Started with maxed-out merit, everyone in the primordial world is my connection

In the prehistoric continent, within Kunlun Mountain, in the mystical realm of Pangu.

Taiqing and Shangqing returned with grim expressions.

The thought of Yuqing treating them like monkeys made even the usually detached Taiqing's face turn unsightly.

"Elder Brother, that Yuqing is too detestable. If he ever calls us again, we must certainly ignore him."

Shangqing said indignantly.

Taiqing, with an aged face like an old man, didn't speak but stroked his beard, choosing to acquiesce.

Ignoring him was a certainty. Unless Yuqing was truly in trouble, they might consider helping, but Yuqing deserved a lesson.

"Hmm? Elder Brother, that Yuqing is actually contacting me."

At that moment, Shangqing, a handsome youth with bright, starry eyes, raised his brow as if sensing something and spoke.

"Oh?"

"Is he asking us to go again?"

Taiqing said indifferently.

"Indeed, Yuqing wants me to go to Nüwa's palace again to find him, and says he has something important to discuss."

Shangqing sensed the message and sneered.

"It's fine, just ignore him."

Taiqing said calmly.

Shangqing nodded, without objection.

He had no intention of paying attention to it, so it was even more impossible for him to go again.

"Huh, this guy sent me a lot of information again. Elder Brother, let me see what else this guy has to say."

Shangqing said.

"Mm."

Taiqing responded.

"Gate of Eternal Life?"

"Technological Weapon Refinement?"

"Scientific Cultivation?"

"Using technological means to refine machine treasures..."

Shangqing originally didn't care and just wanted to see what Yuqing had to say for fun.

However, as he read on, Shangqing's expression changed, his attention became focused, and he carefully examined the content.

While reading, Shangqing pondered and deduced, his eyes becoming brighter.

"Wonderful!"

After seeing Yuqing's detailed explanation of the machine treasures, Shangqing applauded and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

"This kind of method couldn't have been conceived by Second Brother, otherwise he would have thought of it long ago instead of waiting until now."

"So, Qin Ye told him?"

"No wonder Second Brother values this child so much, and no wonder Nüwa directly and publicly announced that Qin Ye is her disciple."

"No wonder, no wonder Second Brother was so out of sorts and had no interest in anything else, focusing solely on discussing things with Qin Ye. So that's how it is."

Many thoughts flashed through Shangqing's mind, and a sense of enlightenment arose in his heart, completely understanding everything.

"My Jie Cult lacks a treasure to suppress luck. If I participate in this plan..."

"Moreover, since this child can bring such great insights to Second Brother, if I help, can he also give me insights?"

Thinking of something, Shangqing's eyes lit up.

Becoming increasingly bright.

Immediately, Shangqing made a decision and suddenly stood up in Taiqing's astonished gaze.

"?"

Taiqing looked bewildered.

Unfortunately, the pie that Yuqing offered was too big and tempting. Shangqing had no choice but to ignore the flag he had set.

Seeing Taiqing's face frozen as if in disbelief, and thinking that Elder Brother had to stay here alone.

Shangqing added, "Elder Brother, don't worry, although I'm going, my heart is still with you. I will never coexist with Yuqing!"

After saying that, because he couldn't wait any longer, Shangqing left immediately without saying more.

"???"

Taiqing.

Looking at Shangqing's disappearing back, Taiqing looked dumbfounded, his eyes already a little dazed.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I supposed to do?

Everything was a blur.

Ah?

He... he left?

... ... ...

Nüwa's palace.

Side hall of Nüwa's palace.

Shangqing arrived expressionlessly.

"It seems you have a way, Fellow Daoist. To think Shangqing actually came."

Seeing Shangqing's arrival, Yuqing praised.

"Greetings, Leader Tongtian."

Qin Ye smiled faintly, then stood up and bowed to Shangqing.

The proper etiquette was still necessary, as it was a matter of one's upbringing. Becoming too arrogant and dismissive was not a good thing.

As for why Qin Ye was certain that Shangqing would definitely come as long as Yuqing mentioned something about technological weapon refinement.

Nonsense, how could a mischievous child not be interested in something fun? Moreover, there were benefits involved. Shangqing wasn't stupid and would naturally come.

Qin Ye believed that Yuqing might not have been unable to think of this method, but Yuqing was unwilling to use it, after all, his persona was at stake.

"Since Second Brother regards you as a friend, there's no need to be polite. You can call me Shangqing, Fellow Daoist, or Senior. Let's communicate as equals."

Shangqing waved his hand, indicating that Qin Ye didn't need to be so polite, and then casually conjured a prayer mat and sat down.

"Alright."

Seeing Yuqing's brow furrowed slightly, Qin Ye chuckled and sat down.

No wonder Yuqing disliked Shangqing. One emphasized rules, while the other was unrestrained.

If Yuqing could stand Shangqing, that would be strange.

Yuqing sat upright, while Shangqing was much more lazy and casual. It would be strange if Yuqing could stand Shangqing.

"You want Second Brother to manufacture this kind of treasure to hide your true self and have this treasure travel the prehistoric world, right?"

"Indeed, the prehistoric world is very deep, and you have many secrets. This method is the most suitable."

"I can help you, but what benefits can I get if I help you?"

After Qin Ye sat down, Shangqing said directly.

"Crude, how can one always talk about benefits in Daoist exchanges?"

Yuqing frowned and reprimanded unhappily.

"I remember that Second Brother, you initially wanted to call me and Elder Brother over to exert pressure, right? Why are you so respectful now?"

Shangqing glanced at Yuqing and asked 'curiously'.

As if you aren't the same!

Even if you really have a close relationship with Qin Ye now, can you say that you weren't doing it for profit at the beginning?

Second Brother, don't laugh at Third Brother.

"..."

Yuqing was speechless, unable to refute.

"Since Senior Shangqing is willing to help me, how can I let Senior help for nothing? I should have benefits suitable for Senior Shangqing here."

Qin Ye smoothed things over.

"Hmph, I despise communicating with such crude people the most."

Seeing Qin Ye helping him find a way out, Yuqing snorted coldly.

Shangqing ignored Yuqing, his starry eyes falling on Qin Ye, and said curiously, "Suitable for me? What kind of benefits are suitable for me?"

"Senior should often be troubled by the fact that Jie Cult lacks a treasure to suppress luck, right?"

"I have three methods here that can help Senior solve this problem and greatly increase your strength. It can be said to be a win-win-win situation."

Qin Ye smiled.

"Oh?"

Shangqing became interested, his eyes lighting up.

He was unfamiliar with Qin Ye, but he understood his Second Brother.

Being able to make someone as proud as his Second Brother acknowledge Qin Ye, and having a homebody like Nüwa trust Qin Ye so much, Qin Ye's ability was naturally beyond doubt.

He wasn't stupid and wouldn't question Qin Ye's level just because Qin Ye's cultivation was weak.

"Tell me about it. If it's really useful, I definitely won't let you suffer."

Shangqing said impatiently, patting his chest heroically as he spoke.

Seeing Shangqing's impolite appearance, Yuqing frowned slightly, a little displeased, but he endured it, forcibly withdrawing his gaze and not wanting to make a fool of himself.

His good brother was still here, and he couldn't let him see the joke.
