Chapter 8: Immortal Seed and Banished Immortal

Bai Ze strode into the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, there were rows of shelves on the left and right, with one wooden box after another placed on them.

Wherever Bai Ze went, A Fu would open the wooden box and introduce it to Bai Ze:

“This is a thousand-year snow lotus.”

“This is a sunflower… be careful, sunflowers have a restraining effect on the Corpse Demon Clan.”

“This is a green sprout essence.”

“This is a dragon soaring wood.”

“……”

The warehouse was not large, and it was filled with dozens of kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Bai Ze quickly finished his tour.

Bai Ze asked Old Man Ying in his heart, “Teacher, what do you think of these heavenly materials and earthly treasures?”

Old Man Ying said, “They are all low-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures. That snow lotus and dragon soaring wood can barely be considered mid-grade.

These things are almost worthless in the Immortal Realm.

It’s just that in this wild and remote area, it’s already very rare for your family to have such reserves.”

Bai Ze was overjoyed and said, “Then it should be enough for me to practice the Corpse Emperor Vajra Fist for a long time, right?”

Old Man Ying rolled his eyes in Bai Ze’s heart, “With just this little bit, if you cultivate with all your strength, it won’t even last you a week!”

“……” Bai Ze was a little speechless, “Before, I only consumed twenty skeleton soldiers, and it allowed me to advance a level!”

Old Man Ying said, “Before, you already had a certain foundation, so the distance to advancement was not far.

Furthermore, the further you go in cultivation, the greater the difficulty, and the more resources you consume.”

Depressing!

Although this Corpse Emperor Vajra Fist is powerful, it also consumes a huge amount of resources.

It is also possible to cultivate without consuming resources, but the speed would be too slow.

The Journey to the West Pilgrimage group might arrive at any time, and Bai Ze doesn’t have that time to grind slowly.

“Wait, Kid… look at what’s in that corner over there?”

Hearing Old Man Ying’s guidance, Bai Ze walked towards a corner where an ordinary stone box was placed.

Bai Ze asked, “Uncle A Fu, what’s inside this?”

A Fu stepped forward and opened the lid, “This emerald green thing looks like some kind of stone. This old servant doesn’t know what it is exactly.

But it should be some kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure, so it was stored here.”

Bai Ze picked up the stone and asked in his heart, “Teacher, is there a problem with this stone?”

In Bai Ze’s mind, Old Man Ying’s disappointed voice came, “You, ah, do you know that you’ve picked up a treasure?

This is not a stone at all!

This is an immortal seed left behind by the great goddess Nüwa. I didn’t expect such a treasure to be in your mere cave dwelling.”

Bai Ze said, “An immortal seed left by the great goddess Nüwa, is it useful?”

Old Man Ying said, exasperated, “Is it useful?

You probably don’t know how precious this seed is.

Do you know that many immortals and gods in this world were not born from a womb, but were planted by the great goddess Nüwa back then?

I don’t know how many deities, and how many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, were grown out.”

“Gods and immortals are grown from trees?”

Bai Ze only knew that Nüwa created humans, but he didn’t know that Nüwa also created gods.

Holding the emerald green seed, Bai Ze chuckled. If he could grow an archangel or the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, that would be awesome!

“Uncle A Fu, I want this green stone.” Bai Ze said casually.

“This…” Bai Ze’s choice surprised A Fu, “Aren’t you going to choose something better? This stone doesn’t seem to have any use!”

Bai Ze said, “I just like this green stone.

By the way, Uncle A Fu, besides this, please choose three more heavenly materials and earthly treasures for me.”

Anyway, they are all for absorption, not for alchemy, so they are all the same for Bai Ze.

“Yes, Young Master!”

A Fu carefully selected three heavenly materials and earthly treasures for Bai Ze, all suitable for his current stage of cultivation, and put them into a cloth bag for him.

There was no way around it, Bai Ze did not have a space ring or anything like that.

He was truly a bumpkin demon from the wilderness, lacking everything.

“Oh, right, Uncle A Fu.” Just as he was about to leave the warehouse, Bai Ze suddenly remembered, “I wonder when you will go to the human city at the foot of the mountain again?”

A Fu said, “This old servant will go down the mountain to make purchases this afternoon. What is it, Young Master? Do you want this old servant to bring you some good food?

The roasted duck from the Zhang family in the human county is superb.”

Bai Ze waved his hand, “I don’t want roasted duck. You know, Mother is determined to eat Tang Sanzang’s flesh.

As the saying goes, ‘Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.’

When you go to the county again, be sure to inquire about how long it will take for Tang Sanzang and his disciples to reach our White Tiger Ridge?”

Tang Sanzang and his disciples don’t travel fast, after all, Tang Sanzang is always dragging them down, and his disciples can only accompany him slowly.

