The Spirit Treasure is Obtained, Xuan Yuan and the White Tiger Return to Immortal Island!

Hongjun Ancestor saw that there was hope and quickly stepped forward. "You two fellow Daoists, just say the word. If this old Daoist can do it, I will comply!"

"Since you show such sincerity, we'll take you up on that!"

With that, the three of them ceased their attacks.

"Fellow Daoist, speak freely. This old Daoist will certainly see it done!"

White Tiger pondered for a long while, then eyed Hongjun slyly. "I want one Innate Treasure, twenty Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, fifty High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, one hundred Middle Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and five hundred Low Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!"

Xuan Yuan nearly choked holding back his laughter. This White Tiger's appetite was far too big!

Hongjun Ancestor was instantly alarmed. "Fellow Daoist, this isn't asking for spiritual treasures—this is asking for this old Daoist's life!"

White Tiger was taken aback.

He turned to look at Xuan Yuan. "Big Senior Brother, what did that old Daoist say?"

"Is he telling me to take his life?"

"That is indeed what he said."

"Big Senior Brother, I've never heard such a request before. Someone actually offers up their own life and tells another to take it. Have you?"

"Neither have I."

The two exchanged a glance. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's move!"

As they spoke, they struck at Hongjun simultaneously.

Hongjun was frantic. "You two fellow Daoists, you misunderstand! This poor Daoist didn't mean it that way!"

"We heard you loud and clear. That's exactly what you said!"

"You... I..."

Hongjun was already too furious to speak.

"Stop! Stop at once! This old Daoist agrees, alright?"

Hearing this, the two halted their attacks.

"How about this, fellow Daoists? One Innate Treasure in exchange for five Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Deal?"

"Deal!"

It wasn't that the Innate Treasure wasn't tempting, but Hongjun's counteroffer had already exceeded their expectations. Best to take what they could get.

Seeing them both agree at once, Hongjun Ancestor was left with a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Those two scoundrels have swindled me again. Infuriating!"

Of course, Hongjun Ancestor only dared to mutter this to himself.

With that, Hongjun reluctantly pulled out treasures from his person and handed them over.

Watching the radiant glow of spiritual light, Hongjun Ancestor's heart bled. These were treasures he had scrounged over countless millennia! Now he was back to square one overnight!

"In that case, we won't stand on ceremony. As they say, from a fight comes friendship. Until we meet again!"

With that, the two packed up their treasures and strode away.

Watching their retreating figures, Hongjun Ancestor ground his teeth in rage.

"Utterly inhuman! Utterly inhuman!"

"Big Senior Brother, we've hit the jackpot this time, hahaha!"

As White Tiger spoke, a simple, honest smile spread across his face.

Yes, White Tiger truly was simple and honest!!

Xuan Yuan gave White Tiger a thumbs-up. "How did you dare ask for so many spiritual treasures in the first place?"

White Tiger grinned foolishly. "I thought he'd haggle!"

Hahaha! The two laughed together.

"Big Senior Brother, let's head back to Three Immortals Island! We've been out so long, I'm starting to miss it."

Xuan Yuan thought for a moment. "Alright. This journey has been quite fruitful. It's a good time to go back and see Master."

With that, the two took off, speeding toward Three Immortals Island.

On Three Immortals Island, Taichu sensed that Xuan Yuan and White Tiger had returned and slowly opened his eyes.

Caifeng was still in seclusion, absorbing Taichu's teachings.

Inside Taichu Palace.

"White Tiger pays respects to Sect Leader! Xuan Yuan greets Master!"

"Rise."

"You two have traveled the Primordial Wilderness. What encounters did you have? Tell me all about it."

"Let us first show Sect Leader our gains!"

Saying this, he and Xuan Yuan dumped all the harvested treasures into the main hall.

In an instant, the entire hall blazed with treasure light, radiant and dazzling.

Even Taichu was stunned: "You two have absurdly incredible luck—did you turn the Primordial Wilderness upside down?"

Xuan Yuan and White Tiger burst into laughter.

We met a kindred spirit.

Then they recounted their travels through the Primordial Wilderness, focusing on the great battle with Hongjun, the two of them chattering away, spittle flying.

Taichu nodded upon hearing this: "That battle has indeed spread the fame of our Dao Protection Sect. Now the living beings on Three Immortals Island grow ever more numerous, so our Dao Protection Sect must naturally perfect itself."

"White Tiger, I intend to establish a Guardian Hall and an Enforcement Hall. I appoint you as the Enforcement Hall Master—how does that sound?"

"Guardian Hall and Enforcement Hall? Sect Leader, I understand the Guardian Hall, but what does the Enforcement Hall do?"

"Now that Three Immortals Island has more and more living beings, and our Dao Protection Sect will soon recruit disciples widely, someone must oversee and supervise them. Your Enforcement Hall will hold the judicial authority of our Dao Protection Sect, governing punishments!"

It must be said, the Enforcement Hall's authority within a sect was no small matter.

After hearing Taichu finish, White Tiger grinned foolishly at him: "I am willing, as the Sect Leader commands!"

Then his face instantly turned sorrowful: "I was originally just a little tiger within the island, fortunate to have the Sect Leader's favor. Now that the Sect Leader entrusts me with such an important post, rest assured, Sect Leader, I will do my utmost!"

"Pfft!"

Xuan Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "You're no little tiger now—you're a fierce tiger!"

"Hahaha!"

"Then the Enforcement Hall is yours. You may freely select talent from within the island. Share some of these spiritual treasures with Xuan Yuan; those you can't use, first...

Oh! This is the Seven-Colored Cloud Dress, a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. It's most fitting for Caifeng!"

Xuan Yuan and White Tiger were baffled.

"Master, who is Caifeng?"

"The disciple I've newly accepted!"

Just as he spoke, Caifeng emerged from the Secret Chamber.

Caifeng looked at Xuan Yuan and White Tiger: "Master, who are these two?"

Taichu pointed at Xuan Yuan: "This is your senior brother, Xuan Yuan. And this is the Enforcement Hall Master, White Tiger."

"Caifeng greets Senior Brother! Greets Hall Master White Tiger!"

"Junior Sister, no need for formalities! Caifeng Immortal, no need for formalities!"

"Junior Sister, I have nothing special to give you. Feel free to pick any of these treasures!"

"Yes, Caifeng Immortal, whichever treasure catches your eye, take your pick!"

Caifeng followed their gaze and was instantly stunned.

Even as a Phoenix Princess who had seen countless treasures, she had never laid eyes on so many Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures at once.

Taichu smiled at Caifeng: "Since your senior brother and Hall Master White Tiger said so, pick whatever you like. Don't stand on ceremony with them!"

After speaking, he handed the "Seven-Colored Cloud Dress" to Caifeng.

"Your cultivation is still too low. This Seven-Colored Cloud Dress is also a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, just gathered by your senior brother and the others. Wear it."

As for what I can give you, he said, spreading his palm wide as a white lotus quietly appeared in his hand.

"Purification White Lotus!"

White Tiger and Xuan Yuan spoke at the same time.

Then he said to the three: "This white lotus has just been cultivated. Though it's only eleven-petaled, it rivals a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Take it."

After finishing, he led the three out of Taichu Palace.

With a wave of his hand, two side halls appeared on either side of the "Dao Protection Sect."

One was the "Guardian Hall," the other the "Enforcement Hall."

Then, with another wave, several palaces rose on the peaks.

They were the "Skill Transmission Pavilion," "Treasure Storage Pavilion," "Merit and Virtue Pavilion," "Alchemy Pavilion," "Treasure Refining Pavilion"...

After doing all this, he brought the three into the Chaos Pearl.
