Chapter 75: Four Immortals: Stop Talking, Please Just Go! [Request First Subscription]

“Guarantee to return?”

Hong Jun held the Pan Gu Flag in his hand and fell silent for a moment.

His silence startled the Yin Yang Daoist.

“Old Daoist, what are you planning? You’re not actually going to agree, are you?”

The Yin Yang Daoist was anxious, but not entirely so.

He put on a loud, dramatic show, but secretly sent a mental message to Hong Jun: “Have you figured out this kid’s true nature? If you have, showing him won’t hurt. If you haven’t, I’m not taking this risk!”

“Since the Yin Yang Universe, even the Tai Ji Tu has been avoiding him lately. I suspect this kid wants to use the Three Opening Treasures for something big.”

“Mm.”

Hong Jun replied softly: “I’ve probed a little, but not fully.”

In that moment of silence, he was actually using the Pan Gu Flag to gather information.

But the Pan Gu Flag reported entering a realm beyond description, its consciousness fading into darkness.

All true—but Hong Jun instinctively felt something was off.

After some thought, Hong Jun decided to investigate later; right now, the priority was to get rid of Xuan Qing.

“I cannot agree to your request on behalf of my friend Yin Yang.”

Hong Jun said solemnly: “The Tai Ji Tu is not my treasure—it belongs to Yin Yang Daoist. You may borrow the Pan Gu Flag from me, but the Tai Ji Tu...”

“Then I’ll borrow the Pan Gu Flag!” Xuan Qing immediately picked up on Hong Jun’s cue.

“???”

Is your bottom line this flexible?

Hong Jun hesitated, then asked: “...Didn’t you just borrow it?”

“That was maintenance. This is the official borrowing.”

Xuan Qing glanced sideways at him, expression clearly saying: “How can you not remember?”

“No!” This time Hong Jun firmly refused.

Joke’s on you—he now suspected the Pan Gu Flag had been tainted by Xuan Qing’s Dao Fruit. How could he possibly lend it out again?

If he lent it again, would the returned item even still be his Pan Gu Flag?

After two consecutive refusals, Xuan Qing snorted: “This you won’t lend, that you won’t lend. You’ve got zero sincerity!”

“Then how about the Qian Kun Ding? You know I’m skilled in forging...”

“Not a chance!”

Xuan Qing’s mention of the Qian Kun Ding summoned the Qian Kun Immortal.

The Qian Kun Immortal appeared from the void, watching Xuan Qing warily: “My Qian Kun Ding only forges proper spiritual treasures!”

Given Xuan Qing’s forging skills, the Qian Kun Immortal was lucky he hadn’t died of anger after seeing them.

How could he possibly lend the Qian Kun Ding to Xuan Qing?

What if, after lending it, the Qian Kun Ding became... improper?

Even Yang Mei Daoist, who had treated Xuan Qing most kindly, now looked bemused: “You open your mouth and name primordial supreme treasures—it puts us in a difficult position.”

“What can I say? The only things in Bai Yu Jing worth my attention are primordial supreme treasures.”

Xuan Qing spread his hands, looking utterly helpless.

“What do you intend to do with the Tai Ji Tu?” Hong Jun asked bluntly.

“Forge a spiritual treasure using it.”

Xuan Qing looked solemnly at the four immortals and said: “Don’t misunderstand me.”

“I’m just a forging immortal. Seeing such supreme treasures, isn’t it natural to study them?”

“If I gain inspiration from them, perhaps I can break through in the art of forging.”

Seeing Xuan Qing’s sincerity, the four immortals’ attitudes softened slightly.

The Qian Kun Immortal said: “If you seek breakthroughs in forging, you may join Bai Yu Jing—we can exchange insights. I have some experience in this field.”

Yin Yang Daoist glanced at Xuan Qing, then at Yu Chentianjun beside him.

He said expressionlessly: “Our past grievances can wait, but don’t mention borrowing treasures again.”

“Primordial supreme treasures concern not only our lives and fortunes, but the very guarantee of our Dao paths. They cannot be lent lightly.”

“No need to lend.”

Xuan Qing smiled: “I’ll come back to Bai Yu Jing next time.”

