Three days later, Ning Songcheng sent people to deliver Bai Sect's main exotic incense and 1.5 million top-grade spirit stones to Zixiao Sect.

During these three days, after several rounds of bargaining, the price was reduced from fifteen drops of exotic incense to eight drops, nearly half less, but still better than they had expected in the beginning. There were also top-grade spirit stones, which were 500,000 more than expected.

Sect Leader Bai asked Yuan Ran to hand all these things over to Gao Han without coveting a single cent.

When Yuanran brought the things, his expression was wooden.

He knew that the two of them had gone out a few days ago and said they wanted to go shopping and buy some materials for refining weapons.

In the end, I went shopping but didn't buy any materials for refining equipment. Instead, I was given two kinds of jadeite and thousand-year-old pine tree for free, which cannot be bought even with spirit stones.

Not only did they not spend a single spiritual stone, but in return, others had to compensate them with spiritual stones and exotic incense. If Yuan Ran had played modern games, he would know the term "possessed by the emperor of luck" after they had gone to such lengths to "go shopping".

"Eight drops of amber. Ningsong City either has no stock left, or there are only one or two drops left. The latter is more likely." Gao Han asked, "How is the whereabouts of the amber tree going?"

Yuan Ran was a little confused. His master was indeed very smart. He knew that Gao Han would ask about this matter, so when he delivered the things, his master told him about it.

At that time, for no reason, he was still moved that his master had told him everything about the strange saliva fragrance tree.

"We already know the location of the Alisma tree, and there may be some movement in the near future."

"Master Bai, are you looking for the fruit of the aloes tree?" Everything has its two extremes. Since aloes has such a strong effect on monster beasts, if there is poison, there must be an antidote nearby.

Moreover, the function of the polysaccharide tree is more than that. Its fruit can not only be used as an antidote, but is also a major material for refining the Brahma Sound Pill.

As the name suggests, after taking the Brahma Sound Pill, there is a certain chance that the cultivator can produce Brahma sounds and enter a state of ecstasy, which is very effective in improving the cultivator's realm.

Because you have to know that selflessness is a state that can only be achieved by chance and only at a specific moment and when the opportunity arises. Most monks may not enter the state of selflessness once in their lifetime, but once they enter the state of selflessness, they will definitely gain something.

However, the gains also depend on the individual. Some people are lucky and may be able to comprehend a realm that others may not be able to comprehend in a hundred years or even a lifetime.

Yuan Ran didn't expect that he could reveal his master's purpose as soon as he opened his mouth. Seeing that he had guessed it, he didn't hide it anymore.

"That's right. The effect of the Brahma Sound Pill may not be so obvious for most cultivators, and the chance of success is not so high, but for the sword cultivators of our Zixiao Sect, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"The biggest difference between sword cultivators and alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman masters, and other cultivators is that as long as they understand it, their sword skills will improve by leaps and bounds."

Therefore, sword cultivators pursue the state of selflessness more than other cultivators. Why did Sect Leader Bai plot against Ning Songcheng and also want to know the planting location of the exotic saliva fragrance tree? It was not for himself, but for the sword cultivators in the entire sect, and even the knife cultivators.

"It's not easy to find the aromatic tree hidden by City Lord Ning Song. All the major forces outside are watching it. Very few people know that the aromatic tree secretes its secretions once every hundred years. If Ning Songzhen hadn't accidentally provoked you this time, allowing us to take advantage of the opportunity, it would probably take us even longer." Yuan Ran explained.

"Then where was this alocasia tree finally found?" Gao Han asked with a nod.

"You may not believe it, but it was discovered in a small town thousands of miles away from Ningsong City. That town is actually the property of the Ningsong City Lord, but no one knows about it, so it has been kept secret." Yuan Ran smiled proudly, "This time, it was Master who used a little trick to discover it."

Gao Han smiled. "If the distance is several thousand miles, it would take a day to travel by flying boat. On the surface, they have three days to consider, but in fact, in order to conceal their tracks, they should go to get the aromatic tree on the first day."

"Yes, Master thought so too. He sent people to keep an eye on Ningsong City that day. They also sent several groups of people away to cover up their tracks, but it was still useless."

"Have you got the fruit of the fragrant tree?" Gao Han asked again.

Yuan Ran shook his head. "It's easy to get the fruits, but if there are fewer, they will find out. Besides, what Master wants is the Alisma tree."

Gao Han tapped the table and thought for a moment, "If there is a whole tree, Ning Songcheng will be able to guess that it was done by Zixiao Sect, right?"

"So we can only settle for the next best thing. Master plans to take its roots and try to plant it. Oh, yes," Yuan Ran said as he took out another object, "This is the fruit of the Alisma tree."

The fruit is purple-brown and looks a bit like a lump of something. It is only half the size of a palm and is flat.

As soon as this fruit is taken out, there is a strange fragrance, which is completely opposite to the strange saliva fragrance. Just by smelling it, the whole mind will be empty and clear. Just a little bit away, it seems that you can enter the state of enlightenment.

Gao Han smelled it and felt vaguely that his state of mind was a little loose.

No wonder countless cultivators are flocking to the Alisma tree. One fruit is equivalent to several years, even hundreds or thousands of years of cultivation for others. Even Buddha would be tempted.

