How Should We Thank Eldest Senior Brother?
"Buzz!"
Upon hearing Lin Yunji's words, the Three Xiao Sisters and Zhao Gongming and the other members of the Jun family trembled, their faces showing obvious fear.
It's obvious!
Before even entering the Three Pure Ones Hall, they had already seen the rather terrifying array outside!
They also heard True Person Huanglong's screams from time to time, which were quite eerie!
Therefore, when Lin Yunji mentioned that great formation and explained it so clearly, the way he looked at him changed.
Then, remembering that Lin Yunji had previously said he was unpredictable, it was likely that True Person Huanglong had somehow offended him, causing him to create this great formation that trapped True Person Huanglong inside.
They don't want to go through that terrible torture!
"Splash!"
In an instant, led by Daoist Duobao, all the disciples dispersed.
But three beautiful figures still stood in the main hall; they were the Three Xiao Sisters of Sanxiao who had not yet left.
"What's wrong? Do you think I'm joking?" Lin Yunji looked at the Three Xiao Sisters with a half-smile, his expression quite intriguing.
"Boom!"
At the same time, he flipped his wrist, and a miniature array appeared on his palm, its patterns intertwined, looking quite profound.
No, no, no!
Seeing Lin Yunji like this, Bixiao was startled. Her fluffy little head shook like a rattle drum, her little face full of anxiety.
They were afraid that Lin Yunji would misunderstand their meaning, and also afraid that he would throw down the formation and trap them all inside, causing them unnecessary suffering.
"Senior Brother, we've come to thank you!" Yunxiao said hurriedly, glancing at the great formation with considerable apprehension before averting her gaze in fear.
"Really? You're thanking me, huh?" He suddenly laughed.
Lin Yunji clenched his fist, and the great formation vanished from his hand.
"Yes! Senior Brother, do you remember when you met us three sisters on a fairy island? At that time, you gave us three Purple Heart Azure Firmament Fruit. Thanks to the spiritual fruits you gave us, my eldest sister, second sister, and I were able to cultivate so quickly and our realms rose so fast!"
Seeing Lin Yunji put away the great formation, Bixiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and let out a long sigh of relief before explaining the whole story to Lin Yunji.
"I see!"
Following Bixiao's actions, Lin Yun glanced over there, rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but tease, "So, tell me, how do you plan to thank me?"
The Three Xiao Sisters: "..."
Hearing Lin Yunji's words, they were momentarily confused and unsure how to respond.
How should I thank him for this?
They really hadn't thought about it seriously.
In their minds, isn't expressing gratitude simply saying thank you formally in person? Does it require some tangible gift?
Most importantly, they weren't prepared!
How are they supposed to come up with that?!
So, at this moment, the Three Xiao Sisters couldn't help but blush. They all bit their bright red lips and stammered for a long time without saying a word.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Qiongxiao had a sudden thought, as if she had come up with something, and with a wave of her hand, she summoned a treasure that emitted a shimmering light.
It was a bucket radiating golden light.
"Senior Brother, I don't have any other treasures. The most powerful thing I have is this Hunyuan Golden Dipper that Master gave me. Consider it a thank-you gift!" Qiongxiao opened her mouth, her voice clear and melodious.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
As soon as Qiongxiao finished speaking, Yunxiao and Bixiao exchanged a glance, and their eyes lit up.
Then they all unleashed their Law Treasure.
"Senior Brother, these are the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors that Master gave me before! I'm giving them to you as a token of my gratitude!"
"This is the Dragon-Binding Rope that my master gave me!"
Lin Yunji: "..."
Looking at the three treasures floating in the sky, he was speechless.
What kind of mess is this?!
Actually, it's not entirely their fault. After all, in their hearts, these three treasures are the only things they can truly be proud of.
"Since Master gave these to you for self-defense, why are you giving them to me? Aren't you afraid Master will blame us if he finds out?"
Lin Yunji looked at the three sisters of Three Xiaos in front of him, who were looking very serious, and didn't know what to say.
Do you think I, as the senior disciple, would lack treasures?
"But... but we don't have anything else to give you!" Bixiao pouted, looking very aggrieved.
"Then, Senior Brother, how about this? If we find a good Law Treasure in the future, we'll give it to you, okay?" Yunxiao's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said somewhat uncertainly.