“Puff~~” Jing Yao Shangzun barely held back his laughter—Xuan Qing meant to ruthlessly exploit Bai Yu Jing!

“Cough, cough~~”

Even Yu Chentianjun was struggling to maintain composure.

He was deeply curious how Xuan Qing managed to be so... natural.

Xuan Qing never mentioned the past conflicts with Yin Yang Daoist—as if they never existed.

Then, he turned right back and discussed borrowing supreme treasures with them as if nothing were amiss.

Xuan Qing looked at the four immortals, now collectively silent, and asked: “What? Is Bai Yu Jing not welcoming me back?”

“Of course not!”

“Welcome, of course welcome.” “We’d be delighted if you came.”

“Yes, delighted! Hahaha.”

The four immortals replied half-heartedly.

They’d just realized a problem: Isn’t this our territory?

How did we become so passive?!

Since when...? The four immortals collectively recalled—it seemed that from the moment Xuan Qing entered Bai Yu Jing, he’d already treated it as his own domain.

【We must get him out quickly!】

The four immortals exchanged glances—they all agreed Xuan Qing must not be allowed to stay any longer.

Hong Jun no longer intended to ask for advice.

He feared the answer would be too improper.

Not only would the problem remain unsolved, but Xuan Qing might contaminate them.

The nascent Immortal Dao might truly be ruined.

The four immortals exchanged mental messages and quickly devised a plan: “If you wish to borrow the Tai Ji Tu for forging...”

“You mean the Tai Ji Tu, the Pan Gu Flag, or the Qian Kun Ding.” Xuan Qing, a meticulous man, immediately corrected them.

“Of course, if you’re willing to lend me all three, I won’t object.”

Lend them all? Why not just die of happiness!

The four immortals rolled their eyes: “Lending you all the supreme treasures is impossible.”

“But if you truly wish to forge, we can help you a little.”

Xuan Qing lowered his head, suppressing a smile, his lips twitching slightly.

After feigning deep thought, Xuan Qing said: “I need a few strands of primordial Yin-Yang energy, a touch of the Pan Gu Flag’s principle of annihilating myriad laws, and the Qian Kun Ding’s primordial breath to reverse-refine the primordial. That should suffice to forge a decent spiritual treasure.”

“Just that?” The four immortals exchanged glances—had they conceded too much?

“Just that.”

Xuan Qing nodded gently, his gaze sincere: “I said I’m forging a treasure. Why are you so cautious?”

“If you’re still uneasy, I’ll stay in Bai Yu Jing and forge right before your eyes. Is that acceptable?”

Yang Mei Daoist chuckled awkwardly: “That’s not necessary.”

Yin Yang Daoist stared at Xuan Qing for a long while, then suddenly said: “Daoist, why not swear a Dao Oath? I need to confirm you’re truly forging. If you are, not just a few strands of primordial Yin-Yang energy—I’ll give each of you three ten strands!”

“Fine!”

Xuan Qing immediately swore the oath.

He genuinely intended to forge.

Seeing Xuan Qing so agreeable,

the four immortals did not relax.

Instead, they grew even more uneasy!

“Give it to him.” Hong Jun made the final decision.

Hong Jun condensed the principle of annihilating myriad laws into a jade sword and handed it to Xuan Qing.

Yin Yang Daoist gave each of the three Xuan Qing companions a Yin-Yang Fish Pendant.

The Qian Kun Immortal reluctantly placed the primordial breath into a pure vase: “I have only one request—can you forge a proper spiritual treasure?”

“Guaranteed proper!”

Xuan Qing patted his chest.

“Fine, since everyone’s giving something, I’ll give something too.”

Yang Mei Daoist casually inserted a sprig of Yang Liu branch into the pure vase.

“Thank you, Daoist!” Xuan Qing’s tone was exceptionally courteous.

The three of Xuan Qing’s party exchanged Dao markers to maintain contact.

“Then...”

Xuan Qing waved to Hong Jun and the others.

“Goodbye, everyone! Don’t forget to invite me to the next assembly!”

"Goodbye!"

The four immortals stood in a row and waved goodbye.

They sent Xiang Xuanqing away as if bidding farewell to a plague demon.
