Chapter 31
âWhat? You want to buy my mirror? IâŠâ
The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master was stunned. The heavenly secrets mirror was a sect item passed down from generation to generation in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
He couldnât sell this.
The heavenly secrets mirror belonged to the sect, and he was going to pass it on to the next sect leader.
âSenior, do you want to take a look at other things? I have other treasures in my room,â Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master chuckled embarrassedly. No matter what, he couldnât sell the heavenly secrets mirror.
âSure,â Xiao Changtian nodded.
Naturally, he saw the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master frown when he mentioned his intention to buy the mirror. It was apparent that the mirror was a very important treasure.
He would not force others. So, Xiao Changtian naturally would not force him.
âSenior, please,â The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master was overjoyed. If the senior wanted his heavenly secrets mirror, he would have to give it to him. Fortunately, Xiao Changtioan did not insist. So, he invited Xiao Changtian into his room.
âWhereâs the treasure? Let me see.â
Xiao Changtian sized up the room. Other than a green futon and a bed, he saw nothing else.
âSenior, look.â
The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master took out a large pile of treasures from his ring.
These are all his assets. The senior could take them if he wanted.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan was chopping wood in the small courtyard, Mu Jiuhuang was feeding the green turtle, and only Chu Yiren did not know what she was doing.
No, she didnât dare to do anything.
The people in the small courtyard were all existences she could not afford to offend.
Black Tortoise, sky-devouring dog, chaotic ant, panda, and the emperor, any one of them was more powerful than her.
Suddenly, Chu Yiren, the proud daughter of the Beast-taming Sect, felt defeated for the first time.
The only person she dared to approach was Ye Fan.
Ye Fanâs aura was no different from a mortalâs, so Chu Yiren didnât feel any pressure talking to him.
âSenior brother Ye Fan, I heard you are seniorâs only disciple. Donât you need to cultivate?â
Chu Yiren asked curiously.
She saw Ye Fan was either chopping firewood or fetching water every day.
Ye Fan did everything that mortals did. He was even more serious than when she was cultivating.
Chu Yiren was extremely puzzled. Ye Fan had become the disciple of such a powerful person. But instead of cultivating, he was doing what ordinary people would do daily?
However, Ye Fan only smiled.
âIâm cultivating.â
After he finished speaking, he continued to chop firewood. A faint smile hung on the corner of his lips as if he was extremely satisfied with everything.
âAlright.â
Chu Yiren nodded helplessly. In her heart, she guessed this was a kind of Dao the senior had given her.
But she couldnât understand it at all.
âItâs so boring,â Chu Yiren cupped her face with her hands, placed her arms on the table, and sat down.
She looked at the sky above the small courtyard with her big eyes.
In her mind, Xiao Changtianâs figure emerged. Then, the corners of her lips slowly curled up.
She didnât know why, but when she saw Xiao Changtian, her heart pounded fast. A mysterious feeling welled up in her.
It was as if she had seen the senior in her previous life. She felt extremely safe and warm even if she was just by her seniorâs side.

In Dayang Sect, many disciples were anxious. Half a month was almost up.
However, the arrangement of the venue had not been decided yet. They were all waiting for Reverend Dayangâs orders.
During this half a month, Reverend Dayang did not care about anything else and had been in seclusion. Before he entered seclusion, he had ordered all the sect affairs to proceed as usual!
âWhat should we do? Are we going to wait for the sect to be exterminated?â
âWhatâs the point of the sect leader going into seclusion at this time? Could it be that he can directly soar from Golden Core Realm to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?â
âNot only did the sect leader go into seclusion cultivation, but the patriarch also chose to cultivate in seclusion.â
Every one of the Dayang Sectâs disciples had a worried expression as they sighed.
âHuh? Look, the roof of the main hall seems to be moving,â A disciple suddenly said.
Immediately, everyoneâs eyes looked over.
Then, a loud explosion was heard.
Boom!
A terrifying energy fluctuation came from the Dayang Sectâs main hall.
All they heard was a hearty laugh on the hallâs roof. An afterimage directly flew out from the rubble!
That afterimage was the Reverend Dayang!
âHahaha, come on.â
Reverend Dayangâs face was filled with joy as he laughed at the sky. His aura was brutal, and his red hair danced in the air.
As soon as the Reverend Dayangâs voice fell, the dark clouds that covered thousands of miles and the clear sky suddenly gathered and formed a sea of dark clouds.
The lightning was like a flying snake in the dark cloud sea, twisting and surging. It carried a terrifying aura as if it would fall at any moment!
âNascent Soul Thunder Tribulation?â
âThe sect leader is about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm?â
The disciples of the Dayang Sect were all excited.
Now that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the Dayang Sect could rise from a ninth-grade sect to an eighth-grade sect!
Facing the Thunder Tribulation in the sky, Reverend Dayangâs expression was calm.
He had enough resources now.
In his ring, to pass the Thunder Tribulation, he had stored a pill that could help him become a Heavenly Breakthrough Realm expert.
He was 100% confident that he could survive a small Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation!
