Xu Changshou was listening to the sermon in a daze when, without realizing it, he suddenly felt a sinister gaze staring at him from behind. Yes, that feeling was back again.

Xu Changshou turned around again and saw a kind-faced young man in white looking at him.

Seeing him turn around, the young man in white nodded slightly to him again.

Xu Changshou smiled and nodded, but he was extremely vigilant. This young man in white was definitely suspicious.

At this moment, the young man in white stood up, walked over, sat cross-legged next to Xu Changshou, and then asked, "How should I address this fellow Daoist?"

Xu Changshou cupped his hands slightly and said, "This humble Taoist is Xu Changshou."

The young man in white smiled warmly, but his smiling face always made Xu Changshou feel uneasy.

He suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu about the young man in white, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.

"My name is Xiao Changsheng. Fellow Daoist Xu, I feel we have a strong connection. How about we become friends?" the white-robed youth said with a warm smile.

"Um... okay!"

Xu Changshou nodded expressionlessly, then took a closer look at Xiao Changsheng, whose cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

His cultivation level was only one realm higher than Xu Changshou's, and Xu Changshou was not afraid of cultivators at this level.

The same applies to this person; although Xu Changshou was wary of him, he was not afraid.

Xu Changshou could usually handle ordinary mid-stage Void Refinement opponents, and even if he couldn't defeat them, he was confident he could escape.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, how long have you been a disciple?" Xiao Changsheng asked casually.

Xu Changshou laughed and said, "It's been five hundred years since I entered the sect."

Xiao Changsheng laughed and said, "I have been a disciple for six hundred years. I started my discipleship earlier than you and my cultivation level is higher than yours. You don't mind if I call you Junior Brother Xu, do you?"

Xu Changshou nodded: "That's how it should be."

Xiao Changsheng asked with a smile, "Junior Brother Xu, who is your master?"

Xu Changshou shook his head and said, "I have no master; I am just a menial disciple of the Sima Supervisor."

"Oh!"

Xiao Changsheng said "Oh," and then said, "My master is Venerable Hongwu."

"Disrespect, disrespect."

After chatting for a while, the two stopped talking and began to listen attentively to the person above them.

Soon, the day was over, and the sermon ended.

Venerable Red Lotus glanced at Xu Ye and instructed, "Xu Ye, arrange for the Venerables to go to their guest rooms."

"Yes!"

Xu Ye clasped his hands in a fist salute and secretly winked at Xu Changshou, implying that there was an opportunity to make contact with Venerable Guye.

Xu Ye arranged accommodations for these venerable ones, and during this time, there would certainly be opportunities to speak privately with Venerable Guye.

"Junior Brother Changshou, come with me!"

Xu Ye gave Xu Changshou a look, signaling Xu Changshou to follow him.

Xu Changshou and Xu Ye arrived at the platform above. Xu Ye respectfully cupped his hands to the seven Venerables and said, "Seven Uncles, please follow me."

"Lead the way."

Xu Ye led the group toward a luxurious courtyard, which contained many private rooms.

Under Xu Ye's arrangement, the Venerable Ones all moved into their own single rooms.

When arranging the rooms, Xu Ye deliberately placed Venerable Guye last.

Finally, Xu Ye, Xu Changshou, and Gu Ye Venerable entered the room together.

After entering the room, Xu Ye closed the door and then cupped his hands to Venerable Guye, saying, "Disciple Xu Ye begs Venerable Guye to refine a batch of pills for my brother."

Venerable Guye seemed to be used to such things, but he frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Xu Changshou, and asked, "What kind of pill do you want to refine?"

Xu Changshou respectfully said, "This disciple wishes to refine a Grade 7 Breakthrough Pill."

Venerable Guye frowned and said, "This... a seventh-grade breakthrough pill is quite valuable."

Xu Changshou hurriedly took a storage bag from his waist, presented it to Venerable Guye with both hands, and said respectfully, "This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Uncle Guye."

Inside this storage bag were ten billion high-grade spirit stones that Xu Changshou had prepared long ago.

Gu Ye glanced at Xu Changshou, smiled and stroked his beard, but didn't say anything or take Xu Changshou's storage bag.

Xu Ye quickly said, "Uncle Guye, Xu Changshou is my brother who has risked his life for me. We have been friends for over a thousand years. I promised him that I would ask you for a batch of Breakthrough Pills no matter what."

"You brat, that's enough!"

Venerable Guye then took the storage bag, glanced at it, and immediately showed a look of joy.

After glancing at Xu Changshou, Venerable Guye smiled and said, "Come to my temple to collect the pill in ten days."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Guye."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Guye."

"Go!"

"Disciple retire!"

Venerable Guye waved his hand, and Xu Changshou and Xu Ye left Venerable Guye's room.

At this moment, Xu Changshou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since Venerable Guye had accepted his money, the Breakthrough Pill was almost certainly his.

After arranging accommodations for the Venerable Ones, Xu Ye then arranged rooms for their disciples as well, including Xu Changshou.

late at night.

beep...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Xu Changshou frowned, not expecting anyone to contact him in the middle of the night.

"Junior Brother Xu, are you there? This is Xiao Changsheng!"

"Xiao Changsheng..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Changshou's heart skipped a beat. Why was Xiao Changsheng looking for him in the middle of the night?

Suddenly, Xu Changshou had a bad feeling.

"Junior Brother Xu, I need to talk to you. Please open the door."

"Senior Brother Xiao, it's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"hehe!"

Xiao Changsheng's gentle laughter came from outside: "Junior Brother Xu, open the door quickly, I have something important to discuss with you."

"Easy to handle!"

Xu Changshou remained secretly vigilant and quietly opened the door.

After entering the room, Xiao Changsheng closed the door behind him and then set up a soundproof enclosure in the room.

"Senior Brother Xiao, what's the matter?" Xu Changshou asked with a frown.

In the darkness, Xiao Changsheng gave a cold laugh and said, "Kid, you're really lucky. Not only did you survive, but you also broke through to the Void Refinement Realm."

Xiao Changsheng's words startled Xu Changshou, who instinctively asked, "Who are you?"

"Kid, I told you I'd come looking for you again. Heh heh, I didn't expect you'd actually deliver yourself to my doorstep," Xiao Changsheng said sinisterly.

"You, you are Liu Aiguo!"

At this moment, Xu Changshou realized who Xiao Changsheng was.

Back when they stole the 100,000-year-old locust tree, there was a demon inside the tree that called itself Liu Aiguo, and it almost possessed them.

The demon from back then was not a physical entity, but Xiao Changsheng is now a person of flesh and blood.

This can only mean one thing: Xiao Changsheng has been possessed by Liu Aiguo.

The fact that Liu Aiguo was able to possess Xiao Changsheng's body and then use Xiao Changsheng's identity to enter the Donghua Immortal Sect shows that this demon's abilities are extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Xu Changshou said, "Liu Aiguo, you already have a physical body, why are you still looking for me?"

Liu Aiguo sneered and said, "Boy, you have a spatial treasure. Offer it to me, and I'll spare your life!"

"you wanna die!"

A murderous glint flashed in Xu Changshou's eyes. The Bloodline Jade Talisman was his greatest secret, and he never expected that Liu Aiguo would actually detect it.

Who exactly is this Liu Aiguo?
