Chapter 1329 - The world of cultivation’s future real estate tycoon
Chapter 1329 The world of cultivation’s future real estate tycoon
“It’s done.” Senior White’s clone grabbed the pendant, and the ‘Resurrection Formula’ on its circle flashed from time to time.
When the [Fiery Rebirth] was completed, Song Shuhang felt that there was a kind of connection between himself and this magical treasure. In addition, he could feel that it was of a higher level than the ‘life talisman’ that he had used before.
The ‘life talisman’ he had before would have become useless after he reached the Fifth Stage Realm. However, this ‘Fiery Rebirth’ would continue working at least until one reached the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm.
“Now, for the final step.” Senior White’s clone stuffed the ‘Fiery Rebirth’ into a metal bottle, and threw it at the giant turtle of disaster.
The giant turtle of disaster had been waiting for this moment. It stretched its neck forward, opened its mouth, and dexterously swallowed the magical treasure into its belly.
It had successfully recovered Skylark’s eye, and thus its mission was complete.
The giant turtle slowly got up, and all the runes on its shell lit up.
“He’s going to leave the small black room,” Su Clan’s Sixteen said. “Senior White, should we follow it?”
Senior White’s clone said, “Mm-hm, hold onto Meteor Sword tight.”
Soft Feather said, “We’re leaving right now? Don’t we still have to dig for treasures?” She looked at the material flowing out of the breach in the barrier. Senior White had said that there were valuable treasures flowing out of it, so she was quite unwilling to leave right away.
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “It’s more important to leave first. If we miss this chance, we might really be trapped in here for 10,000 years.”
Song Shuhang clutched his left eye, and agreed, “It’s unfortunate that we didn’t get to dig out any treasure… However, although treasures are precious, the value of freedom is much higher.”
“Boom!”
The giant turtle swelled up in size and slammed against the space forcefully.
Afterward, its body became transparent, and it began to break away from the world of the ‘small black room’.
No spatial channel had appeared!
This giant turtle… Could it be the creation of some Wielder of the Will? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Senior White’s clone said, “Eh? No spatial cracks appeared! Could it be that this giant turtle has the authority to shuttle through these small black rooms?”
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked, “Then, can we even follow it?”
Senior White’s clone said, “We don’t have the ‘authority’ to leave the ‘small black room’ like the giant turtle does. Unless… we enter its stomach.”
The giant turtle turned its head to glance at Song Shuhang and the others.
This time, there was a very human-like expression on its face—a cheeky smile.
It felt really unnatural to have a tortoise with a lifelike cheeky smile on its face looking at you.
Song Shuhang said, “I feel it is making fun of us.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “I have this feeling too.”
The giant turtle was indeed making fun of them.
Soft Feather said, “It should be feeling proud of itself, right?”
“Fellow Daoist Turtle, before you disappear, I have two things to tell you.” At this time, Senior White’s clone raised a finger, and said to the giant turtle, “First, you have yet to compensate me for breaking my immortal boat.”
The corner of the giant turtle’s mouth rose, allowing it to show a triumphant smile. Obviously, it had no intention of compensating him.
Senior White’s clone raised another finger, and said, “Second, I would like to remind you that if a stranger feeds you something, you should never eat it until you’re sure that it’s safe.”
The giant turtle’s smile froze.
It felt that something was wrong in its stomach.
In the next moment, its mouth opened, and black smoke came out of it, while a painful look emerged on its face.
Song Shuhang asked, “Senior White, did the ‘Fiery Rebirth’ magical treasure that you fed it explode?”
Senior White’s clone said, “The magical treasure is fine. I forged the resurrection magical treasure seriously. The problem is the ‘metal bottle’ that contained the magical treasure. Heh.”
It destroyed his beloved immortal boat, yet it wanted to leave just like that? Foolish turtle!
The giant turtle struggled in pain as the ‘metal bottle’ started to break it apart from within.
It rolled around in the air.
At the same time… its figure was getting more and more transparent.
“Wuuu~” The giant turtle stared fiercely at Senior White’s clone, and suddenly bit at everyone.
Senior White had already long prepared for this. And so, his Meteor Sword turned into sword light, and brought them away from its mouth.
The giant turtle failed to land the final blow, and disappeared unwillingly.
Song Shuhang asked, “Senior White, what exactly is that ‘metal bottle’ of yours? Can it kill the giant turtle?”
