"Humph, old man, did you really think that I would join the sect just now because I was going to reject Senior Dau? Are you sure you're not worried? I'm going to kill you!"
At first, Tian Ci wanted to reject Duo Ling directly, but when she turned around to look at Yin Xian, she found that Yin Xian was unmoved and immediately changed her mind.
If he hadn't listened to Duo Ling's words, he wouldn't have thought that he would be so popular. Since there were other sects that were willing to let him join, he would at least make use of them.
"Senior Duo, is it that as long as junior is willing to join your sect, the sect will fulfill your request?"
He had only come to the Hollow Jade Sect to observe the ceremony and had decided to invite Tian Ci into the sect. It was just a temporary thought on his part, and the sect still didn't know what was going on.
The reason he invited Tian Ci to join the sect was because he was interested in Tian Ci's courage and insight. He had courage and foresight, and he could speak and argue. He wanted to find a substitute to deal with the sect's matters.
He was absolutely sure that not only would the sect not reject him, it would also welcome him into the sect.
After becoming a member of the sect, the sect gave him sufficient cultivation resources every year. Thus, he was able to give the sect cultivation resources to be used freely under the conditions of the heaven bestowed cultivation resources.
However, this wasn't without discussion. As long as the sect saw the value of these gifts, they would still agree to some of the sect's demands.
"Little friend Tian Ci, please wait a moment. This Penniless Priest has something to confirm before answering you!"
At this moment, the Duo Ling was sure of something. Not to mention the Heaven's Gift, everyone was very curious. Without waiting for anyone to guess, the Duo Ling had found someone.
"Fellow Daoist Flawless, I heard that two months ago, you promised to protect our Little Friend for ten years. Is that true?"
Yes, the man whom Dollar sought was a man without happiness, and this was also the bargaining chip that increased the value of the gift.
When Duo Ling looked at Duo Long's unhappy expression, everyone was very surprised. After hearing Duo Ling's words, everyone understood why Duo Ling wanted to be unhappy.
Two months ago, no one was happy and had promised to protect Heaven's Gift for ten years. This matter had already been spread out, but later on, there were also rumors that no happiness and almost entered one's heart.
No happiness nor did he expect that Duo Ling would come looking for him. When Duo Ling looked at him, he was also a little surprised. It was only after hearing Duo Ling's words that he understood why Duo Ling had come looking for him.
"The soul has already appeared, and the shape of the soul has changed. Sometimes, when we meet, it's always the same!"
Although it had already been two months, he still remembered the news that Chi Dan had told him. After hearing this news, he almost died from a heart demon.
He understood that Ling Shi had been reincarnated as a human. To him, this was originally good news, but he was already at the end of his life, and seeing him together did mean that they could only be together through fate.
Now, if he didn't want to see the Ling Shi that reincarnated, he wouldn't need to keep his promise from the beginning. After all, he made a vow to meet Ling Li again.
"Fellow Daoist Duo, since I promised to protect you for ten years, I will keep my promise!"
So it turned out that without happiness, he still couldn't let go of Ling Ya. He still wanted to see Ling Li, even if Ling Li had already been reincarnated and was no longer his former lover.
His answer was very certain, without the slightest hesitation. His voice was also very loud, as if he was telling the crowd that if they wanted to do harm to Heaven's Gift, they would have to step over his body.
Hearing his words, the hearts of those who wanted to do harm to their Heaven's Gift, no matter how high their cultivation, sank. Their expressions were ugly to the extreme.
Two hundred years ago, Wu Lun's cultivation was already at the late stage of the tribulation. At that time, he was famous in the cultivation world and feared him the most. It wasn't because of his cultivation level or schemes, but because of his courage to barge into the cultivation world's forbidden area, Kunlun Void.
"Fellow Daoist Lucky, I believe in you. I admire your courage even more!" For the sake of his beloved, he had dared to barge into Karakorum Savant's territory. Duo Ling truly admired him and did not have the slightest intention of being hypocritical.
Duo Ling had already understood his purpose, and he could see that Duo Ling truly admired him, but he didn't need others to admire him. If possible, he would rather the spirit he liked still be alive.
"In fact, my friend Tian Ci, this humble Taoist has not yet consulted any of the sect's opinions when he invited you to join him. Because you have Fellow Daoist Chi Dan with you, This Penniless Priest can guarantee that you can successfully join our sect, and with the cultivation resources promised, This Penniless Priest will have some cultivation resources in the sect every year. I believe that it will be enough for you to cultivate.
"However, don't worry, my little friend. If my sect is able to form good karma with Fellow Daoist Wu Lun, I believe that my sect will definitely agree to some of your requests!"
Even Tian Ci knew that Duo Ling's promise was a bit exaggerated, but he didn't expect her to be so honest. It made him feel that if he were to use Duo Ling again, he would be hacked into pieces.
"Senior Duo Ling, actually, junior doesn't have any other requests. It's just that I have a senior who is old and lacks immortal herbs to increase his lifespan. I wonder if senior will be able to provide me with more than ten!"
