Chapter Sixteen: The Spiritual Treasure Appears, Everyone Rushes Up

  "Master, I'm so angry with you, waaah! Master is so mean, it's been such a long time since you came back. Even Shi Zhong has grown crooked teeth." Faint, growing crooked teeth is also my fault, haha, Zhou Cheng really experienced Xiao Yu's clever skills.

  "Alright, alright, it's all Master's fault. Shi Zhong's tooth decay is also Master's fault. Master is not right, isn't this a loss? Zhou Chenghua hugged the two little ones and gently stroked their hair, still sighing with regret that in his past life he didn't have the chance to raise several children. Alas, if it weren't for Uncle Goodheart's push, I reckon I would also have had a large group of descendants."

  "Master, look, these years I've trained the East Sea Brocade Carp you gave me into eight dragons, just one more and we can make up the 99 number, to make that Nine Dragon Sinking Fragrance Brush." Zhou Cheng saw the clear and peaceful lake with several dragons flying in the air, bowing from afar, and nodded his head.

  "Master, although, actually, because, originally I..." Shi Zhong lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhou Cheng. He indeed wasn't doing well enough, his magical powers and cultivation were far behind those of his master's sister.

  "Alright, alright, it doesn't matter how much you train, after all, it's yours to own. Take your time, sooner or later, the remaining East Sea Brocade Carp will rise with the wind and transform into a dragon. It's not about transforming early, but about transforming well. You should know that there is no before or after in achieving the Tao, only those who attain it are considered first." Zhou Cheng had always believed that being natural was good, although he couldn't expect his disciples to be like him, what needed to be taught still had to be taught, a master leads you into the door, but cultivation depends on the individual, no half-heartedness allowed.

  "What the master teaches is indeed correct." "The teacher's great way!"

  "Alright, no need for this. Xiao Yu, Shi Zhong, I've brought back two companions for you." Zhou Cheng held onto Xiao Yu with one hand and pulled Shi Zhong with the other. "This is Bai Meng, that's his wife Bai Lu. From now on, they'll be your mounts." Zhou Cheng said as he observed Bai Meng and his wife's reaction, but the couple remained calm and bowed in unison: "Greetings, Second Brother and Sister."

  "As a master, I have something to say first. Bai Meng and his wife, although they are your mounts and accompany you on both sides, don't humiliate them in front of others. They also have a predestined relationship with me as nominal disciples. This time, I'm giving them to you two, but actually, it's for these two shallow little things to find a housekeeper." Zhou Cheng paused and said, "In my school, one can kill people and set fires, but if anyone fights with their fellow disciples, kills each other, or bullies the weak and deceives the good, I will not consider the master-disciple relationship and expel them from the school." Being a bad person also requires taste, you can't be an enemy of the masses. Zhou Cheng likes to bully people, but not ordinary people, only those who bully others. The great way is selfless, let him, Zhou Cheng, be selfish for once, determined to eliminate those arrogant elements, if heaven doesn't collect them, I, Zhou Cheng, will."

  "The teacher's great kindness, saved our lives, even if it's just a ride, there's no complaint at all, only...only..." Bai Meng said with some stuttering, really didn't know how to start. Zhou Cheng wanted wasn't purely a means of transportation, if that was the case, then it would be better off as a motorcycle from later generations. A forced melon isn't sweet, and one still has to guard against being thrown off by the ride. He took in the two of them, but more than half of it was for the reason of protecting the two small things."

  "What's on your mind, just say it all, and I'll consider responding accordingly."

  "We may be willing to serve as mounts, but I hope the master will have mercy on my unborn child and make arrangements." Bai Lu said, looking at her husband's hesitant speech, and immediately twisted Bai Meng's arm, not caring about his distorted face.

  "Alright, so be it. I'll just have to make an exception for you. Your child, thanks to the help of that jade pearl, will surely be born with exceptional talent after a thousand years of gestation. When the child is born, you two can become my disciples and not just ordinary followers. As for your younger son, if fate permits, I'll take him in as well." Zhou Cheng was quite lazy about taking on too many disciples, couldn't guarantee quality that way, and didn't want to take in so many anyway. Even if ten thousand immortals came to pay respects, what could they do? When disaster strikes, everyone flees on their own, the key is still one's character.

