Chapter 76: Butcher Immortal's Cleaver Strikes Black Brick

  In front of the two armies, facing the holy man Zuantidao, Huang Shiran was shocked but unharmed and managed to escape with his life.

  Lu Yao was heartbroken for his disciple, and he couldn't rest until he had fixed him. He returned to the camp, found a quiet large tent, spent twenty or thirty six-turn golden elixirs, and also spent a burst of Lu Yao's own immortal energy, before finally restoring Huang Shiren to his original state.

  Wukong and Zhuzi also benefited from it. Originally, their injuries were not too serious. After Lu Yadao's treatment for a day, the two idiots suddenly recovered and became energetic.

  "Hey, Shi Ren, don't you have many magical treasures on hand?" Seeing that Huang Shi Ren had more or less recovered, the master and apprentice sat on the ground chatting, while Wukong and Zhu Ziren stood behind them with respect.

  "Master, what do you mean? Are you going to skin me alive? This is outrageous! As a master, you're supposed to guide your apprentice, not fleece them. Don't you feel ashamed?" Huang Shiren hastily covered his money bag.

  Lu Chongwei was so frustrated that he couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time: "Am I that incompetent?!"

  "That's good." Huang Shiran rolled his eyes.

  "That lotus platform is not bad." Lu Ya said again.

  "I knew you had your eyes on my lotus platform. Master, I risked my life to get this lotus platform from Tongtian, and suffered all kinds of hardships, I won't give it to you."

  "You scoundrel! What I mean is that such a good thing has been messed up by you, it's really a waste of heaven's gift!"

  "Look, your true face is showing!"

  "Go! What use is this thing to me? I'm saying, if you slightly improve this lotus platform, it can increase some power." Lu Ya said.

  Huang Shiren immediately grabbed Lu Yadao's hand and said, "Good Master, tell me, how can we do it?"

  These twenty-four Zhuxian lotus platforms are the most lifesaving things for Huang Shiren. If it wasn't for this platform to withstand most of the power of Zhuque's strike, he would have died long ago.

  Unfortunately, this object is an innate spiritual treasure, but it has not yet matured and taken shape. Ordinary people are fine, but facing a saint, it's absolutely impossible. This time, I've provoked Zhu Ti, and in the future, when we meet again, the other party will definitely strike with deadly force. If I can increase its power a bit, that would be great.

  "This chaotic Qinglian's background, I'm very clear about. This lotus platform, although its power is not as strong as the other four platforms for now, but if given time, it will surely surpass them by a big margin, which is also why Lian Yuan and others want to get it so badly." Lu Ya said with a smile: "If you want this lotus platform to be solid, then you need to refine it."

  "I've refined it! The two paths of Tai Xiao and Zi Fu are both genuine thunder paths that resonate with a loud hum!"

  "Bullshit! Although the Taixu Purple Mansion is incredibly powerful, that's an attacking technique, not the world's number one refining technique."

  "Master, I ask you, what is the number one thing in the world that can be refined and transformed?"

  Haha! Lu Ya heard this and burst out laughing.

  "You're selling me a bill of goods, I'm going to go find an accurate one to apprentice with!"

  "You scoundrel!" Lu Ya glared at Huang Shiren, and said with a hint of pride: "This world's number one refined and transformed thing is naturally my master's Li Huo's essence!"

  Geez, I almost forgot!

  Lu Yao's Daoist skills are the essence of fire, and his mastery of fire is unparalleled in this world. Even Hong Jun might not be able to surpass him.

  "Good Master, my life is now in your hands! Please grant me some Departing Fire Essence quickly, I don't need much, just 3,000 strands will do!"

  "Die!" Lu Ya said, his face turning pale with rage: "Damn it, I'm the essence of fire, this is my true form, and in reality, I only have three thousand Dao! If I lose one Dao, I'll lose a part of my life. You want three thousand Dao? Just kill me then!"

  "Oh, Master, I didn't know your secrets. Alright, give me a thousand then!"

  "Get out! Three moves, at most three moves! It would take me 10,000 years to refine just one move!"

