Amidst the fluttering catkins, a few Core Formation cultivators walked to the front of the wine shop and dusted off the catkins on their bodies while discussing loudly.
"Brother Wang, I wonder if you intend to attend the opening ceremony of the Five Elements Immortal Mansion?"
"Of course. Although I've just reached the early-stage Core Formation realm, I have you guys to protect me."
"Ai, look at what you're saying. I'm only at the late-stage Core Formation realm."
"That's a level higher than ours. Who else can I rely on if not you? We have such a good relationship. Of course, we'll go treasure hunting together. Don't think of ditching us. "
"Haha, of course. We'll obtain immortal fate together and ascend together. After we become immortals, we'll still be good friends …"
Obtain immortal fate together? The pale-faced man sitting at the innermost table couldn't help but feel disdainful. How could immortal fate be like catkins, everywhere?
Usually, only one immortal fate would appear among thousands of people. Moreover, immortal fate could be thin or thick, deep or shallow … For example, if a group of people found a good treasure, would they still be so courteous and modest? Even if they were blood brothers, they'd kill them!
Thus, the man couldn't help but snort coldly and gulp down the wine.
The few Core Formation cultivators who just entered noticed that there was another person at the innermost table. They hurriedly used the Heaven's Eye Art to take a look. They couldn't see through his cultivation. At the very least, he was a Yuanying cultivator.
Yuanying snorted coldly. The expressions of those people instantly changed and they hurriedly bowed. "I didn't know Senior was here. Please forgive me for offending you. I'm a disciple of the Ice Jade Demon Sect."
That Yuanying didn't bully them. He nodded and said, "I'm Pan Dong of the Heavenly Law Demon Sect. If you're waiting here, you can go to another place."
The few Core Formation cultivators hurriedly nodded. However, one of the young female cultivators boldly said, "Heavenly Law Demon Sect. Is it the Heavenly Law Demon Sect that can predict one's future and foretell fortune? I wonder if Senior can give us some suggestions?"
The moment the female cultivator spoke, the leading male cultivator hurriedly rebuked, "Junior Martial Sister Meiqing! How could Immortal Pan do anything for us? Don't be presumptuous! " With that, the male cultivator cupped his fists towards Pan Dong and said, "Senior, this is my Junior Martial Sister Huang Meiqing. It's my first time going out without proper etiquette. Please don't blame me."
The female cultivator was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue and lowered her head in silence.
Perhaps because the female cultivator was rather cute, Perfected Lord Pan Dong did not blame her. Of course, it was impossible to do anything for these people. He nodded and said, "Since we are fated to meet, I'll give you a piece of advice. Your cultivations are still shallow, so don't be greedy. No matter what it is, leave the mansion as soon as you get it. Only then will you be safe. "
The Ice Jade Devil Sect and the others immediately bowed and expressed their thanks before leaving in a hurry.
After leaving the door, the female cultivator Huang Meiqing said, "That True Monarch is too timid. If he had obtained a piece of trash, would he have immediately left the mansion? Wouldn't that be a wasted trip? "
The leading male cultivator hurriedly pulled her and said, "Junior Martial Sister Meiqing, don't cause any more trouble. Perfected Lord Pan heard it. If we don't go to the Five Elements Immortal Mansion, we will die here first."
Of course, Perfected Lord Pan Dong would not be so bored as to eavesdrop on their conversation. The path to immortality was long, and these people were just a drop of water in the long river of life. Who would remember them?
At this moment, Pan Dong was vexed because that brat called Ye Kong had yet to appear. There was less than a month left. If he still did not appear, this trip to the immortal mansion would probably be in vain.
What made Pan Dong curious was that according to his prediction, if they brought Ye Kong along, everyone would have a harvest. Moreover, that Ye Kong would obtain a huge harvest!
This kid's luck was really good! They had to bring him along!
However, Pan Dong was pondering in his heart. This kid's cultivation was so low, so why would he be able to obtain the biggest harvest? Why not wait for him to obtain the treasure … At the thought of this, Pan Dong's heart stirred, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes.
But then, he still shook his head. He had also used his Dharmic Language to predict the consequences of attacking Ye Kong, but the result was that he could not predict it!
He would rather not do something that he had no confidence in succeeding!
Just as he was pondering, a young man in green walked in amidst the fluttering clouds.
Perfected Lord Pan Dong raised his eyebrows and stood up to greet him. He smiled and said, "Are you Friend Ye?"
At The Black Robe, they did not meet each other without their hats, so they did not know each other today.
Ye Kong hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "The Dharmic Language Fiend Sect's prediction is indeed accurate. Perfected Lord Pan, please."
"There was no news about you at all. I thought you weren't coming." Pan Dong laughed out loud, then looked at Ye Kong and said, "Last time, you said that you had just formed your Azoth Core, but now you are already in the middle stage of Azoth Core. It seems that Fellow Daoist Ye has been cultivating hard these past ten years."
Actually, Ye Kong had used elixirs to suppress his cultivation. Otherwise, it would be frightening for him to leap from early-stage Core Formation to early-stage Yuanying in sixteen years!
Ye Kong said, "It's the same. Senior Pan's cultivation has also improved."
Pan Dong smiled and said, "Of course not. I'm still at late-stage Yuanying. At our realm, it's difficult to even advance by one level in ten years!"
The two of them chatted for a while, and the topic soon returned to the Five Elements Immortal Mansion. Ye Kong asked, "There's still a month before the opening ceremony. What do we have to prepare for?"
