The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Lao Jun strode towards Bai Zhi, a joyful expression on his face.

Bringing Bai Zhi back was definitely the right choice. Just a few days later, Bai Zhi has already produced the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

"A stroke of good luck is nothing to be taken for granted, Master."

Bai Zhi humbly replied that she didn't know how the Nine-Turn Golden Pill was made either, and replicating it would probably not be so easy.

"Hehe, my disciple, do you know that luck is also an important part of cultivation? Without great luck, it is absolutely impossible to refine this pill."

Laozi walked to the alchemy furnace, picked up a golden pill, and examined it closely. He saw that the surface of the pill was delicate and smooth, like mutton fat jade, yet it also had an indescribable metallic texture.

Under the light, it shimmered with wisps of golden light, like countless tiny fragments of the sun embedded within.

Upon closer inspection, one can also see some mysterious patterns faintly emerging on the body of the pill, resembling the veins of mountains and rivers, or the trajectory of stars. These patterns are nine in total, and are exceptionally perfect.

"Excellent condition."

Lao Jun stroked his beard and said, "Even the pills I refine are sometimes not so perfect."

"However, since this is your first time refining this pill, you must still have many questions. I'll give you some pointers, which may help you take it a step further."

Previously, he had not taught Bai Zhi many things about the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in detail, mainly because Bai Zhi's elixir refining process was only at the 7th or 8th stage, and she had not even stabilized at the 8th stage yet. Teaching her the experience of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir would not help her, but rather harm her.

After all, they haven't even learned to walk yet, how can they start running?

But now, the time is ripe. With the breakthrough from 0 to 1, even if Bai Zhi doesn't understand many things, once you've done it the first time, the second time will be relatively easier.

Moreover, there was his meticulous guidance.

Just as Bai Zhi was about to agree, she heard someone outside the Tushita Palace calling out, "Little Bai, Little Bai, are you there?"

"That mischievous monkey is here again!!"

Lao Jun's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

My precious disciple has just refined the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, which is a good time to consolidate his learning. You yellow-haired monkey actually came over at such a critical moment. Aren't you deliberately going against him?

Besides, that mischievous monkey had just taken a Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill from him a few days ago, saying it was to bring some king back to life, and he even promised him not to bother Bai Zhi unless necessary.

Not long after, they came looking for someone again.

It seems my Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill has been wasted.

"Master...should I go out and take a look?"

Bai Zhi asked tentatively.

Laozi's breathing quickened for a moment, but he still nodded with a sour face.

After all, he knew that the monkey and Bai Zhi had a close relationship, and if he forcibly forbade Bai Zhi from helping, Bai Zhi would definitely be very unhappy.

If Bai Zhi's identity was that of his servant, then so be it. With his order, was there any room for rebuttal?

But Bai Zhi wasn't just some insignificant servant; she was his precious personal disciple.

He only has this one exceptionally talented child, so there's nothing we can do but spoil him.

This monkey stole my elixir and went back on its word. No, even though I let Bai Zhi go this time, this matter can't be left like this.

Watching Bai Zhi run away, Laozi took a deep breath and beckoned to Jinjiao.

“Child, come here and take these things to my ox. Tell him that when the pilgrim arrives, we will use these magical treasures to teach that rascal a lesson.”

Seeing the magical treasures that Laozi had pushed in front of him, Jinjiao gasped.

It seems my master is truly angry; the magic weapon that was just retrieved has been taken out again.

And this Immortal Binding Rope... have you really thought of a reason to cover it up?

Is it really okay that my belt keeps disappearing from my pants?

"Child, why are you still standing here?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, Master. I was thinking about my senior sister. Her talent is so extraordinary that I'm still too surprised to come to my senses."

Upon hearing this, Lao Jun stroked his beard and smiled, "Your reaction is quite normal. You should learn more from your senior sister Bai Zhi in the future."

Chapter 777 Old Deng, can you stop your somersault cloud at your Tushita Palace?

"Monkey, what happened to you again? Why are you all black?"

Outside the Tushita Palace, Bai Zhi looked at the monkey whose clothes were burned and torn to shreds with some surprise.

"Hey, stop talking."

The monkey looked gloomy. "Little White, you don't know, I met a little monster before. That little monster called himself the Holy Infant King, and his name was Red Boy."

"Oh~"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi nodded in understanding. She remembered that in the original story, Red Boy was almost killed by the Monkey King. The Samadhi True Fire and poisonous smoke directly broke through the Monkey King's defenses.

"Xiaobai, do you know?"

The monkey was somewhat surprised.

"Of course I know, he's the son of the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan."

Although many marketing accounts in her previous life claimed that Red Boy had a mysterious relationship with Laozi, Bai Zhi knew that it was all nonsense. The Samadhi True Fire used by Red Boy was not considered anything particularly powerful in the Three Realms.

It's even less likely that it could be related to Laozi, because the Six Ding Divine Fire used by Laozi is far stronger than the Samadhi True Fire.

"I didn't expect Xiaobai to know so much. That makes things simple. That Red Boy kidnapped that monk, and I'm going to find someone to rescue him now."

"Huh? Why?"

Now it was Bai Zhi's turn to be puzzled, because in the original story, the monkey was not so afraid of the Samadhi True Fire, but rather of Red Boy's poisonous smoke.

This is mainly because although the monkey's fiery eyes are very strong, they also leave a debuff, namely, a fear of smoke, which is mainly caused by being smoked in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

However, Bai Zhi remembered that this problem was eliminated with a horse talisman when the monkey was first born.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be unable to defeat Red Boy.

