Xuan Chengzi and Mo Xinglu nodded awkwardly. How could they dare to say no?

“Old senior, is there anyone who doesn’t want to be a Birth Chart expert? I’d be lying if I said no. All these years, both our sects have been searching for Birth Chart Beasts. I don’t know why Birth Chart Beasts are so rare,” Xuan Chengzi said.

“Honesty is a virtue. I wouldn’t have liked it if you lied.” Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He looked at the mountain range in the Eastern Forest Mountain before he continued to say, “Since you’re already at the Ten-leaf stage, there’s no need to rush. There are many Birth Chart Beasts. Sooner or later, you’ll be able to capture one.”

Xuan Chengzi nodded. “With senior’s words, I can rest assured.. We want to apologize for our earlier transgression .”

Lu Zhou said, “There’s no need to apologize. Not only am I reasonable, but I’ve always been merciful as well.”

Xuan Chengzi, Mo Xinglu, and Zeng Yan were delighted and bowed to Lu Zhou. As expected of an awe-inspiring Thousand Realms Whirling expert. Such majestic bearing and magnanimity!

At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly sighed. “It would be great if we can find fire spirit stones.”

Everyone knew how rare fire spirit stones were. Even the entire Sky Martial Court only had a few of them.

The trio was stunned as they instinctively looked at the old man in front of them. An air of melancholy and worry, as though he had seen the vicissitudes of life, lingered around him.

Mo Xinglu hesitated for a moment before she gritted her teeth and said, “Senior Lu, if you don’t mind the True Kunlun Sect is willing to offer you a fire spirit stone.”

Upon seeing this, Zeng Yan and Xuan Chengzi hurriedly said, “We’re also willing to offer you a fire spirit stone.”

Lu Zhou looked at Mo Xinglu in surprise. “You have a fire spirit stone?”

Mo Xinglu said, “Over the last 1,000 years, the disciples of the True Kunlun Sect have been searching for Birth Chart Beasts everywhere. They didn’t find Birth Chart Beasts, but they found a fire spirit stone. It’s extremely rare, and one needs three stones for it to be of any use. It’s useless for me to keep this one fire spirit stone so I might as well give it to Senior Lu.”

Zeng Yan and Xuan Chengzi chimed in again. “Sect Master Mo is right! It’s better to give it to Senior Lu!”

Lu Zhou’s expression was extremely kind as he said, “How can that be? How can I just receive without giving? How about this? I’ll give you a life heart in exchange for the fire spirit stone.”

Mo Xinglu shook her head and said with a smile, “No, no, no... I can’t possibly accept the life heart. This is a sincere gift from the True Kunlun Sect to Senior Lu. It wouldn’t feel sincere if I accept something in exchange for it. Moreover, it’s better to leave the life hearts to your disciples. They need it more than I do. There’s still plenty of time in the future for me to look for one. There’s no rush. I’m already grateful that I was fortunate enough to meet Senior Lu.”

Before Mo Xinglu came here, she had already learned that the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion were all Lu Zhou’s people. Apart from a group of experts with profound cultivation bases, they had just gained two new Ten-leaf cultivators. Therefore, she knew Lu Zhou needed the life hearts.

“This...”Lu Zhou hesitated.

“Senior Lu, please accept it!” Mo Xinglu bowed.

Xuan Chengzi and Zeng Yan bowed as well. “Please accept it, senior.”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. “In that case, I’ll accept it. Just send the fire spirit stones to the Sky Martial Court.”

“Thank you, Senior Lu!” Mo Xinglu straightened her back and said, “Then, we won’t disturb you any further. I’ll make sure you receive the fire spirit stone within three days.”

“Thank you.”

“See you in the future.”

The trio looked delighted as they led the thousands of cultivators toward the mountain range in the Eastern Forest Mountain.

Ming Shiyin who was standing in the forest had witnessed the entire thing. He muttered to himself, “As expected, the older, the wiser...”

Clank!

The Overlord Spear fell to the ground, attracting everyone’s attention.

Duanmu Sheng hurriedly picked up before he scratched his head sheepishly. “Master, I’d be embarrassed to stab people with my spear if you handle matters in this manner...”

“The best tactic is to defeat the enemy without force,” Si Wuya said.

Lu Zhou said slightly annoyed, “You talk too much...”

“I know I’m wrong.” Si Wuya bowed.

Lu Zhou turned around to look at Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong who were standing next to the stone forest formation. He asked, “How’s the sprouting of the tenth leaf?”

