Chapter 137 : Treasure of the Gods (1)
Li Qiye regained his wits and slowly walked towards the frog lying on the dao platform. He didn’t expect that this frog, which had escaped earlier, was now lying here motionless.
“What is that?”
Chen Baojiao looked at the dao platform ahead and was stunned for a moment. Then, she murmured:
“Shh…”
Li Shuangyan softly whispered and gestured for Chen Baojiao to keep quiet. She was also staring at this frog on the dao platform. She knew that Li Qiye yearned for this frog day and night, and he unsuccessfully chased after it for hundreds of thousand miles.
Li Qiye went onto the dao platform but this frog was still not moving. There was a seed the size of a thumb on the back of its neck. It was long and barbed in its blackness and not easy to discover.
“Little Thing, look at you, what treasure did you find?”
At this moment, Li Qiye understood why this frog did not run. The problem was the seed on its head.
Even Li Qiye had to change his expression. He squatted down and stared at the seed. Then, he slowly spoke:
“Unfathomable! So many years have passed but it still managed to survive till now.”
Anyone who knew the origin of this seed would be shocked. The seed of the Evil Typha Tree was a rarity throughout the ages!
That year, the seed of the Evil Typha Tree had matured for tens of million years. It was then that its nemesis, the Six Dao Lotus, took action along with Li Qiye and Immortal Emperor Xue Xi to ambush it at this place.
That battle was incredibly deadly. One had to know that the Evil Typha Tree had grown after a countless number of moons, growing here since the Desolate Era. It was the supreme Evil Lord of this separate world! However, after being ambushed by its nemesis, the Six Dao Lotus, along with the Dark Crow, Li Qiye, and Immortal Emperor Xue Xi, even a powerful being such as itself couldn’t escape death.
When its main body was destroyed, the Evil Typha Tree wanted to send its seed away; however, it was burned by the supreme immortal flame of Immortal Emperor Xue Xi and penetrated by the Six Dao Reincarnation technique from the Six Dao Lotus. It could be said that the seed that escaped into the ground had no hope of survival.
Unexpectedly, after million years passed by, the seed that basically had a death sentence could heal its wound; only, it didn’t have a good opportunity to germinate.
This frog was the nemesis of spirit medicines and immortal plants. After it was full, it rushed into the cave and found this seed. The frog — at first — wanted to consume it, but the seed wasn’t just for show. It rode on the frog’s head instead.
Both had heaven frightening origins, and they were assaulting each other. Eventually, the frog’s neck was clamped by the seed and neither could do anything to the other. The frog was intelligent; it found this place and wanted to borrow the dao platform to kill the seed. Unfortunately for it, Li Qiye also came to this place.
“Little Thing, you are no good.”
Li Qiye crouched down next to it and cheerfully said:
“Such a seed… You won’t be able to escape it. How about we make a deal; you follow me, and I will help you remove it. Otherwise, after a long period of time, it will take root on your head. At that time, your fate will be miserable.”
The frog looked at Li Qiye. After a long time, it let out a cry. Without a doubt, it was agreeing with Li Qiye’s proposal.
“This is how it should be.”
Li Qiye smiled. He took out the lotus ashes and lightly sprayed it on the seed. The seed couldn’t handle it and immediately shrank, rolling up as if it wanted to protect itself.
When the seed fell down from the neck of the frog, it tried to run away. However, with the lotus ashes sprinkled on its body, it was running away with the speed of a tortoise.
“You want to run away? Don’t even think about it.”
Li Qiye caught the seed in a treasure box filled with lotus ashes and buried it inside. Even though the seed was formidable, the lotus ashes were its weakness. Being buried in the ashes, it was up to the mercy of Li Qiye, so it could only contract its thorns and it went to sleep.
Li Qiye obtained the seed of the Evil Typha Tree. Then, he motioned his palm towards the frog and laughed:
“Little Thing, it is time for you to come back home. In this world, only I can tap into your true potential.”
At this point, the frog was quiet. Then, it jumped into the palm of Li Qiye. As it was lying on his palm, it slowly turned into stone. In the end, it transformed into a tiny cauldron with the shape of a frog.
Seeing the frog turning into a tiny cauldron, not only Li Shuangyan, but even Niu Fen was astonished.
“This is not any Mythological Beast, but a Heavenly Cauldron!”
Li Shuangyan exclaimed in amazement. They chased this frog the entire time so the group of Li Shuangyan thought that this ordinary frog was a Mythological Beast or Immortal Spirit. However, they didn’t expect it to be a Heavenly Cauldron.
Li Qiye carefully put away the Heavenly Cauldron and smilingly said:
“I did not say it was an Immortal Spirit or Mythological Beast. Thats right, it is a Heavenly Cauldron!”
A supreme peerless Heavenly Cauldron — of course, he didn’t say this phrase.
The group of Li Shuangyan couldn’t help but glance at each other. Heavenly Cauldrons were indeed rare and hard to obtain, but this was not the style of Li Qiye. No matter how precious a Heavenly Cauldron was, how could it compare to a precious million year old Longevity Spirit? Could it compare to precious Immortal Gold? It definitely couldn’t compare.
However, Li Qiye did not look for the treasure metals and godly ores hidden beneath the Evil Infested Ridge. He even threw down the life ring of a one million year old Longevity Spirit like scrap metal, yet he gave so much value to this Heavenly Cauldron!
This made Li Shuangyan and Niu Fen realize that this frog was certainly not a simple Heavenly Cauldron. However, since Li Qiye didn’t say anything, they didn’t dare to ask.
