“The state preceptor has just taken a holiday and now he has to be dragged back by me. He won’t be happy.”

“Who’s unhappy?”

Lil Man had already arrived outside at some point in time and ran in after hearing the two of them talk.

“State Preceptor, you heard me just now.”

“That’s right. My ears are very sharp.”

The two of them had been working together for a long time. Now that they were working together again, they were even more skilled. Li Yuanqing also believed that they would definitely be able to rebuild Chengdu.

In contrast to the relaxed and happy atmosphere here, on the other end, a sallow and emaciated white-browed Daoist was pacing back and forth in the cave abode angrily.

“How could this be?”

“Just a little brat?”

He could not believe that he had actually lost to such a guy.

“I was taken care of by a human kid from the lower realm. If this gets out, I’ll lose all my old face!”

The white-browed Daoist cursed furiously, occasionally spouting vulgarities.

“It’s all this bastard Black Dragon’s fault. He tricked me with a mere flood dragon egg.”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was really greedy back then. For such a small amount of benefits, he inexplicably went down. In the end, he was taught a lesson by this little fellow.

There was a simple case in front of him.

The solid wood case was engraved with very clear patterns. These patterns were intertwined with each other, and in the middle was a ball of scorched earth.

This was originally a descending array. It was through this array formation that he transmitted his power to the lower realm and condensed into that avatar.

However, the core component of the array formation had been completely destroyed. The person who had destroyed his array formation was an unknown human from the lower realm.

Moreover, that lower realm had always been a vassal of the Black Dragon. The energy inside should have been sucked clean by the Black Dragon. How could such a powerful person still be born?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that this bullsh * t Black Dragon must have hidden something from him. Otherwise, he would not have been defeated so miserably.

Just as he was sulking here, a rapid fluctuation suddenly came from outside the cave abode.

The shadow of a black dragon appeared in front of him.

“Arcanum.”

The moment the white-browed Daoist saw this guy, he was furious and disappeared from where he was.

Outside was a mountain surrounded by immortal energy. Halfway up the mountain, in front of a cave abode surrounded by green, a black dragon in human form was waiting in boredom.

He had already created too many avatars, and now was the critical time for him to break through the realm. He couldn’t divide the power in his body again, so he found a good friend of his this time.

This Daoist Arcanum was trained by a demonic beast, but unlike ordinary demonic beasts, he was especially skilled in the art of mechanisms.

In his early years, Daoist Arcanum had become a disciple of a human immortal sect, which was why he had developed this ability.

However, it was precisely because he had wasted too much time on the art of traps that Daoist Arcanum’s breakthrough in his cultivation base was inferior to that of his fellow clansmen. Now that he was already old, he would probably never be able to find an opportunity to advance further in this lifetime.

It was also for this reason that Daoist Arcanum was now spending more time researching mechanisms, hoping that he would be able to find a breakthrough on another path and obtain a longer life.

However, this Daoist Arcanum, who had always been very good-tempered, didn’t have any kindness on his face when he appeared today.

“You Black Dragon! You tricked me and now you’ve caused me to lose a clone for nothing. How are you going to compensate me?”

The black dragon looked at him in surprise.

“You failed?”

“You still have the nerve to say that? That kid actually had that kind of magic treasure in his hand. My clone fought with him, but in the end, he used that magic treasure to take it away.”

“A magic treasure?”

The Black Dragon’s expression slowly turned ugly.

He had originally come today to ask about the situation. Just now, in the communication, Daoist Arcanum had cut off the path between the two of them without saying a word. He thought that this matter was not going particularly smoothly, but he did not expect it to fail directly.

“Don’t come looking for me in the future. Also, you can’t miss out on the flood dragon egg you promised me!”

The Black Dragon was also feeling aggrieved. He was also a sucker. He had lost a flood dragon egg for no reason. He hadn’t even succeeded, yet he was already asking for something.

“Xuan Ji, can you be reasonable? I entrusted this matter to you and promised to give you a reward. But now that you’ve messed things up, how can you still take my dragon egg?”

“Then who will compensate me for the loss of my clone? 1 was bewitched by you to go to the lower realm. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to go to that lousy place!”

Black Dragon frowned as he pondered. He did not expect Li Yuanqing to be so powerful.

He felt that although his strength was still quite powerful, it was possible that his clone’s technique was a level lower and was unable to suppress that human. That was why he had found Daoist Arcanum.

This guy had endless methods, and his clones were unique among everyone’s clones.

After all, this fellow was a master of puppetry. If his clone went down, he should be able to take care of Li Yuanqing no matter what. However, he did not expect Li Yuanqing to still win. This really subverted his imagination.

The black dragon pondered for a long time, then looked at Daoist Arcanum.”! can give you the dragon egg, but you have to catch that kid with me.” “Capture?” Daoist Arcanum said disdainfully,” What does the lower realm have to do with me if it’s your territory? Besides, that kid is holding a real magic treasure. How do you think the two of us can take it down? Just based on your words, how many clones do I have to sacrifice?”

The Black Dragon’s eyes lit up.” Xuan Ji, you saw what that human kid was holding. It’s a magic treasure. How strong is he? He’s only at the Array Formation Realm. If we kill him, that magic treasure will be ours. When the Demon Realm stabilizes, I’ll just give this magic treasure to you. Isn’t this a good deal?”

“Give me the magic treasure?”

Xuan Ji stared at the black dragon doubtfully.

The Black Dragon patted his chest and said,” We’ve been good friends for many years. Why don’t you trust me? Besides, I’ve worked hard to manage this lower realm for so many years. I can’t let it easily fall into the hands of the humans. Wouldn’t my reputation be ruined?”

Xuan Ji snorted coldly and said,”What are you saying? Your reputation has long been ruined.””

The Black Dragon’s face darkened, and he could not hold it in any longer.

“Let’s not talk about that. Just tell me whether you want this magic treasure or not. If you want it, we can work together. I believe such a good opportunity is very important to you.”

“What’s so important about me? I didn’t lose anything. If you didn’t lie to me, I would still be fine now.”

“Think about it. Isn’t your precious mechanism technique lacking a magic treasure as its core?”

Daoist Arcanum narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Black Dragon. He didn’t expect Black Dragon to be so well-informed that he even knew about this matter.

Seeing that his trick had succeeded, the black dragon immediately smiled proudly.

“Xuanji, I’ve already given you so many benefits just to protect my face. So what if that magic treasure is compared to a lower realm?”

This was indeed a very cost-effective deal. If he could obtain a magic weapon, it would greatly increase his personal strength.

No matter how many mysteries he had, it was nothing more than increasing the income of a mine. Magic weapons could only be encountered by luck. Such a good opportunity.

“But the question is, why does that kid have a magic weapon? Is there someone behind him?”

“I’ll send someone to investigate..”
