"Haha, what a coincidence! The next Immortal Apricot Conference will be held in a year. In the name of the Tang Dynasty government, I can recommend you, Shen, to participate in this conference. As for whether you can get an Immortal Apricot, it depends on your own ability." Yuan Tiangang waved his hand and continued.
After hearing this, Bai Xiaotian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Shen Luo also felt relieved. With his current level of cultivation and several valuable treasures on him, he could even resist a cultivator in the Mahayana stage. He really didn't take the younger generation of the various sects seriously.
"Thank you, Master Yuan, for fighting for this opportunity for me." Shen Luo said with a bow.
"My dear Shen, every time there is a Xianxing Conference, all the major sects will send their strongest disciples. Don't be careless just because you think you are strong enough." Cheng Yaojin reminded.
"Thank you, Duke Cheng, for the reminder. I will definitely do my best." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"There is still one year before the Immortal Apricot Conference. You should first comprehend the blessing of this sacred tree." Yuan Tiangang snapped his fingers and a green light shot over. It turned out to be a green jade slip.
Shen Luo reached out to take it and thanked him again.
"Okay, you all go down." Yuan Tiangang waved his hand.
Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian bowed and retreated.
"How true is what Mr. Shen said this time?" Cheng Yaojin asked after the two left.
"Most of it is true, but the soul fluctuated greatly when describing the source of the information, so it should be fabricated." Yuan Tiangang said lightly.
"This kid is still so cunning." Cheng Yaojin scolded with a smile.
"Maybe it's to cover up some of his secrets. There's nothing wrong with that as long as he doesn't go astray." Yuan Tiangang also smiled.
"Let's report the matter of the five reincarnated demon souls to the Heavenly Court. They are the only ones who can fight against Chi You. We are still too weak." Cheng Yaojin suggested.
"Okay." Yuan Tiangang seemed a little reluctant, but finally nodded and agreed.
…
"Brother Shen, you should just focus on your retreat and comprehend the skills. I still have to report my journey to my master, so I'll take my leave first." Bai Xiaotian walked out of the hall, said something to Shen Luo, and turned to leave.
"Brother Bai, wait a moment." Shen Luo said hurriedly.
"Brother Shen, do you have anything else to say?" Bai Xiaotian turned around.
"It's nothing big. I found two top-grade sunstones in the treasure room of the Holy Lotus Altar Temple and refined them into two jade pendants. I would like to trouble Brother Bai to use the Bai family's secular power to send them to Chunhua County and hand them over to my father." Shen Luo took out two blood-red jade pendants.
The two pieces of sunstone shrank a lot after being refined by him, but the aura they emitted became purer and richer.
"Brother Shen is so filial, don't worry, I will definitely deliver it!" Bai Xiaotian said, patting his chest.
Shen Luo watched Bai Xiaotian walk away and sighed.
Now that he is involved in a fight with the demons, he dares not go home. If the demons find out the whereabouts of his hometown, the Shen family will face a catastrophe.
Shen Luo turned around and went back to his previous residence, sat cross-legged in the house, and immersed his spiritual consciousness into the green jade slip.
The jade slip was densely covered with tiny handwriting, written very neatly, which recorded the secret art of the Divine Tree's Grace.
