Before leaving this blessed land, Liu Wenyan was quite puzzled by Chen Shuangbai's sudden lifting of the seals on Wu Qiong and Sun Yuan, and even giving them a precious pill...
Now that Fang Yan and Fang Xu have been dealt with, why didn't Chen Shuangbai also take care of these two fellow disciples?
Anyway, it was something that came easily to him.
Only at this moment did he realize that all of this was to drag the Setting Sun Sect into the mess and get them on his side.
In this way.
With the Setting Sun Sect already guilty of colluding to kill a Painstaking Heart Sect Foundation Establishment from the Kuxin Sect, and now burdened by a precious pill... Master True Person Qian has no choice but to side with Gongye Chun.
The standoff naturally ended inconclusively.
Although Qing Yizi, Zhang Jing, and Painstaking Heart Sect True Person Zhao of the Kuxin Sect were very suspicious of their two families, this was, after all, inside Spring-Returning Mountain, and Zhang Jing did not have control over the Spring-Returning Mountain Array. Even though the three of them had one more Golden Core cultivator than Gongye Chun and True Person Qian, they did not dare to easily start a war in their territory.
Although Spring-Returning Mountain was a relatively new sect, the three of them dared not easily test the power of its mountain-guarding formation.
At least... no one dares to be the first to stick their neck out!
However, Gongye Chun and True Person Qian did not dare to press too hard, so they agreed to deal with the matter slowly and ask again when they returned if there were any "forgotten" details.
The Golden Core cultivators agreed to renegotiate in three days.
After leaving the valley, Gongye Chun, along with his master Chen Shuangbai and his grand-disciple Liu Wenyan, returned directly to their usual cave abode where they studied the Dao. With a flick of his sleeve, layers of array formations and restrictions opened, sealing off the inside and outside of the cave.
Gongye Chun stared intently at Chen Shuangbai, while Yi Chongyue and Liu Wenyan did the same.
Under the intense gazes of the three men, Chen Shuangbai took out everything she had obtained on this trip.
Two precious pills of unknown efficacy, but clearly of extraordinary quality, a jade bottle, a jade box, a Jade Slip scroll, and other miscellaneous items collected by Liu Wenyan.
Gongye Chun immediately turned his gaze to the two precious pills whose surfaces were radiating with mysterious silver runes. After breaking free from Chen Shuangbai's restraints, the two precious pills suddenly transformed into two beams of silver light, about to soar into the sky.
But at this moment, the entire cave abode's protective array was wide open, preventing even a fly from getting out and a bird from getting in.
They were like two headless flies, constantly circling above the cave abode.
"What a wonderful elixir!"
For once, a hint of joy appeared on Gongye Chun's aged face. He reached out and grabbed one of the coins, examining it closely. Before long, his face showed even more excitement.
"The elixir possesses a spirit upon completion, and it vanishes upon encountering light... This must be the legendary [ Star-Nurturing Divine Pill ]!"
[ Star-Nurturing Divine Pill ]?
Chen Shuangbai looked puzzled and glanced at her master, only to hear Yi Chongyue also staring intently at the two precious pills, explaining:
"It's called a divine pill, but it's actually an extremely rare treasure pill among third-tier pills, capable of enhancing the quality of the divine soul. The materials used to refine this treasure pill are very precious, including a spiritual material called [ Star-Nurtured Illusion Crystal ], which only has a certain probability of being born after a celestial star falls... No one can refine this treasure pill anymore."
After a pause, Yi Chongyue said, "One pill is worth sixty years of hard work, and what's even more valuable is that it can repair one's foundation and increase the chances of forming a core!"
hiss!
Chen Shuangbai was also shocked. Although he had expected the pill to be extraordinary, he had not expected it to be such a precious ancient pill.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that it increases the chances of forming a core... is absolutely insane!
"Oops!"
Liu Wenyan suddenly let out a strange cry. The others looked at him and saw the Daoist slap his thigh hard, his face full of regret, saying, "What a pity, I gave one to the Setting Sun Sect!"
"What's there to regret?!"
Upon hearing this, Gongye Chun snorted coldly, looking disappointed in him, and said, "I think Shuangbai did a good job. By giving away one, she forced Qian Yuanjian to side with us, muddying the waters and making Qing Yizi Zhang Jing, and the others, even if they were very suspicious, not dare to act rashly, giving us a few days!"
"Can't you even see that?"
Liu Wenyan blushed deeply.
He didn't realize it at first, but he later understood Chen Shuangbai's plan.
Gongye Chun snorted coldly, but Chen Shuangbai stepped in to smooth things over, saying a few good words for Liu Wenyan, which improved the old True Person's expression, though he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Such a promising talent... I wish he were my apprentice!
The old True Person used magic to re-capture the two [ Star-Nurturing Divine Pill ] and seal them in a jade bottle to prevent them from wandering off. He then turned his attention to the three items and some boxes.
He examined it closely and studied it for a while, then said, "This is an ancient cultivator's restriction technique, quite different from modern restrictions. I've only glanced at it briefly, and it can't be forcibly broken, otherwise it will easily turn to ashes."
"Then we can only proceed gradually."
Compared to those two [ Star-Nurturing Divine Pill ], these things are actually the ones that are truly valuable.
Once the precious pill is swallowed, there is no second one.
If these boxes contain several extremely valuable Pill Formula... even if they aren't the Pill Formula for the [ Star-Nurturing Divine Pill ], even if they contain other formulas, if one of them is of similar value to the [ Star-Nurturing Divine Pill Formula... then this trip will be incredibly profitable!
Thinking of this, Gongye Chun felt even more sour.
Why isn't Chen Shuangbai my disciple?
Gongye Chun simply put away the precious pill, waved his hand, and made it land in front of Yi Chongyue. Yi Chongyue was not surprised at all, and turned around to put everything away.
Chen Shuangbai was somewhat surprised.
Although the two of them, master and disciple, had a deep connection with this old True Person, no matter how deep the connection, the other party was neither Yi Chongyue's personal master nor Chen Shuangbai's personal grandmaster.
The [ Star-Nurturing Divine Pill ] is one thing, after all, Gongye Chun's lifespan is limited, his potential is almost exhausted, and his hope of breaking through is slim. But he still has a grand-disciple!
Although Liu Wenyan is somewhat lacking in judgment, he is steady and reliable. He is also quite talented and still young. If he could take a [ Star-Nurturing Divine Pill ], his chances of achieving the Golden Core stage would greatly increase. We should at least consider his future... How could we so easily entrust it to Yi Chongyue for safekeeping?
wrong...
Chen Shuangbai raced, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two division commanders, her face full of suspicion.
Liu Wenyan also sensed that something was amiss.
