Chapter 28: The Divine Turtle's Seven Treasures

  Gongsun You let out a gentle smile as he stroked his chin, "Not bad, that little turtle who just saved your life is none other than the renowned Nine Treasures Mystic Turtle of the Soul Beast Realm, an inviolable existence!"

  He Lian Nu was taken aback, the Nine Treasure Mystic Turtle? Could it be that the small turtle, which was usually pitch-black, was actually more noble than the Heavenly Wolf? If that were truly the case, then how could the small turtle have been caught by a wolf of lower status than itself and brought back?

  He Lianuo expressed his doubts to Gong Sun, who smiled and said: "I don't know what kind of luck you have, first becoming friends with the sacred beast Tianlang, and now getting help from Jiu Bao Xuan Gui at a critical moment. If the people in the Soul Realm knew about your experiences, they would definitely be envious! You ask why Jiu Bao Xuan Gui has no attack power but is highly respected in the Soul Beast world? It's because of its two extremely special properties: Assistance and Healing!"

  "This treatment I know, just now I was saved by this turtle, what's the matter with that assistant? And what is the name of this turtle, Nine Treasures, which nine treasures?" Helian No broke the pot and asked to the end, expressing his own doubts.

  "Nine Treasures Mystic Turtle, named Nine Treasures, in reality people only know of its seven effects, as for the remaining two no one can understand. Legend has it that every time the Nine Treasures Mystic Turtle masters a skill, the light on its body will increase by one color. For thousands of years on this continent, the top-level Mystic Turtles people have seen only have seven-colored lights, which means, strictly speaking, this turtle Little Wolf caught should be called Seven Treasures Mystic Turtle. Only when it learns the remaining two divine skills will it qualify to be called Nine Treasures!"

  He heard that the little turtle, who had just seen seven treasures, was so against the sky. He couldn't help but think that one day, when the little turtle learned all nine treasures, he would be even more powerful. Thinking in his heart, he asked Gong Sun to tell him what the seven treasures he already knew were.

  "As far as I know, there is only one Xuanwu in each generation. The one you just saw is the only Xuanwu in this world! This Xuanwu does not reproduce through giving birth to offspring, but rather through a mysterious method of continuation. In short, once the previous generation's Xuanwu passes away, the next generation's Xuanwu will automatically be born, repeating this cycle. However, the Xuanwu has an extremely long lifespan, so over thousands and millions of years, there probably haven't been many generations. As soon as a Xuanwu is born, it automatically acquires its first treasure: immortality! The immortality mentioned here doesn't mean that the Xuanwu will never die, but rather that no external force can kill the Xuanwu unless it dies of natural causes; otherwise, there is no way to prematurely destroy it!"

  He Lian was shocked, oh my, there are actually such magical creatures in this world that can reproduce without reproduction, and this turtle is really strong and almost invincible!

  He rolled his eyes at the rarely seen and often heard Helianno, and Gong Sun continued: "This second treasure is extremely comfortable for the black turtle to survive in any environment. According to people who have seen it, the black turtle can not only swim but also fly. Its sharp claws can penetrate sandstone and live in underground places without air. It can be said that there is no place in this world where the black turtle cannot go, and there is no place where the black turtle cannot survive!"

  Goodness, isn't this a versatile all-terrain vehicle! He Lian Nu couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. After all, such an omnipotent and powerful tortoise was now in her hands!

  "This third treasure is memory! As mentioned earlier, the Xuan Turtle reproduces through a mysterious method, and during this process, the previous generation of Xuan Turtles will pass on all their memories to the next generation. You know that the Xuan Turtle has an extremely long lifespan and can go anywhere, so the secrets and experiences accumulated over millions of years have reached an astonishing level. Even I, Gong Sun, who considers myself a master of knowledge, feel inferior when compared to the Xuan Turtle!"

  He Lianuo didn't fall into a daze this time, but instead asked in confusion: "Even if the Black Turtle has extensive knowledge, it can't speak after all. What use is it to me?"

  Gongsun Jian glared at Helian Nuo fiercely, saying angrily: "What's the use of you? You should know that this tortoise is extremely spiritual. As long as you get along with it well, it will naturally have a way to make you auspicious and avoid disasters, and you won't take many risks!"

  He Lian'er nodded, indeed, the existence of Gong Sunjian had saved her from taking many detours, let alone Xuan Gui who was countless times stronger than Gong Sunjian.

  Gongsun Jian continued, "This fourth treasure is the Lingjue! The Nine Treasures Xuangu has a very spiritual connection, and often can predict hidden dangers and disasters in advance. I don't need to remind you of this, do I? From now on, when you go out, bring the little turtle with you. If it doesn't feel right, hurry up and escape. Do as I say, and who knows how many lives you'll be able to save?"

  Khalounuo nodded repeatedly in agreement.

  "This fifth treasure is indeed a real 'treasure'! I suppose you'll be very interested in this, that is, treasure hunting!" Gong Sunjian said with a slight pause, and sure enough, he saw He Lianuo staring at him with shining eyes. With a pleased smile, he continued: "This Xuanwu has a natural instinct to seek out treasures and reside near them. It can be said that wherever there is a Xuanwu, there must be treasure! This treasure may be a divine weapon or precious medicine, all of which are rare treasures that ordinary people can hardly see in their lifetime. Young master, wait for your big fortune!"

