"With Fellow Daoist's reputation, I'm sure that fellow daoist will be willing to let you have it," Bo Hou replied.
"Hehe, I don't have any reputation, but I can wait a few days," Xiao Lingyu said, shaking his head with a smile.
For some reason, when Bo Hou and the others heard Xiao Lingyu's answer, they suddenly felt much more relaxed. It was as if Xiao Lingyu's answer was exactly what they had been hoping for.
"I still have some other matters to attend to in the Kunshu Continent, so I won't be waiting here. If that fellow daoist arrives, please send me a message," Xiao Lingyu said, taking out his supreme-grade Messaging Spiritual Pearl.
Bo Hou very cooperatively took out his own Messaging Spiritual Pearl. He and Xiao Lingyu left a soul imprint on each other, then sent Xiao Lingyu out of the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store.
"Is he really a Ninth Tribulation expert?" Although he had passed the test, Bo Hou still found it a little hard to believe. After Xiao Lingyu left, he asked the two old shopkeepers.
"We also feel that it's a little strange, but he's been tested by countless Strength Measuring Stones. Just now, he drank the Paradise on Earth without any abnormalities. He should be a Ninth Tribulation expert," one of the old shopkeepers said.
"But what use would a Ninth Tribulation expert have for the Three Lives Flower? A Ninth Tribulation expert will soon ascend to the Immortal Realm, "the other old shopkeeper said.
"If he can't use it himself, he can give it to his juniors. Perhaps he feels that he's about to ascend to the Immortal Realm, so he's paving the way for his juniors, "Bo Hou said.
"Regardless of whether he's a Ninth Tribulation expert or not, at the very least, his strength won't be lower than ours. He's the most suitable person to deal with that person," one of the old shopkeepers said.
"If he discovers that we deliberately set this up, then it'll be troublesome," the other shopkeeper said worriedly.
"We're helping him with this out of the kindness of our hearts. He won't discover any other problems. That person definitely won't hand over the Three Lives Flower. If we instigate them, there will definitely be a conflict between them. As for who gets the Three Lives Flower, we won't get involved, "Bo Hou said, shaking his head.
"That person relies on his status as an elder of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect to not put us in his eyes. He often shouts at us and is becoming more and more excessive. If we don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid the Kunlun Rare Treasure Shop will change its name to Tai Yi Rare Treasure Shop." An old shopkeeper said with indignation.
"If it's just a bad attitude, then it's fine. Our Kunlun Rare Treasures Shop used to have countless experts, and could be considered a big family in the cultivation world. It's all because of this person's tricks in the dark that our experts are getting fewer and fewer, and our business is getting worse and worse. The foundation left behind by our ancestors is about to be destroyed in my hands. I absolutely can't compromise with him anymore," Bo Hou said with a firm expression.
"Senior Sima still hasn't sent back a message?" An old shopkeeper asked.
"Grandpa Sima went out this time to look for something too rare. I think he went to find a new cultivation continent in the universe. I don't know if he received my message or not. Sigh, whatever. Even if Grandpa Sima is here, he should still support our plan. "Bo Hou shook his head.
"I hope Senior Sima can find what he wants. As long as he can pass the ninth tribulation and become a Ninth Tribulation expert, our Kunlun Rare Treasures Shop won't have to worry anymore," an old shopkeeper said.
"The Ninth Tribulation is extremely difficult. Even if he can pass it, he will quickly ascend to the Immortal World." An old shopkeeper sighed.

After Xiao Lingyu left the Kunlun Rare Treasures Shop, he also left Kunshu City. He randomly found a secluded place and activated the Tracking Spirit Mirror.
To Xiao Lingyu's surprise, he still didn't find any trace of his parents. However, he found his three university roommates.
According to the direction of the Tracking Spirit Mirror's needle, Xiao Lingyu could vaguely determine that his three roommates should be in the same place. He flew in that direction at full speed.
Half a day later, Xiao Lingyu arrived in front of a valley.
This valley was enveloped by a formation. Xiao Lingyu's three roommates were in this valley.
Xiao Lingyu pressed the alarm at the valley's entrance. Not long after, a young cultivator who looked to be in his twenties walked out. However, this person wasn't one of Xiao Lingyu's three roommates.
The young cultivator was only at the Nascent Soul stage. He first sized up Xiao Lingyu and felt that Xiao Lingyu's strength was unfathomable. He respectfully cupped his fists and said, "Senior, what brings you here?"
"Haha, I'm here to see three old friends. They are in this valley. I hope you can make an exception for them," Xiao Lingyu said with a polite smile.
"Other than me, there are only three outer sect disciples who haven't reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Could it be that your old friends are those three?" The young cultivator asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's the three of them. Please bring them out," Xiao Lingyu said as patiently and kindly as he could.
"Please wait a moment, Senior."
