Unlucky Jieyin Fell into a Cesspit...
All I saw was...
The pond was now completely muddy.
No one takes care of it, which is fine.
However, what angered Zhunti the most was not this.
Instead, it was covered in... excrement!!!
The puddles of excrement were scattered haphazardly in the muddy pond.
Beneath a thick layer of muddy excrement.
A faint outline of a pale gray bamboo-shaped magical artifact could be discerned.
It was Zhunti's Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.
The once vibrant green bamboo sections have now been discolored by the yellowish-brown excrement.
Zhunti did not release his divine sense and initially did not realize that this magic weapon was his own.
It wasn't until he realized what was happening.
It felt as if a sharp sword had pierced my heart!
This is his Dabao!
He wipes the Six Roots Pure Bamboo every day!
But it has never been tainted!
Take great care of it!
Unexpectedly, he possessed such a precious treasure for achieving enlightenment.
In the pond of this courtyard.
It actually lived among the dung of monsters and the surrounding mud!
From a distance, it doesn't look like a magic weapon at all.
It looks more like a pile of garbage!
That's what I was thinking.
Zhunti's lips twitched violently, his heart filled with rage!
Insulting his magic weapon is insulting him!
He simply couldn't take it anymore!
He couldn't help but address the Jieyin.
"Senior brother, that young man dared to treat my magic weapon like this... I really can't hold back anymore and I'm about to take action..."
Zhunti clenched his fists, looking extremely indignant.
"This excrement must be the work of that Yazi! It's already at the Taiyi, how can it still poop!?"
"This pond is far from the pavilion and houses in the courtyard, but it's still a pond!"
"How could you use it as a latrine?!"
"How could that young man be so lazy!"
Looking at Zhunti, who was gritting his teeth in anger.
The Jieyin, who was standing to the side, quickly offered words of comfort.
"Junior brother, don't act impulsively."
"This young man is unfathomable. Our previous understanding may be wrong. This young man may be a reclusive Sage."
"I just don't know what their relationship is with Tongtian?"
"If you act impulsively, you might get beaten to death."
"If we stay put for now, we won't lose any of our cultivation from this one-yuan cycle. But if we return from the Heavenly Dao, we'll have to start all over again!"
"Isn't the magic weapon right there? That young man left it here; he clearly doesn't value it. You can secretly take it first, and then we'll sneak away!"
Heeding the Jieyin's advice.
Zhunti immediately realized that Jieyin said made sense.
He quickly suppressed the anger surging within him.
Then he took a deep breath.
Only then did he look again in the direction of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, which were covered in mud.
His gaze sharpened.
Divine consciousness was released!
Although their primordial spirit power was imprisoned by the power of the courtyard's magic array.
Their strength has dropped to an extremely exaggerated level.
Unable to use the power of the primordial spirit, one can still utilize the primordial energy.
Six Roots Pure Bamboo.
The Six Roots Pure Bamboo secretly entered his soul!
In this way...
They could then take the magic weapon away silently.
That was, after all, his magical artifact, and it didn't have much connection with the laws of the world.
However.
Just as Zhunti was certain that he could incorporate the Six Roots Pure Bamboo into his body...
An ominous aura suddenly surged into Zhunti's body!
Buzz!
The space above the pond trembled slightly.
A visible aftershock suddenly emanated from the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.
With lightning speed, it Zhunti.
Zhunti staggered back several steps, his face turning pale.
A look of horror flashed in those eyes!
"How is this possible?!"
Jieyin, who was standing to the side, also immediately noticed Zhunti's unusual behavior.
He quickly Zhunti back, his eyes filled with worry.
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you!?"
At this moment, Zhunti could not suppress the fear in his heart and whispered in terror.
"Senior brother, this is terrible!"
"Junior brother... Junior brother can't communicate with the Six Roots Pure Bamboo anymore!!"
"The Six Roots Pure Bamboo even attacks me..."
Upon hearing this...
Jieyin was taken aback, then said strangely.
"Oh?"
"Unable to communicate? Could it be that the laws governing this courtyard are too powerful, preventing you from using your spiritual energy?"
"It's alright, we don't need to absorb the Six Roots Pure Bamboo into our primordial spirit. We can just put it into our Sumeru Bag and take it with us, right?"
"It's not too late to talk about it after we get out."
Jieyin thought it was for some other reason and didn't take it too seriously until Zhunti spoke the next sentence.
"Senior brother, it's not about the magic array, but... it's that all the traces I left behind in the Six Roots Pure Bamboo have been erased."
"In other words, the Six Roots Pure Bamboo no longer belongs to me..."
"It has become one with this space, completely rejecting my attempts to communicate with it!!"
"No wonder I didn't sense the presence of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo when I entered the courtyard."
"So that's why..."
Zhunti's words caused Jieyin's eyes to tremble.
A sense of horror arose in their hearts simultaneously.
"How is that possible!"
"The Six Roots Pure Bamboo is your life-bound treasure!"
"Even Dao Ancestor might not be able to arbitrarily strip you of control over your magical artifact."
