nAt the Xuantian Mountain Range…

n

n

nChu Yuan looked at the conflicted expression on the old man’s face and was confused.

n

n

n

n

nAccording to the books he had read back in Springfield City, the cultivation world was the cruelest.

n

n

nFor the sake of cultivation resources, it was normal for brothers to fall out with each other and for family members to kill each other.

n

n

nMurder and robbery were common in the cultivation world.

n

n

nThis was so that one could better walk down the path of cultivation…

n

n

n

n

nOriginally, Chu Yuan had believed it and had come to the Xuantian Mountain Range in high spirits, wanting to kill and rob others.

n

n

nBut now, Chu Yuan refused to believe whatever was said in the books.

n

n

nFrom this old man’s attitude…

n

n

nIt seemed that the cultivation world was nothing like that.

n

n

n

n

nThis old man had started bootlicking him the moment he met him.

n

n

nIn fact, he was bootlicking a bit too enthusiastically.

n

n

nSince the other party has showered me with so many praises, should I also give some back?

n

n

nOne needs to return praises with praises!

n

n

nChu Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the old man suddenly ran up to him.

n

n

n“Dao friend, this is for you. Please accept it as an apology for our offense.”

n

n

n

n

nThe Grand Elder smiled and handed something that looked like a key to Chu Yuan.

n

n

nChu Yuan got hold of the key and took a closer look at it. The key was filled with many marks as if a sword had slashed it. Other than that, there was nothing special about it. It looked extremely plain.

n

n

nOh, and there was a word “ancient” engraved on it.

n

n

nJust this? Didn’t he say that he wanted to gift me something in apology? Why did he give me this little toy?

n

n

nNo one would want this even if it was sold at a street stall, right?

n

n

nAs expected, people in the cultivation world are a bit evil.

n

n

nChu Yuan wore a complicated expression.

n

n

nNot far away, the Grand Elder looked at this peerless expert’s face. He thought that the peerless expert was satisfied, so he couldn’t help but feel delighted.

n

n

n

n

nOthers might not know what the key was, but he did.

n

n

nThis key was the legendary key to opening the Primeval Sword Saint’s ruins!

n

n

nIt was also the most precious item he had.

n

n

nAccording to the legends, if one obtained this key and had the opportunity to enter the Primeval Sword Saint’s ruins, they would be able to obtain the Primeval Sword Saint’s legacy. They could even turn the ruins into a sacred cultivation ground!

n

n

nThe Grand Elder had never had the opportunity to locate the Primeval Sword Saint’s ruins.

n

n

nHe was also unwilling to hand it over to the sect.

n

n

nHowever, it was all good now. Now that he had given this precious treasure as a gift to this peerless expert, he would definitely be remembered.

n

n

nLook at the change in this peerless expert’s expression. He must have seen through the secrets of this key.

n

n

nAs expected of a peerless expert, he has managed to find out the secrets behind this key at a mere glance.

n

n

nThe Grand Elder was overjoyed.

n

n

nOn the other side, the Golden Core disciples could not help but look at the Grand Elder’s gift.

n

n

nThe Grand Elder was so smart to be giving a gift to this peerless expert.

n

n

nIf they could obtain this peerless expert’s favor, would they still need to remain in the Qian Emperor Dao Sect?

n

n

n

n

nGift!

n

n

nThey definitely had to give him a gift!

n

n

nHence, these Golden Core disciples took various items out of their storage bags and gave them one by one to Chu Yuan.

n

n

n“Senior, Senior, that is an apology gift from the Great Elder. We have yet to apologize. This is our apology gift!”

n

n

n“Yes, yes, yes. Senior, this represents my apology. Please accept it!”

n

n

n“Senior! Please accept this junior’s item!”

n

n

n“…”

n

n

nOne treasure after another was delivered to Chu Yuan.

n

n

nMost of these items were suited for those at the Golden Core stage.

n

n

nWhen Chu Yuan saw these things, his eyes became fiery, and he wished he could laugh out loud on the spot.

n

n

nSure, sure!

n

n

nThese people are all good people!

n

n

nIn the future, if someone told him that the cultivation world was full of schemes, he would immediately smash that person’s head into pieces.

