Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

"Who says I can't bear to part with it?"

Seeing that the woman was trying to intercept him, the old man with the air of a hermit raised his eyebrows, and the little bit of hesitation in his heart disappeared without a trace.

What kind of temperament and aptitude does that kid have?

A true celestial spiritual root, with a maturity far exceeding that of his peers, his performance in the Azure Sky Cultivation World this time is simply beyond description.

If one must describe him, one can only call him the chosen one of the planes.

Although the three of them have been friends for over a thousand years, sharing both prosperity and adversity, there's no reason to entrust such a good opportunity to someone else. Inviting him to be her grandson-in-law is definitely the safest and most satisfying option.

The thought crossed his mind, and the old man surnamed Zuo raised his head, flicked his sleeve, and said unhappily, "Who is reluctant to part with it? When did I ever say I was reluctant to part with it?"

His 3D projection took half a step forward, and his tone became resolute: "I admit that my girl is a bit too spoiled, but she is still a sensible and good child at heart, and she has been smart since she was a child. She still has this sense of proportion. No matter how good your disciple is, how could he possibly be as good as my girl?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Madam Feng, don't argue with me about this. No matter how close a disciple is, how can they compare to blood ties?"

"So let's leave this to Xinhe for now. If she really can't handle that kid surnamed Duan, then you can send your disciple over."

Madam Feng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Old Zuo, you speak beautifully. It's true that my disciple is not related to me by blood, but we are like mother and daughter. Why should I give way to you?"

"you……"

The old man surnamed Zuo was very anxious and was about to lash out, but then he changed his mind and regained his calm expression: "Alright, Fellow Daoist Feng, we have known each other for over a thousand years and we know each other's personalities. There's no need to put on an act here. You're just saying this because you want benefits, so don't hide it and just say it. How can you give it to me?"

"readily."

Upon hearing this, Madam Feng smiled and put down her teacup, gently tapping the rim with her fingertips. After a brief silence, she slowly raised her head and smiled as she spoke: "How about this? I won't go too far or make things difficult for you, Lao Zuo. At the last Guixu Star Alliance meeting, the three of us were allocated a superdimensional deep space spiritual energy detector. Each of us has ten years' worth of use for it. You can transfer your share to me as compensation for my disciple making way for your girl."

"Of course." Madam Feng chuckled again. "The saying goes, 'a bet is a bet.' If your girl messes up or doesn't want to, I'll still take the things. You can't go back on your word, and you can't try to take her from me again. The same applies to Xinhe. If she succeeds, that's her own ability. It's fate. I will never try to take her from you, nor will I interfere. How about that? This condition should be reasonable and not excessive."

"A hyperdimensional deep-space psionic detector?"

The old man with the air of a hermit immediately felt a pang in his heart. Even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, the right to use it was extremely rare. To be honest, he was extremely reluctant to part with it.

But then he thought of Duan Xuan's performance in the Azure Sky Immortal Cultivation World. Not only did this kid possess a true Heavenly Spiritual Root, but his temperament and aptitude were also so outstanding. If he could become his grandson-in-law... this investment would definitely be a sure thing.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he slapped his thigh and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I agree, just as you said."

Upon hearing this, Madam Feng smiled charmingly and didn't say much. The matter was settled in the midst of laughter and conversation.

Meanwhile, Lingxi heard their conversation clearly and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She didn't know why, but she just felt very annoyed and uncomfortable.

However, Lingxi certainly couldn't lash out on the spot, since as an AI, she was considered to have no intelligence in the eyes of the three Nascent Soul stage monsters.

How could I possibly expose my secret?

But this matter... is not over yet.

In short, Lingxi's reaction was instinctive resistance. She secretly mobilized her computing power to figure out how to ruin the upcoming blind date.

To achieve this without leaving a trace, even the three divine lords could not detect the slightest clue.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators, of course, had no idea what Ling tide was thinking. They had even secretly started making moves, finalizing a strategy to leverage Duan Xuan and tie him down. Then they moved on to the next topic.

This time, it was the handsome middle-aged man who spoke up. He had neither blood relatives nor beautiful female disciples among the three, so he seemed quite indifferent to the dispute between his two old friends. In any case, he could hitch a ride on whoever succeeded.

So he smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you two old folks, the three of us have known each other for over a thousand years. This is just a trivial matter, what's there to argue about?"

He offered this advice first, then turned to look at the virtual, beautiful girl: "Lingxi, you said that besides the battle results related to Duan Xuan, there was another very important matter that you called us here, one that even concerns the Return to the Void?"

"That's exactly right."

Although Lingxi was displeased, she did not show any abnormality on the surface. Her tone was calm and composed, just like usual: "This social practice trip to the Azure Sky Immortal Cultivation World has encountered unexpected changes. A lot of resentful demons have appeared in the Blood Trial instance."

"What, the Demon of Resentment?"

The three old monsters were stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up with joy.

There's no other reason than that, while the "Resentment Screen Protector" might seem insignificant to them, it follows a pattern: wherever the Resentment Demon appears, treasures will inevitably appear, and usually, extraordinary treasures at that.

"Of course, that's not the most important thing. After all, ordinary treasures are simply not worth the attention of a Nascent Soul cultivator. But one thing is obvious: since Lingxi called them over, it wasn't without reason."

"What kind of treasure is it that could even affect the Void?"

"It's a Void-Containing Stone!"

"What? The Void Stone is actually this treasure?"

"Really? A mere Qi Refining cultivator's training ground actually has this kind of spatial treasure."

……

Upon hearing this, the three divine lords couldn't help but widen their eyes, somewhat losing their composure.

It's not that they lack composure, but rather that this whole thing is just outrageous.

The Void Stone is a spatial treasure and an important material for repairing the Qiankun Hunyuan Protective Array.

As we all know, since the fall of Lin Tianzun, all the heavens and myriad realms have been filled with malice towards Guixu. The reason why Guixu was able to block enemies from all directions with the power of a single realm is because the formation left by Tianzun was powerful enough.

However, even the most powerful formation will suffer tremendous losses under the relentless attacks of countless powerful enemies, and the Void Stone is the only repair material, so you can imagine how important it is!

However, such treasures within this space are extremely rare, and even with the combined power of the entire Guixu, it would be difficult to find them.

did not expect……

The thought flashed through his mind, and the venerable old man spoke: "Who obtained the Void-Containing Stone?"

"Duan Xuan!"

Lingxi's voice was melodious, but her expression remained blank.
