Chapter 106: If Second Brother Were Here, Who Would Dare Cheat Me!

  The white-clothed girl beside him suddenly understood the change that had occurred on Zhao Zhu's body, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment.

  She has a complete master inheritance, and she has a very deep understanding of many subtleties in her practice. It's quite surprising that Zhao Zhuo can break through his heart. You know, those who can break through their hearts are not those who have traveled the world, experienced many things, and slowly polished a crystal clear heart, suddenly enlightened and took another step closer to the Great Way.

  Although it is said that breaking through the original heart has nothing to do with the depth of cultivation, after all, many strong cultivators who have reached the Unity period also find it difficult to break through the original heart. Some talented cultivators can even break through the original heart in the Dharma phase, the key lies in the opportunity.

  Bai Jingjing had gone through countless life-and-death struggles on the Island of Death before she could barely grasp Zhao Zhuo's true intentions. Zhao Zhuo had only been cultivating for a few years, but others were unaware that Bai Jingjing had personally witnessed his rapid progress, which was frighteningly fast. Now, having broken through to the next level, Zhao Zhuo left Bai Jingjing shocked and inwardly sighing at how abnormal he had become.

  Bai Jingyu noticed Zhao Zhuo's gaze was a bit strange, and couldn't help but say: "Jingyu, why are you looking at me with that kind of gaze?"

  Bai Jingjing just said: "Really given to monsters"

  On the side, He Lian Bo heard this and was first stunned, then burst out laughing: "That's right, what Bai Guniang said is really too correct, you little devil are indeed a freak!"

  Zhao Duo rubbed his nose, with a face full of confusion.

  Just then, two cultivators from the Zhongshou Sect came forward and, upon seeing He Lianbo and Liu Wushuang, showed respectful expressions on their faces, saying: "Greetings, Senior He Lianbo and Senior Liu!"

  He Lianbo just glanced at the two of them with a calm expression, where was the ease and closeness he had when talking to Zhao Suo before?

  However, regarding Helian Bo's cold reaction, the two disciples of Chongxiao Sect seemed to have no surprise, with a look of "as expected". When their eyes fell on Zhao Suo and Bai Jingqiu, they looked puzzled and said: "I don't know about the two of you..."

  It was obvious that the two saw Zhao Suo and Bai Jing together with He Lian Bo, but they couldn't recognize Zhao Suo and Bai Jing's origins, so they had to ask them tactfully.

  Zhao Duo said faintly: "A lone cultivator, I heard that the young master of Chongxiao Sect is overjoyed, so I came to pay my respects and brought this as a gift."

  As he spoke, Zhao Zhuo flipped his hand and a white jade box appeared.

  When they heard that Zhao Zhuo and Bai Jing were just loose cultivators, the respect in the eyes of the two Chongxiao Sect disciples disappeared, replaced by a hint of disdain. Without any courtesy, they took the white jade box from him and handed it over to the person behind them who was responsible for collecting and registering gifts.

  Zhao Duo saw the change in their attitudes and smiled with a hint of playfulness: "Don't you two want to take a look at what I've brought?"

  The two of them sneered and laughed: "Just a lone cultivator, what good things could he possibly have?"

  Zhao Duo didn't get angry, he just looked at the two of them and said: "Don't you two want to take a look?"

  Seeing Zhao Zhuo's strange smile, the two of them exchanged a glance. One of them took the jade box in his hand and slowly opened it. At the moment it was opened, the person's face showed a shocked expression, their mouth agape as if they had seen a ghost.

  "How's this? This gift should be substantial enough, shouldn't it?"

  Zhao Zhuo and the others' actions attracted a lot of attention, especially when they saw the disciple of Chongxiang Sect open the jade box and reveal a shocked expression on his face, which immediately piqued everyone's curiosity.

  Another disciple saw the strange expression on his senior brother's face and couldn't help but look into the jade box, only to react not much better than him, also revealing a shocked and disbelieving expression.

  He Lianbo just took a glance and couldn't help but exclaim: "Bì Luòzhī, it's actually a congenital spiritual material!"

  He Lianbo's vision was not bad, and he recognized at a glance the emerald green branch that looked like jade, which was indeed extremely rare and scarce congenital spiritual material. If it fell into the hands of the masters who refined the law treasures, this emerald green branch could be refined into a postnatal spiritual treasure, which showed the preciousness of Zhao Suo's gift of the emerald green branch.

