Chapter 799 Where There Is Water, There Is a Chance of Living

With a bang, the ornamental column as tall as ten meters crashes.

The moment the ornamental column is broken, Gao Ge and Earth Dragon are both aware of the surrounding energy fluctuation.

“So is it over?” Earth Dragon looks at Gao Ge and asks.

Gao Ge doesn’t answer him. Earth Dragon can’t help sighing. Asking Gao Ge the question seems to be the same as asking himself.

“Let’s go and find Wen Yihuan and the bearded man now.” According to Earth Dragon, Gao Ge learns that the three of them have encountered swarms of corpse bugs before and can’t help feeling shocked. If anything went wrong with them, he would probably be faced with three skeletons even if he had dealt with the Wangtianhou and destroyed the ornamental column. Maybe at that time, he couldn’t even recognize them at all.

Although they have got through the crisis, when he comes to think of it, he still has a lingering fear.

Even Gao Ge feels this way, let alone Earth Dragon, the bearded man and Wen Yihuan.

When they find Wen Yihuan and the bearded man, Wen Yihuan is still picking the Taoist lotus and the bearded man is staring at the antiques and the gold in the chamber like a tomb raider. Then, Gao Ge can only walk forward and slap him in the back of his head, which kind of wakes him up.

“Mr. Gao, Lord Earth Dragon, you are back!”

“We have been back for quite a while,” Gao Ge complains, “Just because you were too obsessed with the fortune, you didn’t see us.”

The bearded man grins and says, “You’ve started to establish your own sect. This is quite huge. You will need to spend a lot of money. And the fortune here happens to satisfy your needs, right?”

Gao Ge wears a half-smile, “So you are thinking for my interest?”

The bearded man clenches his fists and thumps his chest harshly as if hitting the wall, “Mr. Gao, there is absolutely no doubt about my loyalty to you!”

Gao Ge laughs and doesn’t talk about it with him anymore. He only runs his star map and takes in all the things in the chamber except the Taoist lotus picked by Wen Yihuan.

“Gao Ge, this is mine. You can’t take it away from me!” Wen Yihuan holds the Taoist lotus and stares at Gao Ge, shouting.

Gao Ge pulls a wry look, “Do I look like a robber?”

Wen Yihuan hastens to nod.

Gao Ge just brushes him off.

On the contrary, Earth Dragon goes to ask him a few questions.

Wen Yihuan briefly explains the existence and growing environment of the Taoist lotus. After hearing Wen Yihuan’s words, Gao Ge feels a bit surprised and asks, “So, is the Taoist lotus really good stuff?”

Wen Yihuan is astonished instantly and subconsciously takes a few steps back.

Gao Ge coughs and says with a serious expression, “Since it is found here, it should be handed in to the Dragon Court. Wen Yihuan, are you fine with it?”

Wen Yihuan says with a sad face, “What about you? Do you have to hand in those things...”

Before Master Wen finishes talking, he is interrupted by Earth Dragon.

“It’s okay. I can decide on behalf of the Dragon Court. Gao Ge can keep those things but as to the Taoist lotus, you must hand it in!”

Seeing Wen Yihuan looks as if crying, Gao Ge bursts out laughing.

“Fine. We were kidding. Just keep it. Even if the Dragon Court wants to take it away, I won’t agree. After all, you are my man now. I must ask for some benefits for you anyway. And it is also a good thing for me that you become stronger.”

Hearing Gao Ge say that, Wen Yihuan is finally relieved.

“When we are back, I will refine the Taoist lotus. By then, there must be a boom in my capability!” Wen Yihuan says in delight, “Besides, this thing should be able to prolong my life by a decade or two...” Speaking of that, he suddenly stops and feels like slapping himself. He thinks that he has talked too much. How can he tell such a big secret? Hence, he subconsciously looks at Gao Ge and Earth Dragon. Gladly, the two of them don’t look surprised.

“Enough. Look at you. It is a decade or two only,” Earth Dragon says and then suddenly thinks of Dragon King, “Are you serious?”

“Yes, but it is not useful for you unless you also have a Taoist heart and pursue Taoism by metaphysical magic. Otherwise, the Taoist lotus is not as valuable as a spiritual jade for you,” Wen Yihuan says with a serious face.

After making sure that Wen Yihuan doesn’t lie, Earth Dragon only heaves a sigh and feels pitiful.

Gao Ge pats Wen Yihuan’s shoulder, signals to him to put the Taoist lotus away and then tells him about the Wangtianhou he ran into before.

“Yeah. I haven’t thought of it before. It seems that those warlocks were really capable. They could steal a wisp of the soul of the mythical creature. Luckily, you have defeated it.” At the thought of it, Wen Yihuan also feels a bit frightened and expectant. If only he could go back to a few hundred years ago and see how those people stole the soul of the mythical creature! It was a skilled task.

He takes out the compass again and stares at the needle of the compass for quite a while before nodding his head.

“The ornamental column has been destroyed and the formation here has also been ruined. Supposedly, we won’t encounter any danger,” Wen Yihuan says.

After saying that, he also feels a bit guilty to see the suspicious face of Gao Ge.

“I think supposedly, maybe, perhaps, there won’t be any danger...”

“You’ve said similar words before,” the bearded man says in a low voice aside.

Wen Yihuan casts a fierce glance at him and he hastens to shut up.

“This newbie has no respect for his senior at all!” Wen Yihuan thinks.

“Enough. No more talking nonsense. Currently, we should try our best to find the position through which we can enter the Ghost Sect,” Gao Ge coughs and says.

This is the goal of their coming here. They mustn’t forget their goal after seeing the gold, silver and jewelry.

“Rest assured,” Wen Yihuan says with a smile, “When you were not here, I did the deduction. As the result shows, we will find it soon.”

“Really?” Earth Dragon is shocked, “Are you sure about it?”

Wen Yihuan is disgruntled, “You are obviously insulting me. As long you follow me, I will find it for sure.”

After saying that, he strides forward. Probably because the ornamental column in the tomb has been ruined by Gao Ge, after walking forward for a distance, they still don’t encounter any obstacles. However, the bearded man can’t help shivering and then mumbles, “Why do I feel colder and colder as we go forward?”

“Is that so?” Gao Ge coughs. Putting aside the bearded man, they have had the Hot Bead when they were in the secret realm of snow terrain so they won’t feel cold in winter or hot in summer. If the bearded man didn’t mention the cold, they wouldn’t notice it at all.

Wen Yihuan explains, “It is the Kan position of the tomb ahead, i.e., the Water position. Therefore, it is a bit cold. However, because it is the Water position, they would surely choose this place if they wanted to have a retreat. In any case, this place will be a way out. Where there is water, there is a chance of living!”

After hearing Wen Yihuan out, even Gao Ge, Earth Dragon and the bearded man, who have a smattering of knowledge of metaphysics, also feel as if taking a tumble.
