"What is it?" Chu Li asked.
"A Yin Ming Grass," Guo Zhangjing said.
Chu Li asked, "Celestials need spirit herbs too?"
"Who said that celestials don't need spirit herbs?" Guo Zhangjing said, "Celestials value spirit herbs more. Do you know about the Yin Ming Grass?"
"I don't know, I've never heard of it," Chu Li answered honestly.
He knew about the Yin Ming Grass. Many spirit herbs were imprinted in his mind. However, compared to what he knew, there were thousands of spirit herbs in the Hundred-Thousand Hills. It was impossible for him to know all of them. He could only recognize some of them.
Many of the spirit herbs were poisonous. Anyone who got close to them would die. That was why it was dangerous to pick them.
Guo Zhangjing took out a piece of paper and flicked it.
The paper fluttered towards him and Chu Li reached out to take it. He felt a jolt in his palm and a strong force came from the paper, almost injuring him. He quickly shook his hand with all his might, desperately trying to dissolve the inner force.
Guo Zhangjing smiled faintly, "Baili Na, you're quite capable. Your comprehension is high. Unfortunately, you joined the Longevity Sect for too long. Your achievements are limited."
Chu Li said, "I believe that I can catch up."
"It's good to have such thoughts," Guo Zhangjing nodded, "Have you seen it?"
Chu Li opened the paper and glanced at it. He kept it in his pocket, "Where can I pick it?"
"You'll see it once you enter the Hundred-Thousand Hills." Guo Zhangjing said, "There's no need to go deeper. You're not an Enlightened Master or a Celestial. The danger is low. Just don't be greedy."
Chu Li said, "You can send any disciple of the Church of Light to handle such a matter, why must I go?"
"You're smarter," Guo Zhangjing said.
The Hundred-Thousand Hills was a forbidden area. The disciples of the Longevity Sect would most likely die. Although he hated Chu Li and wanted to kill him, he did not want to kill the other disciples who did not offend him. After all, he was a disciple too.
Chu Li nodded, "Alright, I'll go."
"Very well," Guo Zhangjing smiled. As long as he could pick the Yin Ming Grass, he would spare his life.
Chu Li said, "What do you need the Yin Ming Grass for, Senior Guo?"
"You don't have to worry about it," Guo Zhangjing scoffed.
Chu Li nodded.
He had already seen through the thoughts that flashed through Guo Zhangjing's mind. He wanted to concoct a type of medicine that would allow him to advance to the next level. The reason he descended to the mortal world this time was for the Yin Ming Grass.
Guo Zhangjing said, "If you can bring back the Yin Ming Grass, the old man will reward you handsomely."
"What's the reward?" Chu Li asked.
Guo Zhangjing knew that if there was a reward, there would be a brave man. He could not blindly force him. If he wanted him to risk his life, he would need a reward that would move him. He smiled faintly and said, "How about the Supreme Heavenly King Art?"
"Ultimate Heavenly King Technique?" Chu Li was stunned.
Guo Zhangjing slowly said, "If you can bring back the Yin Ming Grass, I will reward you with the Heavenly King's Supreme Skill. I always keep my word!"
"Alright!" Chu Li nodded vigorously, revealing an excited expression.
Chu Li heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Guo Zhangjing merge into the void.
The most helpless step was to kill Guo Zhangjing, but it would be too easy to get into trouble and expose Baili Na's identity. If Baili Na's identity was really exposed because of Guo Zhangjing, it would really be a loss for a small gain, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
He still had to use Baili Na's identity to enter the Longevity Treasure.
The Omniscient Mirror observed his surroundings and found nothing out of the ordinary. Only then did he use his Light-body Technique and galloped away.
Along the way, he was not in a hurry to use the Void Diversion Technique. He first used his Light-body Technique and headed towards Chong Ming Town. It seemed like he was returning to his old lair in the outskirts of Chong Ming Town. A day later, he returned to Goddess Attraction Mountain in a flash.