  Bai Jing looked at Zhao Zhuo with a glance, admiring him in her heart. Although Zhao Zhuo had many rare and precious items in his hands, if it were her, she would never take out the Bi Luo branch, which was a rare and precious item from nature. But Zhao Zhuo did just that, instantly attracting the attention of many people.

  Zhao Duo's face was calm as he said, "I don't know if you two are satisfied with this gift of mine?"

  Two disciples of the Zhongsheng Sect looked at Zhao Zhuang with a completely changed gaze, and respectfully said: "I don't know how to address you, Daoist friend. Please forgive any disrespect."

  Zhao Duo waved his hand and said: "I am Zhao Duo, this is my fellow traveler Bai Jing."

  Bai Jing's face turned slightly red, but she couldn't tell.

  Two disciples nodded and said to the younger brother behind them: "Hurry up and write it down, Zhao Shuo and Bai Jingjian present a congratulatory gift, one Bi Luo branch"

  Zhao Duo suddenly said: "It's just a branch of Bi Luo, when the young master gets married, I will present another heavy gift"

  As soon as the words were spoken, they immediately caused a stir among the people around them, who looked at Zhao Zhuo with strange eyes. The Bi Luo branch was already extremely precious, and there existed something even more precious than the Bi Luo branch, which was a congenital spiritual material. What kind of treasure would that be? Wasn't Zhao Zhuo going to offer up a spiritual treasure?

  Bai Jing didn't know what kind of idea Zhao Zhuo had, but she also knew that he must have his own thoughts, so her face was calm and collected.

  This made many people who doubted Zhao Shuo's words feel uncertain, after all, Bai Jingjing's reaction was too calm, as if Zhao Shuo's words were true.

  Of course, many people think that Zhao is just bragging, after all, there aren't many things more precious than congenital spiritual treasures. For example, spiritual treasures are rare, and even the strongest of the Return to One period may not have one. Unless you're an idiot, who would give away their own spiritual treasure to someone else? Unless they had so many that it was burning a hole in their pocket.

  No matter what, even if it's just for the sake of Zhao Zhuo's gift of pre-heavenly spiritual materials, the people of Chongxiao Sect will still have to show some respect to Zhao Zhuo. If there's any disrespect, it would chill the hearts of many people. Although Chongxiao Sect has been doing this for so many years and has already chilled the hearts of countless people, now that someone who seems to want to attach themselves to Chongxiao Sect has finally appeared, even if it's just for show, they still have to treat Zhao Zhuo as a signboard.

  Zhao Zhuo temporarily stayed in a small courtyard, which should be a resting place specially prepared for some dignitaries of the Chongxiao Sect.

  Perhaps because they saw Zhao Zhuo and He Lianbo coming together, the people of Chongxiao Zong arranged for the two to live in one place, with the two courtyards attached to each other.

  At this time, He Lianbo was sitting under a big tree, looking at Zhao Shuo with a puzzled face: "Brother Zhao Shuo, if my eyes are not blind, you should have some grudges against Chongxiao Sect, but your actions just now made me somewhat unclear what you want to do"

  Zhao Duo sipped his clear tea, leaning back in his chair, gazing at the sky with a hint of a sly smile: "I said I'd give that young master a big gift"

  He Lianbo stared at Zhao Shuo for a while, and then stared at the white clouds in the sky: "I don't believe it"

  Zhao Duo laughed and said: "If Elder He Lian doesn't believe it, he'll know when the time comes."

  He Lian's face turned serious and he said, "Although I don't know what you're planning to do, brother, but if possible, it's best not to provoke the Chongxiao Sect. It's not that I look down on your cultivation, but rather, your and Bai's cultivation is still a bit inferior compared to those elders of the Chongxiao Sect."

  If Helian Bobi wasn't truly considering Zhao Zhuo and Bai Jing as friends, he absolutely wouldn't have said such words; after all, if the other party were to take offense, it would be very insulting.

  Zhao Duo shook his head and said: "Thank you for your concern, Brother He Lian. I know what's appropriate."

  Seeing Zhao Zhuo speak like this, He Lianbo also stopped talking. Anyway, he had said all that could be said. If he continued to talk, it would seem a bit too much and only provoke annoyance.

  On the side, Bai Jing and Liu Wushuang were chatting and laughing, but neither of their minds was on each other. The two women's casual conversation was just a cover, as they actually had their attention focused on the two men standing nearby.

  After sending away He Lian Bo and Liu Wu Shuang, Bai Jing looked at Zhao Zhuo who was lying there again and said: "Zhao Zhuo, what do you want to do?"

