Zhang Ruochen was even faster. By the time Amazing Little Taoist had arrived, the piece of turtle sh.e.l.l was already in his hand.

“Give it to me!”

Amazing Little Taoist turned into a beam of purple light and flew towards Zhang Ruochen’s palm, wanting to s.n.a.t.c.h it away.

“Whoosh-”

Zhang Ruochen flashed away and appeared at the entrance of Taoist Garden.

Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen took out another piece of the turtle sh.e.l.l from his Spatial Ring and compared the two pieces. It turned out that the two pieces could actually be pieced together.

The only difference was that the piece of turtle sh.e.l.l from the Saint Tree was bigger.

“It has the same material, and both had people carving out shapes and glyphs on it. It should have been one piece originally, and were all originally on the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror.” Zhang Ruochen mumbled to himself.

“Gimme!”

Amazing Little Taoist jumped on him again, with exceeding speeds.

But it was all in vain as Zhang Ruochen teleported away again.

After this repeated a dozen of times, Amazing Little Taoist didn’t even manage to catch Zhang Ruochen’s shadow. Amazing Little Taoist frustratedly declared, “Zhang Ruochen! If you do not give the two pieces of turtle sh.e.l.l to me, we cannot even remain as friends! You know how high my cultivation is.”

At this moment, Amazing Little Taoist’s palms clenched into a fist that was about the size of a goose egg. It was as though showing off his muscles.

Zhang Ruochen took out Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide, and asked. “Do we really have to fight?”

Seeing that, Amazing Little Taoist instantly deflated, and tried to defuse the conflict, “I merely wanted to take a look. You know how my spells and cultivation all came from that piece of turtle sh.e.l.l. If I was able to take a look at the other piece, it might very well allow me to breakthrough to the next stage of cultivation. With our relations.h.i.+p, is that even a problem?”

“I remember our relations.h.i.+p is just merely that of cooperation.”

Pausing for a while, Zhang Ruochen continued, “That piece of turtle sh.e.l.l from you will be returned to you after we leave the Taoist Garden. But the piece just now was obtained by me. Whether I want to lend it to you for viewing will entirely depend on my mood.”

Amazing Little Taoist righteously proclaimed, “Zhang Ruochen, listen to me. Show me the turtle sh.e.l.l and I will check for its authenticity. I am a Taoist, will I lie to you on this? My cultivation is many times that of yours. I take no interest in lying to a small fry like you. Pa.s.s it over. I am really just gonna check it for you and will return you once I am done checking.”

Zhang Ruochen rolled his eyes, and stated, “I think, since we could find one in the Saint Tree. Perhaps there will be more pieces around here.”

Amazing Little Taoist’s eyes widened, and immediately dashed back into the Tao Garden.

Zhang Ruochen also released his Spiritual Power to investigate, but strangely, this place was rather weird. Any object seemed to be able to block his spiritual power, rendering him to be unable to penetrate beyond the surface to investigate.

It was even worse for underground.

Like a streak of purple light, Amazing Little Taoist dashed around in the Tao Garden. Soon he flipped the entire place upside down, but didn’t obtain anything.

And neither did Zhang Ruochen.

“Whatever, we should leave this place. If King Flame and Queen Ling from the Yin Yang Field are here, we would be in a lot of trouble.” Zhang Ruochen keep eyeing the surroundings, worried about an ambush.

Amazing Little Taoist seemed to be still hung up over the turtle sh.e.l.l, and said, “You go first. Since there appeared one piece of turtle sh.e.l.l, there could definitely be other pieces. I must find it even if I raze this Tao Garden to the ground.”

Amazing Little Taoist dashed to the exterior of the Tao Garden and started to find again.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You are a Hundred-thousand years Saint Medicine. If you land in their hands, even if you are not immediately consumed, you would be brewed into a Saint Pill. Are you sure you don’t want to leave?”

“Whatever King and Queen you were talking about, are they really that strong? With my overwhelming cultivation, how could I fear them? Go, go, if you are really scared, just leave now. I will keep searching for it.”

Zhang Ruochen felt that he was a bit too concerned by the pieces of turtle sh.e.l.l, and said casually, “There should be other uses to the pieces of turtle sh.e.l.l.”

“How did you know?”

Just as he said it, Amazing Little Taoist realized that he let the cat out of the bag.

Zhang Ruochen smiled, “Tell me what is the other ways of using it. Maybe I will stay behind and look for it with you.”

“Did you think I am stupid? Secrets are only secrets when only I know about it.”

Amazing Little Taoist did not speak much more. He dashed into nearby ruins and continued the search.

But just as he dashed in, an explosion occurred.

Even the earth around seemed to be shaking slightly from the explosion.

Smoking, Amazing Little Taoist came out with his body covered in soot, and shrieked, “Even in this pieces of ruins, there exist ancient inscriptions of Battle Formation. Luckily, I am alert enough and was only struck by one of the attacks before being able to escape. If I was completely caught within…. Ouch, it hurts…”

“Since this used to be a holy place of the Taoist people, it naturally would be dangerous to randomly dash around.”

Amazing Little Taoist asked, “Why are you still here?”

Zhang Ruochen rubbed his chin as he observed the medicine plants growing on the Five Elements Soil, and mumbled, “Strange, how strange.”

Amazing Little Taoist felt a bit nervous by that mumbling, and asked, “What happened?”