"The aloes tree secretes ten drops of aloes every hundred years, and its fruit only bears fruit once every three hundred years, with only five to ten fruits each time. The yield is extremely rare."

"It is said that only six fruits were produced this time. Master had people pick four of them. This one is for you to prepare for when you go to Yizhang Ridge. Maybe it will come in handy."

Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou are the great contributors to this harvest, and they should be given a fragrant fruit.

As for Ning Songcheng's reaction after discovering that the fruit was missing, that was not within their consideration. The Zixiao Sect was not the only force eyeing the strange fragrant tree, and it should be in chaos there by now.

Yuan Ran thought for a moment and said, "Not many people have the Alien Saliva Fruit. If you meet the City Lord of Ningsong when you reach Yizhang Ridge, it's best not to use it in front of him."

"I know this." Gao Han put away the exotic fragrant fruit.

"After you go to Yizhangling, remember to be careful and don't try to be aggressive." Yuanran warned like an old nanny.

"Didn't Sect Leader Bai tell you what we were going to do in Yizhangling?" Gao Han asked.

Yuan Ran shook his head. "Master didn't say anything. He only said that Grandmaster Uncle told him that you guys have to go to Yizhang Ridge."

Gao Han understood. It seemed that Master Zixiao had not told Sect Leader Bai about Fugui's existence.

Although the gold-devouring beast bloodline in Fugui's body is very thin, it is still very precious. The more people know about it, the higher the chance of the secret being known by others, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"Don't worry, the difference in cultivation this time is huge, we will be careful."

Yuan Ran was a little hesitant, as if he wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

Gao Han took the initiative to ask, "Brother Yuan, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Your cultivation..." Yuan Ran wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't pay attention at first, but later he found out that the two of them were only out for half a month, but after they came back, their cultivation level had actually increased by two small levels respectively.

Gao Han coughed lightly, "It was just luck."

"I also want to try my luck." Yuan Ran looked at them expectantly.

How could Gao Han tell him that the reason their cultivation level improved so quickly was because of dual cultivation?

At this moment, Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly said, "It's not impossible to try to get lucky, but you have to find a partner first, preferably a man."

Yuan Ran was a little confused. Why did he have to find a partner in order to improve his cultivation? And the key was that the partner had to be a man. What was the logic behind this?

"Why does it have to be a man?" he asked without any shame.

Zhongli Tingzhou asked, "How can you practice dual cultivation if you are not a man?"

Yuan Ran: "...The wind is too strong, I can't hear you clearly, could you please say it again, Uncle Master?"

Zhongli Tingzhou looked at him as if he was an idiot. "Is this sentence difficult to understand? Aren't you the future leader of Zixiao Sect? How can you not understand this sentence?"

Yuan Ran's face flushed at his accusation, "No... I know about dual cultivation, but I'm a man, why should I look for a man?"

"Because it's faster to practice dual cultivation with a man."

Having said that, Gao Han no longer wanted to stop it, and he was no longer able to complain.

Yuan Ran was shocked by Zhongli Tingzhou's self-righteous words. He looked at him, then at Gao Han. His confused mind finally cleared up for a moment. He widened his eyes in disbelief, "You..."

He seemed to have discovered an incredible fact. When he thought about it again, he realized that his great-grandmaster Zhongli had gone to the Canggong Pavilion and moved a large number of dual cultivation techniques. All the clues started to fit together.

Why would Gao Han, a sword cultivator, join the Zixiao Sect, which is composed almost entirely of sword cultivators, for the sake of his uncle Zhongli?

Why did Uncle Master Zhongli prefer to offend Uncle Grand Master Tai and take Gao Han with him to Shangjiufeng?

Why did he ask his uncle Tai Shi to accept Gao Han as his disciple?

Why did Gao Han give the first immortal weapon he refined to his uncle Zhongli?

Why did Grandmaster Zhongli suddenly become interested in the dual cultivation technique, etc.

It turns out that there were signs of everything already, but they just didn't notice it.

The two are partners, and have been partners since before they became disciples of the Zixiao Sect.

"It's incredible that you two are actually a couple." Yuan Ran muttered to himself.

Zhongli Tingzhou immediately narrowed his eyes with a threatening aura, "Are you saying that Gao Han and I are not a good match?"

Yuan Ran's mouth twitched at this sentence. He didn't express that he felt that they were not a good match. It was obvious that he was just too shocked.

Not wanting to irritate his great-grandmaster Zhongli, Yuan Ran shook his head tiredly, "I'm afraid there is no pair in the entire Lingtian Continent that is more suitable for you two."

These words immediately made Zhongli Tingzhou feel very comfortable. For the first time, he felt that this nephew was particularly pleasing to the eye. His eyes relaxed and his whole body seemed to glow, dazzling and blinding.

The silent Great-Master Uncle Zhongli really is like a perfect sculpture carefully carved by God. Even Tianzhu Jun, who is regarded as the most handsome man in Lingtian Continent, is probably not half as handsome as him.

What a pity, Yuanran felt deeply moved. No one is perfect. If Master Uncle Zhongli had a better character, he would be perfect.
