After a moment, the phone connected. Yu Tongbao, abandoning the dignified demeanor he'd shown to Luo You and the others, spoke with utmost respect, "Young Master Long, where are you now?"
"No, no, how would I dare to interfere with you!"
"The main reason I'm calling you this time is to inform you that our attack on the Order Hall has been exposed. The Order Hall will likely target our Myriad Treasure Pavilion soon!"
"Therefore, your subordinate wishes to request that Young Master Long personally step forward..."
As he spoke, Yu Tongbao's body involuntarily hunched slightly, his expression as respectful as it could be.
He looked like a fawning dog!
If anyone from the Myriad Treasure Pavilion saw him like this now, their jaws would surely drop to the ground!
Later, perhaps because the person on the other end of the line agreed, Yu Tongbao said excitedly, "Thank you, Young Master Long, thank you, Young Master Long! Then, your subordinate will await Young Master Long's arrival at the Myriad Treasure Pavilion!"
"At that time, when they see Young Master Long, I wonder how astonished they will be!"
A moment later, after ending the call, Yu Tongbao was utterly delighted, his face beaming with smiles.
He no longer harbored any worries about the Order Hall coming to deal with the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. In fact, he walked to the door, looked up at the sky, and even felt a sense of anticipation for the Order Hall's arrival!
In the Cloud Mist Mountain, Qin Yi and Xue Qiao'er were immersed in their cultivation.
Seeing Qin Yi's incredibly rapid absorption of spiritual energy, Xue Qiao'er, as if in a competition, circulated her techniques with all her might to absorb spiritual energy.
However, no matter how diligently she circulated her cultivation, her spiritual energy absorption speed could never match Qin Yi's.
Her absorption speed was at most about a tenth of Qin Yi's.
Finally, unable to keep up, Xue Qiao'er gave up and focused on her own cultivation!
Qin Yi was aware of all of Xue Qiao'er's actions, but he remained silent!
After Xue Qiao'er gave up, Qin Yi sat there, eyes closed, a wicked curve forming on his lips!
The cultivation technique he used was a path of immortal cultivation passed down by the mad old man. Xue Qiao'er's technique was naturally no match for it!
Later, after an unknown period of time, a voice suddenly echoed in Qin Yi's mind while he was engrossed in cultivation. It was Lan Baizhi.
"Stop cultivating for now. You need to go to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion immediately!"
In an instant, Qin Yi's eyes snapped open, and he turned to look around.
But all he saw were trees. Besides himself and Xue Qiao'er sitting beside him, Lan Baizhi was nowhere to be seen!
Qin Yi stood up and scanned his surroundings again, still unable to find Lan Baizhi.
"Stop looking. Hurry to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion! If you're late, you'll miss the good show!"
Lan Baizhi's voice sounded again in Qin Yi's mind.
After saying that, there was no more movement from her.
In this situation, with Lan Baizhi nowhere in sight, Qin Yi didn't bother searching for her. He was almost accustomed to his two senior sisters being so mysterious and unpredictable!
Thus, Qin Yi, with no intention of continuing his cultivation, stood up!
As he stood, Xue Qiao'er, hearing the movement, also opened her eyes.
Seeing her, Qin Yi said, "Um, I have a sudden urgent matter and need to go to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. I'll be leaving now! If you still wish to cultivate here, I can lend you this Spirit Gathering Formation. You can return it to me later!"
"You're going to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion? Why?" Xue Qiao'er asked.
Qin Yi didn't answer.
After all, he didn't know why he had to go to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion; it was simply that his senior sister had suddenly asked him to.
Seeing Qin Yi's silence, Xue Qiao'er also stood up and said, "I'll go with you! Wherever you go, I go!"
A hint of helplessness flickered across Qin Yi's face. He didn't say more to her, put away the Spirit Gathering Formation he had placed aside, and headed out of the mountain.
Xue Qiao'er quickly caught up.
"Qin Yi, why is your spiritual energy absorption rate so fast when you cultivate?"
As they walked out of the mountain, Xue Qiao'er asked.
"Because I'm powerful!" Qin Yi replied.
He didn't directly say it was because the cultivation technique he used was more advanced, a path of immortal cultivation!
Xue Qiao'er blinked in surprise at his answer.
Immediately after, she rolled her eyes and asked again, "Who set up that Spirit Gathering Formation earlier?"
Before Qin Yi could answer, she sighed, "This Spirit Gathering Formation is the best quality one I've seen in years! its effect of gathering spiritual energy is simply incredible!"
A proud curve involuntarily formed on Qin Yi's lips as he said, "I set it up myself."
"!!!"
Xue Qiao'er's steps stopped reflexively.
Her eyes widened to their maximum as she looked at Qin Yi.
"You set it up yourself! Qin Yi, you can also set up formations? Are you joking with me?"
"Haha..."
Qin Yi merely chuckled at her shock, offering no explanation.
Soon, they reached the outskirts of the mountain, hailed a car, and headed straight for the Myriad Treasure Pavilion headquarters.
Qin Yi didn't know where the Myriad Treasure Pavilion was; it was Xue Qiao'er who guided him.
Fortunately, he had Xue Qiao'er with him, otherwise, he wouldn't have known how to get there.
Time flew by, and as night fell, it was now evening.
At this time, in the reception hall of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion headquarters, several figures were seated.
Among them were Yu Tongbao and the King of the Miao Village, Jin Xiuxian.
In addition, there was a monk in a kasaya holding a Zen staff, and a burly man with a large saber placed beside his chair.
The monk in the kasaya was the abbot of Lingyun Temple, Master Hui Guang! The burly man was the sect leader of the Golden Saber Sect, Mao Xiang!
Since this was the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, Yu Tongbao naturally occupied the main seat. Jin Xiuxian and the other two sat in the other three seats in the hall.
Luo You, the second protector of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, was also seated nearby.
After a moment, Yu Tongbao spoke first, "King Miao, Sect Leader Mao, Abbot Hui Guang, thank you for making the journey on such short notice!"
Mao Xiang waved his hand and said, "Pavilion Master Yu, let's dispense with pleasantries! You should first tell us what that token is all about."
"That's right, this old monk came today solely because of that token!" Master Hui Guang said calmly, "I hope Pavilion Master Yu can explain it clearly to us!"
Jin Xiuxian said, "Those people from the Order Hall monitor me day in and day out. I went to great lengths to come here today..."
"Pavilion Master Yu, stop beating around the bush and tell us, where did you get that token?"
In the face of their inquiries, Yu Tongbao smiled broadly.
Under their direct gaze, he replied, "The token is naturally mine!"
