Supreme Pure Laozi's gaze flickered.
Naturally, he had not put away this spiritual treasure in order to claim it for himself.
After Zhou Qingqing said that the Gourd Vine and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil were Nuwa's spiritual treasures, he had already thought of what he should do next.
Seeing that Nuwa's gaze still lingered on the Gourd Vine and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil,
Supreme Pure Laozi wore a warm smile.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, these Gourd Vine and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil contain the aura of the Dao of Creation. I see that you cultivate the Dao of Creation, so these two spiritual treasures are perfectly suited to you."
Huh?
So these two spiritual treasures were Grand Master's gifts for Nuwa?
Grand Master had not even become a saint yet, but he already had the mindset of a saint who gave away spiritual treasures?
The moment Zhou Qingqing heard Supreme Pure Laozi offer up treasures, astonishment surged within her.
Black lines appeared across Supreme Pure Laozi's forehead.
Wasn't this the same situation as at Purple Cloud Palace, when she had wanted him to help Nuwa?
Zhou Qingqing actually dared to portray her Grand Master that way.
He could not allow Zhou Qingqing to keep entertaining such thoughts.
"Of course, I cannot give you these spiritual treasures for nothing. Didn't you obtain that Purple-Cyan Gourd earlier, Fellow Daoist? I have a disciple named Qingqing, and since your gourd also happens to be cyan, I thought to exchange these spiritual treasures for it."
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, what do you think?"
"The Gourd Vine and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil in my possession will definitely be more important to your future Dao path than the Purple-Cyan Gourd."
What!
So Grand Master wanted to trade spiritual treasures for me too?
Well done.
But Master's actions should not merely be for the sake of trading for that Demon-Summoning Gourd.
Zhou Qingqing understood everything clearly.
She had only just received a Purple-Black Gourd.
That alone was already Master's gift.
Supreme Pure Laozi would never ask Nuwa for the Purple-Cyan Gourd again just because of her.
The part about it being cyan was absolutely just an excuse.
Could it be that Grand Master had already calculated, in the unseen, that this gourd would affect the future?
That had to be it.
Grand Master's calculations left nothing out. His intervention to help Lady Nuwa at Purple Cloud Palace must have been because he had sensed a change in the greater tide of fate.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain his current motives.
Too terrifying, Grand Master. I am convinced by your deductions...
Hearing his disciple's admiration,
Jade Pure Yuanshi and Upper Pure Tongtian both drew sharp breaths inward.
Had their eldest brother Supreme Pure Laozi's image become this after just a few actions?
They dearly wished to tell Zhou Qingqing that Supreme Pure Laozi was not nearly so infallible in his calculations. All of this had been an act.
But beneath their eldest brother's threatening gaze,
they still could not bring themselves to do something so utterly heartless.
Still, this infallible Grand Master was truly rather amusing.
Nuwa's brows relaxed, and she smiled.
Then she immediately took out the Purple-Cyan Gourd.
"So Daoist Brother has already taken a disciple. Then let this Purple-Cyan Gourd count as my meeting gift for her. These spiritual treasures indeed possess the power of creation, but their value far exceeds that of my gourd. Nuwa would not dare accept them."
Nuwa smilingly handed over the Purple-Cyan Gourd, yet rather than keeping the Gourd Vine and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, she refused Supreme Pure Laozi's proposed exchange.
Lady Nuwa truly possessed the heart of a saint. If it were any other cultivator, wouldn't they have accepted them immediately?
A being with a true saintly heart of creation should not be vilified like that in the future.
Supreme Pure Laozi did not know what Zhou Qingqing meant by Nuwa being vilified.
But he did know that Zhou Qingqing genuinely considered the Nuwa before them someone worthy of respect.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you jest."
"These two spiritual treasures truly will benefit your future Great Dao. Otherwise, I would not have offered them in exchange."
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you may use the Eight Trigrams to deduce the heavenly secrets. You should be able to infer some clues."
Grand Master really had deduced something. I was right!
After hearing Supreme Pure Laozi's words, Zhou Qingqing became even more certain that he truly had deduced something.
To perceive some clues while merely at the peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, Zhou Qingqing could only marvel at her Master's peerless calculations.
Hearing Supreme Pure Laozi's suggestion, Fuxi summoned the Innate Eight Trigrams and began his deductions.
Yet within his deductions, he could not derive any information at all. He could only shake his head with a bitter smile.
"Supreme Pure Daoist Brother's deductions far surpass Fuxi's. Fuxi cannot deduce anything whatsoever."
As if he could deduce anything.
Supreme Pure Laozi had long foreseen Fuxi's result.
He had not deduced anything at all. He had merely made it up based on his disciple's words.
"Since Daoist Brother says these spiritual treasures will benefit my younger sister, then I shall shamelessly accept them on her behalf. I will repay this favor in the future."
Fuxi had deduced nothing.
But since Supreme Pure Laozi, whose cultivation was higher, said they would benefit his sister's Great Dao, he naturally could not allow her to give up these spiritual treasures.
Seeing Fuxi state his position,
Supreme Pure Laozi smiled.
The reason he had involved Fuxi was precisely to achieve this effect.
Now, as expected, Fuxi was fiercely protective of his sister and accepted the spiritual treasures.
Seeing her brother step forward to accept the spiritual treasures for her, Nuwa could only agree.
Everything her brother did was for her sake. If she insisted on refusing, it would be far too disrespectful toward both her brother and Supreme Pure Daoist Friend.
Grand Master truly handled everything without a single leak. Admirable, admirable.
Zhou Qingqing had witnessed Supreme Pure Laozi's entire course of action, and now she could only express her admiration inwardly.
Supreme Pure Laozi let out a soft breath.
To maintain his unfathomable image and avoid exposing himself, he had truly worried himself sick.
Fortunately, Nuwa had now fully accepted the spiritual treasures, finally fulfilling all his painstaking efforts.
At this point, he did not want to remain on Mount Buzhou for even one more moment.
"Now that each of us has obtained our spiritual treasures, why not return to our respective Dao grounds and refine them properly?"
Seeing that the Three Pure Ones had no intention of going to Mount Fengqi to discuss the Dao,
Fuxi and Nuwa naturally could only agree to Supreme Pure Laozi's proposal.
After arranging to discuss the Dao another day,
the group parted ways.
And after they had fully separated,
another gourd appeared within Zhou Qingqing's Lotus Space.
It was precisely the Purple-Cyan Gourd Nuwa had brought out.
She had actually given her this Demon-Summoning Gourd. Zhou Qingqing had never expected it.
On this trip to Mount Buzhou, she had merely helped block the Chaos Bell once, yet she had obtained two gourds.
"Thank you, Grand Master."
Zhou Qingqing sent Supreme Pure Laozi a sweet voice transmission of thanks.
The Three Pure Ones nodded in gratification, but in the next moment, Zhou Qingqing's inner voice rang out.
Three Masters, two gourds. Which Master should I count them under? It's hard to divide them, so hard to divide them.
The Three Pure Ones: ...
This girl was completely unsatisfied. She clearly wanted them to make it three spiritual treasures. What a clever little scheme.
