Land of Lawlessness.
Green Lotus Palace.
The air suddenly fell silent.
Luo Xiu stared at the contents of the fourth Purple Gold Box, his expression utterly strange.
No wonder Hua Muyan was so mortified.
The item inside the box did indeed look a little... well…
It was a long, rod-shaped tal object. At first glance, it bore a striking resemblance to a certain male appendage. It was the very thing that had made Hua Muyan cry out in tornt on countless nights.
"Hahaha…" Master Ping suddenly threw his head back and laughed heartily, absolutely delighted.
Luo Xiu looked at Master Ping. "What is this?"
"This is a goddamn piece of Mysterious Yellow Iron!" Master Ping exclaid. "If you fuse it with Five Elents Sand and forge it with your Indestructible Divine Fla, you can create a Mysterious Yellow Instrunt!"
Not understanding, Luo Xiu asked, "What is a Mysterious Yellow Instrunt?"
Master Ping asked, "You still rember the Great Qian of Tai'a, don't you?"
"Of course." Luo Xiu would never forget that broken sword, the Great Qian of Tai'a. Unfortunately, it had been stolen by Watari Kagura.
Master Ping said, "The Great Qian of Tai'a itself was crafted by an Ancient God using Mysterious Yellow Iron."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu's gaze trembled. He couldn't help but recall the power of the Great Qian of Tai'a, and he was suddenly filled with anticipation.
All this ti, aside from Dream and Asura, which he'd left on Earth, he hadn't had a suitable sword.
But now, with this piece of Mysterious Yellow Iron, he could forge a new sword—a divine artifact on the sa level as the Great Qian of Tai'a!
Master Ping said, "Put it away for now. This thing is of the sa divine grade as the Mysterious Yellow Earth. Don't reveal it casually in front of others."
A short while later, Luo Xiu opened the fifth Purple Gold Box.
As the purple light faded, Luo Xiu was stunned once again.
Inside the fifth Purple Gold Box was a skull!
The skull was as clear as crystal and shimred brightly; it was clearly a Crystal Skull.
Luo Xiu picked up the Crystal Skull to inspect it carefully and imdiately felt a dense aura of the Dao flowing from it. Just looking at the skull was like gazing into the endless starry sky.
It took Master Ping a mont to snap out of his stupor. "I rember a mysterious star realm in the Celestial Realm inhabited by a wondrous race—the Crystal Race."
"Crystal Race Cultivators primarily train their Physical Bodies. If they can refine their skeleton into Crystal Bone, they beco invincible."
"I think this must be the skull of so Great Emperor from the Crystal Race."
Lao Ba asked, "But what the hell is this skull good for?"
Master Ping replied, "It has an aura of the Dao, so you might be able to comprehend sothing from it. In any case, anything that cos from a Purple Gold Box is bound to be extraordinary."
Luo Xiu nodded. "Let's put it away for now. It might be useful later."
Next, Luo Xiu opened the sixth Purple Gold Box. To his surprise, it also contained Crystal Bone, but not a skull. Instead, it held the complete bones of a left arm.
"Master Ping, what the hell…" Luo Xiu was completely baffled.
Master Ping's eyelids drooped. "Keep opening. You might just assemble a full skeleton."
Luo Xiu then opened the seventh Purple Gold Box. As expected, it also contained Crystal Bone: the complete bones of a right arm.
Then he opened the eighth Purple Gold Box and found still more Crystal Bone: the complete bones of a torso.
"Well, what do you know!" Lao Ba cackled. "It looks like Master Ping's words were prophetic. We really are on track to piece together a whole skeleton."
Black Fatty added, "The skull, the left arm bones, the right arm bones, and the torso bones... All we're missing now are the left and right leg bones. If I'm not mistaken, the last two boxes will contain the left and right legs."
Lao Ba chuckled. "Don't get your hopes up, Black Puppy. Even if more bones pop out, they won't be for you to chew on."
Ignoring Lao Ba, Black Fatty urged, "Hurry, Crown Prince! If we assemble the complete skeleton, we might get an unexpected reward."
Luo Xiu then opened the ninth Purple Gold Box. To his surprise, the contents were not Crystal Bone but a pile of nearly transparent fabric. He reached out and picked it up. It was as light as a feather and felt cool and silky to the touch.