"Senior Brother, we really want to thank you!" Qiongxiao, who was not usually talkative, still blushed slightly as she said this.
Seeing their reaction, Lin Yunji decided not to tease them anymore.
These three little girls are truly innocent and naive; their little thoughts are written all over their faces.
He felt bad if he continued to make such jokes.
Lin Yunji, feeling rather bored, waved his hand at the sisters and said, "If you haven't figured out how to thank me, wait until you have. Now go and cultivate properly!"
"Okay... okay!" The Three Xiao Sisters had no choice but to agree, nodding in acceptance.
Then, they left the Three Pure Ones Hall together.
"You brat, it's one thing to not want to give them treasures, but you even had to tease your junior sisters! Is this how you act as the senior brother?" The Cult Master Tongtian glared at Lin Yunji only after the Three Xiao Sisters left.
"I don't know what my senior brother is like, but I do know that you old man are really a chatterbox!"
"You brat! Don't you dare run away..."
"Boom!"
Just as the Cult Master Tongtian was about to argue with him in a fit of rage, Lin Yunji had already flashed to the square of the Three Pure Ones Hall.
Before the main hall, the pitiful wails of True Person Huanglong could still be heard intermittently within the great formation.
He was covered in blood, with not a single unscathed spot on his body, indicating he had suffered severe injuries.
However, the truth is that his injuries only looked terrible and were merely external wounds; they did not cause any damage to his body.
When True Person Huanglong saw Lin Yunji appear before the great formation, he hurriedly shouted, "Senior Brother! Please forgive me! I really, really won't do it again! I was wrong, Senior Brother!"
"Is that so? Then tell me where you went wrong?" Lin Yunji stopped and looked at True Person Huanglong in the great formation, and smiled slightly.
"I... I was wrong to scream so disgustingly when you beat me up..."
"I shouldn't have told you to beat me up as much as you want..."
"I... I shouldn't have..." True Person Huanglong didn't know what to say next, and could only keep begging for forgiveness. "Alas, Senior Brother, I was wrong in everything! I really know I was wrong!"
"Boom!"
Just as True Person Huanglong finished speaking, Lin Yunji reached out and grabbed the great formation, easily taking it in his hand despite its weakened state.
In an instant, True Person Huanglong seemed to be reborn. He sprang up from the ground, and his expression relaxed.
Clearly, he had only suffered some physical pain. Now that the formation had disappeared, he didn't even have a lapse in his breathing. He knelt upright before Lin Yunji and said, "Hehehe, thank you for removing the formation, Senior Brother!"
True Person Huanglong grinned at Lin Yunji, then used his Law Power to heal the wounds on his body.
Seeing him like this, Lin Yunji couldn't help but wonder if his previous miserable howls were all an act!
"Let's see if you'll still howl like that next time! If there's a next time..." Lin Yunji looked at his outstretched hand, which faintly resembled a large formation, "I won't let you experience this formation again, it's too childish! Next time I'll drag you to block the sea eye!"
"No, no!"
Upon hearing Lin Yunji's words, True Person Huanglong shook his head repeatedly and hurriedly promised, "Next time I ask my senior brother to beat me up, I absolutely, positively won't make a sound! I'll definitely keep my mouth shut tight!"
Lin Yunji: "..."
This is truly a bizarre case!
Is he still thinking about beating him up next time?
So, in his mind, letting Lin Yunji continue to beat him up was the real priority!
"Let's go, let's go!" Lin Yunji waved his hand, already somewhat speechless.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" True Person Huanglong replied honestly and prepared to leave.
But soon, he froze on the spot.
Because when he circulated his internal Law Power, he quickly healed the injuries on the surface of his body. Then he was surprised to find that he had not only successfully consolidated his physical strength after the breakthrough, but also seemed to be even stronger than before.
The grand formation that Lin Yunji set up for him seemed to be helping him consolidate his cultivation level, just as he had said!
Those flying wind blades, burning earth fire, and thunderbolts were truly tempering his physical body, helping him to consolidate and improve.
"Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother!!! Awooo!!"
After experiencing the fact that his physical strength had truly become stronger, True Person Huanglong suddenly roared, his voice shaking the heavens and the earth.
This startled many birds and beasts in the Kunlun Mountain.
"Smack!"
No sooner had True Person Huanglong finished speaking than Lin Yunji slapped him on the back of the head.
