It was a pity that while the Jade Pearl Pavilion's plan was good, reality had once again mercilessly fooled them. Just a day or two after injuring Old Demon QianCheng, news came from the Xuantian Monastery saying that Old Demon QianCheng had been killed by their disciples and that the Phoenix Crying Blade had also recognized the Great Shadow as its master. One could imagine how the people of the Jade Pearl Pavilion felt like vomiting blood when they heard this news! Not only did they prepare for so many years, they even lost seven to eight Jin Dan disciples and injured two Yuanying cultivators. In the end, it was all for naught and an outsider took advantage of them!
When this matter was spread out, everyone in the Jade Pearl Pavilion was almost angered to death. If it was any other sect, no matter how big they were, they would most likely go straight to the Xuantian Monastery to seek justice. However, the one who snatched their spoils of war was the Xuantian Monastery. This made them feel that it was a little too troublesome.
The reason why it was troublesome wasn't because they were afraid of the Xuantian Monastery. In terms of strength, both sides were equally matched. The Jade Pearl Pavilion had many Yuanying elders while the Xuantian Monastery had the number one expert of the Infinite Boundless Mountain, Plum Blossom. Neither side was afraid of the other.
However, the relationship between both sides was just too good. The Xuantian Monastery and the Jade Pearl Pavilion had been friends for tens of thousands of years. Furthermore, there were many marriages between the two sects. Under such circumstances, the Jade Pearl Pavilion couldn't fall out with the other party over a spiritual treasure.
However, they couldn't take this lying down. As such, the Pavilion Lord of the Jade Pearl Pavilion wrote a letter to the Xuantian Monastery's Sect Master, explaining everything clearly to him. In the letter, she only emphasized on her losses and didn't mention any other requests.
However, the Xuantian Monastery's Sect Master wasn't an idiot. How could he not understand the other party's intentions? The Jade Pearl Pavilion obviously wanted to take a share of the spoils and at the very least, make up for their losses.
Similarly, the Xuantian Monastery's Sect Master who received the letter also felt that this matter was extremely troublesome. This time around, he had clearly taken advantage of the situation. If it was another sect, he would naturally not have bothered about it. However, the Jade Pearl Pavilion was not an ordinary sect. Although it wasn't to the extent of causing the two sides to fight, it was certain that cracks would appear in their relationship.
After pondering for a while and discussing with Huolong Daoist, the sect master finally decided to take out some things from the sect, as well as a portion of his own personal fortune, to gather a total of over ten million spirit stones and send it over to the Jade Pearl Pavilion.
Although all of these items added together were not even a fraction of the value of the Phoenix Crying Saber. Nevertheless, it was still a token of goodwill. Not only would it be sufficient to compensate for the Jade Pearl Pavilion's losses, it would also allow the other party to earn quite a bit. In this way, he finally gave the other party some face.
However, the sect master and his wife would never have thought that not only did their actions fail to satisfy the Jade Pearl Pavilion, it even angered them. Because from their point of view, Demon QianCheng's wealth was simply too great. For someone who could casually explode over a hundred magical artifacts, just how great would his wealth be? It wasn't strange for it to be worth over ten million spirit stones. However, after the Xuantian Monastery took the Phoenix Crying Saber, they only gave them less than a tenth of the total. This was simply too stingy.
Actually, the sect master couldn't be blamed for being stingy. If he had obtained Demon QianCheng's true wealth, he definitely wouldn't be so stingy. No matter what, he would have given half of it to Demon QianCheng. However, the problem was that 90% of Demon QianCheng's items were taken away by Xiao Pang. The remaining items were only worth ten million spirit stones. It was to the extent that he had no choice but to take out some of his own treasures to gather this amount.
However, the people from the Jade Pearl Pavilion did not know about this matter. In the end, they had a misunderstanding with the Xuantian Monastery. It was at this time that a crack appeared in the relationship between both parties. And the main culprit for all of this was that crafty son of Xiao Pang.
Just when the Xuantian Monastery and the Jade Pearl Pavilion were secretly holding a grudge because of Old Demon QianCheng's inheritance. As the person involved, Xiao Pang didn't care about it. Every day, he just followed his daily routine. When it was time to meditate, he meditated. When it was time to refine divine thunder, he refined divine thunder. When it was time to go out with the Great Shadow, he went out with the Great Shadow. His days were extremely comfortable.
In this completely carefree situation, Xiao Pang's cultivation also rapidly improved with the help of various cultivation resources. Finally, on the day before the day of the competition for the Mystical Spirit Fruit, Xiao Pang suddenly sensed something and immediately went into seclusion. After a few hours, he successfully broke through the last hurdle of the 12th Heavenly Layer and stepped into the Full Circle of the Xiantian realm!
In the short span of one to two months, Xiao Pang was able to achieve another breakthrough. Of course, this was related to his hard work in cultivation and his extravagant resources. However, the main credit was still given to him by the Great Shadow for the Mystical Heaven Spiritual Pill. If not for that pill that was worth millions of spirit stones, which rapidly increased his cultivation, he definitely wouldn't have been able to achieve so much in such a short period of time.
When Xiao Pang came out of seclusion, it was coincidentally the morning of the day of the competition for the Mystical Spirit Fruit. He faced the rising sun and just as he stepped out of the door, he met the Great Shadow who was waiting for him.
