Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
Lin Qi loosened his lips, already prepared to let the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor come out and entertain a guest.
There was nothing to be done about it. Daoist Zhong had simply given far too much.
As the saying goes, when gifts are sent down to a man, he must have a favor to ask.
There was also a common saying: when someone fawns without reason, they are either a traitor or a thief.
With Daoist Zhong treating them so lavishly, Lin Qi found it hard not to suspect he had ulterior motives.
Better to simply go along with Daoist Zhong’s intent and call out the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor.
Let’s see just what medicine Daoist Zhong is selling in that gourd of his.
Yet what Lin Qi never imagined was this.
Daoist Zhong, who had just been speaking of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor at every turn, wearing the look of one who had admired him for ages and only sought a single meeting, changed his tune upon hearing those words.
Instead, he smiled without quite smiling.
“I see no need for that.”
“After all, the Primordial Heavenly Emperor has important matters at hand. This poor Daoist should not force it.”
“Come, let us drink.”
Saying this, Daoist Zhong gave Lin Qi no chance to respond and rang the bell once more.
The Puppet Fairy went to cut down a gourd, then filled the cups of all three to the brim.
It was rare nectar and jade liquor as well.
Not much inferior to the legendary celestial jade liquor of the Heavenly Court in the Peach Banquet.
Lin Qi and the Peerless Young Master downed a cup.
Immediately, in a hazy, tipsy state, the Great Dao manifested of itself, murmuring in their ears.
Expounding the profundity and wonder of the Great Dao.
After three rounds of wine in this manner.
Daoist Zhong rang the bell one final time.
The Puppet Fairy then cut down the last gourd from the Purple-Gold Gourd Vine.
The gourd tipped over, and this time what poured out were three round, golden Golden Cores.
Daoist Zhong smiled and swallowed one, then spoke to Lin Qi and the Peerless Young Master, who were still somewhat hesitant.
“Fellow Daoists.”
“This is a Dao-Merging Golden Core this poor Daoist created on a sudden inspiration.”
“Even more wondrous and peerless than the legendary Nine-Turn Golden Core.”
“Within it lies the Creation of the Great Dao, the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao.”
“After consuming it, one can briefly experience the beauty and wonder of merging with the Dao.”
“Fellow Daoists, do not miss this.”
“Is it really that incredible? This Young Master will try it first.”
The Peerless Young Master was eager to give it a try.
He had seen through it now.
Perhaps Lin Qi had simply been overthinking things.
This Daoist Zhong was purely a nouveau riche.
No other intentions at all. He was simply flaunting his wealth in front of them.
Of course, it was also possible he had misjudged.
But who cared.
A bastard is one who doesn’t take advantage of a bargain.
The Peerless Young Master feared nothing in heaven or earth. He grabbed the Dao-Merging Golden Core that Daoist Zhong had spoken of.
He gulped it down whole, like Bajie devouring a ginseng fruit.
