In Shangqing Palace

Bai Jin turned and flew down, landing in front of Shi Ji.

Shi Ji struggled to sit up and weakly called out, "Senior Brother~"

Bai Jin helped her up and asked with concern, "Junior Sister Shi Ji, how are you feeling now?"

Shi Ji forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. It's just a flesh wound, it won't damage my Primordial Spirit. I'll recover soon."

Bai Jin looked at the woman beside him and said, "Junior Sister Gu Niang, please trouble yourself to escort Shi Ji back to rest."

A young girl with a bun tied on her head nodded repeatedly and replied, "Yes! Senior Brother." With a lift of her hands, a surge of immortal spiritual energy emanated, lifting Shi Ji and carrying her away.

Shi Ji turned to look at Bai Jin, forcing a smile, "Senior Brother, what you said just now was really good."

Bai Jin grinned proudly, So, you were shocked by your Senior Brother, weren't you!

"...Though the fighting style afterwards was a bit sneaky."

Bai Jin's smile froze on his face.

Shi Ji chuckled and urged Junior Sister Gu Niang to hurry away.

Bai Jin said speechlessly, "You've gotten bold! Daring to tease your Senior Brother."

Holy Mother Wudang floated down beside Bai Jin and said, "You seemed quite angry just now?"

Bai Jin replied, "He injured my Junior Sister. As her Senior Brother, of course I'm angry?"

"Is that so? When Senior Brother was injured, you didn't seem very angry! I felt like you were even a little pleased."

Bai Jin immediately cried out indignantly, "Senior Sister, you're wronging me~

When Senior Brother was injured, my heart was wrung with pain, as if a small knife was cutting into me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lent my supreme treasure to Senior Brother."

Around a distant corner, Daoist Duobao leaned against the mountainside, his gaze towards Bai Jin gradually softening. Perhaps I should understand my Junior Brother more. He has it tough too.

A large rock on the mountainside trembled slightly and suddenly smashed down, crushing Daoist Duobao with a loud boom.

Bai Jin and Holy Mother Wudang immediately turned to look at the mountain rock that had fallen onto the path.

Holy Mother Wudang asked doubtfully, "How could there be falling rocks on Mount Kunlun?"

"Isn't it strange for there to be falling rocks on a mountain?"

Holy Mother Wudang rolled her eyes, "This is Mount Kunlun."

Bai Jin suddenly exclaimed, "Right! Where's Senior Brother? Senior Brother still hasn't returned my Treasure Dropping Coin! Where is Senior Brother now?"

Holy Mother Wudang immediately urged, "Let's go, Senior Sister will accompany you to find him."

The two of them floated towards the mountain.

A moment later, the large rock that had fallen was heaved away with a rumble. Daoist Duobao flew out with a livid face. Damn it, how could a mere falling rock hit me? Someone must be plotting against me! Who is it?!

Daoist Duobao suspiciously scanned his surroundings, cast a stealth spell on himself, and cautiously made his way up the mountain. Along the way, he encountered one disaster after another, both natural and man-made, leaving Daoist Duobao extremely disheveled.

After persevering for half a day, Daoist Duobao could no longer hold on. His injuries had not only failed to improve but had worsened considerably. He hurried towards Shangqing Palace.

Dong~ Daoist Duobao stumbled directly into Shangqing Palace, collapsing before a prayer mat, his face covered in dust. He kowtowed mournfully and said, "Disciple greets Master, please uphold justice for your disciple! Disciple has been ambushed."

Tongtian spoke, "Bai Jin, come in!"

A beam of clear light came from afar, transforming into Bai Jin's figure before Shangqing Palace. He was spotless, handsome and elegant, forming a stark contrast with the miserable Daoist Duobao.

Bai Jin strode into the main hall, walked to a prayer mat, knelt down, and kowtowed, "Disciple greets Master."

He looked up with a playful smile, "Master, what do you need me for?"

Tongtian said irritably, "You know why I'm looking for you! Look at your Senior Brother."

Bai Jin turned and glanced over, immediately startled, and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother, what happened to you?"

Daoist Duobao raised his head and said calmly, "It's nothing. I just suffered a few ambushes from despicable people, but I dealt with them all casually."

Bai Jin's mouth twitched. Senior Brother is quite the actor!

From the seat of honor, Tongtian's voice rang out, "Duobao, take out the magic treasure your Junior Brother gave you."

Duobao extended his hand, and a golden coin, round on the outside and square on the inside, with wings on the sides, appeared in his palm. He respectfully said, "Master, this is the magic treasure Junior Brother gave me. I used this treasure to capture seven flying daggers, but after the dagger box self-destructed, the seven flying daggers also returned to heaven and earth as their origin.

Here, I must thank my Junior Brother for gifting this treasure to me."

Bai Jin immediately turned and glared at Duobao, saying unpleasantly, "Senior Brother, I didn't give it to you, I lent it to you."

Duobao's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Senior Brother thanks you."

"I..." Bai Jin laughed in anger, "Senior Brother, have some shame, won't you? If you act like this, who will dare to help you in the future?!"

Duobao didn't even look at Bai Jin. It's mine once it's in my hands anyway. If my Junior Brother uses this treasure against me in the future, I won't have enough treasures to counter it.

Bai Jin looked up at Tongtian and said aggrievedly, "Master, look at Senior Brother. I helped him defeat his opponent, but in the end, Senior Brother wants to hoard my treasure. Is this how a Senior Brother should act?"

Tongtian reached out and beckoned. The Treasure Dropping Coin in Duobao's hand immediately flew out and landed in Tongtian's hand.

Tongtian played with the Treasure Dropping Coin in his hand and said, "Use it a few more times, and you'll be close to perishing."

Duobao trembled all over. A flash of lightning struck his mind. Having the fortune to be Tongtian's disciple, he was not inherently foolish. It was just that his damaged luck had temporarily clouded his Dao heart. Now, with Tongtian's words as a reminder, scenes flashed through his mind: the injury during healing aggravating his condition, the falling rocks on the road crushing him into dust, the mid-air accident causing him to fall, the sudden explosion of the treasure box leading to his severe injuries.

The very first unlucky event was the sudden explosion of the treasure box. What had he done before that? He had used this treasure to capture seven flying daggers!

Duobao suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Jin, all the pent-up frustration from the past half-day surging into his heart. He exclaimed in shock and anger, "Bai Jin, you betrayed me?"

He laughed, furious, and said, "I can't believe I considered you a good brother before. You actually used underhanded tactics to harm me."

Bai Jin said displeasedly, "Senior Brother, I was helping you. If I hadn't given you the Treasure Dropping Coin, you'd still be getting stabbed by flying daggers! Besides, who covets their brother's magic treasures?!"

"You..."

Tongtian said sternly, "Duobao, your luck is in turmoil. Has your Dao heart also become chaotic?" His stern voice resounded in Duobao's heart like thunderous heavenly music.

Duobao took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said, "This disciple knows his mistake!"

Within Tongtian's sight, the two below... Bai Jin's luck was like a three-colored lotus flower, magnificent and sheltering, a manifestation of the blessings from the Three Pure Ones. Duobao's luck, which was originally like a divine wheel, was now less than half, and what remained was chaotic and wandering aimlessly. This had caused his Dao heart to be clouded, making him seem abandoned by heaven and earth.

Tongtian flicked his fingers in the air, and Duobao's chaotic luck instantly condensed, forming a divine wheel about half a meter in size, suspended behind Duobao's head.

Duobao felt his mind clear, his entire body at ease, and the sense of impending danger vanished. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."