  "Fifty strokes!"

  "Impossible! Five Ways!"

  "Thirty strokes!"

  "Ten strokes! Can't be any less! Otherwise I'll go find Master Ti Bao!"

  "You scoundrel!" Lu Ya was truly regretful. Wasn't this like moving a rock to crush his own foot? He sighed and from the Heavenly Spirit, separated ten strands of Departed Fire essence, shooting them into Huang Shi Ren's body.

  Huang Shiren only felt that the ten strands of fire essence entering his body were just like being surrounded by flames, making him feel as if he was sitting in a pool of molten lava!

  One strand of fire essence requires a master like Lu Ye to spend ten thousand years cultivating, and now there are ten strands, which means one hundred thousand years! The power contained within is unimaginable! This is absolutely no less than a congenital spiritual treasure!

  "Shi Ren, in the future, use more of the fire of separation to refine and transform the Lotus Platform. With time, the power of this platform will surely increase greatly. When you see Zhun Ti, it's possible that you'll be able to withstand even ten or eight times more."

  "I understand, I will definitely practice hard, otherwise I would be letting my master down."

  "Good boy. I'm asking you, how's your Golden Body training going?"

  "It's all over!"

  "Three moves? Not bad. But still not enough. Others can raise a child and you're almost unable to take care of yourself."

  "You think I don't want to?! The Three Turns of Golden Body is something I cultivated using the Tai Xiao and Zi Fu two thunder methods, but thinking about upgrading it now is just not working out."

  "You fool! Didn't I just give you the essence of the fire a moment ago?!"

  "Isn't that for refining the Lotus Platform!?"

  "Damn it! Refining my body with the essence of the Departed Flame is the most refreshing thing!"

  "Really?!"

  "Give it a try, and you'll be thrilled! This is far more exciting than any Three Flavours True Fire!"

  "Alright. I'll give it a try. If you cheat me, I'll find Ti Bao Shi!"

  "Damn it!"

  Two scoundrels chattered on and on, and Lu Yi got up and was about to leave.

  "Master, wait, I have something else to say!" Huang Shiren sneered and grabbed Lu Ya.

  "No spiritual treasures! No magical pills! Besides, I've already gotten you ten 7-Revolution Golden Pills just now! Shi Ren, you need to put in some hard work. With these ten 7-Revolution Golden Pills and your cleverness, breaking through the Mahāyāna shouldn't be a problem." Lu Ya saw Huang Shi Ren's smile and tightened his fist.

  This guy is too ruthless!

  "Master, I don't want your Golden Elixir." Huang Shiren's words made Lu Ya feel a sense of relief.

  He hadn't even finished speaking when Huang Shiren pointed at Wukong and said: "Wukong, come here and kowtow to your master!"

  "Wukong has seen the founder!" Wukong was clever and saw that Huang Shiren was like this, knowing that his master wanted to give him a good deal, he knelt down in front of Lu Zhi with a plop.

  "Ancestor?!" Lu Ya was also stunned.

  "Master, Wukong is my second disciple, and I have an elder disciple named Yuan Hong who didn't come out with me this time. Master, since you're meeting Wukong for the first time, shouldn't you give him a gift to mark the occasion?" Huang Shiren said with wide eyes.

  Lu Zhi looked at Wukong, seeing that this disciple was a born anomaly, and he was also delighted. He thought to himself: "I originally had no one by my side, I took in Huang Shiren as a disciple, and now I have two more disciples, it's really flourishing!"

  "Wukong, Master, I came in a hurry this time. The good treasures were all taken away by that scoundrel of a master of yours. It's really..." Lu Yi wanted to give some, but his pockets were empty and he was too embarrassed.

  "Master, this is not like you! My master only has two disciples, and since my senior brother is not here, that's fine. But this is the first time I've met you in person, and you're not giving me anything - isn't that unreasonable?" Monkey King poked fun at Lu Zhishen, making the face of the number one wandering immortal turn red with embarrassment.

