87: Chapter 87: Encountering Wen Tianren on the Road!

"What do you mean by that, Elder? Could you please enlighten me?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but ask. Although she had confidence in Zhao Changsheng, she had to clarify to ensure everything was foolproof.

"Take this with you, and they shouldn't cause any trouble. This matter can be resolved quite easily."

Instead of explaining further to Zhou Yuan's inquiry, Zhao Changsheng took out the qingming needle talisman treasure.

This was given to him by his Revered Master, Layman Qingyi, as a life-saving protective item.

After all, Zhao Changsheng knew very well that if anything happened to him, the plans of his Revered Master and Venerable Tian Yun would certainly fall through.

Finding another Core Formation Stage Cultivator as young as him would be no easy feat.

When Zhou Yuan saw what Zhao Changsheng had produced, she was immediately shocked and blurted out:

"The qingming needle, a talisman treasure refined from Layman Qingyi's Lifebound Treasure."

"You have a good eye and broad knowledge. Indeed, that is correct. I have now been taken under his wing and am his Disciple. Given the circumstances, he naturally gave me some life-saving treasures, and this talisman treasure is one of them. Therefore, you only need to take this to resolve the current trouble and bring the heavenly thunder bamboo to me. That is the most important thing."

Zhao Changsheng continued.

Hearing that Zhao Changsheng had taken Layman Qingyi, a quite famous Nascent Soul Cultivator, as his Revered Master, Zhou Yuan was naturally overjoyed.

"I will certainly accomplish this task; I will not disappoint you, Elder."

To her, this was almost equivalent to the Wonderful Sound Sect having a Nascent Soul Stage backer.

A Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator was a top-tier Cultivator in any cultivation land, serving as a backer that few would dare to provoke.

Almost no one was willing to offend a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

For if they did, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator were to seek revenge, almost no School could withstand it.

"There's no need for more words. Just make sure this is done and bring the heavenly thunder bamboo."

Zhao Changsheng urged her directly, as the heavenly thunder bamboo was the most important thing to him right now.

For him, nothing was more critical at the moment than the heavenly thunder bamboo.

Because once this was settled, the matter of refining his Lifebound Treasure would be within reach.

Zhao Changsheng was well aware of how Evil-Warding Divine Thunder suppressed Demonic Path Cultivators, so he naturally couldn't let such a good thing slip away.

Even if it weren't refined into a Lifebound Treasure, it could be made into other Magic Treasures, which would be immensely useful for slaying Demonic Path and Ghost Path Cultivators in the future.

Letting such a treasure go was simply out of the question.

"Very well, I shall attend to it immediately."

Having said that, Zhou Yuan delayed no further and, without another word, took the qingming needle handed to her by Zhao Changsheng and took her leave.

Knowing full well how significant a Lifebound Treasure was to a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, she could naturally understand why Zhao Changsheng was in such a hurry.

To avoid any mishaps, Zhao Changsheng took out a thousand-mile sound transmission talisman, input the recent events into it, and sent it off.

In such a short time, Layman Qingyi and Venerable Tian Yun shouldn't have left yet.

As long as these two Nascent Soul Cultivators hadn't left, the matter would be very easy to handle, with no need to worry about accidents. After all, if one Nascent Soul Cultivator wasn't enough, he didn't believe the Qingyang Sect wouldn't give Face to two Nascent Soul Cultivators.

A mere Elder, and a Core Formation Stage one at that, could not possibly refuse to give Face to two Nascent Soul Cultivators, especially since both were considered Loose Cultivators.

Under such circumstances, even the Qingyang Sect would be unwilling to offend them too much.

Zhao Changsheng was also very interested in that monkey from the Qingyang Sect, but unfortunately, it should still be at the Qingyang Sect. To obtain it, he would need to find a way to deal with their Young Lord.

Only by killing off their lecherous Young Lord could he smoothly obtain that monkey.

However, this matter would require careful planning.

For now, Zhao Changsheng's most important task was to seize every moment to increase his strength.

Layman Qingyi, receiving the news soon after, felt a bit of a headache but still did as Zhao Changsheng requested and sent a sound transmission talisman to the Qingyang Sect Elder.

With that, the matter was completely resolved.

Zhou Yuan successfully obtained the heavenly thunder bamboo, along with compensation from the Qingyang Sect Elder and other Families and Schools.

Zhou Yuan then gave all the compensation, along with the heavenly thunder bamboo, to Zhao Changsheng.

Zhao Changsheng did not refuse and accepted them all.

"Once we reach Heavenly Star City, I'll return to the School and hand this over to Han Li to nurture. That way, I believe it won't be long before I can refine a golden thunder bamboo Magic Treasure."

After obtaining the heavenly thunder bamboo, Zhao Changsheng made his decision and immediately urged Zhou Yuan, who had finished her tasks, to return to Heavenly Star City.

Zhou Yuan naturally had no objections and brought Zhao Changsheng along as they headed back to Heavenly Star City.

On this day, more than a dozen streaks of light appeared ahead of them. These streaks were all red, and behind them followed an exquisitely beautiful flying beast carriage.

The beast carriage was a full six or seven zhang long, crafted entirely from a special fragrant wood, and was adorned with various Talismanic Incantations and Restrictions that shimmered with a faint white light.

Most crucially, at the very front of the carriage were three azure monstrous birds. These birds were all massive, measuring a full zhang in size, with six eyes and four wings. They were incredibly fierce and extremely fast, coming to a halt in front of their group in the blink of an eye.

Then, one young and beautiful woman after another stepped out, all dressed in uniform light green palace robes with two long swords on their backs. Their Realms had all reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The two parties were only a hundred zhang apart—a distance that might seem far to a Mortal, but was nothing to them.

"Zhou Yuan, Sect Leader of the Wonderful Sound Sect, greets Young Master Wen."

When both sides stopped, Zhou Yuan immediately bowed respectfully toward the beast carriage.

Hearing this address, Zhao Changsheng instantly knew who the other party was.

Wen Tianren, the young master of holy demon island. He hadn't expected the other to travel with such a grand display so early on; it was truly arrogant.

However, considering his status, it was quite normal.

"Oh, I wondered who it was. So it is the Sect Leader of the Wonderful Sound Sect. I didn't expect to run into Sect Master Zhou. I wonder who the Fellow Daoist next to the Sect Leader is? He looks quite unfamiliar."