The young cultivator returned to the valley. In less than twenty breaths, he brought Xiao Lingyu's three roommates out.
When the three of them left Earth, they were all very young. However, after more than ten years in the Cultivation World, they were all middle-aged. Moreover, when they were in university on Earth, they were unruly and carefree. Now, they were very obedient and looked lethargic. It seemed that they had suffered a lot in the Cultivation World.
They were only at the second or third level of the Qi Refinement stage. This level of cultivation couldn't keep them young forever.
"Xiao Lingyu! Why are you here?! "
The three roommates were all very confused when they heard that an old friend had come to visit. However, when they saw the visitor's appearance, they couldn't help but exclaim in unison.
"Impudent! How can you call Senior's name like that!"
The young cultivator hurriedly reprimanded them. Then, he said to Xiao Lingyu, "Senior, please don't blame them. They haven't been cultivating for long and rarely go out. They don't know the rules. However, they are all honest people. Senior, please …"
"It's fine. They are my good friends. It's natural for them to call me by my name."
Xiao Lingyu waved his hand and said to the young cultivator, "Can I borrow your herb garden to reminisce about old times?"
"Uh, it would be my honor. Please come in, Senior." As the young cultivator spoke, he took out his token and opened the restriction and array at the entrance of the valley.
Xiao Lingyu stayed in the valley for two days. First, he caught up with his three roommates and talked about his experiences in the world of Cultivators. Then, he helped them to wash their veins and finish building their foundation. He left some spiritual stones behind in secret before he left because of Bo Hou's invitation.
In these two days, Xiao Lingyu knew that his three roommates were relatively lucky. They were moved to a sect in the Kunshu continent that wasn't very strong. In the end, they were taken in. Although they didn't get any powerful cultivation methods, they had a place to settle down.
When they were assigned to this medicinal garden, the young cultivator who was in charge of the medicinal garden treated them well. He didn't treat them like dirt. Although their lives for more than ten years were dull, it could be considered stable.
In these two days, the sect of Xiao Lingyu's three roommates also sent experts to check. The first time, it was a Spirit Severing stage cultivator.
The Spirit Severing stage cultivator found that he couldn't see through Xiao Lingyu's cultivation, so he respectfully greeted him and left. The second time, it was a Tribulation Passing stage expert who also couldn't see through Xiao Lingyu. So the third time, it was a Grand Ascension stage expert. The fourth time, it was a Three Tribulation Loose Immortal.
The Three Tribulation Loose Immortal also couldn't see through Xiao Lingyu, but he was the strongest expert in the entire sect. So he didn't leave directly. Instead, he chatted with Xiao Lingyu for a long time until Xiao Lingyu left.
Xiao Lingyu believed that the sect would definitely treat his three roommates well in the future. And the cultivation resources he left for his three roommates were enough for them to cultivate to the Spirit Severing stage even if they weren't talented.
But what made Xiao Lingyu unhappy was that the Three Tribulation Loose Immortal told him that there were many mortals who were moved from Earth ten years ago. But these mortals were all under 30 years old. None of them were middle-aged or old.
Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but have a bad feeling. Was it that the cultivator who kindly saved the people on Earth was unable to move all the people who hadn't died at that time to the cultivation world and only chose the young people who were more energetic and more likely to have a chance to cultivate?
If that was the case, his parents, who were nearly 50 years old at that time, definitely wouldn't have been chosen. This naturally made Xiao Lingyu feel depressed to the extreme.
Reason told Xiao Lingyu that this was very likely, but Xiao Lingyu couldn't accept it emotionally. No matter what, he wouldn't give up looking for his parents unless he got sufficient evidence to prove that his parents had died.
Xiao Lingyu soon returned to the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store. Bo Hou was still waiting for him at the door.
He took the miniature transmission formation upstairs and arrived at the luxuriously decorated wing room. The two old shopkeepers were already in the room, but there were two more people in the room.
They were a man and a woman. The man was an old man in a purple robe. He was relatively thin and his eyes were very small but very spirited. He looked like a fortune-teller in the secular world.
The woman was young and beautiful. She wore a beautiful colorful dress and had a sweet smile on her face. Her beautiful eyes were constantly looking around, making her look very clever and cute.
When Xiao Lingyu came in, the old man and the young girl both stood up to welcome him. They were very polite. After all, in their eyes, Xiao Lingyu was a Ninth Tribulation expert.
"Second Elder, he's the Ninth Tribulation expert you were talking about. Why does he look so young?" The young girl was obviously a person who didn't think before talking. She had just sat down when she started talking without any fear.
"Die 'er, don't talk nonsense. This Fellow Daoist has a technique to maintain his youthful appearance. He looks young, but in fact, he's in the same generation as your grandfather. You have to be more respectful." The old man lectured, but his tone was very calm.
"Oh, Die 'er understands." The young girl stuck out her small tongue and made a face.
