What's stealing It's wholesale

"Roar?"

Thirteen tilted his head, and his eyeballs squeezed together.

Du ke raised his hand to straighten Thirteen's head and then rubbed his brow.

"Where did you learn these bad habits? It's bad enough to tilt your head, but why the crossed eyes too?"

"Woof!"

Thirteen shook his head and happily pounced on Du ke.

Then,

He was suppressed by a swipe from the cat.

Du ke, who was overturned by the dog, rubbed his belly while looking at the treasures below through the opening he had made.

With his belly being rubbed, Thirteen narrowed his eyes in contentment, pulled his ears, tucked his neck, lifted all four legs, and wagged his tail.

Ahehehe, so comfortable!

While rubbing the dog's belly, Du ke muttered to himself, "I didn't expect to stumble upon the treasure trove of the Wutong Temple due to a fortuitous coincidence."

"It seems they deserve their misfortune this time!"

As Du ke said this, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go, Thirteen, let's go wholesale!"

Du ke stopped rubbing Thirteen's belly and patted him.

Thirteen, who was enjoying the comfort, opened his eyes and looked at his own cat, whimpering in question,

What does "wholesale" mean?

"You'll find out soon enough!"

Du ke laughed wickedly, causing Thirteen to pull his ears, feeling that the mischief in the Cat Lord's mind was starting to act up again!

But before Thirteen could think too much, Du ke grabbed him and jumped into the opening.

In the moment of rapid descent for the cat and dog, the dog instinctively let out a howl of fear.

Cat Lord, I'm afraid of heights!

Fortunately, Du ke held Thirteen with both paws and carried him in a princess carry position, landing safely.

With a muffled thud, Du ke landed with Thirteen in his arms.

Two shallow plum blossom imprints were left on the floor tiles in the treasure trove, and Thirteen, still closing his eyes, held onto the cat's head, howling incessantly in his mouth.

The experience of being abandoned in a tree by the cat in Steaming Cloud Mountain had instilled a fear of heights in him.

"Alright, alright, we've landed, why are you still howling?"

As Du ke let go of the dog, Thirteen opened one eye first, looked around, and when he found that they had landed safely, he wagged his tail and let go of Du ke.

"We only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, so hurry up."

Du ke looked at the pile of gold and silver and smacked his lips. "So, we won't pick the expensive or the good ones, just the ones with fate!"

"Roar?"

Fate?

Thirteen blinked. What is fate?

Du ke stood up and bent down to pick up a gold brick from the ground.

"Look, this is the one that has fate with us!"

"But the fate is shallow, so we can't take too much."

While speaking, Du ke stuffed the gold brick into his black cauldron space. When the dog saw the cat's actions, his ears perked up.

He immediately picked up a fist-sized night pearl and handed it to Du ke.

Du ke took it and threw it away.

"This one has no fate with us. Even looking at it is a waste of our time!"

Thirteen stared at the Night Pearl that Duke had thrown away, his gaze following as it rolled on the ground.

"Besides, the Night Pearl you used to play with in Langya Palace when you were a child was much bigger than this one!"

Duke pointed to the huge Night Pearl embedded in the dome above and said, "Even if there is fate, it's a different kind!"

Thirteen nodded, seemingly understanding. Duke patted his dog.

"Alright, go and pick something you think is destined for us, and bring it to me later!"

As Duke said this, he suddenly remembered the storage bag he had thrown into the Black Cauldron space before.

Duke took out the storage bag directly and held it in his hand.

"I can't use this thing since I have no spiritual power. Even if I stir up spiritual resonance, I can only store things in it. It's better to throw it into the furnace and refine it into a pill."

Duke shook the storage bag and threw it into the Black Cauldron, letting the flames roast it.

The storage bag quickly melted and twisted inside the Black Cauldron, turning into a pill shape. Duke began his own large-scale distribution.

"Come, let me take a look at what other good things are in here!"

...........

Inside a certain Taoist palace in Wutong Temple.

The skinny figure of the Wutong Temple supervisor sat cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes slightly closed, revealing a narrow gap. His breathing was long and distant.

"Supervisor, Supervisor!"

Suddenly, a cry of alarm came, and the supervisor opened his eyes unhappily and scolded, "What's with all the shouting?!"

"Something bad happened, Supervisor. Someone dug open the altar of the Five Ghosts Transport Array set up by the Wutong Great God in the temple."

As soon as the Taoist messenger delivering the news spoke, the supervisor's eyes emitted a force, and his Taoist robe fluttered without wind.

"What did you say?"

In an instant, the supervisor appeared in front of the messenger, and his withered hand grabbed the messenger's neck, lifting him up.

"Altar No. 5 of the Jia Zi Shen was breached, and we found this inside!"

While the messenger struggled to speak, he took out a golden pill the size of a pigeon's egg.

The pill was golden all over and emitted its own radiance. When the messenger had just taken it out, the supervisor felt a wave of heat coming towards him.

The messenger had stored the pill in a special jade box, which had prevented direct contact with the pill.

If touched directly with his hand, it would probably burn.

The supervisor released the messenger and took the pill from his hand. His eyebrows immediately raised.

"This... could it be... the Golden Core?"

