Stronger by Killing

Gu Zhan couldn’t tell how many people were secretly transmitting messages, but he could clearly feel that Huang Longzi and the others’ attitudes suddenly became even more humble.

"Fellow Daoist," Huang Longzi smiled slightly and said, "I have truly offended you, I hope you can forgive me!"

With that, Huang Longzi gently waved his hand,

In an instant, a wave of magical power surged, and a stone table along with several stools appeared beside them, made from materials Gu Zhan had never seen before.

Huang Longzi lightly flipped his palm, and a purple teapot along with several teacups appeared on the stone table.

This time, Gu Zhan saw clearly,

The teapot and teacups actually emerged from the ring on Huang Longzi’s hand, and in that instant, Gu Zhan faintly sensed a trace of spatial fluctuation.

"Spatial Ring? Sumeru Mustard Seed? Spatial Bag?"

In that moment,

Several thoughts popped into Gu Zhan’s mind.

This scenario was too familiar.

"Please have a seat, Fellow Daoist!"

Huang Longzi courteously invited Gu Zhan to sit down, and then carefully poured the tea, as if afraid to spill a drop.

"This is Celestial River Tea, passed down from our Celestial Star Cave’s treasure tree. Only one leaf is produced each year. This pot of tea took me a hundred years to gather, and I am usually reluctant to use it. Today, having the fortune of meeting you, Fellow Daoist, please taste it!"

Gu Zhan could clearly sense Huang Longzi’s heartache.

And Cangsong Zi and Qingyuzi’s eyes were full of excitement. When Huang Longzi poured them each a cup of tea, they couldn’t wait to drink it, and Huang Longzi also poured himself a cup and tasted it.

Gu Zhan used his Divine Thought to sense, not detecting any issues, but he still did not drink, because the methods of the Cultivation Realm were too mystical for him to be sure whether the other party would trick him with the tea.

However, upon sensing,

No wonder Huang Longzi and the others attached such importance to this tea; the Spiritual Power contained within was very abundant.

Huang Longzi saw Gu Zhan hadn’t moved and said, "Fellow Daoist, this Celestial River Tea is quite unusual, a rare treasure in the world. Just one cup can equal ten years of hard cultivation for an ordinary cultivator. Most importantly, this tea contains Dao Charm, which can enhance one’s comprehension, and consuming it for the first time might even lead to enlightenment."

Gu Zhan chuckled slightly, dismissively saying, "Do you think I lack such things?"

Huang Longzi’s face stiffened, and he awkwardly smiled, saying, "I indeed didn’t consider thoroughly. Since Fellow Daoist hails from one of the Three Major Ancestral Veins of the Northern Wilderness, the Buddhist Sect, you naturally don’t lack these things. However, our Celestial Star Cave was just a third-rate sect even before the End of the Dharma Era, and this tea is our most precious item. Presenting this is to express our sincere apology to Fellow Daoist. For crossing your boundary, we have offended you, and hope you can forgive us."

Qingyuzi hurriedly chimed in from the side, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Gu, this matter is truly an unintentional mishap from our sect. If we had known it was the Buddhist Sect’s territory, how would we dare to preach here? Fellow Daoist Gu, though the Spiritual Qi Revival has just begun, I suppose not many people from the Buddhist Sect will be dispatched. Although our Celestial Star Cave is a small sect, we do have some people, and if Fellow Daoist needs assistance, you can speak up. Now that the Spiritual Qi Revival has just started, we can more or less lend a hand!"

Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You think you can do what even the Buddhist Sect can’t?"

Huang Longzi quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, our Celestial Star Cave’s strength is naturally insignificant compared to the Buddhist Sect, but all three of us are Golden Core Cultivators, and we should be able to offer some help!"

"Golden Core Realm!"

Gu Zhan chuckled slightly. Huang Longzi and the others were also somewhat provoked by his aggressive demeanor, not daring to offend the Buddhist Sect, but seeing that he was not easily appeased, they resorted to the most common means in cultivation—speaking with strength.

Huang Longzi intentionally revealed their cultivation as Golden Core to gently remind Gu Zhan not to be overly demanding.

Such matters are common in the Martial World, where conflicts between certain strengths often require showing some muscle when peaceful resolutions fail.

However, this suited Gu Zhan’s intention,

He was very unfamiliar with the Cultivation Realm, just like the few people in front of him, he couldn’t quite gauge them, so he borrowed the Buddhist Sect’s name to suppress them. Now knowing they were Golden Core Cultivators, he was still uncertain, having never faced such strength.

Nonetheless, according to the martial arts system simulated by the system, his current Nirvana Realm cultivation corresponds to the Golden Core Realm of this cultivation system.

And now, he could utilize the identity of the Buddhist Sect to test the Golden Core Realm’s power.

Gu Zhan immediately stood up and said, "Due to the Dharma-ending era, I have practiced up till now and have never sparred with anyone outside my sect. Fellow Daoist Huang Longzi, since you possess Golden Core cultivation, why not spar with me, stopping at the right point!"

"Spar, this..."

Huang Longzi hesitated, unable to figure out Gu Zhan’s intention; after all, the other party was an important piece placed by the Buddhist Sect in the mortal world for the Spiritual Qi Revival. If he truly affected the Buddhist Sect’s plans, with their immense influence, he would have nowhere to escape.

Gu Zhan calmly said, "I mean no other intentions; sometimes I need to report back to my sect. So, Fellow Daoist Huang Longzi, I hope you understand what I mean?"

Huang Longzi instantly felt relieved. Listening to Gu Zhan’s words, it seemed he wasn’t persistent but simply wanted a spar to report back.
