Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

On this day, on Jin'ao Island...

After becoming a saint, Lingbao dismissed the turtles. On the vast Golden Turtle Island, only the Golden Turtle Ancestor, Xu Qing, Lingbao, Turtle Spirit, his brother Turtle True, and an old turtle named Ao Cheng remain.

Lingbao yawned listlessly as she watched Ao Cheng gesturing on the beach.

Building Biyou Palace was a simple matter for a sage with his great power, but designing a temple for himself was not this master of formations.

Fortunately, there was an old turtle among the turtle clan who served as the steward of the East Sea Dragon Clan when the Dragon Clan was at its peak. His original name was Gui Cheng, but he was given the surname Ao and became Ao Cheng. Back then, he was in charge of the palace in the Dragon Clan and had some basic knowledge of design.

So he volunteered, wanting to board the sage's ship, join the Jie Sect, and consider it a win if he could just get a gatekeeper position!

"If you design it well, I'll make you the Grand Elder! It needs to be grand! Impressive! Do you understand?"

On that day, Tongtian spoke these words to the old tortoise, whose beard and hair were all white, in a literal sense, earnest instruction.

Ao Cheng dared not neglect the emperor's command and worked through the night to create a plan. It is said that he gave a plan that very day, but he was not satisfied with it and revised it again overnight. Now it has been more than half a month.

For these innate great beings, half a month is but a drop in the ocean compared to their endless lifespan. Under normal circumstances, they would easily dismiss them with spiritual treasures.

Now that he has become a saint, if he wants to go further, he needs to merge with the Dao, but Hongjun has already placed his power above him, so he can forget about spiritual treasures.

Unable to cultivate, and with the turtle spirit's extraordinary talent, it grasped things instantly and didn't need much teaching. For the past half month, Lingbao could only sit idly on this island.

Thus, we have the scene where Lingbao is so bored that he feels tortured.

At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest flew in on auspicious clouds, and on those clouds stood a young child.

It was Yuanshi, now the leader of the Chan Sect, who was visiting with his newly accepted disciples.

"Third brother, how come the sacred site you painstakingly searched for is just a deserted island?"

"If you really can't find a suitable place, just tell me. I'm your second brother, and Kunlun Mountain is big enough. You can come to my place."

"Why are there so few disciples? My Jade Void Palace has been so crowded these past few days that the threshold is practically worn down. Look, this is my newly accepted disciple."

"Don't mind me. I'm a straightforward person, and what I say might not be very pleasant, but it's all the truth. Fourth brother in the underworld, don't you agree?"

Yuanshi glanced at Jin'ao Island, a smile spreading across his face, and he clicked his tongue in amazement.

Lingbao was lying on the beach counting the suns when he saw Yuanshi arrive. He was about to get up to greet him when he heard Yuanshi's "quick and straightforward words".

His face immediately darkened, he snorted coldly, and lay down again, extremely rudely waiting for Yuanshi to fall on his own.

Xu Qing remained silent underground. "My cultivation has entered a critical moment. Do not disturb me."

Lingbao remained lying down until Yuanshi came up to him, and when he could no longer ignore him, he got up and responded.

"My Jin'ao Island is overflowing with spiritual energy, gathering the essence of the sun and moon, and absorbing the treasures of heaven and earth. However, no palace has been built yet, so it is not a desolate island."

"How come it's just a four or five-year-old child? Could it be that no one wanted to become his disciple, so my second brother went to the human world to kidnap him? Look over there, that's my disciple. He kowtowed several times when he became his disciple."

Well, you two are truly like brothers, Xu Qing continued meditating, eyes focused on his nose, nose focused on his mind.

Yuanshi chuckled, not annoyed at all, and waved his hand, signaling the disciples behind him to step forward.

"This disciple has not yet received ordination, and only has the secular name Li Xuan bestowed upon me by my master. Li Xuan pays respects to Uncle-Master Lingbao."

The child was exceptionally precocious. He was not shy when he saw strangers. He would clasp his hands in a respectful bow, his body small and his voice soft and sweet.

