"The Long-browed Immortal wants to see me?" Ling Yunpo asked in surprise.

What does that old man want from me? Is he trying to assassinate me and take away my Taiyin Suming Sword?

Well, impossible. First of all, the Taiyin Suming Sword will recognize its master, it is impossible for it to follow whoever is stronger; secondly, even if the immortal goes crazy again, Su Jian will definitely stop him.

"Junior brother." An Zhisu said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's a good thing."

Good thing? What good thing could there be?

It can't be that an immortal is giving me enlightenment and forcibly raising my cultivation level... Holy shit!

Ling Yunpo was suddenly startled.

Although he is now using Ajing's illusion to pretend that he is still a Jindan Zhenren, if the immortal directly gives him the initiation, wouldn't he reveal his flaws!

Let alone direct initiation, even if an immortal said, "I have a relic that contains great benefits that can allow you to directly reach the Golden Elixir realm," how should I respond?

If I agree, my cultivation will not be able to continue to "stagnate"; if I don't agree, then why don't I agree? It's unreasonable not to accept the opportunity!

Agree, then go to the ruins and say that unfortunately nothing was found? This excuse was used once before in Yunmengze Kingdom!

Ling Yunpo followed An Zhisu on the sword to the Demon Locking Tower, thinking a lot in his mind, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Others' cultivation progress is too slow, yet they still pretend to be very capable, for fear that their master will look down on them.

However, my cultivation progressed too quickly, so I had to hide my state of mind, hoping that my senior teachers would ignore me... What the hell is this?

Arriving at the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower, the headmaster Su Jian was already waiting there. Seeing Ling Yunpo brought by his daughter, he forced a smile and said:

"Su'er is waiting outside. I'll take Qingheng in."

Ling Yunpo followed him into the tower, only to find that this place was different from the upper level of the Demon Locking Tower. The upper level was an octagonal room, with an archway on each floor, leading to the corresponding demon-imprisoning cave.

Here is a long corridor, and after passing through it, the view suddenly opens up.

I saw that there was a huge space around me, with a dome above my head about thirty feet high, and on it there were a large number of classical Shinto paintings in rich colors.

There are also countless huge swords that pierce into the ground from top to bottom, serving as the support of this inner room.

The sword was not smooth, but was cluttered with corpses pierced by small swords - the skeletons of the corpses were also strange, with feathered creatures spreading their wings, scaled creatures coiling their tails, Kun creatures huddled up, hairy creatures lying prone, horned creatures crawling... There were all kinds of monster corpses in all kinds of postures, and the only thing they had in common was that they were all nailed to the blade of the giant sword.

At the end of the inner room in the distance, there is a high platform made of white jade.

The long-browed immortal was wearing a wide robe with long sleeves. He sat in the center of the platform. The hem of his clothes covered the surrounding ground, and he was closing his eyes to rest.

"The Immortal has been in seclusion here for a long time and is not aware of the affairs of the sect." Su Jian said to Ling Yunpo in secret voice transmission, "I was attacked outside before, and I closed my eyes too hastily, so the Immortal took his anger out on Su'er, but he never ordered to treat you harshly."

Indeed, Ling Yunpo thought to himself.

Not to mention the emperor, even if a senior leader wanted to make things difficult for someone, why would he need to give orders personally?

All I have to do is say a word and my lackeys will naturally get the job done. Am I so stupid as to think that my lackeys act on their own initiative?

"Master is right." Ling Yunpo showed a resolute look and said seriously, "The immortal was deceived by the treacherous people around him, which caused Senior Sister to suffer... I only regret that I can't kill the treacherous people and avenge Senior Sister!"

"Well, this..." Su Jian showed an embarrassed look and said, "It was Elder Minghua who slandered the immortal. You chopped him down with your sword on the Golden Summit of Mount Shu that day."

"Oh." Ling Yunpo nodded seriously, clenched his fist and said, "How hateful! If I had known that he was the one who was slandering me, I shouldn't have let him die so easily!"

Although the long-browed immortal was far away from here, his hearing was extraordinary, so he naturally heard Su Jian's words of excuse and Ling Yunpo's response.

As for Elder Minghua, now that Changmei Immortal knew the truth, he naturally hated him deeply.

