Gu Zhidao did not hide his disappointed expression after seeing the gift, and Wen Ao Zhongda, who was beside him, naturally took him into his eyes. Wen Ao Zhongda was not worried that Gu Zhidao would feel disgusted with him because the gift was prepared by him, and he had already predicted what reaction he would have when the gift was received. Now Gu Zhidao's reaction was just as expected.

Before Gu Zhidao closed the box again, Wen Ao Zhongda reminded him in a timely manner: "Brother, do you think this gift is very ordinary?"

"It's not ordinary. There are not many middle-grade magic weapons in Outermen Lingshan." Gu Zhidao smiled lightly, restrained the disappointment on his face, and responded. The words on the surface meant that the gift was pretty good, but in fact it had a slight sense of pride. The hidden meaning was that there were not many middle-grade magic weapons in Outermen Lingshan, but for the large sects in Zhiyuantang, which are the best in the innermen Lingshan, the middle-grade magic weapons are nothing.

Wen Ao Zhongda couldn't hear one of his words. He pointed to the gift with confidence and smiled: "Although these treasures are just medium-grade magic weapons, the contents on them are not ordinary. Why not take a closer look?"

Seeing Wen Ao Zhongda so confident about his gift, Gu Zhidao's curiosity that had dissipated spread, causing him to look at the magic weapon again. This time, he no longer simply sensed the magic power emitting from the magic weapon, but carefully used his magic eyes to see the details on the magic weapon. The expression on his face also changed from curiosity to surprise, and then from surprise to joy.

Gu Zhidao had to admit that what Wen Ao Zhongda said was right. These seemingly ordinary middle-grade magic weapons are actually not ordinary at all.

Although Gu Zhidao did not know much about forging magic weapons, he could still distinguish the quality of a thing. In his opinion, the material for forging this magic weapon is very ordinary. Perhaps there are spiritual materials that he does not know. But according to the grade of the spiritual materials used by most of the magic weapons, it should be an ordinary spiritual ore. If you hand it over to the forging masters within the Kuyao Immortal Sect to forge the magic weapon, you can at most a low-grade magic weapon. However, now the aura of this treasure has reached the level of a medium-grade magic weapon based on the fusion of spiritual materials alone. It can be seen that the forging skills of the person who forged this magic weapon is extraordinary.

In addition to the extremely superb forging skills presented by this magic weapon, the runes are also extraordinary in building the main power of magic weapons. In addition to practicing orthodox Confucianism and Law, Confucian disciples in Zhiyuantang also practice a lot of miscellaneous studies, among which the magic array and rune forging of magic weapons are a compulsory study. Zhiyuantang does not require disciples to be able to forge various magic weapons one by one. But at least the disciples must understand the forging magic array and runes after obtaining a magic weapon, and then deduce the most basic way of using this magic weapon. Therefore, as long as you do not encounter a very remote and unique magic weapon, the magic weapon of ordinary immortals, demons, Buddhas and demons can use the most basic power when they fall into the hands of the great scholars of Zhiyuantang.

When Gu Zhidao was in Zhiyuantang, he learned the way of forging and changed his cultivation. Although he was much worse than the masters who were proficient in forging in the Heavenly Sect, he was not worse than ordinary forging masters. Just from the fact that most of his magic weapons were forged by himself, it can be seen that his forging level is not low.

After carefully checking these middle-grade magic weapons as gifts, Gu Zhidao quickly recognized that most of the magic weapons and runes are the most common magic array runes in the Kunlun Three Realms. Basically, it can be said that as long as anyone who has learned a little about the formation and talisman method can recognize these magic arrays and runes. According to his understanding of the forging method, no matter how these magic arrays and runes are combined, they cannot make a magic weapon of average material become a medium-grade magic weapon.

However, now this magic weapon is a real middle-grade magic weapon. It can be seen that this magic weapon must be hidden in the mystery of improving the quality of the magic weapon. Gu Zhidao even felt that this mystery might be on the mysterious patterns connecting the magic arrays.

In Zhiyuan Hall, Gu Zhidao stayed in the library for many years. Although he was not well-versed in Confucian classics, he was very familiar with miscellaneous books. He once had the title of miscellaneous studies among his peers in Zhiyuan Hall. However, the key patterns on these magic weapons are patterns he had never seen before. The patterns are very strange, like pictures and words. The structure is completely different from all the magic circles and runes around it. It looks out of place in the middle, but the overall look gives people a very contradictory feeling of being mixed together.

Although these magic weapons are just middle-grade magic weapons, in Gu Zhidao's view, their value may be comparable to that of an immortal spiritual treasure or even an ancient spiritual treasure.

For the current stage of the Brut Medicine Immortal Sect, one or two immortal-grade spiritual treasures or innate spiritual treasures cannot improve their overall strength too much. However, if you can obtain a forging method that can forge medium-grade magic weapons using general spiritual materials and general magic arrays, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the overall strength of the Brut Medicine Immortal Sect.

