Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 301 - 219: The Gathering Treasure Golden Tower holds a Profound Mystery, Lingmu Holy Embryo accepts the Medical Immortal

Medicine King Temple, from heaven to earth, thousands of cultivators, demons, and alien species.

With Tao Qian himself included, all had their expressions frozen for a moment.

Under the gaze of many, Tao Qian, looking at the warm, dazzling, and weighty "Golden Mountain" in his palm, really wanted to make an excuse.

"It was the Gathering Treasure Gold Mountain that started it, I just touched it once."

"This is clearly a setup, I haven't even inherited my cheap master's mantle yet, I can't be considered Duobao."

Tao Qian muttered internally, which did not alleviate the awkward atmosphere.

However, soon enough, He Sen reacted.

He saw this good-looking leader of the Changchun Society step down through the air.

In a blink, he was in front of Tao Qian.

Although Tao Qian had concealed his aura of being a Spirit Treasure True Inheritor, his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation was something anyone could see at a glance.

He Sen, as a cultivator of Perfect Transcend Mortality, naturally discerned this immediately.

Even so, he bowed respectfully and then said,

"Daoist's aura is extraordinary, and your divine powers are not something ordinary cultivators possess, presumably, you are a true disciple from a major sect or great sect."

"Considering that it's only a [Gathering Treasure Mountain], if Daoist has the means to take it, our Changchun Society should not be stingy, and making a friend would be good too."

"However, there is a particular reason here, this treasure mountain is prepared by our Changchun Society to reward many fellow Daoists. If we let Daoist take it all away, it might be somewhat inappropriate."

"How about this, Daoist put the treasure mountain back, and our Changchun Society will offer another generous gift in return?"

"How about it?"

Honestly, He Sen's words were quite a decent response.

It sounded reasonable and justified, and the surrounding cultivators, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement.

Especially those low-level cultivators who had grabbed golden bricks but ended up seeing them fly away, their gazes were particularly eager.

Having a treasure voluntarily flying into someone else's hands, who wouldn't feel miserable?

At this moment, Tao Qian also came to his senses from his daze and did not respond to He Sen immediately, but first looked at the Record that burst into his mind.

[Record Name: Gathering Treasure Golden Tower.]

[Record Type: Alien object.]

[Record: This treasure was commissioned by the Changchun Society with spiritual materials compensation, securing the Demon City Giant Merchant Liu Hongsheng and several dozen other cultivators skilled in Refining Treasure to craft it together, consisting of two parts: one is over ten thousand Wealth-Attracting Gold Bricks, the other is the Gathering Treasure Pearl; when combined, they form an exotic treasure not only capable of attracting wealth and treasures but also capable of attacking at will.]

[Note 1: The ten thousand and eighty-one gold bricks can be distributed and not only assist the bearer in absorbing fortune and energy but also absorb the fortune of the bearer itself. Once a certain limit is reached, various accidents will cause the bearer to lose the gold bricks, which will then return to the possessor of the Gathering Treasure Pearl.]

[Note 2: The Gathering Treasure Pearl, currently in the hands of the Undying Doctor Immortal He Sen, who plans to spend ten years to gather all the gold bricks, after which the power of this treasure can increase by fifty percent.]

[Note 3: Exemption from fortune absorption is possible! But cannot be exempted from being reclaimed by the pearl!]

…

"Ha, just as I thought, a fishing man is just a fishing man."

After reading the Record, Tao Qian immediately criticized in his mind.

Before coming here, Tao Qian had conveniently slaughtered a few disciples of this so-called He Sen, an evil cultivator.

From these few people's experiences, this good-looking Medical Immortal was actually a shameless fishing man.

Now it seemed, without a doubt, this to be true.

But his methods were indeed very covert, if Tao Qian hadn't cheated with an abnormal soul, he would not have noticed at all.

"Ten years, who will remember this after ten years?"

"The mortality rate of low-level cultivators in the Cultivation World is already high. Even if someone notices some clues after ten years, there would likely be no evidence."

"Ordinarily, during a grand opening, such devious moves shouldn't be made to avoid affecting the reputation of the square later."

"But if it could be done so covertly, a demon evil cultivator like He Sen wouldn't also refuse."

A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and Tao Qian recognized the underlying secrets.

At the same time, regarding why the golden tower proactively sought him out, Tao Qian had a guess: It seemed not to be the manipulation of his scheming master but more likely due to the tribulation energy accumulated on his body plus the absorbing power of the Nine Toad Bead drawing in treasures.

Alien objects that absorb wealth and fortune should also attract each other.

But who draws whom?

Naturally, it depends on the tier.

In this regard, the Nine Toad Bead was naturally far superior to the golden tower.

Realizing all this, Tao Qian listened as He Sen came forth to ask for it.

He didn't respond immediately, nor did he return the golden tower.

Instead, he took a good look at this extraordinary and handsome Undying Doctor Immortal, considered his identity and status, the layers he could contact, and then looked up at the few Cavernous Mystery Realm cultivators above, silently forming a plan.

Tao Qian first weighed the golden tower in his hand, then asked with an innocent and puzzled expression:

"Didn't Mr. He earlier say that it's for us to use as we wish?"

"Although I don't really like this thing, it's strangely heavy."

"But I do like gold. You mentioned there are more than ten thousand gold bricks here, that's wonderful. After I return, I'll melt them down to build a golden house, golden beds, golden tables, golden toilets, and that would be pleasant indeed..."

With each word Tao Qian spoke, he could see He Sen's expression darken a bit more.

But earlier, it was his own promise.

With the square's imminent opening, it wouldn't be good to go back on his word.

