Chapter 45

"Ding!"

"Detected that the host has encountered Yuyi Xian, triggering event options. Please make a choice."

"Option one: Chase after him and demand that Yuyi Xian go to Golden Turtle Island to replace the position of Chang-Ear Dingguang Xian. Reward: two Huangzhong Li fruits!"

"Option two: Chase after him and kill him to raise the prestige of the Jie Sect. Reward: Da Luo Dao Fruit!"

While chasing Yuyi Xian, the system options suddenly popped up.

Looking at the first option, Gu Xiu thought for a moment.

Huangzhong Li is rumored to be the head of the ten innate spiritual roots.

It blossoms in ten thousand years, bears fruit in ten thousand years, and takes another ten thousand years to ripen. In thirty thousand years, it can only bear nine fruits. If one is lucky enough to eat one, one can become a Da Luo Golden Immortal.

Of course, this was just an exaggerated description like the flat peaches; it didn't really make one a Da Luo Golden Immortal directly, it just allowed one to quickly achieve this goal, saving countless years of bitter cultivation. These two should be able to let him break through the shackles of the Immortal Golden Immortal and step into the Taiyi Golden Immortal; the Da Luo Golden Immortal would be just around the corner.

Thinking that his current cultivation was all eaten, Gu Xiu felt a bit helpless.

As for the second option, killing Yuyi Xian would directly grant a Da Luo Dao Fruit, which would make him a Da Luo Golden Immortal upon use.

But he had no confidence in killing Yuyi Xian himself.

He could only go and call for help, but he was afraid that by then Yuyi Xian would have long since disappeared.

After weighing it in his heart, the Huangzhong Li was not bad either, and there might be things like the Da Luo Dao Fruit later, so there was no need to rush.

"System, I choose option one."

"Ding!"

"Choice successful. Mission time limit is seven days; the mission will be void after expiration!"

Yuyi Xian revealed his true Peng form, which was very easy to track.

Gu Xiu shook his head; he really didn't hide at all.

After tracking for half a day, Yuyi Xian flew to a lake and flapped his wings.

In an instant, a strong wind rose, and the calm lake surface became turbulent.

The powerful wind force directly stirred the lake water, and countless fish were rolled out of the water by this force. For a time, the shore was full of jumping fish.

Then Yuyi Xian landed on the ground and turned into human form.

He had double buns on his head, a mouth like an eagle, fierce eyes, a gourd hanging from his waist, and a sword on his back.

He gathered all the fish on the shore, started a fire, and roasted them to eat.

Gu Xiu observed from the clouds: "I chased you all the way here just to watch you find something to eat?"

He couldn't help but complain.

"No wonder you were so easily deceived by the snacks made by Randeng from 108 prayer beads, had your heart locked, and could only kneel and beg for mercy."

Thinking about it, he landed in a nearby forest, pretended to meet by chance, and walked out: "May I ask if the one ahead is Fellow Daoist Yuyi Xian?"

Then he cupped his hands: "Congratulations, congratulations."

Yuyi Xian, who was focused on roasting fish, heard someone calling him, stopped, and cupped his hands at Gu Xiu with a confused face.

"Which mountain does Fellow Daoist cultivate on? Have we met before? And where does the congratulation come from?"

Gu Xiu explained enthusiastically: "Does Fellow Daoist not know? Dingguang Xian betrayed the sect, and you killed Chang-Ear Dingguang Xian, performing a great service. The Shangqing Saint intends to let you replace Dingguang Xian's position among the Seven Attendant Immortals. From now on, Fellow Daoist can receive teachings by the Saint's side. By then, Fellow Daoist will truly soar ninety thousand miles."

Yuyi Xian was full of confusion. He had previously turned into a Kun-whale in the East Sea to look for food. Chang-Ear Dingguang Xian wanted to do that kind of thing to him. He had strong self-esteem and a quick temper, so in a fit of anger, he killed the severely injured Dingguang Xian.

Afterward, he was fearful and fled Penglai Immortal Island. Now someone was telling him that Dingguang Xian wanted to betray the sect and that he had performed a great service by killing him.

