Opening the jade case, a disgusting scent erupted . Long Chen and Guo Ran both jumped in fright, thinking that it was poison . They hastily shut their pores and shot back .
Only then did they get a good look at what was inside . It was a fist-sized egg . But there were countless speckles on it, and the disgusting scent was coming from them .
“Is this a housepet’s egg?” guessed Guo Ran .
“Most likely . It’s just that it’s been too long . ” Long Chen was speechless . That was unlucky . “Throw this egg away . But the case should be a treasure . ”
“Alright . ” Guo Ran really didn’t want to touch this thing . But since Long Chen said so, he went over and threw out the egg .
“Fuck, you pig!” Long Chen suddenly fled upon seeing Guo Ran toss the egg beneath his feet .
The egg immediately grew in size upon leaving the case . It grew to several meters long, and it exploded upon striking the ground . A fecal-green liquid erupted like a bomb .
Guo Ran was immediately splashed by it . A nauseating scent crashed over him . Despite sealing his pores, he still felt like he was about to vomit . This egg had existed for no one knew how long . That kind of scent wasn’t something just anyone could handle .
It was fortunate that Long Chen had fled fast enough, or he would also have been splashed . Seeing Guo Ran just foolishly standing there, he cursed, “Hurry up and start washing yourself!”
Only then did Guo Ran react . He took out a bucket of water and began to crazily scrub . Even once he was clean, that disgusting stench didn’t let up .
“Boss, you couldn’t warn me?” Guo Ran switched his robes, but that stench was still present .
“Are you a pig? Would a housepet’s egg be just the size of a chicken egg? That case has huge runes on it . Are you blind? Even if you are, can’t you sense the spatial fluctuations? Tch, I almost got pulled in because of you, and you still want to grumble at me?” said Long Chen without the slightest mercy .

Without several days, there was no way that scent would disappear . Now even Long Chen was affected .
Traveling in the world while closing all the pores and sense of smell was essentially cutting one’s spiritual perception in half . Doing it for a while might be acceptable, but doing it for too long was just courting death .
“Heavens, it really is a treasure! I have a huge use for these runes!” Guo Ran suddenly saw the runes on the case, and his eyes lit up . He had definitely thought of another forging mechanism .
“Tch, put it away . Let’s go . ” Long Chen brought Guo Ran away . Long Chen found quite a few deep holes in this area .
But those holes were from a long time ago . It seemed quite a few experts had searched this island before, which disappointed him . Perhaps there weren’t many chances of obtaining any treasures here .
“There’s a jade case here . ” Long Chen paused, sensing a jade case .
Without wasting a moment, Guo Ran began digging . As Guo Ran dug, Long Chen looked around and couldn’t help but grumble .
According to reason, since this place was a trial region, it should have been like a cage that trapped the insects inside . The insects should have been like the Hidden Ground Gold Spider, unable to escape .
But now, not only were there no Bonethorn Bloodmoths, but the entire island was wrecked . The trial caves had been excavated, and all people could do was dig for treasure here .
Had that battle back then destroyed the formations of this island? But Long Chen still kept feeling like something was a bit off .
“Hehe, boss, here you go . ” Guo Ran smiled mischievously and handed the jade case to Long Chen .
“Tch, do you think we’d be so unlucky as to obtain another stinky egg?” Long Chen rolled his eyes .

