Meeting Laozi, the Sage

  Pangu Sanqing's first, Taiching Daode Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Taishang Daozu... These are his honorific titles.

  One of the Six Saints of Heaven's Way, the first disciple under Hong Jun's seat, the First Saint, the Master of Human Teachings... these are his identities.

  The white night is about to see him on horseback.

  For this moment, Bai Ye deliberately made preparations - when the human race discussed how to arrange him, Bai Ye spoke first and set the tone: Respect him! Respect him as much as possible! No matter what respectful way is not excessive!

  "Even if everyone is unwilling, I am willing to give him all the food that belongs to me and go find my own food!"

  Bai Ye didn't know if he knew everything he was doing, it was just a gamble - maybe not profitable, but absolutely not losing.

  Because he is my father.

  When White Night entered the earthen house, he immediately bowed deeply and presented the corpse of the wild deer with both hands, saying: "I am White Night of the human tribe, thank you, immortal elder, for saving my life!"

  The old man sat cross-legged on the earthen bed, his eyes wide open, and his snow-white beard quivering slightly.

  "It's just a small effort. No need to be polite, fellow Taoist."

  Bai Ye's body remained still, and he bowed his head to say: "I dare not be called a fellow Daoist by the venerable immortal. The venerable immortal may call me by my name!"

  "In that case, I shall accept it." The old man nodded slightly and said: "I don't know if I can stay here for a few days?"

  "Immortal, you're too polite. The immortal has a great kindness to our human race, why be so courteous? You can live here freely, and we will prepare all the necessities such as food and water for you. If you have any requests, please don't hesitate to tell me!"

  Laozi's face was calm as he said, "That's all for now, thank you."

  The room fell silent for a moment.

  After a moment, White Night said in a low voice: "Immortal Elder, I'll take this wild deer to roast it first, and then bring it back for you to enjoy. Please wait for a while, Immortal Elder."

  "It doesn't matter." The old man's gaze fell on Bai Ye, and with a sudden wave of his hand, the Blood Tooth that was attached to Bai Ye's waist flew out, floating in mid-air, slowly rotating.

  "This object's aura of slaughter is too heavy, somewhat discordant; I'll make a few slight adjustments."

  The old man pointed into the air, and the layer of blood on the surface of the bloody fang quickly faded away without stopping. In the blink of an eye, not only did the bloody fang turn pure white like jade, but the bloody aura also disappeared, and even its shape changed - it became long and sharp-headed, just like a spear!

  The long spear flew back, and Bai Ye stretched out his hand to receive it. He felt that the spear body was warm and smooth like jade, with a suitable weight, very handy. Holding the spear in one hand, Bai Ye bowed again: "Thank you, immortal elder."

  "No need for such fuss."

  The old man said, closing his eyes and falling silent.

  Bai Ye saw this and, extremely self-aware, bowed his head and retreated, slowly backing out of the earthen hut, turning around and leaving.

  The old man on the earthen bed had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, which quickly disappeared.

  ……

  After getting material rewards, people always have greater motivation, just like the current White Night. He washed the wild deer clean, tore it into pieces, and carefully placed it on the fire rack to roast. And that new long spear was right next to him, very eye-catching.

  [System Message: The Ancestor is refining the Spirit Treasure. You can utilize a portion of its mighty power.]

  The day after tomorrow, Lingbao Lingya spear: The tiger demon took its first spiritual tooth and mixed it with boundless blood energy to refine it. After being refined by Laozi, the blood energy was removed and it was changed into a spear shape, extremely sharp. It can calm people's minds and stabilize their hearts. Even ordinary people without any Taoist magic or divine powers can exert its lethal force based on its original form!

  This so-called ordinary human without any Taoist magical powers is naturally referring to Bai Ye.

  "Indeed, it's a great benefit!" Bai Ye was delighted, rubbing his palm back and forth on the spear, savoring the warmth and smoothness in his palm, overjoyed: "Although it's only a postnatal spiritual treasure, it's already extremely rare! Compared to Suirenshi's unusable postnatal merit spiritual treasure, this Lingyue Spear is much stronger!"