Lin Yunji snapped at him without any politeness, "Why are you yelling all of a sudden? Who are you trying to scare!"
No, no!
Unexpectedly, True Person Huanglong shook his head hastily and said to Lin Yunji with an anxious expression, "Senior Brother, hurry up, quickly use the great formation to continue punishing me!"
"???"
Lin Yunji felt like he'd gone mad!
True Person Huanglong naturally noticed Lin Yunji's gaze and quickly explained, "I just discovered that my physical strength has increased significantly! This must be related to your great formation, Senior Brother! So, Senior Brother, please continue to punish me with the great formation!"
Lin Yunji couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at True Person Huanglong's anxious eyes.
He absolutely had to agree to these strange requests!
"Boom!"
Without hesitation, Lin Yunji unleashed a powerful array that enveloped True Person Huanglong. This array was even more powerful than the previous Wind and Thunder Divine Formation!
"Awooo!!!"
Suddenly, True Person Huanglong's miserable screams rang out from within the magic array, truly pitiful!
But Lin Yunji ignored him and instead turned around and went down the mountain.
"Swish swish swish!"
Four figures reappeared outside the Three Pure Ones Hall some time after Lin Yunji left.
These were the four disciples: Juliusun, True Person Yuding, Guangchengzi, and True Person Taiyi.
Hearing the occasional screams of True Person Huanglong, the four of them turned pale and swallowed hard.
His eyes were filled with fear and apprehension.
"This is too ruthless!" Guangchengzi muttered, looking in the direction of the great formation.
"That's ruthless!"
True Person Taiyi nodded and said, "Brother Huanglong is truly pitiful. He knows perfectly well that Senior Brother is capricious and not to be trifled with. He finally mustered the courage to release him from that great formation, but why doesn't he learn his lesson? He insisted on yelling at him!"
"Sigh! Junior Brother Huanglong is too honest. He doesn't understand that even if he has grievances, he should just keep them to himself!"
But at this moment, True Person Yuding frowned and hesitated, saying, "Something's not right. Listen to the way Junior Brother Huanglong is shouting. It doesn't sound quite right. If you listen carefully, it actually sounds like... a bit... excited and thrilled?"
"???"
Hearing him say that, Guangchengzi and the others were completely bewildered.
What's going on?
Despite enduring inhuman torture, he seemed to have gained some benefit that only he could understand...
"Could it be that Senior Brother Huanglong's Dao heart is unstable due to being tormented by this great formation, thus creating a demon in his heart? Is that why he is now, becoming happier and more excited the more he is tormented?" Juliusun was extremely puzzled and analyzed in front of him.
"How dare you speak like that?" Hearing his words, Guangchengzi's gaze sharpened as he said, "Although our senior brother is said to be capricious and often beats us, he truly cares about us. When has he ever failed to earnestly explain our doubts? How could he possibly harm our very foundation?"
"Hehehe, I was just saying! Don't take it seriously!" Juliusun was scolded, but he just laughed it off.
"Junior Brother Huanglong, how do you feel in this great formation?" True Person Yuding stopped guessing and directly asked True Person Huanglong in a loud voice.
"Hahaha, it feels amazing! Absolutely fantastic!"
At this moment, True Person Huanglong's loud laughter came from within the great formation. "Here, with every strike of the wind blades, the burning of the earth fire, and the bombardment of the purple lightning, my physical strength increases..."
"Ah!!!"
His next words were immediately replaced by screams.
Guangchengzi and the others. "..."
Meanwhile, the Three Xiao Sisters also found a suitable cave abode in the Kunlun Mountain and prepared to settle down.
But they didn't show a smile on their faces; instead, their expressions remained visibly sorrowful.
They are still thinking about how to thank Lin Yunji.
They had discussed it beforehand, but hadn't reached any conclusion.
Just as they entered the new cave abode, Bixiao's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something. "I've got an idea, eldest sister, second sister!"
"What did you think of?" Yunxiao asked.
"Hehehe, I think I know what we should do!" Bixiao's eyes curved into crescent moons with laughter, and she couldn't help but let out a string of silver bell-like laughs.
"What should we do?" Yunxiao was even more puzzled.
"I think I just saw my eldest brother's gaze... glance at this spot of mine for a second while in the Three Pure Ones Hall!"
