Xiao Chen had a headache thinking about how to trick Old Ghost into Southwind City.
Should he just tell Old Ghost that he was using the Holy Celestial Fruit to save his life?
Old Ghost would probably scold him to death.
And he probably wouldn't accept the treatment, right?
Xiao Chen knew Old Ghost's temper very well. Although he was usually cheerful and good-tempered, he was very stubborn.
Knowing that he was going to die, he definitely wouldn't want to use the Holy Celestial Fruit to save his life!
Instead, he would rather Xiao Chen exchange the Holy Celestial Fruit for something that would help him with his cultivation.
This was especially true if Xiao Chen told the truth and told him that the Holy Immortal Fruit had yet to be exchanged for anything, and that curing his illness was only one of the conditions, the old man would definitely force him to remove this condition and refuse to accept the treatment.
Therefore, Xiao Chen knew that he couldn't tell the truth from the beginning.
Once the old man accepted the treatment, Xiao Chen would be able to say that he would not be able to change the conditions. If he did not continue to accept the treatment, he would only be wasting the value of the Holy Celestial Fruit. Perhaps the old man would still scold him for being wasteful, but after some consideration, he would definitely continue to accept the treatment.
Therefore, it was quite troublesome to get Old Ghost to follow him to the city for the first time.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning!
Old Ghost knew that he didn't have much time left, so he was trying his best to teach Xiao Chen everything he knew about spell formations. He didn't want to waste any time, so how could he let Xiao Chen take him to Southwind City for no reason?
"How can I find a suitable excuse?" Xiao Chen frowned and racked his brains.
"I can't help you with that! You should go back first and find another opportunity according to the situation! "Chen Hao expressed that there was nothing he could do.
He didn't know what kind of person Old Ghost was.
He couldn't find a suitable excuse for this kind of thing.
"Alright!" Xiao Chen nodded and then teleported away.
Moreover, when he teleported away, all records of him coming to South Dingtian City were erased.
No one knew that he, a mere Heaven Celestial Stage Celestial, had come to Dingnan City and had even taken out the Holy Celestial Fruit from the Celestial Treasure to sell!
Tian Ji's methods were indeed remarkable.
After leaving Dingnan City, Xiao Chen didn't waste any time and went straight back home.
"According to what Lord Chen Jian told me before, it would take about two days to gather all the materials. Then, it would take at most three days for the Celestial Emperor Realm experts to come over! So I have to let Ghost Master go to the city with me on the third day! "Xiao Chen calculated in his heart as he rushed back.
"What excuse should I find?" Xiao Chen's mind was now full of thinking about how to find an excuse to let Old Ghost go with him.
"How about this? Brother, you try to tell your master that you found a very special array disc in the city. There are some dao runes circulating on it. The person who sold the array disc is very knowledgeable and asked for a very high price. However, you feel that there are some flaws in the array disc and you can't make up your mind. Let your master go with you to appraise it! In this case, with your master's painstaking research and painstaking efforts on array discs, he will definitely be willing to delay a little bit! " Chen Hao saw that Xiao Chen was very worried about this matter, so he also racked his brains. After a long time, he finally came up with a method that sounded very straightforward.
"This method sounds like a deliberate excuse!" Xiao Chen was somewhat speechless.
"Heh, heh, sometimes it is this kind of straightforward method that can produce miraculous results! You can give it a try. I think with your master's temperament, he should go with you! "Chen Hao laughed.
"What you said makes sense. OK, I will use this excuse to test my master's words later!" Xiao Chen thought for a while and nodded his head in agreement.
Because apart from this method, he really didn't have any other better methods.
"Then you must grasp the time well. You must wait for the Celestial Emperor who is treating your master's illness to arrive in the city before you talk to your master about this matter. Otherwise, your master will be curious if you tell your master now and also go to the city. Then, you will be directly exposed!" Chen Hao reminded him again.
"I understand!" Xiao Chen nodded, then directly hung up the communication because he had already returned to the sect.
This time, because the time spent on this trip was much shorter than expected, and it was also much smoother. It did not take up too much time. Therefore, when he returned, Elder Zhang did not say anything.
Therefore, Xiao Chen first returned to his courtyard to rest for a while.
Then, he went to see Old Ghost.
After that, he also did not say anything. Whatever Old Ghost taught him, he just listened patiently.
On the other side, he was also paying close attention to the communication. Once Chen Hao sent him a message saying that the matter was settled, he would start to deceive Old Ghost.
The time was also earlier than previously estimated. It was obvious that the Celestial Treasure Liang Family was really going all out for the Holy Celestial Fruit. In just a short span of a day or two, they had completely gathered all the items on the list that Chen Hao's senior had asked for and had already sent a Celestial Emperor powerhouse.
As soon as he received this message, Xiao Chen knew that he could already deceive Old Ghost.
Therefore, when Old Ghost began to explain again, Qin Haodong's eyes lit up.
Obviously, Xiao Chen was a little distracted.
He was sure that at this juncture, he would definitely be discovered by Old Ghost in an instant if he showed even the slightest bit of distraction.
"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind? "Old Ghost saw that Lin Tian seemed to be a little distracted, so he frowned and asked.
"Ah? Master, it's nothing. What were you talking about just now? "Xiao Chen reacted instantly and looked a little panicked.
Of course, this was all done on purpose.
"Hmph, what's the matter? Say it! How can you learn anything if you keep being distracted like this? "Old Ghost snorted discontentedly.
"Uh, actually it's nothing. When disciple went out two days ago, he found a very special formation plate in the city. Disciple always felt that the formation plate was very strange. Perhaps it was very amazing. Therefore, I have been thinking about that formation plate for the past two days. That's why I was distracted. Please punish me, Master!" Xiao Chen slowly said the excuse that he had previously thought of.
"Formation plate? What formation plate? Tell me in detail! "Ghost Geezer was instantly interested.
"Here's what happened. When I went to the city two days ago, I found a formation plate in a shop. There seemed to be Dao Rhymes circulating on it." Xiao Chen began to make up a story.