It was evening, and the setting sun illuminated Goddess Attraction Mountain in a rosy color. It was beautiful and moving.
Chu Li looked at the surrounding scenery and felt a sense of security. Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw the three women, Master Zhou Dunli, Senior Brother Dong Jianxin, and another tall and handsome young man. They were sitting in a gazebo by the cliff and talking with Dong Jianxin.
Outside the gazebo were three green pines that stood proudly in the strong wind blowing from the cliff.
Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror and directly observed the mind of Dong Jianxin and the tall and handsome young man.
He immediately understood their identity. It was Pang Hui's grandson, Pang Shiji.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. In the end, Master still brought Pang Shiji back to Goddess Attraction Mountain.
He entered the basilica to greet Zhou Dunli.
Zhou Dunli's face was glowing, and his energy was at its peak.
The previous battle at Goddess Attraction Mountain had made its status even more respected. It was as stable as a rock, and there was no need to worry about anyone coming to cause trouble.
He was relieved of one of his worries. He no longer had to worry that Dong Jianxin would fall from Goddess Attraction Mountain. With the foundation laid this time, Dong Jianxin could be worry-free for the next hundred years. After a hundred years, another genius might appear and restore Goddess Attraction Mountain to its former glory.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled. "Master, is there any good news?"
"Go and see Shiji." Zhou Dunli smiled. "Remember, don't kill him!"
Chu Li smiled. "Master, why are you so sure that I will kill him?"
"Based on your temperament, you must nip the danger in the bud." Zhou Dunli scoffed. "He is the grandson of my old friend. I have already promised my old friend that I will take good care of Shiji. Don't make me break my promise!"
Chu Li said, "Even if he is really in danger, I won't kill him."
"Before he has the intention to kill, you can't kill him," Zhou Dunli said. "Consider it my request to you."
Chu Li smiled helplessly. "Master …"
"You don't agree?" Zhou Dunli asked.
Chu Li sighed. "Since Master has spoken, I can only do as you say."
"Don't say one thing but mean another. Attack him secretly!" Zhou Dunli said.
Chu Li sighed again and nodded.
Zhou Dunli smiled. "Very well, I only have one thing to ask before I leave. Since you have agreed, I have nothing else to worry about."
"Master, are you going to ascend to heaven?" Chu Li frowned.
"Wait a little longer. Jianxin's current cultivation level is still insufficient." Zhou Dunli shook his head.
Chu Li sighed in relief.
Although Zhou Dunli could return even if he ascended to heaven, the number of times he could come down every year was limited. It was inevitable that he would feel melancholy. Ever since he joined Goddess Attraction Mountain, Zhou Dunli had treated him very well and helped him without reservation.
Zhou Dunli said, "Go and meet your wives. They are all good ladies. Don't let them down!"
Chu Li gave a fist salute and left.
After speaking with Xiao Qi and the other two ladies, he went to the gazebo next to the cliff. The two were chatting enthusiastically against the strong wind.
Seeing Chu Li coming, Dong Jianxin was overjoyed. "Junior Brother, come and meet Brother Pang."
Chu Li stepped into the gazebo and smiled.
Pang Shiji got up to greet him. He gave a fist salute solemnly. "Brother Chu's name is well-known!"
Chu Li waved his hand and smiled. "It's just an empty reputation. Brother Pang, you don't have to be so polite here. Just treat this as your own home. Master and your ancestor are best friends. We are not outsiders."
"Yes." Pang Shiji smiled. "I never treat myself as a guest. As long as Brother Chu and Brother Dong don't mind me for being presumptuous."
Dong Jianxin waved his hand. "Alright, you two don't have to be so polite. Sit down and talk. Junior Brother, Brother Pang is indeed a genius in cultivation. I am far inferior to him!"
Chu Li pretended to be all ears.
Dong Jianxin then told him about Pang Shiji's powerful points. He was born with a weak physique and was almost unable to cultivate. It was only three years ago that he suddenly improved. Because he ate a strange fruit, his aptitude was peerless, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
