"bribe?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Shen Yuan's eyes, and his gaze fell on the other storage treasure boxes.

The fourth level of Hutian magical power allowed Shen Yuan to easily penetrate space and see what was inside the storage treasure box.

The Wen Dao Flower, the Xing Shen Fruit, the Dao Ming Spring... these things are all unique to the Luo Tian Realm. Although the great Dao contained in them is incomplete, they can still be barely considered as treasures of heaven and earth.

In particular, Daoming Spring is a treasure that contains the great way of water and is the treasure that manifests the water of Luotian Realm.

If it could be used for one's own benefit, it would be enough to take Shen Yuan's ability to summon rain to a higher level, and it could be considered an extraordinary item.

Even if it was placed in Linzi City, it was enough to attract the attention of the scholars of Jixia Academy.

“What a big deal!”

Even Shen Yuan couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Qingniu was just his coachman, and the fact that he could bribe a coachman with such a treasure made Shen Yuan curious about who wanted to meet him.

As if noticing the change in Shen Yuan's expression, Qing Niu quickly held a few storage treasure boxes in his hands and handed them to Shen Yuan respectfully, while saying seriously:

"I have not touched these treasures at all, and I have not made any promises to those who want to meet Daozi. Daozi can rest assured."

Shen Yuan glanced at Qingniu with interest, and casually picked up the storage treasure box containing Daomingquan from several storage treasure boxes.

"I'll take this spring of light as it's useful to me, and you can take the rest for yourself."

Qingniu immediately smiled.

"Thank you Daozi for the treasure!"

After carefully putting away the treasure box, Qingniu asked Shen Yuan tentatively:

"So I'm going to reject those people?"

Shen Yuan laughed dumbly: "You idiot, you took the things but didn't even think about helping them."

"You are of such a noble status, Daozi, how can those unidentified guys easily approach you? They spent such a huge price to see you, there must be some unspeakable secret.

Although I am stupid, I can tell what should be done and what should not be done. "

"Aren't you afraid that they will retaliate later?"

"This is the sphere of influence of the Jixia Academy. If they dare to take action, the Jixia Academy will certainly deal with them.

Besides, when you shoot a bull, you have to look at its owner!"

Shen Yuan chuckled and shook his head.

He also realized that although this blue ox looked honest and simple, it was actually quite shrewd and had its own plans.

However, seeing that Qingniu had not hidden anything from him, Shen Yuan was too lazy to care about these things.

Just when Shen Yuan was about to ask Qingniu to reject those who were trying so hard to visit him, when he looked outside the courtyard, he was very unexpectedly able to see several acquaintances.

There are Qingyu, the saint girl of Qingxu, the saint son of Shaoyang who she met once at the Luotian Taoist temple, and a young-looking Zhenjun Lianxu.

The Crown Prince of Dayin, Ji Xuanyi, was followed by Xinyang Marquis Zhao Yuan, who was in the realm of refining emptiness.

The Wave-Devouring God of the Canghai God System and the three righteous gods in the Return to Void Realm of the Donghuang God System.

The eldest prince of the two dragon palaces of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and a true dragon in the realm of refining emptiness.

There was also a high monk in the Lianxu realm who seemed to come from outside the Xuanhuang Realm.

At this moment, everyone gathered outside the courtyard. The atmosphere was tense and it seemed as if a fight would break out if they disagreed.

Further away, the holy places of the caves and heavens such as the Nine Chambers of Baoxian, the Huarong Heaven of Juyang, and the Qingping Heaven of Ziyu were watching from afar.

In front of the small courtyard, almost all the top forces from the Luotian Dharma Assembly in the Xuanhuang Realm gathered.

Shen Yuan also noticed that all the forces that were able to guard the courtyard were commanded by True Lord Lianxu.

Even though other holy places in the caves and heavens are not necessarily inferior to the small and clear heaven, they can only watch from afar because there is no True Lord Lianxu in charge.

“Although all the major forces have no shortage of masters in the Void Refining Realm, there are restrictions on age, comprehension, and fate, and there are very few masters in the Void Refining Realm who meet the requirements.

A person at the Void Refinement Realm can indeed easily suppress other forces."

Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Originally Shen Yuan was somewhat curious about the purpose of these visitors, but after seeing that all of them were trial-takers who were participating in the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms, Shen Yuan guessed their purpose.

The reason why those who are trying the Dao gather here so much and even offer rare treasures to lure Qingniu is naturally to seek greater benefits.

Shen Yuan knew clearly that he was just a lonely and down-and-out Taoist, but in the eyes of outsiders who had just experienced the twelve rings of the Taoist bell, Shen Yuan's identity and image as a Taoist had been infinitely elevated.

Coupled with the ubiquitous influence of the various schools of thought, these test-takers naturally believed that Shen Yuan and the other schools of thought were of the same level.

