Lin Changqing froze, his expression shifting from confusion to delight in an instant.
This was the cheat he had waited a million years for!
After crossing into this world, he had finally awakened it!!
But this cheat actually required him to give away a treasure like the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.
Lin Changqing hesitated, but only for a moment before making up his mind.
Even if he used the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir to break through now, what would that accomplish?
Only his cheat could be the key to turning his fortunes around in the Primordial World!
The humiliation he had suffered today and in the past, along with what his master and sect had endured, would one day be repaid a hundredfold!
Lin Changqing looked up at Tongtian, his gaze growing resolute.
At that moment, sensing his disciple's gaze, Tongtian felt a slight stir in his heart.
His usually unflappable disciple seemed to have changed. There was a sharp edge to him now!
"Master, this elixir is too precious for me to accept. My aptitude is dull, but I still have great ambitions!"
"Even if I use the elixir to break through to Golden Immortal, what can I accomplish afterward?"
"I want to give this Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir to Junior Sister Yunxiao!"
Lin Changqing said without hesitation. Everyone was stunned.
That was the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!
Its wondrous properties were on par with those of a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root!
To be bestowed such a treasure was an immense opportunity.
And yet, you don't want it! You even want to give it to someone else!
At that moment, not only was Tongtian stunned, but Yuanshi's expression also shifted slightly as he looked at Lin Changqing.
The Twelve Golden Immortals stared at Lin Changqing in fury.
The divine elixir they had desperately wanted had been rejected by Lin Changqing. Didn't that make them seem even more pathetic?
Lin Changqing was nothing but an ant, yet he was so ungrateful. He was a disgrace to the Mystic Gate of the Three Pure Ones!
Standing behind Tongtian on the other side, Yunxiao looked at Lin Changqing with deep emotion.
Senior Disciple Brother must have thought that even if he took the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, his achievements would be limited, so he was giving this opportunity to her.
But this was Senior Disciple Brother's only chance to break through!
"Senior Disciple Brother, I can't accept such a precious treasure."
"If I accepted it, how could Yunxiao face everyone in the sect afterward?"
Yunxiao shook her head, her eyes reddening.
The unity among the disciples of the Interception Sect was clear for all to see.
But just then, Lin Changqing smiled.
"Junior Sister, I don't want to use this elixir to break through. You'll be helping me most by taking it."
As he spoke, Lin Changqing looked at Tongtian with unwavering resolve.
Tongtian regarded his disciple with a complicated expression. He shared Yunxiao's thoughts.
But a moment later, Tongtian burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! You truly are my disciple. What ambition!"
"However, I have never taken back anything I've bestowed. The Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir is yours. What you do with it is up to you!"
After laughing, Tongtian let the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir drift from his hand and land in Lin Changqing's palm.
Yuanshi also looked at Lin Changqing with a complicated expression.
At that moment, he saw his nephew in a new light.
With such a mindset, if only his roots were stronger, his future achievements would surely be immeasurable.
What a pity...
Yuanshi looked at Lin Changqing and shook his head regretfully.
However, the only reason he could feel regret was that Lin Changqing posed no threat to the Sect of Elucidation. If he had been a threat, Yuanshi would never have looked this way.
Not just Yuanshi—the Twelve Golden Immortals now looked at Lin Changqing with obsequious smiles.
This was the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!
Martial Uncle Tongtian had just said Lin Changqing could do whatever he wanted with it.
Giving it to Yunxiao was giving it away. Giving it to them would be the same. Who said he couldn't give it to them?
Sure, they had mocked and ridiculed him earlier, but what if Lin Changqing had a sudden lapse in judgment?
"Hahaha! Congratulations, Senior Brother Changqing, on obtaining such a treasure."
"Senior Brother Changqing, my Flying Cloud Cave is on that mountain. When will you come by for a visit?"
"Hey! My Golden Light Cave is closer. If you're visiting, you should come to my place!"
"Senior Brother Changqing..."
The Twelve Golden Immortals all smiled ingratiatingly at Lin Changqing, hoping he would give them the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.
But the earlier humiliation was etched into his bones. Their friendly expressions now were only because they lacked the strength to do otherwise.
As if he would ever bestow the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir upon them!
"Junior Sister Yunxiao, I'll give you this Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir."
Lin Changqing didn't even glance at the Twelve Golden Immortals. He held out the elixir toward Yunxiao.
The Twelve Golden Immortals immediately glared at Lin Changqing, their faces dark with displeasure.
A mere Mystic Immortal! A worthless ant! How ungrateful!
If not for this being Kunlun Mountain, if not for you being the nominal Senior Disciple Brother!!
Lin Changqing simply ignored the Twelve Golden Immortals' fury and smiled at Yunxiao.
Yunxiao was moved to tears, but she hurriedly shook her head.
"Senior Brother, this treasure concerns your breakthrough. I absolutely can't accept it!"
"I told you, you'll help me most by taking the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir."
"If you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else!"
At Lin Changqing's words, the Twelve Golden Immortals grew excited. Someone else? The only other people here were them!
How could Yunxiao stand by while the people who had humiliated her senior brother benefited? She looked at Lin Changqing and could only nod reluctantly.
She would hold onto it for her senior brother. If he failed to break through later, he could still use it.
When Yunxiao accepted the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, Yuanshi slowly shook his head and headed toward the Sect of Elucidation's quarters.
The Twelve Golden Immortals were furious. They looked at Lin Changqing as though he had stolen their own Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!
Inside the Interception Sect Immortal Palace, Tongtian regarded Lin Changqing with a complicated expression.
Only Lin Changqing slowly closed his eyes, waiting for a voice to sound.
[Ding!] [Gifting the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir succeeded. One-hundredfold reward returned: ten billion Power of Merit.]
The emotionless voice rang out, but Lin Changqing could hardly keep his own emotions in check.
Overwhelming joy appeared on his face.
But no one saw his expression, because he was now surrounded by countless signs of an otherworldly phenomenon!
Above the Nine Heavens, layers of auspicious clouds gathered, countless golden lights flashing without end.
Golden clouds filled the sky, crimson radiance stretched for ten thousand miles, and countless golden lotus flowers bloomed in midair like a great river, enveloping all of Kunlun Mountain.
"What is this?!"
Even a Sage, with all his knowledge and experience, stared at the sky in shock.
This phenomenon was on par with becoming a Sage!
Such a phenomenon was taking place over Kunlun Mountain. Could it be...
Tongtian looked down, his eyes filled with delight.
Sages were supposed to be free of sorrow and joy, but it depended on the circumstances. At that moment, even a Sage couldn't stay calm!
For within the layers of auspicious clouds, a solid column of golden light came crashing down toward the ground.
Like the Milky Way falling from the sky, the golden pillar—dozens of meters in diameter—poured down toward Lin Changqing. The golden clouds across the sky rapidly contracted, then merged into the pillar.
These golden lights were all Power of Merit!!
This Power of Merit exceeded all the Power of Merit Tongtian possessed!
What did that mean? Everyone knew.
The Six Sages of this age had all attained Sagehood through merit!
In other words, the Power of Merit descending upon Lin Changqing was enough to make someone a Sage on the spot!!
This was the most terrifying treasure in the Primordial World!
And this boundless ocean of merit, which had left even a Sage like Tongtian speechless with shock, was descending upon his own disciple.
"Hahahaha!! Changqing, you truly know how to astonish even your master!"
Tongtian couldn't help laughing aloud.
Such an immense amount of Power of Merit was virtually unheard of.
And all that Power of Merit belonged to his disciple. How could that not fill him with delight?
