Shen Yuan Ring

While Wu De was still in a daze, Ji Daoyi had already gone downstairs like an arrow released from a bow!

He slapped himself in frustration, cursing inwardly, "Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed! I can't beat you in a fight, and I can't win an argument with you!"

"Hey, wait for me! We can talk this over!" Seeing that Ji Daoyi's figure had disappeared without a trace, Wu De hurriedly chased after him downstairs like a wild rabbit!

Wu De clung to Ji Daoyi like a lapdog, chattering on and on, asking him all sorts of questions.

One second he was locked in a fierce battle with Ji Daoyi, but seeing that he couldn't win, he immediately switched to a fawning attitude and shamelessly tried to get to know him.

Ji Daoyi stopped in his tracks, unable to bear it any longer, and angrily scolded Wu De: "How can you be so shameless? Don't stick to me like a leech! Don't forget that you were just fighting with me for the cultivation technique, and we've only just met, we're not even that close yet."

Wu De, however, didn't take it to heart and said with a grin, "How can you say we're not familiar? We just had a very pleasant conversation! Besides, didn't I just give you that scripture?"

Ji Daoyi: "..."

"Why don't we split the search and explore this site together? I've done some research on the Lotus Sect, and we're sure to come back with a lot of information. Besides, I also know that the Lotus Sect has a treasure trove. Once we find it, we won't have to worry about cultivation resources anymore."

"A treasure vault? And they even invited me out of the blue? There must be something fishy going on here!"

"How could that be? We're like brothers! Besides, I've always been honest and straightforward, and I'd go to great lengths for my brothers. If you don't believe me, we can immediately become sworn brothers, I..."

Ji Daoyi felt that Wu De was becoming increasingly absurd. When did they become brothers?

This uninvited guest must have ulterior motives!

Although it is said that one should not hit a smiling face, how could Ji Daoyi easily trust a stranger he had only known for half a day?

His face darkened, and he abruptly interrupted Wu De's incessant chatter.

"Stop! Speak like a human being! Otherwise, I don't mind continuing the fight we just had."

Seeing that Ji Daoyi wasn't buying it, Wu De could only chuckle awkwardly, like a child whose lie had been exposed, and honestly said, "The treasure vault's guard mechanisms may still exist, and I might not be able to handle it alone!"

Ji Daoyi was well aware of Wu De's ulterior motives. He had no intention of exploring the ruins with Wu De, so he went straight to the point, hoping to discourage Wu De.

"You're not saying you can't handle it? You just don't trust me! You're afraid I'll pull a fast one on you!"

"That's why we're brothers! You know exactly what I'm thinking. You still say we're not close? Look, aren't we best friends?"

Wu De did not show any embarrassment at being seen through by Ji Daoyi. Instead, like a monkey climbing a vine, he seized the opportunity to grab Ji Daoyi's words!

Ji Daoyi was truly exasperated by his thick skin!

He was filled with remorse at this moment, secretly thinking to himself that if he had known this would happen, he should have used all his strength from the beginning and put Wu De to death.

"How about it? Should we..."

"Wait a minute! You shameless fatso, you say we know each other? Then call me 'Brother Dao' a couple of times and I might just agree!"

"Shameless...fatso..." Upon hearing this, Wu De was instantly enraged, as if the word "shameless" was his Achilles' heel.

His face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water; he hated being called immoral!

He may be overweight, but he is by no means a morally corrupt person!

"Shut up! My name is Wu De, not because I'm immoral. If you call me that again, I'll lose my temper!"

Ji Daoyi retorted without backing down, saying that his most urgent wish at the moment was to reunite with Yueya. As soon as they entered the secret realm, he and Yueya split up into two groups!

"You go your way, I'll go mine, that way we won't hear each other!"

He had previously thought that no one else would appear and there would be no danger, but Wu De's arrival made him a little wary, fearing that Yueya might encounter misfortune.

"You must come with me. If you can't trust me, how can I trust you? Otherwise, even if I have to give up the search for the treasure, I will follow you like a shadow, so that you can't do anything else!"

Although Ji Daoyi had a slight advantage in the previous battle with Wu De, he had not caused any substantial damage to Wu De. Ji Daoyi estimated that they were evenly matched.

After all, they didn't know each other very well, and neither of them had used any powerful elemental techniques in their previous exchange, let alone their trump cards!

Ji Daoyi was silent for a moment, then said, "Cooperation is feasible. We'll split the profits 60/40, I get 60% and you get 40%!"

Wu De said unhappily, "Why should you get 60% while I only get 40%! Besides, I'm the one who brought you this news, so it's only right that I get 60%."

Ji Daoyi replied matter-of-factly, "Because my strength is superior to yours!"

"You only had a slight advantage just now. If I were to use my trump card, you might not be able to defeat me. At most, we would both be injured!"

"What if I had another helper?"

"What? You had accomplices!"

"Exactly, who still goes it alone these days!"

Then, seeing Wu De remain silent, Ji Dao circled Wu De twice and said, "No way! No way! You're all alone, an orphan? Tsk tsk tsk."

Faced with Ji Daoyi's mockery, Wu De quickly adjusted his mindset and retorted, "What's wrong with being alone? You can go wherever you want and be free to come and go. But even if you have companions, I can only split the profits 50/50 with you. You and he can both be considered as one person."

"No problem, deal! But I need to meet with it first, and then we'll search for that treasure vault."

“Of course, one more person means one more force! Anyway, you only count as one person, so I’m not losing out.” Wu De wasn’t afraid because Ji Daoyi had an extra partner; clearly, he didn’t think Ji Daoyi and his companions posed a threat to him.

Ji Daoyi also sensed confidence in Wu De's words, confidence stemming from his own abilities.

However, Ji Daoyi did not intend to fight Wu De together with Yueya; he simply wanted to join forces with it.

A quarter of an hour,

Ji Daoyi found Yueya by relying on the power of his contract with Yueya.

Originally, it was thought that Crescent Moon would encounter some danger, but unexpectedly it had successfully intimidated the other demon beasts with its own bloodline power, and it was scolding its underlings in the manner of a demon beast king.

Not far away, Wu De and Ji Daoyi were waiting on a small hill.

"This is the companion you mentioned?" The moment Wu De saw Crescent Moon, he felt like strangling Ji Daoyi. He had thought Crescent Moon was a human, but he never expected that Crescent Moon was just one of his contracted demon beasts.
