Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 225: Throwing dirty water

'It makes sense. As a fragment of the Dao Fruit, it is normal for it to contain legal principles. Or the many special abilities of the eighth-grade [Wandering Scholar] and the ninth-grade [Boy] are themselves a manifestation of legal principles, but they are more fragmentary and incomplete than complete legal principles, so they are difficult to grasp. But if you think about it carefully, many of the abilities of the [Wandering Scholar] and the [Boy] can actually be classified as the seventh-grade [Alchemist]. '

"Although the abilities of the [Alchemist] cannot be completely classified as a sixth-grade [Flying Immortal], they are basically classified as a fifth-grade [Jijiu]. Therefore, there is a certain logic behind the promotion direction of these Dao Fruit fragments..."

Chu Tai recalled the many Dao Fruit fragments he had, and thought about the past description of the Ten Thousand Leaves and Thousand Cores Lotus Mother, as well as his own performance when facing the sources of alienation. He was basically certain that the Dao Fruit fragments in his body had been sorted out by the Donghuang Bell and derived into a system.

At this point, Chu Tai couldn't help but have an idea.

'If the Donghuang Bell has the ability to sort out Dao Fruit fragments, then could it be a treasure that was born out of necessity? Is it a treasure derived from Dongji Chenguang Datian to target Xianxian Daohua Datian, or is it because the Donghuang Bell has this ability that it was chosen by Dongji Chenguang Datian to target Xianxian Daohua Datian?'

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chu Tai rejected it himself. After all, Chu Tai was not from the Dongji Chenguang Heaven, and the Donghuang Bell was more like a treasure that brought him to this Heaven. He should not have been chosen by the Dongji Chenguang Heaven.

"So the Eastern Heaven has already produced a treasure that targets me, and I just happened to appear in this world, so I was chosen as a backup, or pushed to the front as a target?"

Such thoughts kept coming to his mind, but Chu Tai quickly rejected them one by one.

He felt that he had been too free recently and had the time to think about such questions.

To put it bluntly, if he really became the man of destiny, it would be a good thing. After all, he would not die before his luck dissipated and his destiny was fulfilled.

Moreover, in the process of responding to opportunities, if you seize the opportunities, you can grow rapidly, there is nothing wrong with that.

'It is much better than learning many skills but not having a chance to use them, or practicing for hundreds of years but lacking a chance, and having to settle for second best and build your foundation with inferior Dharma.'

Chu Tai put away the Taiyi Two-Phase Ring in his hand, and handed the Five Qi Fu Yuan Tent, which had completed another round of refinement, to Qiao Ran'er.

"After many refinements, this treasure already contains some of the principles of the five elements. If you are interested, you can find more of the essence of the five elements, polish and improve it bit by bit, and gradually perfect it. It can become a first-class protective treasure."

Taking the transformed Five Elements Rotten Yuan Account in his hand, he felt that although it was not perfect inside, it had stabilized. He could clearly feel the embryonic form of the law belonging to the Five Elements side, and was quietly ecstatic.

His fingers moved back and forth across the magic weapon inch by inch several times before Qiao Ran'er put it in his arms with satisfaction.

Watching Chu Tai packing up his things, Qiao Raner asked, "Fellow Daoist Taining, are you preparing to leave?"

Chu Tai nodded: "I have been practicing here for more than a year, and it is time to leave. I would like to ask you to help tell Madam Qingli a little bit."

As he said that, he took out the Liuguang Shuttle that Qingli had given him as a thank you gift. "Wait a moment." Qiao Ran'er suddenly stopped him, and Chu Tai looked back in surprise.

"In recent days, when I was outside collecting materials, I also asked my fellow disciples to help me find out about Hong Yue. I didn't find out much about him, but I did find out about the other Taoist Shi Ruotie you mentioned. This Taoist has a bad reputation now. He is obviously practicing pure Yang fire, but he pretends to be the successor of the Taiyi Jinhua lineage in the East, and has harmed many people."

When saying this, Qiao Raner glanced at Chu Tai, and seeing that he had not changed much, she continued, "A few days ago, several independent cultivators wanted to kill him, but he killed them instead. Now, some areas in the Central Plains have begun to target the descendants of the Jinhua Sect."

Chu Tai heard this and asked curiously, "Since everyone can see that there is something wrong with this person and it is not the Jinhua Sect's fault, why did they choose to target the Jinhua Sect? I remember that this lineage has almost been cut off."

Qiao Ran'er lowered her voice and said, "I heard that this time, the forces of Xiu Ziya, Ziran Sect, and Xuan Mo Yunmen condoned and even fanned the flames. I heard from several elders that these forces have a very bad relationship with Jinhua Sect. Although they will not specifically target it due to their status, they don't mind giving it a push if there is a problem and ruining its reputation."

"After all, if you first destroy the other party's reputation, it will be easier to take action when you meet the real successor in the future. For example, you can ask the other party to prove his innocence or ask him not to move around freely. Many of the originally rude requests seem to become reasonable with the help of a bad reputation."

When Qiao Ran'er said this, he was quite emotional. It was the same for his lineage. Anyone who knew his heritage would look down on him. As long as there was financial loss in the places he passed by, regardless of whether he had any contact with them or not, they would regard him as a suspect and ask him to prove his innocence.

Of course, in Qiao Ran'er's opinion, the Jinhua Sect was even more miserable than him.

After thousands of years of development, his lineage has already developed a series of coping methods. In addition, everyone has become accustomed to it and they themselves are mentally prepared.

The Jinhua Sect, as the original descendant of Taiyi and the orthodox Xuanmen, is a pillar of the righteous path with a legitimate origin. Its inheritance and education methods must be different from those of their thieves' sect. Disciples of the sect are bound to have arrogance and self-esteem, and are more likely to get into trouble.

The most important thing is that the Taiyi lineage does not have a very good reputation in the Central Plains, so it is too easy to throw dirty water on the Jinhua Sect.

As for Jinhua Sect, it is still unknown how much time and effort it will take to get rid of this influence.

Chu Tai, who also guessed the intentions of the forces behind the slander, chuckled, thanked Qiao Ran'er, and threw the shuttle out. The light rolled down and Chu Tai's figure disappeared.

Seeing this, Qiao Ran'er silently sat on the boat and took out a jade token from her sleeve. On it was a platform for internal information exchange within the Thieves' Sect. Looking at the reward for information about the successor of the Jinhua Sect at the top, Qiao Ran'er silently put it back, took out the portrait of Chu Tai that she had prepared, stretched out her hand, burned it, and scattered it into the lake.

After casting a spell to erase all traces, Qiao Raner looked in the direction where Chu Tai left: "Given the situation of Daoist Brother Taining, I don't know how long he can keep it secret. It must be longer, otherwise I, an old man, will suffer a great loss..."

The next second, Qiao Raner looked at the remaining ashes of the painting she had burned, recalled the amount of the reward, and felt heartbroken again.
