Originally, Zhi Rou was prepared to compete with Hu Le.
After all, this is a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, only slightly inferior to an innate supreme treasure. Counting all of the prehistoric world, there are probably no more than ten such treasures.
But now this magical treasure has not only given birth to living beings, but has also become a disciple of Hu Le.
If he were to fight with him again, he would become mortal enemies with Hu Le.
Moreover, although he was a Narcissus who attained enlightenment in the beginning of time, he was not one of those great supernatural beings. Even with his strength, it would be difficult for him to keep such a treasure once he got his hands on it.
Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly and laughed, "So be it. Now that she is already your disciple, how can I possibly lay a hand on her..."
However, at that moment, a streak of light suddenly descended from the sky, rushing towards the twelve-petaled white lotus.
"presumptuous!"
"How dare you, you brat!"
The two shouted simultaneously and tried to stop them.
Hu Le raised his bamboo staff, unleashing a beam of innate five-colored divine light.
Zhirou Shuixian then raised her hand and unleashed a bolt of Kui Shui Divine Thunder.
Just as the man was about to grab the lotus, he was instantly enveloped by the five-colored divine light, and his figure paused for a moment.
At the same time, the Kui Water Divine Lightning unleashed by Zhi Rou struck the newcomer on the head.
"ah!"
This Zhi Rou was, after all, a primordial narcissus who had cultivated the Great Dao of Water for many years. The Sunflower Water Divine Thunder she unleashed was naturally incredibly powerful, instantly causing the newcomer to scream in agony.
Hu Le shook his bamboo staff again, and the five-colored divine light wrapped around the newcomer and rolled back. After swirling around a few times, it immediately sealed the newcomer's primordial spirit and magical power, causing him to lose consciousness.
A moment later, the divine light receded, and the person who had come crashed heavily to the ground.
"That damned bastard is so dim-witted! With you and me here, he still dares to make a move!"
Zhi Rou smiled as she looked down at the man's face.
"Oh...it was him!"
Hu Le asked with a smile, "What, do you recognize this person, fellow Daoist?"
Zhi Rou nodded. "This person is called Yao Guang. He recently moved from the inland land of the Primordial World to the East Sea. His Daoist temple is not far from my Tianshui Palace."
"Oh, no wonder."
Hu Le ignored the impetuous man and turned to Zhi Rou, saying, "Brother Dao, it seems that more and more fellow Daoists will be coming to this island. Let's not waste our time here. Let's take a walk around. We might even have some unexpected gains."
Zhi Rou nodded upon hearing this. Since the twelfth-grade white lotus was no longer meant for him, there was no point in keeping it here any longer.
So he went to the lotus pond, picked several seventh-grade white lotuses, and then bid farewell to his master and apprentice before leaving.
As Hu Le watched Zhi Rou's retreating figure, he couldn't help but nod inwardly. Zhi Rou wasn't bad; she hadn't been blinded by the spiritual treasure. Otherwise, if it were a fight, he wouldn't have held back...
"Alright! You can go back now."
With a flick of his bamboo staff, Hu Le lifted Guan Kong back onto the twelfth-grade white lotus.
Guan Kong bowed to Hu Le, his figure transforming into a wisp of smoke and disappearing into the white lotus.
Hu Le then swept his sleeve and instantly put the entire lotus pond into the gourd, before wandering around the island with his bamboo cane.
He strolled leisurely across the island, casually picking up any rare or unusual items he came across.
As for why he was so relaxed, it was simply because he had realized that after acquiring the twelfth-grade white lotus, there probably wouldn't be any better treasures on the island.
Although Yingzhou Island is one of the three immortal islands in the East China Sea, its own fortune has its limits.
The fact that it was able to nurture even one top-tier innate spiritual object has already exhausted its life force.
Even if other places may nurture some rare treasures or innate spiritual treasures, their quality would probably be difficult to reach the top grade.
Hu Le wandered around the island. Although he encountered a few fellow treasure hunters, they merely nodded to each other and then went their separate ways.
Finally, after Hu Le put away a hundred-zhang-tall innate spiritual jade, he got up and walked towards the outside of the island.
We've already gained enough from this trip.
Now that his connection with Yingzhou Immortal Island has come to an end, he probably won't gain anything more by staying here any longer.
Hu Le passed through the great formation smoothly and left Yingzhou Island. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a burst of five-colored spiritual light suddenly erupted on the island.
In a short while, a bronze mirror shining with five-colored light rose from the island and transformed into a stream of light that shot straight toward Hu Le.
Hu Le subconsciously reached out and grabbed the treasure mirror, then realized what was happening and a hint of surprise rose in his heart.
Since he took human form, he has been traveling far and wide, leaving his footprints in the ends of the earth, in the outer starry sky, and even in the chaos.
But this is the first time that a primordial spiritual treasure has taken the initiative to come and offer itself.
However, after examining the magical artifact, he immediately realized that he had been too happy too soon.
It turns out that this treasure is a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure called the Moon-Illuminating Mirror.
The reason they came to him was not for him, but because they had their eye on his newly accepted apprentice.
Hu Le looked at the trembling mirror in his hand, which had an unruly appearance, sighed, and then threw it into his portable purple gourd.
Guan Kong's primordial spirit was sitting upright on a lotus flower, breathing in and out the innate spiritual energy in the lotus pond, when suddenly a precious mirror descended from the sky and landed in her arms, leaving her somewhat bewildered.
After catching her breath, she finally came to her senses, her little face beaming with delight as she turned the moon-viewing mirror over and over in her hands...
Hu Le, who was outside, saw this scene, and then saw three streaks of light suddenly rise from Yingzhou Island and fly towards him, clearly heading for the Moon Reflection Mirror.
His lips twitched; he regretted taking on this disciple.
The disciple clearly reaped the benefits, but the blame is falling on his head.
And he had no choice but to carry it on his back.
It turns out being a teacher isn't so easy after all!
In the blink of an eye, the three people appeared in front of him, subtly surrounding him.
However, upon seeing Hu Le's face, a hint of hesitation appeared on their faces.
Long ago, most of the high-level cultivators in the East Sea visited Hu Le on Penglai Island, whether they wanted to meet the new Lord of Penglai Island or out of respect for the Heavenly Court or the Taiyi couple.
Those who were able to learn of the emergence of Yingzhou Island in time and easily pass through the great formation to enter the island were naturally the high-level cultivators from the East China Sea.
Therefore, it is not surprising that they could recognize Hu Le.
"So you are the Eastern Divine Lord. I pay my respects."
One of the cultivators, named Dongming, stepped forward and greeted Hu Le.
The remaining two followed suit and greeted Hu Le as well.
One of them was named Xuanyou, and the other was named Yuanqi.
All three were renowned cultivators in the East China Sea region.
"So it's three fellow Daoists, hehe... I know you've come for that spiritual treasure."
"Unfortunately, this item is destined for me, and it seems the three of you will have made a wasted trip this time."
"This? Fellow Daoist, you're mistaken. I clearly discovered that treasure first. How could it be destined for you?" Dongming said with a forced smile.
Clearly, not everyone is as discerning as Zhirou Shuixian, able to resist the temptations of greed when faced with Lingbao...
