Lin Changqing froze, his expression shifting from confusion to instant delight.
This was it—the golden finger he had waited a million years for!
Having crossed over, it had finally awakened!!
But this golden finger demanded he give away a divine treasure like the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.
Lin Changqing hesitated, but only for a moment before making his decision.
Even if he used the elixir to break through now, what could he really achieve?
Only the golden finger was the key to turning his fate around in the Primordial World!
The humiliations he had suffered today—and in the past, from his master and sect—he would repay a hundredfold in the future!!
Lin Changqing raised his head to look at Tongtian, his gaze growing resolute.
And at that moment, sensing his disciple's eyes, Tongtian felt a slight stir in his heart.
This disciple of his, who had always remained unruffled by praise or disgrace, seemed to have changed—there was now a sharp edge to him!
"Master, I am unworthy of this elixir. My talent is dull, but I still harbor great ambitions!"
"If I rely on this pill to break through to Golden Immortal, what then?"
"I wish to give this Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir to Junior Sister Yunxiao!!"
Lin Changqing spoke without hesitation, and instantly, everyone was stunned.
This was a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!
Its divine properties were no less remarkable than those of a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root!
Such a divine object, bestowed upon you, was a tremendous fortune.
But you refused it! And you wanted to give it away!
At this moment, not only was Tongtian stunned, but Yuanshi's expression shifted slightly as he looked at Lin Changqing.
The Twelve Golden Immortals glared at Lin Changqing with fury.
The divine pill they coveted but could not obtain was being rejected by Lin Changqing—didn't that make them look even more pathetic!
This Lin Changqing, an ant of a man, was so ungrateful—he brought shame to the Three Pure Ones' Mystic Gate!
Meanwhile, Yunxiao, standing behind Tongtian, looked at Lin Changqing with deep emotion.
The Senior Disciple Brother must think that even if he took the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, his achievements would be limited, so he was giving this chance to her.
But this was the only opportunity for the Senior Disciple Brother to break through!
"Senior Disciple Brother, I cannot accept such a treasure."
"If I take it, how could I ever hold my head up in the sect in the future?"
Yunxiao said, her eyes reddening as she shook her head.
The unity of the disciples of the Sect of the Jade Pool was evident.
But at this moment, Lin Changqing slowly smiled.
"Junior Sister, I do not wish to break through with this pill. If you take it, you will be helping me."
Lin Changqing spoke, his gaze fixed firmly on Tongtian.
Tongtian looked at his disciple with a complex expression, thinking the same as Yunxiao.
But after a moment, Tongtian burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Worthy of being This Seat's disciple—such ambition!"
"However, This Seat never takes back what he gives. The Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir is yours. What you do with it is your own affair!"
With a laugh, Tongtian let the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir float slowly into Lin Changqing's hand.
Yuanshi also looked at Lin Changqing with a complicated expression.
At this moment, he saw his nephew in a new light.
With such a character, if his foundation were stronger, his future achievements would be boundless.
What a pity...
Yuanshi shook his head regretfully as he looked at Lin Changqing.
But he could afford to feel regret only because Lin Changqing posed no threat to the Sect of Elucidation. If he had been a threat, Yuanshi's expression would have been very different.
Not just Yuanshi—the Twelve Golden Immortals now looked at Lin Changqing with fawning eyes.
This was a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!
Just now, Uncle-Master Tongtian had said Lin Changqing could do as he pleased with it.
If he could give it to Yunxiao, he could give it to them too—who said he couldn't?
Even if they had mocked him before, what if Lin Changqing's mind suddenly changed?
"Haha! Congratulations, Senior Brother Changqing, on obtaining such a treasure!"
"Senior Disciple Brother Changqing, my Flying Cloud Cave is right on that peak—when will you come over for a visit?"
"Hey! My Golden Light Cave is closer—if you're visiting anyone, it should be me!"
