Shocked!
Horrified!
In disbelief!
...
Daoist Jin Mo's eyes widened, staring at the tender sprout with disbelief. He didn't recognize its origin, but his intuition told him it was extraordinary!
Then he saw the senior holding a piece of beast hide in his left hand.
Daoist Jin Mo remembered that it was this beast hide that had unleashed the boundless "Starry Spiritual Light"!
Starry Spiritual Light!
In the "Heavenly Mystery Sacred Land," it was a grand opportunity! An opportunity ordinary cultivators couldn't even dream of!
But here, with the senior, it was abundant, served in large portions, as much as one desired!
Daoist Jin Mo's heart trembled.
He seemed to sense the aura of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure from the plain beast hide.
A Primordial Spiritual Treasure!
Something Daoist Jin Mo wouldn't even dare to imagine in his wildest dreams!
Daoist Jin Mo's legs went weak, and he nearly fell to his knees.
Just then, he heard a playful sound.
"Daddy, s-so fun, Daddy..."
Where was this child's voice coming from?
Daoist Jin Mo instinctively scanned his surroundings.
Holy cow!
He almost jumped out of his skin in fright.
What did he see?
A ginseng, a lingzhi, a he shou wu...
These weren't the main point!
The main point was, these three things... could talk!
That's right!
They could talk!
Spiritual medicines talking? This was unscientific!
Daoist Jin Mo was greatly shocked, his little heart couldn't take it!
...
Witnessing the "magic" around Hao Ren, Hao Ren's image in Daoist Jin Mo's mind became even more powerful, mysterious, and unfathomable...
At this point, if Hao Ren had told Daoist Jin Mo he was a reincarnation of the "Dao Ancestor," Daoist Jin Mo would have believed him!
The senior is amazing!
[Ding! Your friend "Daoist Jin Mo" has increased his favorability towards you by +999999, current favorability: Five Stars (Life and Death Comrade)]
[Ding! Your friend "Daoist Jin Mo" is internally exclaiming: The senior is terrifying, truly terrifying...]
Hao Ren chuckled, very satisfied with this display of swagger!
The highest realm of swagger, "invisible swagger"!
He hadn't said a word, nor made a single move, but the presentation was "profoundly mysterious."
The Primordial Spiritual Being - Tender Sprout of the Wutong Divine Tree!
Fragment of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure - Eastern Star Chart!
Top-tier Spiritual Spring Eye!
Heaven Generates Water!
The talking "Three Treasures of Spiritual Medicine"!
...
Any one of these items, if revealed, could shake the world!
Hao Ren, however, had them casually placed in his cave.
His prestige instantly maxed out!
As expected, Daoist Jin Mo was conquered!
If Hao Ren ordered him to kneel and sing "Conquer" right now, Daoist Jin Mo would definitely bellow it out with his hoarse voice...
"Senior, thank you for your guidance!"
Daoist Jin Mo's tone was filled with respect and admiration.
His gratitude towards Hao Ren was heartfelt!
Thanks to Hao Ren's guidance, he had not only advanced two levels, breaking through to the "Late Nascent Soul stage."
This cultivation level was considered top-tier within their "Heavenly Mystery Sacred Land."
Upon returning, Daoist Jin Mo might even advance further, from "Great Elder" to "Supreme Elder."
Joining the "Supreme Elder Council" had always been Daoist Jin Mo's lifelong dream, and he never expected it to be realized so soon!
Furthermore, Daoist Jin Mo had comprehended an incredibly powerful divine ability - "Great True Word Curse"!
With this divine ability, Daoist Jin Mo's combat power soared, making him capable of contending with cultivators at the "Great Perfection Nascent Soul stage."
Even within the "Supreme Elder Council," he would be considered top-tier combat strength!
With such achievements, how could Daoist Jin Mo not be filled with tearful gratitude towards Hao Ren?
"Your great kindness, this humble Taoist is willing to repay you by tying grass to your stirrup and serving as your ox or horse!"
Hao Ren's heart stirred upon hearing this.
Ah, not bad!
This old Daoist Jin Mo, despite his initial pronouncements of "boundless magic power," was still a very respectable "Nascent Soul big shot" when he wasn't speaking.
In the future, when "Green Sword Immortal" attacks, he could instigate old Daoist Jin Mo to help get rid of "Green Sword Immortal."
Heh heh heh... I'm a genius!
Hao Ren secretly chuckled with pride.
He gave his "genius idea" 10086 thumbs up!
Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Your friend "Yun Tianzhong" has once again participated in the "潛龍榜 selection competition"...]
...
Heavenly Mystery Sacred Land.
Three months later, the "潛龍榜 selection competition" finally concluded its break and resumed.
The start was, as always, the "ranking matches."
Yun Tianzhong's "Lucky Squad" had now become a "star squad," a focus of much attention.
Every time they entered a competition, the area below the stage was packed, a sea of people.
The cheering squad, led by the short, stout Taoist, shouted loudly to encourage and support the "Lucky Squad."
Representatives from the five great sacred lands would also attend each time.
Representatives from other sacred lands observed the "Lucky Squad" with curious eyes.
This squad, single-handedly, had nearly overturned the "ruling power" of the five great sacred lands, making them truly interesting!
As for the representative of the "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land," they would gnash their teeth each time, their eyes filled with venom, hating them to the bone.
If looks could kill, Yun Tianzhong and his teammates would have been killed a hundred times over.
Regarding this, Yun Tianzhong and the others were not too concerned, their energy focused entirely on the competition.
Speaking of which, since the "group stage," there had been constant disruptions, and they still hadn't had a proper match. They hoped the "ranking matches" wouldn't be plagued by further mishaps!
Both Yun Tianzhong and Yun Tiankong wanted to have a fair fight.
Then...
Their first match, once again, had a problem.
The three cultivators on the opposing side were "undercover" demonic path evil cultivators. They were participating in the "潛龍榜 selection competition" this time to gain a spot in the "Cave Profound Secret Realm."
These three "evil cultivators" had been hiding themselves well.
Just as they ascended the stage for the match, their "disguise restrictions" suddenly failed.
Thus, these three "evil cultivators" were exposed without reservation to the eyes of countless righteous cultivators.
The "evil cultivator" leading them burst into tears at that moment.
He remembered that before they left, their sect leader had proudly told them: "My restrictions have a cross-era significance, with a failure rate of only one in a million, they will absolutely not be exposed..."
A failure rate of one in a million!
Infinitely close to zero!
Then, the three of them simultaneously and "splendidly" fell victim.
Unexpected, weren't they!
Surprising, weren't they!
Following that, these three "evil cultivators," without even a chance to leave a final word, were instantly reduced to ashes by a barrage of powerful techniques unleashed by numerous righteous cultivators overflowing with a sense of justice.
The "Lucky Squad" was lucky once again!
Yun Tianzhong
＿｜￣｜●
Defeated, my heart is so tired!
Yun Tianzhong: I just want to have a good match, why is it so difficult?
Yun Tiankong: Yes, yes, why can't we have a proper match?
Yun Tianzhong: Dear brother, what you said is so good, please stop saying it in the future...
It's all because of you, okay!
Yun Tianzhong, my heart is so tired!
