Chapter 27: Chapter 27, In the Shangqing Palace Bai Jin turned around and flew downwards, landing in front of Shi Ji. Shi Ji struggled to sit up, feebly calling out, "Senior brother~" Bai Jin supported her and asked with concern, "Junior sister Shi Ji, how are you feeling now?" Shi Ji forced a smile and said, "I’m fine, it’s only a flesh wound, it won’t damage my Primordial Spirit, I’ll recover quickly." Bai Jin turned to the woman beside him and said, "Junior sister Gu Liang, would you please take Shi Ji back to rest?" A little girl with a bun hairstyle beside him nodded repeatedly and responded, "Yes! Big senior brother." She raised both hands, and a surge of Immortal Spirit Qi emerged, carrying Shi Ji off into the distance. Shi Ji turned her head to look at Bai Jin and forced a smile, "Senior brother, what you just said was really good." Bai Jin grinned proudly, got you stunned, didn’t I! "... It’s just that the tactics you used later were a bit sneaky." Bai Jin’s smile stiffened on his face. Shi Ji giggled, urging junior sister Gu Liang to hurry up and leave. Bai Jin said speechlessly, "You’ve become braver, haven’t you! You even dare to tease your senior brother." Wudang Saint floated down beside Bai Jin and said, "You seemed quite angry just now?" Bai Jin replied, "He hurt my junior sister, of course, as her senior brother, I’d be angry, right?" "Is that so? When Big senior brother got hurt, I didn’t see you quite so angry! I felt you even seemed a bit pleased." Bai Jin immediately protested in distress, "Senior sister, I’ve been wronged~ When Big senior brother was injured, it was like my heart was being cut by a knife, as if it were happening to my own body. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lent the Supreme Treasure to Big senior brother." Around the corner, Duobao Taoist leaned on the mountain body, his gaze softening as he looked at Bai Jin; maybe I should be more understanding of my junior brother, he has it tough too. A huge rock on the mountain body trembled slightly and then fiercely crashed down, with a loud rumble, pounding Duobao into the ground. Bai Jin and Wudang Saint immediately turned their heads to look, seeing the rock smashed on the path. Wudang Saint wondered, "Why would there be falling rocks on Kunlun Mountain?" "Falling rocks on a mountain are not strange, are they?" Wudang Saint rolled her eyes and said, "This is Kunlun Mountain, though." Bai Jin suddenly exclaimed, "Right, where’s Big senior brother? Big senior brother hasn’t returned my Treasure Money to me! Where is Big senior brother now?" Wudang Saint immediately urged, "Let’s go, senior sister will accompany you to find him." The two drifted up the mountain. A moment later, the fallen boulder lifted off with a rumble, Duobao Taoist flew out with an ashen face, cursing inwardly, how could a mere falling rock hit me? There must be someone plotting against me? But who?! Duobao looked around suspiciously, casting an invisibility spell on himself, and cautiously headed up the mountain. It was a journey full of mishaps and disasters, natural and man-made, making him exceptionally awkward. After persevering for half a day, Duobao could no longer hold on, his injuries not only failed to improve but became much more severe, and he hurriedly headed towards Shangqing Palace. Boom~ Duobao stumbled into Shangqing Palace and threw himself onto the cushion, looking disheveled and forlorn, he kowtowed as he said mournfully: "Disciple pays homage to Master, I implore Master to vindicate for your disciple! I have been schemed against in secret." Tongtian spoke: "Bai Jin, come in!" A streak of clear light came from afar and landed in front of Shangqing Palace, transforming into the figure of Bai Jin, unblemished and dashingly handsome, a stark contrast to the miserable Duobao. Bai Jin strode into the main hall, walked up to a cushion, knelt down, and kowtowed as he said: "Disciple pays homage to Master." He looked up with a mischievous grin and said: "Master, did you seek out your disciple for something?" Tongtian spoke in annoyance: "How would you not know what it’s about? Just look at your senior brother." Bai Jin turned his head and caught sight of him, startling, he exclaimed in surprise: "Senior brother, what