Yuanshi Tianzun: I Have a Path in Chan Sect, Zhao Gongming: Young Master, Egg Kong Wants to See You

Li Er suddenly composed himself, pulled up his fishing rod, and said seriously, "Big Brother Pan, Second Brother Pan, this isn't a small matter. We'll have to wait for Third Brother Pan to return before we can discuss it.

If he doesn't truly love this woman, then he should end everything as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary entanglements.

But if he does love her, then all the so-called troubles will cease to exist."

The Black Dog, hearing this, curiously asked, "Little Master, aren't you the one who doesn't believe in love?

You always say that love is nonexistent, that people who pursue love are fools, and that it will only slow down our sword-drawing speed."

Li Er reached out and stroked the Black Dog's head, saying softly, "Love is beautiful.

Everyone has the right to pursue beauty. Not believing in love doesn't stop me from yearning for it.

Who wouldn't want to try something beautiful that they've only heard about but never seen?

It's like the Great Dao; we all strive to pursue it with all our might, undeterred by its elusiveness or the long journey ahead.

We must be firm in what we seek deep down, as the saying goes: 'If I hear of the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening!'"

The Grand Pure Saint, upon hearing this, revealed a thoughtful expression, slowly closed his eyes, and began to contemplate Li Er's words, combining them with his past experiences.

Yuanshi Tianzun gently exhaled, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and a determined expression of pursuing the Great Dao appeared on his face. The more he pursued the Great Dao in the past, the more distant it seemed.

He had even considered giving up. Moreover, after becoming a saint, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's saintly position, he had indeed seen many, many things, everything seemingly within easy reach.

Gradually, it had become a habit, feeling that these things could be easily obtained, and he no longer took them to heart.

But today, hearing Li Er's words, when he looked at those things of the past, there seemed to be a very thin barrier.

Everything he saw was only granted to him by the saintly position, not a true understanding of the laws that he could truly obtain.

Especially Li Er's saying, "If I hear of the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"

It was like the sound of the Great Dao striking his heart, igniting his desire to pursue the Great Dao.

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Li Er," Yuanshi Tianzun said earnestly, his tone filled with respect.

Li Er waved his hand, as if accustomed to it, and began to cast his line again, focusing on fishing.

For over a hundred years, these two elder brothers of his would either contemplate by the side or be filled with emotion whenever he said something casually.

He didn't understand what these people in the Primordial World were doing. He would just say a few words, and they would start cultivating and contemplating. Everyone was a master of imagination.

Could it be that the behaviors, cultures, and thoughts of different worlds could collide and create different sparks?

Especially in a world like the Primordial World, where cultivation was possible, many bold ideas could be realized. As long as one dared to think and act, and didn't die, they would eventually achieve greater gains.

Unfortunately, he didn't know the magic within him. He was one with the Chaos Orb, and ordinary people who observed his behavior and demeanor, if they had high comprehension, would definitely be able to comprehend different things.

And the Grand Pure Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun were both people with high comprehension. Being by Li Er's side, they had time to observe him, and occasionally discovered that he seemed to be in harmony with the Dao. His words could inadvertently resonate with them, allowing their cultivation to increase rapidly.

"But if Third Brother can actually make it work with her, it would be his blessing," the Grand Pure Saint said softly, opening his eyes, his tone filled with emotion.

"Uh, it seems like it would be good, but I guess Third Brother wouldn't want it, otherwise, why would he be running away?" Yuanshi Tianzun said, stunned at first, then helplessly.

At this moment, Li Er said faintly from the side, "Could it be that he was tormented for 200 years and couldn't take it anymore, so he ran?"

The Black Dog nodded in agreement, saying, "Little Master, why don't you research some strengthening pills for the Great Master to replenish himself—"

"That—the materials are running low.

When he comes back later, I'll just give him a bath with the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning," Li Er said somewhat awkwardly, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes.

Recently, he had been researching and developing new pills, adding the life force contained within the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, as well as mobilizing the mysterious power of the Golden Core within his body to refine the pills, upgrading his Hunyuan Qi pills.

After all, his Golden Core was now the size of a walnut, so he didn't have to worry about exhausting his mana when mobilizing it.

Otherwise, the top-tier pills now were too weak for Quasi-Sages like Big Brother Pan and Second Brother Pan, and had no effect on them at all.

If he didn't take advantage of the abundance of materials in the Primordial World now to research good pills, refine them well, and store them well as strategic resources for the future development of Daoism, wouldn't it be even more difficult to refine pills when the environment deteriorated and there were no such good resources in the future?