  Zhū zǐ zhēn zài hòu mian gè lè! Wǒ cā, hěn shì shàng liáng bù zhèng xià liáng wāi, zhè zǔ sūn sān dài, yī ge bǐ yī ge jiàn, yī ge bǐ yī ge huì guā dì pí! Zhēn nǎi tiān xià qí guān!

  Translation:

  Zhuzi is really enjoying this show! Oh my, it's a case of the beam above being crooked and the beam below being slanted. This three generations of ancestors and descendants are each more despicable than the last, each one more skilled at flattering and bootlicking! Truly a wonder of the world!

  Lu pressed his head down and thought for a while, then said: "I'll pass on the Nine Turns Xuan Method to you, how about it?"

  "Come on! Master has already passed it down to me!"

  "Oh. Then I'll pass on to you the Five Thunder True Method?"

  "This move will be taught to me by Master later. Ancestor, hurry up and get me some good stuff!" Monkey King shouted.

  What bad luck! Lu Ya is really going to cry now.

  "Wukong, I have a brick here, take it." Lu Yi reached into his bosom and handed something to Wukong.

  "Master, you can't even lift a brick! You're really useless!" Monkey King saw the unimpressive brick and waved his hand dismissively.

  "Wukong, put it away!" Huang Shiren saw the brick, shining with red light and infinite killing intent, knew it was a good treasure, and hurriedly let Wukong collect it.

  "This thing, I got it from the dog day of Tai Shang Lao Jun. It's the bottom of his eight trigrams furnace, extremely solid, not inferior to your master's golden finger, and also contains the three true fires of the eight trigrams furnace. When used in battle, its power is boundless! The Knocking Mallet is excellent!" Lu Ya explained.

  "Wukong, look at how much your master cares for you. He even gave you the Golden Brick of Heaven!" This kind of hidden weapon would make even Huang Shiren jealous.

  "Thanks, Master!" Monkey heard this and was overjoyed. He brought the golden brick over, weighed it, and secretly marveled: No wonder it's the treasure that the Venerable East pressed under his furnace - at least 10,000 catties! This Black Rooster is really awesome!

  "Alright, I'm leaving!" Lu Ya hurriedly wanted to slip away.

  "Hold on, Master! You've forgotten, you still have a great-grandson!" Huang Shiren exclaimed.

  Lu Xie saw that things were really hopeless and sighed, pulling out an object from his sleeve.

  Only seeing this thing, the board bench surface is wide two fingers long, cold light flashing, it's a pig killing vegetable knife!

  "Huang Shiren, you're really something! 'Master, you're too muddled!' I won't mention the brick you gave Wukong earlier. But now, with a flourish of your waist, out comes a kitchen knife! Do you think you can start a revolution with just one kitchen knife? Do you think I'll put up with being called a 'national hero'?! How ridiculous! I'm too lazy to bother with you!"

  Lu Yao raised his hand and slapped Huang Shiren, who spun around like a top, angrily shouting: "You wicked disciple! This is the ancestral treasure of Emperor Jiang, the Heaven-Slaying Knife, used to slaughter sacrifices for the heavens! Although it's a post-heavenly treasure, its power is almost comparable to some pre-heavenly spiritual treasures! Don't belittle it!"

  "Want! Want!" Huang Shiren heard and quickly took over!

  What a person Di Jiang is! He's the most powerful one among the top ten ancestral witches, and the sacrifices he uses for slaughter are all exotic beasts from the Desolate Expanse. This knife is awesome!

  Huang Shiren looked at the vegetable knife in his hand and then looked at the brick in Wukong's hand, and chuckled.

  Girl, rumors in Jianghu: you again **, brick tiles fall down, you again bull, kitchen knife chops the bull! Today my cheap master is sending both bricks and knives, it seems that in the future, our three masters will be walking horizontally in the Jianghu of the gods!

  "Disciple, I have something urgent to attend to, I really must leave!" Lu Ya had finally managed to get his hands on a precious treasure, but this time he was swindled by Huang Shi-ren and couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly made a run for it.

  "Wait!"

