Chapter 387: Golden Toad Gate

Pu Yanlan took out another long sword, which held out for a little while under the fourth thunderbolt. When Pu Yanlan took out a small umbrella, the fifth thunderbolt came. Then the sixth thunderbolt shattered a pair of Ruyi hooks. After the seventh thunderbolt broke a piece of brocade handkerchief, finally... there was no movement in the dark clouds!
At this time, Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan had been struck by lightning and were kneeling on the ground, with most of their bodies buried in the yellow sand. A jade hairpin was spinning above their heads. The two waited for a long time but the eighth thunder did not come. Instead, they saw the black clouds above their heads slowly dissipating.
"Is this... finished?"

Gu Shiyi, who was covered in dust, looked at Pu Yanlan, who was also covered in dust. Pu Yanlan looked around and found that the wind had stopped and the yellow sand in the sky was gradually dissipating.

"It seems to have stopped!"

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground at the same time. Pu Yanlan did not dare to take back the jade hairpin and let it spin above her head. After a while, the two of them came to their senses. Gu Shiyi asked Pu Yanlan,

"This is... what kind of evil thing have we done to deserve the thunder and lightning from the heavens to strike me?"

I didn’t do anything!

Gu Shiyi thought about it carefully.
"I didn't kill anyone, set fire to anyone, rob anyone, or do anything else... Yeah, I did do something, but it wasn't me who did it, it was others who did it to me. If I'm going to be struck by lightning, I should go to the Wolf King in the Hermitage Mountain!"

Pu Yanlan thought about it, reached out and took out a jade bottle, and poured out the elixir that looked like ginseng fruit.

"Thorn..."

As soon as the pill appeared, there was another flash of lightning above their heads, which scared the two of them. They hugged their heads together, and then found that there was only a flash in the black cloud, and no lightning struck. They breathed a sigh of relief. Pu Yanlan quickly put the pill away, spit out the sand in her mouth, and then said to Gu Shiyi,
"Eleven, I get it... Maybe I refined this elixir a little too well!"

"What?"

Gu Shiyi blinked.

"The elixir is against the will of heaven?"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"My master once told me that any divine elixir that is perfected will be envied by the heavens. These seven heavenly thunders should be striking this elixir..."

Gu Shi opened his mouth.

"It struck seven times with lightning. Yan'er...what on earth did you refine?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a moment and replied,

"I didn't expect this to happen. It seems... I'm afraid this medicine has other effects, but we just don't know about it!"

"have to!"

Gu Shiyi patted his butt and stood up, then pulled Pu Yanlan up again.

"It's fortunate that the Baekje clan is wealthy enough to afford what we did. If it were someone else, they would have been chopped into charcoal long ago, right?"

Pu Yanlan stood up with her, thought for a moment and smiled bitterly.

"Others may not have the opportunity to obtain divine blood and real dragon blood, and refine elixirs!"

Even if she could refine the elixir, it must be done by a high-level cultivator. Who could be like her and refine this kind of elixir with unknown uses in the late stage of foundation building, which was envied by God?

The two saw the black clouds dissipate, and guessed that the sky had calmed down, so they dared to fly eastward. They didn't know that not long after they left, another group of monks came to the desert, and someone was holding a golden toad in his hand. At this time, the golden toad was facing the place where Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan were kneeling in front of them, croaking non-stop.

"The golden toad is calling. There really is a rare treasure emerging here!"

The monks were surprised.

"The headmaster said that our sacred beast has not quacked for many years. Today, this golden toad suddenly jumped out of the pond and kept quacking towards the east. This must be a treasure that has appeared. If we keep looking for it, we may find it!"

If they find it, they will have done a great job!

Several people followed the monk holding the golden toad and walked around the area. They found that the toad's head was always facing east.
"To the east, it seems the rare treasure has been taken away!"

The monk with the toad on his hand squinted his eyes and looked to the east. There, in the yellow sandy sky, a flash of light was disappearing.
"Looks like someone got there first, let's chase them!"

This is our Jinchanmen’s territory. Who dares to be so bold as to steal treasures on our Jinchanmen’s territory? He really wants to die!
Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan flew eastward for about a thousand miles before they saw the terrain gradually turning into a desert. Then some scattered plants appeared on the ground. After flying another five hundred miles, they saw a city standing in the desert.
"arrive!"

