Zuo Linqi.
Sect Master of the "Hengshui Sect."
The "Hengshui Sect" was a third-rate, inconspicuous minor cultivation sect in the "Donghuang Mountain Range."
However, Zuo Linqi was, after all, the Sect Master of a faction, holding some status and renown.
What was he doing now?
Patrolling!
A group of "family prodigies" frowned one after another.
What trick was this?
The "contempt" in their hearts grew even stronger.
Alas, such a remote and impoverished place as the "Donghuang Mountain Range" was indeed without prospects!
Ouyang Hao urged his flying sword, transforming into a rainbow, and flew forward.
As a "family prodigy," Ouyang Hao's strength was considerable.
He himself was at the "Golden Core Great Perfection realm."
His family had bestowed upon him a third-grade flying magic treasure, the "Blazing Sun Flying Sword."
This further made him "a tiger with wings!"
Among the younger generation of the "Tianji Holy Land," Ouyang Hao was considered an outstanding figure.
This time, he led the delegation to the "Donghuang Mountain Range" to deliver invitations, along with another cultivator named "Sima Longgen."
Ouyang Hao's speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the edge of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
He prepared to halt his flying sword.
Just then.
A gentle breeze blew past.
Faintly mixed with it was a cold, fine rain.
Ouyang Hao shivered, feeling a chill all over his body.
Strange, it wasn't raining at all...
As Ouyang Hao thought this, his "Blazing Sun Flying Sword" beneath him suddenly lost all its spiritual light, as if "instantly sealed."
What the hell?
Before Ouyang Hao could react, the "Blazing Sun Flying Sword," like a piece of scrap iron, plummeted from the sky, taking him with it.
Bang!
Ouyang Hao landed on his rear, taking a "big tumble."
He was completely "dumbfounded."
What was going on?
Why had his perfectly good flying sword "malfunctioned"?
Ouyang Hao instinctively picked up the "Blazing Sun Flying Sword" beside him. At this moment, the sword had already regained its spiritual light, showing no abnormality.
The "malfunction incident" that had just occurred seemed like a mere "illusion."
Uh...
Not an illusion!
Ouyang Hao's lips twitched. He was currently sitting on the ground, his backside burning with pain.
An "accident" had just happened, and he had fallen heavily.
Damn it!
What the heck was going on?
Ouyang Hao felt that this incident was filled with strangeness!
At this moment, a group of "Golden Core cultivators on patrol," led by Zuo Linqi, approached.
Zuo Linqi glanced at Ouyang Hao and immediately recognized his identity.
"This aura, this attire, you must be a disciple of the Tianji Holy Land, right? The Tianji Holy Land is quite decent. Next time, remember not to fly your sword here!"
Hey, hey, hey!
Ouyang Hao's eyes widened. What did that mean?
Those words sounded as if... the "accident" just now was caused by you!
No way, impossible!
I didn't feel anyone make a move against me!
At this moment, Ouyang Hao did not notice that not far behind Zuo Linqi, a cold female cultivator was looking this way with a frosty gaze.
Leng Qingqiu.
At the late Golden Core realm!
A loyal fan of "a certain senior"!
She had extremely high comprehension and had already mastered three divine abilities through "movies"!
Her third divine ability was the most peculiar, and its name was very poetic – "Misty Rain Locks Jiangnan"!
This divine ability could be called an "ace control-type skill"!
It did not target the cultivator themselves but suppressed the spiritual essence of magical treasures, causing them to temporarily "malfunction."
The recent malfunction of Ouyang Hao's "Blazing Sun Flying Sword" was not an accident but a result of Leng Qingqiu's intervention.
Leng Qingqiu absolutely would not allow anyone to fly within the territory of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest"; this was an insult to the senior!
As a devoted fan of "a certain senior," Leng Qingqiu did not care about the other party's status. Those who dared to offend the senior would receive a warning the first time and be executed the second!
Ouyang Hao, completely unaware, had just narrowly escaped death.
He looked at Zuo Linqi and the others, and his "sense of superiority" returned.
This time, the "Five Great Holy Lands" had been extremely "sincere" in compensating the various sects and factions for their losses in the "Dongxuan Secret Realm"!
Each "invitation" came with a "gift."
A "Golden Yuan Pill"!
The "Golden Yuan Pill" was well-known in the cultivation world.
It was equivalent to a weakened version of the "Dragon Pattern Pill."
For a "Golden Core cultivator," consuming this pill could enhance their cultivation, strengthen their Golden Core, and even have a very small chance of increasing a "Golden Core Dragon Pattern."
The "Golden Yuan Pill" contained a very rare "heavenly material and earthly treasure" – the "One Leaf Dragon Pattern Grass"!
Of course, the "One Leaf Dragon Pattern Grass" was merely a rare "auxiliary ingredient" and used in extremely small quantities.
While the "Golden Yuan Pill" could not compare to the "Dragon Pattern Pill," it was still a top-tier "premium pill."
Such a "premium pill," the villagers of the "Donghuang Mountain Range" probably had never even seen before, right?
Ouyang Hao thought this to himself, and the smile on his face widened.
Confident!
Proud!
Filled with a sense of superiority!
Ouyang Hao reached out and took a wedding invitation from his storage bag, along with a small jade box.
Within the jade box, a "Golden Yuan Pill" was contained.
Extremely precious, priceless!
"Sect Master Zuo Linqi, this is the invitation to the Holy Land Assembly, and a token of our appreciation!"
Ouyang Hao handed the invitation and the jade box to Zuo Linqi together.
At this moment, he could already imagine Zuo Linqi's shocked, ecstatic, and disbelieving expression upon seeing the "Golden Yuan Pill."
At that time, Zuo Linqi would surely jump up in excitement and express his gratitude incoherently.
Heh heh...
At that time, I must display the "magnanimity of a Holy Land"!
Ouyang Hao secretly rehearsed in his mind.
After a while, when Zuo Linqi was "overwhelmed with gratitude," how he would react.
He could not be too enthusiastic, nor too indifferent!
He could not be too arrogant, nor too easygoing!
He had to show the "magnanimity of a Holy Land" just right!
Ouyang Hao was ready!
At this moment, Zuo Linqi opened the small jade box, glanced inside, and then...
Zuo Linqi casually closed the jade box.
And then, there was no then!
Zuo Linqi's expression remained unchanged. There was neither the expected shock nor the expected excitement.
It was as if, in his eyes, the "Golden Yuan Pill" was merely an ordinary pill, not worth mentioning!
Ouyang Hao
(╯°Д°）╯︵┻━┻
Flip the table!
I really can't help but want to flip the table!
What kind of reaction is this, Zuo Linqi?
It's too bland!
Can't you show a little more intensity?
That's a "Golden Yuan Pill," a "Golden Yuan Pill," a "Golden Yuan Pill"!
Important things are said three times!
Why are you so indifferent to such a valuable pill?
Ouyang Hao, who was "full of anticipation" and had already prepared to "show off," no, prepared to display the "magnanimity of a Holy Land," was met with this?
Ouyang Hao was utterly depressed!
Right, this "Donghuang Mountain Range," such a remote and impoverished place, Zuo Linqi and his ilk must have never seen anything good before.
So, perhaps he didn't recognize the "Golden Yuan Pill"?
Possible!
Highly possible!