Senior White explained, “The metal bottle is divided into two layers. The inner layer will protect the magical treasure, while the outer layer is made of a liquid metal ore that I once dug for in the ‘Star Realm’. As for what kind of metal that liquid metal ore is, I have no idea. I’ve tried to use it to make magical treasures, but it would fail every time. It simply can’t be fused with any other materials… Later, I found out that if it were put on a ‘metal product’, it would form a protective layer on top of it. I once wanted to use it on the immortal boat to allow the boat to have a protective shell, but unfortunately, I didn’t have enough of that ‘liquid metal ore’.”
Puzzled, Soft Feather asked, “Why did the liquid metal ore hurt the giant turtle after it swallowed it?”
“That’s because the liquid metal ore has another characteristic… As long as you pour energy into it, it will activate and actively corrode all nonmetals, and this corrosive property can last a long time. As long as that turtle’s body isn’t entirely made of ‘metal’, it will be corroded by the liquid metal ore. Don’t look at that as just a small bottle of liquid metal. If it were to start corroding something with all of its strength, a nonmetallic hill could be turned into flat ground in 10 breaths of time,” Senior White’s clone continued. “In addition, I silently placed my ‘Sage Seal’ on the inner layer of the metal bottle. When we get out of this small black room, I can use it to find this giant turtle.”
When Song Shuhang heard this, he fell into thought—when he heard about the ‘liquid metal ore’, he immediately remembered the liquid metal ball of the Netherworld. However, what Senior White had dug was only an ore, so it shouldn’t have anything to do with that big shot of the Netherworld, right?
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “Senior White, since using that giant turtle as a means to leave this place isn’t going to work anymore, how are we going to get out of this place?”
“The breach it made in the barrier!” Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up, and he said, “The space was bitten away, which left a breach. After all the contents inside have flowed out, we can enter the breach and take a look. Maybe we’ll be able to find a way to leave the small black room that way.”
If the Inner World wasn’t blocked in the ‘breach’, then he could also use the Inner World as a springboard to enter the world of the black lotus, then enter the Netherworld Realm, and ultimately return to the main world!
Soft Feather said, “So, is it time for us to dig for some treasure?”
❄️❄️❄️
Meteor Sword turned into sword light, and returned to the breach in the spatial barrier with a few flashes.
Various substances were still flowing out of the breach.
In the beginning, only asteroids, poisonous water, and other debris had been flowing out, but now there were large patches of golden sand flowing out as well.
The dazzling gold particles flowed out of it like a waterfall.
Song Shuhang said, “Gold?”
Senior White said, “Mm-hm. It’s indeed gold, but that doesn’t really have much value, so it’s useless.”
Song Shuhang thought for a while before saying, “Can I take a little with me?”
Senior White asked, “What for?”
Song Shuhang replied, “My Inner World is too monotonous. With its expansion, large tracts of wasteland have appeared. If possible, I want to get some of this sand to decorate it. If I were to construct some buildings inside the Inner World in the future, sand could also be used to decorate it.”
“That makes sense. Alright, I’ll take some for you.” Senior White took out a cosmos bag and stretched out his hand.
A stream of golden sand was sucked from all over and entered the cosmos bag.
This cosmos bag has a lot of space. Song Shuhang watched the stream of sand continuously pour into it, but it had yet to be filled even after over 10 minutes had passed.
“Senior Song, if you build some houses in your Inner World in the future, are you going to sell them?” Soft Feather asked suddenly.
Song Shuhang was taken aback; he had never thought about this.
Soft Feather seriously said, “If you do plan on selling them, remember to reserve one for me.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen looked at him, and said, “I want one too.”
Senior White’s clone thought for a while, and felt that this was quite interesting. “Haha, Shuhang, if you really do plan on selling some in the future, save one for me as well. Mm… If you want, you can even just sell me a piece of land, I can build the house myself.”
Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.
Several pictures flashed through his mind.
[Down payment of 100,000 SS. High-quality houses! All units are 50 to 150 square meters in area, with lake view rooms. VIP line: 010——XXXXXX]

After that, he pictured himself dangling his cigar while appearing on the cover of the Daily Cultivator.
Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, a real estate tycoon of the world of cultivation. He began his business by selling real estate in the Inner World, and is now worth over 100,000,000 SS.
In the future, if he really did end up being so poor that he couldn’t even afford to eat, he might just consider taking the path of a ‘real estate tycoon’.
