"I really don't have a magic weapon that can completely hide my aura and tracks."
Xiao Lingyu looked very certain.
"If you don't have such a magic weapon, how can you hide beside that barefoot old man without being discovered? He is a little stronger than me, especially in terms of cultivation. It's impossible for ordinary practitioners to get close to him without being discovered, "Shen Gongbao said with a smile.
Xiao Lingyu knew that Shen Gongbao was referring to the Chaotic Spectrum. The Chaotic Spectrum could indeed hide one's body, but once one entered it, one could not move, so it was very difficult to use.
What's more, the existence of the Chaotic Spectrum could not be easily known to others, especially a glib-tongued and cunning person like Shen Gongbao.
Xiao Lingyu had seen a lot of people, so he knew that people like Shen Gongbao were hypocritical. On the surface, they called you brother and were very friendly, but they might backstab you at any time.
According to the ancient books on Earth, Shen Gongbao was a guy who cheated countless people and had a bad reputation. Even if there were some discrepancies in those records, it was probably not groundless.
Although they were all strong practitioners on Earth, not all of them were worthy of deep friendship.
"Brother, do you know the Holy Laurel Fruit?" Shen Gongbao asked again when he saw that Xiao Lingyu was silent.
"I don't know," Xiao Lingyu said, shaking his head.
"The Holy Laurel Fruit is actually on the laurel tree on Moon Mountain. The laurel tree blossoms every ten billion years and bears fruit after another ten billion years. The Holy Laurel Fruit contains the essence of heaven and earth. Eating one can strengthen the connection between heaven and earth and the Great Way of Heaven and Earth. It allows the practitioner to communicate with heaven and earth more easily and borrow the power of the universe … In short, there are many benefits! The most important thing is that some of the materials you lack are very difficult to find, but they can be replaced by the Holy Laurel Fruit. After all, the Holy Laurel Fruit has a very comprehensive effect, "Shen Gongbao said temptingly.
"Since there are so many benefits, I'm afraid it's not easy to get, right?" Xiao Lingyu said calmly.
"Of course. Good things aren't easy to get."
Shen Gongbao nodded and said, "There is a beautiful woman on the moon whose strength is about the same as mine. She is the owner of the laurel tree. As long as we can avoid her divine thoughts, we can easily steal a few."
In order to make Xiao Lingyu believe him, Shen Gongbao even boasted shamelessly, "I once secretly took two Holy Laurel Fruits from the Moon Mountain."
Xiao Lingyu asked, "Since Fellow Daoist Shen has had successful experience, why do you need to find a Dharma treasure that can completely conceal your tracks?"
Shen Gongbao pretended to be depressed and said, "Alas, it is because I have two successful precedents that the beautiful woman is more alert. If I use the previous method again, it will be impossible for me to get what I want."
Xiao Lingyu suggested, "If there's really only that beautiful woman on the Moon Mountain, Fellow Daoist Shen can go and hold her back while I steal the Holy Laurel Fruit. How does that sound?"
Shen Gongbao's expression changed, and his eyes rolled. Finally, he nodded and said, "That's a good idea!"
Xiao Lingyu cursed in his heart, "Damn it!
If there's really only one beautiful woman on the Moon Mountain, she must be very powerful. Otherwise, how could she protect the laurel tree?
If the beautiful woman's strength is only a little stronger than Shen Gongbao, then there must be someone more powerful on the Moon Mountain. "
Anyway, Xiao Lingyu did not dare to believe most of Shen Gongbao's words. He did not want to be the kind of unlucky person who would be unlucky just because he said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."
However, as Shen Gongbao said, if he could get a Holy Laurel Fruit, Xiao Lingyu could really save a lot of trouble. A Holy Laurel Fruit could replace many kinds of materials that Xiao Lingyu needed.
Since Shen Gongbao was so interested in the holy laurel fruit, even if it was not as useful as Shen Gongbao had said before, it was probably not an ordinary fruit.
Therefore, Xiao Lingyu still had to go to the Moon Mountain to have a look.
If there was really an irresistible danger on the Moon Mountain, with Shen Gongbao's timid character, he would definitely not go.
"Brother Xiao, why don't you sit on the back of my Black Spot Tiger? It runs very fast," Shen Gongbao suggested.
Before Xiao Lingyu could answer, the Black Spot Tiger growled in a low voice, seeming to be a little dissatisfied.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "I also have a ride."
As he spoke, Xiao Lingyu invited the Foodie out and sat cross-legged on its back.
The Foodie was slightly bigger than the Black Spot Tiger, but the Black Spot Tiger waved its claws provocatively at the Foodie and raised its head high.
The Black Spot Tiger must have felt that the Foodie was not in the Heavenly Arrival Realm.
Although its cultivation was weaker, the Foodie was not afraid of the Black Spot Tiger, but it also ignored the Black Spot Tiger's provocation and looked indifferent.
Shen Gongbao naturally would not invite Xiao Lingyu to sit on the Black Spot Tiger's back, so he immediately asked the Black Spot Tiger to speed up.
The Black Spot Tiger looked down on the Foodie and deliberately wanted to show off its strength. It kept accelerating, wanting to show its absolute advantage in speed.
