Xuan Qing Offers Treasure, Master and Disciple Show Filial Piety

After collecting the Wind Thunder Immortal Apricot and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, as well as numerous immortal herbs and celestial grasses, Xuan Qing did not linger. He directly rode his sword light back to Kunlun Mountain.

Carrying precious treasures, he naturally had to be more cautious. If his whereabouts were accidentally revealed, it would inevitably lead to trouble and karma.

After all, the status of a Saint's disciple was not omnipotent. In the Great Desolation, there were still those who were blinded by greed and might take desperate risks.

However, with the Golden Cloud Crown concealing him, no accidents occurred.

This Spiritual Treasure was quite effective!

"Master!"

But upon returning to Kunlun Mountain, Xuan Qing was no longer keeping a low profile. As soon as he reached the threshold of the Supreme Clarity Hall, he shouted, "Master, your disciple has returned from treasure hunting!"

Sect Master Tongtian heard this and chuckled, scolding, "Rushing about, what kind of decorum is that?"

"Yes!"

Xuan Qing quickly nodded.

It was precisely because Sect Master Tongtian was easygoing and unconcerned with trivial matters that Xuan Qing dared to be so presumptuous. In front of Grand Pure and Primordial Beginning, he had always been extremely respectful.

"Golden Immortal perfected?"

Sect Master Tongtian sized up Xuan Qing for a moment, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. "The Golden Immortal Dao Fruit is perfected? It seems your trip down the mountain was quite fruitful!"

When Xuan Qing heard this, he immediately took out the Wind Thunder Immortal Apricot and respectfully said, "Master, it's more than that! On this trip, I also found a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, which can be used to suppress the fortune of our Intercepting Sect!"

"Wind Thunder Immortal Apricot!"

Sect Master Tongtian smiled slightly, showing no excitement. "You have good fortune. Your luck is probably comparable to Duobao's!"

"However..."

"This is your gain, and I cannot accept it. My Green Ping Sword can also suppress fortune. You should keep this Wind Thunder Immortal Apricot for yourself!"

The Intercepting Sect indeed lacked a treasure to suppress its fortune, but what he lacked was a Primordial Supreme Treasure like the Tai Chi Diagram. He could still produce two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures capable of suppressing fortune.

The Green Ping Sword could suppress fortune, and the Primordial Dust Brush he obtained from the Treasure Distribution Rock could also suppress fortune. However, neither was comparable to a Primordial Supreme Treasure!

Of course, seeing his disciples wholeheartedly devoted to the Intercepting Sect and thinking of the sect's fortune and him, their Master, upon finding a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, made him very happy.

When Xuan Qing heard this, he quickly interrupted, "Master, this is a token of my disciple's sincerity. Please accept it! The Intercepting Sect's doctrine is 'teach without discrimination,' so it's impossible to only accept this few disciples! While the Green Ping Sword is sufficient to suppress fortune now, what about the future? Although the Wind Thunder Immortal Apricot is not as good as a Primordial Supreme Treasure, it can still suppress the fortune of a hundred or so people!"

If quality is insufficient, make up for it with quantity. This was Xuan Qing's idea. If one top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure couldn't suppress it, then find a few more items that could!

The Western Teachings did just that!

Those two individuals didn't have Primordial Supreme Treasures either, but they had the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotuses of Merit, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to suppress their fortune.

The former two were treasures of merit, while the latter two were Innate Spiritual Treasures refined from the Geng Metal Bodhi, one of the ten top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots, and the Seven Emotions Bitter Bamboo.

"This..."

Sect Master Tongtian frowned slightly. As the Sect Master of the Intercepting Sect, no one understood the sect's situation better than he did, and naturally, he understood that Xuan Qing's words were very reasonable.

"Very well!"

Sect Master Tongtian smiled with understanding. "Since you have this filial piety, I will accept it! However, I cannot accept your top-grade Innate Spiritual Root for nothing!"

He flipped his palm, and ripples appeared in the void, accompanied by the sound of thunder. A hammer-shaped Innate Spiritual Treasure, entirely dark purple and adorned with forty-eight Innate Restrictions, appeared before Xuan Qing.

