“Spirit Pill Mountain?” The old Taoist’s eyes flashed with surprise, “What do you mean, junior brother? Spirit Pill Mountain has nothing but Alchemy, and the strength of their cultivators is not worth mentioning, even their Sect Master is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“Hmph, only the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

Although the old man in the green robe was the junior brother, he was obviously much more thoughtful. He sneered, “Senior brother, you’re thinking too simply. I used to think so too, but this time the Heavenly Dust Pill was born…”

“What about the Heavenly Dust Pill?”

“Senior brother, did you think that the founder of the Spirit Pill Mountain, who everyone thought was just a rogue cultivator keen on alchemy, would be a Nascent Soul Stage Expert? And he even refined the Heavenly Dust Pill which is a heaven-defying Spirit Medicine. How can the sect created by him be composed of a group of useless waste?” The old man in the green robe showed a sneer on his face.

“Junior brother, you’re saying…”

“Yes, I suspect they are tigers pretending to be pigs. The strength of Spirit Pill Mountain is definitely not third-rate. Although I don’t know if there are any experts in the Nascent Soul period, there are certainly a lot of cultivators in the Core Formation Stage. A first-class sect but so low-key, if that’s not called harboring ambition, then what is?”

“Well, what you said makes sense, then should we…”

“Don’t act rashly for the time being, but we can send some disciples…”

The voice of the old man in the green robe gradually became fainter, and finally, he discussed with his Senior Brother by means of sound transmission.

…

Just as the two old monsters of the Nascent Soul period were discussing secretly, a sound transmission note flew into the Cave Mansion, and the old man in the green robe stretched out his hand, and the sound transmission note turned into a ray of light and fell into his palm.

Injecting his Spiritual Sense into it, a strange expression appeared on his face.

“What’s it about, junior brother?”

“It’s from that girl Ouyang. Take a look at it yourself!” He passed over the sound transmission note.

After a while, the old Taoist looked up and his expression was very ugly, “Impossible, how could Zhang Taibai be a traitor?”

“Nothing is impossible.”

Although the old man in the green robe was also very shocked, he analyzed it calmly, “Ouyang’s sound transmission said very clearly. The last time she went to Taibai’s appointment, she was ambushed by Master Miao, and just a while ago in Kuiyin Mountain, she was in a very desperate situation and had signaled for help. But she did not see anyone coming.”

“Perhaps it was just a coincidence, Zhang Taibai may have also encountered some trouble at the time,” The old Taoist was still somewhat unwilling to believe it.

“That is indeed a possibility, “The old man’s face flashed with a hint of haze, “But now, the Extreme Demon Venerable is very ambitious, and we are all guarding against each other in the Righteous Path. We should still be ready and be careful not to make a mistake…”

“Zhang Taibai has been a disciple under Blue Cloud Mountain for more than 200 years, and among the Core Formation Stage disciples, his strength is quite outstanding. A while ago, martial nephew Qian wanted to enter seclusion and attack the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Stage. He proposed that Zhang Taibai should be the next Sect Master. We, the Blue Cloud Mountain have not treated him badly. Would he really be this ungrateful? “

“It’s hard to know what’s going in the hearts of other people,” The old man in the green robe sighed, “Compared to Zhang Taibai, I would rather believe in the words of Ouyang Qin, with that girl’s character, it’s extremely unlikely for her to be swayed, and Zhang Taibai…Although that kid has a good reputation, he is very pragmatic. If he was offered enough benefits, it would not unthinkable for him to be bought over by the Demonic Path. “

“Then do you want to…”

“Senior brother, don’t worry too much, we’re not yet sure if he’s really a spy, that girl Ouyang might have judged things too quickly. But in case it’s really true, We might as well think of a plan and give that evil old man a very pleasant surprise. In short, don’t frighten the snake, just pay more attention to it. “

…

At the same time, Ouyang Qin had already returned to her Cave Mansion and started to think about that trip to the Kuiyin Mountains. After many hardships and dangers, it was almost certain that Zhang Taibai had colluded with the Demonic Cultivators. After hesitating, she still informed her two Uncle Masters about the matter, but she deliberately hid the parts related to Lin Xuan. This matter was of great importance, and she didn’t want to involve Lin Xuan with it.

Thinking of that boy, Ouyang Qin’s face flashed with a complicated expression.

Tens of thousands of miles away.

“Achoo!”

Lin Xuan sneezed and landed on the ground.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Lin Xuan blankly stared at the distance, struggling and hesitating in his heart and unable to make up his mind.

After leaving the Kuiyin Mountains, Lin Xuan wanted to return to Spirit Pill Mountain and continue his closed-door cultivation. Although this time, he didn’t encounter a lot of danger, and had a lot of gains, but in fact, in addition to his cleverness, luck also played a big role.

But Lin Xuan knew that luck was too abstract, and in the face of absolute strength, it was not very useful. If he wanted to go far on the Immortal Path, the most important thing was cultivation.

So according to his original plan, he would immediately return to Spirit Pill Mountain and enter seclusion, not to mention the condensation of the Golden Core, at least he’d reach the Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection.

That way, he would have a certain degree of self-protection.

However, on the way back, Lin Xuan passed by a market. So he stopped, intending to sell some of his belongings.

After all, this harvest, in addition to the Profound Demon Scripture, the Spirit Beast egg, and other treasures, there were many that could not be used. For example, after the destruction of the fake treasure room’s Formation Array, the six fallen cultivators’ storage bags naturally all fell into his hands.

In addition to picking out some useful treasures, Lin Xuan intended to sell the other things and replace them with Spirit Stones, then buy some materials that could be used in cultivation. This time, Lin Xuan decided to enter seclusion for up to twenty or thirty years.

However, by coincidence, he happened to come across some discussions from the cultivators in the city, all talking about some information on the Cultivation World.

Lin Xuan didn’t care much at first. The most discussed thing was probably about the Heavenly Dust Pill, and that Spirit Medicine was now already in his own storage bag, so there was no need to worry about that.

He was about to leave, but what they said next surprised him!