The moment the Great Shadow saw Xiao Pang, she immediately ran over in surprise and grabbed his hand. "Fat Brother, you've successfully advanced!"
"En!" Xiao Pang smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the Mystical Heaven Spiritual Pill you gave me! It's really a waste! "
"What are you saying? Giving anything to Fat Brother wouldn't be a waste!" The Great Shadow smiled and quickly pulled Xiao Pang onto the Wing Piercing Tiger. At the same time, she said anxiously, "The day of the competition for the Mystical Spirit Fruit is today. We have to meet up with them!"
When Xiao Pang heard this, he naturally didn't dare to delay and hurriedly flew up with the Great Shadow. The two of them rode on the Wing Piercing Tiger and turned into a purple ray of light, flying directly into the inner sect.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a high platform. This platform was built using Dao techniques. It was more than a hundred feet tall and more than a hundred feet square. A large white flying boat was docked on top of the platform.
At this moment, there were already many people on the flying boat. The Little White Dragon and the Peerless Sword Deity had arrived early. After their magic treasures were destroyed, their elders immediately gave them another one. Although it wasn't as good as the original one, it was still stronger than a magic weapon. In the past two months, they had been forming a blood bond with their magic treasures. Today was the first time they had come out for a breather.
After Xiao Pang and the Great Shadow flew onto the Divine Boat, a Foundation Establishment disciple who was in charge of the flying boat immediately came over and told them where their rooms were and what to take note of. Xiao Pang had been on this flying boat once before and was extremely familiar with it. After listening for a while, he pulled the Great Shadow away and led her around the boat.
It was the Great Shadow's first time here and everything was new to her. Like a little monkey, she jumped around on the flying boat. If anyone else dared to be so impudent, they would have been reprimanded by the high-level cultivators on the flying boat. However, the Great Shadow's status was extraordinary. When the cultivators saw her mischievous behavior, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry and just let her be.
However, while the Great Shadow dared to be impudent, Xiao Pang didn't. He didn't go crazy like the Great Shadow. Instead, he carefully observed the situation on the boat. There were already nine disciples competing for the Mystical Spiritual Fruit. Only Shuijin hadn't arrived. The person leading this batch of disciples was actually Huolong Daoist, a Nascent Soul cultivator. It was clear how important this matter was to the sect.
At this moment, Huolong Daoist, who was meditating on the highest floor of the pavilion, suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Is it time yet?"
"It's already here!" A Jin Dan Elixir behind Huolong Daoist hurriedly replied.
"Who else hasn't arrived?" Huolong Daoist asked.
"Only Miss Shuijin hasn't arrived!" Jin Dan Elixir frowned and said, "Should we send someone to take a look?"
"No need!" Huolong Daoist shook his head and said thoughtfully, "Since she hasn't arrived yet, it seems like she has listened to her master and doesn't want to get involved in this mess. In that case, there's no need for us to wait for her. Let's set sail!"
"Yes!" Although Jin Dan Elixir was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask too much. He hurriedly nodded and was about to activate the restriction to set sail.
However, at this moment, a graceful white figure suddenly appeared in the distance. When Huolong Daoist saw this, he hurriedly said, "Stop, Shuijin has arrived!"
Jin Dan Elixir was stunned and immediately stopped activating the restriction. He looked up and indeed saw Miss Shuijin. She was like a quiet and graceful plum blossom, bringing with her a mysterious aura as she slowly descended onto the flying boat.
When Huolong Daoist saw this, he immediately said in a low voice, "Shuijin, have you thought it through?"
"Yes!" Shuijin replied faintly and then bowed deeply to Huolong Daoist. She said, "My master is going into seclusion for a hundred years and has completely sealed off Plum Blossom Mountain. From now on, Shuijin will have to trouble Uncle-Master to take care of her!"
Obviously, Huolong Daoist had been entrusted by Plum Blossom and vaguely knew from her that Shuijin could make a different choice. Although Huolong Daoist didn't know what Shuijin's choice was related to, he could see the seriousness of this matter from his senior sister's serious expression.
Originally, Huolong Daoist thought that Shuijin would choose the easier path, which was to follow her master into seclusion. However, he didn't expect Shuijin to choose the opposite. Therefore, Huolong Daoist couldn't help but be surprised and shocked when he saw Shuijin appear.
However, he didn't say much and only said, "When I return, I will find a good courtyard for you to stay in. If you have any problems in the future, just come and find me!"
"Yes, thank you Uncle-Master!" Shuijin bowed gratefully. After she finished speaking, her eyes inadvertently glanced at Xiao Pang and a look of determination appeared in her eyes. Then, she left without looking back and went to her room to meditate.
As soon as Shuijin left, Huolong Daoist said in a low voice, "Set sail!"
"Yes, Master!" Jin Dan Elixir didn't dare to delay and immediately responded. Then, he directly activated the restriction on the ship.
All of a sudden, a green light appeared around the three hundred meter long ship. Then, the ship slowly rose into the air and accelerated in a certain direction. Under the sunlight, the ship's speed became faster and faster, and its height also became higher and higher. Finally, it turned into a green ray of light and disappeared into the clouds in the sky.
