A stone-like golden ingot hovered in the air, surrounded by a circle of golden light shining all around.

Inside this already dilapidated temple, the golden light appeared even brighter and holier.

Qing Li saw this scene, her emotions clearly not very high, showing little interest.

She had come to seek the treasure of the Golden Village, but now this scene clearly didn’t meet her expectations.

"Actually, those words just now…"

Qiao Mu glanced back at Qing Li with some surprise:

"You didn’t seriously listen to all of it, did you?"

Qing Li didn’t answer, just muttered to herself:

"I once heard someone say, be careful when someone in front of you speaks high-sounding moral principles."

"Most likely, people like this have hidden motives, they just use words to decorate."

"What do you want to say?" asked Qiao Mu.

Qing Li’s sudden words clearly didn’t discuss the character of the Gold Ingot Demon with him.

"This Gold Ingot Demon, they say it often gives gold nuggets to poor people, gets involved in changing others’ lives, so, what does it want?"

"Maybe there really are kind people who help others without any reason, but do you think it looks like one?"

Qing Li is a local person from Southwest Province, and at the same time she is a half-demon.

She has actually dealt with many monsters inside these hundred thousand mountains.

In this world, most monsters are difficult to judge using human morals and laws.

"Are you a different kind of rock monster that feeds on human desires?" Qing Li made a guess.

"I heard that such different kinds often have the ability to enchant people’s hearts."

"By using magical rocks to stir up human desires, they obtain endless gold from you, while you feast on their desires and greed to strengthen yourself?"

In the ancient times when spiritual energy was abundant, the mainstream monsters were those who absorbed the energy of heaven and earth for cultivation. The so-called different kinds were just a few special beings born in unique environments.

It’s just that the present situation is different now.

In today’s era, even the cultivators, who were once the rulers of heaven and earth, have declined significantly, relying on the assistance of incense for their practice. They have fallen behind, especially compared to the Soul Changing Period, not to mention the monsters who were already inferior to cultivators.

These different kinds born in special environments actually have a higher limit in this era.

"Everyone just takes what they need." The Gold Ingot Demon didn’t deny it, but just sneered:

"People’s hearts are deep, why do they still need me to deceive them?"

"But there are some foolish humans who are not aware of their own foolishness," said Gold Ingot Demon lightly.

"Qiao Pian, he’s talking about you."

Gold Ingot Demon let out a deep chuckle, and his voice spread out, "You don’t actually think you are slaying demons and protecting the people, do you?"

Just as the deep chuckle began, it abruptly stopped.

A figure covered in blood soared into the air again, crashing forcefully into the shiny Gold Ingot Demon. With a pair of iron fists, it smashed the giant Gold Ingot, leaving clear cracks and dust in its wake.

The Gold Ingot Demon cracked open, revealing a layer of golden skin underneath the shattered stone skin, shining with a faint metallic sheen.

"Are you going to help me transform myself?"

The Gold Ingot Demon’s stone skin cracked all over his body, making him slightly smaller, but the golden light on his body became even brighter.

"This is Taotie City, a small mountain city in the midst of a hundred thousand mountains," Gold Ingot Demon floated up again, his voice tinged with annoyance.

"For three years, the legend of Golden Village has been spreading for three years."

"The entire Ten Thousand Mountains are nothing but the backyard of Yunxiao Sect. Do you think you can hide anything from Yunxiao Sect in this city?"

"I have long been a member of Yunxiao Sect, while you, an outsider, have disturbed the peace of this place and ruined the plans of many years."

"You’re already preparing to show off? All bark and no bite, what a waste." Qiao Mu didn’t listen to him, unleashing his full strength and punching the Gold Ingot Demon repeatedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

With each punch, golden light scattered, creating sounds like ringing bells that echoed through the mountains and forests, spreading far away.

To Qiao Mu’s slight surprise, the Gold Ingot Demon seemed to have no powerful attack methods, only dodging repeatedly.

With each hit, cracks appeared on the Gold Ingot Demon’s body, shrinking its form while the golden light grew brighter.

