Just a Lousy Rock, No Need for Another Gift

"The Divine Stone?"

The Three Xiaos and Wen Zhong sat cross-legged beside Zhao Gongming.

After hearing Zhao Gongming's cautious words.

They were all slightly taken aback.

I subconsciously looked towards the direction of the house entrance.

Suddenly, they saw a golden brick, its shape dazzling and engraved with runes and Daoist characters, placed in the corner of the doorway of a house not far ahead.

The brick was about six feet high and ten feet wide.

It doesn't look small, and it's quite eye-catching.

But the Three Xiaos and Wen Zhong have been here for quite some time.

They didn't even notice this dazzling divine stone!

"Um?"

"What is this divine stone? It looks rather unusual. Does it belong to a senior?"

A look of curiosity flashed in the eyes of the Three Xiaos as they gazed at the divine stone.

They came to see their senior almost every time.

You can always find something new from your seniors... and discover some new surprises...

For example, the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree of the Western Zhunti were in the hands of the predecessors.

This time, another divine stone with a mysterious aura appeared.

Look at the cautious look on my senior's face.

This is enough to show that this thing is extraordinary.

'Perhaps, it's another high-level treasure!'

The moment the Three Xiaos were thinking this.

Wen Zhong beside him, was stunned, his eyes trembling as he looked ahead.

It felt as if something had struck my heart.

Even the primordial spirit was swaying and rattling.

A sense of horror began to spread through my heart.

'Isn't this just... a miniature version of the city wall!?'

'So, city walls can be this intricately designed... There are so many designs on city walls? This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it!'

'Is that tall, tower-like structure a beacon tower?'

'Fortress, watchtower, camp... these are all the names I know, and there are many more features than just this one...'

'What a magnificent and meticulous design... Was it designed by a senior colleague?'

'If we could introduce this design to Great Shang...'

'With such Great Shang, there will surely be no worries for ten thousand years!'

Wen Zhong also had quite a few connections with immortals.

However, his talent is not strong, his background is not outstanding, and his spiritual root is not particularly remarkable.

In the cultivation world, he can only be considered to have good interpersonal relationships, but his seniority and experience are very poor.

However, he held a very high position and status among the Human Clan.

Wen Zhong was a high-ranking official in a Great Shang family.

Di Yi reigned for thirty years before his death, entrusting his son to Wen Zhong.

Some time ago, Wen Zhong had already settled down in Great Shang.

But a few days ago...

Grandmaster Tongtian was furious and summoned all Jie Sect Disciple back to the sect.

So Wen Zhong naturally followed suit and returned.

I didn't expect to stay for only a few days.

He received such an important order!

This filled him with great anxiety.

The Great Shang is currently facing both internal and external troubles.

Although Di Xin possessed considerable leadership qualities, acted decisively, and cared for the people.

But it couldn't withstand the corrupt officials and feudal lords.

However, rectifying this situation is not a simple matter!

Now, the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity has been set in the human world once again.

The opponents are still those hypocritical bastards from the Chan Sect!

They're all immortals!

Wen Zhong was already very worried.

I don't know how to deal with this!!

Until I saw this city wall.

Wen Zhong suddenly saw hope again!

No matter how strong the opponent is.

All it takes is to erect this ethereal city wall model.

That's enough to hold off those scruffy birds from the Chan Sect!

Only.

Although that's what he thought in his heart.

But they didn't dare to ask.

Even Uncle Gongming treats his seniors with such caution.

What right does he have to ask his senior for such a priceless treasure?!

Just as Wen Zhong was thinking this.

Lin Tian's voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"That model?"

"No problem!"

The Great Wall model was just an empty space anyway, so I didn't bother wasting System Space.

It was just placed by the door.

It's not anything precious.

Lin Tian waved his hand casually.

They then very rudely pulled the Great Wall outside the pavilion.

Boom!

A muffled groan was heard.

The incredibly heavy brick and stone model of the Great Wall was placed beside Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Lin Tian to express his gratitude.

Then he got up and went to the Great Wall model.

His gaze swept over the model of the Great Wall, his tone full of respect.

"Senior, did you develop this item?"

"It looks like a city wall. I wonder what level of magic weapon this is?"

Hearing his words.

Lin Tian said calmly:

"Baby?"

"It's nothing special!"

"It's just a little gadget that I made, right?"

"It's just a very ordinary model, only good for display; it serves no practical purpose!"

Hearing Lin Tian's words.

Zhao Gongming was speechless.

That's how my seniors like to talk.

This divine stone clearly possesses incredibly powerful defensive capabilities!

How could it possibly be an ordinary thing!

Zhao Gongming simply stood to the side.

You can clearly feel the vibrant spirit and fortune within the bricks and stones, like rivers and seas, constantly rising and falling!

Obviously.

This divine stone definitely contains extremely terrifying power!

With a slight sway.

It could even make a cultivator at the Mid-stage Quasi-Sage realm feel uneasy.

This level of magical artifact.

Senior Lin Tian doesn't seem to care at all?

Why...

There really is no comparison between living beings...

If he could possess this magical artifact, wouldn't he be grinning from ear to ear every day?

But.

Such close contact.

The thought in Zhao Gongming's mind grew even stronger!

'If we could ask you for this item, senior, then everything would be fine!'