But it was indeed him who believed the slander and wanted to make a bet with An Zhisu.

So there were some things he was too embarrassed to say, and he could only ask Su Jian to convey them on his behalf and to make concessions.

Fortunately, Master Qingheng understood the situation well, and Changmei Immortal finally put his mind at ease.

How come I didn't realize before that this child is so smart and sensible? It seems that this Asking for Love Flow is not without merit. At least those who practice Asking for Love Flow are definitely considerate enough...

Just as the long-browed immortal was thinking with such guilt and regret, he saw Su Jian had brought Ling Yunpo up to the stone platform, bowed and said:

"Immortal."

"Yes." The long-browed immortal was ready and planned to apologize to Ling Yunpo patiently first.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

He is a great Golden Immortal. Ever since he took charge of the Shushan sect's immortals, who doesn't worship him as the ancestor?

Now, as an elder, he had to apologize to a junior in a humble manner. He really couldn't bring himself to say it.

But the Long-browed Immortal claims that he is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. If he does something wrong, it is wrong. What’s the use of being an elder?

The Master of Taiyin Sword was almost forced to leave Shushan. Can such a thing be simply brushed aside?

Two contradictory thoughts kept colliding in his mind. The long-browed immortal's beard moved slightly, and his lips stammered. After a long while, he finally uttered a sentence:

"Qingheng... um, have you encountered any bottlenecks in your cultivation recently?"

Su Jian's eyes widened immediately: Master, that's not what we said before!

Didn't I tell you last time that resigning from the position of sect guardian immortal is your explanation to the sect, and Ling Yunpo, as the victim, you still have to give him an explanation separately... Even if the emperor of the mortal world did something wrong, he would have to issue an edict of self-blame! How can you be so stubborn and refuse to admit your mistakes?

"Reply to the Immortal." Ling Yunpo was also secretly alert and said carefully, "I haven't encountered any bottlenecks. My practice is going smoothly."

"Hmm." The Long-Eyebrowed Immortal struggled internally, but said, "You haven't yet reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm, so your speed is really a bit slow..."

As soon as he said this, Su Jian's eyelids twitched, and he realized that he had said something wrong. He was supposed to admit his mistakes to resolve the hatred, but why did he end up finding fault?

Fortunately, Ling Yunpo's expression remained unchanged, and the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal quickly changed the subject and said:

"I have a pill here, called the 'God of Creation Pill'. Take it back and take it, and pass the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible."

Ling Yunpo was stunned upon hearing this, and Su Jian beside him was also shocked.

The so-called Creation Pill, as the name suggests, has the magic of creation. It is specially used to break through the last small realm in a big realm.

For example, the Huafu Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Youwei Stage of the Golden Core Realm, and the Yuting Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, as long as one takes a Divine Pill of Creation, one can immediately ignore the bottleneck and reach the Great Perfection directly, and then one can be promoted after overcoming the tribulation.

However, the method of refining this pill is extremely complicated and has been lost in ancient times. Nowadays, every time one is consumed, one less pill exists... Of course, it should be used on the most precious Nascent Soul Elders. After successfully transcending the tribulation, one more immortal will be created, which is the most cost-effective for the sect.

Now, for the sake of True Man Qingheng, Changmei Immortal was actually willing to take out the Fortune Pill. This courage really surprised Su Jian - although he also wanted his disciple to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, he never dared to ask his master for the Fortune Pill.

Ling Yunpo had racked his brains before and had already figured out how to refuse, so he said with a firm look:

"I appreciate the good intentions of the Immortal. But the Creation Pill is too precious. If we let a Yuanying elder take it, he will immediately reach the Immortal Stage and bring out the maximum value of this pill."

“Although my cultivation is low, I have been appreciated by the Divine Sword and taken care of by my master, but I dare not waste such a divine elixir for my own selfish desires. Otherwise, I am afraid that my Dao heart will be tarnished and my sword heart will be lacking!”

"This divine pill, disciple cannot accept it!"

Ling Yunpo spoke these righteous words so powerfully that both Su Jian and Changmei Xianren were completely dumbfounded.

Faced with a great opportunity that could be achieved overnight, he was able to refuse it without batting an eyelid, and was wholeheartedly thinking about the sake of his sect... What a good child!
