This guy...
He had spent three more years comprehending the Great Dao of Sainthood than the Three Pure Ones.
By all rights, Hongjun should have favored him as a disciple.
Yet Hongjun hadn't bestowed a single treasure upon him.
Even I, though I'm Wu Clan and not favored by Teacher Hongjun,
was still given a Human Book by Hongjun.
"Daoist Chen... Fate is hard to fathom. Though you didn't receive a treasure today, how can you know you won't find all sorts of Lingbao in the Primordial Wilderness?"
Seeing Li Xuan sitting motionless like a statue,
Zhen Yuanzi thought for a moment.
Then he carefully chose his words and tried to console him.
Li Xuan sat there in a daze, not hearing a word Zhen Yuanzi said.
He muttered, "Isn't anyone going to do anything...? Is there no law...? Is there no justice...?"
"Ah, Daoist friend, you needn't take it so hard... How about I give you this treasure?"
Seeing that Li Xuan seemed so rattled he was losing his mind,
Hong Yun sighed.
He raised a hand and took out one of the Innate Spiritual Treasures he had just received.
He made as if to hand it to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan glanced at the White Jade Ring, and his heart sank even further.
Why...? Why did I get nothing at all...?
There was nothing for it. Li Xuan could only swallow his anger.
He shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, Daoist brother. I'm fine now."
As he spoke, he raised a hand and pushed the White Jade Ring back.
He stood up, intending to leave.
But he had only just turned around
when he suddenly froze in place!
Wait, that wasn't right!
There was still an incredibly awesome treasure—or rather, the beginnings of one.
Wasn't it
