"Thank you, Senior. We are willing to pledge our loyalty to Senior!"
Pan Yue and the others were overjoyed. Being able to pledge their loyalty to someone as powerful as Xiao Hua naturally brought them many benefits.
However, Xiao Hua frowned again and said with difficulty, "But the problem is that even if this old man wants to protect all of you, there are still many defensive formations in the Jade Pavilion Gathering. Even if all of you stay close to this old man, this old man doesn't have much confidence …"
"Senior …" A Golden Core cultivator saw that Xiao Hua was in a difficult position and said in a low voice, "Senior, don't you have the Nation Treasure?
That thing can be used to suppress cultivators of our generation, so it can naturally contain us. It won't be too late to let us out after Senior leaves the Jade Pavilion Conference! "
In fact, Xiao Hua originally wanted to let them enter his Qiankun Bag or Spirit Storage Bag, but after hearing this Golden Core cultivator's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you all!"
"Daoist Master Xiao …" Xu Tingzi opened his eyes and hurriedly called out, "You should also suppress I. Why do I feel like I won't be able to last until the Jade Pavilion Conference ends with my injuries?"
"That's fine!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "As long as Fellow Daoist doesn't worry, I can enter."
Xu Tingzi's words were half a joke. After all, once he entered the Mountain and River Seal, his entire life would be in Xiao Hua's hands. No matter what Xiao Hua did to him, he wouldn't be able to resist.
However, when Xu Tingzi heard Xiao Hua's straightforward answer and thought about his impression of Xiao Hua in this short period of time, he couldn't help but be tempted.
After Xiao Hua finished speaking with Xu Tingzi, he raised his hand and took out nine medicinal pills. He handed them to Pan Yue and the others and said, "These are the medicinal pills that I used before. They should be able to help you all condense your Golden Cores. Take them now, and after I put you all into the Mountain and River Seal, you can take advantage of this time to cultivate!"
"Condense … Condense Golden Cores?"
Pan Yue and the others could not believe their ears. They all carefully received the Mountain River Seal and hurriedly put it into the air. Xiao Hua did not hold back and had Dragon Vein Xiao Hua use the Mountain River Seal to 'suppress' the nine people inside.
Xu Tingzi was moved. Although Xiao Hua didn't say who refined this pill, Xu Tingzi had never heard of any famous alchemist in the Hidden Immortal Continent who could refine this legendary pill. Even if Xiao Hua didn't know how to refine pills, if Xiao Hua was able to get acquainted with this kind of person, he would definitely be able to gain some benefits if he befriended Xiao Hua.
Therefore, without waiting for Xiao Hua to speak, Xu Tingzi took the initiative and said with a smile, "Daoist Master Xiao, there is also I. Don't forget."
"Is Fellow Daoist really willing?" Xiao Hua smiled meaningfully. "I thought Fellow Daoist was just joking."
"Sigh, didn't Daoist Master Xiao say it already?
Good people have good karma. I just did a good deed. Spiritual Master, you should let I have a good karma, right? "Xu Tingzi blinked his eyes and smiled.
When Xiao Hua heard this, he nodded solemnly and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. I won't disappoint you!"
"Many thanks, Daoist Master Xiao!" Ever since Xu Tingzi woke up, he had been calling Xiao Hua "Daoist Master Xiao" instead of "Fellow Daoist Xiao".
Dragon Vein Xiao Hua activated the Mountain and River Seal. Just as he was about to put Xu Tingzi away, Xu Tingzi suddenly shouted, "Daoist Master Xiao, please wait!"
"Oh?" Xiao Hua said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Fellow Daoist, are you regretting it?"
"No!"
Xu Tingzi waved his hand. "Previously, inside the defensive formation, I saw two strange things. Now that I suddenly remembered, I have to remind Daoist Master!"
"Fellow Daoist, please speak."
Xiao Hua was bewildered. After hearing Xu Tingzi talk about the two Nascent Soul cultivators' Nascent Souls disappearing after their deaths, he asked again, "Then … Fellow Daoist, do you know if such strange things happened in the Jade Pavilion Gathering?"
Xu Tingzi shook his head slightly. "This … I don't know.
However, from what I know, it doesn't seem to be the case.
Of course, it's said that there are many defensive formations in the Jade Pavilion Gathering, and every defensive formation is different. Perhaps the defensive formation we fell into is different from the others! "
"En, I understand. I'll pay attention!" Xiao Hua temporarily suppressed his doubts and said, "Fellow Daoist, you should go back and cultivate!"
As he spoke, he activated the Mountain and River Seal and "suppressed" Xu Tingzi.
After putting everyone away, Xiao Hua looked at the Mountain and River Seal in his hand and smiled. This Mountain and River Seal was actually a bit similar to a Cosmos Bag, but the space inside was much larger. Putting people into a Cosmos Bag sounded very disgusting, but if it was put into the Mountain and River Seal, it sounded more comfortable. However, in reality, what was the difference?
It wasn't as comfortable as his own space!
"A nation weapon, a nation weapon!