Boom!
With a loud explosion, a thunderbolt as thick as a bucket struck down Reverend Dayang with a violent aura.
Reverend Dayangâs expression was calm. He did not panic. He swallowed an elixir and faced the Thunder Tribulation directly.
He roused the vital spirit around his body, and a sun appeared behind him. The sun released a seven-colored and blazing light as it slowly rose!
Bang!
The Thunder Tribulation, which was as thick as a bucket, collided with the miniature sun.
The two extreme forces collided, and the explosive power turned into countless light streams, bursting out a dazzling white light.
After the light dissipated, a light rain drifted by.
Reverend Dayang was bathed in the light rain. The aura around him continued to rise and then stabilized. In his dantian, the nascent soul cracked open and took the shape of a baby!
That was the nascent soul of the Reverend Dayang. He had completed his breakthrough!
âYay, thatâs great! From now on, our Dayang Sect will be an eighth-grade sect.â
âEighth-grade sect! Eight-grade sect!â
The disciples of the Dayang Sect immediately cheered. Everyone was in high spirits, and the previous gloomy atmosphere was swept away.
Until a low voice rang out.
âBut, will our sect⊠still be around in half a month? â
Hearing this voice, everyone fell silent again.
So what if the sect leader had broken through the Nascent Soul Realm?
Half a month later, the three first-grade sects would descend upon the Dayang Sect. Facing those behemoths, the Dayang Sect was in imminent danger.
The disciples of the Dayang Sect lowered their heads in disappointment again. The sect was about to be promoted to an eighth-grade sect, but now it was facing the crisis of being destroyed.
âHmph, who told you that our Dayang Sect was going to be destroyed?â Reverend Dayang, who had completed his breakthrough, landed from the void and snorted coldly.
âBut sect leader, half a month laterâŠâ The disciples stammered.
âSo what? Arenât they just a few first-grade sects? Remember, thereâs an expert behind our Dayang Sect. A first-grade sect doesnât have the qualifications to destroy my Dayang Sect!â
âAs for the competition venue, weâll just casually set it up.â
Reverend Dayang said indifferently, looking calm.
With that senior here, what could three Heavenly Tribulation Realm cultivators do? When Emperor Jiuhuang made her move, she could suppress it with a flip.
Not to mention the senior.
After speaking, he walked away, leaving behind a group of shocked disciples.
âThereâs an expert in Dayang Sect?â
âF*ck, thatâs breaking news!â
âHe doesnât even care about the three first-grade sects. What kind of expert is he? could it be Patriarch Chi Yang? â
âImpossible. Patriarch Chi Yangâs cultivation level isnât that high. Otherwise, our Dayang Sect would have been a first-grade sect long ago.â
âLooking at the sect leaderâs expression, itâs true! Do you guys think it may be the janitor who sweeps the floor?â
Everyone became increasingly excited, and the gloomy atmosphere that shrouded the entire Dayang Sect had swept away!
Countless cheers replaced it!
They had forgotten about the intense preparation of the venue.
With an expert around, what was there to be afraid of?
Xiao Changtian did not know about any of this.
He was in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion masterâs room, frowning as he looked at the gaudy items in front of him.
âDonât tell me all of these are celestial artifacts?â
Xiao Changtian looked at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master doubtfully as he thought. âThis wandering Daoist must have some connections to get so many treasures.â
âHowever, it should not be worth much.â
After all, how could a wandering Daoist buy a real celestial treasure? At most, it was some ordinary spiritual artifact abandoned by cultivators or a half-finished product made by a weapon forging master.
Xiao Changtian had once heard that these two kinds of immortal artifacts were generally very cheap because they didnât have complete functions. Most of them were just decorations.
Ordinary people would not buy celestial artifacts.
âI guess so,â Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master nodded hesitantly. He didnât know how to answer such a senior.
Even if itâs called a celestial artifact, it doesnât seem to be precious in front of the senior.
But it was indeed a celestial artifact!
Xiao Changtian saw that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master was hesitating and nodded his head. He had some thoughts in mind.
Sure enough, it was just as he had guessed. It wasnât a good celestial artifact, just some defective goods.
âThen⊠Iâll take this painting.â
Xiao Changtian picked out a painting from a large pile of treasures. On it was a picture of a raging flame.
The only thing that Xiao Changtian felt was not bad was this painting.
However, there were many flaws in the content of this painting. He only needed to go back and make a few simple changes.
âIâll take this painting. How much is it?â Xiao Changtian said indifferently.
Although he had used up the twenty taels of gold from before, he still had some capital that he kept as a last resort.
Although this painting looked good, it was only average and could not be considered good.
He had excellent painting skills, so he naturally understood the value of the painting in front of him.
âNo need, Iâll give it to you. Your guidance has already surpassed these treasures.â
Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master quickly answered.
Out of the hundred taels of gold previously, the senior only took ten taels. He already felt bad about it.
Even though this Nanming Flames Painting was extremely precious.
Since the senior wanted it, he could not be stingy about it.