'Placing it around the Interception Sect will unleash a terrifying defensive effect, protecting the Interception Sect's safety.'

Even if it can't be used as a supreme treasure to suppress the destiny of the Interception Sect, it's still worth it!

'I'll tell my master about it when I get back.'

'Let Master bring out a decent magic weapon so we can discuss this with the senior.'

That's what I was thinking.

Lin Tian's voice suddenly came from the side.

"What, you want this model?"

Zhao Gongming nodded subconsciously.

But then he suddenly realized what he meant, and quickly shook his head, saying...

"This junior wouldn't dare."

"This is your precious treasure; how could I, a junior, presume to presume to know its value?"

Seeing his attitude, Lin Tian smiled, looked at the golden stone, and said with a hint of disdain, "It's just a broken stone."

"What kind of magic weapon is that?"

"If you want it, just take it. This broken stone is just taking up space here."

Zhao Gongming: "..."

Three Xiaos: "..."

Wen Zhong: "..."

Such a mysterious and wondrous stone.

The senior actually called it a broken stone?

And they just gave it away like that!?

This... this...

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming's expression immediately changed.

Lin Tian made it sound so easy.

He dared not answer.

This magical artifact is incredibly powerful.

It must be of a high grade.

If one receives a magical treasure for free but receives no return gift...

That terrifying karmic force of cause and effect.

This is no joke!

Not to mention.

You'll also owe your seniors a favor!

A favor from a powerful figure like a senior is not something you can simply owe... How can you repay such a debt?

This thought crossed my mind.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes.

With a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, he replied.

"Replying to your question, senior."

"This junior no longer possesses any suitable magical artifacts."

"I have no right to take your things without being able to reciprocate your gift... especially something so precious..."

That brings us to this.

Zhao Gongming gritted his teeth, then, as if making a sudden decision, hurriedly addressed Lin Heavenly Dao.

"Senior, why don't you wait a moment!"

"May I return home and ask my master to bring some things in exchange for this item?"

Lin Tian: "???"

"Fellow Gongming, you really don't need to..."

"It's just a broken rock!"

If only I could get a few more sexy, sheer tulle dresses.

Lin Tian "cannot bear" this!

Besides, Fellow Gongming comes from a poor family. If he goes back to retrieve the magic weapon, what could he possibly bring back?

We can't just sell off all our family's assets, can we?

However, Lin Tian did not succeed in stopping it.

Regarding return gifts...

Gongming took things to the extreme.

As far as Lin Tian is concerned.

This Great Wall model is completely useless.

It was just a stone given to me by the system.

Nowadays, they've even reached the point where they're too lazy to put things away properly.

Aside from occupying space, it has no other function.

Even if Fellow Gongming doesn't take it.

Lin Tian simply tossed it aside.

Giving it to Fellow Gongming is my way of repaying him for the trouble he went to in giving me such a rare and unusual magical artifact.

But it seems that Fellow Gongming is completely unaware of his good intentions!

"You flatter me, senior! Please don't be so polite!"

You must accept this return gift! If you don't, I won't feel at ease!

Zhao Gongming was absolutely resolute, leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever!

He absolutely must go back and get the magic weapon to exchange with Lin Tian!

How could I possibly take the senior's magic weapon for nothing!

Three Xiaos and Wen Zhong noticed Zhao Gongming's serious expression.

Their expressions were extremely solemn!

They all bent down and offered their advice.

"Thank you for your hospitality, senior..."

"You must agree to the return gift!"

"We are of humble origin and lack the power of words, and our spiritual cultivation is low, so naturally we must observe proper etiquette!"

"You are a respected senior! How could we not return the courtesy!"

"If you don't accept it, we might suffer divine retribution!"

Punished by God?

What bad luck?

It's just a broken rock, isn't it?

Is it really that serious?

Look at how serious and sincere they are.

Lin Tian's lips twitched slightly, and a few dark lines appeared at the corners of his eyes. He looked speechless.

Are these Primordial World natives all single-minded?!

Why are you so stubborn!

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have taken that broken stone out this morning!

Now things are really messed up.

This has caused a whole lot of trouble.

Lin Tian felt rather helpless.

I took a deep breath...

Seeing their serious attitude, Lin Tian didn't bother arguing with them anymore.

He simply waved his hand, saying helplessly.

"I'll do as you say..."

"The fact that you sent these magical treasures is already more than enough."

"There's no need to prepare any elaborate gifts; I don't care!"

He was terrified that Fellow Gongming would send him that sexy little dress again...

Hearing Lin Tian's reminder.

Zhao Gongming's eyes narrowed, and he immediately spoke solemnly.

"I will remember this."

"I'll take my leave now!"

"Could you allow my three younger sisters and Wen Bo to stay here a little longer?"

"I'll be right back."

Lin Tian didn't seem to care about this.

He waved his hand casually and said, "It's alright."

Upon seeing that his senior had agreed, Zhao Gongming was overjoyed.

It's enough to keep the Three Xiaos and Wen Zhong waiting here.

Who knows, their primordial spirit condensation level will reach an even higher level.

Thinking this way.

Zhao Gongming then called out to the Three Xiaos of Sanxiao.

He then turned around and respectfully withdrew.

Only the Three Xiaos and Wen Zhong were left completely bewildered...
