　　Young master is still thoughtful. If I go down, I’m afraid I will really scare this youth.
　　Zhai Mo laughed heartily when he heard this.
　　Also, if we want this youth to ask us for help, we may have to think of some tricks.
　　Xu Taiping then said thoughtfully at this time.
　　For example？
　　Zhai Mo became interested at this time.
　　Don’t worry, there’s still some time. Let’s think about it carefully.
　　Xu Taiping simply sat cross-legged.
　　Since there was nothing else to do, the two of them began to sit and discuss face to face.
　　The time for a cup of tea passed quickly.
　　The sky here also began to become a little darker.
　　And Xu Taiping and Zhai Mo could clearly sense that the auras on each other’s bodies were spreading out little by little.
　　“Young master, it’s almost time.”
　　Zhai Mo nervously reminded Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping nodded and immediately transmitted a voice to Elder Zhang’s mind, saying：
　　“Elder Zhang, how is the arrangement going？”
　　At such a short distance, even without using the sound transmission jade slip, with their cultivation at the Mysterious Realm, they could also transmit voices across the air.
　　Soon, Elder Zhang’s voice came——
　　“Young master, the arrangement of this mountain terrain is a bit complicated. I still need at least the time for a cup of tea.”
　　Elder Zhang’s tone was obviously tinged with a bit of apology.
　　Xu Taiping immediately transmitted a voice to comfort him, saying：
　　“It’s okay, Elder Zhang. Jiuyuan can only roughly sense our position and it’s impossible to find us within the time for a cup of tea. You and Yuzhu continue to arrange, don’t worry.”
　　“Then I’ll trouble the young master to guard us for a while.”
　　Elder Zhang, who received Xu Taiping’s comfort, obviously had a much easier tone.
　　And after getting confirmation from Elder Zhang that the formation would take at least the time for a cup of tea to be set up, Xu Taiping immediately turned his head to look at Zhai Mo and said：
　　“Brother Zhai Mo, you find a place to hide and continue to watch. I’ll go and test that young man.”
　　“Go ahead, sir. I’m here with Old Zhang and the others.” Zhai Mo nodded immediately.
　　Immediately, Xu Taiping changed into a somewhat shabby Taoist robe, and his appearance and figure were also changed into the appearance of an old man using the Flame Emperor Body Forging Technique. Then, taking advantage of the fact that the power of the talisman had not completely dissipated, he quickly went around to the foot of the mountain below the young man.
　　“Hmm…”
　　The young man from Jinding Village still didn’t notice anything. It seemed that he was just a little tired from lying down, so he stretched and sat up.
　　The big black dog behind him immediately raised its head and licked him a few times.
　　“Big Black, you’re hungry, right？ Hold on a little longer. In a while, mother will call me home for dinner.”
　　The young man put away the book in his hand and rubbed the big black dog’s head with a smile.
　　“Woof！”
　　The big black dog seemed to understand what he said and opened its mouth to bark.
　　“So big and black, haha.”
　　The young man put his arms around the big black dog’s neck and rubbed it affectionately.
　　“Cough　cough　cough…”
　　And at this moment, Xu Taiping, disguised as an old Taoist priest, coughed and walked up the mountain with difficulty.
　　Because he had lived with his grandfather since childhood, Xu Taiping played the role of an old man very well.
　　“Woof! Woof!”
　　Seeing a stranger come up, the big black dog immediately got up and barked furiously at Xu Taiping with its teeth bared.
　　“Don’t be afraid, Dahei. That’s not a bad person！”
　　The youth gently patted the big black dog on the head.
　　The obedient big black dog immediately stopped barking and began to wag its tail quickly.
　　“Patta！”
　　At this time, Xu Taiping deliberately staggered and pretended to be about to fall.
　　“Old man, don’t move. I’ll help you！”
　　Seeing this, the youth immediately ran quickly down the mountain.
　　He, who had walked on the mountain road all year round, ran to Xu Taiping’s front in just a few steps.
　　“Old man, you lean on my shoulder and I’ll take you up.”
　　The youth very cleverly moved closer to Xu Taiping.
　　“Thank you, young master.”
　　Xu Taiping narrowed his eyes and smiled, and then reached out and put his hand on the youth’s shoulder.
　　That well-behaved big black dog also ran down from above at this time, biting the corner of Xu Taiping’s clothes with its mouth and dragging it upwards.
　　“Old man, what are you doing alone on this Golden Summit Mountain？”
　　After helping Xu Taiping to that flat position, the youth wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Xu Taiping pantingly.
　　“Young man, to tell you the truth, I have a friend who is a fairy and lives on the top of this Golden Summit Mountain. I came here today to visit him.”
　　The old Taoist priest disguised by Xu Taiping replied with a smile.
　　“Immortal？”
　　Upon hearing this, the teenager’s eyes lit up at first, and then he shook his head vigorously and said：
　　“Old man, you must have been deceived by your friend. I was born at the foot of this mountain since I was a child, but I have never seen any immortal.”
　　Upon hearing this, the old man disguised by Xu Taiping laughed heartily, and then stretched out a hand to the teenager and said：
　　“Young man, can you give the old man a sip of water to drink？”
　　Upon hearing this, the teenager immediately handed the water-filled gourd around his waist to Xu Taiping and said：
　　“Old man, there is only a small half of the gourd left. If it is not enough, I will fetch some more for you when I go home later！”
　　“No need, no need.”
　　Xu Taiping waved his hand, drank the water in the gourd in one gulp, and then handed the gourd back to the teenager.
　　The teenager instinctively reached out to pick up the gourd, but to his surprise, the gourd that could originally be lifted with one finger suddenly became extremely heavy and slipped from his hand, falling to the ground with a “splat”.
　　“Strange, why has this gourd become so heavy…”
　　The teenager scratched his head, crouched down and picked up the gourd, but immediately his whole person froze there.
　　And then he was seen, holding the gourd and looking at Xu Taiping in astonishment and saying：
　　“Old… old man… How did my gourd… turn into gold？！”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping smiled mysteriously and said：
　　“Young man, this is the immortal method of turning stones into gold.”
　　As he spoke, he just reached out and gently touched the gourd, and the gourd immediately changed back to its original ordinary appearance.
Seeing this, the look of astonishment on the young man’s face increased by a few points.
　　“Young man, do you want to learn this method of turning stones into gold from the old man？”
　　Feeling that the time was ripe, Xu Taiping immediately asked the young man the question he had been planning for a long time.
　　Under Xu Taiping’s expectant gaze, after being stunned for a long time, the young man suddenly shook his head vigorously and said：
　　“No！”
　　“Huh？”
This time it was Xu Taiping’s turn to look astonished.