That's how people should be; they shouldn't think that they will continue to earn money in the future. They should seize the present, lay a solid foundation, and not be afraid of any changes in the future.

"The materials are used up again? Then I'll go to the Jie Sect to exchange for some," the Grand Pure Saint asked curiously, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Although he knew that Li Er had been doing research, the resources he had brought back last time were quite a lot, and they were all used up so quickly.

He knew that the Demon Race and the Jie Sect were trading, after all, his good corpse, Supreme Old Lord, was an alchemy elder in the Jie Sect, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Lingbao Tianzun.

Li Er shook his head and said, "That won't do. If we frequently exchange resources with the Jie Sect, I'm afraid Tongtian Saint will notice the problem, and it will be difficult to handle then.

If we can develop our own trading market, or develop a place for trading, then we can exchange resources for pills, talismans, array disks, and magic weapons, and we won't have to worry about this problem.

We can also form our own power through this trading market, and grasp information from all aspects at the first time.

However, this trading market must be suppressed by a strong force, otherwise, it won't be good if people are forced to buy and sell."

Li Er looked at the Grand Pure Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun, seemingly asking how strong you two are, and whether you can suppress the situation.

Li Er also remembered at this time that there didn't seem to be such a large-scale trading market in the Primordial World. It seemed that cultivators of all levels obtained magic weapons and pills through robbery or finding them.

If their Daoism could open up such a trading market, the benefits behind it would be absolutely amazing.

"What is the use of this trading market?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked seriously, the light of wisdom flashing in his eyes. From these few words, he could deduce that this trading market was definitely not simple.

Moreover, after more than a hundred years of contact, he understood that the Jie Sect's rules and plans were all from Li Er.

Thinking about the merits gained by his Jie Sect's Mind-Cultivation Road, Rules Tablet, and Heaven's Pride Ranking, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't envious.

Just look at Lingbao Tianzun; he's already condensed over a dozen Merit Golden Bodies.

Once this trading market is successful, the merit gained will definitely be—

Li Er didn't even think about it and directly listed all the benefits the trading market would bring.

After all, opening the first trading market in the Primordial World would definitely earn merit. However, if you don't have the strength to back it up, doing this would definitely get you killed.

Yuanshi Tianzun, who was listening from the side, had increasingly bright eyes. He directly reached out and held down his eldest brother, Grand Pure Saint.

He said seriously to Li Er, "Li Er, I actually have a path in the Chan Sect. How about I handle this matter?"

Grand Pure Saint rolled his eyes from the side. He couldn't stand this second brother. If their third brother, Tongtian, knew he was snatching the opportunity from his Jie Sect, who knows if they would fight?

Li Er shuddered when he heard this. He remembered a line from the Journey to the West novel from his previous life: I have a path in the West—after it's done—

"Third Brother Pan, is this path stable?"

"It's definitely stable. I passed our Daoist introductory course. The safety factor is definitely 99.9%," Yuanshi Tianzun said earnestly, patting his chest, his eyes full of confidence.

Li Er silently stroked his chin, thinking. To be honest, if he could pull in the Chan Sect as a backer, it would indeed be a good choice.

After all, Yuanshi Tianzun's protective nature was quite reliable; he didn't care about bullying the weak at all.

"To what extent can you do it?" Li Er asked seriously, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

This trading market was no joke. If it was the first in the Primordial World, then the future profits would definitely make even the Saints jealous. If he couldn't get Yuanshi Tianzun to take action, this business couldn't be done; he'd rather let it rot.

Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly composed himself, his expression incomparably serious. "Directly to the level of a Saint."

There was no other way. The more he interacted with Li Er, the more he understood this guy's vigilance. The more you joked around about this matter, the less likely he would agree. It was better to be serious.

If he hadn't already discussed the issue of Li Er with his third brother, he would have liked to reveal his identity as a Saint.

Since his third brother, Tongtian, intentionally concealed it from Li Er, there must be his reasons. He couldn't break through this relationship.

If Li Er knew they were Saints, he probably wouldn't really open his heart and treat them as friends. The relationship between them would instead form a barrier.

You should know that after they became Saints, the only ones they could talk to were their own brothers. It was difficult to say a heartfelt word to anyone else.

Because the other party feared their identities, the words they spoke were already mixed with falsehood.

Not to mention scenes like today's fishing competition.

"Alright, Yuanshi Tianzun is quite protective, so finding him shouldn't be wrong."

Yuanshi Tianzun: …

Pfft—

"Sorry, I remembered that I recently received a task from the Jie Sect to refine pills," Grand Pure Saint said apologetically, the corners of his mouth unable to suppress a smile.

