“Fellow, please enter the city first. A banquet has been prepared to entertain you.”
Zhou Qing said with a smile.
The ape didn’t hesitate and wasn’t afraid. It immediately led the wooden horse into Setting Sun City.
In the Castellan’s mansion, a sumptuous banquet was already prepared.
Yuxiang Shredded Pork, Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Bear Paw, Three Fresh Blood Congee, Golden Dumplings, and other rare delicacies were already on display.
They were steaming hot.
After the group sat down, they started to taste the delicacies in front of them.
The ape’s eyes lit up. It had never encountered such delicious food before. After eating it, it was conquered by the food. It quickly fought over the food and wolfed them down.
“Delicious! Amazing!”
“I’ve never eaten such delicious food before. Humans are amazing to be able to make such delicious delicacies. What if I can’t eat it again in the future?”
After the ape finished all the delicacies on the table, its face revealed an expression of wanting more, and its eyes were filled with the aftertaste. This was the most delicious food it had ever eaten in its life. Compared to this, what it had eaten before was simply dog food.
It had started to worry about what it would do if it couldn’t have them in the future!
The delicacies are poisonous!
It felt that he had been poisoned by the delicacies, and the degree of poisoning was very high.
After eating, someone quickly collected the cutlery.
The ape burped and said, “Alright, I’ve eaten. I won’t go back on my word. Since I’ve lost, I’ll let you choose a treasure. Since you have given me delicious food, I will also broaden your horizons.”
Bang!
The ape confidently took out a treasure chest and placed it on the table.
This was indeed a treasure chest. It looked like a common treasure chest, but the material was indiscernible. It emitted a bronze treasure light, but it was obvious that this was not ordinary bronze. There were ancient and mysterious patterns interwoven on it, interweaving into various treasure patterns.
These patterns were not static, but constantly changing.
“This is my treasure chest. All my treasures are in this treasure chest. Without my permission, no one can take out any treasure from the chest.”
As the ape spoke, it extended its hand into the treasure chest. There were no gaps in the chest, and it looked like a complete box. It was a bronze lump of iron, and there was no place to reach out. However, when the ape’s hand touched the treasure chest, it seemed to become transparent and directly passed through the chest wall.
When it reached in and took out, a fist-sized gem appeared in the ape’s hand.
It was a diamond, an indestructible diamond. The edges were distinct and glimmered with spiritual light. One could feel a dense metal essence within, which was sharp, hard, and indestructible.
“This is an Instructible Crystal Diamond. It contains the power of a diamond. After refining it with a unique method, it can absorb the energy of the diamond’s origin and give the owner’s body indestructible power. It has a miraculous effect on body refinement.”
Under the probing skill, information about the diamond appeared in Li Xiang’s mind almost instantly. This was a treasure, a divine-grade material. Without a doubt, this was a real treasure. It was a rare top-notch immortal material for body refinement cultivators.
“There’s more!”
After the ape placed the diamond back into the treasure chest, it took out another treasure. It was a pair of boots. The boots were adorned with glittering diamonds, making them shine brightly. Wearing it on the feet was quite eye-catching.
However, it was not a magic treasure in Li Xiang’s eyes, but a common pair of boots inlaid with diamonds and gems. It looked like an art piece. Compared to the first treasure, it was simply heaven and earth. There was no comparison at all.
“Look at these boots, how beautiful! This is my treasure, you are not allowed to choose this one later.”
The ape said lovingly.
“And this.”
The ape took out another item. It was a black hoof.
It was a black donkey hoof.
“This is a thousand-year-old black donkey hoof. It can ward off evil spirits. I got it after I had helped a Human race tribe.”
It seemed that it liked it quite a bit.
The items were taken out from the treasure chest one after another. The expressions of Li Xiang, Zhou Qing, and others began to change. This treasure chest was not a real treasure chest, but a scam. There were priceless divine materials and a worthless black donkey hoof inside.
These were all treasures in the ape’s eyes, but whether they were truly treasures depended on how others understood them.
If the ape gave them a black donkey hoof as a treasure to complete the bet, then it would be a sucker.
“Alright, you’ve seen my treasures. This is only a portion of my treasures. Anyway, all my treasures are in this treasure chest. I don’t want to part with any of them. Therefore, you’ll be the one to reach into the treasure chest and grab one. Whichever you grab will be the one. No one is allowed to go back on their word.”
The ape said reluctantly.
There was a large amount of treasure stored in this treasure chest. No one could see what was inside, except for the ape, its owner.
“Alright, then I’ll grab one of them. I can’t see it anyway, so whatever I grab, it’ll count. I’ll just take it as luck!”
Li Xiang smiled and nodded.
Without any hesitation, he reached out to the treasure chest. When his palm touched the treasure chest, it was as if he had touched a stream of water. His hand easily sank into it, as if his arm could penetrate material objects.
After entering, he immediately felt that the space inside the treasure chest was extremely large. It was not a small space but extremely huge. Something was flying in the box. It should be the ape’s treasure. These things weren’t motionless. They were constantly flying and changing their positions.
After reaching in, many treasures avoided his arm.
Li Xiang didn’t care. He relied on his senses and grabbed the items that flashed past his hand without hesitation.
When the item reached his hand, he retracted his hand.
At this moment, he was holding a crystal-like tree in his hand. There was no life on the tree. It looked like a mysterious and flawless piece of art with mysterious runes flickering on it.
“What treasure is this?”
Zhou Qing and the others widened their eyes and asked curiously.
This small tree was no different from an art piece.
There were all kinds of strange leaves hanging on the tree, but they were all different in shape. They seemed to be all kinds of musical instruments, such as zither, pipa, chime, and so on. They hung lifelike on the tree, embellishing the small tree and making it look even more divine and extraordinary.
One could tell that this was no ordinary treasure.
