Wu Gu Shangren felt a pang of pain in his heart, but the person in front of him was unfathomable, and the allure of the White Cloud Magic Artifact was too great. After some bargaining, Lin Yi reduced the quantity to two plants, and Wu Gu Shangren finally agreed.
Lin Yi planted the two complete Nine Heavens Golden Lotuses in the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle. Although the Small Universe Realm has a vast space, the spiritual energy is insufficient and it is not yet able to sustain this precious spiritual herb.
On the contrary, because of the existence of the Yin-Yang Creation Pool, the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, making the bottle full of spiritual energy and the environment better.
The transaction concluded successfully, with both sides gaining something, and on the surface, everything seemed amicable.
"I wonder where Fellow Daoist Lin is staying, and which country is supporting him?" Venerable Wugu suddenly asked.
Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "I have been cultivating in seclusion in the mountains and have not yet found a suitable place to practice."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, would you be willing to accept the offerings from the Tianzi Kingdom? I am also willing to give you half of this Leye Island. The Nine Heavens Golden Lotus cannot be transplanted, and only a spiritual spring on this island can nourish this spiritual herb to grow and ensure its longevity," the Five Ancient Masters advised.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately took out the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle and looked at the Nine Heavens Golden Lotus that he had transplanted to the Yin-Yang Creation Pool.
However, they discovered that the two Nine Heavens Golden Lotuses, nourished by abundant spiritual energy, were blooming even more beautifully, contrary to what the Five Ancient Masters had described. Clearly, the mysteries of the Yin-Yang Creation Pool were sufficient to compensate for the damage caused by environmental changes.
Lin Yi declined, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, but let me think about it."
The Venerable Wugu had lived for nearly a thousand years and was already a wise and experienced man. How could he not understand the meaning behind Lin Yi's words?
He sighed and had no choice but to settle for second best, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lin obtained the Nine Heavens Golden Lotus, presumably to refine longevity pills. I have various collected medicinal herbs here, as well as a pill formula passed down by an ancient immortal. I only ask that Fellow Daoist Lin do one thing for me, and I will give them all to you."
"Oh, I wonder what kind of thing it is?" Lin Yi asked with interest.
The Venerable Wugu said with a hint of helplessness, “To be honest, I am a little ashamed about this matter. There is a powerful demon in the Tianzi Kingdom. It has tried to steal the Nine Heavens Golden Lotus several times. I was only able to barely resist it because of the various restrictions on Leye Island. If you can help me get rid of this scourge, I... I am willing to give you two more Nine Heavens Golden Lotuses.”
Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "I see. It's just a mere demon. With the two of us working together, we can make sure it can't escape. However, I still plan to search for two other longevity-prolonging elixirs. It won't be long before I know if you know the location of that demon's lair?"
Upon hearing that Lin Yi was willing to help, the Five Ancient Masters' face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, "There's no need for Fellow Daoist Lin to trouble himself with this. That great demon comes to Wufeng Island in Tianzi Kingdom every month to hunt sea fish for a feast. It will be time in three days."
Lin Yi smiled and agreed.
Master Wugu was overjoyed. Tianzi Kingdom had been plagued by this monster for hundreds of years. Fortunately, the monster's original form was a strange sea fish that had attained enlightenment and was not good at flying. He had encountered it several times, but escaped each time with the help of the Yellow Dragon Sword.
However, in recent decades, that great demon's magical power and supernatural abilities have become increasingly astonishing. Even though the Five Ancient Masters obtained another magical artifact, he knew that he would eventually be unable to withstand it, which is why he asked for help.

Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bah!
Three days later, in the waters of Tianzi Kingdom, at Wufeng Island.
This island is the most beautiful island in the Tianzi Kingdom, and its population is second only to the Tianzi Continent.
The surrounding seawater is as clear as turquoise, and from the sky, it looks like a verdant island adorning a piece of emerald green. The occasional passing fishing boat doesn't detract from this beauty; instead, it adds to the picturesque scene.
The fishermen on Wufeng Island were quite elegant, with many strange beasts and big fish painted on their sails, which seemed to be a unique custom of the place.
Wu Gu Shangren and Lin Yi remained hidden to the side, waiting for the great demon to appear.
About half an hour later, a terrifying wave appeared in the distance, reaching straight to the sky, accompanied by the sounds of gongs and drums, and various musical instruments could be faintly heard.
Before long, they saw a wave with many fish and shrimp monsters dancing and playing happily on it. Just then, a fishing boat was approached by this evil wave. A little demon laughed loudly and pointed his finger, and a huge wave as big as a small mountain crashed down, smashing the fishing boat into pieces.
Then more than a hundred strange fish, each larger than a person, swam over, their mouths bulging and fangs bared, their menacing presence threatening the dozen or so fishermen on the fishing boat.
While the Five Ancient Masters were still patient, Lin Yi was too lazy to put in so much effort.
He took out the Six Yang God-Sealing Banner and shook it. The Netherworld Fire Curse on the banner flew out, and with a flash of emerald fire, it took the life of a strange fish. Then, he split off a cursed spirit clone and pounced on the surrounding monsters.
In the blink of an eye, whether it was the monsters on the waves or the fish and shrimp in the water, they all perished.
Lin Yi sneered and unleashed the Netherworld Fire Curse, sweeping outwards in all directions.
Humans kill demons, and demons kill humans in return.
This is a racial conflict, a struggle for survival, a conflict of blood and fire, where there is no right or wrong.
Only dead monsters, or monsters kept in captivity, are good monsters.
The Five Ancient Masters stared in disbelief at the scene before them. The viciousness and strangeness of the Heart Demon Curse had caused quite a stir even in the Seven Phoenix Realm.
In the end, it was only through the intervention of the monk Kukai, who had attained the Vajra Body and achieved immortality, that the demon was able to suppress it.
Not to mention Yunji Star, a planet without even a third-tier cultivator, it is definitely the most powerful supernatural technique in the world.
Upon seeing this, the fishermen in the sea hurriedly swam back to Wufeng Island.
At this moment, an even more turbid and turbid wave rushed in from afar, its crest growing higher and higher, like a towering mountain rising from the ground, exceeding the height of any wave that could be formed in nature.
Lin Yi waved the Six Yang God-Sealing Banner in his hand, and the cursed spirit clone in the sea swept up the scattered fishermen and sent them back to the island.
On the crest of a wave in the sea stood a burly man with fierce eyes, staring at Mist Peak Island. He roared, his voice booming, "Is it that old codger Wu Gu again? I brought my children here for food, and you dare to cause trouble? Do you think you've mastered some magic again and forgotten how your master beat you so badly last time that you ran away in a sorry state?"
The Venerable Wugu was furious and shouted, "You fiend, today is the day you will be beheaded!"
As he finished speaking, a white cloud appeared beneath his feet.
Upon approaching, the Venerable Wugu released the Yellow Dragon Sword and slashed at the burly man. He was a thousand years old and possessed immense magical power; wielding two magical artifacts simultaneously was effortless for him.
For a long time, Master Wugu was not proficient in swordsmanship that combined body and sword, and was good at close combat. His Yellow Dragon Sword was not powerful enough for flying and was not fast enough for attacking. So, in the beginning, he was unable to defeat his opponent several times.
Later, as the great demon's power grew, Wugu Shangren became the one who was suppressed and beaten.
The Yellow Dragon Sword transformed into a long rainbow, relentlessly slashing around the great demon.
The Venerable Wu Gu felt incredibly happy. Fortune had turned, and it was time for him to finally get his revenge.