Therefore, normal merchant caravans will arrive before Tang Sanzang.

Moreover, there are many wandering demons, or cultivators in the world, who travel even faster.

So, it should be possible to find out the speed of Tang Sanzang and his disciples’ journey down the mountain.

“Yes, this old servant will definitely gather intelligence for Young Master!” A Fu bowed to Bai Ze.

◈◈◈

Bai Ze left the warehouse with the cloth bag, and after telling Bai Fu Ren, he walked out of the cave dwelling.

Bai Fu Ren gave a look, and the corpse demons Hong Ling Luo and Hei Tuo Luo hurriedly followed.

Naturally, it was Hong Ling Luo in her red dress, and Hei Tuo Luo in all black.

“Young Master, where are you going? This servant can give you a ride,” Hong Ling Luo said.

Bai Ze also felt that his short legs were too slow, so he stopped and said, “Go to Dong Family Town at the foot of the mountain.”

Since Old Man Ying said that a great opportunity would happen there, and that a daughter of imperial nobility would descend.

Then, Bai Ze naturally had to understand the situation first.

What was so special about this Dong Family Town that would attract the descent of imperial nobility?

Any event that occurs in this world must have its reasons, with various karmic connections intertwined within.

“Yes, Young Master!”

Hong Ling Luo carried Bai Ze on her back, and then dashed through the dense forest, her speed as fast as a ghost.

Beside Hong Ling Luo was Hei Tuo Luo, all in black.

Just as Bai Ze and his group were rushing down the mountain, a shocking roar came from inside the Black Bear Monster’s cave dwelling.

“I can’t sense Xiong Xiaopi’s vitality anymore. Xiaopi must have met with misfortune!”

“Find him for me! I must find my son’s corpse!”

“If I find out who the murderer is, I will tear him into pieces!”

On this side, as expected, Hong Ling Luo’s speed was faster, and before long, Bai Ze arrived outside Dong Family Town.

Bai Ze said, “Sister Ling Luo, Uncle Tuo Luo, you wait for me here. I’ll go gather information myself!”

Bai Ze didn’t dare to let the two of them enter the town.

Because they were both corpses!

Hei Tuo Luo’s body was ugly and could scare people to death in broad daylight.

Although Hong Ling Luo was beautiful, that was only from afar. Up close, one would find that her eyes were dull, her skin was pale, and she had no color of blood.

That would also scare people!

On the contrary, Bai Ze and his mother were rare white bone demons who could freely condense their fleshly forms. Their body structures were no different from ordinary people, and they could completely live in the human world.

“Hoo…” Hei Tuo Luo let out a low growl, as if worried about Bai Ze’s safety.

Hong Ling Luo said, “How can this be good? Madam told us to protect you. What if you encounter danger after entering the human town?”

Bai Ze spun around in front of the two of them, “Look at me, I look like a human child.

Even if they are malicious, they wouldn’t attack such a cute child, right?”

Hong Ling Luo: “But… but humans are very vicious! I used to be a human and know their wickedness!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m not that vulnerable, and I’ll call you if I encounter danger.

It won’t be too late for you to come then!”

Bai Ze waved his hand and swaggered towards the human town in front of him.

The two corpse demons, Hong Ling Luo and Hei Tuo Luo, had no choice but to wait outside the town.

The fields were crisscrossed with paths, the seedlings were lush and green, and many old farmers were working in the fields.

Bai Ze found himself in the midst of a rural farming scene.

Chickens and ducks chased each other in the fields, and the big yellow dog at the village entrance barked from time to time. It was a peaceful and tranquil scene.

“Whose child is this? So fair and clean and so good-looking!”

“That’s right, there doesn’t seem to be such a good-looking child in our town!”

“Could he be from outside? Probably brought by some adult who’s visiting!”

The farmers on the road, carrying hoes, all praised Bai Ze.

The five or six-year-old child was just too adorable!

At this moment, Bai Ze felt a surge of power from under his feet. He stopped and looked at the ground.

He saw four words emitting white light from the ground: “”Powerful and Illustrious”.

Wasn’t this the stone tablet that suppressed evil in the town?

But this level of suppression could only defend against skeleton soldiers at most. Bai Ze was already a great demon, so it had no effect at all.

Bai Ze continued to walk forward when Old Man Ying’s words suddenly came, “There’s a problem with that ox plowing the field over there. That ox is actually a banished immortal!”

Bai Ze was shocked and quickly turned his gaze to an ox plowing the field not far away.

This small Dong Family Town actually had a banished immortal.

It seemed that there was indeed a reason for the future descent of the imperial noble fairy.

But no matter what the reason was, Bai Ze had to help his mother seize the soul of that fairy.

If he failed to seize the soul, then it would be difficult to protect his and his mother’s lives.
