After a moment, as if he had made a major decision, Bi Hui took out a small, pagoda-like object from his storage bag.

He held it in his palm and looked at Zero, saying:

"This is the Buddha Light Pagoda of our Daoguang Sect. It can effectively suppress evil spirits, and its size can be changed at will."

As he spoke, he began to control the tower, and the tower changed size according to his will.

Bi Hui then shrunk it back to its original size and handed it to Zero, saying:

"I don't know if this thing of mine will affect the species you mentioned, but since it was cultivated from that so-called 'demon seed,' it's probably no different from demons and evil spirits. You can keep it for now, just in case."

Looking at Bi Hui's sincere smile, Ling no longer declined.

"In that case, I will accept it. Thank you, Sect Master Bi."

Ling Chao thanked Bi Hui after receiving the small, exquisite pagoda.

Bi Hui waved his hand and said cheerfully:

"It's just a small token of my appreciation."

...

After bringing the rest of the Daoguang Sect members to the north side of the residence, near a corner, Ling Chao Bi Hui explained;

"Sect Master Bi, since most of the people here are ordinary people who have never seen such a scene, I have arranged for your sect's disciples to be placed on the other side to reduce their contact. I hope the Sect Master will not mind."

Bi Hui smiled and said indifferently:

"It's alright, they're not that delicate. They're lucky to have a place to shelter them from the wind and rain. They don't need to be so picky."

"Alright, I've troubled you for so long, so I'll head back to rest now, Brother Ling. See you tomorrow."

After saying this, Bi Hui nodded to Ling and then got up and left.

Only Ling and Chenxin remained in the room.

call……

Seeing that Bi Hui had finally left, Ling breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if her whole body and mind had suddenly relaxed.

Chen Xin looked at Ling curiously and asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? You seem tired from chatting with Sect Leader Bi..."

Zero stretched, turned his gaze to Chen Xin, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips:

"Absolutely, speaking those flowery words is exhausting..."

Chen Xin chuckled and teased:

"I was wondering why you were speaking so cautiously just now, and you seemed a little reserved. I thought... you were frightened by Sect Leader Bi."

"How could that be?"

Ling got up, walked to the window, and suddenly asked:

"You mean... people from the upper realm all talk like that?"

Chen Xin shook his head and explained:

"No, not at all. We're not from ancient times."

"It's just that for some of the three major sects or large families, tradition is very important. They have passed down their traditions to this day and cannot forget their roots, so naturally their etiquette and language are more rigorous."

"I see..."

Zero sighed, feeling a headache coming on at the thought of having to communicate with them again in the future.

It's really exhausting to say those flowery words...

Chen Xin saw through Ling's mood and chuckled softly:

Are you that particular about how you speak?

Zero spread his hands and said seriously:

"Well... firstly, it's out of respect for them. It wouldn't be right if they spoke to me in classical Chinese and I spoke to them in vernacular Chinese, wouldn't that be awkward? Secondly... it's because I'm worried they might not understand..."

Chen Xin laughed heartily, his brows completely relaxed. He seemed to have never been so joyful before.

Looking into Zero's serious eyes, he finally managed to suppress his smile before saying:

"I told you, they're not from ancient times, so naturally they understand vernacular Chinese. Besides... this isn't the Daoguang Emperor's residence, why are there so many formalities? Just look at me, isn't it much easier for us to talk like this?"

Lingyi immediately felt that it made a lot of sense.

At first, Chen Xin and the others seemed to be speaking classical Chinese, and their words and actions were as polite as those of the ancients.

However, after spending a few days together, they have gotten along very well, and sometimes they can even understand each other's thoughts.

Seeing that Ling had figured things out, Chen Xin patted him on the shoulder, smiled, said goodbye, and left.

When only Zero remained in the room, the earth spirit within the space suddenly spoke:

"Zero, show me that tower quickly."

He seemed somewhat agitated in his words.

Zero nodded, and with a sway, he entered the space along with the tower.

Open your hand, and the small Buddha Light Pagoda stands in your palm.

Tu Ling moved in front of Zero in a flash, his eyes never leaving the Buddha light tower in Zero's palm.

Seeing the earth spirit's excited eyes, Zero couldn't help but ask:

"Grandpa Tu Ling, is there some secret about this tower?"

Why is it that Grandpa Tuling can't take his eyes off the tower, and even...?

Why did he feel like he was seeing a long-lost relative...?

"Yes, yes."

Tu Ling became more and more excited as she looked at it, and Lan Yingying's face was practically glued to the Buddha Light Pagoda.

After a while, Tu Ling's excitement gradually subsided. He suddenly looked at Ling and said seriously:

"Thank you."

?

Zero was somewhat confused and didn't understand why the Earth Spirit was thanking him.

Tu Ling pointed to the Buddha Light Pagoda in Ling's hand, which was faintly glowing with golden light, and said:

"I sensed the aura of the Golden Spirit inside."

Golden Spirit? What's that?

"Jinling, are you a friend of Grandpa Tuling?"

Zero asked.

Tu Ling nodded, then suddenly looked to the side. However, since they were in a spatial realm, all Zero could see was emptiness.

The earth spirit slowly said:

“The Metal Spirit, the Wood Spirit, the Water Spirit, the Fire Spirit, and I are the Five Spirits. You don’t need to know the specifics now. I can only say that in a great war a long time ago, we were forced to scatter and fall into different planes.”
