Chương 89: Exchanging Magical Treasures

After sending the Red-Robed Ancestor into reincarnation, Fang Yang sealed the Wuyi Mountain Grotto-Heaven.

When the Red-Robed Ancestor is reincarnated, he will become a disciple of the Jie Sect. This grotto-heaven belongs to the Jie Sect and must be well preserved.

Introducing the reincarnation of a guest from Zixiao Palace into the Jie Sect would only benefit the sect, with no drawbacks. As for who should be the teacher of the Red-Robed Ancestor, that depends on which of the Nine Luminaries True Monarchs first attains the Great Luo Realm.

Now that the Treasure Coin is in hand, the next step is to go to Mount Emei and exchange it with Zhao Gongming for the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

Mount Emei is a famous sacred mountain in ancient times, ranking first among the seventy-two blessed lands. Its majestic and magnificent appearance perfectly reflects the temperament of its master.

Mountains nurture people, and people nurture mountains. The spiritual energy of Mount Emei nourished Zhao Gongming, and in turn, Zhao Gongming's Taoist charm also increased the spirituality of Mount Emei.

Zhao Gongming was also a veteran deity in the primordial world, and his transformation into human form was no later than that of Duobao Daoren. When Duobao Daoren transformed from Duobao Rat into the first disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu, Zhao Gongming also established a master-disciple relationship with Hongyun Laozu at the same time.

Zhao Gongming's strength is definitely comparable to that of Duobao Daoren.

However, like Jinling Shengmu and others, Zhao Gongming preferred to see a harmonious Jie Sect. Therefore, even though Zhao Gongming was the senior outer disciple and had the power to reward and punish outer disciples, he did not step forward to restore order to the outer sect.

Fang Yang's attitude towards Zhao Gongming was the same as his attitude towards Duobao Daoren. As long as they didn't disrupt his grand plan to reorganize the Jie Sect, he wouldn't turn against them.

Therefore, when Fang Yang arrived outside Luofu Cave, he was extremely calm.

Luofu Cave Heaven hangs high above the Golden Peak, its interior shrouded in celestial energy and auspicious clouds, with hundreds and thousands of celestial islands floating above it, making it resemble a miniature celestial realm from afar.

Snapped!

A soft sound rang out from the previously peaceful space, and then an array appeared out of thin air. Fang Yang then walked out from the center of the array.

"Emei Immortal Abode" Fang Yang looked at the plaque standing at the mountain gate. The characters on it were fierce and domineering, and just four characters were enough to express all of Zhao Gongming's domineering spirit.

"His handwriting is excellent, and his cultivation is also excellent, but unfortunately he only knows how to act recklessly."

Zhao Gongming is powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he can't take on the entire Chan Sect by himself! Zhao Gongming is too reckless. If he can't change this personality, he will perish even without the Seven Arrows of Nailhead.

Fang Yang had no intention of giving Zhao Gongming any pointers; he wasn't even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so his words were unconvincing.

"Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, this humble Taoist priest, Fangyang from Qingcheng Mountain, has come to pay his respects!"

Fang Yang's voice pierced through the protective array of Luofu Cave Heaven and entered the depths of Luofu Cave Heaven, causing the mountains to tremble. A flock of flying cranes were startled and crashed headfirst into the depths of the white clouds.

A moment later, a hearty laugh echoed from the depths of the cave.

"Senior Brother Fang Yang, it is an honor to have you here! I am deeply sorry for not greeting you properly!"

Boom!

After the laughter subsided, the great formation enveloping Luofu Cave Heaven cracked open, leaving a passage in the middle. A figure clad in a dark Daoist robe, with a resolute face, stepped through the air into the passage.

This person was Zhao Gongming, the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect and the master of Luofu Cave.

Zhao Gongming's feelings were quite complicated when he learned that Fang Yang had come.

After preaching at Biyou Palace, he increasingly felt that Fang Yang's existence might cause the originally harmonious Jie Sect to split into several factions. He secretly resolved...

We should stay away from Fang Yang to avoid being dragged into factional struggles by him.

However, when Fairy Yunxiao parted ways with him, she made it clear that in the future, she would stand by Fang Yang's side and help him eliminate the Jie Sect. Furthermore, Fairy Yunxiao pointed out that she was very disappointed that Zhao Gongming, during his time as the senior disciple of the outer sect, had relinquished all power to Daoist Duobao.

After Fairy Yunxiao made her stance clear, Zhao Gongming had no choice but to follow his sister.

Although Zhao Gongming had mixed feelings about Fang Yang, his personal disciple who had corrupted his sister, he showed no emotion on his face.

Upon entering the hall, Fang Yang did not exchange pleasantries with Zhao Gongming. He went straight to the point and stated his purpose.

A flash of divine light appeared in Fang Yang's palm, and a precious pearl radiating five-colored light appeared in his hand.

"The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!?"

Zhao Gongming was greatly surprised. He was very familiar with this precious pearl; he had a total of twenty-four of them on him.

He subconsciously looked towards his sea of consciousness, and for a moment, he thought he had accidentally lost one of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. When his divine sense returned to his sea of consciousness, he saw that all twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were present and lying quietly on his sea of consciousness.

This shocked Zhao Gongming even more. If he hadn't lost his magic weapon, how could Fang Yang still possess the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl?

"Junior brother must be wondering why I possess the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl? This treasure was given to me by the Jade Emperor of Heaven."

Fang Yang spoke casually, but Zhao Gongming was utterly shocked.

These disciples of the great sage sect have always been unruly and disregarded any forces outside of it. The Jade Emperor, as the Heavenly Emperor, was the one most severely offended by these disciples.

It's already quite remarkable that the Jade Emperor didn't scheme against the disciples of the Sage Sect; how could he possibly give them a Primordial Spiritual Treasure?

Didn't he know the power of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl? Even just one Sea-Stabilizing Pearl could greatly enhance one's strength.

Before Zhao Gongming could say anything, Fang Yang interrupted him, saying, "Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, I have come here for the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in your possession."

"What?"

Zhao Gongming's expression changed drastically. If Fang Yang were not his personal disciple, he would have already attacked in his rage.

"Senior brother, I know you are lawless and there's nothing you wouldn't dare to do. But to ask for my Sea-Stabilizing Pearl right off the bat—isn't that a bit too much of a boast?"

Zhao Gongming's temperament was just like that: reckless, impulsive, and lacking patience.

He could have learned the truth simply by listening to Fang Yang say just one more word. But Fang Yang hadn't even finished speaking when he snapped.

Seeing Zhao Gongming's sudden change in expression, Fang Yang remained perfectly calm: "Junior Brother, please calm down. I have come here to exchange treasures with you."

The light in his palm flashed again, and the Treasure Coin quietly appeared.

The next moment, Zhao Gongming's mind was completely captivated by the Treasure-Dropping Coin. He stared at it uncontrollably, a voice roaring in his heart, "Get it, you must get it!" The instant he saw the Treasure-Dropping Coin, Zhao Gongming almost lost his composure.

Even Zhao Gongming didn't have this reaction when he saw the Hunyuan Golden Bucket. This shows how deep the connection is between the Falling Treasure Coin and Zhao Gongming.

"This is the Treasure-Dropping Coin! Senior Brother actually wants to use this treasure to exchange for the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl with Junior Brother?"

Zhao Gongming looked ashamed, realizing that he had just been judging Fang Yang by his own petty standards. Fang Yang had not coveted his treasure; he had come with sincerity.