So, after realizing the importance of the gift in his hand, Gu Zhidao couldn't help but ask, "My brother Zhongda, who forged this magic weapon?"

"The person who forged these magic weapons is my top peak." Wen Ao Zhongda could see that Gu Zhidao attached great importance to this magic weapon, so he did not hide it. He said bluntly: "I don't understand the method of forging. I just feel that these magic weapons are forged in exquisite form and are very convenient to use, so I used them as gifts. If Brother Zhidao doesn't like it, I can exchange them for other gifts."

"No, no! This thing is very good, very good!" Of course, Gu Zhidao would not hand over these magic weapons. While shaking his hand, he closed the box again and placed it beside him.

Since he has understood that these magic weapons were forged by the real owner of the Crystal Forest, Gu Zhidao felt that he could not find any valuable things when he continued to ask Wen Ao Zhongda. He could only discuss whether to trade the forging method of this magic weapon when he met with the Crystal Forest in the future.

After placing the box aside, Gu Zhidao's mood returned to calm and began to follow the rhythm he had planned before, saying, "Since my brother doesn't want the Crystal Forest to be involved in the battle of the outer gate spirit mountain, my Kuyao Immortal Sect will not force it, nor will it disturb the Crystal Forest. Tomorrow I will send someone to withdraw the secret whistle of the Kuyao Immortal Sect around the Crystal Forest." As he said, he changed his tone and said, "But, have you also contacted the Four Sect Alliance before I came into contact with my Kuyao Immortal Sect?"

"No!" Wen Ao Zhongda thought Gu Zhidao was worried that he would do one thing, and he would not invade each other with the Kuyao Immortal Sect on the surface, but secretly cooperate with the four sects, so he hurriedly said: "The reason why I gave a message to Kuyao Immortal Sect is mainly because Zhiyuan Hall is within Kuyao Immortal Sect, and the evil demon hall of Jingtao Dasheng also has a large number of Confucian fellows, who are both Confucian disciples, so it is easier to deal with."

"My brother is confused!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhidao looked worried about him and said, "Since my brother does not want to be involved in disputes and is neutral between our two major forces, he should not favor one or the other. Regardless of whether there is a response to this prayer, you should have also paid a prayer to the Four Sects Alliance at that time. Now you just give me a prayer to the Kuyao Immortal Sect, and then come to see us alone. When the news spreads, what do you think the people from the Four Sects Alliance will think?"

"Oh! It's wrong, it's wrong!" Wen Ao Zhongda immediately understood that something had happened to his big mistakes at what he had done. He could guess at how the Four Sects Alliance would react after getting the news of his meeting with the Kuyao Immortal Sect. No matter how he explained it later, he would definitely think that the Emperor Valley had already joined the Kuyao Immortal Sect.

"When I came here this time, I had already hidden my whereabouts. No one should know, right?" Wen Ao Zhongda had a hint of luck, as if he was asking and answering himself, and as if he was reminding Gu Zhidao not to spread the news.

How could Gu Zhidao not hear the meaning of it? He smiled and said, "Do you know how many sect forces are staring at your crystal forest in that isolation area? How many of those sects have secretly had close relationships with the four sects alliance? It's almost their eyes and ears?"

"This..." Wen Ao Zhongda was speechless. It was only a short time for him to come to the outer gate Lingshan. It was already very good to be able to find out the general information about the surrounding forces. How could he find out so clearly?

"There are thirty-seven sect forces around your crystal forest, all of which are branches and branches of some nominally neutral small sects in the outer sect Lingshan. Among these sect forces, nine have a good relationship with our Kuyao Immortal Sect. After the situation stabilizes in the future, they will officially join the Kuyao Immortal Sect. The reason why they sent people into the quarantine is mainly to monitor the movements of the four sects alliance for me. "Gu Zhidao reached out and used his magic power to quickly write the names of the sects in the air.

Xu Xu explained: "Only seven of the other twenty-eight sects are absolutely neutral. They are the outer halls of the three alliances and six sects. They will not intervene in the battle between our two major forces. They just hold on to this opportunity to get a little cheaper in the isolation area. Although the remaining twenty-one are nominally neutral sects, they are actually all pioneers of the Four-Sect Alliance. They just wait for the time to be ripe and will open a channel for the Four-Sect Alliance in the isolation area, and directly let the main force of the Four-Sect Alliance directly attack the territory of my Kuyao Immortal Sect."

"There are so many?" Wen Ao Zhongda's face turned gloomy and said, "You don't have an agreement..."

"Yes, there is an agreement. The content of the agreement is that our two forces are not allowed to enter the isolation zone, but these sect forces are not nominally among our two forces." Gu Zhidao looked at Wen Ao Zhongda's expression change with his eyes and continued to say slowly: "These sect forces are still openly, and it is unknown how many people there are in the dark. Any sect forces that appear in the isolation zone will be closely monitored by them. Although you have a high level of cultivation, you may be a little bit short of trying to avoid everyone's surveillance. Moreover, your hidden whereabouts are undoubtedly the place without silver."
