The Dragon Binding Rope as a dog leash; Zhunti comes knocking

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos finally left.

He left in a hurry, his face bearing a complex expression that Lin Tian couldn't decipher.

There was shock, confusion, doubt, and terror!

It was as if they had witnessed something extremely terrifying.

When leaving.

She didn't even dare to look back at him before hastily saying goodbye.

Lin Tian also found this somewhat strange.

"I really don't understand these four siblings anymore."

"What were you doing, staring blankly at the pond while holding that Golden Dou?"

"Do you think there's something strange about my pond?"

"Or is there something in that pond that frightened them?"

Lin Tian pursed his lips, not really caring.

He was leisurely consuming the elixir.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the long rope on the stone platform, his gaze sharpened slightly, and he asked suspiciously.

"Hmm? This rope is a little different from the previous one."

"System, can you tell if this long rope is a magical artifact or just a regular rope?"

Lin Tian's strength improved, and so did his perception.

The moment he caught a glimpse of the long rope out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a faint fluctuation within it.

However, that fluctuation was fleeting.

This is a feeling I've never had before.

This struck Lin Tian as odd.

However, as Lin Tian's voice faded...

The system's voice followed.

[Host, in your courtyard, this thing is just a long rope.]

Hearing the system's words.

Lin Tian was taken aback. This time, he immediately understood the ambiguity in the system's words.

"Just a rope in my yard?"

"If we take it out, then it's no longer a rope?"

[The host can give it a try; the system doesn't know either.]

"Try?"

"Try not to go out?"

[Yes]

Lin Tian looked up at the courtyard outside, then down at the long rope, and immediately curled his lip, saying speechlessly, "Forget it, too much trouble."

"Gongming comes from a poor family, so it's unlikely he could give you any good magic treasures."

"This long rope is probably just an ordinary rope."

Lin Tian casually picked up the long rope and toyed with it for a moment.

The rope was black, and looked somewhat like python skin.

It feels incredibly soft to the touch, yet it's also very resilient.

However, the spiritual energy that Lin Tian had sensed just now had completely vanished.

Realizing this,

Lin Tian's doubts were dispelled, but he still casually praised it.

"Even the ropes from the Primordial World are this advanced?"

"It feels really nice to touch."

"But now that I have this thing in my hands, what should I do with it?"

"We can't just leave him in some corner, can we?"

"If Fellow Gongming comes looking for me again and sees me again, he will probably be quite heartbroken."

Lin Tian muttered to himself, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"How about we use it to tie something up?"

With that thought in mind, Lin Tian immediately made this decision.

He casually slipped the rope into his sleeve, then planned to use his divine sense to float towards the next room.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Just then...

A wild beast's roar came from one side of the pond.

Lin Tian immediately looked in that direction.

Then I saw the Erha rolling around by the pond.

He was covered in mud.

"Is that silly dog playing in the mud again? Is mud really that fun??"

"It's genuine leather! Luckily, I'm too lazy to deal with it and don't let it into the house, otherwise it would tear the house apart, and it wouldn't be Erha anymore."

"He runs around everywhere in the yard, he's never well-behaved."

"He's made a complete mess of the pond. All the small fish we used to catch in it have been eaten by this little guy."

Lin Tian recalled some old events, and a novel idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

Lin Tian took out the long rope again and looked at the Erha beside him.

He muttered to himself involuntarily.

"I've tried tying it to a rope before, but it always gnaws through or bites through the rope. Nothing works."

"What a coincidence! Isn't this long rope a dog leash delivered right to our doorstep?"

"Since the Erha often runs around, wouldn't it be perfect to tie him up with this long rope and chain him right in front of this pavilion?"

Upon realizing this, Lin Tian's heart stirred.

Without any hesitation, he beckoned to the Erha.

"Erha, come here, you husky."

Hearing Lin Tian's call.

The Erha immediately rolled over and came running over happily, wagging its tail.

With its tongue sticking out, its eyes held a look of anticipation.

Covered in mud.

It came to Lin Tian's legs and rubbed against Lin Tian trouser leg back and forth.

It expresses their joyful emotions.

"I have a gift for you."

Seeing the Erha's excited expression, Lin Tian smiled and took out a long rope.

Erha: "..."

What a gift!

The Erha immediately understood what Lin Tian was going to do.

The next moment.

He was so scared that he turned tail and ran!

The little hooves stomped the ground back and forth, kicking up a lot of mud.

But his figure had already dashed off into the distance!

"Trying to run away?"

"Hehe!"

Lin Tian casually tossed the long rope out.

The long rope seemed to carry a natural sense of pressure, and its appearance immediately restricted the Erha's speed.

Before you know it, the Erha has its neck wrapped in a long rope.

"Roar..."

The Erha let out a low growl.

The small body was pulled back by the long rope.

Seeing this, Lin Tian tied the other end directly to a pillar on the side.

"Haha, that makes it safe."

"See if you'll still run around like that next time!"

The Erha lay on the ground in awe, its expression somewhat somber, its eyes flashing with humiliation.

With the long rope suppressing it, its aura was further suppressed to its lowest point.

However, Lin Tian didn't pay any attention to this.

Looking at the scenery outside, he sighed softly.

"At least you've finally behaved yourself."

"I can continue to lie here leisurely, finish this pill, and then it will be about time to start working on breaking through to a higher realm."

Lin Tian thought to himself.

He picked up the gourd and began to consume the pills.

What Lin Tian didn't know was...

Just as he was lying in the pavilion;

In the pond.

The crystal-clear pond was now emanating subtle spiritual energy.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, it transformed into a thin stream.

It darted into the Golden Dou by the pond.

It's unclear whether the Golden Dou goblet actively absorbed the energy or the pond automatically replenished its spiritual energy.

The gold Golden Dou originally had a dark gold appearance.

It gradually began to shine.

Meanwhile...

The Six Roots Pure Bamboo planted in the pond also quietly released some mysterious energy, which, along with the spiritual energy in the pond, drifted to the surface of the Golden Dou.

Two distinct auras intertwined and resonated with each other.

It's changing the quality of Golden Dou!

The Golden Dou rippled slightly.

A dramatic change began to take place within the Golden Dou.

A subtle, hidden power of law was faintly emerging from it!

And the changes in the Golden Dou.

Lin Tian didn't notice at all.

He simply lay lazily in the rocking chair, drinking tea and taking pills.

System notifications kept ringing in my ears.

Spend the day leisurely.

However, he had only been idling around for about two hours.

The system's voice suddenly came through.

But this time...

It is no longer a notification sound caused by an increase in spiritual energy.

[Host, please note that a monk who previously visited you is currently outside your courtyard, wishing to see you.]

[This person is anxious and agitated, suggesting they are hypocritical and deceitful, possessing great good intentions but lacking the heart to actually do good.]

[The system rates him as: a petty person]

[Would the host like to see me?]

Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Tian was immediately taken aback.

A petty person?

Has someone like that ever come looking for me?

Who is it?

A flicker of curiosity crossed my mind.

Lin Tian subconsciously opened his eyes.

Then they saw a monk dressed in tattered hemp robes standing in the courtyard, looking around.

His face was anxious.

They seemed somewhat eager to find something.

Upon seeing this person, Lin Tian immediately remembered.

"Isn't that the monk who came to my courtyard before? I think they're the ones who dropped that bamboo."

"Could it be that they've come looking for this bamboo?"
