Immortal Platanus took them to their rooms.
“What do you think about this?” Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting, who was lazily sitting by the bed.
Xiao Jinting said casually, “Heavenly Thunder Wood is a good thing!”
“Of course. Lei Xuan is a single spiritual root cultivator of thunder. If he has a set of magical weapons made of Heavenly Thunder Wood, his sword method will definitely be very powerful,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jinting shrugged and said, “It’s a good thing, but it’s hard to get! Those two cultivators ignore me.” The two elders from Great Buddha Temple and Snow Mountain Sect were more powerful than him.
“Those two fellows are confused by the scripture. They are blind,” Xu Muan said coldly.
“Two dogs strive for a bone, and a third runs away with it. Sacred Sect will send powerful cultivators to snatch the wood. It’s good to let the monk and the nun fight them first.”
Xu Muan was confused. “Why does Sacred Sect covet the wood?” Magical weapons of thunder were the nemesis of demonic cultivators.
“I don’t know, but primordial divine wood like Heaven Thunder Wood has a great attraction for both the righteous and demonic cultivators. If Heaven Thunder Wood falls in the hands of the demonic cultivators, it will be a bad thing,” Xiao Jinting said.
“I think so too.”
Xiao Jinting lay lazily on the bed. “We don’t need to bother about it. If the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up.” Although Immortal Platanus was friendly to him, he felt it was out of politeness. Platanus held high expectations for the monk and the nun.
“That’s right.”
“Hurry up and go to bed. Those two people think they are much stronger than me, and they don’t even look at me. Let them worry about this. I’ve warmed the bed for you. Come quickly.”
Xu Muan shook his head helplessly and lay beside Xiao Jinting.
…
In the secret room of Platanus Sect.
“Father, are you giving away the Heavenly Thunder Wood? It is our sect’s best treasure,” a green-robed Golden Core said reluctantly.
Immortal Platanus sighed and said, “What can I do? Master Heavenly Lantern and Hermit Emei have come. They would not have arrived so quickly without seeing the benefits. I’d rather take it out before they ask for it.”
Sun Miao said sulkily, “These guys are bullying us. What kind of masters are they? They are so greedy.”
Immortal Platanus looked at Sun Miao and said grumpily, “What are you talking about? How can you accuse them like that? Be careful of the trouble.”
Sun Miao smiled awkwardly and said, “Father, I will not say it in front of others.”
Platanus sighed and said, “Our sect is not strong enough. Otherwise, we would not have to do this.”
“Father, what do you think of Xiao Jinting?” Sun Miao asked.
“He’s not simple, advancing to Nascent Soul at such a young age. With his cultivation speed, he would reach the advanced level.”
Sun Miao was jealous, “Father, you think highly of him. I don’t see anything in him. He is just lucky. He has no bones in front of the two cultivators.”
Platanus smiled and said: “He is sensible. As a new Nascent Soul, he might not have refined a good magical weapon yet. Do you expect him to go against the cultivators at the advanced level?”
“Father, you think too highly of Xiao Jinting,” Sun Miao said.
Platanus shook his head and said, “I was a preliminary Golden Core at his age, so I think highly of him.”
“Father, do you think Xiao Jinting comes for Heavenly Thunder Wood?” Sun Miao asked.
Although the righteous sects were in the same boat and closely linked with each other, these Nascent Souls would not have come if they hadn’t known there was Heavenly Thunder Wood.
Platanus frowned and said, “I’m not sure. Logically speaking, not many people know that our sect has Heavenly Thunder Wood, and Green Cloud Immortal Sect should not gather the news so soon.” The news should have been spread recently. Otherwise, their sect would not have been able to keep the wood.
“Damn Immortal Qingming,” Sun Miao said angrily.
Platanus sighed and wore a complicated expression.
Platanus and Qingming used to be the disciples of the same generation. The sect didn’t have sufficient resources, so it could only cultivate one Nascent Soul. Platanus was chosen and advanced to Nascent Soul, while Qingming remained a Golden Core.
Later on, Qingming tried in vain to advance to Nascent Soul, and he got mad, regarding Platanus as his sworn enemy and thinking Platanus had snatched his chance to become an immortal. As he was approaching the end of his life, Qingming betrayed Platanus Sect and joined Sacred Sect.
Qingming had told Sacred Sect that there was Heavenly Thunder Wood in Platanus Sect.
Platanus shook his head in confusion. Back then, the sect head was indecisive in choosing between Platanus and Qingming who was to be cultivated.
He was glad that the head chose him over Qingming, who later turned from vivacity to depression
Platanus thought, “If the sect head chose Qingming over me, and I’m facing death, can I adhere to my principles and refuse to join Sacred Sect?”