🤦♂️
No, I can’t do that. I feel so ashamed just thinking about it.
“Alright. A cosmos bag full of golden sand, here.” Senior White handed the bag to Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang said, “Thank you, Senior White.”
Soon after Senior White stored the ‘golden sand’, the golden waterfall exiting the breach came to a stop.
In the next moment, a large number of huge metal blocks were ejected from it.
“Treasure?” Soft Feather’s eyes lit up.
She saw powerful runes inscribed on these seemingly precious large pieces of metal.
Senior White said, “This should be a fragment of a giant war device… If it’s this broken, it isn’t worth much.”
Song Shuhang asked, “Can you recycle the materials used for the magical treasure?”
Senior White nodded, and said, “Yes, but these materials are relatively common and cheap. We have limited space in our spatial magical treasures, so it would be a waste to store this trash.”
“Trash?” Soft Feather reached out to catch a fragment that had bounced off her.
She tapped on the material of the fragment.
Soft Feather asked, “Senior White, is this ghost emperor iron? It’s a Seventh Stage forging material.”
Ghost emperor iron was an important material for forging Seventh Stage magical treasures. She remembered that her father had used this material to create some items.
Senior White said, “Mm-hm, that is indeed ghost emperor iron. However, since it’s already been mixed with some other materials, it’s quite troublesome to separate it. Just throw it away, it’s trash.”
Soft Feather nodded and threw the fragment away.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Su Clan’s Sixteen: “…”
It might have just been their misconception, but for a moment, Senior White and Soft Feather unexpectedly had a matching air.
The debris did not spew out of the breach for that long.
When it stopped spewing out, Senior White’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He reached out and made a grabbing motion. After that, a pillar-sized fragment was drawn over.
The pillar was made of stone and covered in a layer of beast skin.
“This is snakeskin… It’s the skin of a Tribulation Transcender snake fairy.” Senior White waved the pillar and peeled the snakeskin off of it.
“Shuhang, it just so happens that you can use this for your Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure. This should be large enough for you to forge two sets,” Senior White said, and threw the snakeskin to Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang hurriedly caught the snakeskin, and said, “Senior White, wouldn’t using the skin of a Ninth Stage snake fairy be too much? I think that it would be enough to use an Eighth Stage snakeskin, using a Ninth Stage one would simply be too wasteful.”
Senior White said, “This piece of snakeskin is only at the Profound Sage level now. Since it was left in the small black room for too long a time, its level has dropped. It’s just what you need to forge your stuff, so take it.”
After that, Senior White looked at the wooden pillar that had been wrapped inside the snakeskin.
Senior White smiled, and said, “Sure enough, I was right. The real treasure is this thing—dragon god wood. If Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Flood Dragon were to see this, he would definitely rush over and lick it.”
Dragon god wood could purify and enhance the blood of dragon-type monster cultivators. They would only need to hold and lick it every day and wear it on their body to increase the purity of their dragon bloodline in the long term.
After thinking for a while, Senior White used his hand as a knife and cut the dragon god wood, dividing it into three parts.
“Everyone will get a share. As Shuhang already got the snakeskin, the rest will be equally divided between the three of us.” Senior White handed a share to Su Clan’s Sixteen and Soft Feather.
“Thank you, Senior White.” Su Clan’s Sixteen and Soft Feather did not refuse.
When going out to hunt for treasures with Senior White, everyone always got a share of the treasure.
However, once one put away the treasure, they had to be mentally prepared.
Crisis always went hand in hand with fortune.
This was a well-known truth in the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’.
After Sixteen and Soft Feather put away the dragon god wood, the two of them mustered their strength and took care to ready their defenses.
The breach in the barrier in front of them was especially likely to have some hidden dangers. There was a very high chance that something dangerous would come out from there.
Song Shuhang kept the snakeskin, and took a deep breath.
He was lucky to have been able to acquire something that had once been a Ninth Stage material.
However, after making a fortune, a crisis would follow.
Having gone through similar thoughts as Sixteen and Soft Feather, Song Shuhang also stared at the ‘breach’.
If a crisis was coming, it was most likely to come from the breach!
As long as one is careful, they should be able to avoid the crisis, Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Suddenly, he felt his waist tighten.
He lowered his head and found that a long tongue had wrapped around his waist.
The tongue pulled and dragged Song Shuhang off Meteor Sword.
It was the giant turtle of disaster. It had returned!