n

n

nLook, look!

n

n

nWhat a warm group of cultivators!

n

n

nThey had given him so many treasures the moment they had met him.

n

n

nChu Yuan immediately went to collect the treasures.

n

n

nHowever before he could collect them, the Grand Elder suddenly flipped his palm, and a beam of light shot over.

n

n

nThe Dharma ray of light destroyed all the treasures.

n

n

nChu Yuan was stunned and stood rooted to the ground.

n

n

nMy treasure…

n

n

nMy treasure…

n

n

nMy treasure…

n

n

n…

n

n

nThe Grand Elder glared at the disciples beside him and transmitted his voice secretly.

n

n

n“What are you all trying to do!? How dare you give some trash items meant for those at the Golden Core stage to this person? Are you all trying to make the hidden sect, the Daoless Sect, become enemies with my Qian Emperor Dao Sect?

n

n

n“If the two sects become enemies, can you guys bear the responsibility? You have to know that even the treasures at the Soul Formation stage are not worthy enough to be given to this person. Where did you people get the guts to give something meant for those at the Golden Core stage?”

n

n

nHe was really angry and couldn’t wait to give these disciples a good beating.

n

n

nEven a treasure meant for those at the Soul Formation stage was not sufficient a gift for this peerless expert, lest the treasures meant for those at the Golden Core stage.

n

n

nTo the other party, these were nothing more than trash.

n

n

nGiving trash as a gift would only sully his status.

n

n

nWhen this group of disciples heard what the Grand Elder had said, all of them became clear-headed. They were all scared and shivered in fear, no longer daring to speak.

n

n

nThe Grand Elder thickened his old face and faced Chu Yuan again, saying, “I’m sorry fellow Daoist. These juniors are ignorant and have offended you. Please forgive the rudeness of these juniors.”

n

n

nChu Yuan did not say anything in reply, and his face stiffened.

n

n

nThis person…

n

n

nIt would be fine if he was evil and unkind.

n

n

nHe actually stopped a group of passionate people from giving me gifts and even used his Dharmic power to destroy all of them…

n

n

nThis hatred is absolutely irreconcilable!

n

n

nHe’s the Grand Elder of the Qian Emperor Dao Sect, right? I will definitely remember you!

n

n

n“I’m fine. I’m fine,” Chu Yuan said with an ugly expression.

n

n

nFrom this incident, he could tell that the people in the cultivation world were very passionate.

n

n

nOnly a certain old man was an exception. Other than that, everyone else was pretty nice, like the sect’s disciples in front of him.

n

n

nOne shouldn’t make a judgment based on one anomaly.

n

n

nChu Yuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He looked up at the sky and turned to Zhang Han. “Disciple, it’s getting late. Let’s rest here.”

n

n

nTo be honest, Zhang Han was a little stunned by the scene before him.

n

n

nHowever, this did not stop him from following his Master’s instructions.

n

n

n“Yes, Master.”

n

n

nZhang Han bowed respectfully.

n

n

nAs he bowed, he looked at the sky.

n

n

nIt was still bright…

n

n

nUpon hearing that, Chu Yuan nodded slightly and turned to look at the Grand Elder and the rest. His gaze was very clear.

n

n

nI need to rest, you rat. Get lost.

n

n

nHowever, the Grand Elder didn’t seem to get Chu Yuan’s message. Instead, he approached him and said, “Well, fellow Daoist, I see that the sky is about to turn dark. Why don’t we all rest together here? The more people there are, the stronger we will be. It will also be easier to guard against the demon beasts in the mountain.”

n

n

nIf outsiders were to hear this, they would probably laugh their heads off.

n

n

nThis was a group of Golden Core disciples led by a Soul Formation expert. This lineup was already enough to dominate a large mountain range.

n

n

nYet, the Soul Formation elder had actually said that it was better to have more manpower to guard against the demon beasts in a medium-sized mountain range.

n

n

nWhen Chu Yuan heard this old man’s words, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely.

n

n

nCouldn’t he even tell that he was chasing him away?

n

n

nHowever, those in the cultivation world were all passionate people.

n

n

nHe couldn’t just chase him away.

n

n

nHe could only gnash his teeth and nod. He could only agree…