Feeling the scorching temperature of the Sun Essence Pill in his hand, the supervisor couldn't contain his excitement.

"Supervisor, what is a Golden Core?"

The messenger rubbed his neck and asked in confusion.

Without even looking at him, the supervisor flicked his sleeve, and the messenger's head exploded like a watermelon being smashed with a stick.

The supervisor put away the Sun Essence Pill and walked out of his Taoist palace, his steps filled with vigor. He shouted loudly, "Someone, tidy up!"

"Yes, Supervisor!"

"Also, bring a few people with me to Altar No. 5 of the Jia Zi Shen!"

"Yes!"

Inside the treasury,

Thirteen eagerly ran towards Duke, dragging a tiger-headed spear. Duke was sitting in front of a calligraphy and painting, his eyes filled with a different color.

The content of the painting is quite simple, featuring only a single orchid.

However, the more Du ke looked at the orchid, the more he felt its extraordinary nature.

There was a powerful charm emanating from this painting, a charm that far surpassed anything he had seen before.

Of course, except for that mysterious bone.

Although the charm of this painting was strong, it was no match for that bone.

What attracted Du ke was not only the charm revealed in the painting but also the artistic conception exuded by the painting itself.

As a martial arts enthusiast, Du ke could clearly sense the existence of this artistic conception.

It was like the martial intent required for advancing to the Innate stage.

Thirteen came to Du ke's side and threw the tiger-headed spear he had dragged along with a clang.

The commotion caught Du ke's attention, and the cat looked towards the tiger-headed spear, immediately gasping in surprise.

"Wow, what a fierce weapon for the battlefield!"

"Where did you find this thing?"

"Roar!"

The dog immediately changed direction and pointed towards the direction of the tiger-headed spear he had just dragged over. Du ke also said, "Hm, this thing is pretty good; we have a connection with it!"

"You did a great job, keep searching!"

"Woof!"

Thirteen nodded immediately and eagerly rushed out to find something that had a connection with the Lord Cat.

At this moment, Du ke also noticed that the black cauldron trembled, indicating that the storage bag refinement was complete.

He took out a semi-transparent pill from the spatial compartment of the black cauldron. This pill resembled a crystal ball, transparent on the outside but with swirling smoke inside, quite extraordinary.

"How do I use this thing?"

Du ke instinctively shook the storage pill in his hand and then tentatively pressed it against the tiger-headed spear beside him.

Before Du ke could activate the charm of the storage pill, as soon as it came into contact with the tiger-headed spear, it slipped away.

Conversely, a tiny scar, like a mosquito bite, appeared inside the storage pill.

Du ke carefully looked into the pill. It was not a scar but clearly the disappeared tiger-headed spear.

"Is using this storage pill really that simple?"

Du ke pressed the storage pill against the painting again, but the painting didn't react at all. He recalled his previous action of rubbing the storage pill against the painting.

Immediately, the painting disappeared, and the image of the painting appeared within the storage pill.

"So, that's how it's used!"

Du ke smiled, shook the storage pill, and whistled.

Upon hearing Du ke's call, Thirteen, who was excitedly searching for treasures, immediately flew towards Du ke.

When the dog came over, Du ke threw the storage pill in his hand to Thirteen.

"This is a storage pill that was just refined. You only need to rub the pill on an item to take it away."

"I have my own storage space, so you can use this!"

Thirteen accepted the storage pill Du ke threw and nodded vigorously.

"Alright, let's continue searching!"

"Woof!"

Thirteen turned his head and ran off, while Du ke leisurely walked around the treasure trove.

The treasure trove was extremely large, with a length and width similar to that of a large football field, and the height of the floor and the dome was also about thirty to forty feet.

In addition, the items in the treasure trove were not randomly placed.

Except for gold and silver, which were casually thrown on the ground, all other kinds of treasures were organized according to their categories.

"Oh, there's actually a Pill Scroll here!"

Duke suddenly noticed a shelf and casually pulled out a book. There were several large characters on it.

"King of Medicine Pill Scroll?"

"Interesting, what are the others?"

"Life Gu Pill Theory?"

"Nine Revolutions Pill Chart?"

"Five Elements Pill Theory?"

"Yin Yang Pill Discourse?"

.........

Duke took down these pill scrolls one by one and stored them in his own Black Cauldron space.

In no time, he had taken all the pill scrolls.

He realized that he seemed to have entered the part of the treasure trove specifically dedicated to the placement of books, not just pill scrolls but also various martial arts manuals, military strategy books, feng shui books, history books, and more.

Numerous books were placed here, making Duke's head spin with the overwhelming variety.

As Duke was selecting and taking away all the books he needed, the white cat, who had picked out what it wanted, hadn't even moved forward when it heard urgent barking coming from Thirteen's direction.

"What's happening?"

Duke immediately rushed towards Thirteen, and with a few leaps, he arrived at the corner where Thirteen was.

As soon as he landed, Duke couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh my god, there are actually so many medicinal herbs here?"

"And these... " Duke stared at the piles of medicinal herbs and also noticed something different, a strong and captivating spiritual aura that caught his attention.

"These... these... are the Five Elements Essence!?"
