Besides, the only Innate Spiritual Treasure they had, the Heaven-Overturning Seal, was still in the Tiger Monster's hands!
"We don't have that many treasures on us right now. How about we use the Heaven-Overturning Seal to cover the debt?"
The Tiger Monster immediately objected!
"Why should you?"
"The Heaven-Overturning Seal belongs to your Lord Tiger! How dare you use my property to pay off your debt?"
At those words, Randeng truly had no temper left.
"Then how about we present them to you after we return to the Chan Sect?"
Duobao snorted softly.
Once Randeng and the others went back, whether they would even acknowledge the debt was another matter entirely.
In the end, the Tiger Monster spoke up.
"Today's business gets settled today. If you don't hand over the goods, you're not going anywhere."
The Chan Sect disciples were furious, but none dared speak.
Daoist Randeng had quite a headache himself.
"But we don't have that many Innate Spiritual Treasures on us right now."
The Tiger Monster answered brazenly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have them now. You just need to admit that you owe us two Innate Spiritual Treasures."
Daoist Randeng's brow twitched wildly.
"So what do you propose?"
"Write an IOU!"
"Write down clearly that you owe us two Innate Spiritual Treasures!"
"And you don't look like you can produce two Innate Spiritual Treasures anyway. When the time comes, our teacher will collect them from your master himself!"
The Tiger Monster's move was even more ruthless than Duobao's.
Who in the entire Primordial World didn't know about the animosity between their teacher and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi?
Daoist Randeng and the others would write the IOU today.
Tomorrow, when their teacher went to collect the Spirit Treasure, there would probably be another fine show to watch!
Besides, with an IOU in hand, they wouldn't have to worry about Daoist Randeng and the others reneging!
Unless they wanted to lose face before the entire Primordial World!
Yet to Daoist Randeng and the others, this was already no different from losing face before the entire Primordial World.
When the time came, not only would their Chan Sect lose face, but their teacher would too!
But if they refused to write the IOU now, none of them would likely leave this place alive.
In the end, Daoist Randeng could only swallow his anger and write the IOU.
What they didn't know was this.
At that very moment, a figure had already slipped quietly into the Chan Sect's cultivation grounds on Kunlun Mountain...
Losing face would be nothing compared to losing their very home base!
Golden Ao Island.
These days, what Lu Feng paid the most attention to was his Flat Peach Tree.
Compared with the other spiritual plants beneath it, the Flat Peach Tree was still far more enticing.
After all, once the Flat Peach Tree matured, he could eat its fruit. With the other spiritual plants, he could at most sample their flavor.
Still, planting these spiritual roots had greatly benefited the growth of his spiritual power.
Since they were all wood-element spiritual roots, their growth brought a tremendous influx of spiritual power.
Lu Feng's own cultivation speed had also risen considerably.
Even if the improvement wasn't all that great, it was better than nothing, wasn't it?
Just as Lu Feng wondered whether to plant more spiritual roots, another system notification sounded in his ears.
[Congratulations, host! The Jie Sect disciples have achieved a great victory. Your rewards are being distributed...]
Lu Feng froze for a moment.
There were rewards for that too?
The next second, the reward notifications sounded again.
[Congratulations, host! Proficiency in six random laws increased by fifteen percent!] [Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation!] [Congratulations, host! You have obtained one Pangu Secret Realm Key!] [Congratulations, host! You have obtained Eight 100,000 Years of Cultivation!]
So many rewards arrived at once that Lu Feng was completely stunned.
Was the system really this generous?
It had actually rewarded him with eight hundred thousand years of cultivation outright.
The previous hundred thousand years of cultivation hadn't done much to improve his strength.
But eight hundred thousand years of cultivation would make an enormous difference!
The moment those eight hundred thousand years of cultivation poured into him, Lu Feng broke through his current realm in one fell swoop.
Had he not suppressed it with all his might, he would probably have reached the quasi-sage realm already.
Eight hundred thousand years of cultivation was no small amount. Lu Feng still wanted to solidify his foundations, so he barely managed to hold his cultivation at the late Daluo Golden Immortal stage.
What surprised him even more, however, was the improvement in his laws granted by the system.
Apart from the laws he had already comprehended, the system had now familiarized him with six new kinds of power of law.
Although his proficiency wasn't high yet, it was still much better than having none at all.
Even though Lu Feng had yet to reach the quasi-sage realm, with his current strength, he could probably put up a fight against even a mighty cultivator at the late quasi-sage stage.
After all, Lu Feng still had quite a few treasures at his disposal.
After receiving his Great Dao laws and cultivation rewards, Lu Feng finally turned his attention to the physical rewards the system had given him.
The system had given him a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.
Recorded on this fragment were the three thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World.
Comprehending them would take a long time, but it could still speed up Lu Feng's understanding of his newly acquired laws.
The other item was the Pangu Secret Realm Key.
This key was connected to the Pangu Secret Realm, which contained the legacy of Great God Pangu.
Legends about Pangu were everywhere in the Primordial World.
The Three Pure Ones, who possessed the Pangu Bloodline, had even risen to become Saints.
If he could enter the Pangu Secret Realm, the tremendous help he would receive went without saying.
There were two keys to the Pangu Secret Realm, however.
Lu Feng had only obtained one of them so far. Entering the Pangu Secret Realm was still a long way off.
Although he couldn't enter yet, he still had to have dreams.
Who knew? Perhaps one day he would obtain another key and open the Pangu Secret Realm directly.
While Lu Feng was receiving his system rewards...
On Kunlun Mountain, the Golden Hoop Immortal was making his way through the Chan Sect's cultivation grounds.
He had always been highly accomplished in the art of formations.
Otherwise, the book of formation diagrams Lu Feng had written would never have ended up in his hands.
Even though the Daoist art he had comprehended involved digging up other people's ancestral graves, his understanding of formations was equally profound.
He had yet to reach perfection, but he wasn't far from it.
Thus, even though the cultivation grounds on Kunlun Mountain contained plenty of a Saint's handiwork...
To the Golden Hoop Immortal, it was still like walking through unguarded territory.
After all, Daoist Randeng had taken more than half the Chan Sect's disciples down the mountain.
There really weren't many disciples left on Kunlun Mountain at the moment.
Besides, compared with their Interception Sect, the Chan Sect had far more rules.
Ordinarily, these Chan Sect disciples wouldn't come out to wander around without good reason.
The Golden Hoop Immortal wandered around the vast cultivation grounds on Kunlun Mountain, but found nowhere to dig them up.
It seemed the Chan Sect had its own tricks.
Otherwise, the Golden Hoop Immortal would have found where they stored their treasures long ago.
After all, if he wanted to dig up their ancestral graves...
Pah, pah, pah! Their cultivation grounds! He had to know where they'd put their treasures first, didn't he?
Yet after circling Kunlun Mountain, he hadn't found a single sign of any treasure.
Logically, a place as vast as Kunlun Mountain, serving as the Chan Sect disciples' cultivation grounds, couldn't possibly be this poor.
That left only one possibility.
The Chan Sect lot had hidden their treasures!
