Eavesdropping on Inner Voices, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword Against Dingguang Immortal at the Start

Li Xiao said casually, as if on purpose.

"Oh dear, Junior Sister Qiongxiao, it's not that your Senior Brother is stingy, it's just that fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation are too precious. If word got out, that old Daoist Hongjun would be here in an instant. I don't want the duck I've caught flying away!"

Just then, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's thoughts.

"Heavens, it's actually fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation..."

A tempest raged in Yunxiao's heart, and she looked at Li Xiao with disbelief.

"Huh? Why is this girl Yunxiao looking at me like that again? Does Junior Sister Yunxiao really like me?"

Then, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's thoughts again.

"Fifth Senior Brother is so narcissistic..."

Yunxiao was speechless for a moment. She gave Li Xiao a blank look and turned to walk towards Yingzhou Immortal Island.

"Fifth Senior Brother, you already have Penglai Immortal Island. Won't you let me have Yingzhou Immortal Island? Please, please..."

Bixiao's eyes rolled. She stepped forward, grabbed Li Xiao's arm, and shook it back and forth, her ample chest swaying with the motion.

Li Xiao was almost blinded by the shaking.

Just as Li Xiao was about to give in, Yingzhou Immortal Island suddenly trembled slightly. Bixiao's expression changed, and she looked back, only to see Li Xiao's name already on the boundary marker of Yingzhou Immortal Island.

It turned out that Yingzhou Immortal Island had also voluntarily recognized him as its master!

"I..."

Bixiao was rendered speechless.

"Uh? That... that Junior Sister Bixiao, I really..."

Li Xiao chuckled sheepishly.

"Hmph!"

Bixiao proudly let go of Li Xiao's arm and strode into the immortal island.

Like Penglai Immortal Island, Yingzhou Immortal Island was formed from fragments of the primordial chaos when Great God Pangu created the heavens and earth. It was a world unto itself, with even miniature suns and moons, surrounded by stars, making it a rare and precious immortal island.

The spiritual energy on the island was no less than that of Penglai Immortal Island.

Everyone watched with delight.

After admiring it for a while, the five of them left Yingzhou Immortal Island and prepared to return to Golden Ao Island.

Halfway there, Li Xiao stopped his cloud head again.

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters' faces twitched violently, and they exclaimed in unison, "No way?"

"That... that Junior Brother Gongming, Junior Sister Sanxiao, this humble Taoist has sensed another opportunity!"

Li Xiao smiled sheepishly.

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters were speechless.

Being with Li Xiao was truly infuriating!

This guy would sense an opportunity here and there, and immortal islands and spiritual treasures would automatically recognize him as their master. But they, on the other hand, couldn't sense anything, not even a whiff. It was truly maddening to compare oneself to another.

Li Xiao immediately turned into a stream of light and sped towards the direction of the opportunity.

As they approached, they saw another enormous immortal island.

This immortal island was no less in scale than the previous two, lush and green, with spiritual energy so dense it was outrageous.

"This is... Fangzhang Immortal Island from the Three Immortal Islands!"

Qiongxiao found the boundary marker and was about to refine it.

But at that moment, the immortal island trembled, and Li Xiao's name appeared on the boundary marker again. Clearly, the immortal island had voluntarily recognized him as its master once more.

Qiongxiao turned and glared fiercely at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao shrugged, looking helpless, as if to say, I'm just a Lazy Fish, but they insisted on recognizing me as their master. I can't help it...

Chapter 39: Tongtian vs. Zhunti, A Beating

Just then, everyone noticed a bamboo grove in the center of the immortal island, especially one incredibly thick bamboo stalk in the very middle.

The bamboo stalk reached straight into the sky, its entire body a vibrant emerald green, like a piece of flawless jade.

"Is that... Bitter Bamboo, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots?"

Bixiao gasped, her breathing quickening.

Then, everyone took off, sprinting towards the Bitter Bamboo.

Only Li Xiao walked slowly, as if he didn't care about the Bitter Bamboo at all.

In fact, while Bitter Bamboo was good, Li Xiao truly didn't care. He had plenty of treasures. What was the harm in letting Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters have a mere Bitter Bamboo?

Moreover, giving it to the Three Xiao sisters was not giving it to outsiders!

Li Xiao had always had a thought in his heart: Well, the Three Xiao sisters are my people!

Just then, the running Three Xiao sisters and Zhao Gongming suddenly froze in mid-air, as if fixed in place by some mysterious force.

Li Xiao's pupils contracted sharply. Immediately after, he saw the void ripple not far away, and a plump Taoist in Western attire walked out from it.