Pan Dong shook his head and said, "From what you said, it's obvious that you haven't been to the Five Elements Immortal Mansion. There's still a month, and the journey will take about a month! It'll be eight lifetimes too late to prepare now! If you don't come in three days, we won't wait for you! "
Ye Kong originally thought that a month in advance would be very early. He didn't expect that he would only just make it.
"Then, have you decided on the location of the Five Elements Immortal Mansion?" Ye Kong asked hurriedly.
Pan Dong nodded and said, "According to the heavenly omens, the Five Elements Immortal Mansion has appeared in the direction of Giant Food Star. It's about ten million kilometers away from Yunyao in the Cang Ming."
"So far!" Ye Kong was a little surprised.
True Lord Pan Dong said, "That's right. It's this far. Even the fastest Star Boat would take about a month. The slower ones won't make it in time. So, we have to hurry."
"En, that direction is just right …" The reason why Ye Kong said it was just right was because, according to the City Well Devil Sect's information, the Pawnshop Devil Sect's Star Boat was also heading in that direction!
According to the information sent by Elder Number 17, the Pawnshop Devil Sect's Star Boat had waited for more than a year and finally encountered the Pawnshop Devil Sect's Star Boat in the Yellow Earth Realm.
However, the Pawnshop Devil Sect's Star Boat was also very advanced. It didn't take long before they discovered the City Well Devil Sect's Star Boat. They immediately sent out a warning that if the City Well Devil Sect's Star Boat continued to follow, they would launch an attack.
The City Well Devil Sect was just a small Star Boat. It didn't have the strength to fight back and could only stop. However, the City Well Devil Sect also revealed their identity and requested for the other party to terminate the contract with Huang Shishi in advance. The City Well Devil Sect was willing to pay the corresponding price.
However, the Pawnshop Devil Sect's Star Boat didn't care and directly sped up. At that time, the Pawnshop Devil Sect's Star Boat was heading in the direction of Giant Food Star.
After this incident, although the City Well Devil Sect's scouts were still waiting in the Yellow Earth Realm, they didn't see the Pawnshop Devil Sect coming to retrieve the yellow earth for a few years.
So, when Ye Kong heard that the Five Elements Immortal Mansion was also in that direction, he couldn't help but have an impulse. After going to the Five Elements Immortal Mansion, it wouldn't be a bad idea to look for Big Sister Shishi there.
Because of Huang Shishi's news, Ye Kong looked forward to going to the Five Elements Immortal Mansion. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Since there's no time to lose, let's go."
Pan Dong smiled and said, "Indeed, there's no time to lose. However, we have to gather the other four teammates first."
Ye Kong asked doubtfully, "Didn't you invite your friends? Aren't they with you? "
Pan Dong also stood up and said, "Yeah, they're all in Snow Shadow City. However, they all have unique personalities. Let's go find them."
Then, the two walked out of the tavern's door in the wind and snow.
Pan Dong said as he walked, "When going out to search for treasures, the worst thing is internal strife. The scariest thing is when one of our own people attacks each other. In a small team, as long as there's one person with bad intentions, everyone's lives will be lost in the end."
Ye Kong nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, when everyone goes together, we have to face the enemy together. If we have to guard against our own people during the battle, then it's better to go treasure hunting alone."
Pan Dong said again, "Although that's the case. However, when we encounter real treasures, or when the treasures are not enough to be distributed, how many people can restrain their greed? "
Ye Kong asked, "Then, Senior Pan Dong, have you prepared the blood contract that you mentioned last time?"
Pan Dong smiled and said, "That's the foundation of this treasure hunt, how can I forget it? However, apart from the blood contract, there must be a fair and reasonable method of distributing the treasures that everyone can accept. Only then can everyone work together to fight the enemy. "
After Pan Dong finished speaking, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Ye Kong, saying, "This is the distribution plan that this Pan drafted. If you want to participate, you must agree. If you don't agree or have a better method, you can also bring it up and we can discuss it again."
Ye Kong took the jade slip and used his Divine Sense to explore it. He found that the distribution method of this team was not evenly distributed according to the number of people, but according to the contribution. The rules were more strict, and it was completely based on how much effort you put in.
Although it seemed fair, for Ye Kong, such a distribution method was somewhat disadvantageous. After all, among everyone, Ye Kong's cultivation was the lowest. Under normal circumstances, Ye Kong would definitely put in the least effort, so he would naturally get the least amount of treasures.
Watching Ye Kong check the rules, Pan Dong stopped and looked at Ye Kong's expression. He also knew that such a rule was somewhat disadvantageous to Ye Kong and was worried that Ye Kong would not agree.
Therefore, Pan Dong spoke again, "Friend Ye, although the rules may be somewhat disadvantageous to you, I personally feel that such rules are fair. Otherwise, when there is a crisis or when there is a competition with other teams for treasures, if everyone does not contribute and just wait for the distribution of the treasures, then things will not go as planned. Moreover, according to Fa Yan's prediction, in our team, the one who will get the most benefits in the end is likely to be you. "
Hearing what he said, Ye Kong stood up and waved his hand, saying, "True Lord Pan, I don't have any objections. I completely agree with the rules here. Without such an incentive mechanism, although we won't harm each other, we won't do our best. Besides, Ye's cultivation is the lowest. This time, we are going to the Five Elements Immortal Mansion to gain more experience. We have never thought of getting too many treasures. "