He didn't expect that Li Er's words would directly point out his second brother's nature; he was indeed a bit protective.

"Eldest Brother! What pill refining task? Tell us so we can all laugh," Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly, a flash of anger in his eyes. His eldest brother actually dared to laugh at him.

Didn't he hear that Li Er was praising him?

"Someone wants to customize Passion Pills, as long as the effect of passion—the stronger the effect, the better—said it's for scheming."

Yuanshi Tianzun: …

"What a talent!" Li Er exclaimed.

At this moment, the Black Dog, who had been bowing his head all along, voiced his question.

"Young Master, how will the profits from this trading market be divided? If we get too little, will the Great Master go and rob the trading market staff?"

Li Er: …

Yuanshi Tianzun: …

Grand Pure Saint suppressed his laughter, put away his fishing rod, and drew a spatial passage, saying faintly, "I'll go take on the task from the Jie Sect. You guys plan this matter. I can be responsible for refining the pills when the time comes."

"Or, should we wait for the Great Master to come back before we talk?"

"We can't wait at all. I'm going to get things done and pave the way for our Daoism. It's time for me to contribute to our Daoism.

Besides, you'll know how solid my path is when the time comes," Yuanshi Tianzun said seriously, his eyes looking at the Black Dog, as if he would stew this dog if it dared to open its mouth again.

"Then, Third Brother Pan, do what you can and prioritize stability," Li Er said seriously, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He sighed inwardly, This is the responsibility that their Daoist elders should have. However, he also understood why Third Brother Pan wanted to get things done so badly.

After all, Eldest Brother Pan had a status in the Jie Sect, and he could use their pills to exchange for resources to facilitate the development of their Daoism.

And Third Brother Pan had made no contribution so far.

"Okay. I'll handle it."

Yuanshi Tianzun hurriedly opened the void passage and went straight in.

A moment later, The Black Dog slowly stood up, a hint of worry on his face, and said, "Young Master, isn't this matter a bit too hasty?"

After his deduction, this trading market would definitely be an indispensable existence in the Primordial World in the future, and the profits generated would definitely make even the Saints jealous.

Their Great Master was a core disciple of the Jie Sect. If this matter was exposed in the future, then the Tongtian Sect Master would definitely not let them off.

With such a good idea, why didn't you report it?

Moreover, knowing the young master as he does, doing something like this will definitely create some karma, which won't be a good thing for him in the future.

He definitely wouldn't have done something like this before; it doesn't fit his cautious personality.

Li Er sighed with emotion, reached out and rubbed Black Dog's head, explaining, "If Jie Sect continues to develop like this, it will definitely become a dominant force in the future. There's no doubt about that.

"But a big tree attracts the wind, which will bring harm. When that time comes, Tongtian might not be able to handle it alone.

"So, if our Jie Sect swallows this trading market, it won't be icing on the cake, but adding fuel to the fire.

"Little Black, sometimes some benefits don't bring you advantages, but disasters. People have to know how to choose.

"If we can get on the Chan Sect's good side, we can have another way out in the future, which fits our development plan.

"Yuanshi Tianzun's protective nature is a good thing for us.

"Besides, Third Brother Pan is getting married, and we have to find him some dowry. Didn't you hear that his future wife has a background as an Innate Sacred Being?"

Black Dog nodded to show he understood, then asked about his concerns.

"What if things are exposed in the future?"

"Just don't let it be exposed, or increase our own strength and the importance of ourselves," Li Er said seriously, a flash of confidence in his eyes.

He has recently gained a lot of insights into formations, and can initially construct spatial laws and comprehend certain temporal laws.

At least, facing top Quasi-Sages like Big Brother Pan and Second Brother Pan, he already poses a certain threat.

Anyway, time is immeasurable in the Primordial World, so he has plenty of time to perfect some of his cultivation ideas. Now, he has two more big brothers to help him with cultivation problems.

When the era comes when Saints can't come out, that will be the glorious era of their Daoism.

Of course, he has to hurry up and break through to the Golden Core Stage.

After that, Li Er was no longer in the mood for fishing, so he went straight back to the secret realm small world to refine some tonifying pills for Third Brother Pan.

When Li Er led Black Dog into the secret realm small world, he saw Fat Zhao, Fat Li, Xiao Wu, and Old Wu Liu surrounding Egg Kong. Something extraordinary seemed to have happened.

"What's going on?" Li Er asked curiously, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Zhao Gongming hurriedly said, "Young Master, come quickly! Egg Kong's beak has broken through the shell! It looks like he's about to come out—

"But he doesn't seem to have the strength to come out. Did he make the shell too hard?!"
