Chapter 3709 This is not a problem with the name
Searching for places imbued with spiritual energy is indeed not easy.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou was well-prepared and relied on Li Shaojun to verify Vishnu's identity to prevent the other party from making excuses or lying, he still found nothing after searching for three days.

Ultimately, Laozi's "Shu Qing Shen" (Art of Body Cleansing) allows him to fly too fast. If the opponent recovers their body, they could potentially traverse a long distance in a short time.

Zhang Xuezhou has always relied on his flying and leaping skills to get things done, and his flying and leaping abilities have given his opponents a headache. However, when he himself is troubled by flying and leaping factors, he can't help but secretly complain.

“Zhang Shengzi, you know that our Xiniu Hezhou is poor. Such spiritual places are only sporadic and depend entirely on appearance. I have really taken you to all the spiritual places around here!”

After failing to meet the target for three consecutive days, Vishnu was also somewhat frustrated.

He was defeated by Zhang Xuezhou in one move, and now he couldn't run away, nor could he defeat the enemy even if he joined forces with others, and he had been starving for three days in a row.

He was starving, while Zhang Xuezhou had been flying for nearly three days using his flying magic weapon, and showed no signs of fatigue on the outside.

With just a slight comparison, Vishnu couldn't tell whether Zhang Xuezhou's flying magic weapon was ridiculously powerful or his strength was incomprehensible.

“Fellow Daoist Li, please speak the truth,” Vishnu pleaded.

"Fairness? I don't care about fairness at all!" Li Shaojun said irritably, "If you have a good place or a secret location, hurry up and explain it clearly so we can all go our separate ways after we've finished our business!"

“I have told you all I know. We can only continue searching to the west, but I am not familiar with that area. We may have to look for Brahma,” Vishnu said. “He once found two serpent staffs there. There should be a good place there, but he has never told us about it!”

Where is Brahma?

Brahma is also a Buddhist disciple of the Western religion. He ranked fourth at the previous centennial gala held at Lingshan and was even hunted down by Zhang Xuezhou.

The other party did indeed possess two staffs that could transform into venomous snakes; Zhang Xuezhou had also heard the rumors.

These kinds of spirit trees that can take shape require a top-notch growing environment. Zhang Xuezhou thought it would be worth a look. Even if he didn't find Laozi's Cleansing Technique, he could at least absorb spiritual energy to condense spirit crystals to replenish his body's needs.

"He's taking care of Master Shi at Lingxi Cave, which is only three hundred li away from here!"

"He takes care of the wet man?"

Zhang Xuezhou found out the location and realized it wasn't far. He thought about the Buddhist followers of the Western Sect and felt that they were really cunning and shrewd people who were trying every means to avoid disaster.

"We are too weak, and we would surely die if we entered the power struggle. Now we can only rely on Master Shi Gong to escape disaster!"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou's astonishment, Vishnu offered a somewhat embarrassed explanation.

“It seems you are not optimistic about the conflict between the Western Religion and the Celestial Court and Kunlun,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

“Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Celestial Court and Kunlun have always taken turns being number one. Even when they are weak, they are still stronger than our Western Sect. What’s more, the two forces are joining forces. We will definitely suffer a terrible defeat.” Vishnu said, “Holy Son, please help us a little bit. You must show us mercy!”

Vishnu thought that Zhang Xuezhou was a very good person, who could turn opponents into partners. Whenever there was a conflict of power, he could fake a fight, which allowed them to make a good impression and save their lives, thus satisfying both sides.

If they had done that, their survival would have been a certainty.

If the Celestial Court and Kunlun win, they can survive as prisoners; and if the Western Sect has even the slightest chance of winning, they can also become heroes.

After much deliberation, Vishnu concluded that this cooperation would be beneficial and harmless.

He was also happy to take Zhang Xuezhou to meet Brahma and others, and even tried his best to curry favor with them, directly revealing Brahma's secrets.

"Happy cooperation!"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind this kind of thing; having multiple partners was far better than having multiple competitors.

Although his strength far surpasses Vishnu's, the local inhabitants of the Western Paradise have a significant advantage, and the Buddha's son also holds a rather good position. Perhaps at some point, he will be able to obtain the secrets of the Western Paradise leader. "I knew the Holy Son was a straightforward person!"

Vishnu was overjoyed. He and Zhang Xuezhou communicated in Sanskrit quickly and urgently, while Li Shaojun, who was flying alongside him, scratched his head repeatedly, feeling that he only understood half of what he was hearing.

"Be sure to call me if there's anything good!"

Li Shaojun could only add a sentence, which meant he had also gotten himself involved.

Regardless of the circumstances, Li Shaojun felt that Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't do anything that would lose money, and if Zhang Xuezhou said that the cooperation would be pleasant, he would definitely participate in the cooperation as well.

“I will definitely take care of you. Since Vishnu can lie down and recover from his illness, Brahma and I need two opponents,” Vishnu deliberately slowed down his speech as he spoke. “At that time, we will pretend to fight to overcome the disaster and let the others fight to the death!”

"Ah, a fight!"

After figuring things out, Li Shaojun responded sullenly. What he feared most in his life was getting serious, and he would run as far away from this kind of cooperation as possible.

The three of them did not feel lonely traveling together, and continued to move in the direction indicated by Vishnu. When Zhang Xuezhou descended in the Sky Shuttle, he saw Vishnu and his disciples roasting meat over a fire at the cave entrance.

Upon hearing the sound of the wind, Master Shi quickly lay down on his side, his face turning pale.

“Go and talk to Brahma, then find someone else to lead the way!”

"Okay!"

Vishnu swiftly approached, and seeing the highly wary Brahma and his companions, he spoke several times in succession.

“Zhang Shengzi?” Shi Gong Fozi suddenly stood up and said, “Didn’t you call him Honest and Reliable Young Master before?”

“Yes, I have different names, you can call me whichever you like,” Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"This isn't a problem with the name!"

Looking at Zhang Xuezhou, the Buddhist monk felt as if he had encountered a rare deception in his life, and even that his poor health was inextricably linked to Zhang Xuezhou.

The other party harmed him, and then gave him a powerful medicine that saved his life.

It's really hard for Master Shi to describe his feelings.

In short, he enjoyed being with the honest and reliable young man, and he also got along well with Zhang Shengzi from Kunlun, but when these two were combined, their interactions became terrible.

The other party saved him, but the Buddhist monk felt that all his suffering was caused by the other party.

If the other party hadn't pretended to trick him into the formation in the Kunlun Holy Land, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation. But at that time, they were on opposing sides in the grand event, and their actions were in accordance with the event's rules, which left Master Shi Gong with a bitter pill to swallow.

“Vishnu is very eager to cooperate with me now. If you are not willing to participate, I will not force you,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I'll participate, how could I not participate!"

When Vishnu recalled the past, he felt as if he was about to grind his teeth to powder, but Vishnu simply recounted the events in a few words, and his resentment quickly subsided.

The past cannot be changed, but the future can be controlled.

As Vishnu said, the benefits of cooperation far outweigh the risks.

With inside help from people like Zhang Xuezhou, and if the fight were staged, Master Shi would dare to openly return to Mount Ling to contribute manpower and resources. This might even earn him a good impression on the two leaders, allowing him to obtain benefits he had previously sought but could not in a time of crisis.
