Hearing Liu Yang’s words, Bai Mingxuan slapped his thigh.

“Let’s do it! The Divine Martial Sect is such a huge piece of meat. Even if we don’t eat it, others will! Why don’t we eat it ourselves!”

Liu Shengtian nodded.

“You’re right, but we can’t be anxious about this. If others discover our intentions before we develop, I’m afraid the three of us won’t be able to stay in the Divine Martial Sect.”

Bai Mingxuan and Liu Yang nodded. In the next month, the three of them gathered together and discussed how to carry out the plan. After a month, the plan was basically perfected.

As long as nothing went wrong, the Divine Martial Sect would slowly become the second territory of the Divine Tree Village.

It was also on the day the three of them perfected their plan that Gu Xiao transformed into a Divine Envoy and came to Bai Mingxuan’s dream. Bai Mingxuan told him their plan and Gu Xiao was shocked when he heard it.

These three brats were good! He didn’t even dare to think about such a big plan, but the three of them had already prepared the plan and were just waiting for the village to send people.

The Divine Martial Sect was a famous sect in the world. If he could control the Divine Martial Sect, needless to say, his believers would definitely increase greatly. Moreover, the strength of the village would also increase by several times. At that time, he would really have a foothold in this world and a place.

Gu Xiao thought for a moment and said, “Well done. Don’t be impatient. Take it one step at a time.”

Seeing that the Divine Envoy was not surprised, Bai Mingxuan was a little suspicious. Could it be that Lord Divine Tree had already expected this?

Thinking of this, Bai Mingxuan’s heart was in turmoil.

Yes, yes, Lord Divine Tree must have thought of this long ago and sent the elites of the village over to lay the foundation.

It was laughable that they still thought that this was a brilliant move, but they did not know that they had already fallen into the plans of the Lord Divine Tree. It was just that they had the same thoughts as the Lord Divine Tree.

Thinking of this, Bai Mingxuan felt even more respect and loyalty for Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao left Bai Mingxuan’s dream and went to Liu Yang’s dream. The development of the plot was almost identical to Bai Mingxuan’s. Liu Yang and the Divine Envoy explained the plan of the three of them calmly and even instructed them to be careful.

Liu Yang’s heart was also in turmoil. Then, he quickly realized that the Lord Divine Tree had probably thought of this long ago. Then, he admired the Lord Divine Tree even more and was even more loyal.

Of course, there were also differences. Liu Yang told Gu Xiao that he wanted to go home to take a look after some time. Gu Xiao thought about it. This kid was so bold that he even dared to annex the Divine Martial Sect. Perhaps he had hidden many treasures behind the scenes. He must have brought some treasures back this time.

Hence, he agreed on the spot!

The next day, when Gu Xiao was free, he thought of the few storage rings that Liu Shengtian had brought back from the ruins. He had picked out a few good-looking items from the storage rings and left them behind, such as the inkstone.

There were four words engraved under the base of the inkstone: Spiritual Observation Inkstone. This must be the name of this inkstone.

The inkstone was used to hold ink. Gu Xiao had never thought that this thing would be of any help to cultivators. After all, this inkstone was exquisitely shaped.

However, he never expected that after Gu Xiao lifted the inkstone with a willow branch and tried to inject a trace of spiritual power into it, a strange thing happened.

The inkstone was carved with the shape of a tall mountain and flowing water. The tall mountain did not change, but the flowing water became more and more vivid. Gu Xiao’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly placed the inkstone on the ground. As a result, the flowing water pattern carved on the inkstone actually flowed out with a spiritual spring.

What was even more magical was that wherever the spiritual spring passed, a small stream would automatically open up and flow from the mountain to the village on the mountainside.

This spring water contained extremely dense spiritual energy. Gu Xiao only used the willow branch to gently occupy it and instantly felt incomparably comfortable, as if even his wrinkled bark was about to stretch out.

“F*ck, this is more than a treasure. It’s simply a treasure!”

There were probably many disciples of large sects among the cultivators that Liu Shengtian had killed. Putting everything else aside, the Spiritual Observation Inkstone must have been brought out from the Great Desolate by a disciple of a large sect.

In the Divine Tree Village, the villagers were originally staying well inside the wall. Suddenly, a spiritual spring surged out from the empty area of the village, emitting dense spiritual qi.

The villagers immediately went to report to the village chief, Ling Yao. She rushed over and discovered that the spring water contained spiritual qi, and it flowed down from the mountain. She thought that it was most likely related to the Lord Divine Tree and told the villagers not to act rashly. She quickly went up the mountain.

As soon as they reached the mountain, the source of the spring water was indeed placed in front of Lord Divine Tree. It was an inkstone.

Ling Yao was also a little stunned. One look at this inkstone and she knew that it was definitely not an ordinary item.

In fact, this inkstone had never displayed its true effect in the hands of the previous owner. It had always been played with as an exquisite cultural relic.

To activate the effect of the inkstone flowing out of the spiritual spring, it was impossible without deep spiritual power. Although Gu Xiao’s level was not high, the depth, density, and essence of his spiritual power were unique. Therefore, the true function of the inkstone was activated.

Of course, Gu Xiao did not know this. He only thought that this inkstone was a treasure that everyone could use. However, in Ling Yao’s eyes, Lord Divine Tree was actually able to move this inkstone. Lord Divine Tree’s cultivation was indeed extremely terrifying.

Ling Yao knelt on the ground and said piously.

“Thank you, Lord Divine Tree, for the spiritual spring.”

Gu Xiao did not mind and waved his branch.

“It’s a small matter. With the spiritual spring, tell the villagers to cultivate well. The spiritual spring is endless. In the future, the village won’t have to go far away to get water.”

Ling Yao was moved to tears. Lord Divine Tree was indeed Lord Divine Tree. The source of the spiritual spring that the sect usually could not get was actually released so easily by Lord Divine Tree. Furthermore, it did not seem to hurt at all.

It was indeed the right choice to follow the Divine Tree.

At this moment, Ling Yao suddenly thought of a spirit beast she had picked up a few days ago when she went up the mountain to chop firewood.

That spirit beast had a noble status and a pure bloodline. The village did not have the ability to raise this spirit beast. Hence, Ling Yao thought of Lord Divine Tree and hurriedly took out her storage ring to exchange for the sleeping spirit beast.

“Lord Divine Tree, this spirit beast was picked up by the villagers a few days ago. It’s probably a child that the mother of a certain spirit beast accidentally lost and specially offered to Lord Divine Tree.”

At first, Gu Xiao did not take it seriously. He thought that it was a demon beast like the Windtooth Wolf, but he did not expect that this spirit beast would immediately attract Gu Xiao’s attention.

This spirit beast had a dragon head, a dragon tail, the body of an elk, and the claws of a wolf. There was even a horn on its head, and its body was covered in dragon scales. Seven-colored light kept changing. If this was not a pure-blooded Qilin, what was it?
