"It's not appropriate to leak the news of my return for the time being."
Hokkaidōjin said in a deep voice, "Apart from some old fogeys in the sect, don't spread the news to anyone else, including your three disciples."
"Don't worry, grandmaster!"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star patted his chest and guaranteed, "I'm the tightest."
If Nangong Ling and the other two saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop.
Their master who was stern and reserved in front of them actually exuded a hint of childishness in front of Hokkaidōjin.
Hokkaidōjin thought for a moment and asked, "Just Now, I heard that Hundred Refinement Sect is going to have a weapon refinement competition with Hellfire Hall. When is it?"
"Three months later, at the Thousand Crane Tea Party."
At the mention of this, Dao Lord Scarlet Star revealed a worried expression.
Hokkaidōjin asked again, "What's the Thousand Crane Tea Party? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star said, "About 3,000 years ago, a Mystic Tea Tree was discovered in a valley under the jurisdiction of Chigurumon."
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
There were some records of the Mystic Tea Tree in the ancient books at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.
The Mystic Tea Tree was considered a mutant from the primordial era and had long gone extinct.
It was said that the tree was extremely magical and its leaves would only mature once every thousand years.
Furthermore, after the leaves matured, they would wither within a day.
If one were to drink it with spirit spring water within a day, it would have an unimaginable nourishing effect on the Essence Spirit of a Nascent Soul!
A cup of Mystic Tea could help a cultivator cleanse the dregs in their Essence Spirits better and advance to the Void Reversion realm faster – the effects were shocking.
"The leaves of the Mystic Tea Tree can't be stored and are outdated and wasted. Genying Zhenjun of Chigurumon doesn't have that many.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star said, "Therefore, on this day, Chigurumon will invite Genying Zhenjun of the Middle Continent to come here and exchange insights over tea."
"The Thousand Crane Tea Party is held once every thousand years and is a rare opportunity. Other than the immortal sects and Buddhist sects, cultivators from the various major sects and aristocratic families will also come. "
"If I could get a cup of Mystic Tea to drink, it would be more worth it than cultivating in seclusion for hundreds of years!"
Su Zimo understood.
In other words, the Thousand Crane Tea Party was a rare event in the cultivation world. Although it could not compare to the fight for the Phenomenon Ranking, it was still highly anticipated.
At that time, all the major sects and clans would show up!
The battle between Hundred Refinement Sect and Hellfire Hall for weapon refinement was perfect for this tea party – it would attract the attention of countless cultivators!
Dao Lord Scarlet Star was worried. "If we lose this competition, our Hundred Refinement Sect's reputation will be tarnished. Hellfire Hall will definitely not let go of this opportunity!"
"At that time, if the super sect behind Hellfire Hall takes the opportunity to support them, Hellfire Hall might replace Hundred Refinement Sect!"
Su Zimo didn't care much about the artifact refining competition. After all, he couldn't help much in this matter.
The only thing he paid attention to was the Thousand Crane Tea Party!
Since all the major factions were gathered at this tea party, he wondered if Di Yin would appear!
If Di Yin appeared, he could find an opportunity to kill him to prevent future troubles!
Hokkaidōjin frowned and asked, "Are you not confident of winning this weapon refinement competition?"
"No."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star shook his head. "Among my three disciples, Yoo Han-yeon is the one with the highest attainments in weapon refinement. However, she's still slightly inferior to that genius of Hellfire Hall. "
Hokkaidōjin frowned.
If he recovered his body, he could naturally step forward and challenge again as a Weapon Refinement Grandmaster.
However, three months was too short and he could not reconstruct his body in time.
Hokkaidōjin instinctively looked at Su Zimo beside him.
At that moment, Su Zimo's mind was filled with thoughts of how to kill Di Yin and he did not notice Hokkaidōjin's gaze.
Hokkaidōjin glanced at Su Zimo and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Zimo has only just started refining Dharmic weapons and hasn't even refined a single Dharmic weapon before. How can he compare to Yoo Han-yeon?"
While Hokkaidōjin looked at Su Zimo, Dao Lord Scarlet Star was also sizing up Su Zimo and guessing Su Zimo's identity and background.
Initially, he thought that Su Zimo was just an ordinary Genying Zhenjun.
Now that he saw how Hokkaidōjin trusted Su Zimo, he muttered internally and was puzzled – he did not know what their relationship was.
Hokkaidōjin pondered for a long time but could not figure it out. Hence, he said, "Let's talk about this in the future. Who's the Patriarch of the sect now?"
"It's Senior Brother White Flames,"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star replied.
Hokkaidōjin smiled gently. "So, it's him. Back when I left, he was still a brat. "
"I'll return to the sect to take a look. Settle Mo Ling down first."
Hokkaidōjin instructed Dao Lord Scarlet Star before turning to Su Zimo. "The Thousand Crane Tea Party will be in three months. If you're not in a hurry, you can stay in Hundred Refinement Sect for a period of time and attend the tea party with Hundred Refinement Sect."
"Alright,"
Su Zimo nodded in agreement.
Now that he knew that Ji Chengtian, Leng Rou and the others were fine, he was in no hurry to meet his old friends.
The Thousand Crane Tea Party would be in three months and he would naturally be able to meet everyone.
Hokkaidōjin had yet to gather all the materials for forging his body. If he stayed in Hundred Refinement Sect, he might be able to help.
Frowning slightly, Dao Lord Scarlet Star pointed at Su Zimo and could not help but ask, "Grandmaster, who is this lad? Do I have to make arrangements personally?"
In Dao Lord Scarlet Star's opinion, he was the Dharma Daojun after all – how could he be reduced to arranging accommodations for a Nascent Soul realm lad?
Hokkaidōjin said indifferently, "Call him Uncle-Master."
With that said, Hokkaidōjin retracted the surrounding flame barrier and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the void instantly.
"What?"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star was stunned.
Uncle-Master?
Dao Lord Scarlet Star glared at Su Zimo unblinkingly with widened eyes, as though he wanted to devour Su Zimo!
Su Zimo coughed gently awkwardly.
He had just joined Hokkaidōjin's sect and was indeed a little young. He was truly not used to having a disciple-nephew of the Dharma Daojun all of a sudden.
Nangong Ling and the other two discussed softly on the spot, speculating about various possibilities.
However, in a moment of carelessness, the flame barrier beside them disappeared and a red light flashed before their eyes. The three of them did not pay attention to it.
Immediately after, the three of them saw their master and the unknown Genying Zhenjun standing face to face, staring at each other.
Both of them remained silent and the atmosphere was strange.
What was going on?
Nangong Ling and the other two were confused.
"Master?"
Nangong Ling called out softly.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star frowned and felt that something was amiss the more he thought about it!
The lad before him was only at the Nascent Soul realm and was more than a hundred years old – how could he be the Uncle-Master of an old monster who was more than 5,000 years old?
How was that possible?
Grandmaster must be muddle-headed and said something wrong!
However, he seemed to have heard the word 'Uncle-Master' …
Dao Lord Scarlet Star was conflicted.
Right then, he heard Nangong Ling's voice and his eyes lit up as he slapped his forehead in realization!
"Grandmaster didn't ask me to address this person as Uncle-Master. Instead, he asked my three disciples to address him as Uncle-Master!"
"In that case, Mo Ling is my little junior brother! Yes … that's right, that must be the case! "
Dao Lord Scarlet Star was delighted after straightening out the relationship.
Nangong Ling felt goosebumps when she saw Dao Lord Scarlet Star frowning in deep thought and laughing foolishly. She could not help but ask, "Master, who is this Mo Ling?"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star waved his hand. "Call him Uncle-Master!"
