Hehehe........”

Thinking of this, Qin Shou's gaze towards the giant black tortoise became incredibly friendly.

"May I ask why you have come to this?"

Qin Shou bowed to the giant black tortoise.

Master Roshi slowly stretched his neck out of his shell, glanced at Qin Beast, and retorted, "Kid, it was your little fat girl who dragged this old man up the mountain, and you're asking me why I'm here?"

Qin Shou smiled brightly, "Senior is too kind. With your abilities, dealing with those ignorant kids would be as easy as sneezing if you wanted to. How could you possibly be dragged up the mountain by a mere Golden Core cultivator?"

Master Roshi was slightly surprised upon hearing this. "Boy, you can see through my abilities?"

Qin Shou flashed a set of pearly white teeth. "Guess?"

Master Roshi, "I........."

"Oh My God!"

"Master, this big black tortoise can actually talk?"

Before Master Roshi could speak, Yi Cheng, who was standing to the side, had already started to exclaim. He exaggeratedly jumped back a step, his small green eyes staring at the big black turtle in surprise.

"Master, this big black tortoise can talk; it must be very powerful."

"Why don't the geese stew it and give it to our eldest brother to nourish him?"

"Look at Senior Brother, he's such a grown man, yet he's still only at the Qi Refining stage. How pitiful."

Master Roshi: ...You're so polite!

Qin Shou ignored Yi Cheng's words and instead said to Master Roshi, "Senior, please forgive me. My disciple is unruly and immature. If there is anything inappropriate in his words, please forgive me."

"It's alright."

Master Roshi shook his head, staring at Qin Shou and sighing, "It turns out I misjudged you. Fellow Daoist, your cultivation is unfathomable; even an old man like me couldn't see through you."

"But judging from your bone structure, fellow Daoist, you are indeed no more than a hundred years old?"

Master Roshi was both surprised and somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, at this age, even the most monstrous human would only be at the Nascent Soul stage.

But he couldn't see through the young man in front of him.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the other party has a magical artifact to conceal their identity.

The Qin beast then clarified, "Senior, you flatter me. I merely possess one or two family heirlooms, which concealed my aura."

"I see. "

Master Roshi nodded and said, "I came up the mountain to meet the parents of these little bear cubs. Over the years, these kids have been coming to the vicinity of my cave, making a fuss about wanting to capture me."

I've tried to scare them off and make them back down so they won't disturb my peace.

I never expected that these kids would be so stubborn, rushing over every day, threatening to kill me.

Especially that little fat guy, his strength was terrifying, he would beat me to death as soon as he got his hands on me.

This time, it bit right into my butt. I used my supernatural powers to escape into the water for thousands of miles, but this little fatso, I don't know what he ate to grow up like this, just kept biting me and wouldn't let go, and kept punching my tortoise shell.

I was thoroughly annoyed, so I simply let them bring them back so I could meet their parents, explain the situation, and tell them not to bother me again.

Master Roshi slowly began to tell his story.

Qin Shou's lips twitched as he listened, and his gaze flicked toward Yi Cheng.

One of the orange-haired girls frowned, raised her neck and said, "It's always Little Fatty who shouts to kill that big black turtle, catch it and stew it at home. The goose is just there to do the work."

If the master thinks the goose is wrong, then the goose is wrong, but the goose won't apologize.

Qin Beast:............

Master Roshi: ............How does she manage to be so self-righteous!

"Thank you for your leniency, senior. My children are very ignorant. I apologize to you."

Qin Shou clasped his hands together and bowed.

Master Roshi said leisurely, "Heaven cherishes life, and I have never suffered unjustly in my life. I will not take these unruly children seriously. I only hope that you, fellow Daoist, can discipline them a little in the future and not disturb my peace again."

Qin Shou cupped his hands and said, "Certainly, certainly."

"Well then, I'll take my leave."

After saying this, Master Roshi prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Qin Shou quickly called out, "Senior, please wait! I have a favor to ask of you."

Master Roshi raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

Qin Shou pointed to the stone tablet on Master Roshi's back, "This junior wishes to exchange it for the stone on your back, senior."

Master Roshi shook his head. "The stone tablet only seeks a destined person; it will not be exchanged."

Qin Shou's eyes were warm and sincere. "I am the one destined for you."

Master Roshi rolled his eyes. "With skin as thick as yours, you might as well just steal it."

Qin Shou murmured, "If we can't reach an agreement, it's not too late to rob us then."

“...................”

Master Roshi was stunned. "Fellow Daoist, you are truly honest."

Qin Shou waved his hands repeatedly and laughed, "Not at all, not at all, you flatter me."

Master Roshi:..............Am I praising you? ? ? ?

"Do you know the origin of this stone tablet?" Master Roshi asked.

"The Celestial Longevity Stone is a stone that separated from the heart of heaven and earth at the beginning of the formation of this world. It contains the ultimate truth of life. If one can comprehend this divine stone, one can live as long as this world," Qin Beast replied leisurely.

Master Roshi was greatly surprised. "Fellow Daoist, you indeed have great insight and discerning eye. However, our ancestors foretold that this divine stone awaits only a destined person. If you can comprehend this divine stone, I will bestow it upon you. What do you say?"

Qin Shou shook his head. "I won't try to comprehend it; I want to leave it for one of my disciples to study."

Master Roshi said, "Then let your disciple come and meditate for a quarter of an hour. If fate allows, the divine stone will respond."

"well.........."

Qin Shou sighed, "To be frank, my disciple's talent is extremely poor, and he's unlikely to be destined for this divine stone anytime soon. Therefore, I wish to borrow this divine stone from you for a while, so my disciple can study it on this mountain."

"How long do you need to borrow it?"

"Hmm... how about I borrow it for a hundred years first?"

"You should just rob it."

"Very well, then I will be so rude."

Snap—

Qin Shou snapped his fingers, "Azure Dragon!"

Boom!

The next moment, the mountain-protecting formation trembled, and a giant azure dragon, thousands of feet long, roared and coiled above the formation.

Snap—Snap—Snap—

"White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise."

As Qin Shou snapped his fingers three more times, three more sacred beasts appeared, each taking up a position in one of the four directions of the great formation.

Within the great formation, the power of the Qin Beast is invincible.

Unless they are immortals descended to earth, they can all be killed.

"Gurgle..."

Master Roshi swallowed hard, took a step forward, and warmly shook Qin Shou's large hand. His face was full of wrinkles, but his smile was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

"Oh dear, young friend, it's just a mere divine stone. No problem, no problem. So, what do you want to offer in exchange?"

Qin Beast: ...Very good, a wise man submits to circumstances.

When I, the sect leader, ascend to heaven one day, I may be able to take you with me to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven.