If it were just ordinary medicinal plants that increased longevity, then it wouldn't be a big deal, but Heaven's Gift wanted more than ten at a time. If it were just ordinary medicinal plants that increased longevity, then it wouldn't be a big deal, but Heaven's Gift wanted more than ten at a time.
"Who is this brat, could it be that he is possessed by a ghost?"
"He's even more ruthless and greedy than me. Back then, I only asked that old thing Yin Xian for three immortal grasses, and that old thing refused to give me any. This brat asked for ten or so immortal grasses at once. This is too ruthless!"
Chi Dan had always thought that he was greedy, but now that he heard his companion's words, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
In truth, it was just like what everyone thought. Although Tian Ci knew nothing about medicinal herbs, she did not know much about them. She was simply unable to tell the difference in value between medicinal herbs and immortal herbs.
In the past when he was travelling in the mountains, Chi Dan would often find some herbs. Although Tian Ci had some knowledge about it from his senior, he definitely didn't know much about it. As for the immortal herbs, if Xiao Dan didn't ask for them from Yin Xian two months ago, he wouldn't even know about them.
He still remembered when Little Dan asked for three stalks of elixir. Yin Xian's lips twitched. It was enough to see the value of immortal herbs, so he unrestrainedly asked Duo Ling for ten stalks.
He wasn't being greedy. He just wanted to reject Duo Ling, but he couldn't find a good excuse. Thus, he recalled the story he had told before.
Facing such a request, Duo Ling could only bitterly smile.
In the entire cultivation world, we might not even be able to find a single one. As for a medicinal plant that can increase longevity, our sect can provide you with some, as well as pills that can increase longevity.
"If you can take it out, then why did I ask you!?" Although he thought this in his heart, Heaven's Gift was not stupid enough to say such words out loud.
"So that's how it is. I heard that the older the spirit medicine is, the better its efficacy. Does Senior Duo have any spirit medicine over a hundred thousand years old?"
"If there is, can you give me a dozen?"
The older the spirit medicine, the better the effects of it, for example, Yu Yun had mentioned that it would be given to the Sky Cracking Sect for ten thousand, twenty thousand pills. As for thirty thousand years or more of spirit medicine, not to mention the Sky Cracking Sect being unable to afford it, even the most established Jade Void Sect wouldn't be able to afford it, let alone a hundred thousand years.
Fifty thousand years of spirit medicine already possessed spirit, although it was not as strong as immortal grass, it was not far off. As for 100,000 years of spirit medicine, it was equivalent to immortal grass, and if there really was a place with immortal grass and a hundred thousand years of spirit medicine, then it would be Mount Kunlun.
It was as if everyone was already prepared. When they heard that Heaven's Gift wanted a hundred thousand year old elixir, they did not lose their composure like before. All of them began to curse in their hearts.
"If this brat doesn't want immortal medicines, then he wants spiritual medicines over a hundred thousand years old. To ask for ten of them just like that, could it be that he has lost his mind?"
"If there were immortal grasses and a hundred thousand year old elixir, who would be able to hide their infamy and search the entire world for Shentu Shun?!"
"F * ck, why didn't I think of asking that old bastard, Yin Xian, for a few stalks of elixirs that are over 100,000 years old? This kid is smart, no, I'll have to learn from him in the future!" Chi Dan was extremely regretful that he did not manage to get the immortal herbs back then and forgot to get some.
"Senior Duo Ling, this cannot be blamed on this junior, this junior also did not want to do this, it was truly a gracious invitation from you, this junior does not know how to reject your good intentions!" Seeing Duo Ling shake her head and smile bitterly, Tian Ci felt very bad.
"If you don't have any, you can give me ten thousand year old medicinal pills. Junior isn't greedy. I'll just give you ten or so!"
If there was a pill that could increase one's lifespan by 10,000 years, who would still be willing to cultivate? It would be fine if one just refined the pill.
Even if the world did not have such a pill, not everyone would be able to take it out and give it to an outsider. At this moment, even a fool could see that this was the rejection of Duo Ling's kind invitation.
"This kid must have done it on purpose!"
"The Sky Cracking Sect is inviting him out with good intentions. It's fine if this kid doesn't want to go, but he's deliberately making things difficult for us. He really doesn't know what's good for him!"
"What a pity, if only this child was willing to join my sect. Sigh, my entire life I've lived a miserable life!" Once again, Duo Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly. It was not because he didn't want to say it, but because he understood the determination bestowed upon him by the heavens.
Duo Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly three times. He didn't explain himself twice, but everyone could tell that he was trying to make things difficult for Duo Ling. It was too obvious, so Tian Ci started complaining.
"Ah, Senior Duo, you don't know, ah, junior's parents have a hard time of things. If I had pills that could increase my lifespan, they wouldn't have left me earlier. I'm afraid that if Little Dan wasn't careful, he would have run out of lifespan and would have to leave me earlier!"