Yu Zhenghai smiled and manifested his avatar without saying a word.

Buzz!

A 200-foot golden avatar appeared before everyone’s eyes as golden flames surged. Apart from the color not being as vivid, it was rather similar to Lu Zhou’s Ten-leaf avatar.

Everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion looked at the golden avatar enviously. Not only did Yu Zhenghai successfully sprouted the tenth leaf, but he had also gained the karmic fire.

The color of the karmic fire was light. It looked as though a little yellow was mixed into the gold.

At this moment, Yu Zhenghai looked at Yu Shangrong who was standing next to him and said, “Second Junior Brother, I hope you don’t mind this since master wanted to see my avatar.”

Yu Shangrong did not pay attention to Yu Zhenghai. He only cupped his fists together at his master and said, “Master, I was lucky enough to successfully sprout the tenth leaf.” He seemed much more relaxed compared to Yu Zhenghai.

Buzz!

Another golden avatar appeared.

Everyone looked at Yu Shangrong.

The four elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion walked closer, curious.

“Mister First...”

“Hmm?”

“Sorry, excuse me.” Pan Litian, Leng Luo, Zuo Yushu, and Hua Wudao walked past Yu Zhenghai one after another.

Yu Zhenghai. “???”

Only Ming Shiyin rode Qiong Qi to Yu Zhenghai’s side and said ingratiatingly, “Eldest Senior Brother, I’m here to look at your avatar...”

“Get out of my way,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“Okay, Eldest Senior Brother. How would you like me to get out of your way? Should I roll away? Do you want me to somersault away? Do you prefer a front somersault or a back somersault? I can even do a horizontal somersault...” Mingshi Yin said as he stood on Qiong Qi’s back.

Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

“...”

Yu Zhenghai clearly had a Ten-leaf avatar with karmic fire. Why did it feel so worthless at this moment? He shook his head and moved closer to have a look as well. Was an avatar with a lotus so interesting?

After the four elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion carefully observed the changes in the avatar, Pan Litian exclaimed, “So it looks like this at the Ten-leaf stage!”

“It looks much more human without the golden lotus,” Zuo Yushu said with bright eyes.

Ten golden leaves revolved around the golden avatar. It was much more comfortable to look at compared to an avatar with a lotus.

Perhaps, the four elders were also in the same boat as Yu Shangrong, they kept looking at his avatar and did not pay attention to Yu Zhenghai’s karmic fire avatar at all.

Under normal circumstances, Yu Shangrong would not put his avatar on display for everyone to see. However, his master had ordered him to stand aside. Therefore, he only stood at the side with his arms crossed as he looked into the distance with an indifferent expression on his face.

After a moment, Leng Luo asked, “Without the lotus, there’ll be no Birth Palace. How can he activate his Birth Chart then?”

Everyone looked at Leng Luo. Why did this old man suddenly put his foot in his mouth?

Alas, Leng Luo could not take back what he said.

Little Yuan’er skipped to Yu Shangrong’s side and said with a smile, “Second Senior Brother, it’s okay! Even without activating your Birth Chart, I believe you can kill all those Thousand Realms Whirling experts!”

Yu Shangrong raised his hand and patted Little Yuan’er’s head before he said, “Little Junior Sister, it seems like you know me best.”

At this moment, Conch walked over and said, “Second Senior Brother, I’m the Little Junior Sister now. I heard you were the first to sever the lotus back then. For this reason alone, you’re the strongest!”

Yu Shangrong smiled indifferently. “I’ll remember what Little Junior Sister said. With your words, it doesn’t matter even if I can’t enter the Thousand Realms Whirling. Nevertheless, the road of cultivation is long so I won’t give up easily...”

Yu Zhenghai. “...”

‘Forget it. I’m the eldest so I should give in sometimes.’

After that, Yu Zhenghai obediently withdrew his avatar.

At this moment, Si Wuya said, “Since we have three life hearts, why don’t we let Second Senior Brother try activating his Birth Chart?”

Everyone, including Yu Shangrong, turned to look at Si Wuya.

After a moment, Yu Shangrong turned to look at his master.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he studied the lotus-less golden avatar. Then, he extended his hand and said, “Life hearts...”

Yu Zhenghai handed the two Shan Gao and Xi Qu’s life hearts to Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou selected Xi Qu’s life heart and said, “Let’s try this first.”

“Understood.”