"Fellow Daoist, are you trying to bluff me?"

"If Fellow Daoist doesn't believe me, you can quietly return to the East Sea to inquire, and you will know whether it is true or false. This is a good opportunity to listen to the Saint's voice. If I were Fellow Daoist, I would definitely not miss this opportunity." Gu Xiu used language and psychology to bewitch Yuyi Xian.

Upon hearing this, Yuyi Xian's heart began to waver.

He had been to Golden Turtle Island and had listened to Tong Tian's preaching several times, and had always been grateful.

If he could be given an opportunity to receive teachings by the Saint's side, he would definitely not miss it.

But thinking that after killing Dingguang Xian, he had never been hunted down by Jie Sect disciples, he felt suspicious.

At first, he thought his escape technique was great, but now that he thought about it, maybe the Jie Sect hadn't sent anyone to hunt him down at all.

"Fellow Daoist, I won't disturb you anymore. How you choose is up to you." Seeing Yuyi Xian's hesitation, Gu Xiu shook his head, let out a heavy sigh, and left with a look of regret.

Seeing Gu Xiu leave, Yuyi Xian thought for a moment.

If it was true, going back wouldn't be a loss at all. Thinking this, he didn't even eat the roasted fish, opened his mouth to swallow the gathered fish alive, spread his wings, and flew toward the East Sea.

Having told Yuyi Xian a bunch of half-truths, Gu Xiu returned to the clouds, sitting comfortably and pleasantly on the treasure carriage, his gaze leisurely, witnessing Yuyi Xian heading toward the East Sea.

A smile appeared on his face.

"It seems everything is going according to plan. Now as long as Yuyi Xian replaces Dingguang Xian's position, the mission can be completed."

But waiting like this was not the way, and he was afraid of accidents on the way, so after thinking about it, he also headed toward the East Sea.

Yuyi Xian was very vigilant and did not dare to go directly to Golden Turtle Island after arriving in the East Sea.

Instead, he specifically looked for nearby loose cultivators and non-registered Jie Sect disciples to inquire about the situation. After learning that the Jie Sect intended for him to be one of the Seven Attendant Immortals,

His heart was overjoyed.

"It seems the Shangqing Saint really did not punish me."

Thinking of this, he headed toward Golden Turtle Island.

Gu Xiu thought for a moment and also followed Yuyi Xian to Golden Turtle Island to deal with any emergencies.

Not long after.

The system rang.

"Ding!"

"Mission complete, congratulations to the host for obtaining two Huangzhong Li fruits!"

Having received the two Huangzhong Li fruits, Gu Xiu was ecstatic in his heart. He immediately returned to his residence on Three Immortals Island, plunged into his cave dwelling, and began to go into seclusion to impact the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Soon, the news about Yuyi Xian replacing Dingguang Xian's position and becoming one of the new Seven Attendant Immortals spread like wildfire.

On the other side.

Yang Chan, with the help of the Profound Heaven Fire Phoenix, Jin Ning, returned to the Primordial world.

Her face was filled with joy.

This way she could return to Three Immortals Island to see Yang Jian and Gu Xiu.

"Thank you, Fairy Jin Ning, for bringing me back."

Jin Ning said indifferently: "No need, this is Empress Nuwa's order. You go and complete Empress Nuwa's mission first; when the time comes, I will come to pick you up."

Yang Chan nodded slightly, watched Jin Ning break through the void and step into Chaos to disappear, then looked in the direction of Three Immortals Island, wishing she could go there right now.

But she hadn't finished what Nuwa had asked her to do, so returning to the Three Islands to see everyone would have to wait.

She sighed lightly.

"Now I can only complete the mission given by Empress Nuwa first, and then go to Three Immortals Island to see Second Brother and the Immortal Elder and the others."

Thinking this, Yang Chan drove her auspicious clouds toward Zhaoge and arrived above the courtyard of the Nuwa Temple.

On this day, Di Xin, as usual, brought Su Daji to reflect on his own mistakes in the Nuwa Temple.