  "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master..." Bai Meng and his wife knew that Zhou Cheng was very fierce, extremely fierce. They had not expected that Zhou Cheng would accept a young apprentice, and the two of them deeply understood that he was thin-skinned. They only hoped that either Xiao Yu or Shi Zhong could become the young master's teacher. As for themselves, they were already content with being able to be part of the same sect. Throughout the entire Qingqiu Mountain, there were thousands upon tens of thousands of demons, yet not a single one had been accepted as an apprentice by Master.

  "White Meng and two others followed me, Xiao Yu and Shi Zhong. These are the rare items that Master and your fellow disciples have collected while traveling through the vast wilderness: exotic flowers and grasses, precious birds and beasts, as well as ordinary magical artifacts. Take them away, plant and raise them yourself, or give them to someone else, it's up to you." Zhou Cheng threw out a small pouch and sighed, "The world is indeed strange, others give gifts to their masters, but I always end up giving gifts to my disciples."

  "Thank you, Master," Shi Zhong said, blocking his master's way. "The apprentice still has one more thing to ask of the master."

  "What's wrong?"

  "I think Qingqiu Mountain has been closed for thousands of years, and we haven't gone out either. However, some monsters can't stand the loneliness and want to go out for a walk. Alas... alas..." Shi Zhong looked at his master and saw that he didn't change his expression, so he continued, "Alas, they can't go out. My sister and I don't dare to take them out recklessly either."

  "Yes, it's also because of the teacher's lack of consideration."

  Zhou Cheng walked slowly to the side of the stone steps on the mountain, opened his mouth and said: "You all want to go out of the mountain in the future, just ask for Bamboo Language and Stone Zhong, they will take you out." He paused for a moment, "However, you have to consider whether you can come back alive after going out." Zhou Cheng didn't say much more, his words would be heard by all the spirits on Qingqiu Mountain, anyway he had kindly reminded them, if they went out and accidentally got themselves killed, it had nothing to do with him. A small part of the creatures in the mountain were moved by what Zhou Cheng said, thinking that since they had made rapid progress in their cultivation after listening to Zhou Cheng's teachings, they should go out and see the wonders of the world. But they ignored the second half of his sentence. However, many people understood the last sentence, shivered with fear, and gave up the idea of going out of the mountain, only hoping to achieve success in their cultivation as soon as possible. Among these people, there were more foxes.

  In the thatched hut, Zhou Cheng sat cross-legged on the couch, while Bai Meng and others sat on the straw mat on the ground, curiously sizing up this small thatched hut, and sighed in their hearts: The teacher is indeed a man of great virtue.

  "I won't hide it from you either, my cultivation is indeed very high. This time I let the two of you in, not for anything else, but because later on you two will need to take care of your fellow disciples, and your cultivation seems a bit insufficient. So I'll help you out this time." Zhou Cheng thought for a long time, his face twisted in pain as he thought left and right, finally making up his mind.

  Bai Meng and his companion were delighted as soon as they heard that something good had happened. However, when they saw the master's appearance, they couldn't bear it either.

  "Master, if it's inconvenient, then don't consider us two, we will fight to the death to protect our fellow disciples." The two said sincerely.

  "Haha, nothing's wrong, the teacher is just a bit... that, hehe..." Zhou Cheng's old face turned slightly red as he slowly opened his right hand, revealing two grains of radiant dan medicine lying in his palm. They were spinning around, emitting visible purple misty smoke. These were indeed the Chaos Pills refined by Zhou Cheng using the Qiankun Ding, made from the Chaos Fruits that only ripened once every 100,000 years. Only ten pills had been produced this time, and the next batch would have to wait another 100,000 years.

  The two Bai Mengs heard this, their pores opening wide, as if the scorching sun of a cold winter was shining on them, and the withered trees were being irrigated by sweet rain. The cultivation that had not moved for years suddenly showed a subtle trend of improvement. The two were shocked at once, what kind of treasure was this?

  "This is the Chaos Pellet, and I've only given you a few grains. Today, I'm giving it to you, which is a blessing. After absorbing the medicinal effect, Bai Meng should be able to reach the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and Bai Lu should be able to reach the initial stage of Golden Immortal. With the help of this pellet, future struggles will be easier. The fetus in Bai Lu's womb has the protection of the Yuanshu Pearl, so even if there is a struggle before giving birth, it won't be affected." Zhou Cheng had finally made a move, and he wasn't unwilling to give the two small Chaos Pellets, but he wanted them to undergo more tempering. "In the future, when you two have a struggle, just take charge, don't let others take care of you."

