Chapter 1154: Something's off

Hong Zun's eating was indeed elegant, elegant to the point of having no bounds.

But by the time it was late at night, Ye Zhangqing could hardly sit still, while Hong Zun beside him was still eating unhurriedly.

Take a bite, savor it slowly, then pair it with a good drink—it's practically an immortal's enjoyment.

But Ye Zhangqing looked helpless at this moment.

"Peak Master Hong Zun, this time..."

"Ah, no rush, no rush, as the saying goes, long night stretches, one should not be hasty or impatient."

"I'm not rushing you, damn it, you've been eating for how many Shíchén? You came before it got dark; if you keep eating like this, dawn will break."

"It's rare to have such an opportunity; how could Hong Zun let it slip? If he doesn't enjoy this meal properly, how could he face himself?"

Hong Zun had no intention of leaving; in the end Ye Zhangqing couldn't hold out any longer, so he let Hong Zun eat slowly by himself while he went to rest first.

As for Hong Zun, he really ate until dawn; when the sky lightened, he finally had his fill and staggered out of the canteen.

This meal was so satisfying, no one snatched the food, just pure pleasure.

Hong Zun returned to Divine Sword Peak, but not long after, Lin Potian came rushing over.

He was determined to have this meal today, so he came early.

As soon as he arrived, he found Shan Hu.

"Shan Hu, I've found a treasure on Overlord Spear Peak; want to go have a look?"

"A treasure?"

Upon hearing that, Shan Hu's eyes lit up instantly; this kid is very curious, and hearing 'treasure' he couldn't resist.

Meanwhile, Lin Potian beside him was gently coaxing, stirring the flames, just like a shady uncle luring a child.

Under Lin Potian's persuasion, Shan Hu eventually went with him to Overlord Spear Peak.

When Ye Zhangqing woke up and looked around, Hong Zun had already left, but Shan Hu was nowhere to be seen.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a bad premonition rose in his heart—this kid isn't here again? He couldn't have gotten into trouble again, could he?

Now, whenever Ye Zhangqing doesn't see Shan Hu, he feels uneasy, always feeling that this kid is causing trouble for him again.

"Where's Shan Hu?"

He summoned Zhu Wu and asked; upon hearing, Zhu Wu didn't hide anything and replied truthfully.

"He left with Peak Master Lin Potian early this morning."

"Overlord Spear Peak?"

His heart jumped—two days ago it was Dragon Elephant Peak, yesterday Divine Sword Peak, today Overlord Spear Peak again? What is this kid up to?

In Ye Zhangqing's view, Shan Hu mostly not being in the canteen means trouble; he's really been scared silly.

"Alright, I understand."

He nodded, Ye Zhangqing still intended to go see for himself; this kid is slippery, don't let him cause more trouble later.

Immediately, Ye Zhangqing headed straight for Overlord Spear Peak.

At the same time, on Overlord Spear Peak, Shan Hu was looking at a large stone in his hand.

Its shape was rather peculiar, and its surface extremely smooth, with a faint glimmer, but after looking for a while, Shan Hu couldn't see anything treasure-like about it.

He raised his head doubtfully and looked at Lin Potian.

"Peak Master Lin, is this really a treasure?"

"Absolutely certain, this stone is called the First Treasure of Heaven-Opening and Earth-Splitting, Unprecedented in the World."

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Shan Hu couldn't understand for a moment.

"Heaven-Opening and Earth-Splitting, Unprecedented in the World..."

He could barely remember the name; is this thing really a treasure? No matter how he looked, he couldn't see it—could this be a treasure?

Seeing Shan Hu's doubtful expression, Lin Potian was about to continue his persuasion, but suddenly his Divine Sense detected Ye Zhangqing's arrival—he had already reached Overlord Spear Peak.

His heart tightened—how did this Ye Zhangqing kid get here so fast? I haven't even made a move yet, and he's already here?

Immediately, Lin Potian didn't have time to think further—Ye Zhangqing had arrived, they needed to seize the moment.

Thinking this, Lin Potian immediately looked at Shan Hu and said.

"Shan Hu, it's not your fault you can't see it; actually, the true secret of this First Treasure of Heaven-Opening and Earth-Splitting, Unprecedented in the World lies inside."

"Huh???"

Shan Hu remained dazed by those words, but he did catch a bit.

"Peak Master Lin, what you just said doesn't seem to be that name."

"Huh???"

"Isn't it?"

"No, it isn't."

Lin Potian blinked, "Damn, did I remember the name wrong? This name is naturally something Lin Potian made up."

I just said it offhand earlier and didn't pay attention—did I get it wrong a second time?

But he reacted quickly, and immediately laughed and said.

"You just don't know this—it's an alias."

"An alias?"

Shan Hu widened his big eyes; he'd never heard that treasures could have aliases—one name should be enough, why bother with another?

But given his low cultivation, he was naturally no match for Lin Potian; under Lin Potian's persuasion, Shan Hu soon became dazed.

Without thinking much, with a "pa" sound, he directly smashed the stone in his hand to the ground.

Immediately, Shan Hu examined it closely, but still found nothing treasure-like—just a pile of broken stones.

Moreover, this stone is extremely fragile, just like glass.

"No, where is the treasure?"

Shan Hu looked up at Lin Potian with doubt, and just then Ye Zhangqing arrived.

As Ye Zhangqing approached, Lin Potian immediately straightened his face and spoke with a complex expression.

"Shan Hu, you... you listen to me finish, this heaven-opening, earth-splitting universe's first-ever unparalleled treasure stone is not to be simply smashed like this; if you do this, the treasure will be ruined."

Huh???

The movie emperor is online; at this moment Lin Potian is flawless, with a face of heartache, looking at the scattered stones on the ground, his eyes even turned red and moist.

But Shan Hu's head is full of question marks.

How come the name changed again?

"Peak Master Lin, the name of this treasure stone..."

Huh??? Is it wrong again?

Upon hearing that, Lin Potian was stunned; he remembered that this was indeed the name, could he have misremembered again?

But now is obviously not the time to explain these things; Ye Zhangqing has already arrived.

"Don't worry about these small matters."

"Is this a small matter?"

Shan Hu said doubtfully, "One treasure stone, three names—is this a small matter?"

Shan Hu felt his brain was a bit inadequate, as if something was growing inside his head.

And Ye Zhangqing also appeared just then, looking at the scattered stones on the ground, the bewildered Shan Hu, and Lin Potian crouching on the ground with red-rimmed eyes and a sorrowful face, he asked.

"Peak Master Lin, you are.................."

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's inquiry, Lin Potian, being sly, did not directly explain the reason; instead he made a subtle gesture of wiping away tears, then lifted his head, putting on a forced smile as he looked at Ye Zhangqing and said.

"No... nothing, kid Ye Zhangqing, how did you come?"

Huh???

Looking at Lin Potian like this, as long as your eyes aren't blind you can tell it's not nothing.

Ye Zhangqing frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Shan Hu and said.

"Shan Hu, did you cause trouble again?"

"Big brother, I.................."