A nation weapon, how interesting! "
Xiao Hua spun the Mountain and River Seal in his hand and put it back into his meridians. He looked up at the clear sky and muttered, "Damn it, Li wanted me to keep a low profile, but I broke a Celestial Lord's defensive formation as soon as I arrived and even killed a Celestial Lord. How can I keep a low profile in the future?
Now that the defensive formation is broken and the Celestial Lord is dead, Kong Hongwu will fly into a rage!
I really don't know what methods he'll use to deal with me!
It seems … that he won't rest until he's dead!
It's time for me to change my appearance … "
On the Jade Mountain, within the Celestial Lord Palace, there was a huge space. Kong Hongwu was standing in the starry sky with his hands behind his back. Behind Kong Hongwu were a boy and a girl. They each held a flute and a sword in their hands as they stood there respectfully. However, the two boys' gazes were different from Kong Hongwu's.
Kong Hongwu narrowed his eyes as if he had a card up his sleeve. As for the two boys, they looked at the starry sky below them without blinking, their faces filled with anticipation.
The stars in the starry sky were dazzling, and each star flickered with a different brilliance. Aside from the ordinary brilliance, there was also a faint mist. This mist was either like a thin thread or like cotton. It was actually different.
However, if one looked carefully, they would be able to see the strangeness of the starry sky.
Although there were many formations in the starry sky, they were sparse. It was far from being as dense as the real starry sky. Moreover, there were only a few dozen stars that could be considered dense. The brilliance of these stars linked together, and they were either shaped like a rooster or a black bear. It was very dazzling. If Xiao Hua was here, he would definitely be able to tell that there were exactly 73 stars in these dozens of spots. They were the 73 Lunar Mansions.
There was another special place in the starry sky. Under the starry sky, there was something that looked like a long river. This thing seemed to hold up the entire starry sky. Above the long river, there were layers of purple clouds. Between the layers, there were mountains, ridges, long rivers, streams, and so on. Occasionally, the shadows of cities and farmhouses could be seen.
Suddenly, on a star that was not shining brightly, a small light dust fell like a meteor. This light dust fell into the long river under the starry sky. At the same time, a thin white line rushed out from the long river and caught the light dust. When the light dust fell into the long river, it did not cause any splashes.
"80 …" The girl was quick to speak and hurriedly shouted: "Palace Master, 80 have already appeared."
"Hmm …" Kong Hongwu faintly replied. His brows slightly furrowed, as if he was not very happy.
The girl's pearl-like eyes turned slightly and she smiled: "Palace Master, what is this thing?
How come I have not seen it in the previous Jade Pavilion Conference?
It's really fun. "
"Hehe, fun?"
Kong Hongwu opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He said: "In this world, the most beautiful thing is to sit and watch the clouds rise and fall. The most calming thing is to wait for the flowers to bloom and wilt. In this world, the most satisfying thing is to control the life and death of others."
The two children were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and did not know what to say. The boy thought for a moment and asked: "Palace Master, when the Dragon Gate was opened, I saw Huo De Daoist rush into the Dragon Gate. He … why did he participate in the Jade Pavilion Conference?
Did he think that the reward from Palace Master was not enough and came to my Jade Mountain to pick spirit herbs?
He is really too greedy! "
"Hmph …" Hearing the mention of Huo De Daoist, a layer of anger appeared on Kong Hongwu's face. He slightly nodded and said: "Yes, he is indeed too greedy!
Little Yun, remember, people die for wealth and birds die for food. This is an old saying that describes human greed!
Since ancient times, who knows how many people have died because of this sentence.
Little Huo De is not walking the Dragon Gate, it is a dead end!
Don't be greedy in the future. "
The boy named Little Yun hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, Palace Master, I will remember.
I can get whatever I want in front of Palace Master, I won't be greedy. "
Kong Hongwu smiled and looked at Little Yun: "You are still young, how can you know how big the temptation of this world is?
Do you think those Dao Sect cultivators who came to participate in the Jade Pavilion Conference don't know the disadvantages of greed?
Do you think they didn't say such words in the past?
Greed is the biggest enemy in life … "
"Palace Master, look, there is a lot of light dust falling …" While speaking, the girl jumped up and clapped her hands, saying: "So beautiful, just like fireworks!"
Kong Hongwu raised his head and looked. Sure enough, there was a snake-shaped star flashing with extremely brilliant brilliance. Under that brilliance, dozens of light dust fell one after another. Above the long river, there was a rushing filament that pulled these light dust into the river. Kong Hongwu unconsciously showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"There … there is also that one!"
Little Yun was not to be outdone. He also pointed at a tiger-like star and shouted: "And there are more fireworks, more beautiful …"
Before the little girl could take it out, the starry sky was filled with specks of light dust. There were more and less specks of light dust, and they were exceptionally bright. This caused the corners of Kong Hongwu's mouth to curl up again, and he looked very proud.
But when Kong Hongwu slightly lowered his head and was about to squint his eyes, suddenly, at the place where the previous star was, the whole star rushed out a few feet of starlight. Near the star, there was a dragon-shaped star river that fiercely rotated and crashed into the star …