  "What's going on here! You just said there were only two disciples!" Lu Ya was furious.

  "Who says there are only two!?" Huang Shiren sneered: "I still have one!"

  "Nonsense! Stop trying to cheat me!"

  "It's true, that one hasn't been born yet, but in three to five years, you'll have another disciple! Master, the betrothal gift is also settled."

  Lu Yao saw that he didn't seem to be lying, his head shaking like a rattle drum: "No more tricks! Really none! Disciple, spare my life!"

  "Come here! I just saw you taking out the vegetable knife, and there was a shiny wheel inside. What is that?!" Huang Shiran shouted.

  Damn it! How did this guy become so sharp?!

  "No way, I gave it away as a gift!"

  "Who are you sending? Who is more precious than your apprentice?! Oh, I see, you're sending your lover!" Huang Shiren's words made Lu Ya's old face turn red.

  "Disciple, I owe him an apology. I've found a suitable magical treasure for his little disciple, so you don't need to intervene, okay?" Lu Ya was almost pleading.

  "Master, you mentioned a little disciple, isn't it a chubby little kid called Ling Zhu Zi?"

  "How did you know?!" Lu Ya was shocked.

  "What a coincidence! I'll tell you, this third disciple of yours is actually the Spirit Pearl."

  "I don't believe it!"

  "Master, listen to me and I'll tell you, it's like this... " Huang Shiren told Lü Dongbin about the Female Jade Emperor entrusting him with bringing the Lingzhu down to the mortal world for reincarnation, and Lü Dongbin was also taken aback.

  "Master, give this thing to me, and when your grandson is born, I'll give it to him. Also, I'll put in a good word for you with the mistress, okay?"

  "This is what you said!"

  "When did I ever cheat you!"

  "Good!" Lu Ya said, and from his bosom he took out that object and handed it to Huang Shi-ren.

  All I see is this object, which consists of two golden wheels, one black and one white, with flames flickering and winds swirling.

  "Master, what is this thing?"

  "I got it from Haotian. It's called Fenghuo Lun." Lu Ya said honestly.

  "You've bullied your way all the way to Heaven!"

  "Dog fart Tian Ting, Hao Tian asked me to play with him, lost a game to me, and used this as the stake." Lu Ya said frankly.

  "Master, when are you going to teach me that gambling trick of yours? I also want to win the treasure!"

  "That's no good! I can't teach you bad things."

  "I'm not afraid of evil, just a small gamble to ease my mood."

  "No way! It was because I couldn't quit this back then that he got annoyed with me!"

  "It's just a gamble, what's the big deal?"

  Lu Yi heard this and sighed: "Originally it was nothing, but that time I used her as a bet and lost."

  "My goodness! Master, you're too much! Someone has deep feelings for you, how can you be like this?! If I were him, I'd chop you up!" Huang Shiren heard these words and was so angry he wished he could chop Lu Ya to pieces.

  "Alas! I was young back then! Without cunning and deceit, how would I have known I'd lose!"

  "Hong Jun!? Master, tell me about those things from your past!"

  "I've said too much! I'd rather die than say another word! I'm out of here!" Lu Yao's face turned bright red as he ran away in a hurry.

  It seems that there are many interesting stories behind my cheap master's back.

  Looking at Lu Ya's disheveled figure, his thin figure, Huang Shi-ren also felt a warmth in his heart.

  He was rude to Lu Ya, but in his heart, he had utmost respect for his master!

  Master, I wish you eternal peace and prosperity, forever vigorous and healthy. Also, may you win the heart of that lady, nothing is more beautiful than a sunset glow!

  "Wukong, call Wen Zhong over." Huang Shiren said after putting away the treasure.

  "What's going on with Wang Zhong?"

  "Of course it's about how to deal with Yuan Futong!" Huang Shiran laughed.

  Yuan Futong, Yuan Futong! This time, I'll make sure you die without a place to be buried! @@@ Second update is up. Another 4,000 words! Will there be a third update? Hehe, it all depends on your enthusiasm! Please collect and recommend more, thank you!
