The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2569: Treasure House of Ten Thousand Monster Valley

Shou Weng carefully took out an ancient map from his arms. The paper of the map had turned yellow and the corners were slightly curled, obviously it was quite old.

He slowly handed it to Matthew, with a look of solemnity and expectation in his eyes, and said: "The place where the ghost tribe is located is deep in the Guyuan Mountains, surrounded by a fog. Only by following a specific route can you find it. I have a map here to guide you there."

Matthew reached out to take the map, his fingers gently stroking the slightly rough paper surface, feeling the vicissitudes of time.

He slowly unfolded the map and scanned it intently.

The map shows the detailed topography of the Guyuan Mountains, with the outline of the mountains, the location of the peaks, and the direction of the valleys all clearly visible.

The winding route is like a nimble snake, weaving through the mountains and guiding the direction forward.

In addition, there are some symbols and marks on the map.

Matthew looked at it carefully for a long time, memorized the information on the map one by one, and then put the map away carefully.

"Fellow Daoist Shou Weng should be very busy as well, so we won't bother you for now."

Matthew bowed slightly and said politely.

After knowing the location of the ghost tribe, one of the purposes of their trip had been achieved, so there was naturally no need to stay any longer.

Others also stood up and bowed to the old man, expressing their gratitude and respect to him.

However, when everyone was preparing to say goodbye, Shou Weng did not stand up to see them off as usual. Instead, he sat there quietly and looked at Matthew deeply. There was a hint of depth in his eyes, as if he was hiding countless thoughts.

"Does Daoist Shouweng have anything else to say?"

Xing Yan keenly noticed Shou Weng's strangeness, frowned slightly, and asked softly.

The others all looked at Shou Weng in unison, with curiosity and anticipation revealed on their faces, as if they were all waiting for Shou Weng to say next.

"Please sit down for a moment. I want to make a deal with each of you."

Shou Weng raised his hand slightly, motioning everyone to sit down again.

Although everyone was full of questions, they still sat down as instructed.

Matthew stared at Shou Weng, waiting for his next words.

Shou Weng looked around at everyone and said slowly, "Now, the Ancient Source Mountain Range has been watched by many forces. The Ten Thousand Demon Valley in particular is the target of public criticism."

There was a hint of worry and helplessness in his tone.

"Now, while I am still alive, no one dares to cause trouble in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley. But once I pass away, this place will definitely be very dangerous."

Shou Weng's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness. He sighed softly and continued, "The Ten Thousand Demons Valley has always been the place where I put my heart and soul. Not only do I have countless memories here, but there are also many lovely people in my tribe. I can't bear to see it fall into danger after I leave."

Matthew and the others listened to Shou Weng's words, but their faces were all calm.

They all knew very well that no force could exist in the world forever.

Even the demon race is the same.

"I know that all of you fellow Taoists have a lot of things to do. The deal I want to make is that you can come and help out after receiving the call for help from the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley. Of course, I will not ask you to risk your lives to rescue. I only ask that you help the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley resolve a life-and-death crisis within your capabilities."

There was a hint of earnestness in Shou Weng's eyes. He looked at everyone, as if hoping to see a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

"As a reward, I can open the treasure house of the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley and let you choose what's inside. Just take whatever you need. Anyway, the things inside will probably be difficult to preserve after I pass away."

Shou Weng's voice trembled slightly, and he patted his chest gently, as if to cheer himself up.

Matthew frowned slightly. He knew in his heart that Shou Weng was making plans for the future of Wan Yao Valley.

Although he had no interest in the treasure house of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, these treasures might be of great attraction to others.

Moreover, he also understood Shou Weng's painstaking efforts, which were to leave a glimmer of hope for the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

"We will then look for a space node to leave the human world. This time may be long or short, and I cannot guarantee the specific time. Daoist friend, this deal is not bad, but we can only guarantee that if the Ten Thousand Monster Valley encounters danger while we are still in the human world, we will come to rescue. If we leave the human world, there will be no guarantee for the future of the Ten Thousand Monster Valley."

Matthew said slowly, his tone sincere.

After hearing what Matthew said, Shou Weng smiled with understanding. He nodded slightly and said, "Of course, I just want to have peace of mind. I know the difficulties of fellow Taoists very well, and I won't force you to do anything."

For him, he just needed a guarantee from Matthew and the others, and he would never force them to take a vow to protect their inner demons.

After all, it is extremely difficult to find so many Divine Transformation cultivators in the human world today, and he is not familiar with other Divine Transformation cultivators.

At least, I have some understanding of Matthew, so naturally I would choose Matthew.

"In that case, then we agree to it." This time, Matthew also agreed directly on behalf of everyone else.

"Okay, everyone please follow me to the treasury!" Shou Weng was also a decisive person. After Matthew agreed, he immediately stood up and said.

He looked like he was afraid that if he delayed Matthew and the others, they would regret it.

Afterwards, everyone followed Shou Weng into the treasure house of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley.

Matthew had seen many treasure houses, but this was the only one of such a huge scale he had ever seen.

This treasure house is so large that it is over a thousand feet wide and an unknown number of feet deep.

There were rows and rows of tall wooden shelves inside.

There are a lot of things on almost every wooden shelf.

Not only Matthew, but everyone else was stunned at this moment.

However, Matthew changed his mind and felt relieved.

The Ten Thousand Demons Valley has existed in the Ancient Source Mountains for countless tens of thousands of years, and the Ten Thousand Demons Valley still rules the Ancient Source Mountains to this day.

Naturally, most of the good things in the mountains fell into the hands of Wan Yao Valley.

It is normal to have such a large treasure trove.

Seeing everyone looking at the various items in the treasury with curiosity, Shou Weng also smiled and waved his hand generously, saying: "Everyone, take whatever you like. Just take whatever you like."

But then, he became serious and pleaded, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. All the things placed here are things that our demon race doesn't need or doesn't know how to use. I only hope that if the Ten Thousand Demon Valley really encounters an unsolvable danger in the future, you can come together to help solve the problem! I'm here to thank you all in advance!"

After saying this, Shou Weng also bowed deeply to Matthew and the others.