has happened to you?" Duobao lifted his head, puffed out his chest, and stated dispassionately: "It’s nothing, just suffered a few petty schemes, all of which your brother here casually dealt with." Bai Jin’s mouth twitched, senior brother is quite good at putting on a front! From above, Tongtian’s voice rang out: "Duobao, bring out the Magic Treasure that Bai Jin gave you." With an outstretched hand, Duobao revealed a coin-shaped Magic Treasure with an external circle and an internal square, and wings at the sides, he respectfully said: "Master, the Magic Treasure my junior brother gave me is this, I used this treasure to capture seven Flying Knives, but after the Knife Box detonated, the seven Flying Knives also disintegrated back to their Origin and returned to Heaven and Earth. Here I must thank my junior brother for bestowing this treasure upon your elder brother." Bai Jin immediately turned his head and glared at Duobao, said menacingly: "Senior brother, it was not a gift, I merely lent it to you for a bit." Duobao’s expression unchanged, calmly said: "Your brother here has already expressed his gratitude." "I..." Bai Jin almost laughed in anger and said: "Senior brother, can’t you have a little shame? Acting like this, who would dare to help you in the future?!" Duobao didn’t even glance at Bai Jin, once it’s in my hands, it’s mine, otherwise, if my junior brother used this Magic Treasure against me in the future, however many treasures I have would not suffice for it to capture. Bai Jin looked up at Tongtian and cried out in injustice: "Master, look at senior brother, I helped him defeat his opponent, but now senior brother wants to covet my treasure, is this how a senior brother should act?" Tongtian raised his hand and beckoned, the Treasure Money in Duobao’s hand immediately flew out and landed in Tongtian’s hand. Tongtian played with the Treasure Money in his hand and said: "Use it a few more times, and you’ll be on the brink of demise." Duobao shuddered all over, a lightning bolt flashed through his mind, becoming a disciple of Tongtian was never the mark of the ignorant, it was just that the chaos of his depleted Qi Fortune led to his Dao Heart being clouded for a moment. Now, with Tongtian’s guidance through a single sentence, a series of scenes flashed by, injuries upon injuries caused by healing and choking, rocks rain down in a cloud of dust on the road, unexpected objects falling from above, and the sudden explosion of the treasure box resulting in serious injuries. The first run of bad luck started with the unexpected box explosion, what did I do before that? I used this treasure to capture seven Flying Knives! Duobao suddenly turned to look at Bai Jin, the frustration he had held back all this time surged forth, he shouted in surprise and anger: "Bai Jin, did you harm me?" He laughed in exasperation: "And to think I once considered you a good brother, yet you secretly used such means to harm me." Bai Jin replied displeased: "Senior brother, I was helping you, if it wasn’t for my contribution of Treasure Money, you would still be getting stabbed by Flying Knives! Also, who would covet a brother’s Magic Treasure?!" "You..." Tongtian sternly said: "Duobao, with your Qi Fortune in disarray, has your Dao Heart become muddled as well?" His severe voice resounded in Duobao’s heart like thunderous tones from Heavenly Sound. Duobao took a deep breath and lowered his head, saying: "Disciple acknowledges his mistake." In Tongtian’s gaze, below the two men, Bai Jin’s Qi Fortune bloomed like a tricolor lotus flower, resplendent and covering, this was the manifestation of the blessings of The Three Pure Ones, whereas Duobao’s originally divine-wheel-like Qi Fortune was now missing by a large part, and what remained was as tangled as hemp, roaming aimlessly, which led to the clouding of his Dao Heart, being forsaken by both heaven and earth can only be described as such. Tongtian fiddled in the air with his fingers, and Duobao’s jumbled Qi Fortune instantly condensed, forming a half-meter God Wheel hovering behind Duobao’s head. Duobao felt clarity of thought and a soothing comfort throughout his body, no longer plagued by the sense of imminent peril, he promptly bowed: "Many thanks to Master."
