56: cooperate

“Amitabha! Great Master is truly merciful.”

“I am willing to lend the Great Master a hand.”

With that, the Cultivator stood up from the ground.

He then immediately contacted a few people he had just met when he entered.

These people were not from his Family.

The reason he added their contact information was mainly because he had planned to group up for warmth after entering.

But earlier, he was disliked for his low cultivation and was eventually brought here by Wang Gou.

Now, his heart was still filled with annoyance towards these people.

They had originally agreed to advance and retreat together, but this group of people completely ignored him.

Currently, it was the perfect time to repay Wang Gou's protection and strengthen their relationship.

He smiled calmly at Wang Gou.

Immediately after, he took out a conch shell and began to blow into it.

Then, the sound spread out.

At the same time, on the other side.

A young man was fighting a Yao Beast Spirit Body.

Suddenly, the conch shell at his waist vibrated.

He initially didn't want to pay attention to it.

However, he listened until he heard the sound coming from the conch shell.

“I've discovered a great Magic Treasure! I can't obtain it alone. I urgently request the help of you Fellow Daoists.”

Great Magic Treasure?

The young man was immediately attracted by these two words.

He quickly sped up and killed the Yao Beast in front of him.

Without even bothering to absorb the energy, he immediately chased after the conch shell, asking,

“What kind of great Magic Treasure?”

No one who could enter the Shujian Lake Secret Realm was a mediocre talent.

To be called a great Magic Treasure, it must certainly be extraordinary.

Naturally, greed stirred in his heart.

Hearing someone reply,

The Erlong Mountain side was immediately overjoyed.

Then, he quickly fabricated a response.

“It's suspected to be a Sentient Magic Treasure, and its grade might even be higher than that. It radiates golden light all over, and its intelligence is clearly extraordinary. I suspect its quality might always be higher than this.”

“And next to this Spirit Treasure, there's also a pool of brilliantly glowing divine water. I accidentally tried a little and it can enhance my cultivation.”

“However, right now, I'm being blocked by a great Yao Beast in the Purple Mansion Realm. You know, I'm just a small Cultivator in the Core Formation Realm.”

This person seemed eager to leave.

Even the lies he told were very smooth.

The young man in the distance had his heart completely captivated by the Sentient Magic Treasure.

He quickly agreed and said he would come immediately.

At the same time, he instructed this person not to tell anyone else for now.

The reason he had such confidence was mainly because, although he wasn't in the Purple Mansion Realm, his strength was already quite close.

He possessed a secret technique that, when activated, was sufficient to contend with a Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator at the second layer.

Even if he needed to find helpers later, he could first assess the situation before deciding.

“If that's the case, come quickly. The location is here...”

After getting the specific location,

The man rushed over without stopping.

On the Erlong Mountain side,

Wang Gou couldn't help but grin at this scene.

This fellow in front of him was quite clever.

He knew how to fabricate a great Magic Treasure to attract others.

He just wasn't sure how strong this incoming person was.

At the very least, he should be in the Purple Mansion Realm, right?

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have the confidence to come and see after hearing about a great Yao Beast in the Purple Mansion Realm.

It seems I'll have to collect a bit more when the time comes.

Wang Gou was pondering in his heart.

He wasn't worried about any danger at all.

During this period,

He had killed so many Spirit Body Yao Beasts, and his own strength had greatly increased.

Although he hadn't yet reached the sixth layer of the Purple Mansion Realm,

He was not far from it.

Given a little more time, he would definitely be able to Breakthrough.

The person who wanted to leave,

Seeing Wang Gou smile, also smiled back.

A moment later,

Erlong Mountain.

A young man arrived.

Wang Gou's pocket also received 1000 Spirit Stones at once.

At the same time, a small Core Formation Cultivator left Wang Gou's protection.

As soon as he descended the mountain, due to bad luck, he was encountered and chased by a Yao Beast, leading to a tragic death.

Wang Gou expressed great regret about this.

But that was all there was to it.

Wang Gou no longer planned to leave during this time.

With the Gou Dao System, he could gain points and rewards by staying here.

For him, the Shujian Lake Secret Realm had already proven quite effective.

But on this day,

An uninvited guest arrived.

“Fellow Daoist Wang Gou, I am the Third Prince Wu Yusheng, requesting an audience.”

“Third Prince Wu Yusheng?”

Wang Gou frowned when he heard the name.

Instinctively, he didn't want to meet him.

The imperial Family itself represented trouble.

Getting involved with a Prince now would surely lead to endless trouble in the future.

As for his misdeeds these past few days,

Would his oppression of these weaker individuals bring harm to his Family?

Wang Gou had seriously considered it.

He only targeted those who were alone and whose cultivation was not high.

He assumed their Family's foundation was not that deep.

There couldn't possibly be an Old Ancestor in the Dongtian Realm.

Now, he was already at the fifth layer of the Purple Mansion Realm.

It wouldn't be long before the Dongtian Realm was within reach.

A Family with two Dongtian Realm cultivators—looking at the entire Wu Zhou Dynasty, besides the imperial Family, who could challenge them?

And as for the imperial Family, Wang Gou himself kept his distance.

Naturally, it was impossible to make enemies.

However, if he didn't meet him now,

Would he offend someone because of it? Wang Gou narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.

He ultimately released his Divine Thought and responded,

“Third Prince, please enter.”

As soon as his voice fell, a young man in a dark Xuan-colored robe walked into the Immortal Cave from outside.

His appearance was upright, with a square face and broad nose, a natural imperial aura.

It was Wu Yusheng.

As soon as he saw Wang Gou, he immediately cupped his hands.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist.”

Wang Gou naturally did not dare to be negligent.

He quickly cupped his hands in return and asked,

“May I ask why the Third Prince is looking for me?”

“I want to conspire with you for a great matter. Are you interested in helping me eliminate my second brother?”

Wu Yusheng's words were very direct.

As soon as this sentence was uttered,

The temperature inside the Immortal Cave suddenly dropped.

Wang Gou's eyes immediately narrowed.

He didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters.

Especially something like a succession struggle.

It would likely draw him into a vortex of trouble.

Even the entire Wang Family would not be spared.

Wang Gou had always understood the Dao of caution and naturally could not agree to such a thing.

However, he said nothing at the moment.

If he refused too quickly,

It would undoubtedly offend the Third Prince in front of him.

Wang Gou didn't want to see that happen.

With a mere wave of his hand,

He set a table of tea on the table.

“Sit,” Wang Gou said indifferently.

Sometimes, not agreeing actually meant refusing.

Wu Yusheng was not surprised.

He sat down as Wang Gou indicated, then continued to present his bargaining chips.

“If the matter succeeds, there will certainly be a generous gift.”

Wang Gou remained silent.

This so-called gift held no appeal for him.

With the Wang Family and the System, he could be said to be the person least lacking in resources. He had never even participated in the Family trials.
