Chapter 42: Prajna and Mustard Seeds

  Days passed one by one, and New Year's Day arrived.

  The Zhu family of five gathered together for a meal on their return to Divine Island.

  "Come, Fishy, have some meat. This is the flesh and blood of a pre-heavenly demon beast that Father killed on his way back from Yunmeng Ze. It's a great tonic..." Zhu Yanzi said with a flattering face to Zhu Yu.

  The carp put down its chopsticks: "I'm full, Zhu Tianting can eat some more. You need to keep that fat body of yours, it needs a lot of food!"

  He stood up and said: "You eat slowly, I'm going back to practice!"

  After finishing speaking, he didn't say another word and turned to leave, leaving Zhu Yanzi with an awkward face.

  Little Zhu Ling rolled her eyes and looked at Zhu Yu with a gaze full of admiration: "Big brother is just so awesome, Dad's bad temper, only he dares to do this. From childhood to adulthood, if she and Zhu Ting slightly disobeyed their father, they would definitely be severely punished, even suffering physical pain."

  "Wait a minute, little fish! I have something for you later!" Zhu Yanzi didn't get angry at all and still smiled.

  "What thing?" Zhu Yu furrowed his brow and stopped in his tracks, "What thing?"

  Zhu Yanzi burst out laughing and waved his hand, saying: "You sit down first, today is the New Year's Eve, a family reunion. No need to be so anxious! Cultivation also needs to have a balance between tension and relaxation, right?"

  The pig hesitated for a moment before finally plopping down on its buttocks.

  Zhu Yu didn't particularly like Zhu Yanzi, but in this day and age, who dares to have a feud with wealth?

  This time participating in the big comparison, Zhu Yu really spent a lot of money.

  Jade stone 100,000, and there is a heaven-defying life-saving treasure "Wan Sha Fei Nu", also has a top-secret book, Zhu Yu hasn't gone to choose yet.

  These things are simply dazzling to him who is used to a poor life.

  The carp now recalls the past year and doesn't even know how it passed?

  In a penniless day, I ended up going to Xianyuan Street to set up a street stall. Even so, I still owe a debt that's as big as my butt!

  A meal is finished.

  Zhu Yu followed Zhu Yanzi directly into the last courtyard of the mansion.

  Zhu Ting and Zhu Ling originally wanted to come in, but were scolded by Zhu Yanzi. The two little guys obviously didn't have the domineering air of Zhu Yu, and after being scolded by Zhu Yanzi, they didn't even dare fart, and scattered away dispiritedly like birds and beasts.

  In the backward mansion, the space is extremely large.

  The carp was attracted as soon as it went in.

  This... this place is simply a cultivation paradise!

  All kinds of cultivation facilities are available, all kinds of puppet arrays, trial fields are all here, sword practice and physical exercise, this is absolutely the best place to be.

  Moreover, the environment is particularly quiet and elegant, suitable for quiet cultivation and spiritual practice, it's also a good place.

  On the vast proving ground, an old turtle was resting like a small hill.

  The red fish and Zhu Yanzi came over, the old turtle immediately transformed into a human form, turning into a hunchbacked old man's appearance, respectfully saying: "Old master, young master..."

  He looked at Zhuyi deeply, his eyes showing no disguise of his admiration: "Old master, you should now believe that young master's skills are profound! Last time in Nanhai Temple, I almost got defeated by young master, you have given birth to a good son!"

  Zhu Yanzi nodded repeatedly, his eyebrows flying and his face flushed with excitement. He said: "Lao Gui, go to the family's scripture storage building and bring over a few of the highest-level sword manuals. Yu'er needs them! Don't worry, the master has already given the order!"

  "Yes!" The returning sword soared into the sky, transformed into a giant turtle, and quickly disappeared into thin air.

  Zhu Yanzi looked up and down at Zhu Yu, his expression becoming increasingly gentle. "Fish, this time you've obtained the family's 'Wan Sha Fei Nu', which is an extremely powerful killing treasure of our Zhu family that can pose a threat to pre-heavenly born spirits. For those below the pre-heavenly level, 'Wan Sha Fei Nu' can instantly kill them all! With this treasure on you, I can also be at ease!"

  The carp's eyes sparkled with delight.

  He had long known that the 'Wàn Shā Fēi Gōng' was formidable, and in the family's inventory, it was extremely rare. Generally, only high-level disciples who were executing special tasks would be temporarily lent one by the family as a precautionary measure.

  However, Zhu Yanzi said 'Wan Sha Fei Gu' can kill all cultivators below the Pre-Heavenly stage, and he was still very surprised.

  Does that mean that from now on, even if you encounter a "half-step into the Heavenly State" existence, you will have nothing to fear?

  For a moment, Zhu Yu felt better about Zhu Yanzi's appearance and thought that although this person looked...that way...it was actually not bad for himself.

  Zhu Yanzi said again: "Yu'er, in case of any unexpected event, your father will give you two more things!"

  Zhu Yanzi handed a Taoist robe to Zhu Yu: "This Taoist robe is the 'Golden Sand Taoist Robe', which was obtained by Father many years ago in the Demon Realm. It can't be broken by cultivators below the Pre-Heavenly stage, and it can save your life at critical moments!"

