Minghe Laozu looked at the Wind-Water Futon in his hand, still feeling uneasy.
"Fellow Daoist, why don't I trade with you!"
Minghe Laozu said, it was one portion of destiny promised, and he was taking two portions all to himself, which was too much of a gain at the other's expense.
Even though Minghe Laozu was accustomed to decisive and ruthless actions, he felt he had truly wronged Xu Fang, who was so generous.
"No need, fellow Daoist, just keep it."
Xu Fang waved his hand, this matter was settled, and he didn't want any further complications.
Minghe Laozu wanted to say something more, but Xu Fang glanced at the treasure map beside him and immediately spoke.
"Although the appearance of the treasure was concealed just now, the commotion was too great, and I'm afraid someone has already noticed."
"There's no time to explain, let's leave this place of trouble first!"
As Xu Fang spoke, he immediately put away his treasure and left quickly without hesitation.
Seeing this, everyone felt that what Xu Fang said made sense and quickly followed him.
As Xu Fang walked, he looked at the treasure rapidly approaching the location of the Four Symbols Banana Tree and sighed.
"As expected, heavenly will is hard to defy. Fortunately, I was a step ahead, otherwise not even dregs would be left."
At this moment, on the treasure map, the Coiling Dragon Staff, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the Qingping Sword were gathered together, heading towards the location of the Four Symbols Banana Tree. It was obvious that Taiqing Taishang had sensed the destiny and brought Yuanshi and Tongtian to seek treasure.
On the other side, the purplish-red gourd and the Earth Book also traveled together. It was not difficult to guess that it must be the Daoist Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, those good friends.
Their arrival this time was undoubtedly because they had sensed the connection with the Four Symbols Banana Tree and were following their senses to obtain the destiny.
As Xu Fang had predicted, not long after they left, the Three Pure Ones descended upon the place where the Four Symbols Banana Tree had just been. They looked at the huge pit on the ground and were dumbfounded.
"Eldest Brother, is this the destiny you sensed? A deep abyss, should we carry it back to Kunlun Mountain?"
Tongtian looked at the huge pit on the ground and couldn't help but complain.
Just now, Eldest Brother had spoken with great conviction, saying that he had sensed a destiny.
And when they arrived here, this was it?
Was this big pit the destiny?
"Tongtian, do not be rude! It seems someone has gotten ahead of us and snatched this destiny!"
Yuanshi reprimanded, then looked at Taishang.
"Eldest Brother, what should we do?"
As long as Eldest Brother could still sense the destiny, they could naturally pursue and reclaim the lost destiny.
After all, the Three Pure Ones were not famous for nothing. How could they allow someone to intercept their destiny and just let it go?
Taishang, upon hearing this, knew what Yuanshi meant and quickly closed his eyes to sense.
After sensing for a while, Taishang opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.
"Alas, I can no longer sense anything now. This destiny has truly fallen into someone else's hands."
Yuanshi and Tongtian heard this and didn't know what to say.
With their noble origins and immense abilities, it was the first time in their lives that someone had managed to intercept their destiny!
Moreover, even if they wanted to pursue now, they had no direction and could only swallow this loss in silence.
Looking at the huge pit on the ground, the Three Pure Ones were speechless. This creature was too thorough, leaving them not even a single hair?
Who exactly dug this big pit for them!
"I feel like I've seen this happen before. Fellow Daoist Xu Fang seems to like digging up spirit roots!"
Tongtian looked at the big pit and remembered Xu Fang's heroic posture of digging up the Innate Gourd Vine, suspecting if Xu Fang was responsible.
Before Taishang could speak, Yuanshi spoke first.
"You are mistaken. Fellow Daoist Xu Fang's background and origins are not great, but he is so generous and magnanimous. This matter is definitely not his doing."
Although Yuanshi looked down on Xu Fang's humble origins, he greatly admired Xu Fang's straightforwardness. He gave away the Innate Gourd as soon as he said it. Was he the kind of person who would do things so thoroughly?
Taishang also nodded, agreeing with Yuanshi's statement.
The Three Pure Ones were again speechless, pondering who could have done such a heinous thing, not only getting ahead of them but also being so thorough.
Just then, two voices sounded.
"Hongyun, hurry up, my destiny is near!"
"Alright, alright, I've been following all along and never fallen behind. Just keep following your senses!"
Hearing these two voices, the Three Pure Ones immediately knew who was coming. It seemed that Zhenyuanzi had also sensed the destiny here.
The Three Pure Ones couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Alright, now it wasn't just the Three Pure Ones who were troubled; soon, two more depressed beings would be added!
With the treasure map, Xu Fang of course did not meet up with the Three Pure Ones and Zhenyuanzi, perfectly avoiding them. At this moment, the group had completely distanced themselves from the place of trouble.
Xu Fang looked back, seeing that the distance was already very far, and relaxed.
He glanced at the treasure map beside him. The Coiling Dragon Staff, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the Qingping Sword, the purplish-red gourd, and the Earth Book were all piled together. Xu Fang couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
With so many magical treasures gathered together, anyone would think they were watching a gala performance!
However, this also meant that he had truly grasped the destiny of the Four Symbols Banana Tree, and the Three Pure Ones and others should be feeling extremely frustrated right now.
Minghe Laozu saw Xu Fang stop and quickly walked over, saying.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for bestowing this treasure. Minghe is eternally grateful. If you ever need Minghe's help in the future, don't hesitate!"
"You're welcome, we are all in the Great Desolation, just helping each other."
Xu Fang cupped his hands in return. If it weren't for Minghe Laozu helping him conceal the heavenly secrets, the destiny of the Four Symbols Banana Tree might not have been so easily obtained.
"Not at all, it is fellow Daoist's righteousness that prevails!"
Minghe Laozu said emotionally. Xu Fang was truly a unique individual in his life. Everyone else fought and killed for destiny, but he, on the other hand, refused it himself and insisted on giving it away.
It made a person like Minghe Laozu, who was always shouting about fighting and killing, feel immense guilt.
"Fellow Daoist, if you have time in the future, please visit the Sea of Blood. I bid you farewell!"
As Minghe Laozu spoke, he cupped his hands to the people present and took his leave.
Everyone cupped their hands in return and watched Minghe Laozu disappear around the mountain corner.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue waved goodbye to Minghe Laozu, then turned to look at Xu Fang with smiles.
"Senior, we've reunited!"
"Yes, Senior, where are we going to seek treasure this time?"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue were eager, looking at Xu Fang with anticipation.
Kong Xuan saw this and indicated that he was used to it and they should ignore him; he would just be a transparent elder brother.
"You all!"
Xu Fang smiled and was about to use his so-called divine ability to sense treasures to decide the direction of the next stop.
However, Xu Fang soon remembered something.
"By the way, Da Peng, how did you break through?"