"This is just a small courtyard, not the Heavenly Dao itself, how could it possibly control your magical artifact!?"
"Don't rush, try again. Maybe you're just imagining things."
No matter how Jieyin analyzed it, Zhunti wouldn't listen at all.
He looked completely lost and dejected.
He shook his head dejectedly and replied.
"Sigh, senior brother, it's no use."
"I've tried, it's truly impossible to communicate! Impossible to devour."
"It's impossible to devour it anymore. Even if you reach out and try to grab it yourself, you might not be able to touch it!"
"If you rush to grab it, you might end up getting covered in excrement..."
"In the end, we'll be all disheveled, and that young man will even notice! Our plan will be ruined!"
Upon hearing this...
Jieyin's expression suddenly changed!
I felt inexplicably fearful and uneasy.
The Six Roots Pure Bamboo is Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, capable of bewitching the six senses and attacking people's minds.
Extremely powerful.
Without this item, they can no longer unconditionally deceive Eastern cultivators into joining the Western Teachings!
Similar to how they tricked Chan Sect Disciple, like Randeng, into joining the Western Teachings.
It's impossible to continue.
Thinking about this...
Jieyin felt both helpless and disappointed as he looked at Zhunti's dejected appearance.
All I could do was sigh, unsure of what words of comfort to offer.
He noticed that the Jieyin remained silent and did not speak.
Zhunti became even more desperate.
His heart was filled with dejection.
I was very happy when I came here before.
They thought they were able to bring the magic weapon back.
But who would have thought that things would turn out this way?
A world of extremes, like ice and fire.
Joy and despair coexisted.
This is seriously affecting my resolve on the path!
If he cannot retrieve the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, then his strength will be permanently stuck at the first level.
Thinking about this...
Zhunti's heart grew heavier.
For a moment, I was at a loss for what to do.
And that's what Jieyin and Zhunti were thinking.
Suddenly.
Suddenly, Lin Tian's displeased shout came from afar.
This startled Zhunti and Jieyin.
What are you two whispering about?!
"Do we really need two people to do this job?!"
"You skinny guy, you go and tidy up the gazebo; you short guy, you stay there and clean up the pond!"
"Hurry up!"
"If you don't finish before dark, see how I deal with you!"
Jieyin: "..."
Zhunti: "..."
Zhunti is the skinny one, and the short one is naturally Jieyin.
They had heard countless nicknames.
Terms like: shameless, despicable, filthy, vulgar.
As for short people and thin people...
This was the first time they'd ever heard anyone dare to address them like that!
To be honest, those words made them quite embarrassed.
But it's too late now.
They didn't dare to refute it.
After all, they didn't dare to attack Lin Tian at this moment!
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance.
She parted ways with him and walked towards the pavilion.
Zhunti, and looked at Jieyin with some envy.
He doesn't want to clean up the latrine either!?
Zhunti thought sadly.
His gaze returned to the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.
They wanted to acquire it.
But even after trying more than ten times, he still couldn't bring back the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.
That sense of unfamiliarity made Zhunti realize even more clearly the state of purity he had achieved in this moment...
It really doesn't belong to him anymore.
"Oh no... what should I do now?"
"My magic weapon is right in front of me, yet I can't catch it. I'm about to suffocate..."
The Daoist Zhunti harbored resentment but dared not express it.
He harbored anger but dared not let it out.
He could only stare wide-eyed, his bloodshot eyes fixed on what lay ahead.
Just Zhunti was saying this...
Suddenly.
Suddenly, Jieyin cry came from the direction of the pavilion in the courtyard.
In a daze, Zhunti could even sense Jieyin's trembling emotions.
He paused, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Um?"
"What's wrong with Senior Brother?"
"Could there be some ominous aura near the pavilion?!"
Zhunti wanted to go and check it out.
But then she thought of the young man still standing there behind her, wondering what he was doing with Nuwa.
Zhunti pulled his leg back after he had just stepped out.
He looked on in shock as Jieyin the gift.
Zhunti could only watch anxiously.
Beside the pavilion.
The Jieyin walked over on his own.
Here, their strength was too weak, and they were no match for that young man at all.
I also can't figure out his background.
The relationship with Tongtian is unclear.
Jieyin naturally dared not act rashly.
So they decided to play along.
We arrived near the courtyard.
The courtyard was quite clean, much better than the latrine that Zhunti had Zhunti clean up.
The table was quite messy, though.
There were only four teacups on the table, and they were covered in tea stains.
"This person may have a sense of style, but isn't he incredibly unclean?"
"At least use some Water-Avoidance Art or Filth-Avoidance Art!"
Jieyin looked at the stone table in front of him with some helplessness.
We must then use a rudimentary Daoist technique like the "Filth-Avoidance Art."
Clean the tea table.
But.
Just as he was using the last bit of power he had left.
My mind suddenly jolted.
A surge of powerful spiritual energy.
Suddenly, something came from the four teacups on the table in front of them.
Buzz!
Spiritual energy surged forth.
The space trembled slightly.
It swept past the body of the Jieyin.
Jieyin's eyes widened instantly!