Finally, they found the city before dark. They first looked around the city and saw a road leading to the distance. There was a camel caravan slowly walking towards the city. There were many merchants in the caravan wearing long robes and white scarves wrapped around their heads. There were also travelers carrying bags and walking barefoot following the caravan. After some discussion, the two brought the old horse and the fox out. Gu Shiyi, who had a big beard on his face, led the horse. On the horse sat the young woman dressed as Pu Yanlan, still holding the red fox in her arms. The two mixed in the crowd and entered the city. The buildings in the city next to the Gobi Desert are all built with stones. Things sold on the streets are naan, horse milk and the like. People passing by are all wearing long robes, and many of them are barefoot. The calluses on the soles of their feet are an inch thick. Gu Shiyi took off her shoes out of curiosity and tried them on. Even though she had a strong body and would not get hurt, she could not bear to accidentally step on the camel's flesh. She also saw many men lifting their robes to urinate at the street corners, which made her frown and she immediately put on her shoes!

The city is not big. There is a street from the south to the north of the city, and another street from the west to the east. At the cross-shaped intersection in the center of the city is a huge square with a well in the middle of the square. The well mouth is ten feet in radius. All camel caravans entering the city get water here to feed the camels.

Gu Shiyi led the horse and pretended to go over and fetched a bucket of water for the old horse to drink. However, the old horse took a sip and kicked the water over. Seeing Gu Shiyi glaring at it, it leaned its horse face over and whispered,
"Salty!"

What a joke! It's a divine horse with true spiritual blood, how can it drink such a thing!
Gu Shiyi still glared at it.

"If you don't want to drink, then don't drink. Why are you kicking?"

After that, he slapped it on the butt. The old horse cried out in pain, but it didn't have the courage to get angry with Gu Shiyi. It just came to Pu Yanlan with grievance and sought comfort in her arms. Pu Yanlan smiled and said,

"We are in the desert, it's good to have saliva!"

The two of them pulled Lao Ma out of the square and found an inn. After settling down, they took out the map in the room and looked at it carefully. Gu Shiyi looked at it for a long time and was a little scratching his head.
"This place is too remote. There are only a few big cities marked on the map. Our small town has no mark on it. It seems that we need to ask the shopkeeper for information!"

That night, they had a dinner of naan and mutton soup. The red fox took two bites of the naan that was so dry that it could break a person's head and bleed, then immediately gave up and concentrated on eating the mutton.
"Oh... The secret realm is nice, but there's nothing to eat..."

A monster like it that has become a spirit can actually go without food in a place with abundant spiritual energy, but the desire for food is a gift from God. If it doesn't eat, wouldn't it be a waste of its life in this world?
The mutton here is tender and melts in your mouth, without any smell of mutton. It is simply boiled in water, torn into pieces by hand and dipped in salt, and it is very delicious!
Gu Shiyi ate a whole leg of lamb, and half of the lamb chop went to Pu Yanlan. Both of them were very satisfied with the meal. After eating, Gu Shiyi went downstairs to return the soup bowl to the shopkeeper, and asked about the nearby cities. The bearded shopkeeper pointed to the east and said,

"Go east, there is a big city... It's called Moon City..."

Having said this, he paused and advised,
"However, my dear guest, Moon City has been very unstable recently, so you'd better not go there..."

"Oh...what happened?"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows and asked, and the bearded shopkeeper said,

"The Lord of Moon City was assassinated and died in his bed with his head missing. Now his sons are fighting for the position of Lord of Moon City. The fight is fierce!"

"Oh, I see!"

After Gu Shiyi thanked the shopkeeper, he returned to the room and talked to Pu Yanlan. Pu Yanlan said,

"The fight for the city lord's position is a matter for ordinary people. We are just passing by and we won't get involved..."

Gu Shi said,
"I mean so too!"

So they decided to go to Moon City. That night, a group of monks came to the city. The shopkeeper was woken up in the middle of the night. He looked at the monks in front of him with sleepy eyes. He recognized the golden toad with its mouth wide open embroidered on the corner of the monk's robe, and hurriedly saluted and said,

"So it's the masters from the Golden Toad Sect. What do you want me to do?"

The monk asked,

"How many people are staying at the hotel today? Bring me your list of guests!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly went to fetch them. After the monk looked through them one by one, he could not see anything, so he asked,
"Do you see anyone suspicious?"

The shopkeeper was confused and shook his head after thinking for a while.
"No……"

The monk asked again,

"Are there any monks staying at the inn?"

"no!"

Another monk at the side said,

"As the saying goes, great people hide in the world. If someone has a rare treasure, they will most likely not stay in this small town, but go to Moon City or a large city nearby. There are many cultivators there. As long as they hide well, it is more difficult to be discovered than in this small town!"

The sacred beast in their sect has the ability to find treasures, but after entering the city, the aura became chaotic, and the golden toad often made croaking noises, making it difficult for them to distinguish. The monks could only look for outsiders in various inns in the city. Although this small city is small, it is also an important transportation route. There are countless caravans coming in and out every day, and even the caravans must be carrying a lot of gold, silver and treasures. Although their Golden Toad Sect is powerful, they can't stop the caravans and the people passing by and search them one by one every time they hear the golden toad calling!
