Zhao Gongming's Visit and Taishang's Greedy Scheme
Halfway up the mountain!
A flash of white light materialized, conjuring four mysterious figures.
It was none other than Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos of the Interception Sect, second-generation disciples!
After taking the pills given to them by Senior Lin Tian, they hurriedly returned to find Lin Tian.
Unlike before, the power they possess now...
There have been many changes compared to before.
Although his outward appearance hasn't changed much.
However, the solidity of that primordial spirit has improved considerably!
The energy and spirit contained in their eyes were also much more concentrated than before.
As he walked, a subtle and profound Daoist charm was revealed!
Even in the smallest gestures, it exudes a seven-colored aura.
From afar, it exudes an ethereal aura, truly extraordinary!
"The opportunity given by Senior Lin Tian is indeed extraordinary."
"Just two pills not only completely healed our old injuries to our primordial spirits, but also increased our strength by one point!"
A look of surprise flashed across Zhao Gongming's elegant face.
As usual, I was walking on the path to the top of the mountain.
As he walked, he spoke to the Three Xiaos behind him.
His tone was full of respect for Senior Lin Tian!
Hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Yunxiao, who was standing behind Zhao Gongming, was also filled with admiration.
"Yes."
"The previous battle against the Chan Sect Disciple had taken a heavy toll, and my breakthrough was not particularly stable."
"After taking the two pills given to me by Senior Lin Tian..."
"Not only has my cultivation level stabilized, but even my primordial spirit has become much more clear. I estimate that it won't be long before I break through again."
As Yunxiao spoke, he looked at Qiongxiao behind him.
Seeing that the latter had a rosy complexion and an ethereal air, he showed no signs of weakness whatsoever.
He said with delight.
"Especially my junior sister Qiongxiao, who was seriously injured before, recovered some of her spiritual energy in Senior Lin Tian's courtyard, and took some pills as soon as she returned to the dojo."
"As a result, my old injuries have now healed, and my strength has even improved considerably!"
"It's clear how terrifying the potency of Senior Lin Tian's medicine is."
Bixiao chimed in, "Yes! If we hadn't met Senior Lin Tian, we really wouldn't know what to do."
As she finished speaking...
Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and Qiongxiao all felt extremely fortunate.
However, just as they continued walking slowly forward...
Qiongxiao frowned, a look of worry flashing in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke.
"Senior sisters, Senior Brother Gongming, we are deeply indebted to Senior Lin Tian!"
"But we don't have any particularly valuable treasures to give to Senior Lin Tian!"
"If Senior Lin Tian doesn't like the magical treasures we brought from the Interception Sect this time..."
"Then how should we repay Senior Lin Tian's karmic debt!"
Qiongxiao's words startled Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and Qiongxiao.
Zhao Gongming, in particular, was quite helpless.
"What my third sister said makes sense."
"On this trip back to Islam, I brought almost every magical artifact I could find."
"I wonder if you'll like it, senior."
A hint of worry flashed in Yunxiao's eyes as he stood to the side.
"If we cannot repay the debt of karma owed to Senior Lin Tian, then we have no choice but to give the Kongtong Seal to him."
There is no other way!
Hearing Yunxiao's bitter tone.
Bixiao and Qiongxiao's beautiful faces turned pale instantly.
They exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of dejection in each other's eyes!
It's not that they're stingy!
For them, the Primordial Golden Dou is truly extremely important!
If it's gone.
Then their losses would be enormous.
Not only will their attack power be fatally affected.
Even that formation couldn't be completed!
That formation is related to the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods!
Zhao Gongming noticed that the Three Xiaos Immortals of Sanxiao were somewhat downcast.
He couldn't help but offer words of comfort to the Three Xiaos.
"My three junior sisters, please don't underestimate yourselves."
"Senior Lin Tian is incredibly powerful; he probably wouldn't even look at ordinary magic weapons."
"All we need to do is present the carefully prepared magical artifact to our senior; the rest is up to fate."
"Besides, you should try to think more positively."
"I've already given Senior Lin Tian all twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, so what harm is there in you giving away the Primordial Golden Dou as well?"
"Furthermore, truly Gao Ming formations don't necessarily require supreme treasures to activate them."
"So, even if the senior doesn't accept our magical treasures, it won't matter."
"Perhaps we can consult Senior Lin Tian about the formation later."
Hearing Zhao Gongming's reassuring words.
The Three Xiaos immortals were taken aback. They exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of helplessness in the other's eyes.
After a long silence, Yunxiao sighed at Zhao Gongming and said helplessly.
"This is the only way."
"Senior brother, there's no time to lose, let's set off as soon as possible."
"It takes some time to walk up to the top of the mountain."
Zhao Gongming nodded, and then continued walking forward.
Only.
Just as their figures disappeared into the forest.
The place where Zhao Gongming and his three companions had previously stayed.
Space was slightly distorted.
An old man with white hair and a handsome face, dressed in Yinyang and yang symbols.
Holding a whisk, a mysterious aura emanated from his body.
However, it was blocked by the white mist surrounding his body and did not travel out.
This person was none other than Taishang, one of the Three Pure Ones.
Just now, Taishang noticed that Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos had come to this desolate mountain.
He then used some tricks to conceal his aura and hide it within the space.
Although the spiritual energy here is depleted, there is not much power of laws.
But for Sage, it's not a problem at all.
Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos Immortals of Sanxiao were among the best of the second-generation disciples of the Mystic Gate.
But he was not Sage after all, so naturally he could not perceive the existence of the Taishang.
The conversation between Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos was also overheard by Taishang.
Is there really an opportunity here?
"Who is this Senior Lin Tian they're talking about?"
"It seems they were also given elixirs!"
"But there's nothing on that mountaintop!"
"Could it be, as the Jieyin said, that this place is hidden by some kind of law?"
"But I just used my divine sense to investigate, and I didn't find anything!"
The Taishang Being murmured to himself, his face showing a solemn expression.
Being shrewd and calculating, he had already sensed that something was amiss.
He now had a new perspective on what the Jieyin had said!
"Perhaps, the Jieyin has not deceived me!"
"It's just that an accident happened here, resulting in a situation different from what he described!"
"I estimate that it's probably closely related to Tongtian!"
"Otherwise, Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos, as Jie Sect Disciple, would naturally not have come here seeking opportunities!"
"Perhaps there's some special magic array here concealing its presence!"
"So, following Zhao Gongming and the others might lead to some unexpected opportunities!"
These thoughts flashed through Taishang's mind.
My heart skipped a beat!
"We must quickly communicate with Yuanshi and the Two Sages of the West, and get them to come here!"
Thinking about this...
Taishang couldn't help but want to fly away into the distance.
But before he could take a step, another thought took over his mind.
"Huh? Wait a minute!"
"If we invite them, wouldn't we be able to split the spoils if we stumble upon an opportunity?!"
"I'll go check it out myself first... If it's really difficult to get in, then I'll call them for help!"
"If there's anything good, you should take it first!"
Thinking about this...
A glint of light flashed in the Taishang Being's eyes, and he moved.
He then transformed into a simple young Daoist priest.
Its appearance and aura were both concealed; it possessed no special aura whatsoever.
Even their attire was the Daoist robe of Jie Sect Disciple.
No one would recognize him as the Taishang the Three Pure Ones!
After making these preparations.
Without further hesitation, Taishang chased after Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos.
