"Greetings, Grandmaster, Dao Venerable!"
Xuanxiao looked at them and smiled with a nod.
He had sensed Shen Ni's whereabouts long ago. He simply had not expected Shen Ni's true plan and had only been able to sense that he was gathering Savage Qi and the blood of Fierce Beasts.
To avoid alerting him, Xuanxiao had sent Xuandu and the others on this trip.
In truth, if Xuanxiao had wanted to, he could have deduced the whole story.
But most of the time, Xuanxiao chose not to. For someone who was nearly all-knowing and all-powerful, uncertainty was the most captivating pleasure of all.
"Grandmaster, Dao Venerable, we made a mess of things." Everyone looked at Xuanxiao in shame.
Xuanxiao shook his head. "As I said, this wasn't your fault. Though you didn't complete the hunting task I gave you, you drew out Shen Ni and Reincarnation Beast Emperor. That counts for something. These Great Dao Pills are yours."
With a wave of his hand, Xuanxiao placed a bottle of pills before each of them.
"I refined these Great Dao Pills from the Chaos Spirit Fruit known as the Great Dao Fruit, along with a great many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. They can help you comprehend the laws of the Great Dao and will benefit your cultivation considerably."
Everyone brightened at his words.
The Great Dao Pills would do far more for them than Xuanxiao had made it sound.
With one of these pills, a cultivator at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm would have at least a twenty percent greater chance of breaking through to Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.
They were just as valuable to Primordial Origin Golden Immortals like Xuandu.
Only upon reaching Primordial Origin Golden Immortal did a cultivator truly set foot on their own path.