Soon after being hit several times, the Gold Ingot Demon flew backward like a sharp arrow, heading towards Taotie City below.

The abandoned temple wasn’t far from Taotie City. Qiao Mu quickly chased and reached the gate area of Taotie City.

"Who are you? This is the God of Wealth. How dare you disrespect the gods…" An old man dressed in gold and jade came out at the gate, pointing at Qiao Mu angrily, trembling with rage.

"Without the God of Wealth, all the gold in Taotie City is just worthless stones. Can you handle it?"

But no one paid attention to him.

A figure surrounded by a blood-red aura stepped on empty space, aiming straight towards the floating Gold Ingot Demon.

"Ripple Stacking Wave Strength, three layers, four layers."

Powerful energy surged like a storm, erupting with each swing of Qiao Mu’s fists.

If Qing Li excelled in physical strength as a top martial artist, Qiao Mu was unparalleled in using internal strength techniques. Even the ancient emperor of Great Yan paled in comparison to him.

Yet, this layered punch, like overlapping waves, required a brief moment to gather strength.

When Qiao Mu gathered his inner strength and unleashed the Fourfold Wave, the Gold Ingot Demon was struck so heavily that it flew back rapidly like a shooting star, shining like a golden meteor tearing through the sky.

The place where the meteor stopped was right behind the Taotie City.

"Qiao Pian, you are so foolish," the Gold Ingot Demon’s laughter echoed in the wind.

"This is my escape route… and next, it’s my turn."

. With a loud bang, the Gold Ingot Demon landed inside the Taotie City, powered by the immense strength of that punch.

…………………………..

Inside the Luo Family Ancestral Hall.

The leader of the Luo family leaned on a cane and once again gathered the younger members of the family.

At this moment, in front of the long table in the ancestral hall, there was a table full of shining gold, looking very grand.

"Chief, are you really going to share these gold coins with us?" exclaimed Luo Cheng and others.

"You may take them." The chief cleared his throat and said.

After feeling the joy of making money shared by Qiao Mu yesterday, he almost couldn’t hold back his excitement.

But at his age, he had been through all sorts of ups and downs. There’s no obstacle he couldn’t overcome.

"Qiao Pian has already left, we, the Luo family, will have to carry on as usual."

The chief was cautious, and secretly hid a lot of gold in a hidden cellar in the city.

Even though the philosopher’s stone was gone, there was still a cellar full of gold under his control, enough to revive Mount Dong for their Luo family.

The chief wasn’t entirely selfless, he couldn’t just give away the family’s silver to the clan.

But this gold was all made from nothing, created by the philosopher’s stone, so he didn’t mind sharing it.

The gold that appeared would turn back into stones if no one believed in it.

Members of the Luo family are closely connected. When the clan is in trouble, he naturally gives out some gold to reassure the hearts of the clan members, hoping to revive Mount Dong.

"Let’s distribute it all." The clan leader waved his hand.

"In the future, we must be more careful in our gold business and not provoke people like Qiao Pian again."

The Luo family started in Taotie City, relying on the gold business to deceive greedy speculators like Old Yang.

Now with enough gold on hand, it seemed that they only needed to redo the path they took three years ago…

The leader of the Luo family was talking to the clan members, describing the beautiful vision of Mount Dong’s revival.

But then there was a loud noise.

A huge golden ingot broke through the roof of the ancestral hall and landed on the long table, shining brightly.

"What’s this? Did a Gold Ingot fall from the sky?"

"Such a big Gold Ingot? How much weight is this?"

"Unexpected fortune? Chief, this is a sign of good luck!"

When everyone excitedly discussed.

That huge Gold Ingot floated up, emitting a deep chuckle.

"Don’t be silly, good things don’t fall from the sky."

It’s a demon, are they really going to help people for no reason?

The Gold Ingot floated up, tilted slightly, as if overlooking the pile of gold on the long table, nodding in satisfaction:

"Raised for a thousand days, today is finally the right time."
