The hourglass!

It was the hourglass that he had seen in the giant’s authority list, the hourglass that was worth 99 rays of luck!

Lin Yi could already guess from what the man said at the meeting, but it still didn’t feel real to him.

With his relationship with Gu Jiumu, even though they were natural allies, they had to settle scores even if they were blood brothers, let alone the fact that they were only on the same side.

According to Lin Yi’s expectations, even if the other party was willing to buy the hourglass for him, he would have to pay a price. He wouldn’t give it to him so easily.

Who would have thought that such a priceless treasure would actually be thrown over as a greeting gift?

“Compared to Old Gu, my gift is so shabby.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but sweat.

For his first visit, he naturally prepared something. However, strictly speaking, it was not his own thing, but a notebook from Jiang Xiaoshang.

However, after receiving the ordinary notebook, Gu Jiumu sat up straight on the spot, his eyes flashing with excitement.

“This is…That lord asked you to give it to me?”

The lord he was talking about was none other than Jiang Xiaoshang.

Jiang Xiaoshang didn’t have much status in Lin Yi’s eyes, but he was still a real god’s clone, and it was a very special clone.

To any human cultivator, Jiang Xiaoshang represented that god, the powerful god who was below one god and above all gods!

Lin Yi nodded, surprised by Gu Jiumu’s reaction.

Although Gu Jiumu’s image today was a little subverted, in Lin Yi’s eyes, it didn’t affect his unfathomable abilities at all.

None of the nine men on the board were easy to deal with, especially the three top men. However, in Lin Yi’s eyes, Gu Jiumu was probably even more unfathomable than Kong Shenglin, who was known as the number one man in the world!

A supreme figure like this should be calm and unperturbed in the face of anything. Lin Yi even thought that this person should be able to face the gods without showing any signs of servitude or arrogance.

He didn’t expect Jiang Xiaoshang’s notes to move him so much.

Lin Yi sighed. It seemed like he had underestimated the influence of the gods.

Gu Jiumu put away the notebook solemnly and said seriously,” The value of this notebook has far exceeded the hourglass. Thank you very much.”

“Old Gu, you’re too polite.” Lin Yi paused.

Judging from the other party’s performance, the value of this notebook was probably not to be underestimated. Jiang Xiaoshang seemed unreliable, but it turned out that he was really a walking treasure trove.

However, when Jiang Xiaoshang first gave him the notebook, he had seen it before. It wasn’t a cultivation technique, but an annotation to an ancient book similar to the Tao Te Ching. It was said that it was written by a Quasi God from ancient times.

To a certain extent, seeing this thing could indeed broaden one’s horizons, but that was all. It shouldn’t make Gu Jiumu so excited, right?

Gu Jiumu saw Lin Yi’s confusion and explained,” I’ve reached a bottleneck and haven’t broken through in a long time. This book is enough to open a gap for me. It might be limited to others, but to me, it’s like a rain after a long drought. It’s priceless!”

Lin Yi understood.

At Gu Jiumu’s level, there was no need to follow the footsteps of his predecessors. He had to walk his own path, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t need any reference.

On the contrary, any hint during this period could enlighten them and even change them completely!

Of course, even if a normal person was a top-level expert, it would be difficult for them to give effective advice. Even the high and mighty gods might not have such ability.

The only exception was Jiang Xiaoshang’s original body, which was known as omniscient.

“Forgive me for asking, but what’s the relationship between Old Gu and that person?” Lin Yi asked.

Jiang Xiaoshang had once mentioned Gu Jiumu’s background in a roundabout manner, but because he was worried about the monitoring of his main body, he did not completely reveal it. He only said that Gu Jiumu and his side were on the same side and were natural allies.

From his previous performance, Gu Jiumu didn’t disappoint Lin Yi.

But the more so, the more curious Lin Yi was about his identity.

“I’m the World Wayfarer of that great god,” Gu Jiumu replied with a smile.

“Gods Walking?” Lin Yi was stunned.

Gu Jiumu was definitely related to Jiang Xiaoshang’s original body. However, he did not expect that the other party’s level was only that of the Walker of Gods.

Although nominally speaking, the Gods ‘Wayfarer was the spokesperson of the Gods in the human world, in the power system of the Gods, the level of the Gods’ Wayfarer was far from high. At the very least, it was definitely not higher than the high priest who controlled a temple.

Gu Jiumu smiled and explained,” That god is different from the other gods. He doesn’t set up a temple in the human world. He only chose a few World Wayfarers, and the number is very limited.”

“I see.”

Lin Yi nodded. They were going to take the elite troop route. If the Wanderers were all at Gu Jiumu’s level, even if they had limited numbers, their overall strength would still be extraordinary.

Just Gu Jiumu alone could easily crush the original Sea Goddess Hall.

Speaking of which, Jiang Xiaoshang’s original body was obviously betting on Lin Yi. He was even standing on the opposite side of the God of Creation. In this situation, Gu Jiumu, as his Wanderer, naturally stood on the same side as Lin Yi.

To some extent, he even had to take on the responsibility of protecting Lin Yi.

Otherwise, if Lin Yi died halfway, both he and the god behind him would have to pay a heavy price, or even die with Lin Yi!

Gu Jiumu’s gaze fell on the hourglass again.” Although this hourglass is a good thing, you must be careful when you use it,” he reminded.

“Are there any side effects?” Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

“Not only that,” Gu Jiumu shook his head meaningfully.

There was nothing perfect in the world. Even the best treasure would have its side effects. If that was the case, there was no need for him to mention it.

” There’s an invisible mark on every treasure in the list of privileges that the giant has,” Gu Jiumu said indifferently.” It’s so pervasive that it’s hard to detect.”

“Kong Shenglin’s doing?” Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed.

In the vast Divine Kingdom on land, the only person who had the ability to do this was probably the number one person in the world..