A look of surprise flashed across his eyes!
"Such terrifying spiritual energy! Such pure power of law!"
"This tiny teacup is actually Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!?"
"That's really unexpected!"
Although the power of the Jieyin was affected by the laws of the courtyard.
But it's not that they're ignorant.
The pure spiritual energy released from the tea set just now.
It's not something that can be released from ordinary objects.
It must be at least a top-grade Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Only then can one possess such pure spiritual energy!
However, if the level is any higher, the Jieyin a higher level is simply unthinkable.
After all, wasn't his ultimate treasure, the one that led to his enlightenment, Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?
In the Primordial World, this level of magical artifact was already enough to stand at the pinnacle of the Primordial World magical artifact rankings...
'But...'
'Using Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure to drink tea? That would be like fine wine and nectar!'
Jieyin felt admiration and became increasingly curious about Lin Tian's identity and strength!
'It's a pity I've been to the courtyard before.'
'That young man seemed to have said he would offer us tea, but before he could even appear, Zhunti and I were kicked out by the power of the Zhunti array.'
'It's a pity I didn't get to taste this nectar...'
Jieyin felt a pang of regret.
However, there's probably no chance of drinking it now.
Let's get out of here first.
Otherwise, they might not even be able to protect themselves.
Thinking this way.
Without further hesitation, Jieyin immediately activated the Filth-Avoidance Art.
I tidied the table a bit.
The table became clean instantly.
Then.
The Jieyin then planned to clean the ground as well.
But just as the Jieyin gaze fell upon the stone slab beneath the pavilion...
A bright green bottle came into Jieyin.
This caused the Jieyin's gaze to freeze instantly.
The bottle itself doesn't matter; there were plenty of these Glazed Bottle in the Primordial World.
But inside that emerald green Glazed Bottle...
There was a crystal-clear object on the table, which seemed strangely familiar to Jieyin.
However, the bottle is quite large.
The crystal-clear object was mostly buried.
The angle from which the Jieyin is located is at an angle.
You can't see it clearly, and you can't feel its essence.
Regarding this object.
A sense of foreboding crept into Jieyin's heart.
He quickly suppressed the panic in his heart.
Subconsciously, I lowered my head, bent over, and looked ahead.
His gaze sharpened slightly.
It's like looking through the bottle's exterior into its interior.
When the Jieyin sees objects on the screen...
Jieyin's eyes narrowed abruptly.
A look of terror flashed in his eyes!
'Isn't this...? Isn't this Zhunti's Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree!?'
'After searching for so long, we still haven't been able to detect the presence of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.'
'I thought he was sealed away by Tongtian within the Interception Sect.'
'I never expected it to be here!'
'And it was placed in a Glazed Bottle, what does that mean?'
'As a vase?'
The thought flashed through my mind.
The Jieyin was both shocked and furious.
This item was the most precious treasure that helped my junior brother, Zhunti, achieve enlightenment.
Crucial!
Normally, Zhunti cherishes the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree dearly.
Unexpected.
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree has been placed in such a remote corner!
And it was even put in a bottle!
That's such a waste!
No!
We absolutely cannot leave the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree here!
We must find an opportunity to take the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree!
Even if I can't take the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, taking the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree will make the trip worthwhile!
That's what I was thinking.
Jieyin a firm decision in his mind.
He then bent down to put the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree into his Sumeru Bag.
However.
Just before the Jieyin hand touched the bottle of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree...
An anomaly has occurred!
A subtle and extremely faint aura suddenly emanated from the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.
In an instant, all the divine sense and power released by the Jieyin were exhausted.
Not only that.
It was accompanied by a powerful thrust, sweeping outwards!
Jieyin's eyes flickered, and his heart skipped a beat!
Not good!
Before he could react...
That powerful impact.
It directly crashed into the body of the one who Jieyin!
Then—BOOM!
A tremendous roar suddenly resounded.
It was as if something had exploded from the body of the Jieyin.
He was unable to resist the sudden, sweeping force.
He was sent flying backwards!
His physical body streaked through the air and was flung heavily towards the pond!
An extremely heavy impact.
The Jieyin's face turned pale instantly.
My fingers trembled slightly due to the intense pain.
A burning, intense pain also emanated from the abdomen and chest directly opposite the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.
It was as if they had been struck by the attack power of Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!!
The Jieyin spirit also suffered an extremely severe impact.
The tremors continued.
My heart was filled with horror.
Jieyin wanted to quickly regain his balance.
However.
All of this was already too late.
The instant the Jieyin turned his head.
Before them lay a muddy mess and the excrement of monsters.
"I'm so angry!"
Bang!
Pfft!
Unsurprisingly, Jieyin stumbled Jieyin into the muddy pond.
In an instant, his body was mostly submerged in the thin mud!
Standing to the side, Zhunti was still pondering how to resolve the Zhunti the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.
They saw the Jieyin rushing headlong into the muddy pond.
I couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
"???"
"What's Senior Brother up to now?"
"Are they trying to run away?"
"But there's no need to run into a cesspool!"