And compared to the other disciples hiding in the Hundred Schools Cave Heaven, the alone Shen Yuan has a better chance of getting close.

Becoming a disciple of Shen Yuan and becoming a direct descendant of Taoism, or obtaining the secret inheritance of Taoism, are enough to make these Taoist testers excited.

This idea has become the consensus of almost all the test takers, so they naturally gather here.

If Shen Yuan didn't know what Daozi's alias was like, he would probably be tempted too.

“In fact, apart from the false reputation given to a Taoist student, there is nothing else that can be offered.

Plus, there are too many acquaintances present. If they knew that I had obtained the identity of Daozi, it would definitely cause many variables, so it is better not to meet them. "

He made up his mind and was about to ask Qingniu to expel the many practitioners present.

But the sudden appearance of another team of practitioners surprised Shen Yuan.

From the end of the street, Ji Zhaoyang and his group, who were in a dishevel, gradually approached the courtyard.

At this moment, Ji Zhaoyang no longer had the arrogance of being the third prince of Dayin. His spiritual robes were covered with scars, and his aura, which was originally at the peak of his spiritual cultivation, was fluctuating at this moment, as if it would fall at any time.

When Ji Xuanyi saw Ji Zhaoyang and others, he couldn't help but show a bit of surprise in his eyes.

"The three of them, the Great Huanxu Immortals, were unable to kill you. It seems that the Third Imperial Brother has many ways to save his life."

Just yesterday, Ji Xuanyi heard the news that Ji Zhaoyang and others had left Linzi City, so he sent all three Huanxu and three Lianshen under his command to ambush and kill Ji Zhaoyang, while he and Zhao Yuan waited in front of Daozi's courtyard, waiting for the opportunity to meet Daozi.

The three Huanxu and three Lianshen had absolute power suppression. Logically speaking, it should not be difficult to deal with Ji Zhaoyang and others, but he was indeed a little surprised that Ji Zhaoyang could escape this calamity.

Of course, it was just an accident. Ji Zhaoyang was able to escape because Zhao Yuan did not take any action.

Otherwise, Zhao Yuan alone would be enough to kill all the people in the Third Prince's family.

Ji Zhaoyang's face was as gloomy as water, and he walked towards the courtyard gate without saying a word.

Ji Xuanyi's expression turned slightly cold. He glanced at the only remaining Huanxu Great Master beside Ji Zhaoyang and said sarcastically:

"It is important for people to know themselves. During this trip to the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms, my third brother only has two great immortals to protect him. How can he compete with me?

If they had withdrawn earlier and stayed around the Jixia Academy, they might have been able to survive until the end of the ceremony.

If you try to touch something you are not qualified to touch, you will end up falling to pieces."

Ji Zhaoyang remained silent and walked straight to the gate of the courtyard. Holding a storage treasure box in both hands, Ji Zhaoyang said loudly:

"I am Ji Zhaoyang, and I want to present a treasure to Daozi!"

As he spoke, Ji Zhaoyang opened the treasure box in his hand, and a strange-looking plant appeared in front of everyone.

It was a piece of yellow-black tree root. The upper part of it disappeared into the void as if connected to the sky of this world, and the lower part spread from the treasure box to the earth, moving in rhythm with the earth.

The roots of the seemingly ugly dead tree connect heaven and earth. The spiritual power contained in them seems endless, showing an elusive and mysterious way.

"The root of heaven and earth!"

Everyone was stunned, and then their expressions suddenly changed.

"How could he have such a treasure?"

"Even in this Luotian Realm, the Root of Heaven and Earth is the most top-notch natural treasure. It is said to carry one of the sources of the Supreme Being's teachings!"

"He was actually willing to take out such a treasure just to present it to that Taoist?"

"If such a top-notch treasure can be refined, this trip to the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms can be called a complete success. However, he chose to use this treasure to take a chance. He is really crazy!"

Ji Xuanyi stared at Ji Zhaoyang intently, his face filled with indescribable hideousness and distortion.

Twenty thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Dayin royal family entered the Luotian Dharma Hall of the various realms to look for clues about the root of heaven and earth.

However, the Root of Heaven and Earth was not yet mature at that time, and the ceremony was about to end, so the royal predecessors did not pick the Root of Heaven and Earth, but used special secret methods to pass down the information.

Many forces in the heavens have similar methods.

When Ji Xuanyi entered the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms, he tried to look for clues to the root of heaven and earth but found nothing. He just thought that 20,000 years was too long, so the clues to the root of heaven and earth were lost.

Now it seems that there is no clue lost. It is obvious that Ji Zhaoyang got the news in advance and blocked it.

Looking at the Root of Heaven and Earth in Ji Zhaoyang's hand, Ji Xuanyi's heart was bleeding at this moment.

The treasure that should have fallen into his hands was actually used by Ji Zhaoyang to gain an opportunity, which made him furious.