  The grading of the Chaos Divine Artifact is very simple, it's just Innate Divine Artifacts and Acquired Divine Artifacts. Among them, Innate Divine Artifacts are divided into Innate Supreme Treasures and Innate Spiritual Treasures; Acquired Divine Artifacts are divided into Acquired Supreme Treasures and Acquired Spiritual Treasures. Below the grade of Acquired Spiritual Treasures are unranked artifacts.

  It is worth mentioning that due to the existence of merits, there are two extremely peculiar types in the acquired Dharma treasures: the Acquired Merit Spirit Treasure and the Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure.

  The power of this object is quite extraordinary, and when added to the law treasure, it also has a wonderful effect. The most famous post-heavenly merit treasure, the Tian Di Xuan Huang Ling Long Pagoda, not only repels evil spirits and dispels all laws, but can also suppress the flow of air, truly a mysterious and boundless wonder. As for the human-made whip, which is a post-heavenly merit spirit treasure, although it cannot suppress the flow of air, its function should not be underestimated.

  But no matter how wonderful the treasure is, if it can't be used, it's useless! And even if it's a later acquired spiritual treasure, even if you can only use its original body, relying on its original properties to use it, it's still a hundred times stronger than something that can't be used at all!

  Although Laozi just simply pointed with his finger, he gave a great benefit to Bai Ye!

  Thinking of this, Bai Ye let out a sigh and furrowed his brow slightly.

  In fact, in the long run, he hopes that Laozi doesn't gain anything! This isn't because of Bai Ye's foolishness, but rather his long-term consideration!

  Bai Ye thought carefully and realized that to become a great cultivator, he first needed to solve the problem of not having a teacher - without one, who would teach him the Great Way? Who would pass on the divine techniques to him? Now, there wasn't anyone like the founder of the sect who could establish a platform to preach the way. Without a teacher's guidance, he was just an ordinary mortal and couldn't even use the spiritual treasures that were delivered right to his doorstep!

  To grow up, you must find a good teacher!

  But who should I worship as a teacher?

  The first choice would naturally be Hong Jun Dao Zu. However, Bai Ye crossed over too late, and by this time the human race had already been born, so the lectures on the Dao at Zi Xuan Palace had long since ended. Want to make Hong Jun your master? Go get struck by lightning once, try crossing over to a slightly earlier point in time!

  The second choice is naturally all the sages, and among them, Laozi is the best candidate.

  Among all the saints, Laozi has the highest status and the fewest apprentices. Naturally, his apprentices are even more precious. Before the war of封神, the saints discussed who should be on the list, but Laozi only said one sentence: "I only have one apprentice, Xuandu, he shouldn't be on the list." Who dares to object?

  So Ba Ye thought for a while and then worked hard towards becoming Lao Zi's apprentice. This is the important reason why he treated Lao Zi with such care.

  He wants to leave a good impression on his old man!

  His plan is to constantly show respect to Laozi, and take care of all sorts of trivial matters for him. One roasted wild deer may not be a big deal, but what about five or ten? If Laozi stays here for one year, he will serve him continuously for that whole year; if it's five years, then he'll do so for five years without interruption! Every moment, every second, he'll take care of Laozi. In just over a decade, won't Laozi feel ashamed to not lift a finger and leave with a pat on the butt?

  The plan was well thought out, but he didn't give him any room to execute it. This future saint either understood White Night's intentions or simply acted in his usual style, and without saying a word, he refined a magic treasure for White Night, allowing him to gain an advantage.

  I'll give you convenience, and you give me benefits - isn't this a win-win situation!

  White Night wanted to cry but had no tears: the Houtian Lingbao was good, but where could it compare to a disciple quota! Thinking of the information he saw earlier, he trembled with fear.

  Laozi, Level: ?, Clan: ?, Honorific Title: ?

  In this information bar, except for the name that Laozi reported himself when they first met, nothing else is displayed! Even the new honorific title that appeared is completely hidden! Bai Ye guessed that if it weren't for Laozi actively reporting his name, even his name would be a "?"!

  "It doesn't matter, there's still time! He has come here now, it must be for that thing! There should be plenty of time before then, and opportunities too! I must persevere!"

  Having psyched himself up, Bai Ye picked up his well-examined Wild Elk and once again charged towards the earth house where Lao Zi was.

  "For the future!"
