Ao Xue, to avoid being taken back to the Dragon Clan, pulled the Golden-Winged Great Peng swiftly away from that place. Little did she know, this action had already caused a tremendous misunderstanding for the Dragon Clan.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng, being pulled by Ao Xue, was intoxicated by the faint fragrance wafting from her, and never imagined he would become the Dragon Clan's most wanted fugitive.
They returned all the way and soon encountered Xu Fang.
At this moment, Xu Fang was walking slowly as if strolling in a leisurely manner, looking as relaxed as could be.
Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng couldn't help but greet Xu Fang.
"Senior, out for a stroll?"
"Oh, yes. Is there a problem?"
"A problem? A big one! I was just fighting for my life there, and you were strolling here, not worried about my safety at all. You've truly chilled the hearts of your brothers!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng immediately complained. While he could easily handle that group of demons, Senior's composure was a bit too much!
Hearing this, Xu Fang also felt a surge of anger. It was merely a demon led by a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he had given this fellow a chance to prove himself, yet the scoundrel was ungrateful?
Thus, Xu Fang was no longer polite and immediately let out a cold snort.
"Hmph! Aren't your hands hot when held together?"
"Ah!"
Ao Xue suddenly realized her hand was still holding the Golden-Winged Great Peng's. She quickly let go and vigorously shook her hand, showing clear disgust.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng, seeing this, didn't know what to say.
Xu Fang looked at the Golden-Winged Great Peng and saw he was holding a Fang Tian Ji in his other hand. He smiled slightly.
"Got the treasure?"
"Yes, this thing is called a painted-shaft Fang Tian Ji. It's very handy to use, and I like it very much!"
Speaking of the treasure, the Golden-Winged Great Peng immediately put aside his displeasure, caressed the treasure, and showed it off to Xu Fang.
"This thing weighs seven thousand two hundred catties. It can crush that Taiyi Golden Immortal demon in one go. It truly is a divine weapon!"
"My Golden Cudgel weighs thirteen thousand five hundred catties. Have I shown off?"
Xu Fang shook his head. This Golden-Winged Great Peng judged the power of a treasure by its weight, which was exactly like Sun Wukong.
"Senior, I feel this item seems to have a great connection with my Dragon Clan as well."
Ao Xue, having recovered, interjected.
"Oh? What makes you say that?"
Xu Fang was stunned. He suddenly remembered something. When Sun Wukong went to the Dragon Palace to "borrow" treasures, the Dragon King had indeed brought out a painted-shaft Fang Tian Ji.
However, Sun Wukong, like the Golden-Winged Great Peng, also judged the power of a treasure by its weight and did not want this painted-shaft Fang Tian Ji, opting instead for the heavier Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
No wonder this painted-shaft Fang Tian Ji had attracted the Dragon Clan this time. It seemed not only were they closer, but this treasure also had a connection with the Dragon Clan.
However, all this realization came later and didn't matter. In any case, this treasure was destined to belong to the Golden-Winged Great Peng. By helping him, there would be no intermediaries from the Dragon Clan.
Still, Xu Fang had a question.
"I took the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, and Da Peng has taken the painted-shaft Fang Tian Ji. What can Sun Wukong borrow from the Dragon Clan in the future?"
This was a big question, but it was something Sun Wukong should worry about. Xu Fang thought for a while, found no answer, and pushed it aside.
After all, Sun Wukong was probably just a stone now, with no consciousness. He and Da Peng's actions shouldn't be considered snatching treasures, right?
"By the way, Senior, I plan to refine this treasure first."
The more the Golden-Winged Great Peng looked at his treasure, the more he liked it, and he quickly said.
"Don't rush, don't rush."
Xu Fang waved his hand and said.
"Look at my Luobao Jinqian. Was I rushing to refine it? You still have another opportunity, located within the East Sea. Let's go find it."
As Xu Fang spoke, he looked at the treasure map beside him.
While the Golden-Winged Great Peng was performing his so-called heroic rescue, Xu Fang had not been idle. He had also searched for information about the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle.
Since he had a weapon, a treasure was also indispensable. This time, he would find both a weapon and a treasure for the Golden-Winged Great Peng in one go, saving him from constant nagging.
Coincidentally, the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle was in the East Sea, not far from him. It was on the way.
The interface before him was displaying information about the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle.
【Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle】
【Grade: Acquired Spiritual Treasure.】
【Ownership: None yet.】
【Current Location: East Sea. System map is continuously navigating for the host.】
【Description: The Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle is a treasure of yin and yang qi, containing the Seven Treasures and Eight Trigrams, and twenty-four qi. This treasure can trap living beings within it. If a living being enters and remains silent, the inside of the bottle is extremely cool, nothing more. Once it speaks, it will attract yang qi, and a great fire will ignite. Within three quarters of an hour, the living being inside the bottle will be turned into a paste.】
Unlike the painted-shaft Fang Tian Ji in the Golden-Winged Great Peng's hand, Xu Fang had a very deep impression of the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle.
In the Tribulation of Journey to the West, the Golden-Winged Great Peng used this treasure to trap Sun Wukong, burning his Achilles' heel, or rather, his ankle bone.
Fortunately, Sun Wukong used the three life-saving hairs given by Guanyin, which transformed into a diamond drill, bamboo strip, and cotton rope, drilling a hole in the bottle, and thus escaping death.
Otherwise, it would not have been as simple as burning his bones soft.
This feat alone was enough to show the power of this treasure. Xu Fang naturally didn't mind helping the Golden-Winged Great Peng further and acquiring this item for him as soon as possible.
Upon hearing Xu Fang's words, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Senior! Your great kindness, I, Golden-Winged Great Peng, will never forget!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng repeatedly clasped his hands to thank Xu Fang, his heart filled with joy.
Indeed, coming out to wander the world with Senior was the most correct choice he had ever made!
"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. Follow me!"
Xu Fang casually closed the treasure information interface and flew out. The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue quickly followed.
They traveled out to sea without incident. However, as Ao Xue approached the East Sea, she became uneasy, fearing that Xu Fang might take her back to the East Sea Dragon Palace along the way.
Fortunately, Xu Fang was solely focused on treasure hunting and didn't consider these matters.
Soon, Xu Fang led the two of them to land on a small island. Seeing no other living beings present, Xu Fang confirmed their location and led them directly into a mountain cave.
Skillfully breaking through the great formation, a radiant light flashed out, and a treasure slowly emerged.
"Haha! I have another treasure!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng was overjoyed and immediately moved to claim the treasure.
Just then, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen.
"Stop! Put down the treasure!"
A voice suddenly rang out, and an attack flew rapidly towards the Golden-Winged Great Peng, extremely fierce!
