"Sigh, the speed of my cultivation improvement is still too slow." Jun Lin suppressed his aura and couldn't help but sigh.

Ruan Hange, who was sitting to the side, twitched at the corner of her eye upon hearing this. Was this even human language?

If the rumors are true, Jun Lin only broke through to the Supreme Realm when he caused a great disturbance in the Wudao Holy Land, right?

He's already at the second level of the Supreme Realm in the blink of an eye. Is that slow?

Ruan Hange silently took a sip of wine to suppress the speechlessness and shock in her heart.

Jun Lin's breakthrough in cultivation was rather easy; he now even doubted whether Jun Lin was the legendary chosen one.

Bai Zun, who was also attending the banquet, was shocked by what he saw and became even more determined to seek Jun Lin's help.

As for the Ruan family?

You can try, but don't have too high hopes.

Because the Ruan family doesn't take him seriously at all, which can be seen from Ruan Hange's attitude in the reception hall before.

The banquet lasted until dawn.

Errou was in a good mood because she had tasted almost all the delicacies at the banquet, and she had even eaten most of the fire phoenix.

Although it was originally intended for the three of them.

After the banquet, Ruan Hange warmly requested that Junlin stay at the Ruan family home for a few more days.

But Junlin decisively refused, after all, he still needed to collect other World Orbs.

Ruan Xingyun saw Junlin and the others off.

Bai Zun also left the Ruan family together, and after the entrance to the Ruan family closed, he called out to Jun Lin, "Fellow Daoist, please wait, I have something to ask of you."

Junlin, who was already seated on the golden lion, looked puzzled upon hearing this and asked, "What is it? Didn't you want to ask the Ruan family for help?"

Bai Zun gave a wry smile. "I asked, but they said they might not have time in the next few years."

The so-called lack of time was just a more tactful way of refusing, but it didn't surprise him, so he came to find Junlin.

"Oh, then I don't have time either. You can ask them for help when they have time." Junlin nodded and urged the golden lion to fly away into the distance.

Seeing this, Bai Zun was extremely anxious and quickly followed, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please wait! I can give you all the resources I have, as long as you go to the Wudao Holy Land and rescue my friend!"

In Bai Zun's view, given Jun Lin's abilities and style of doing things, even if he went directly to the Wudao Holy Land to demand the person, the Wudao Holy Land would have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

After all, they couldn't possibly let a holy land with a history of hundreds of thousands of years bear the consequences for a mere seventh-level supreme being, could they?

Jun Lin turned his head. "No, all the resources you have? You've only been out of the Daoless Holy Land for a short time. What resources could you possibly have?"

It seems like this old man is trying to get something for nothing.

Just as expected!

Hearing this, Bai Zun blushed slightly. "Ahem, there aren't many right now, but I can go and collect them. As long as you can rescue my old brother, I'll give you 50% of the resources I collect!"

"The terms are quite good, but..." Jun Lin made a fist with one hand, "I want them all!"

"Forehead……"

Bai Zun was stunned. This was a bit too much. If they gave it all to Jun Lin, how would they cultivate?

50% is already his bottom line!

Seeing Bai Zun hesitate, Jun Lin reminded him again: "Oh right, not only all the resources you will collect in the future, but also all the resources your good brother will collect in the future. If you agree, then make a vow to the Heavenly Dao."

The Heavenly Oath was useless to him, but it was very useful to the native people of the Tianxuan Continent.

Bai Zun clenched his fists and fell into a long silence.

At this moment, he was extremely conflicted.

On one hand, there are all the resources for future cultivation.

On one hand, it's his good brother, and on the other hand, it's the good brother who risked his life to save him. It's a difficult choice for him!

Junlin wasn't in a hurry. He adjusted his position on Eryan's lap and closed his eyes to rest.

Errou lay beside King's Landing, her hands supporting her chin, her gaze shifting between King's Landing and the scenery along the way.

After a long silence.

Bai Zun loosened his clenched fists. He decided to forget about the oath to Heaven. As for Hei Zun, it wasn't that he didn't want to save him, but he was simply powerless to do so!

Hand over all the resources you acquire in the future? Are you kidding me!

Isn't this blocking all his future paths? It's not worth it at all for a so-called good brother!

I figured my brother wouldn't be willing to accept this kind of exploitation.

In an instant, Bai Zun felt relieved after figuring all this out.

The respect that had been in his eyes when he looked at Junlin was gone.

He had asked for a favor before, so he addressed Junlin as a fellow Daoist. Now that he has nothing to ask for and is all alone, Junlin is nothing to him!

Are those powerful families truly afraid of Junlin? They're afraid of Junlin causing trouble within their respective territories.

Ruan Hange is all alone, why would she give Jun Lin so much face?

Thinking of this, Bai Zun flicked his sleeves and said, "Young friend, if you don't want to help, just say so. Why be so aggressive? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if word gets out?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Lin, who had been resting with his eyes closed, was taken aback.

He couldn't help but turn to look at Bai Zun, wondering why this guy had suddenly become so tough.

“I didn’t say I was unwilling to help. As long as you agree to my request, I will go to the Wudao Holy Land immediately to rescue your brother.”

Bai Zun scoffed, "Ha, you want all the resources we'll acquire in the future with just a word? Don't you think that's going too far?"

Junlin understood. He realized that the conditions were too harsh, so he chose to abandon his good brother. That made sense.

So Junlin sat up, shook his head with a pained expression, and said, "You've misunderstood me. I just wanted to test your feelings for your brothers. Did you think I wanted resources? I just wanted to see your attitude, to see your willingness to go to great lengths for your brothers!"

"..."

Bai Zun's lips twitched. He really knew how to lie through his teeth.

Why should he make a vow to Heaven if he doesn't care about resources?

"Young friend, you are joking. If I were to make a vow to Heaven, I would have no choice but to give it to you in the future."

Bai Zun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at E Yan and E Rou beside Jun Lin, and continued, "I still suggest that you restrain yourself a bit, young friend, and don't offend people everywhere. Not everyone will be considerate. You also have a Daoist partner and people you care about, right?"

Jun Lin's expression turned calm. "Oh? What do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?"

Bai Zun smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's not the case. It's just a piece of advice. The people you've offended can't do anything to you, but they can target the people around you."

Hearing Bai Zun's words, Jun Lin nodded and said gratefully, "Senior, you really are a wake-up call. Indeed, I was too kind."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Emperor's Banner suddenly appeared!

Surrounded by black mist, Jun Lin opened his arms and slowly spoke: "Senior's words today have truly enlightened me and made me understand many principles. To show my sincerity and to repay your kindness, I would like to invite you to the banner for a chat. I hope you will not be ungrateful!"
