"Greetings, Phoenix Lord!"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly!
I was so excited!
Kong Qiusu a step back and blinked. "Don't try to scam me!"
Xie Feng was taken aback. "What's your relationship with my senior brother? Why do you call him Phoenix Lord? Could it be...?"
He looked at Kong Qiusu, "Actually, you have another identity in the Origin Realm, that is, you are a member of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race, right?"
Kong Qiusu: "..."
The Old Man Pine Gatherer said, "He has no relation to the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race; he is my Phoenix Lord!"
Xie Feng frowned. "Then who are you?"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer said, "Saying too much now will only cause unnecessary trouble. You just need to know that I'm not a bad person!"
Xie Feng: "..."
Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture!
Awesome!
Kong Qiusu said, "I have a bad memory, don't lie to me. Or... should I read a few more books?"
He hasn't read enough!
The Old Man Pine Gatherer: "..."
That's really unnecessary...
He stood up, a look of excitement appearing on his weathered old face. He gazed at Kong Qiusu with the same excitement as if he were witnessing a living person reborn...
Kong Qiusu twitched her face slightly, feeling a little awkward being stared at like that by an old man.
Xie Feng took a breath and said, "Since we're on the same side, then... I won't hold back on some things!"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer nodded. "Please speak!"
Xie Feng asked, "The realm lord outside invited you here to treat my second senior brother's injuries, but since he's not here, we can ignore him for now. The person standing inside is my eldest senior brother. Compared to his physical body, what's more urgent right now is to help him regain his memories. Do you have any methods?"
Upon hearing this, the Old Man Pine Gatherer lowered his head and thought for a moment, then answered firmly, " The Purple Paths and Red Dust Road!"
Xie Feng and Kong Qiusu a glance. Ye Die and Nether Dao knew this path, and now Old Man Pine Gatherer also knows it. This shows that this path is really important!
Maybe...
It can restore all of Kong Qiusu's memories!
Xie Feng had no idea how wonderful it was to have a memory until Kong Qiusu showed him!
Xie Feng asked, "How do I get here?"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer said, "This place is absolutely off-limits; I can't go. You need to find someone capable of going!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Feng felt a vague sense of familiarity. Had he just heard these words before? They sounded so familiar!
He said, "Don't tell me you're looking for a silver-haired woman whose illusion is a dragon, are you?"
Old Man Pine Gatherer was startled. "How did you know?"
Xie Feng: "..."
How could he not know? He just heard the news; it's still fresh in his mind!
He even suspected that Old Man Pine Gatherer and Ye Die were in cahoots...
The Old Man Pine Gatherer's dark face, illuminated by the light and shadow, revealed a sharp and wise expression. He stated definitively, "The person who once traveled to the Purple Paths and Red Dust Road is in the Origin Realm —it's Great Emperor Cong Yun! She is also the only person from the Origin Realm to have been to the Fifth Universe!"
These words piqued Xie Feng's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask, "I'm very curious about her background. How much do you know about it?"
A strange look appeared in Old Man Pine Gatherer's eyes. He smiled knowingly and said, "I know quite a lot! If you want to know more..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Feng immediately said, "Five million!"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself that the young man was teachable. He smiled and said, " Great Emperor Cong Yun is the patriarch of the Grand Yin Imperial Dragon Race of the Origin Realm."
After saying that, he shut his mouth and said nothing more.
Xie Feng asked, "Is it over?"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer said, "That's it! Give me the money!"
Xie Feng gave a speechless smile. He rolled his eyes and said to Kong Qiusu, "Senior brother, did I just say something?"
Kong Qiusu said, "No!"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer reminded him, "Five million, thank you!"
Xie Feng scratched the back of his head, pretending to be deep in thought. "What five million? I definitely didn't say that. Someone is definitely trying to blackmail me!"
Kong Qiusu said, "I have a bad memory, and I know nothing about this matter."
The Old Man Pine Gatherer: "..."
Sure enough, silence doesn't disappear, it just moves on!
Now he's speechless!
The Old Man Pine Gatherer, said, "Actually, I am her brother."
Xie Feng and Kong Qiusu stared at him simultaneously, their faces displaying indescribable expressions.
The younger sister is elegant and graceful, while the older brother is thin and frail; they really don't look like they're from the same family!
Old Man Pine Gatherer said unhappily, "Don't you two have any manners? Don't look at me like that!"
Xie Feng chuckled dryly, "Haha, you and Great Emperor Cong Yun truly are siblings; you look exactly alike."
The Old Man Pine Gatherer: "..."
I don't know why, but this sentence sounds weird!
This is absolutely ironic!
"Fine, I'll let it go for the sake of you being a junior. You said you wanted to go to the Purple Paths and Red Dust Road, that place is very dangerous, and you have a flame on you, right?"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer glanced at Xie Feng indifferently.
Xie Feng nodded.
The Old Man Pine Gatherer said, " The Extreme Dao Fire Flame... is powerful enough in the Third Universe, and even in the Fifth Universe, it's not insignificant. However, it will be a bit difficult to reach the Purple Paths and Red Dust Road."
Xie Feng said, "I would like to hear the details."
The Old Man Pine Gatherer said, "If it's the Supreme level, then walking the Purple Paths and Red Dust Road will be much easier!"
Xie Feng spread his hands, somewhat helplessly. "You think I don't want to? I also want to upgrade the flames, but I just haven't had the fortuitous opportunity!"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer, clicked his tongue, lost in thought.
Seeing his unusual behavior, Kong Qiusu understood and said, "This is my junior brother, my own junior brother. If you have anything good, don't hide it!"
Old Man Pine Gatherer sighed. He did indeed have some good things, and he had just been considering whether or not to take them out. Since Kong Qiusu had said so, he felt embarrassed to keep them to himself.
He took out an ordinary iron ruyi and handed it to Xie Feng, saying, "This contains the power to upgrade your flames to the Supreme, but this power is extremely violent. If you can control it, then take it!"
"I'm not afraid of anything, so what's a little violence!" Xie Feng said, taking it without any hesitation.
To be honest, the Old Man Pine Gatherer felt a little reluctant when he took it away.
But he's a good person, a kind person. Seeing that Xie Feng's flame level wasn't high enough, he wanted to upgrade it for him...
That's how selfless and great he is!
The Old Man Pine Gatherer, was so moved by her own actions that she almost burst into tears...
Xie Feng carefully placed the iron ruyi down and smiled brightly at the old man, "Old man, since you are the brother of Great Emperor Cong Yun, I'll need your help to find her with me! The reward is no problem!"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer was instantly tempted and readily agreed.
Kong Qiusu asked, "As the Great Emperor's elder brother, don't you have any money?"
The Old Man Pine Gatherer, declared righteously, "She possesses greater talent and superior insight than I do, therefore she is the true Great Emperor! I am by nature unrestrained and love freedom, preferring to live in seclusion in the mountains. Moreover, a gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it through proper means; I would never ask her for money!"