"Hey, Red Boy is holding a treasure that looks exactly like the fan that Golden Horn and Silver Horn used last time. With just a wave of that fan, I was blown to the ends of the earth."

"Moreover, when that Samadhi True Fire is blown out, combined with the fan, it's practically a fire tornado, which I can't withstand."

“Even Pigsy and Sandy were burned to a crisp, and our luggage was destroyed.”

The monkey poured out its grievances.

He'd rather encounter these celestial beings disguised as monsters now.

After all, these monsters transformed from gods at least have some bottom line. Many of them only focus on capturing monks, and once they win, they release them. Why make such a fuss?

"Oh?"

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. There seemed to be nothing wrong with this. The Banana Leaf Fan originally belonged to Princess Iron Fan, Red Boy's mother. It was perfectly normal for Red Boy to use it now.

"I remember you and that Bull Demon King were sworn brothers, right? What, now that nephew doesn't recognize you anymore?"

Bai Zhi asked, suppressing a laugh.

"Don't even mention it. As soon as I said I was that old ox's sworn brother, that brat got even angrier. He said that the old ox goes to the vixen all day long and doesn't care about his mother. It's all because of us fair-weather brothers."

The monkey looked completely innocent; this had nothing to do with him, and he didn't know any fox spirits.

"Where are your seventy-two transformations? Go and transform into his father to deceive him."

"Hey, I've tried it before. I was careless and he noticed, and I ended up with a terrible fever. I almost got skinned alive."

The monkey grimaced, clearly very dissatisfied with his performance.

"So, you've come to beg me?"

"hey-hey."

The monkey smiled sheepishly, "I was originally thinking of going to find Guanyin Bodhisattva, but then I felt that it would make me look like a little demon with no ability to find a Bodhisattva."

"Hmm, shy, huh? So you're not afraid to come to me?"

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at the monkey, amused.

"How can that be the same? Xiaobai, what's your relationship with me? Even if you really make fun of me, I can take it. But I can't stand it if it's anyone else."

"Is this your reason for coming to see my disciple?"

Lao Jun suddenly appeared behind the monkey, his tone carrying a chilling undercurrent.

"You impudent monkey, do you remember what you promised me before?"

The monkey was startled by the old man and almost punched him.

"You old man, don't scare people like that."

Laozi's expression was rather unpleasant. "You came to see her for such a trivial matter? What about the things you promised me before?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Seeing Laozi's sour face, the monkey knew perfectly well that he had probably really angered the old man.

He felt a little guilty when he recalled his vow to obtain the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill to save the King of Wuji.

This old man is not easy to deal with; he's not on the same level as those empty-headed, powerless generals.

He didn't want to get hit by that diamond bracelet again.

"Old immortal, don't worry. You see, my master is indeed powerless and has been kidnapped by a monster, so I came up here to find someone to rescue him."

"As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. My master is a good person for ten lifetimes. He has accumulated so much merit by saving a life. This is also accumulating merit for Xiaobai."

The monkey rolled its eyes and said.

Even Laozi, the Supreme Lord, was amused by this mischievous monkey's remarks.

That monk was indeed a good person for ten lifetimes, and given the events in Journey to the West, saving him would indeed accumulate some merit. But that little bit of merit might be considered quite good for ordinary immortals, which is why many immortals were willing to help.

Earning extra money is nothing to be ashamed of.

However, given the sheer number of vows and aspirations Bai Zhi carries, there is absolutely no need for her to earn these things.

Moreover, Bai Zhi is his disciple, Laozi. As long as he is willing, he can quickly arrange a lot of merits for Bai Zhi.

He's really annoyed by this monkey right now.

"Cough cough, Master, it's alright. After all, lives are at stake. That Red Boy didn't know his own strength and was quite powerful. Even the guardian deities might not be able to save Tang Sanzang's life. It's good that I'm going."

“My disciple, do you know that once you have an epiphany, you must strike while the iron is hot? You have just refined this Nine-Turn Golden Pill, and now is the best time to consolidate it.”

"Master, please believe me!"

Bai Zhi tugged at Lao Jun's sleeve playfully.

"Sigh... Alright, alright, go if you want."

Laozi looked utterly helpless. Bai Zhi had begged him so much; what else could he do?

We can't just force Bai Zhi to stay here and listen to the lecture.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Hehe, thank you very much, old immortal."

The monkey was overjoyed and summoned the Somersault Cloud.

Faced with the monkey's thanks, Laozi remained silent with a cold expression.

He felt as if the monkey had stopped its somersault cloud in front of him and was mocking him, saying, "Hey, old man, stop teaching me those useless things. Your precious apprentice doesn't like listening to you. He just wants to go out and play with me."

Chapter 778 The Greatly Enhanced Green Ox

"I always feel a chill down my spine."

The monkey mounted its somersault cloud and flew away from the Tushita Palace with Bai Zhi on its back, but it felt as if something sharp was staring at it from behind, making it feel cold all over.

"Be careful, your master might come after you."

Bai Zhi replied with a smile.

"Hey, don't worry, that old man can't possibly kill me. I'm on a pilgrimage now, not like when I wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace. He has no reason to make a move."

The monkey patted its chest, looking confident.

He could see that Laozi was unwilling, but since the old man didn't make a move immediately, it meant he wouldn't really do anything to him.
