Chapter 160 Treasure Hunting in the Western Sea
After a few brief pleasantries, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, glanced at himself and asked probingly:
"Oh, right."
"I wonder if your arrival in this remote Western Sea today is merely a passing journey, or... is there something I can do for you?"
While saying this, Ao Run was secretly thinking to himself.
Before this, she and Chen Changsheng were complete strangers.
Now, Chen Changsheng's sudden visit to the West Sea Dragon Palace is certainly not without reason.
Of course, Ao Run hoped that Chen Changsheng would come to her seeking her help.
In this way, her Western Sea Dragon Clan could establish a connection with the Saint's lineage.
If anything happens in the future, I might be able to get some help from them.
Upon hearing Ao Runyan's question, Chen Changsheng slowly put down the glass cup in his hand and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Ao Run."
"To be honest, I've come to your West Sea Dragon Palace today because I do need your help!"
Upon hearing what Chen Changsheng said, a glint of light flashed in Ao Run's eyes, and he quickly replied:
"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely!"
"If Xiaolong can help, he will definitely do so."
This was a perfect opportunity to curry favor with the sage's lineage, and Ao Run naturally wouldn't miss it.
Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said:
"Recently, during a period of quiet contemplation, I suddenly sensed an opportunity that was destined to occur deep within the Western Sea."
"Therefore I have come specifically to seek it, and I hope you, fellow Daoist, will do me a favor."
As soon as Chen Changsheng uttered these words, Ao Run was stunned and exclaimed in surprise:
"Opportunity?"
She paused, staring at Chen Changsheng with a look of astonishment, and muttered to herself:
What opportunities might the Western Sea offer?
In the past, there were indeed many opportunities and treasures in the Western Sea.
But with the decline of the dragon race, the entire Western Sea region was in ruins.
What other decent opportunities could there be?
Of course, although he was hesitant, Ao Run didn't say anything. Instead, he showed enthusiasm and responded:
"I see!"
"Since you have received a response, it must be a sign from the Heavenly Dao."
"Would you like Xiaolong to show us the way?"
Seeing Ao Run's politeness, a strange light flashed quickly in Chen Changsheng's eyes.
He knew very well that Ao Run must have wanted to befriend him after learning his identity.
He was naturally very familiar with matters concerning the dragon race.
After the war between the three races, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races declined.
Nowadays, the dragon race can only eke out a living by relying on the four seas.
He was a disciple of Zhao Gongming, the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect. Zhao Gongming was renowned, and the Dragon Clan naturally wanted to curry favor with him!
After a moment's thought, Chen Changsheng came to his senses and said calmly:
"I can sense the location of that opportunity."
"However, since Fellow Daoist Ao Run wishes to lead the way, then let us go together."
Seeing that Chen Changsheng had agreed, Ao Run was naturally overjoyed, and she was happy to serve him.
Without further ado, the two left the Dragon Palace together.
Following the directions provided by the system, Chen Changsheng headed towards the level-four treasure trove.
Ao Run followed closely behind Chen Changsheng.
Before long, the two crossed a dark and deep trench.
Along the way, one can see many ruins on the seabed of the Western Sea, all of which are testaments to the decline and fall of the dragon race.
Soon, Chen Changsheng and Ao Run arrived at a sea valley deep in the ocean.
"Fellow Daoist Ao Run, the opportunity lies here."
Chen Changsheng said calmly, glancing casually at Ao Run standing to the side.
According to the system, the level-four treasure location that was dropped is in this sea valley.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Run was startled and couldn't help but mutter in surprise:
"Right here?"
As he spoke, Ao Run's gaze swept across the sea valley ahead, and his Golden Immortal divine sense covered it, but he found nothing unusual.
Shocked, she quickly turned to look at Chen Changsheng, and said with a hint of disbelief:
"Fellow Daoist."
"Are you...are you sure that opportunity lies here?"
Without a second thought, Chen Changsheng nodded, his face full of certainty:
"Yes, right here."
Ao Run paused, his lips parted slightly, but he didn't know what to say.
After all, in her view, the place in front of her was just an ordinary sea valley. What kind of opportunity could there be here?
Just as Ao Run was stunned, Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said:
"Fellow Daoist Ao Run, please step back!"
"I'll unearth that opportunity!"
Upon hearing what Chen Changsheng said, Ao Run looked bewildered, but his movements were swift as he retreated a short distance behind him.
After standing still, Ao Run frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
"dig?"
Before she could think any further, she saw Chen Changsheng casually wave his hand, and a dark iron shovel appeared in his hand.
"what?"
"You...you're actually digging?"
Seeing this, Ao Run was completely bewildered.
I can't figure out what Chen Changsheng is trying to do.
After all, Chen Changsheng is a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Even if there is a treasure hidden below the sea valley, he can retrieve it with his magic power. Why would he need to take out a shovel to dig it up?
In Ao Run's view, wasn't this unnecessary?
Just as Ao Run was at a loss and confused, Chen Changsheng didn't delay and immediately started digging in the treasure site with a shovel.
After staring intently at this scene, Ao Run's brows furrowed with even greater confusion.
"What's going on?"
"There's nothing down there?"
"Wouldn't a simple probe with divine sense reveal the answer?"
"The key question is, why bother digging with those ordinary iron tools?"
The more Ao Run thought about it, the more bewildered and lost he became.
They simply did not believe that Chen Changsheng could produce any extraordinary opportunities or treasures.
Of course, given Chen Changsheng's status, she only thought this in her heart and didn't say anything aloud.
And so, Chen Changsheng continued digging.
A short while later, as his shovel fell, a crisp sound came from below.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Changsheng dug out a treasure chest.
"this?"
"Is...is there really a treasure?"
When Ao Run saw this, he was completely dumbfounded and stared in disbelief.
You should know that she had just used her divine sense to probe the area below, and there was clearly nothing there.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Changsheng actually unearthed a treasure chest.
Shocked, Ao Run stared intently at the treasure chest, a question forming in his mind:
"What happened?"
"There really are treasures buried at the bottom of the sea?"
"Could it be that some ancient dragon ancestor was buried here?"
For a moment, Ao Run's thoughts were in turmoil.
In her opinion, the treasure chest was most likely left behind by the ancient dragon race.
After all, in ancient times, the dragon race was a powerful and dominant force that shook the world.
After a moment's thought, Ao Run quickly suppressed the shock in his heart.
Even if it's true, as she thought, that the treasure chest was dug up by Chen Changsheng, it means that it's destined to be with Chen Changsheng.
Upon thinking of this, Ao Run quickly offered his congratulations:
Congratulations, fellow Daoist!
"Fellow Daoist, you truly have a wonderful opportunity!"
"This object has been covered in dust for thousands of years, but now it has found a wise ruler."