  His face straightened, and he said: "However, Yu'er, having a magic treasure to protect oneself is good, but for us cultivators, our cultivation will always be the most important safety guarantee. I'll give you this magic robe, just use it at critical moments, don't rely on it too much..."

  Zhu Yu took over the law robe and stuffed it into a storage bag, without listening to Zhu Yanzi's words at all.

  It's all nonsense, Zhu Yu doesn't care about this thing at all.

  Wearing this golden thing shining, like a target, besides the South China Institute has a ban, must wear formal robes, how could Zhu Yu possibly form dependence on this thing?

  The first thing wasn't great, but this thing sounds pretty rare, maybe it can be exchanged for money at a critical moment, so he didn't hesitate to put it in his pocket.

  Zhu Yanzi slightly furrowed his brow, then immediately broke into a smile: "This child is just like his mother..."

  His fingers moved lightly as he twirled them.

  There was an object like a goose egg stone in the palm of his hand, which was not big, slightly smaller than an egg.

  The color is dark gray, looking ordinary and unremarkable, without any magical aura, thrown into a pile of stones, absolutely no one would pay attention to it.

  However, Zhu Yanzi was unusually solemn, his hand gently stroking the stone, a somber expression on his face, extremely dignified and reluctant to part with it.

  The Vermilion Fish was also quickly attracted to this thing, and from Zhu Yan's expression, he knew that this thing was absolutely a treasure.

  Zhu Yanzi is a certain kind of person. He is actually an overbearing and proud cultivator who has entered the Void Realm, the supreme existence in Nanhai City.

  What could be so serious as to make him like this?

  As expected, after a long time, Zhu Yanzi said: "Yu'er, this thing is a treasure. You must cherish it, I have been sorry for you all these years, today I give you this treasure, as a token of my heart..."

  He stared at the red fish with piercing eyes: "Fish, you absolutely cannot show this treasure to anyone easily. If someone sees it, they will definitely bring disaster upon themselves. The principle of 'an innocent man being punished for possessing a precious jade' is something you should understand. Since you have this treasure on your body, I hope you can make good use of it and, with time, rapidly improve your cultivation to the point where you are worthy of this object."

  "What is this thing?"

  "This object is the 'Prajna Mustard Seed', an ancient treasure. The mustard seed contains Mount Sumeru, looking at it from a different perspective, it's just a small stone, but inside it's a whole world! If you possess this object, you'll have your own world. From now on, no matter where you go, your cultivation and trials will be unimpeded..."

  "Fish, look..." Zhu Yanzi slowly stretched out his hands:

  The red fish stared at Zhu Yanzi's palm, and Zhu Yanzi suddenly said: "Withdraw!"

  The training room's giant puppet sword array suddenly disappeared, and the unremarkable stone only flashed a hint of light before returning to its original state.

  The vermilion fish opened its big eyes and stared blankly, unable to speak a word, although it had been in the immortal realm for over a year.

  All sorts of magical treasures, and various rumors from the cultivation world are nothing new, but this thing...

  "Does this mean I'll have a training room with me wherever I go from now on?"

  "Moreover, if I were to encounter a huge crisis, wouldn't I be able to hide inside this mustard seed? That... that would make me invincible, right?"

  Zhu Yanzi smiled faintly: "Fish, go take a look!"

  The bream felt its eyes flash once, and then everything in front of it changed completely.

  A small bridge flows with water, houses are densely arranged in a neat and orderly manner.

  Cultivation room, trial field, refining chamber, puppet array, and even alchemy lab, casting house, etc. are all available.

  That huge puppet array just now is actually standing upright on the trial field, exceptionally eye-catching.

  "My goodness! Are these things all mine?"

  Although Ráo was a sophisticated and worldly person, he was shocked into staring blankly, but then a surge of wild joy welled up in his heart.

  This is too awesome, too unbelievable.

  Mustard seed-sized Mount Meru, I had only seen this kind of thing when watching mythological fantasy on Earth before.

  I didn't expect that such an outrageous thing actually existed in this world.

  One flower is one world, one grass is one world, indeed it's not in vain.

  The carp swims around like a child, this world is not very big, but it's several kilometers in circumference.

  Such a large space, all belongs to oneself, is enough, is enough!

  What he found most unbelievable was that there was actually a sun in the sky, along with blue skies and white clouds, and that it was identical to the outside world.

  He admired and sighed all the way, and it took him several hours to calm down his excited mood.

  "How can I get out?"

  He turned over his mind, and as soon as he thought of it, the scene changed again. Who was standing in front of him with a smile, if not Zhu Yanzi?

  Look around, this is not Bird Island, where else could it be?

  Zhu Yu was speechless for a long time, and after a while, he stuttered: "D...is this thing really given to me?"

  "Haha!" Zhu Yanzi burst out laughing, "You finally called me 'dad'! Of course I'll give it to you! Take it, and later I'll teach you all the ways to use it. From now on, you're the master of this thing!"

  Call for recommendation votes! More than half of the week has passed, and this week's results are not ideal. The key is that the data of point pushing has not reached the target. Brothers, don't hesitate, cast your votes!