"Senior Disciple Brother Changqing..."
At this moment, each of the Twelve Golden Immortals was smiling ingratiatingly at Lin Changqing, hoping he would gift them the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.
But the humiliation from before was etched into their bones; even if they acted cordial now, it was only because their strength fell short.
Gift them the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir?
Dream on!
"Junior Disciple Sister Yunxiao, I'll give this Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir to you."
Lin Changqing didn't spare the Twelve Golden Immortals a single glance as he handed the elixir toward Yunxiao.
The Twelve Golden Immortals' faces immediately twisted with anger as they glared at Lin Changqing.
A mere Mystic Immortal! An acquired ant! How ungrateful!
If this weren't Kunlun Mountain, if you weren't the nominal Senior Disciple Brother!!
Lin Changqing pretended not to see the Twelve Golden Immortals' fury and simply smiled at Yunxiao.
Yunxiao, moved to tears, quickly shook her head.
"Senior Brother, this treasure is crucial to your breakthrough—Yunxiao absolutely cannot accept it!"
"I told you, you taking the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir is the best help you can give me."
"If you don't take it, I'll give it to someone else!"
As Lin Changqing spoke, the Twelve Golden Immortals perked up excitedly. Someone else? The someone else here meant them, didn't it!
How could Yunxiao let those who had humiliated her senior brother gain such a prize? She looked at Lin Changqing and reluctantly nodded.
She'd just keep it for him, she told herself. If he couldn't break through later, he could still use it.
As Yunxiao accepted the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, Yuanshi slowly shook his head and headed toward the Sect of Elucidation.
The Twelve Golden Immortals seethed with rage, glaring at Lin Changqing as if he had stolen their own Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!
Inside the Sect of Interception Immortal Palace, Tongtian watched Lin Changqing with a complicated expression.
Only Lin Changqing slowly closed his eyes, waiting for a voice to appear.
[Ding!]
[Successfully gifted Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. Hundredfold reward returned: ten billion Merit.]
The voice was devoid of joy or sorrow, but Lin Changqing couldn't maintain that calm under its weight.
A surge of wild elation spread across his face.
Yet no one saw Lin Changqing's expression, because at that moment, he was already shrouded in countless celestial phenomena!
Above the Nine Heavens, layers of auspicious clouds piled up, countless golden lights flickering endlessly.
Golden auspicious clouds filled the sky, Crimson Clouds stretched for ten thousand miles, and countless golden lotuses bloomed from the void, lining up like a river that enveloped the entire Kunlun Mountain.
"This!!!"
Even the sages, for all their vast experience, stared at the sky in shock.
Such a celestial phenomenon rivaled attaining sainthood!
For this phenomenon to occur on Kunlun Mountain, could it be...
Tongtian looked down, his eyes brimming with surprise and joy.
Sages were supposed to be beyond joy and sorrow, but that depended on the situation. Right now, even a sage couldn't stay calm!!
Because from within the layers of auspicious clouds, a golden pillar of light, dense and tangible, crashed down toward the ground.
Like a Milky Way falling to earth, a golden pillar dozens of meters in diameter poured down toward Lin Changqing's location. The golden auspicious clouds across the entire sky rapidly contracted, then merged into the pillar of light.
All that golden radiance was the Power of Merit!!
This Power of Merit exceeded everything Tongtian himself possessed!
Everyone knew what that meant.
The current Six Sages had all attained sainthood through merit!
In other words, the Power of Merit descending upon Lin Changqing was enough to make someone a saint on the spot!!
This was the most terrifying treasure in all the Primordial World!
And this vast, ocean-like Power of Merit—enough to leave even a sage like Tongtian speechless with shock—was descending upon his own disciple.
"Hahaha!! Changqing, you've truly stunned even your master!"
Tongtian couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Such an immense amount of Power of Merit was rarely seen in the world.
And all of it belonged to his own disciple—how could that not be exhilarating?