  Zhao Duo said faintly: "Nothing much, just thinking of giving Chong Xiao Zong a surprise at the right time."

  Seeing Zhao Zhuo being so mysterious, he glanced at Zhao Zhuo and said: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it, anyway, when the time comes, I'll just escape with my life if someone chases me."

  Zhao Duo couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pull Bai Jing into his arms, wrapping his hands around her slender waist. Bai Jing sat on Zhao Duo's leg, her face red, knowing she couldn't escape, yet still struggling a bit. But unexpectedly, this struggle caused Zhao Duo's breathing to become urgent, and a hidden flame rose up.

  Suddenly aware of Zhao Shuo's physical reaction, Bai Jingyi let out a soft hum and stiffened her body, no longer daring to provoke Zhao Shuo.

  Zhao Duo was already very satisfied with being able to hold Bai Jingjing, so he didn't overstimulate her either. The two of them simply leaned against each other quietly.

  The night fell, and the entire Chongxiao Mountain gradually quieted down. Except for the occasional disciples patrolling in the heavy courtyards of Chongxiao Mountain, the vast Chongxiao Sect seemed to be a giant ancient beast coiled at the top of the mountain.

  A figure emerged from a courtyard and soon disappeared into the night.

  Zhao Duo quietly made his way through the heavily guarded Chongxiao Mountain, although Feng Quan had never entered the interior of Chongxiao Mountain before, some internal affairs could still be inquired about. The timid Feng Quan was very familiar with Zhao Duo, so Zhao Duo also roughly knew some things about the internal affairs of Chongxiao Mountain.

  The core of Chongxiao Sect is not the majestic and continuous grand halls and courtyards that appear in front of the world, but these grand halls and courtyards are only where those core disciples or many attendants live.

  Many elders and the master of the Chongxiao Sect were inside the belly of Mount Chongxiao. In those days, a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Chongxiao Sword, was born from Mount Chongxiao. The sword's aura pierced through the sky, creating a deep gash several hundred meters long that went straight through the mountain from its belly.

  That sword mark was extremely deep, extending straight into the belly of the mountain, and the ancestor of Chongxiao Sect took advantage of this terrain to establish Chongxiao Sect. With countless years of development, the huge crack that penetrated the belly of the mountain had become the core of Chongxiao Sect.

  Zhao Zhuo dodged one after another of the open or secret sentry posts, and when he saw the gigantic sword-shaped deep ditch that went deep into the heart of the mountain, Zhao Zhuo could even imagine the grand scene when Chong Xiao Sword was born.

  In that deep and secluded sword-shaped valley, layer upon layer of stairs appeared, with a cave behind each level of stairs.

  Zhao Duo learned from Feng Quan that as one went further down, the cultivation of the Elders residing within became increasingly profound. If the cultivation of the upper-level Elders was at the initial stage of Returning to One, then the middle-level Elders' cultivation would be at the intermediate or advanced stage of Returning to One.

  Zhao Duo wanted to sneak into Luo Tong's residence, which was located in the middle layer of Jian Gu. The reason why Luo Tong could live in the middle layer of Jian Gu was not because of his high cultivation level, but because it was personally arranged by Luo Tong's father, Luo Yang.

  The silent and stealthy crossing of the elder's dwelling place through many realms may be quite difficult for others, but with Zhao Suo's treasure light flashing in his hand, a jade bridge silently submerged into the void, which was precisely the Naihe Bridge.

  Zhao Zhuo's figure disappeared along with the Yin Yang Bridge of Life and Death.

  A faint spatial fluctuation spread out, and an elder suddenly appeared. However, after investigating for a while, nothing was found, and he shook his head and returned to his own secluded mountain cave.

  No matter what, he would never have thought that someone would dare to trespass on the forbidden land of Chongxiao Sect. With the vast power of Chongxiao Sect's forbidden land, unless it was a Daojun period strong practitioner, otherwise even if it was a Guiyuan period great perfection strong practitioner who came in, it would still be a one-way trip.

  A magnificent and majestic cave appeared in front of Zhao Zhuo, just looking at the grandeur of the cave, Zhao Zhuo did not hesitate, and with one glance, he was certain that this cave was Luo Tong's residence.

  It's probably only Luo Tong who would make his own residence so luxurious, unless those reclusive old men have gone crazy, otherwise how could they who are devoted to ascetic cultivation indulge in such pleasures.

