Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 2406 - 204: Relic Treasure (Part 3)

Certainly, the Cloud Sky Realm enjoys such an abundant atmosphere due to the continuous replenishment of Chaos Origin Substance from beyond the realm; otherwise, it wouldn’t be much better.

But this is also natural; humans are the product of their environment, and those who aren’t affected by their environment are, in the end, very few.

He doesn’t necessarily think that the cultivators of Zhang’s Ruins are truly inferior to others because of this.

With these thoughts in mind, the confrontation between the master of Golden Water Pond and Cheng Lianzi reached an intriguing point.

It’s unclear what was said, but the master of Golden Water Pond was suddenly furious and flew in front of Wang Ba, taking out an item and respectfully presenting it:

"True Man above, this is the supreme treasure of my Golden Water Pond. Today, I follow True Man without words to express it. I wish to offer this treasure to True Man!"

Wang Ba was slightly startled and instinctively accepted it, glancing over it. It was an upper-grade Dao Treasure, with the Innate Cloud Ban flowing inside, not low at all, having twenty-six paths, just two short of being top-grade.

The master of Golden Water Pond, seeing Wang Ba accept it, felt a pang, but immediately looked at Cheng Lianzi with a provocative gaze, and mocked:

"Cheng Lianzi, what have you offered this time?"

Witnessing the master of Golden Water Pond’s actions, not only did Cheng Lianzi’s face change, but several cultivators couldn’t help but curse silently and their expressions stiffened considerably.

"This fool, offering something for no reason!"

"Isn’t this putting us in a difficult position?"

With the master of Golden Water Pond presenting the treasure of the pond, if they don’t present theirs, isn’t it evident they’d offend this True Man Taiyi?

The way the opponent looked just now clearly prepared to use them as an example to establish authority. Once given an excuse...

Though their hearts bleed with pain, they still had to grit their teeth, force a smile, and personally offer their prized treasure that had been refined for many years.

After offering, they immediately turned to Cheng Lianzi, gnashing their teeth:

"Taoist Friend Cheng, where’s your treasure?"

Seeing so many people glaring at him, Cheng Lianzi was both shocked and angry, and his heart bled drop by drop!

Inwardly regretting the previous quarrel, though his heart was pained to the extreme at this moment, he still had to take out the Fire Stone he had just used to attack Wang Ba. Reluctantly but firmly, he presented it in front of Wang Ba, whispered:

"True Man, this is the supreme treasure of my Laowen Sect, left by the Great Mahayana Ancestor of Laowen after his Cultivation Ascension, its power..."

"I know, wasn’t it witnessed just now?"

Wang Ba accepted it with a faint smile, sensed it briefly, and was slightly surprised:

"This treasure is not a top-grade Dao Treasure..."

"Indeed, this treasure was discovered by the ancestor within the ruins and is not a Dao Treasure, but an artifact crafted by someone."

Cheng Lianzi explained.

"If deployed, it’s nearly indistinguishable from ordinary top-grade Dao Treasures, quite a refined artifact refining method."

Wang Ba genuinely exclaimed in admiration.

A magic treasure crafted through the Path of Artifact Refining, comparable to the wonders of the Realm Sea, the creator of this treasure must indeed be a rare Artifact Refining Grandmaster even within the Realm Sea.

While in amazement, the master of Golden Water Pond commented with surprise:

"Isn’t something amiss, Taoist Friend Cheng? I recall your Laowen Sect’s patriarch left two treasures, why is there only one here?"

Cheng Lianzi’s eyes narrowed!

He glanced slightly at the master of Golden Water Pond, his eyes seemed ready to burst into flames.

Wang Ba, hearing this, looked at Cheng Lianzi, showing curiosity about the treasures left by the Mahayana Cultivator.

Cheng Lianzi took a deep breath, forced a smile onto his face, and with a look both seeming forcible yet awkward, ’smiled’ at the master of Golden Water Pond:

"Taoist Friend Situ, why hurry? I haven’t had the chance to bring it out yet. Besides, that item is of no use..."

While speaking, he slowly took out a treasure box from his sleeve, bringing it inch by inch before Wang Ba, whispered with reluctance:

"This item is useless, only because it was left by the patriarch, thus cherished through generations. To present it to True Man now is to finally find its home."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba smiled subtly, raised his hand and returned the Fire Stone to Cheng Lianzi.

Cheng Lianzi was taken aback, catching the Fire Stone and momentarily not understanding.

Wang Ba shook his head and said:

"Keep it, I’m not interested in your items."

While speaking, the things of others were also returned.

Regaining their treasures, the cultivators were astonished and delighted, hardly able to believe their eyes.

Initially, they felt submitting to True Man Taiyi was a helpless act, but now faintly thought following such a Great Cultivator, who’s not interested in their treasures, might not be a bad thing.

Cheng Lianzi was especially surprised, gripping the Fire Stone, unable to understand Wang Ba’s thoughts.

If not for these treasures, what is his purpose for unifying Zhang’s Ruins?

Could it truly be to aid the rogue cultivators of Zhang’s Ruins?

Isn’t this utterly absurd?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn’t find a single reason for such actions among the possibilities he could think of. Looking again at Wang Ba, he felt the True Man Taiyi before him seemed shrouded in a mysterious veil, making him difficult to fathom.

Cautiously putting away the Fire Stone, his eyes fell on another treasure box in his hand, hesitated, and again presented it with both hands to Wang Ba, his voice unconsciously carrying a subtle sincerity:

"This item, my Laowen Sect indeed has never found a way to utilize it. Perhaps True Man will be an exception. Please accept it."

Wang Ba, surprised, glanced at him without further dispute, accepted it with a smile, and opened the treasure box on the spot.

Inside the exquisite and ornate treasure box lay a worn, aged ’horn’, quietly.

His Spiritual Sense revealed no abnormalities, nor a hint of Spirit Chicken or Dao Rhythms, appearing the most ordinary, commonplace item.

However, Wang Ba’s expression finally turned a bit more serious.

At this moment, Cheng Lianzi wouldn’t dare to present an ordinary item to fool him, and something he couldn’t detect anomaly in, must be a rare treasure.

While it’s not suitable to experiment on the spot, he nodded, kept the treasure box, then pondered briefly and offered an upper-grade Dao Treasure to Cheng Lianzi, said calmly:

"I don’t like taking advantage of others. Since accepting one of your things, I’ll give you one."

"This treasure has twenty-seven paths of Innate Cloud Ban, doesn’t count as anything great, but should suffice for you."

Cheng Lianzi and the surrounding cultivators were slightly startled, then their eyes brightened, looking at Wang Ba’s gaze instantly becoming fervent!

What is the purpose of unifying Zhang’s Ruins?

Apart from self-preservation, isn’t it for such benefits!

The person in front of them is strong, generous, and without his own sect, seemingly not likely to interfere with their affairs, what could be more fitting to be the master of Zhang’s Ruins?

"True Man is magnanimous!"

"I, Cheng Lianzi, from today onward, shall only follow True Man!"
