Urban Demon Refining System

"You audacious human! How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the Azure Wave Pool! Come here at once to face your death!"

Two fish-like monsters wielding harpoons swam rapidly toward the conch shell, one of them shouting angrily.

"It's the guard fish monsters of Benboerba, be careful!" Prime Minister Turtle shouted a warning. "Each of these guys has strength approaching that of a great demon, and they're no easier to deal with than that octopus monster!"

"Hiss~" Before Xiao Yang could reply, Xiao Qing in her hand immediately showed a disdainful expression and then shot out like an arrow.

"Ah! What is that..." Xiao Qing was very fast and quickly arrived in front of the fish monster on the right. She nimbly swung her tail and went straight through the hole in his heart!

"Pfft!" A cloud of blood mist burst out, and the fish monster's strong body fell straight down.

"How dare you! You actually killed the Guardian Fish Monster!" The other fish monster was terrified by this scene, and took out a conch shell from its body, seemingly putting it to its mouth and blowing on it.

"It's sending a signal! Stop it!"

"Whoosh!" Without Turtle Prime Minister's reminder, Xiao Qing rushed towards the conch shell like lightning. "Crack!" The conch shell shattered in response, but Xiao Qing's momentum did not diminish, and she almost instantly passed through the head of the Guardian Fish Monster!

"This..." The Turtle Prime Minister beside him nearly popped his eyes out. "This shouldn't be! Even if she received the inheritance, her strength has increased far too quickly! Could it be..." Suddenly, another possibility flashed through his mind, and the next moment, the way he looked at Xiao Qing changed completely...

"Hiss!" Little Green had no idea what the Turtle Prime Minister was thinking. After dealing with the two fish monsters, it swam around the corpses again and quickly found two bags. It then ran to Xiao Yang and showed them off like a treasure.

"This is... a small Qiankun bag?" Xiao Yang said with some surprise. The two bags looked quite ordinary, but they were printed with some intricate runes, making them look somewhat mysterious.

"These two guard fish monsters are elites under Benboerba's command, numbering no more than ten, so their equipment is naturally excellent!" The Turtle Prime Minister finally recovered from his shock and explained with a smile.

"I see." Xiao Yang nodded. "Although the Small Qiankun Bag isn't uncommon, it's not something just anyone can possess. As far as I know, less than half of the third-generation disciples of Shu Mountain own this treasure!" She was actually speaking to Zhao Baichuan. "The Small Qiankun Bag is like a small warehouse, with about one cubic meter of space inside. As long as you master simple rune techniques, you can open it!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yang demonstrated to Zhao Baichuan how to open the small Qiankun bag. The process was not complicated, and he quickly learned it. "Whoosh!" As the last rune was unlocked, the contents were poured out.

"It seems this fish monster is quite wealthy!" At this moment, both small Qiankun bags had been opened, and their contents had been taken out. The Turtle Prime Minister made full use of his ancient artifacts, identifying each item one by one.

"This is a luminous pearl! It emits a dazzling light and is highly prized by the aquatic creatures," said the Turtle Prime Minister, pointing to a perfectly translucent pearl.

"This is a thousand-year-old bronze gong shell! It's an important material for making magical artifacts. It's a pity that this shell hasn't fully evolved. If it were a silver gong shell, its value would be a whole level higher!"

Zhao Baichuan looked curiously at the copper gong shell, and sure enough, a ring of silvery-white spirals had developed around its outermost edge.

"That's plainclothes waterweed, it's very tough, and it's the main material for making soft weapons and magical artifacts."

"This is red worm incense! It has a great attraction for low-level aquatic monsters!"

It has to be said that these two fish monsters are incredibly wealthy; any item they take out is worth a fortune. However, in the words of the Turtle Prime Minister, these things only deserve a "good" evaluation.

Zhao Baichuan could only respond with a wry smile; he could never even dream of what those things were!

"Huh? This thing is interesting!" Suddenly, the Turtle Prime Minister exclaimed in surprise, digging out a map made of an unknown animal hide from the bottom.

"Prime Minister Turtle, what is this?" Xiao Yang asked curiously.

"This is a treasure map!" Prime Minister Turtle's expression suddenly turned serious. "Miss Xiao, I have a request."

"Please speak!" Xiao Yang was somewhat confused.

"Could you give me this treasure map? I'm willing to exchange it for something of equal value!"

"Prime Minister Turtle, what is this...?"

"To tell you the truth, this treasure map is actually a treasure map of my Dragon Palace!" the Turtle Prime Minister said with a wry smile. "Don't laugh at me, but I actually kept this map myself!"

Next, the Turtle Prime Minister told them a story: it turned out that the treasure map originally recorded the secret treasure of the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King!

Although the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints was a powerful and influential figure who was on friendly terms with great demons like the Bull Demon King, he was actually quite henpecked. Aside from necessary social engagements, all financial power was in the hands of his wife, the Dragon Mother. This was originally a family matter, but as a man with a career, he inevitably faced ridicule from his friends. Over time, the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints conceived the idea of ​​establishing a secret treasury.

Ordinary men can set up slush funds in a few simple ways, but the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints is no ordinary man. His method of setting up a slush fund is naturally unconventional. He actually created a treasure vault and drew up a treasure map, which he placed with his most trusted right-hand man, the Turtle Prime Minister.

That would have been the end of it, but unfortunately, perhaps overconfident after discovering his secret stash, the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints was carelessly discovered by the Dragon Mother. This stirred up a hornet's nest. The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints was not only ordered to hand over the treasure map, but was also forced to kneel on a washboard every day as punishment. This continued until the Nine-Headed Insect married into the family. Through the mediation of the Nine-Headed Insect and Princess Ten Thousand Saints, the secret stash was miraculously preserved.

But fate is unpredictable. The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints, who had just made it big, was betrayed by his own son-in-law. Because he stole the relics from the pagoda, he was attacked by Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen. The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints, who was just about to enjoy his new life, was implicated and died. The Dragon Palace of the Jade Wave Pool was also reduced to ruins.

He may be dead, but the conflict at Bibo Pool is far from over. With their leader gone, the underlings naturally vie for power, and the treasure map becomes the object of everyone's covetousness, even sparking a protracted war!

"The war resulted in mutual destruction, and the treasure map was broken into four pieces, its whereabouts unknown. I never expected that this obscure fish monster would have a fragment of the map!" Prime Minister Turtle said with a sigh.
