"Cao Bao?" Hearing the name of the person outside the cave, Xiao Sheng was stunned. Ever since he had crossed over to the Wilderness, he had been thinking about how to improve his cultivation so that he could safely survive the Apotheosis Tribulation in the future. However, he had not forgotten that there was also Daoist Cao Bao, who was also an unaffiliated cultivator of Wuyi Mountain.
He had originally planned to find some time to stroll around Wuyi Mountain and find the legendary Daoist Cao Bao. If possible, he could even subdue him and use him as a helping hand.
In fact, Xiao Sheng did not have any other thoughts about Taoist Cao Bao, who did not live much longer than him in the Investiture of the Gods.
This Cao Bao had neither cultivation nor magic treasures. He was worse off than him in the Investiture of the Gods. Although he had died as soon as he appeared, he had still used the Falling Treasure Coin to obtain the Falling Sea Calming Pearl and the Dragon Tying Chains.
However, although Cao Bao had lived for an hour longer than him, it seemed that he had not only offered the Sea Calming Pearl that Xiao Sheng had dropped to Dipamkara Taoist, but also followed Dipamkara Taoist down the mountain to help the Golden Immortals of the Clan of Enlightenment with his own life. He was really stupid.
After transmigrating that day, Xiao Sheng had already made up his mind. If Cao Bao was obedient and reliable, Xiao Sheng would not treat him badly. In the future, Xiao Sheng would think of a way to help him increase his cultivation and use the treasure money to collect two treasures for him. It could also be a helper for him.
However, if this person was a person with a strong heart and a deep mind, Xiao Sheng would also help him. This way, Cao Bao's ability would be improved, and he would be able to take the blame for Xiao Sheng in the future.
However, what Xiao Sheng did not expect was that before he could look for it, Cao Bao had delivered himself to his door.
"Since Cao Bao came to visit today, I'll try to build a relationship with this neighbor.”Thinking of this, Xiao Sheng laughed in the cave and said,""I am very happy to have a distinguished guest. Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist. I will go out to welcome you.”As he spoke, Xiao Sheng silently chanted a spell to open the cave door and came outside to welcome Cao Bao.
"This Cao Bao's cultivation isn't high, but his appearance isn't bad.”After leaving the cave, Xiao Sheng looked at the Taoist in red robes in front of him and secretly praised him. Of course, this guy did not forget to add," Not bad, but it's far inferior to me."”
Cao Bao, who was wearing the Seven Treasures Sun and Moon Crown and had a black face, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed when he saw Xiao Sheng walk out of the cave."Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry to trouble you to welcome me.”
Cao Bao's transformation was a hundred years later than Xiao Sheng's. Moreover, his heels were not very good, so his cultivation had only just reached the Celestial Immortal realm.
Originally, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were people who were content with cultivation and rarely went out to cause trouble. It was not that they did not want to go out and make a name for themselves, but the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes were too powerful, so they did not dare to. Logically speaking, the two of them would not have the chance to meet. However, when Xiao Sheng heard a loud bang that resounded between heaven and earth that day (the corpse of the Ancestral Sorcerer Di Jiang fell from the sky), Cao Bao also wanted to follow, but he found that Xiao Sheng was riding a five-colored auspicious cloud. One had to know that when demons went out, it was windy and rainy, while immortals went out on clouds and mist. Celestial Immortals rode on three-colored auspicious clouds, Golden Immortals rode on five-colored auspicious clouds, and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals rode on seven-colored auspicious clouds.
Cao Bao, who had just condensed the auspicious cloud under his feet, immediately dispersed the auspicious cloud as he watched Xiao Sheng leave on the five-colored auspicious cloud. What a joke. If such a master (in Cao Bao's eyes) went, what did it have to do with him?
However, when he turned around and returned to his cave, Cao Bao muttered in his heart. He did not expect that there would be other cultivators in Wuyi Mountain besides him. Moreover, this person's cultivation seemed to be not low, far above his. Danger lurked everywhere in the Wilderness. If he could have such an expert to protect him, his chances of survival would be even greater.
After making up his mind, Cao Bao waited for Xiao Sheng's return at the top of Wuyi Mountain so that he could pretend to meet him by chance. Then, he would use their relationship as neighbors to get close to Xiao Sheng. However, Cao Bao did not expect that Xiao Sheng would turn into a green light and fly back to his cave abode after obtaining the blood essence of the Ancestral Witch. This made Xiao Sheng's prepared excuses useless.
"We can't give up like this!" Cao Bao, who had been living in fear since the beginning of his transformation, finally managed to hug a big tree. How could he give up? Since then, Cao Bao had been strolling outside Xiao Sheng's cave dwelling all day long, hoping that one day Xiao Sheng would take action and the two of them would meet.
He had to admire Cao Bao's perseverance. He had waited outside the cave for 30 years. In the end, he could not wait any longer before asking Xiao Sheng to see him.
Xiao Sheng really did not know that Cao Bao had waited outside the cave for 30 years. Although he had gone to Mount Likong to collect the staff, Xiao Sheng had cut open the space and left. He did not see anyone at the entrance of his cave, so he had Cao Bao wait outside the cave for 30 years.
"Fellow Daoist, it is truly my fortune to be able to come to this humble abode.”Xiao Sheng went out to take a look. Although Cao Bao was only a Heaven Immortal, Xiao Sheng, who had already made up his mind, returned the greeting warmly,"Fellow Daoist, quickly follow me into the cave." As he spoke, Xiao Sheng kindly pulled Cao Bao's arm and entered the cave.
Looking at Cao Bao, who was grateful for his enthusiasm, Xiao Sheng thought to himself,""It is said that the ancients liked to pull and pull. It seems that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was not lying to me.”
Xiao Sheng, who had already made up his mind to escape and learn from Liu Bei, invited Cao Bao into the cave and began to fool him. Cao Bao also had a motive. He quickly added fuel to the fire with Xiao Sheng's enthusiasm. After a while, he called Xiao Sheng 'brother' again and again.
……
"Elder brother, you don't know. Ever since I saw you on the mountain, I wanted to pay you a visit. However, you were in seclusion and didn't come out, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I waited outside the cave for thirty years before I was lucky enough to wait for you to come out.”
"Hmm?" Hearing Cao Bao's words, Xiao Sheng was not moved by the fact that Cao Bao had waited outside the cave for 30 years. Instead, he became wary.
It was not that Xiao Sheng was overthinking things, but to think that a person who cultivated immortality and sought Dao would actually spend a whole 30 years waiting outside the cave to visit a friend. If this person was not mentally ill, he must have other motives, and the motives must be not small.
"This person cannot be underestimated." Xiao Sheng was shocked. It seemed that this Cao Bao was after him. He had to be careful and guard against him. He could not be careless.
But at this moment, Cao Bao put down the stone cup in his hand and said to Xiao Sheng,"Elder brother, I heard that Saint Pangu Shangqing is giving a lecture on the Great Dao on Golden Ao Island. Those who are fated can go and listen. This is a heaven-sent opportunity. Why don't you and I go and listen to the Shangqing Saint's preaching?”
