d taken his inheritance, after all . It wasn’t anything to get up in arms about .
Comforting himself like this, he opened up the second lid on the box . When he saw what was inside, he couldn’t disguise his excitement . He had been right after all . What was in the box was a Green Spiritual Thunder . It was tied to the bottom of the box with a red string . How odd was that, the cultivator had been able to find such a string to contain the thunder .
After inspecting for a while, he tucked it away .
A single streak of purple lightning was incredibly valuable . Thinking about how such a large sect as their own only had one Green Spiritual Thunder made this evident .
