Chapter 870 Free Labor? The Three Saints were both amused and exasperated!
Biyou Palace was deathly silent.
The magnanimous smile on the face of the Tongtian Cult Leader froze completely.
Even Nuwa's stunningly beautiful face froze for a moment.
Houtu, holding the Chaos Pearl, was stuck, unsure whether to advance or retreat, completely frozen in place.
The three Primordial Saints looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely awkward.
What the hell?
Unsuitable for brewing?
don't want?
The Tongtian Sect Leader's lips twitched violently.
Listen!
Is this even human language?!
That's a Chaos Pearl!
Chaos Treasure!
An unparalleled treasure that existed before the creation of the world!
Let alone him, even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun would be envious and eager to possess this item!
In other words, if this thing were to fall into the outside world, countless cultivators in the world would inevitably fight to the death over it.
When it comes to you, the only evaluation criterion is whether or not you can brew wine?
And he still looks disgusted?
The Master of Heaven felt like he was about to go numb.
Completely numb.
Spending too much time with this disciple, he felt that his Dao heart would eventually be cracked.
Houtu was the first to come to her senses.
She gave a bitter smile, pushed the Chaos Pearl forward again, her attitude resolute.
“Fellow Daoist Changqing, this item is far too valuable. Since it is your spoils of war, how could I possibly accept it?”
Her words were sincere, not just polite.
This is a supreme treasure of chaos, and the karma involved is immense. She felt uneasy accepting such a great gift for no reason.
however.
Gu Changqing remained in that listless, half-dead state, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.
He was just resting his head on his arm, heavily intoxicated, and mumbled something indistinctly.
"Uh……"
"Fellow Daoist Houtu... Your cultivation is unparalleled throughout history, and your power is unmatched..."
"If one were to use... one's own power to refine this treasure and break down the restrictions within... it would likely be twice as effective with half the effort..."
The sound was intermittent, as if the person was about to fall asleep.
But these words, when they fell into the ears of Tongtian, Nuwa, and Houtu, were no less than a thunderclap!
hum!
A flash of inspiration struck the three sages simultaneously, and they instantly understood what was happening.
The three of them turned their heads almost simultaneously, exchanged glances, and saw a hint of realization, as well as... a strange expression that was both funny and exasperating, in each other's reactions.
Ok!
So they've been waiting here all along!
They finally understood what Gu Changqing was up to!
Not bad.
Gu Changqing's combat strength is indeed terrifying and unbelievable.
He even mastered the heaven-defying inheritance of the Three Forms of Creation, which could even suppress the Chaos Ancestor head-on.
However, when it comes to his own cultivation level, he is ultimately no match for Houtu, a Daoist saint who has already attained enlightenment many years ago.
The Chaos Pearl, a supreme treasure, contains forty-nine innate restrictions. To completely refine and master it would require an enormous amount of magical power and an unimaginably long period of time.
This is a slow and meticulous process.
Even a sage would have to expend countless lifetimes to achieve complete success.
As for Gu Changqing...
Looking at the guy lying on the cloud bed, who seemed too tired to even move, the three of them simultaneously had the same thought.
Would he be willing to spend that time?
Would he be willing to go through that trouble?
All this kid does is drink.
In his eyes, refining a supreme treasure was perhaps just a waste of time, or rather, a delay in his drinking.
The answer is self-evident.
This kid is clearly just too lazy to do the refining himself because he finds it troublesome!
That's why he "generously" gave the Chaos Pearl to Houtu!
They call it "returning things to their rightful owner," but in reality, they're just using Houtu (the Earth Goddess) as a free laborer!
Let Houtu, who has the highest cultivation level, gnaw on this toughest bone for him and refine that incomparably complex innate restriction!
Having figured this out, the expressions on Tongtian and Nuwa's faces when they looked at Gu Changqing were beyond strange.
It was a complex mix of shock, speechlessness, admiration, and a slight urge to laugh.
It's truly a situation where you can't help but laugh, yet you also don't know whether to laugh or cry!
I've seen lazy people, but I've never seen anyone this lazy!
I've seen people who are good at scheming, but I've never seen anyone this scheming!
How could a dignified master, a sage of primordial chaos, be so easily turned into free labor?
Under heaven, besides Gu Changqing, there is probably no other person like him!
There will never be another person so audacious.
Houtu herself was stunned and speechless for a long time.
She looked at the Chaos Pearl radiating supreme power before her, then at the man in the distance who was almost asleep. For a moment, she didn't know whether to be angry or amused.
This guy……
They really do...never suffer any loss.
The Master of Heaven covered his face, feeling he couldn't bear to look.
Shame!
What a shame!
How could his Jie Sect produce such a thing!
Nuwa covered her mouth and chuckled, displaying her graceful demeanor, clearly amused by Gu Changqing's divine actions.
Fortunately, this scene was not witnessed by the disciples of the Jie Sect.
Otherwise, how could my own senior brother (junior brother) treat the dignified Sage Houtu as a free laborer?
That would absolutely shock countless people.
It has to be said that Gu Changqing's every move and word is something no one could have imagined.
In this weird atmosphere.
Gu Changqing seemed to find them too noisy, and impatiently turned over, turning his back to everyone.
"That's enough... I... need to sleep..."
"Don't make a sound..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft snore began to sound.
He had his eyes closed, reeking of alcohol, and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Tongtian: "..."
Nuwa: "..."
Houtu: "..."
The three sages looked at each other in bewilderment. In the end, Houtu sighed softly, waved her jade hand, and put away the Chaos Pearl.
She watched Gu Changqing's retreating figure with a complicated expression.
"That's fine."
"Then... thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Changqing."
That "thank you" was spoken with profound meaning.
Not bad!
If it were anyone else, Houtu would have been furious and might have even slapped them to death.
But even knowing Gu Changqing's intentions, Houtu still agreed.
Even if Houtu were to completely refine the Chaos Pearl and return it to Gu Changqing, she probably wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
It is easy to imagine what kind of feelings and attitude Houtu has had towards Gu Changqing over the countless years.
Of course, refining the Chaos Pearl would also bring unimaginable benefits to Houtu herself.
In conclusion, Gu Changqing's actions were not entirely due to laziness.
The Master of the Heavenly Sect let out a long breath, feeling utterly exhausted.
Looking at his beloved disciple, he suddenly felt that the future of the Jie Sect seemed to be filled with some kind of... indescribable variables.
