Your Disciple's State of Mind is Unstable

Pi Lu Xian was stunned on the spot. "How is this possible? How could the few hens Hong Ze raised be Great Luo Golden Immortals?"

"Isn't it obvious enough? This must have been specially arranged by Master. It's for the sake of protecting Hong Ze's safety, but to save his face, she let them appear in their true forms."

Pi Lu Xian, the Empress of Heaven, couldn't help but nod repeatedly and sighed, saying.

"Master is too biased. I really don't know what this good-for-nothing has that Master likes. Could it be that he's Master's illegitimate child?"

"Stop talking nonsense. If Master hears that, I'm afraid it won't just be as simple as having your cultivation crippled."

Hearing Chang Er Ding Guang Xian say this, Pi Lu Xian's face instantly showed worry.

Not daring to say another word, he quickly followed Chang Er Ding Guang Xian back to report to Duobao Daoren.

When Duobao Daoren learned that Hong Ze was able to cripple Pi Lu Xian's cultivation with the help of Master Tongtian, a smile appeared on his face.

"You can only blame yourself for being weak and unworthy of your position. For the future of the Jie Sect, you can only be sacrificed."

Hong Ze had no idea that Duobao Daoren had already devised a malicious plan to ruin him.

He still lived his life as usual, spending his days on music, chess, calligraphy, painting, growing flowers, and feeding fish.

He even gave up on cultivating because no matter how he cultivated, his cultivation couldn't improve.

One day, Zhao Gongming suddenly visited. And with him were two other people Hong Ze didn't know.

When Zhao Gongming arrived in front of Hong Ze, he immediately performed the half-master'scourtesy without saying a word.

Then he spoke to the two people beside him, "Why aren't you quickly paying respects to your Eldest Senior Brother?"

Seeing their Master perform the half-master'scourtesy, the two were extremely confused because they had already seen Hong Ze's cultivation.

They didn't understand why their Master would do this, thinking that this Eldest Senior Brother's cultivation was something they couldn't even compare to.

However, since their Master had already performed the half-master'scourtesy, how could they dare to slight this Eldest Senior Brother?

The two exchanged glances, then simply knelt down directly and performed the kneeling and bowing ceremony to Hong Ze.

Hong Ze quickly reached out and helped the two up, saying.

"There aren't so many rules here. You don't need to perform this grand ceremony in the future."

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Gongming and his two disciples.

Zhao Gongming was not polite and directly followed Hong Ze into the Thatched Cottage.

And without needing Hong Ze to do anything, he himself took out the tea set.

While personally making tea, he spoke to Hong Ze.

"Thanks to Eldest Senior Brother's guidance, how else could Gongming have taken in these two excellent disciples?"

Hong Ze clearly remembered that Zhao Gongming's two disciples were Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi.

But how did this relate to him? This left Hong Ze completely bewildered.

Zhao Gongming naturally saw Hong Ze's expression and immediately spoke.

"Eldest Senior Brother is truly forgetful of trivial matters. Do you still remember the matter of sending me to Mount Wuyi that day? These two are Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao from Mount Wuyi."

At this, Hong Ze finally remembered, thinking to himself that he had indeed changed Zhao Gongming's fate.

Now that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao had become Zhao Gongming's disciples, the incident of the Treasure-Dropping Coin dropping the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl would likely not happen.

He immediately nodded and said, "Since you have now taken them as disciples, you must teach them well.

I observe that their cultivation does not match their state of mind. If their state of mind cannot be improved, they will inevitably be misled by others in the future."

Hearing Hong Ze say this, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's faces were filled with defiance.

They thought to themselves, You are just a Heavenly Immortal, what right do you have to criticize us two Mysterious Immortals, and even dare to talk about our state of mind?

If Zhao Gongming hadn't been present, and Hong Ze wasn't their Eldest Grand-Uncle, they probably would have already struck with deadly force by now.

However, Zhao Gongming was completely different. When he heard what Hong Ze said, his face couldn't help but show concern.

He quickly asked Hong Ze, "Eldest Senior Brother, logically speaking, before reaching the Golden Immortal realm, there is no need to specifically cultivate one's state of mind.

They are currently only at the Mysterious Immortal realm, so how could their state of mind be unstable?"

Hong Ze had long anticipated that Zhao Gongming would ask this, and this was exactly what Hong Ze was waiting for.

He immediately said to Zhao Gongming, "Junior Brother Gongming, have you heard of the Red Cloud Ancestor?"

Zhao Gongming nodded, "Although Gongming has never met the Red Cloud Ancestor, I have heard of his affairs.

He once yielded his seat in Zixiao Palace and received the Primordial Violet Qi bestowed by Master Ancestor.

It's just a pity that in the end, his fortune was insufficient. Not only did he fail to attain the Saint position, but he also lost his own life."

Hong Ze nodded, "The Red Cloud Ancestor met such an end precisely because his state of mind was unstable.

As a Quasi-Sage who had severed the three corpses, he only needed sufficient opportunities and merit to attain sainthood with the help of the Primordial Violet Qi.

But he was unaware of the dangers of the Primordial World and regarded everyone as his friend.

He deeply believed the words of his friends and had no suspicion towards the words of his enemies.

Little did he know that the moment he obtained the Primordial Violet Qi, he had already become a target of public criticism.

It's just a pity that he was completely unaware and even complacent because he had obtained the Primordial Violet Qi, which led to his state of mind becoming even more unstable.

And now, the situation of your two disciples is vastly different from that of the Red Cloud Ancestor back then.

Although they are only cultivators at the Mysterious Immortal realm, they possess a powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Presumably, Junior Brother Gongming also witnessed the power of that Innate Spiritual Treasure when you took them as disciples, right?"

As soon as Hong Ze said this, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were truly no longer calm.

They did indeed have an Innate Spiritual Treasure in their hands, which was the Treasure-Dropping Coin that could drop all treasures in the world.

However, as soon as this Treasure-Dropping Coin was born, it had already fallen into their hands, and no one else knew about it.

It could even be said that before meeting Zhao Gongming, they had never used this Treasure-Dropping Coin. How did Hong Ze know about it?

Not only were Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's faces full of shock, but even Zhao Gongming couldn't help but place the teacup in his hand on the table.

He couldn't help but think to himself, It seems Eldest Senior Brother has indeed attained Sainthood. He can know what's happening thousands of miles away just by standing in one place.

At the same time, he didn't forget to speak to Hong Ze, saying, "Eldest Senior Brother is truly prescient. Their Treasure-Dropping Coin is indeed extraordinary.

If it weren't for the fact that the Treasure-Dropping Coin can only drop magical treasures and has no effect on weapons, Junior Brother Gongming might not have been able to make them willingly become disciples."

Hong Ze smiled and nodded. "You can imagine, with this Treasure-Dropping Coin, two Mysterious Immortals could almost defeat you, a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Would their state of mind become frivolous and unstable because of the power of that Treasure-Dropping Coin?

Also, there's something I, your Eldest Grand-Uncle, must tell you. That is, try to use this Treasure-Dropping Coin as little as possible. It's best not to use it at all if you can."