"Purple Lightning Hammer!"

Xuan Qing couldn't help but exclaim.

"Indeed!"

Sect Master Tongtian said with a satisfied smile, "This Purple Lightning Hammer is something I obtained from the Treasure Distribution Rock. Since you have already cultivated the Innate Wind-Lightning Dao Body, comprehending the Great Dao of Thunder in the future will be like a fish in water! This treasure has infinite power and contains the Innate Dao of Thunder, capable of evolving into the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder. It is a perfect match for you!"

Xuan Qing was overjoyed upon hearing this. He immediately took the Purple Lightning Hammer with both hands and respectfully bowed, "A gift from an elder, I dare not refuse. Your disciple thanks Master for the gift!"

The Purple Lightning Hammer!

A top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with forty-eight Innate Restrictions was, apart from Primordial Supreme Treasures, one of the most powerful Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Great Desolation!

Even Sect Master Tongtian, known as the "Heavenly Lord of Spiritual Treasures," did not possess many such treasures. Besides his Dao-proving weapon, the Green Ping Sword, only the Primordial Dust Brush, Sea Calming Pearl, Heart Piercing Lock, and Primordial Golden Dou could be compared to it. Moreover, this treasure was extremely compatible with Xuan Qing's Great Dao.

Its value was immeasurable!

Xuan Qing did not refuse. A Saint's word was like law, and once spoken, it would not be taken back, as that would only make him appear hypocritical.

"Go!"

Seeing Xuan Qing accept the Purple Lightning Hammer, Sect Master Tongtian immediately said with a smile, "I see that your Three Flowers and Five Qi are all perfected. It is time for you to attempt to condense the Grand Unity Dao Fruit!"

"Your disciple takes his leave!"

Xuan Qing immediately bowed respectfully, then slowly withdrew from the Supreme Clarity Hall and headed towards Daoist Duobao's cave dwelling. He still needed to return the Golden Cloud Crown first.

If you return what you borrow, it's easier to borrow again!

At least until he advanced to Grand Unity, a treasure like the Golden Cloud Crown, which could conceal his aura and form, would be of great help when he went down the mountain.

Soon, he met Daoist Duobao, not only returning the Golden Cloud Crown in its original condition but also giving him some immortal stones containing wind and thunder power for refining artifacts.

He knew that Daoist Duobao enjoyed refining artifacts and was never one to refuse various refining materials, especially immortal gold and divine stones containing Dao principles.

Cultivation was all about navigating interpersonal relationships!

Since Daoist Duobao had generously lent him treasures, he didn't mind reciprocating and offering the other party some benefits.

"Hahaha!"

Daoist Duobao was overjoyed at this: "Junior Brother, you are truly too kind! However, this kind of immortal stone is perfect for artifact refinement. I shall not refuse it, Senior Brother!"

Xuan Qing quickly returned the bow: "Senior Brother, you are too polite! If Senior Brother hadn't lent me the Golden Cloud Crown, with my meager cultivation, I might not have obtained this opportunity!"

During his descent from the mountain this time, he hadn't encountered any Grand Unity duels or Grand Unity discussions, but he had carefully used the Golden Cloud Crown to avoid them all.

After bidding farewell to Duobao, he didn't immediately return to his cave dwelling to go into seclusion. Instead, he gifted some of the immortal stones and precious medicines he had acquired on this trip to Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Saint Mother Wudang, Zhao Gongming, San Xiao, and others.

Considering the relationship between the two sects, he even sent a portion to the future "Three Wus" and the Golden Immortals True Person Huang Long and Grand Master Lingbao.

These treasures might have some value to the Golden Immortals at the moment, but they would become utterly useless once they advanced to Grand Unity in the future!

It could only be said that the gift was small, but the sentiment was deep.

It wasn't exactly aiding the enemy!

After completing all of this, Xuan Qing finally returned to his cave dwelling to go into seclusion, cultivate, comprehend the Grand Unity Dao, and refine the Innate Restrictions on the Purple Lightning Hammer.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed.
