Liu Changgong turned his head and saw that it was a question raised by Huang Ze.
So he opened his mouth to explain, “Goodness is like water. But water does not only have a kind side. It also has floods, such evil water. Just like Dao, it treats everything in the world equally!”
After hearing Liu Changgong’s explanation of the painting, Huang Ze’s understanding of it deepened even more, even though he could not wait to take the painting and comprehend it now.
Huang Ze’s eyes were filled with gratitude. Then, he took out a square jade box from his storage bracelet and handed it to Liu Changgong.
“This is just a small token. It can be Senior’s brush. I know that Senior definitely won’t be interested in ordinary things…”
Huang Ze’s face turned red and he said with some shame, “But I really can’t come up with anything better than this. Please don’t mind it…”
What was it?
Liu Changgong had wanted to reject their wine today, but he was still driven by curiosity and took it. He opened it.
As soon as he opened the box, he felt a warm feeling wash over him. A bead that was emitting a dense red aura lay quietly in the box,
When Zhu Zhao saw the red bead, his pupils constricted. Then, he took a deep look at Huang Ze and said, “You’re really willing to part with it!”
Huang Ze replied indifferently, “To be able to exchange for Senior’s painting, this thing is not worth mentioning!”
Zhu Zhao nodded in agreement and said, “That’s true!”
When Liu Changgong saw this bead, he knew that it must be something that only cultivators could use. Moreover, judging from Zhu Zhao and Huang Ze’s tone, this thing seemed to be very precious.
Therefore, he pushed the box back with a smile, shook his head, and said, “I don’t need this thing. Old Sir, you’d better take it back!”
What use could a cultivator’s magic treasure have for a mortal like him?
“I know that this thing might not be of use to Senior, but please take it. Otherwise, I will certainly be worried,” said Huang Ze sincerely.
Huang Ze had accidentally found this bead in a dead mountain. It was a Fire Essence, which was formed by a volcano absorbing the essence of the sun.
Fire Essence was a very precious treasure in the world of cultivation. Not only was it very helpful in cultivating fire-type cultivation techniques, but it could also burn the impurities in the golden core, greatly increasing the success rate of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. The reason why Huang Ze could break through to the Nascent Soul stage was because of this thing.
Zhu Zhao had thought of borrowing this thing from Huang Ze before, but later on, he couldn’t guarantee his own longevity, so he gave up.
After Huang Ze returned, he thought hard for a long time. He really couldn’t think of anything good to use to please Liu Changgong. In the end, he decided to give this treasure that he had kept close to him for many years as a gift.
Although giving it away meant that it would be much more difficult for the Golden Core cultivators to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, or even a lot less…
But Huang Ze thought very clearly that as long as he could get a painting from Senior Liu and break through to the Dharma Idol, he could fight for more resources for the Mystic Water Sect. He could have as many similar things as he wanted.
If he could use such a Fire Essence to exchange for a painting from Senior Liu, in the future, if the Mystic Water Sect could have a few talented disciples who could comprehend the Supreme Great Dao from the painting and use it to break through to the Dharma Idol realm, or even Void Interpretation and Tribulation Transcension… It would be much more cost-effective than guarding a Fire Essence.
That would be the true blessing sect.
Therefore, both Huang Ze and Zhu Zhao felt that such a deal was worth it!
Seeing that he couldn’t refuse, Liu Changgong thought for a moment and accepted it. “How about this? I’ll accept this. If you need it one day, you can come and take it at any time. Just treat it as if you’re keeping it with us.”
“Senior is kind and righteous!”
Huang Ze and Zhu Zhao heard Liu Changgong’s words and were even more impressed by their senior’s magnanimity.
“This thing is steaming hot. If you use it in your room, it can be used as a brazier in the room. That’s pretty good…”
Liu Changgong picked up the box and looked around. The more he looked, the more he felt that his decision was not bad.
As a mortal, he could only use this kind of thing that only cultivators could use.
When Huang Ze and Zhu Zhao heard his words, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Only a great cultivator like Senior Liu would use such a precious Fire Essence as a brazier to warm the room. Other cultivators would probably be so jealous that they would vomit blood.
However, with Senior Liu’s cultivation level, a mere Fire Essence was no longer of much use. It was even a very good way to use it as a brazier.

Outside the Grand Moon Sect.
“Fairy Wang, we’re already here. The Grand Moon Sect’s headquarters is right in front of us, Mount Taiyin.”
On the flying shuttle, Li Xuanmen pointed to a towering mountain in front of them and introduced it to Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan nodded her head lightly.
After the rain, the mountain that had just passed through a rainstorm was as clean as if it had been washed with water.
The flying shuttle that represented the royal family of Great Xia entered the Grand Moon Sect’s mountain gate without any hindrance.
Wang Yuyan alighted from the flying shuttle gently. The Grand Moon Sect disciples who were watching curiously were all stunned on the spot when they saw her appearance.
Even some of the elders with low cultivation were a little absent-minded.
Wang Yuyan only frowned slightly at such a situation. She had long been used to it.
“Great Xia is indeed a small country. As one of the big sects inside, the cultivation of the disciples and elders inside are really a little low. I’m afraid that Zhu Zhao is the first Dharma Idol cultivator in the history of the Grand Moon Sect and even Great Xia…”
Wang Yuyan started to have some doubts about her decision to use the Grand Moon Sect’s patriarch as her backup.
Li Xuanmen and the Grand Moon Sect’s elder exchanged greetings for a while and revealed Wang Yuyan’s identity as a disciple from a Holy Land of cultivation. They also requested to see the Grand Moon Sect’s sect master and patriarch.
“Lord Li…”
The Grand Moon Sect’s sect master soon arrived. He was a middle-aged cultivator with a calm temperament. When he saw Wang Yuyan, he was first surprised by her appearance and then saw that her cultivation level was also in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage like him.
He thought to himself, ‘A Holy Land of cultivation is indeed powerful. A junior disciple is already at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage…’
When Wang Yuyan saw the sect master of the Grand Moon Sect, the disappointment and doubt in her heart grew even more.
When the time came to fight for the opportunity, she was afraid that she would not have any more battle strength, and there would be one more person who would be a burden, and even one less opportunity.
However, since she was already here, she still had to meet him.
“Old Ancestor… To be honest, after the Old Ancestor broke through, his whereabouts have been a mystery. Now, I also don’t know where he is…” the sect leader replied with a bitter smile.
