Lu Xin had already considered his options; the only thing he could confidently offer was his divine ability.
Therefore, upon hearing the offer, he took out the Supreme Wood Divine Lightning, concealing the comprehension methods for the Law of Wood and the Law of Thunder.
In terms of value, the two were basically equivalent, and the Supreme Wood Divine Lightning might even be slightly more valuable.
And judging by the looks of it, the other party really needed it.
So the transaction was quickly completed. Lu Xin obtained what he wanted: not a branch containing the other party's origin, but a section of bamboo infused with the aura of thunder and lightning, called Azure Thunder Bamboo.
This bamboo generally grows in regions with perennial thunderstorms, and was obtained by the other party during their early travels.
"Young man, looking at the meaning within this divine ability, it should originally contain the comprehension methods for the Law of Wood and the Law of Thunder, right?"
The Divine Wood Sect Master suddenly said after reading the contents of the jade slip.
Lu Xin wasn't surprised that the other party could see this. Anyway, with Immortal Dongji present, he wasn't afraid that the other party would go back on their word.
So he nodded in acknowledgement.
The Divine Wood Cave Master pondered for a moment, "I don't need the comprehension method for the Law of Thunder. Willow represents Yin, and thunder represents Yang, which is incompatible with my nature. And I already have the Law of Wood method, but I need more to mutually verify."
As she spoke, she took out a wooden box, opened it directly, and inside was a fruit that was as white as jade.
"This is a White Orchid Fruit, a fourth-order immortal medicine, and it's among the best of the fourth-order. Directly consuming it can raise your cultivation by a small realm. Combined with other immortal medicines and refined into a pill, it's possible to raise it by two small realms, and without any side effects."
Her meaning was clear, and Lu Xin naturally understood it.
But the problem now was that he didn't know anything about this fruit, and he didn't know if what she said was true or false.
If it was true, then he would naturally be happy to trade. What's so good about cultivation methods and divine abilities? Directly increasing cultivation is better!
Fortunately, Immortal Dongji spoke up in a timely manner, "Good for you, Divine Wood fellow Daoist, you're actually hiding such a good thing. Let this old man take a look."
The Divine Wood Sect Master understood his intention and handed it to him directly.
Immortal Dongji took it and carefully examined it before saying:
"It is indeed a White Orchid Fruit, and it was picked after it was ripe, and it's also very well preserved."
After appraising it, he returned it.
"How is it?" The Divine Wood Sect Master looked at Lu Xin and asked.
"Alright." Since there was no problem, Lu Xin was happy to trade.
After the exchange was completed, Immortal Dongji took him and left.
"Old ghost Dongji, the great calamity is approaching, you and I must help each other."
Arriving at the entrance of the Divine Wood Dao Sect, the Divine Wood Sect Master's tone was rarely somewhat soft.
"Don't worry, we're old friends."
Immortal Dongji nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "I'll see you here. Fellow Daoist, come to Dongji City when you have time."
"I will."
After a brief farewell, Immortal Dongji and Lu Xin disappeared from the spot one after another.
The Divine Wood Sect Master waited for the two to leave, pondered for a moment, and then prepared to return to the sect, but a stream of light shot from the sky again.
Obviously, another guest had come to visit.
So the Divine Wood Sect Master simply stayed.
When the stream of light dissipated, two figures were revealed, one old and one young.
In terms of appearance, the two were at least three points similar.
"Fellow Daoist Divine Wood, long time no see."
Seeing the Divine Wood Sect Master standing here, waiting specifically, the old man was obviously a little surprised. Then, thinking of the person who had just brushed past, he had some understanding and immediately cupped his hands in greeting.
The young man also cupped his hands in salute, but with only one hand, his right arm was hidden in his sleeve and not extended.
The Divine Wood Sect Master frowned slightly. The old man quickly explained upon seeing this:
"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. It's not that this junior is being rude, but there is a reason."
As he spoke, he pulled up the young man's sleeve and pointed, "Fellow Daoist, please look."
The Divine Wood Sect Master looked over in confusion, only to discover that the skin on the man's arm looked incomparably dry, not like flesh and blood, but more like a piece of wood.
And faintly visible, there was also a strange aura attached to it.
"This is a curse?" After seeing clearly, the Divine Wood Sect Master's eyes narrowed.
The old man also nodded solemnly, "It is indeed a curse, and it is a curse that can turn people into wood."
"You came to me wanting me to help your junior remove it?"
The old man nodded in agreement, "Please help, fellow Daoist. This old man will definitely be grateful."
As he spoke, he took out a jade box.
The Divine Wood Sect Master looked at the contents inside, his eyes lit up, and then he shook his head solemnly, "If it's a curse, then I'm afraid I'm also powerless."
The old man directly handed over the jade box and said:
"Although fellow Daoist doesn't know the curse, you attained the Dao through Divine Wood, so you should be able to think of a way."
"Moreover, this curse has already been controlled by this old man within one arm, and it's not too strong. I believe that with fellow Daoist's help, it can definitely be cleared."
The Divine Wood Sect Master was still somewhat hesitant, not because he was powerless, but because he was wondering if the person behind this curse could be offended.
You must know that there have never been many people with righteous minds who can cast curses.
"In this way, fellow Daoist, take a look first. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the reward will not be small."
Seeing his hesitation, the old man added to the offer.
"Very well, you all come with me first then."
Since the words had been spoken to this point, the Divine Wood Sect Master no longer refused.
… …
"Why, do you know the two people who just passed by?"
On the other side, Lu Xin and the two naturally brushed past the two just now. Seeing his strange expression, Immortal Dongji couldn't help but ask.
Of course Lu Xin knew them. The young man was the one who failed to assassinate him in front of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.
It seemed like his surname was Fang. He just didn't expect to meet him here.
But thinking about it, it was normal, because he had cast a small curse on him afterwards, called the Wood Transformation Divine Curse.
This curse could turn people into wooden puppets, and it was one of the thirteen cursed divine abilities that the Cursed Evil Emperor had passed on to him.
It was extremely strange.
"I've met him once." Lu Xin nodded in response.
Immortal Dongji didn't think much about it, assuming that he had encountered him during his recent robberies and that their relationship probably wasn't very good.
He probably had a grudge.
"What are your plans next, young man?"
He asked other questions.
Seeing his expression, Lu Xin was speechless and said, "You old man, you're not going to kick me out so soon, are you?"
Immortal Dongji snorted coldly, "You've caused so much trouble, I guess you yourself don't even know the extent of it. This old man has a large family and a big business, how dare I keep you?"
Lu Xin could understand, so he naturally wouldn't be angry and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't stay against my will. After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Lu, I'll leave."
"That's more like it." Immortal Dongji was satisfied now, and then curiously asked, "By the way, what exactly did you get in the Barbarian Ruins that made the Holy Spirit Palace chase after you so relentlessly?"
Lu Xin's smile froze. After thinking about it, this topic wasn't something that couldn't be discussed, so he concealed the possible connection between the Barbarian Young Master and Ji Yue, and told everything else.
"To be honest, rumors outside are spreading that the Holy Spirit Palace is chasing after me because I seized all the treasures. But that's not the case. But as for the specific reason, I don't know either. I'm still confused about it."
Over the years, he hadn't forgotten to inquire, but he hadn't found out any useful information.
"Is that so."
After listening, Immortal Dongji pondered with a solemn expression.
Being for treasure was relatively simple, but he was afraid that it involved too much. "This old man knows a little about the situation of the Barbarians, but I don't know what the connection is."
"Oh?" Lu Xin's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "I hope Immortal Elder will tell me."