But although his tone was disdainful, he kept the case far away and used his Spiritual Strength to open it .
When the case was opened, there wasn’t the slightest disgusting stench . Instead, it was the scent of a perfume permeating the atmosphere . There was a pearl inside .
The pearl was the size of a baby’s fist . Its entire body was like jade . Spiritual qi revolved around it as it shone beautifully . A dense scent of perfume came out of it, one that was extremely relaxing to smell .
“Boss, give it to me! I can use it to mask some of the scent coming from me!” Guo Ran was delighted . This was just what he needed .
“You can’t . This is a seventh rank Nine-Color Elk’s Neidan . It’s incredibly precious to female cultivators . The essence inside it can allow a person to maintain a youthful appearance forever . If you were to waste such a natural treasure, then Tang Wan-er would definitely cut you into pieces if she learned of it . Furthermore, I’d also be implicated by you,” laughed Long Chen .
“Really, this thing is so amazing? It has the same effect as the legendary Everlasting Appearance Fruit?” asked Guo Ran .
“When it comes to effect, it definitely can’t compare . That Everlasting Appearance Fruit can be directly consumed . But I’ll have to first extract the essence within this Neidan and make it into a pill . You know how much women like their beauty . So many of them are willing to even sacrifice their longevity and even their cultivation base . My guess is that if the sect master didn’t care about her looks, she might have already long since stepped into the King realm,” said Long Chen .
“Then why don’t you refine a few Everlasting Face Pills and give me some? Hehe, you know, I… Hehe, you understand,” said Guo Ran . With that wretched expression on his face, it seemed there really would be no one who wouldn’t understand what he intended .
“Don’t worry, the essence within this Neidan is enough for me to refine several furnaces of pills . I’ll only need one furnace of pills for my beauties . If you have the ability, you can take all the rest . I want to see just how many beautiful girls you can seduce,” laughed Long Chen .
“Hehe, I won’t use those Everlasting Appearance Pills to seduce them . Seducing women must be done through charisma and strength! I’m just preparing for the future . If there comes a beautiful woman who admires me, and we’re just lacking a little bit of fire between us, who could resist once I send her an Everlasting Appearance Pill?” laughed Guo Ran mischievously .
“Guo Ran, have you ever thought of what kind of woman you want?” asked Long Chen suddenly .
“How should I put it? My requirements aren’t high . As long as they don’t loathe me, it’s fine,” said Guo Ran .

“Ah, this requirement of yours is actually quite high,” said Long Chen .
“Fuck, boss, you’re evil! Why must you always mock me like this? It’s unendurable!” Guo Ran had an urge to cry, but no tears came out .
“Hehe, don’t be like this . Your brother is just joking with you . Furthermore, aren’t you also quite handsome? Why must you set your requirements so low?” comforted Long Chen .
“The main thing is that my eyes are too small . Women don’t like men with small eyes . ” Guo Ran hung his head dejectedly .
“Who said that? Small eyes have their own benefits,” said Long Chen supportively .
“Really? What benefits?”
“People with small eyes, no matter how they die, won’t die with their eyes open . ”
“ . . . ”
“Alright, let’s stop talking and just keep moving . ”
In truth, Long Chen was also very excited to obtain the Nine-Color Elk’s Neidan . He always felt like he greatly owed his beauties . Now he finally had a chance to send each of them a gift . They would definitely be incredibly delighted to gain the ability to retain their youth forever .
Continuing forward, Long Chen kept his Spiritual Strength spread out while Guo Ran was in charge of digging . They quickly found seven more cases .
Three of them contained weapons that had reached the middle grade Enchanted level . But they were made through exquisite craftsmanship which made them much stronger than average weapons at that level .
They also obtained a secret tome that contained a water element magical art . It was directly stored in a spatial ring since it was essentially useless to them .
They also dug up another stinky egg . But with their experience last time, they handled it much better than before .
There were also two pills that were even more trash . Although medicinal pills were precious, after all this time, those pills had lost their medicinal energy and were no more than shriveled lumps of garbage .
As they got deeper, Long Chen saw many powerful people . Some were from the Righteous path, some from the Corrupt path, and there were also many experts from the ancient races . They were in groups, sometimes with more than ten people . They held strange tools as they searched for something .
Long Chen saw that those had to be tools to find treasure, which was why the previous people they had killed had been digging right over a jade case . After all, there weren’t many people who had Spiritual Strength as powerful as Long Chen and could explore hundreds of meters underground . And even if someone could, they would only be able to last for a few breaths before running out of Spiritual Strength .
Long Chen saw that these people came from every direction of the island, and they were all powerful figures .
They were all in groups . Long Chen’s group of two was actually the weakest . Those groups were all carefully searching while on guard against enemy attacks .
The groups maintained a certain distance from each other . But Long Chen saw that quite a few people had begun to place their sights on him and Guo Ran .
Some of the ancient race groups had several rank two Celestials amongst them . It had to be known that the ancient races possessed bloodlines that made them unrivaled in the same realm .
Long Chen ignored them for now as he continued searching with his divine sense . He quickly found another two cases .
Just as Long Chen and Guo Ran pulled up the second one, a group of people surrounded them .
“Hand over all the treasures you’ve obtained and we’ll spare your lives . ”