  Two fairly decent-looking women were guarding the entrance of the cave, Zhao Zhuo just took a glance and sighed, in this world there are all kinds of women, never lacking those who sell their souls and bodies, just by looking at the two women arranged to guard the entrance of the cave, Zhao Zhuo knew that these two women must be Luo Tong's trusted confidants.

  The cultivation of the two women was not bad, and they actually had the cultivation of the middle stage of the Divine Path, which was not much worse than Zhao Zhuang.

  Lu Tong was only a mid-stage cultivator of the Divine Path, but even the gatekeepers of their family were all mid-stage cultivators of the Divine Path. It was indeed the case that those from prestigious and powerful sects never lacked strong cultivators to serve them.

  Steady your mind, Zhao Zhuo's figure disappeared silently and quietly approached the two women. At the same time, Beiming Kunpeng's law appeared. When the two women realized something was wrong, before they could react, an unstoppable force came from the Tianling above their heads, instantly shattering the two women's yuan Shen Zu Xiang.

  Two women cultivated for a thousand years, their bodies refined to the point of being indistinguishable, but because of a momentary lapse in attention, Zhao Shuo sneaked up and ruined their lives.

  If Zhao Zhuo were to fight the two women, he would probably want to take them down without using all his moves. However, in a sneak attack, the two women are not much stronger than ordinary people, and even their Dharma forms are blown away by Zhao Zhuo.

  With ease, he took down the two women, Zhao Zhuo waved his hand and collected the corpses of the two women, quietly slipping into the mountain cave.

  Inside the cave, however, it was vastly different. The top of the cave was adorned with large pearls that illuminated the entire space, and what appeared before Zhao Zhuo's eyes was a wide courtyard, with pavilions, towers, small bridges, flowing water, and artificial hills standing upright. Zhao Zhuo even suspected that he had walked into the wrong place.

  But everything in front of him was as real as it could be, and yet there was such a scene in the belly of the mountain. Zhao Zhuo was only slightly surprised, after all, with the means of a cultivator, it wasn't difficult to achieve this, given time, within ten days or half a month, he too could create such a courtyard in the cave.

  What really astonished Zhao Zhuo was Luo Tong's mind. How could ordinary people think of building a courtyard in a cave?

  Originally, Zhao Zhuo looked down on Luo Tong and didn't take him seriously. However, now it seems that Luo Tong's arrogance is not without reason, whether in terms of cultivation or cleverness, he can be considered a top-notch talent for the time being.

  Inside the cave, red and colorful decorations are everywhere, it can be seen that Luo Tong attaches great importance to his own wedding.

  The courtyard was exquisite but not too big, Zhao Zhuo's figure silently disappeared among the courtyards.

  In a somewhat secluded courtyard, on the top of a tall small building, with the window open, a delicate face appeared, and if Zhao Shuo saw it, he would surely exclaim in surprise.

  The girl's eyes were dazed, and her thoughts seemed to be in great disarray. Just then, a voice came from behind her: "Miss, according to your instructions, the lady has been invited."

  The young woman's body trembled slightly, and she slowly turned around, her eyes fixed intently on the lady who looked to be only in her thirties.

  "Mother!"

  The lady took a few steps forward and gently hugged the girl, saying: "Silly child, what are you crying about?"

  The girl lifted her head and with a smile on her lovely face, which was like a pear blossom in the rain, said: "I miss my mother."

  "Swallow, you've really suffered, if it weren't for your mother, why would you have to endure such humiliation?"

  The girl shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm wronged, but rather we were careless. Luo Tong is extremely good at hiding his true nature, and he doesn't seem as greedy for women as he appears to be. His face has deceived countless people. Now, he's single-mindedly plotting to get his hands on my daughter's North Ming Xue Di secret method, so he won't do anything to her."

  These two people were none other than Zhao Luan and Su Xiang.

  Su Su sighed and said: "But in two days, you will be married to Luo Tong, and at that time, he will be your legitimate husband in front of the whole world. What can we do about it?"

  Zhao Lian's lips were bitten red, and her eyes showed a wronged expression: "Big brother got separated from us, and until now we don't know how he is. Second brother went missing in the Death Island sea area for over ten years. If second brother was here, he definitely wouldn't let anyone bully Lian'er."

  "The new book is on the shelves, those who can subscribe should subscribe, and if there are flowers, they must be thrown. Flowers are the driving force for explosion, at least 300,000 words will explode, let's make it more intense!"