And he couldn't directly take out the [Gathering Treasure Pearl] to reclaim the golden tower, which would completely ruin his reputation.

Thus, at this moment, He Sen had to suppress his anger, bowed again, and then spoke with even more sincerity:

"If Daoist truly desires a golden house, then it's quite simple. I can directly build one to exchange with you."

"No, two golden houses, considering it as Changchun Society making friends with Daoist, we'll build two golden houses in exchange for this golden tower, how about that?"

He Sen thought these words were highly sincere, enough for success.

However, the strange big-eared cultivator before him, upon hearing this, still shook his head and directly stuffed the golden tower into his bosom.

Shaking his head pompously, he adopted the stance of an expert and said,

"Mr. He, no need for further words, although I am not keen on this Golden Tower."

"But it comes with sincerity, willingly offering itself to me, believing that we are fated. How could I have the heart to refuse it?"

"Mr. He, do not entangle me further. Go, just go."

As his words fell, Tao Qian led the three youngsters and turned to depart.

Perhaps because he left so swiftly, He Sen was unable to react in time. After dazing out for a moment, a fierce light burst in his eyes.

Still, he did not make a move but secretly transmitted his voice:

"Daoist, your skills are admirable. I, He Sen, admit defeat."

"Please state your conditions then, the Changchun Society is willing to accept the bet and admit loss."

Tao Qian heard the transmission but completely ignored it.

Entering the crowd, within a few breaths, he reached the edge.

Just as he was about to leave the Medicine King Temple, He Sen, with a grim face, instantly moved to block in front of Tao Qian.

Outwardly, he still spoke loudly, stubbornly saying, "Hold on, Daoist. Please, hear me out…"

This, of course, was for the audience. Secretly, he transmitted to Tao Qian:

"I can see it now; you deliberately came to cause trouble, are you perhaps one of the little demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Square?"

"You dare not provoke the Lotus Heart Temple but think you can bully the Changchun Society?"

"If you do not return the tower today, I'm afraid you will lose your life."

As soon as he transmitted this message, Tao Qian's body abruptly halted.

Seeing this effect, He Sen thought it was working and was about to press harder.

However, the next moment, he saw this strange cultivator in front of him behaving oddly once more.

First, he looked up at several Cavernous Mystery Realm cultivators above who were too proud to land. Then he raised his hand to calculate, and suddenly, he openly revealed He Sen's secrets.

"Mr. He, although you are involved in heresy and heterodoxy, you cultivate the 'Mixed Element Life Extension Scripture' and intentionally spread the Beast Heart Technique to create puppet slaves. Furthermore, you abuse mortals everywhere, cultivating Medicine People for your own cultivation... Such actions have already led you to become a Fallen Demon."

Not only was He Sen stunned by Tao Qian's words.

Many surrounding demons, evil cultivators, and others reacted similarly.

Fallen Demon?

Ha, if that's the standard, there wouldn't be many in the Medicine King Temple who haven't fallen.

What He Sen did, many cultivators were also doing.

It was just that, due to the difference in power, their actions were not as outrageous as He Sen's.

Thinking this, He Sen was about to mock this peculiar youth.

However, Tao Qian, as if anticipating this, took another step forward, blinked at him, and spoke again with a smile:

"Being a Fallen Demon might not be much, but your entanglement with me,"

"This proves, Mr. He... your moment of doom has arrived!"

"What?"

The last sentence hit He Sen, immediately setting off alarms in his heart.

His face also showed shock, disbelief, and irritation.

No wonder he reacted this way.

Who could have expected?

A mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator daring to strike a Perfect Transcend Mortality cultivator?

Such behavior, isn't it seeking death?

Yet, Tao Qian not only made his move, but it was also certainly not suicide.

While he was still talking, Tao Qian grinned and suddenly waved his sleeve at He Sen.

A flash of white light abruptly streaked past, and a formidable Transcend Mortality cultivator disappeared without a trace.

So easily, he was taken by Tao Qian.

The Undying Doctor Immortal He Sen!

He had mastered many magical skills and divine powers, but now, facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he didn't even get a chance to resist or cry out before he abruptly vanished.

When this scene unfolded, the atmosphere in the entire Medicine King Temple momentarily stalled.

Then, it completely erupted.

In the area where Tao Qian was, all nearby demons and evil cultivators wished they had an extra leg to flee as quickly as possible.

No one was foolish; such actions by this strange cultivator must have something to rely on.

Whether he could withstand the suppression from the Changchun Society and the two Cavernous Mystery Realm cultivators above mattered not.

Those close to him had to escape immediately to avoid being affected if the young man was attacked.

Before the thousands of spectators, demons, and cultivators could express their shock, the several well-watched Cavernous Mystery Realm cultivators showed surprise on their faces.

Then, they directed their gazes at Tao Qian.

Since Tao Qian had not disturbed Lian Niang's lotus pond, the White Lotus Sect had no significant hostility towards him.

However, the Changchun Society's cultivators were all terrified and furious. The Demon City Giant Merchant and the Xiu Family Elders burst into power, moving to suppress Tao Qian.

"Universe in the Sleeve? From Spirit Treasure Sect?"

"No, do not be mistaken, Mr. Liu. This child used a bag-type magical treasure to take He Sen away."

"It's interesting indeed. Take the kid, and the bag is mine."

"Hold on. The kid first snatched my Golden Tower, so let me capture him."

Perhaps the two Cavernous Mystery Great Cultivators,

completely confident that Tao Qian was just a small Foundation Establishment cultivator relying on an exotic treasure, hadn't immediately made a move against Tao Qian but earnestly argued over the possession of Tao Qian's "Holy Embryo Bag."
