In Windless City, outside the city, there is an inconspicuous small manor.
A hot spring was gushing out hot water. Pi Junzi and Kuang Dao were soaking in the hot spring, exhaling hot air comfortably.
The temperature of the hot spring was extremely high. Even if a dead pig was thrown in, it would be burned to pieces in a few seconds. Pi Junzi and Kuang Dao were very powerful, so they didn't care about the temperature.
In particular, Pi Junzi really enjoyed the warm feeling brought by the hot spring. The dark circles around his sunken eyes had faded a lot, and he looked like a normal and healthy young man.
Kuang Dao sat in the hot spring with his sword in his hand, and the scalding water reached his neck.
Next to him was a wire basket, which contained half a basket of pheasant eggs, swan eggs, emu eggs, etc. He would reach out from time to time, grab an egg, peel it clean in a few seconds, and then swallow the slightly trembling egg into his stomach.
"Comfortable!" Kuang Dao smiled with enjoyment.
He stretched out his arm and grabbed a green porcelain wine jar about a foot square from the spring water beside him. After pulling out the sealed stopper of the wine jar, he opened his mouth and drank a few gulps of the boiling hot liquor. He shivered with comfort and almost shouted "refreshing" to the sky!
"Windless Canyon! I like this place." Pi Junzi said gloomily, "I've always heard that Windless Canyon is a wonder in the Fallen Star Ocean. The five major families have made it a place with good weather and everyone living and working in peace. There are very few private fights and murders. Now it seems that it is really good!"
Patting the water with his palm, Pi Junzi chuckled and said, "Such a good place, it would be great if it could become the base of our Divine Palace!"
Kuang Dao raised his head and glared at Pi Junzi: "Don't anger the Heavenly Master! That kid may look harmless, but he actually has a fierce tiger in his heart. Once he gets angry, he will eat people!"
He took out a huge ostrich egg from the wire basket, shattered the eggshell with one finger, and gnawed it in big mouthfuls. He swallowed the ostrich egg, which weighed several kilograms, in two or three bites, and then he said slowly: "Windless Canyon, since this is the territory he chose, you should destroy those little tricks!"
"Even Elder Jian Jiu of Jianmen was killed just because he said so! Tsk, so majestic, so domineering, and such cruel means!"
"I never thought that the mountain protection formation of Han Cui Cliff is so terrifying. Even if we are allies, I dare not continue to live here." Kuang Dao curled his lips and sneered at Pi Junzi: "Do you think that I hurriedly moved out of Han Cui Cliff and found a yard to live in after seeing him kill Luo Jianjiu? Do you think I have nothing to do?"
"He has so much manpower and material resources in the blessed land, and he is doing well in the Windless Valley. He has also established a relationship with the Heavenly Fire Sect. The Fire Peacock girl is very close to him! The origin of his cousin is also extraordinary! How could I not see through the background of the Water Phoenix?"
Kuang Dao threw the eggshell far away and said in a deep voice: "Just think about it, if such a wonderful person could become a member of my Divine Palace, how wonderful would that be?"
Pi Junzi pondered for a while and nodded slowly.
He looked at Kuang Dao helplessly and said, "It's just that, precisely because he is so brilliant, it's not easy to win him over. Is there anything in our Divine Palace that he would be interested in? Let's not talk about other things, just talk about women. There are not many girls with the looks of Fire Peacock in our Divine Palace!"
Kuang Dao laughed out loud, pointing at Pi Junzi and sneering, "You usually think you're extremely smart, but today I've seen that you're also a fool."
"We don't have any gorgeous girls in our Divine Palace, so why don't you go and rob them? In this war between the Celestials and the Spiritual Cultivators, who knows how many wealthy families will be wiped out, and how many beautiful women will be crushed into mud? How difficult is it to get 1,800 gorgeous girls from them? Tell me, is it difficult?"
Kuang Dao snorted coldly, and he spread his hands comfortably, leaning on the stone slab behind him, muttering to himself: "Tianshi, it is difficult to find any weaknesses in him. He seems to have received some very strict training. There is almost no flaw in his words and deeds on weekdays. Therefore, it is difficult for us to find what kind of weaknesses he has."
"But his second brother Chu Jie... hehe!"
Kuang Dao smiled particularly strangely: "Xiao Pi, from now on you should make friends with the Second Young Master Chu. Eat with him, drink with him, whore with him, gamble with him, anyway, make friends with him as much as possible. He is not a quiet person. If you give him a chance, he will definitely make a huge mess!"
"His chaos is the Heavenly Master's chaos. When there are too many chaos, and the Heavenly Master can't handle them anymore, that's when our chance comes."
Kuang Dao smiled slowly and said, "We want to let the Heavenly Master know the power of our Divine Palace and the value of our Divine Palace. When he was surrounded by countless troubles and didn't know how to deal with them, our Divine Palace took the initiative to lend a hand... He didn't want to owe anyone a favor. I can see that he is such a person."
Pi Junzi stared at Kuang Dao blankly. After a long while, he sighed, "I usually think you only know how to fight and kill. In front of those old guys, you are also rude and rough. I didn't expect that you are so scheming... But, it's okay... Who made my sister like you? The more cunning and crafty you are, the better!"
Pi Junzi grinned and said, "Anyway, I won't suffer any loss! Ha! I won't suffer any loss!"
The two of them were talking back and forth, seemingly in a frivolous manner, but in fact they were seriously discussing how to befriend Chu Tian, and how to go from being verbal allies to true friends and staunch allies.
What makes people depressed is that Chu Tian doesn't seem to be short of money, he doesn't seem to care much about women, and he doesn't have any big ambitions - he gives people the feeling that he is a person who has enclosed a piece of land and is living a peaceful life as a local landlord in his old age!
"What a headache!" Kuang Dao sighed, "How can someone so young, with such a strong cultivation base, who is proficient in alchemy, weapon refining, talismans, formations, puppets...all kinds of talents, have no ambition?"
"You have no ambition. Why do you learn so many things and practice so hard?" Pi Junzi looked at Kuang Dao with a helpless look.
The two looked at each other in silence.
If it is those ambitious young people, it would be too easy to fall into the trap.
If you want money, the shrine will give you more money than you can spend.
If you love women, the shrine can provide you with countless beauties.
You like power, and the Temple of God can allow you to occupy land and become the king.
If you love power, the Temple of God can help you reach the sky in one step!
But Chu Tian doesn't play by the rules. This guy seems to have everything he needs, but he also loves nothing. It's very frustrating to win over such a person.
As he was muttering, a piece of skin on Pi Junzi's wrist suddenly rolled up, and lines of text quickly appeared on the thin skin like pages of a book.
Pi Junzi suddenly stood up from the hot spring. He smiled in surprise and said, "Ha, Elder Tieluo is actually doing things in the Fallen Star Ocean. It's going to be fun to watch! Elder Ghost wants us, the young princes nearby, to take action and respond from afar!"