  "Thank you, Master, for your great kindness." Since the couple followed Zhou Cheng, they felt that the sky had become bluer and the road had become smoother. Good things were coming to them one after another, as if they were lining up at their doorstep. The two secretly vowed to protect their fellow disciples with their lives.

  Zhou Cheng was about to say something, but suddenly his face changed color, he pinched his hand and calculated, and suddenly understood. "You all retreat for now, and follow the two Shifu in the future."

  It turned out that Zhou Cheng suddenly felt the primordial energy of heaven and earth fluctuating, and the heavenly machine was also in a state of confusion. After calculating it, he found that a spiritual treasure had appeared in the world. Such a grand occasion must be an extraordinary object. It just so happened that during the chaotic era, several magical artifacts went missing, and Zhou Cheng thought to himself, "Why not try my luck?" He immediately left Qingqiu Mountain, shook his body, and transformed back into his original ordinary appearance. With one step, he disappeared into the void.

  Kunlun Mountains, Sanqing Cave.

  "Huh!!!" The old man who was meditating with his eyes closed suddenly opened them, his face full of surprise. He immediately began to calculate with his fingers. The two people beside him also woke up at the same time, looked at the old man, and followed suit in calculating.

  "Master brother, it seems like this time is a great opportunity." Tongtian couldn't help but get excited. Yuanshi was also looking at Laozi with an inquiring gaze.

  "I suppose you two have also calculated that the Spiritual Treasure has been born, and this time it is related to me with some fate. However, the Heavenly Way is not clear, and it seems vague. The two of you don't need to say more, just go and you will understand." The old man immediately took the two disciples out of Kunlun Mountain.

  Western Paradise, Dragon Mountain's Pool of Merit

  "Junior brother, you've arrived." The host sat on the platform, looking at Zhun Ti with a face full of anxious color.

  "Brother, you can't not come." "Well, in that case, we'll go and take a look too." The two of them stood up and flew towards the Eastern Land.

  Nüwa Palace. "Elder brother, I already know your intention, let's go together, let's go together."

  Dong Huang Palace, Emperor Jun and Dong Huang sat on it, and also became the demon emperor. Two rows of demons stood below. Kun Peng flashed out: "My emperor still needs to plan early, this time the spiritual treasure is born, don't let that witch tribe seize the opportunity." Now the demon tribe is wary of the witch tribe, although there are a few powerful people in the Zixiao Palace who have heard the way. But Dong Huang and Emperor Jun relied on their magical treasures and didn't put those people in their eyes at all. It was that witch tribe's twelve ancestor witches that made people headache.

  "Big brother, let's not discuss this anymore. We'll bring the Heavenly Star Great Formation next week and that little scoundrel will be powerless." Dong Huang and Di Jun shared a mutual understanding, then nodded in unison and set off on their journey.

  Houtu Palace, the twelve ancestral witches gathered together. Gonggong waved his arm and roared fiercely: "Still want to discuss? With my twelve ancestral witches laying down the Twelve Heavenly God Killing Array, no matter how many demonic clowns fill the sky, they will all be finished."

  Zhurong glared at Gonggong with disgust: "You fool, wake up! We have the Tianyi Formation, and the demon clan has the Xingdou Formation. They won't let you slaughter them at will."

  "You..." Gonggong saw Zhu Rong again and opposed himself, suddenly furious, pounced on him to reason with him. Water and fire are incompatible, it is indeed a righteous principle.

  The Emperor Jiang, who was beside them, feared that the two would quarrel and stood up to intervene, saying: "You two brothers should not speak too much, let's see how Hou Tu arranges things." The crowd felt that Hou Tu was becoming more and more reasonable and knowledgeable about the mysteries of heaven, and they began to look up to her as their leader.

  "It's not too much trouble, just that the Eastern Emperor's Bell and the River Chart Luo Book are a bit of a hassle, requiring careful handling. This time it's crucial, absolutely can't let the Witch Clan steal that transcendent treasure again." Hou Tu obtained a part of Pangu's original spirit, and his body underwent many changes. The heavenly machinery that he had previously been confused about gradually became clear. He also didn't know what kind of thing that nameless Daoist had given him.

  The witch tribe set off together, a large group of witches on their way.