However, the Foodie was not slow either. Although it could not surpass the Black Spot Tiger, it would not be left behind.
The Black Spot Tiger gradually found that no matter how it accelerated, it could not widen the distance between them, which made it very unhappy. After all, it was in a higher realm than the Foodie.
Shen Gongbao was also secretly surprised and looked at the Foodie a few more times.
Along the way, Shen Gongbao and Xiao Lingyu naturally chatted a lot. Shen Gongbao wanted to find out Xiao Lingyu's background, while Xiao Lingyu wanted to know more useful information.
Both of them were not stupid and kept their mouths shut. In addition, both of them were wary of each other. Naturally, neither of them could expect to get too much useful information from the other.
Especially Shen Gongbao, who was born to lie and exaggerate. Even if he told the truth, Xiao Lingyu might not dare to believe him.
The two of them rode on their respective mounts and traveled for nearly 20 years, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers. Shen Gongbao's Black Spot Tiger finally stopped in front of a large river.
"What's wrong, are we almost there?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
Shen Gongbao shook his head and said, "In front of us is the Peacock Bright King's territory. I'm thinking about whether to take a detour or sneak over quietly."
Xiao Lingyu said, "If you are not on good terms with the Peacock Bright King, it's naturally more appropriate to take a detour."
In Xiao Lingyu's view, the Peacock Bright King's strength was definitely much stronger than Shen Gongbao.
"But if we take a detour, we'll have to travel for hundreds of years longer," Shen Gongbao said reluctantly.
"Safety first," Xiao Lingyu said indifferently.
"The Peacock Bright King and I have very little interaction. I don't think he will make things difficult for me. Let's not take a detour."
Shen Gongbao thought for a while and said, "But the Peacock Bright King's flat-feathered peacock has a bad temper. It loves to eat meat, especially monsters with high cultivation. We can't bring our mounts, so we can only walk."
The Black Spot Tiger nodded repeatedly. It seemed that it was very afraid of the Peacock Bright King's peacock.
Shen Gongbao then put away the Black Spot Tiger, while Xiao Lingyu invited the foodie into the spiritual beast pouch.
The reason why Xiao Lingyu invited it into the spiritual beast pouch instead of the Chaos Spectrum was that he did not want to attract Shen Gongbao's attention. Secondly, the foodie in the spiritual beast pouch could move at any time according to Xiao Lingyu's thoughts.
Then the two of them quietly flew over the large river, choosing to travel in the dense forest. They tightly restrained their breath, as if they were facing a great enemy.
After traveling carefully for nearly a month, Xiao Lingyu and Shen Gongbao did not dare to speed up, so they were still unable to walk out of the Peacock Bright King's territory.
However, a month later, the two of them were suddenly covered by a golden light above their heads, and a gust of wind rolled down.
The gust of wind was so powerful that even experts like Xiao Lingyu and Shen Gongbao found it difficult to stabilize their bodies.
The two of them raised their heads in shock, only to see a large bird with a huge figure.
The bird was golden all over and looked very similar to a phoenix. However, it did not have the noble aura of a phoenix, nor was it as beautiful. However, it exuded a domineering and fierce aura.
"Oh no, we've been discovered by the flat-feathered peacock!"
Shen Gongbao's expression changed drastically, but he did not rush to escape. Instead, he stood still.
The mighty power from the sky had sealed off a large area of the surrounding space. Xiao Lingyu was not an expert, so he could not escape even if he wanted to.
If Shen Gongbao was not here, Xiao Lingyu would have to immediately hide in the Chaos Spectrum.
"Shen Gongbao, what are you trying to do by sneaking into the Wise King's territory like a thief?"
The golden peacock hovered in the air and questioned in human language.
"Hehe, Brother Kong, please don't misunderstand. We did not sneak in. We did not want to disturb the Wise King's cultivation, so we walked quietly. We have no other intentions." Shen Gongbao said with a dry smile, appearing very polite.
Shen Gongbao was calling him a flat-feathered peacock just now, and now he was calling him Brother Kong. This Shen Gongbao was really a two-faced guy.
"Hmph! You unlucky star, swindling and deceiving people everywhere. This little brother looks kind but soft-hearted. He must have been deceived by you. "The golden peacock replied rudely.
"Uh …"
Shen Gongbao was embarrassed by the peacock's words in front of Xiao Lingyu. He did not know how many times he had scolded the peacock in his heart, but he still said politely, "Brother Kong, please don't misunderstand. I am a sincere friend of Brother Xiao. Why would I deceive him? Brother Kong, please don't listen to the gossip of others. I, Shen Gongbao, have always been a sincere person."
"If you want to be sincere, then there is no cultivator in this world who is not sincere."
The peacock sneered again, and then said, "Since you are already in the Wise King's territory, it is very rude to not pay respects to the Wise King."
Shen Gongbao replied, "I just don't want to disturb the Wise King's cultivation."
The peacock laughed and said, "I am here on the Wise King's orders to invite the two of you to the Wise King Palace."
"Ah?"
Shen Gongbao was very surprised and asked, "What orders does the Wise King have for us?"
"When you reach the Wise King Palace, the Wise King will tell you in detail."