  He Lianuo nodded, and indeed, the little wolf found that Xuan Gui was near that mysterious Yu Huang tree. It's really not a treasure land to live in! He Lianuo thought to himself, but didn't say it out loud.

  "He Lian continued: 'This sixth treasure is an auxiliary item. Legend has it that if the little turtle comes into contact with a cultivator's skin, their cultivation speed will increase by dozens of times! The Black Turtle is therefore jokingly referred to as the Soul Cultivation Accelerator in the Spirit Realm, and it's a treasured item that every soul practitioner dreams of obtaining. In the future, when you travel the world, be careful not to show the Black Turtle to outsiders casually. Remember, an innocent man is not guilty, but one who possesses treasure will be sinning!'"

  Khalen nodded heavily, and he still understood the principle of not leaking wealth outside.

  "This seventh treasure is the reason why the Black Tortoise is regarded as a god by all the soul beasts! That is, healing! It is said that the Black Tortoise can bring the dead back to life and cure the wounded. No matter what kind of injury or illness, as long as the Black Tortoise intervenes, it will definitely be cured. The strong among the soul beasts are existences that have lived for thousands of years, and they often fight each other, so how could there not be deaths and injuries? These old guys who have lived for thousands of years are more afraid of death than anyone else, while the existence of the Black Tortoise provides a glimmer of hope for those soul beasts who are beyond medical help. Although it's not certain whether they can invite the Black Tortoise to treat them, once the Black Tortoise agrees to heal them, they will no longer have to worry about their lives. Think about it, which soul beast would dare offend an existence that can give itself a last hope? Moreover, countless soul beasts fawn over the Black Tortoise, and any soul beast that dares to show even a hint of disrespect towards the Black Tortoise is immediately attacked by the group. Over time, the Black Tortoise has become an existence that no one dares to provoke!"

  He Lianuo was stunned by the words, just like those doctors in his previous life's hospitals. Although they were one by one arrogant and uncooperative, patients still had to be humble and obedient, no choice, these people held their lives in their hands!

  Gongsun Jian finally finished telling the seven treasures of Xuantu, and concluded by saying to Helian Nuo: "I must remind you that the value of Xuantu is even greater than that of Tianlang. With it, you will have a warning system for danger, a free doctor with superior medical skills, and a great increase in cultivation speed! So, no matter what means you use, you must get along well with Xuantu, at least to the extent that you get along with Xiaolang!"

  He Lianuo didn't agree this time, but instead curled her lips. Value? Can Xiao Lang be measured by value? He's a friend, a brother who grew up playing together since childhood! As for Xiao Gui, she wouldn't just treat it as a gold mine to reap benefits either. He Lianuo clearly understood that showing affection with ulterior motives would only bring about hypocritical emotions!

  Gongsun Jian looked at He Lian's expression and knew that he hadn't taken his words to heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. He let out a sigh and said: "Don't rush into practicing the Bone Refining Technique just yet, first take some time to truly appreciate the subtleties of this change in your tendons and bones. The Seven-Colored Divine Light of the Black Turtle has also brought me considerable benefits, I need some time to digest it!"

  "You're not going to go into seclusion again, are you?" Upon hearing this, He Lianuo felt a bit reluctant to part with him. Although Gong Sunjian had many ulterior motives, at present he was wholeheartedly thinking of helping himself become stronger. He Lianuo could see that when he was sober, the concern in Gong Sunjian's eyes wasn't just for show, so unknowingly, he also felt a bit grateful towards this old monk.

  Gongsun Jian was taken aback, and slowly said: "It won't, last time it was to repair the soul before closing up, this time it's the benefit of absorbing divine light, no need to close up", for some reason, his tone became softer, after finishing this sentence, he didn't wait for Helian Nuo to say anything else, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

  He Lianuo was delighted to hear that Gong Sun didn't need to close the door, but soon felt a pang of loss. He suddenly remembered that Xiao Lang was still angry with him and had no idea where he had run off to. With a faint sigh, he felt his physical strength had almost recovered, so he stood up and walked out of the Heavenly Wolf Cave.

  At this moment, the sky was already slightly bright, and the gentle morning breeze carried a hint of coolness, instantly driving away Helian's drowsiness. Unexpectedly, he found that his cultivation had lasted for an entire night. Helian was taken aback for a moment, and seeing no sign of Xiao Lang inside or outside the cave, he could only go to the open space outside the Tianlang Cave to search.

  Arriving at the empty land, he found Helian Shang lying in the rocking chair he had made for him, feigning sleep with his eyes closed. Helian Nuo was afraid of disturbing him and thought to quietly walk past, but behind him came Helian Shang's icy voice: "Are you looking for Xiao Lang? At dawn today, I saw it running out with a large wooden cup in its mouth!"

  Kerlinuo was overjoyed upon hearing the words, knowing that Xiao Lang must have gone to the Jade Phoenix Tree. Just as he was about to leave, Kerlinuo added another sentence: "In the future, when cultivating, remember to be mindful of your strength and proceed with caution, do not be greedy for quick success!"

  He Lian felt a warmth in his heart, and it turned out that yesterday when he was practicing, Xiao Shu had been guarding him from the side, probably afraid that something would happen to him. He immediately turned around and bowed deeply to Xiao Shu, then took big strides towards the direction of the Jade Phoenix Tree.
