"I think I should know what candied hawthorn is."

"Moreover, I should be able to find it."

Han Xiaopao said leisurely.

For Han Xiaopao, candied hawthorn was something commonly seen on the streets before he crossed worlds. After crossing... he rose from small places in the Lower Realm's mortal world step by step. Candied hawthorn was also a common street snack among mortals in the Lower Realm.

It's really difficult for these bigwigs of the Immortal Domain. Their lowest starting point in life is the Lower-Rank Immortal Realm. How could they possibly know about something as lowly as candied hawthorn? It's really hard for them.

They even guessed what the Holy Gourd was and were prepared to jointly deduce its existence... Han Xiaopao was also speechless.

Maybe... this is what it means to be a big shot. Having too broad a perspective can sometimes lead to problems.

Such a thing could only be known by a country lad like Han Xiaopao.

...

The whole audience was in an uproar, looking Han Xiaopao up and down.

Is this the young one Zhao Kuo has been mentoring all this time?

At this moment, Zhao Kuo stepped out, cupped his fists towards Xiao Sheng on stage, and said, "Please forgive him, Domain Master. The child is just rambling, doesn't know any better, likes to boast."

After speaking, he turned and glared at Han Xiaopao, "Why haven't you stepped down yet!"

"Wait."

Xiao Sheng sized up the young man and asked, "You can find it?"

Hearing this, the other Realm Masters also wore puzzled looks.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm ninety percent sure I can find it." Han Xiaopao dared not speak too confidently.

But as long as it's the candied hawthorn from his memory, there should be no problem, as he himself knows how to make it.

"So, you are also guessing?"

"And only ninety percent sure?"

Xiao Sheng frowned.

He wanted absolute certainty, and finding the wrong thing could be worse than not finding it at all.

Zhao Kuo also had a headache. He had clearly instructed him not to speak carelessly before coming, and now the boast had been made. If he couldn't find it, it wouldn't just cut off Han Xiaopao's future, he himself would also be in trouble.

"Let me put it another way."

"I'm one hundred percent certain, and one hundred percent able to find it."

"Besides, even if you find the Holy Gourd, it's not what the Master wants."

Han Xiaopao knew well that this was an opportunity, a chance he had to seize firmly.

"Since you know, then tell us, what exactly is the treasure? Where can it be found?"

At this moment, a relatively young Realm Master Zhang, who had only ascended a few hundred years ago, asked Han Xiaopao.

"As for that... it's inconvenient to say."

"But I can guarantee that I can find it."

How could Han Xiaopao possibly reveal it? If he said it, with the ability of these Realm Masters, they could easily seize it in no time. What credit would there be left for him?

Hence, he had to create a sense of mystery.

"You!"

"Finding something for the Master is everyone's business. What do you mean by hiding it?"

Realm Master Zhang also scolded Han Xiaopao angrily.

"Stop arguing."

Xiao Sheng also glared at Zhang Kaitian, then turned to Han Xiaopao and said word by word, "Can you find it within a day?"

"Yes, it won't take a day, just one hour."

Han Xiaopao replied with a smile.

He knew how to make candied hawthorn and could do it in a heartbeat. Giving them even an hour was out of concern that they couldn't handle it.

Just like in his previous life when he worked as a locksmith. It clearly took only a minute, but he pretended for several hours just so the people would appreciate his effort and pay him willingly.

Upon hearing it would only take an hour, a glimmer of Immortal Light flashed in Xiao Sheng's eyes.

"Go ahead, I'll give you an hour."

As he finished speaking.

Han Xiaopao paused for a moment, hesitant to move.

Xiao Sheng saw his apprehension and added, "No one present can leave within the hour."

"Thank you, Domain Master."

With that, Han Xiaopao finally felt assured and left.

The matter was significant. If a Realm Master wanted to kill him to seize the searched item, it would be all too easy.

After all, this represented credit, and among the seven Realm Masters, apart from Zhao Kuo, the other six likely also wanted this credit all to themselves.

...

Han Xiaopao had managed to climb up to become a favored person beside Zhao Kuo from the Lower Realm; it would have been impossible without some cunning.

In other areas, he might not be adept, but when it came to protecting himself, he used every tactic in the book.

He exited Wuyin Palace, entered a mountain range, made several turns and twists, and ensured no one was following.

With a wave of his hand, a few hawthorn berries appeared, and in a moment, he made a skewer of candied hawthorns based on his memory from the previous life.

After preparing it and timing it right.

He returned to Wuyin Palace.

Seeing Han Xiaopao return, everyone displayed astonished expressions, having found it so quickly?!

"Did you find it?"

Xiao Sheng asked Han Xiaopao.

Hearing this, Han Xiaopao nodded.

"Take it out and let us see." Xiao Sheng said.

Han Xiaopao stood still and replied, "Domain Master, I have admired the Master for a long time. I wonder if I might be fortunate enough to meet the Master this time?"

He knew very well that this credit could be taken away by Xiao Sheng.

Realm Master Zhao was right; the only person he needed to follow was the Master, and this had to be clear.

"You brat, what do you mean by this?"

"We are all working for the Master, and you want special treatment?" The young Realm Master Zhang frowned at Han Xiaopao.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuo stepped out and retorted, "Realm Master Zhang, this credit solely belongs to Han Xiaopao. Do you want a share too?"

He fully understood Han Xiaopao's character, knowing that if he dared return, it meant he had definitely found the item.

Finding a treasure for the Master was a tremendous credit. If Han Xiaopao grasped it, his future prospects would be smooth sailing.

"You!"

Realm Master Zhang was red with anger but dared not explode.

.....

Xiao Sheng naturally understood Han Xiaopao's thoughts, but... he dared not snatch his credit either, and this junior had a remarkable disposition, knew how to seize opportunities.

This was a good thing, and it was possible he might indeed find a place with the Master in the future.

"Come with me then."

Xiao Sheng said to Han Xiaopao.

Seeing this, Han Xiaopao felt overjoyed; he had indeed bet correctly.

And so, Han Xiaopao followed Xiao Sheng out of Wuyin Palace.

Seeing the two leave, Realm Master Zhang clenched his fists.

At this time, Zhao Kuo walked up and said slowly, "Realm Master Zhang, I admit your talents surpass ours, after all, you are the youngest of the Realm Masters."

"I also know you are eager to perform before the Master, but you must understand that some things can't be rushed. Rushing can make matters worse."

After he finished speaking, he left Wuyin Palace.

Han Xiaopao followed behind Xiao Sheng, crossing the void and anticipating... who exactly his Master was.