The Buddha wheel behind the Daoist's head spun, and his body shone with golden light, as if in harmony with the Heavenly Dao.

Li Xiao recognized this person; it was the Daoist Zhunti, one of the Two Sages of the West.

"Right, it seems this Bitter Bamboo belongs to Daoist Zhunti, and Zhunti refined it into something called the Six Roots Pure Bamboo!"

Li Xiao's scalp tingled.

After all, the person before him was a Saint, and they had no room to resist.

"My young friends, this Bitter Bamboo is fated with this humble Taoist, so I shall take it!"

Daoist Zhunti said indifferently.

As he spoke, he extended a large hand and reached for the Bitter Bamboo.

At that very moment, the Bitter Bamboo suddenly transformed into a green light and directly drilled into Li Xiao's body.

To be precise, it drilled into the Chaos Bead within Li Xiao's body.

It turned out that the Chaos Bead contained its own world, filled with endless chaotic energy. The Bitter Bamboo was originally an innate object that thrived on chaotic energy, especially the purest chaotic energy within the Chaos Bead.

Coupled with the influence of the Lazy Fish System!

The more Li Xiao didn't want the Bitter Bamboo, the more it clung to him!

Therefore, the Bitter Bamboo directly entered Li Xiao's body!

Daoist Zhunti was stunned, then looked at Li Xiao with disbelief and said, "Young friend Li Xiao, that Bitter Bamboo is fated with this humble Taoist, please hand it over!"

Li Xiao looked at Daoist Zhunti, on the verge of tears, and said, "Saint, that Bitter Bamboo... it... it automatically recognized me as its master, I can't help it!"

"Young friend, how about this: if you silently recite the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts, this humble Taoist will gift you the Bitter Bamboo, what do you say?"

Daoist Zhunti hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Damn it!

What did he mean by "recite the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts" and then he'd give me the Bitter Bamboo?

Both the Bitter Bamboo and the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts belonged to me, why would I give them to you?

However, in this situation, if Li Xiao didn't hand over the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts, he feared he wouldn't be able to escape.

"Moo..."

Just as Li Xiao was in a dilemma, a bovine roar suddenly echoed through the void.

Hearing this bovine roar, Daoist Zhunti's old face changed drastically, and he quickly turned his head to look.

He saw the Tongtian Cult Master slowly emerging, riding Kui Niu.

"Teacher..."

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters were overjoyed to see the Tongtian Cult Master.

Li Xiao, upon seeing the Tongtian Cult Master, was somewhat exasperated and shouted, "Teacher, your disciple is being bullied, and you have time to ride a cow? You, you..."

The Tongtian Cult Master's expression turned dark, and he glared fiercely at Li Xiao. He then turned to Daoist Zhunti and said in a deep voice, "Zhunti, you've truly become more audacious, bullying my disciple here!"

Daoist Zhunti's face turned extremely ugly upon seeing the Tongtian Cult Master. He chuckled, clasped his hands together, and said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you jest. That Bitter Bamboo was fated with this humble Taoist, and I came here specifically to retrieve it, but alas, your disciple..."

"Bah, what do you mean fated with you? If it was fated with you, why did it end up in my disciple's pocket? Zhunti, put away your hypocritical excuses, I won't fall for your tricks!"

The Tongtian Cult Master glared at Daoist Zhunti and directly cursed him.

Daoist Zhunti chuckled, looked at the Tongtian Cult Master, clasped his hands together, and said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, the Bitter Bamboo is indeed fated with this humble Taoist. Please ask your disciple to return it, and this humble Taoist will leave immediately..."

The Tongtian Cult Master let out a cold snort. Behind him, the Qingping Sword "clanged" out, emitting a cold glint, and he said in a deep voice, "Scram!"

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian..."

Daoist Zhunti was still unwilling to give up.

"Hmph, seeking death!"

The Tongtian Cult Master was furious. With a light shout, the Qingping Sword flew out from behind him and slashed towards Daoist Zhunti.

Daoist Zhunti was startled and quickly pointed a finger. The Demon Subduing Pestle flew out and blocked the Qingping Sword.

The two spiritual treasures clashed in the sky with a crackling sound, fighting fiercely.

"Hmph!"

The Tongtian Cult Master's expression sank. He flipped his hand, revealing a divine lamp. Black and white flames intertwined on the lamp.

"Yin-Yang Two Forms Lamp?"

Daoist Zhunti recognized the divine lamp and exclaimed.

"Go!"

The Tongtian Cult Master gave a light shout and blew on the divine lamp.

The lamp flames roared out, growing larger against the wind. In a moment, they transformed into two fire dragons that surged wildly towards Daoist Zhunti.