Xu Qing glanced at him with his mind's eye and found him extremely adorable. Even Lingbao, at this moment, couldn't help but feel a bit of affection for this junior disciple.

"Good nephew, get up quickly. This is our first meeting, please take this as a gift."

Lingbao smiled broadly, rubbed the little one's head, and took out a sword-shaped acquired spiritual treasure.

"Take this and practice first. When you become a Golden Immortal, your uncle will give you a better one."

Yuanshi gave Li Xuan a meaningful look, and Li Xuan said softly, "Thank you, Uncle-Master."

Lingbao was delighted to hear this, and with a flick of his finger, the light screen of a small house in the distance disappeared, and he called out.

"Turtle Spirit, your senior uncle and junior brother have arrived. Why don't you come out and greet them quickly? We can't let people say that the disciples of the Jie Sect don't know how to behave properly."

To ensure that Guiling's seclusion would not be disturbed, Lingbao specially set up an array in the small hut she temporarily built for seclusion, using a small world to isolate her from the outside world. Yuanshi did not take a close look when he came and did not notice it at the beginning.

Hmm? Tortoises, and they're all wet-laying eggs... What's the use of being pretty? They're just pretty faces.

Yuanshi coughed twice, then laughed again, thinking about the exceptional bone structure he had previously touched.

"Disciple Guiling greets Master, Senior Uncle, and Junior Brother Li Xuan."

This junior brother is so cute, he's almost as adorable as Kame-chan when he was a kid.

Upon hearing Lingbao's words, Guiling transformed into a streak of green light and rushed over, stopping behind Lingbao and bowing to the three people present.

"Li Xuan greets Senior Sister."

Xiao Li Xuan also bowed respectfully, developing a fondness for this polite and beautiful senior sister.

"Second brother, my disciple is not bad, is he? Without cultivation methods, he could only take human form for ten thousand years, but now he has already reached the Xuanxian realm."

"Among those born after birth, their comprehension and talent must be one in ten thousand."

After the two juniors finished their greetings, Lingbao pointed at Guiling, raised his head, and said proudly. Guiling himself lowered his head somewhat embarrassed.

Yuanshi naturally knew Guiling's realm and lifespan. Upon hearing Lingbao's words, he confidently stroked his beard and first spoke in a gentle tone.

"Indeed, my nephew's talent is extraordinary. I have a mirror here, which can be considered a small gift for our first meeting."

"Once you achieve the Golden Immortal realm, your master will present you with another congratulatory gift, which should be in just a few days."

Why are you suddenly saying nice things? I'm not used to it yet. Lingbao was a little confused. Could it be... that Second Brother is admitting defeat?

Then Yuanshi continued stroking his beard and pointed at Li Xuan, who had a well-behaved expression.

"Third brother, feel Li Xuan's bone structure."

Lingbao was puzzled. How good could a spirit born after birth be? The tortoise spirit was already among the best.

Walking over, Li Xuan sensibly raised his hand, then looked at Lingbao expectantly. Lingbao put two fingers together and then placed them on Li Xuan's wrist.

A wisp of energy travels from the wrist into the meridians, and then travels to the sea of ​​consciousness, the spiritual platform, the qi palace, and the dantian.

The meridians... all seven meridians and eight collaterals are open, and they are clear and transparent. Second brother, you have really put in a lot of effort.

The sea of ​​consciousness... the soul is very resilient, this is indeed a talent, there's something there.

Lingtai... Hiss... How come his primordial spirit is so strong? His comprehension is probably not bad.

Qi Palace... This doesn't make sense, does it? Its speed of absorbing spiritual energy is even faster than Gui Zhen's?

There's nothing special about the dantian; everyone's the same. It's like a yellowish-brown egg. It seems that Second Brother's self-created Golden Elixir Dao has matured.

In his theory, condensing the Golden Core seems to correspond to the mid-stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

Wait a minute, my second brother and I established the sect together, and it's only been twenty days since then. He'll be looking for you for a while, maybe ten days or so. You kid, you've got a golden core?

A saint... a saint?!
