"Eight hundred miles from here, there is a great city called Yinping City," Tao Qian began. "Last time, I got Daoist Shan Zhi drunk, and from his lips, I learned a secret: several Elders are refining treasures there."

"Moreover, recently a few warlords have arrived there, occupying the area; presumably, they have all become materials for treasure refining."

"Counting the days, I don't know how many Great Transcendence Bodhisattvas this makes; they should be in the midst of refining one right now."

"If grandfather hurries now, he should make it in time."

...

After hearing all the situations and secrets, Shanyu's face had completely collapsed.

He knelt there, trembling all over, with filth running from his bowels, as if even his soul was about to be scared away.

Previously, he had been making calculations and plotting to be cunning.

But now, he finally realized: the individual before him, who seemed as tender as a young Buddha's son, was in fact a demon even more demonic than the demons themselves.

This sort of method to control people was unheard and unseen by him.

His face turned the color of death, awaiting judgment.

Having heard all these secrets, Tao Qian had gained an approximate understanding of Qiantang Province and the Demon Buddha Temple.

The fog before his eyes had cleared somewhat.

He had planned to slay this demon monk immediately, but upon further thought, a better method presented itself.

With a thought, he summoned demons like the Decree Demon and the Heart Demon and instructed:

"Thoroughly change his nature, make him atone for his own sins."

"As a demon monk, secretly protect the villages and towns around Heibai Temple, as well as these girls."

"After everything is done, settle your own account."

"Yes, Master."

"Master, rest assured, this will be easy."

Amidst the flattery of the demons, Shanyu's eyes widened in disbelief.

Thinking of his impending doom, for the first time, the monk began to feel a sliver of remorse for his evil deeds.

All was arranged!

Tao Qian took Yunrong by the hand and left Gushan, heading for Yinping City, eight hundred miles away.

With their Subterranean Evasion Speed, it did not take long to arrive.

Only to see another great mountain blocking the path ahead.

This mountain was quite abnormal, with a huge yellow cloud covering the sky above, and below was a rugged peak, sheer cliffs and deep ravines, valleys everywhere in sight, with crevices filled with gloomy ancient woods that did not reach high, and dark low bushes in complex layers. Even from afar, one could smell a wave of rot and dampness wafting over.

Seeing this, Yunrong frowned and said:

"This mountain is filled with Source Qi; it is a place for Communication with Ghosts."

"Coupled with its dampness, darkness, and decay, typical devil beasts and demons likely would not wish to cultivate here, only those snakes, insects, rodents, and ants, those evil objects and demon heads that love darkness and dampness, would see this place as a paradise, a blessed land."

"Looking at that yellow cloud that covers the sky, this must be the so-called Yellow Cloud Mountain."

"That secret cave should be the Swallowing Sky Cave, there's a devilish aura hidden within the mountain, perhaps it's that so-called Swallowing Heaven Great Saint, the toad spirit."

"Husband, what do you plan to do? Do you want your sister to cast a spell to catch that toad?"

Tao Qian, hearing her switch between calling him brother and charming husband, was rather helpless.

But the hand that was holding hers never let go.

The two of them were playing the part of a devoted couple, but they were also truly a devoted couple, and the state of their infatuation and passionate love was genuine.

Tao Qian shook his head and pointed at the Yellow Cloud Mountain:

"Although this mountain's filth cannot compare with Immortal Crane Mountain, it's not much better; how can I let sister go there and get sullied by it?"

"That yellow cloud is called the Earth Filth Yellow Cloud, which is a treasure for evil cultivators, born from the condensation of the earth's yin energy, vapor, and filth."

"Daoist Chen Xiyi once told me that the toad spirit, known for its vast aura, likes to lie on the mountain peak and absorb the clouds and mist to cultivate. Now, acting so cautiously and hiding within the mountain, it must be frightened by the presence of many strong people and warlords in the nearby Yinping City, fearing that its Toad Pearl and even its life might be taken."

"Daoist Chen has also mentioned the arrangements inside the mountain belly, where there is a large pool-like puddle connected to the earth's underground rivers. Should it sense danger, that toad can jump into the river and escape."

"However, this toad spirit has a very bad habit."

"Once startled, it will immediately spit out the Toad Pearl to strike at people."

"That Bead, having been cultivated by it to move at will, is indeed untouchable by ordinary cultivators."

"Too bad, it happens to meet me, so what can it do?"

As his words fell, Tao Qian was already on the move.

First, he casually sent a few demons into that dark secret cave in the mountain's belly.

Then, with a low shout, he commanded:

"Toad Monster, your doomsday has arrived, come out quickly and meet your death."

...

Indeed, inside the mountain belly, just as Tao Qian had said, there was another Grotto Heaven.

Next to a large puddle of water lay a big, yellow-skinned toad, as big as a small hill, covered in bumps, rotten flesh, black spots, and small flesh thorns, among other things. Its pair of swollen, jaundiced eyes, filled with a sinister hue, were half-closed, as if sleeping but not quite asleep.

What was particularly strange was that this toad demon also had a pair of leathery wings, torn and tattered like a large piece of yellow cloth ripped apart.

Dangling in front of its body, it looked at them and a flash of arrogance crossed its eyes.

These leathery wings were a kind of Divine Skill from Alien Species called Yellow Cloud Sky Wings.

With just a flap, it could fly thousands of miles in an instant.

While it couldn't compare with the Cultivation World's most famous Free Heart Light Escape Technique, it wasn't too far behind either.

"Back in the day, I, Huang Baoming, was just a physically disabled commoner, deaf and hunchbacked, making a living by raising toads and selling them in taverns and markets."

"Who would have thought that one day, I would witness my wife's infidelity, only to be killed by her and her lover, who then threw me into the toad pool."

"But my fate was not yet sealed, and I unexpectedly got hold of a treasure, the Toad Pearl. After devouring that adulterous couple, I embarked on the path of cultivation."

"My hump, upon reaching Foundation Establishment, transformed into a pair of strange wings."

"However, the world of cultivation is indeed dangerous; the slightest carelessness could lead to death, and one can never have too many ways to protect oneself."
