For those monsters who didn't wish to join Huaguo Mountain, stealing various treasures from Huaguo Mountain was the best choice.
Although this was almost impossible, there were always monsters who believed their skills were exceptional, capable of evading capture by Huaguo Mountain, only to end up caught and sent to the mines.
"Have you heard? The Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong, who was ranked among the immortals and titled the Eastern Leisurely Spirit King by Heaven, has planted a peach tree in Shuilian Cave that bears fruit which could rival the results of a hundred lifetimes of ascetic cultivation by the gods."
Atop a mountain in Ao Lai, a donkey demon, who made a living by ambushing and robbing, said to a likewise bandit horse demon, "A hundred lifetimes of gods' ascetic cultivation, and if we eat it, perhaps we could live forever!"
The horse demon, chewing on some grass, said, "What does it have to do with us? We can't eat it anyway."
