"My apologies for making Lord Li laugh. It's not that we don't have better tools for carrying manure where I'm from; it's just because I only recently arrived," Lu Chong said with a smile. "My other companions all possess celestial-grade immortal artifacts. Especially our supervisor's pair of manure buckets - they were personally crafted and gifted by the master. Their grade is so high it's beyond recognition."
"Please stop..."
Li Hongtian clutched his chest with one hand while waving the other, his face turning dark.
If he had to listen to Lu Chong continue like this, he would likely become the first Star Realm immortal to die of a heart attack.
After a very long pause...
Li Hongtian carefully asked, "Brother Lu, if I may ask, if we had fought earlier..."
Before Li Hongtian could finish, Lu Chong said, "Of course, if we had fought, I would have used these manure buckets to completely subdue Lord Li."
"Though I must say, Lord Li, you really left me unsatisfied."
"I was looking forward to testing these buckets' power, but you immediately surrendered and so politely invited us to dinner. Now we feel too embarrassed to make a move."
"How about this - Lord Li, let's have a falling out so I can properly demonstrate these buckets' capabilities?"
"No, no, no, no..."
Li Hongtian waved both hands, his scalp tingling.
In his heart,
He was filled with fear.
What if, at that time, he hadn't come to his senses and had stubbornly fought with Lu Chong?
Then now he would...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the pair of buckets and shuddered.
He would have been subdued by those manure buckets!
...
At the Great Transformation Sect.
Lu Zun's face was filled with anger.
Only now did he truly understand the meaning of heartbreak.
Because of Lu Chong's imprisonment on Dark Shadow Island, the Great Transformation Sect's leadership not only expelled Lu Chong.
Now he, Lu Zun,
Had fallen from grace within the Great Transformation Sect, with even disciples looking at him with prejudice.
After stripping him of his authority as an elder, they had now directly removed his position as elder altogether.
In the main hall,
Upon hearing the sect's recent decision, Lu Zun clenched his fists tightly.
"Wait a little longer, just two more months."
"When my son completes his three months of training, you'll all have to look at us differently."
"Report!"
"Sect Master, someone from the Lord's mansion has arrived!"
At this moment,
A disciple came to report.
Hearing this,
Sect Master Fang Jin raised his eyebrows and quickly stood up.
"Quickly, invite them in."
Soon after,
The man sent by Li Hongtian walked into the hall.
"We pay our respects to the envoy."
Everyone bowed in greeting.
Though the man didn't understand why Li Hongtian had suddenly become so courteous to the Great Transformation Sect, remembering his instructions, he dared not take it lightly.
He hurriedly helped everyone up.
"Oh my, Sect Master Fang, you're too kind. Please rise, please rise."
Seeing this,
Fang Jin and others wore puzzled expressions.
Since when,
Had people from the Xining Immortal Continent become so polite?
Usually, envoys sent to subordinate sects would hold their noses so high they could touch the sky.
He particularly remembered that just a few days ago, the Xining Immortal Continent had been furious about Lu Chong's matter and had been suppressing their Great Transformation Sect.
"Envoy, may I ask the purpose of your visit?"
Fang Jin asked nervously.
"I've come to bring you excellent news," the man said with a smile. "The Lord specifically sent me to invite you to the Xining Immortal Continent mansion to discuss cooperation in crystal mine excavation matters."
"What?"
Hearing this news, Fang Jin and others widened their eyes.
It was about crystal mine cooperation?
Everyone knew that whoever could cooperate with the Lord's mansion in crystal mine excavation would essentially become one with the Lord's mansion, becoming a representative of the continent.
But regarding this unexpected good news, Fang Jin still felt uneasy and quickly asked, "May I ask why so suddenly?"
"Well, the Lord didn't say much about it, but I presume it's because your sect's recent actions and overall performance have greatly pleased the Lord!" the man said with a smile. "Well, I won't say more. I need to report back now. Please have your sect members come quickly, and don't keep the Lord waiting!"
With that,
The man departed.
Meanwhile, Fang Jin and others were still pondering his words.
"Our performance and actions have pleased the Lord?" an elder muttered, then his eyes brightened as he said, "I understand now."
"Oh?"
Fang Jin turned his questioning gaze toward him.
"Sect Master, it must be because of the Lu Chong incident!"
The elder said with a smile, "Lu Chong burned down the Heavenly Immortal Palace's branch, which infuriated them, and the Xining Immortal Continent almost got involved."
"But we handled the matter appropriately!"
"First, we compensated the Heavenly Immortal Palace for their losses, you personally apologized, Sect Master, and we expelled Lu Chong from our sect. Our attitude and quick response must have caught the Lord's eye and pleased him, which is why he's giving us this great opportunity!"
Hearing this,
Fang Jin and others' eyes lit up.
"Hahaha!"
"So that's it."
"What you say is probably right on the mark."
Involuntarily, the joy-filled Fang Jin turned his gaze toward Lu Zun, who stood to the side with a gloomy expression.

Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.
