119: Five-needle pine entices Li Yun, Lao Tzu's team invitation

Hearing this, Five-Needle Pine was startled and subconsciously looked in Laozi's direction.

Although Li Yun's words were confident, his Golden Immortal Realm cultivation indeed lacked much persuasiveness.

Most importantly, although he had been undergoing transformation earlier, Five-Needle Pine had seen that the person who took his Main Body was not Grand Pure Laozi, but Li Yun, who had just spoken.

Although he didn't know the specifics, Laozi not stopping it also meant that the item belonged to Li Yun.

Because of this, Five-Needle Pine at that time even suspected whether Li Yun was Laozi's Disciple, or even if this matter was done by Laozi for his Disciple.

Otherwise, after so many years of peace, how could Laozi only suddenly act after breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm for so long!

"It is indeed as Fellow Daoist Li Yun said."

Facing Five-Needle Pine's questioning gaze, Laozi also nodded at this moment and said, "You know the conflict between our Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witches. Under normal circumstances, we cannot get information from within the Witch Tribe, nor can we get help from the Ancestral Witches!"

"Although my second and third brothers did obtain the Method of Proving the Dao before, it was at the cost of the Pangu Inheritance. Now, even if we go again, the Twelve Ancestral Witches will not cooperate and allow you to see Di Yi!"

"Looking at the Great Desolation, although the Witch Tribe has indeed recruited many Cultivators to join, they are only subordinates, at most equivalent in status to the Great Witches of the Witch Tribe. It's impossible for the Ancestral Witches to allow you to see Di Yi!"

"Conversely, if Fellow Daoist Li Yun were to speak, given his friendship with the Ancestral Witches, there is a high possibility that the Ancestral Witches would agree to this matter. At that time, the difficulty for Fellow Daoist to obtain a simpler Method of Proving the Dao would also be greatly reduced!"

"However, as Fellow Daoist Li Yun said, you need to prepare something for exchange. Di Yi requires a price to be paid to exchange for things, and you must make a dao heart oath not to reveal it!"

So that's how it is!

After hearing Laozi's explanation, Five-Needle Pine suddenly realized and, after understanding the reason, completely accepted Li Yun's words.

At the same time, he also understood that he could no longer pursue the matter of his Main Body.

After all, he would need to ask for help, and without Li Yun's assistance, he would basically have no chance of advancing to a Hun Yuan Saint.

Thinking of this, Five-Needle Pine's emotions were complex. He cupped his fists at Li Yun and said, "Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist!"

"Fellow Daoist, when can we depart?"

"As long as Fellow Daoist helps me this time, I can impart to you a unique Refining Technique of the Five-Needle Pine lineage!"

Hearing this, Li Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

A special Refining Technique from Five-Needle Pine, is this really valuable?

After all, he possessed the Yuqing Refining Technique, and ordinary Refining Techniques were not what he needed.

But seeing Five-Needle Pine's confident demeanor, Li Yun couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, what kind of Refining Technique are you referring to?"

Not only him, but Laozi also looked at Five-Needle Pine with curiosity.

"It can improve quality!"

Facing the inquiry, Five-Needle Pine did not hide anything and directly said, "Even an Innate Spirit Treasure can have one or two innate restrictions added to it."

"Of course, there are limitations. It can only reach the level of the lowest-grade Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Higher than that is basically impossible."

"After all, my Refining Technique can only enhance about one or two innate restrictions and cannot increase more!"

Hiss—

Hearing these words, Li Yun and Laozi couldn't help but gasp.

They never expected Five-Needle Pine's Refining Technique to be so special and powerful.

Increasing the number of innate restrictions within a Spirit Treasure, even if only by one or two, could elevate a top-tier high-grade innate spirit treasure to a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Even the most mediocre Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was still a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and its power was incomparable to a high-grade innate spirit treasure. The value of this Refining Technique was simply terrifying.

"Good!"

Without any hesitation, Li Yun readily agreed, "Fellow Daoist Five-Needle Pine, this matter is settled then."

"However, we cannot leave at this stage. I still need to accompany Fellow Daoist Laozi on a trip within Kunlun Mountain. How about we look for you then and go to the Witch Tribe together?"

Hearing this, Five-Needle Pine was startled.

Immediately after, he gave Laozi and Li Yun a deep look, thinking to himself, "Indeed, their actions this time are not only aimed at me, but possibly at all the innate spiritual roots within Kunlun Mountain!"

"What a pity, I wonder how many others will have to abandon their Main Bodies like me!"

Although he sighed, Five-Needle Pine felt a sense of psychological balance.

After all, if it were only aimed at him, he would indeed feel displeased. But now knowing that they had other targets, and that even the innate spiritual roots in Kunlun Mountain might encounter similar situations, he naturally felt relieved.

"No problem!"

Thinking of this, Five-Needle Pine immediately said, "Then I'll wait for Fellow Daoist in the valley!"

"When you two are done, just contact me directly!"

Speaking of this, Five-Needle Pine seemed to remember something and looked at Laozi, saying, "Fellow Daoist Laozi, do your previous words still count? Can I stay and Cultivate in Kunlun Mountain?"

"You can!"

Laozi glanced at Five-Needle Pine and did not refuse, saying, "But Fellow Daoist, if you reside in Kunlun Mountain, this is where our Three Pure Ones transformed, and it is also the location of our Three Pure Ones' main Daoist temple. Therefore, you will also become part of our Three Pure Ones' lineage. If we encounter enemy invasion, Fellow Daoist will need to take action to assist in defending Kunlun Mountain."

Although Five-Needle Pine lost his Main Body.

His inherent potential still surpassed the vast majority of Innate Deities.

Coupled with the fact that he had already reached the Quasi-Saint realm once, as long as he obtained a simple Method of Proving the Dao, his advancement to Quasi-Saint would be much faster than even Primordial and Tongtian.

Thus, this would definitely be a huge combat force and assistance, and Laozi would not abandon it.

Most importantly, he walked the path of Attaining the Dao through Strength, and he had absolute confidence that he could suppress Five-Needle Pine, preventing him from acting presumptuously.

After so many years and experiences, Laozi was also very clear that the current Great Desolation had entered a stage where forces were widespread, and the next step would be a struggle for territory.

Although his Three Pure Ones had a great reputation and fame.

But as more and more Quasi-Saints emerged in the future, it was not guaranteed that no one would covet the existence of Kunlun Mountain, so it was naturally necessary to plan and prepare in advance.

"No problem!"

Nodding without hesitation, Five-Needle Pine also clearly understood that he needed to quickly choose a side at this stage.

Rather than joining others' factions and living in fear, it was better to join the Three Pure Ones' lineage. At least everyone knew each other well, and they were all beings from Kunlun Mountain, sharing the same desire to protect Kunlun Mountain.

Furthermore, the Three Pure Ones were transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, and their future potential was beyond doubt. Joining the Three Pure Ones' lineage would also provide him with greater assurance and safety in the future!