"Third brother, give me the root of heaven and earth in your hand, and I will ensure that you leave the Luotian Dharma Assembly alive!"

Ji Zhaoyang ignored Ji Xuanyi's words.

For the root of heaven and earth, he was ambushed by Ji Xuanyi's men. The strong men under his command suffered heavy casualties and were completely unable to fight against Ji Xuanyi.

Ji Zhaoyang knew very well that even if he used up all the Root of Heaven and Earth, at best he could only break into the state of Return to Void and would not be able to change the situation at all.

Ji Xuanyi would definitely take action to kill me before the end of the Luotian Dharma Assembly of all realms. Even if I hide in the Jixia Academy, I might not be able to save my life.

Rather than waiting to die, it is better to give the root of heaven and earth to the Taoist with mysterious origins and give it a try.

Ji Xuanyi is only relying on Xinyang Hou Zhao Yuan, a powerful Lianxu Zhenjun. Once Ji Zhaoyang successfully obtains Daozi's protection, the mere Lianxu will be nothing and the situation will surely turn around.

In front of the courtyard gate, everyone's eyes were on Ji Zhaoyang.

Ji Xuanyi gritted his teeth but could do nothing about Ji Zhaoyang at the moment. The atmosphere became a little subtle for a moment.

After a long while, the gate of that inconspicuous courtyard was slowly opened, and Qingniu walked out slowly.

His eyes fell on Ji Zhaoyang, and Qingniu said in a low voice:

"Please come in!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the various forces waiting here were in an uproar.

Ji Zhaoyang was even more ecstatic, and hurriedly followed Qingniu into the courtyard holding the storage treasure box.

“Bang!”

The door closed again, leaving only the various forces on the outside looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the courtyard, Shen Yuan took in all the scenes happening outside. He couldn't help but feel a little strange in his eyes, and seemed to feel a subtle sense of disharmony.

At this moment, Qingniu also brought Ji Zhaoyang to Shen Yuan.

Ji Zhaoyang carefully looked at the young man in white in front of him. It was hard to imagine that such a young man would be one of the hundreds of famous schools of thought in Luotian Realm.

For some reason, Ji Zhaoyang vaguely felt that the Taoist in front of him was somewhat familiar to him.

Immediately putting away his somewhat offensive look, Ji Zhaoyang held the treasure box in his hand and said respectfully:

"Ji Zhaoyang is willing to offer treasures to Daozi!"

Shen Yuan looked at Ji Zhaoyang quietly. As Ji Zhaoyang spoke, he already understood where the subtle sense of disharmony came from.

Shen Yuan already had an agreement with Ji Zhaoyang to escort Ji Zhaoyang on his trip to the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms. This was also Ji Zhaoyang's greatest reliance for his confidence in fighting against Crown Prince Ji Xuanyi.

However, in the conversation between Ji Xuanyi and Ji Zhaoyang just now, Shen Yuan was not mentioned.

In addition, Ji Zhaoyang presented the treasure to Shen Yuan directly but he did not feel any surprise and seemed not to know him. This made Shen Yuan certain that the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms had blocked his existence and made all the testers forget about him.

There are only Taoist disciples in the Luotian Realm, but no Luoyun Taoist from the Xuanhuang Realm.

"This should also be the influence brought by the Daoguo throne."

There is no doubt that this is good news for Shen Yuan.

The test-takers from all walks of life were unaware of Shen Yuan's identity, which undoubtedly gave Shen Yuan the opportunity to plot something from it.

His eyes fell on Ji Zhaoyang, and Shen Yuan felt a little emotional.

Before entering the Luotian Dharma Assembly of All Realms, I had made an agreement with Ji Zhaoyang to protect him. Even though my existence was blocked now, Ji Zhaoyang still came to me after going around in circles.

"To survive in desperate situations requires extraordinary courage and determination."

"Tell me, what do you want?"

…

Outside the courtyard, all the forces gathered here looked at the courtyard with curiosity, with different thoughts in their minds.

Only Prince Ji Xuanyi of Dayin looked rather nervous after Ji Zhaoyang entered the courtyard.

Xinyang Marquis Zhao Yuan saw Ji Xuanyi's uneasiness and comforted him:

“Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Even if Ji Zhaoyang takes out the Root of Heaven and Earth, he only gets the opportunity to meet Daozi.

How can a mere True Person at the peak of Spirit Refining enter the eyes of a Taoist master? It is only a matter of time before he is expelled!"

As soon as the words fell, the loud sound from the Jixia Academy spread throughout the entire Linzi city.

Then, a majestic voice resounded through heaven and earth.

"Ji Zhaoyang is gifted with intelligence and good moral character. He should be accepted as a disciple of Daozi and become a senior disciple of the Taoist school.

Dai Daozi walks the world, and students all over the world respect him! "
