Chapter 434
: Shui Lao's Conspiracy
Everyone in the field immediately turned their attention to him.
"Then I won't be polite."
Long Xuan straightened his clothes and walked onto the stage with a smile on his face. With a clear goal in mind, he went straight to the coffee tree and took it away amid the surprised and puzzled gazes of everyone.
"This……"
“My friend, this tree seems to contain the spiritual power of a heavenly-grade elixir, but it has no effect and its value is far from the highest among all the treasures.”
"Why don't you look at something else?" Chashan looked puzzled and advised kindly.
"No! I'll choose this tree."
After that, Long Xuan said no more and slowly walked off the stage.
Seeing him choose this tree, the people at the bottom of the ranking breathed a sigh of relief even though they were confused. This person chose the most useless treasure, so wouldn't the more valuable treasures be cheap for them? They were just asking for it.
"Why did you choose this tree? In my opinion, this tree is the least valuable of all the treasures here. It's really a waste of your first chance to choose a treasure."
As soon as Long Xuan came down, Shui Lao couldn't wait to ask through soul transmission.
"I have my own uses. As for what I need the water for, there is no need to ask." Long Xuan answered simply without saying anything more.
Shui Lao seemed to be thinking about something. He certainly knew that this tree would be of great use to Long Xuan, otherwise only a fool would want this thing.
However, he ignored all the treasures and chose this tree instead. This is enough to show that the value of this tree in his heart exceeds that of all the treasures.
Shui Lao couldn't help but wonder, has he discovered the function of this tree? Once the function of this tree is discovered, it will be a genuine heavenly spiritual medicine.
"You should be careful next time. Although you didn't keep the Heavenly Water on you, you used it to make tea, and Shui Wuqing sensed it."
"Let's not have any contact from now on, so that he won't guess my identity." Shui Lao sent a soul message again.
"I know, I'll be careful."
Long Xuan glanced at someone out of the corner of his eye and became alert.
In the God Realm of the River God, both the Gu King and the Gu Insect will fall to the Spirit Sea stage. In such a situation, the only thing that the Gu King has over the Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators is rich combat experience and a powerful soul.
In this situation, Long Xuan was so confident that he didn't need to be afraid of Shui Wuqing. Even if he couldn't defeat him, he could at least protect himself.
Once we join forces with Shui Lao, this battle is almost certain to be won.
What really worried him was that after killing Shui Wuqing, the binary heavy water left behind by Shui Wuqing would belong to him or Shui Lao.
What he was really worried about was whether Mr. Shui had any ideas about the binary heavy water, and whether there would be an uneven division of the spoils between the two of them after Shui Wuqing was killed.
Although the two had always had a good relationship, like a close friend regardless of age, he never believed in this Shui Lao from the beginning to the end. The reason why Shui Lao generously gave Tianshui to him was because he could not suppress Tianshui with his previous strength.
After rebuilding his body, Shui Lao was just a small Gu cultivator in the early stage of gathering spirits. Even if he had extraordinary means, he could not control the water in the sky.
But what will happen when he regains his Gu King status? Will he take Tianshui back? Will he really be willing to give up such a heaven-defying treasure?
"Humph! He'd better not have any evil ideas. Does he really think that he will be fine as long as he doesn't eat the pills he made?"
Long Xuan found a secluded place to sit down and waited for the tea ceremony to begin.
……
Meanwhile on the other side.
"Ancestor, aren't you and that man a close friend regardless of age difference? It is enough for you to join forces with him to deal with Shui Wuqing. Why do you need to find a junior?" Shui Juanyun frowned and looked at the old man beside him, and spoke through soul transmission.
"You and I are from the same tribe. It would be fine if I didn't see you, but now that I have seen you, it's not as safe to cooperate with an outsider as it is with someone from the same tribe."
"What's more, he has one-element heavy water and wants to get his hands on two-element heavy water. We are destined not to be able to cooperate together."
"One Yuan Heavy Water is the holy water that my clan has guarded for generations. Even if I have a good relationship with him, I cannot let the holy water of my clan flow out. Otherwise, I, Shui Wuque, will really become a sinner of my family."
Hearing this, Shui Juanyun was shocked and asked quickly, "Grandmaster, have you already given him the one-yuan heavy water?"
"How can this be possible? If I were him, I would definitely kill you. I can't guarantee that you won't take Tianshui back after you recover to the Gu King realm."
"Humph!" Shui Lao snorted coldly, "Kill me? He never had a chance from the beginning to the end."
"Before I escape, even if I can't defeat him, I can explode the Tianshui and die with him."
"Then I gave him Tianshui. Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"When I recovered my physical body, I was already at the initial stage of gathering spirits. After he subdued Tianshui, he could easily kill me to eliminate future troubles. How could I not be on guard against this move?"
"I've already died once, so why would I gamble on a person's character in the face of life and death?"
"To be honest, I helped him conquer Tianshui for two reasons."
"First, it was for self-protection. When I was helping him to subdue Tianshui, I tampered with Tianshui so that I could make Tianshui lose control in his body at any time."
"If he has any idea of harming me, I guarantee that he will be the first to die."
"Secondly, he wanted to trick Shui Wuqing. After Shui Wuqing knew that he had one yuan of heavy water on him, he would definitely kill him and take the one yuan of heavy water."
"Once Shui Wuqing takes away the one-yuan heavy water that I have tampered with, he will surely die whether he tries to subdue it or carries it on his body."
"This plan can kill two birds with one stone."
"But this boy is very cunning. I don't know if he has figured out my plot. He has always kept Tianshui on his clone."
"If Tianshui loses control, the only one that will die is his clone, and his original body will be in no danger."
"If this guy insists on attacking me even at the cost of the death of one of his clones, I really can't guarantee that I can defeat him."
"So I have to join forces with you. You are a rare genius in my clan. If you and I join forces, it will be enough to kill him or Shui Wuqing."
"As long as it succeeds, you can return to the family, and I will help you become the head of the family."
Shui Juanyun's eyes flickered, revealing an intention. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "What do you want me to do?"
Shui Lao smiled and said, "I invited you to come with us two on the grounds that you are from the same tribe as me. The purpose is to bring you closer to him, and it would be best if you could become friends with him."
"My plan has been successful so far. After spending many days together, you and he now have a very good relationship."
"Even if he doesn't trust you 100%, his guard against you must be very low. If you launch a sneak attack on him, you will definitely gain something."
"Maybe you won't have to do anything. He might die at the hands of Shui Wuqing first."
"We'll wait until we get to the God of the River's Mystery and then make a decision based on the situation."
The two of them were conspiring in secret, but Shui Lao had no idea that Long Xuan and Shui Juanyun had a feud, so how could Long Xuan trust him? Shui Lao's hidden card would eventually fail. (End of this chapter)