"What the... Isn't this won's hosiery?" Luo Xiu's expression was strange. "You can get stuff like this from these boxes?"
As he spoke, he spread the item out and saw that it was a one-piece bodystocking. It was like a layer of skin that had been peeled from a person, so thin it was almost transparent.
Luo Xiu decisively handed it to Hua Muyan. "Here, you take it. It's even one of those flesh-toned, ultra-thin types."
Hua Muyan's pretty face flushed, and she didn't reach for it. "Yan'er doesn't want to wear sothing so mortifying! Master, you should keep it and have Luo Ying wear it for you."
"Holy crap!" Just then, Master Ping suddenly cried out in shock.
Luo Xiu whipped his head around to look at him. "What is it?"
Master Ping said excitedly, "Kid, this is a Divine Object! If I'm not mistaken, this must be the Mystic Ribbon Treasure Garnt. You can't feel it at all when you wear it, but it possesses incomparable defensive power!"
Luo Xiu asked, "Exactly how strong is its defense?"
Master Ping replied, "It defends against basically everything."
Luo Xiu looked at Hua Muyan. "Yan'er, go inside and try it on."
"Master, are you really giving this to ?"
Luo Xiu pursed his lips. "It's obviously made for won."
***
A mont later, Hua Muyan returned to Luo Xiu's side.
She was dressed just as before. She wore the Mystic Ribbon Treasure Garnt against her skin with her usual clothes over it, making it completely invisible.
"So, are you wearing it or not?"
"I am." Hua Muyan lifted the hem of her dress and twirled in front of Luo Xiu with a sweet smile. "This Mystic Ribbon Treasure Garnt feels so comfortable! It's warm and cozy, like it's already fused with my skin."
Luo Xiu reached out and touched her arm. It felt incredibly smooth and soft. He then pinched what he thought was a bit of her skin and gently pulled, lifting a thin, transparent film.
Master Ping said confidently, "Go on, kid. Try stabbing her with a sword."
But Luo Xiu couldn't bring himself to do it.
At that mont, Black Fatty brandished his sharp claws. "Watch out, little Flower Demon!"
Black Fatty swiped a claw at Hua Muyan. The color drained from her face as she instinctively raised a hand to block.
Yet, when the sharp wolf claw collided with her seemingly delicate, jade-like hand, it was the claw that was repelled.
Hua Muyan stared at her unscathed hand, her eyes wide with astonishnt.
"Damn, that's so serious defense!" Lao Ba exclaid in awe. "A strike like that from Black Fatty would have injured even an Emperor Realm Expert! The Mystic Ribbon Treasure Garnt actually withstood it and even completely absorbed its power!"
Black Fatty shook his paw, unconvinced. "Again, little Flower Demon!"
Brimming with confidence, Hua Muyan stood her ground, letting Black Fatty attack as he pleased.
A few monts later, Hua Muyan was still standing there completely unhard, while Black Fatty sat on the ground, wincing and rubbing his paws.
"This thing… it's truly a Divine Object!"
Still unconvinced, Black Fatty suddenly lunged forward and bit down on Hua Muyan's arm.
"Why are you biting ?"
Black Fatty asked, "Does it hurt, little Flower Demon?"
Hua Muyan gently shook her head.
Suddenly, Black Fatty howled in pain, scrambling onto his hind legs and clutching his snout with his paws. "But my teeth hurt!"
Hua Muyan giggled. "Serves you right."
On the sidelines, Master Ping stood with his arms crossed, looking at Luo Xiu. "So, what do you think, kid? Does this thing live up to being called a Divine Object? Even a Youming Ghost Wolf can't put a scratch on it."
Luo Xiu was speechless. "Yan'er, how about you take it off and give it to ?"
Hearing this, Hua Muyan quickly scurried to one side. "No! This is mine now! You gave it to , so no take-backs!"
Luo Xiu just smiled and shook his head. How dare she try to snatch my treasure. I'll deal with her properly tonight. I'll make you take it off and then teach you a lesson... On second thought, maybe I'll punish you while you're still wearing it. It is crotchless, after all.
Scheming to himself, Luo Xiu turned his attention to the final Purple Gold Box.
"I wonder what treasure this last box will hold?"
