When Chi Buddha saw this, he struggled to break free, but was immediately subdued by the combined force of the Red-Gold Twin Hammers Xian and the Black-Robed Xian.
Observing the situation, the Obsessed Buddha was about to struggle when he was immediately subdued by the combined efforts of the Golden Immortal with Twin Crimson Hammers and the Black-Robed Golden Immortal.
Shui Miao did not leave. Instead, his eyes darting shrewdly, he approached the White-Robed Golden Immortal and put on an act of fear and timidity, saying, “Great Immortal, I was killed by this thousand-year female ghost, and now only a wisp of my soul remains. Could you give me a chance to personally take revenge and kill her? If not, at least let me give her a beating!”
Shui Miao feigned a foolishly naive appearance.
In front of these arrogant immortals, his tactic was perfectly executed.
Immortals, lofty and superior, generally held pity for pitiable mortal weaklings.
Hearing Shui Miao’s words, the White-Robed Golden Immortal frowned and said, “Your soul is so weak that even a ray of sunlight could dissipate it. Don’t bother beating her. Later, I’ll take you to the Ninth Heaven to become a Daoist attendant.”
“I don’t want to be an immortal attendant. I want to kill her! She killed my entire family. I must kill her!” Seeing his act was working, Shui Miao amped up his performance, even pretending to be on the verge of tears.
“Ah! How pitiful!”
The White-Robed Golden Immortal shook his head. “Alright, alright, I’ll let you beat her up.”
“Can’t I kill her?”
Shui Miao frowned, pretending to be unsatisfied.
Amused by his naivety, the White-Robed Golden Immortal smiled faintly. “Be content. She’s a major criminal of the immortal realm—even we dare not kill her. You sure aim high, little one. What’s your name?”
“I’m called Little Fool. Everyone calls me that.” Shui Miao sighed, crouched down, and looked at the White-Robed Golden Immortal with a childish tone. “Big brother, who are all of you? I want to know your names. When I become capable someday, I’ll repay you. Believe me, I keep my word.”
After saying this, even Shui Miao found himself disgusted.
But these words were music to the ears of the Golden Immortals.
“Hahaha! Good, we’ll remember that. We’ll wait for you to grow up and repay us.” The White-Robed Golden Immortal was in high spirits. He patted Shui Miao’s head and stroked his small mustache. “We are from the Jade Void Hua Mansion of the Sixth Heaven of the immortal realm. Master Hongxu is our teacher. He has thirty-six disciples, all Golden Immortals. I rank second among them—my name is Bai Yu. The one with the twin crimson hammers is third—Jin Tai’an. The black-robed Golden Immortal is Yin Tianhou, fourth. The one holding the Sky-Splitting Axe is Xiong Gang, fifth. The one with the Mystic Fire Qiankun Gourd is Fire Monkey, sixth. Remember all that?”
“Got it!”
Shui Miao nodded eagerly, then followed up, “Big brother, what’s the immortal realm like? Do you all have treasures? Are there any little beans I can eat to become stronger?” Shui Miao was shamelessly pretending to be cute, deliberately referring to elixirs as “beans” to cozy up to them.
“Little beans? What are little beans?”
The Black-Robed Golden Immortal Yin Tianhou asked curiously.
Shui Miao scratched his head. “I think they’re called dan… dan something…”
“Haha! You mean this?”
Bai Yu, the White-Robed Golden Immortal, flipped his hand, revealing an elixir. “Take it. This Lingxu Elixir is for you. Your soul is too weak—even this might be too much for you.”
“Thank you, big brother!”
Shui Miao smiled, took the elixir, and swallowed it in one gulp. After eating it, he immediately felt his strength enhance in various aspects, though the elixir’s effect was indeed very weak. “Huh? I don’t feel any different! Big brother, are you sure you didn’t give me a fake one?”
“This kid has potential!”
Yin Tianhou, the Black-Robed Golden Immortal, flipped his hand and took out a dark, murky elixir, offering it to Shui Miao. “Kid, if you can eat this elixir and withstand its effects, I’ll take you as my disciple. How about that?”
This was the Great Strength Soul Elixir, designed to rapidly boost spiritual and soul power.
For a low-level immortal, consuming this elixir would be unbearable. If someone could withstand it, they would undoubtedly be a prodigy.
For someone like Shui Miao, eating this elixir carried an extremely high risk of his spirit exploding and perishing.
The others initially wanted to intervene, but seeing Yin Tianhou’s intent to take a disciple, they held back.
“This elixir doesn’t look like much. Are you sure it’s not useless too?”
Shui Miao picked up the elixir, tossed it into his mouth, and crunched it down in a few bites.
Chewing the elixir made its effects kick in faster.
The Golden Immortals were stunned.
But Shui Miao was nonchalant. After swallowing the elixir, he looked at them with confusion. “Big brothers, are you teasing me? These beans taste pretty good, but are they really elixirs?”
“How is this possible?”
“This can’t be! It’s impossible!”
“Could it be… his father is an Immortal Lord or even an Immortal Venerable?”
“He seems extraordinary by nature—he must be the lost descendant of a former emperor!”
“Brothers, this kid—no, this little immortal attendant—let’s all teach him together, alright?”
“Yes! Let’s nurture him together. With his talent, he’s sure to surpass our eldest brother!”
The Golden Immortals were all exhilarated.
Even Fire Monkey, who had been busy burning the thousand-year bronze coffin with Samadhi True Fire, flashed over. They chattered excitedly, as if they had discovered some rare treasure, all focusing their attention on Shui Miao and seemingly forgetting about the thousand-year female ghost. Moreover, when they mentioned surpassing their eldest brother, a strange glint appeared in their eyes.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred. What kind of monster was their eldest brother? Why did his juniors have such peculiar expressions when mentioning him?
These Golden Immortals couldn’t even see through Shui Miao’s soul.
This was partly due to Shui Miao’s soul having been tempered by the Natural Dao.
Of course, it was also greatly related to his time in the Raksha Realm. There, Shui Miao had absorbed too much Extreme Yin energy, deeply influencing his soul. These Golden Immortals had never been to the Raksha Realm, so they couldn’t discern the nature of Shui Miao’s soul. Instead, they found it exceptionally natural and regarded him as a once-in-a-millennium prodigy.
To test the limits of Shui Miao’s potential, the Golden Immortals foolishly took out all their elixirs, competing to stuff them into Shui Miao’s mouth!
“How is this possible?”
“Has this entire group of Golden Immortals been fooled by him?!”
Inside the thousand-year bronze coffin, the female ghost’s divine sense trembled as she sensed the scene unfolding. She was utterly astounded! She couldn’t believe that Shui Miao could so skillfully exploit the weaknesses of human nature and character, subtly influencing others’ thoughts and controlling their actions to achieve his goals!
In reality, Shui Miao’s success was the result of various fortuitous encounters.
But at this moment, she regarded his achievement as a unique brilliance.
This brilliance filled the thousand-year female ghost with both shock and delight, regret and hatred.
What delighted her was Shui Miao’s flexible and natural approach, something enemies would find impossible to guard against.
What she regretted and hated was her earlier decision to imprison Shui Miao. What she hated even more was her current predicament, left with no chance to start over.
Shui Miao put on a naive and silly expression.
In front of these proud immortals, this tactic was perfectly timed.
Immortals looked down from high above, and generally felt pity for the weak mortals below.
Seeing Shui Miao like this, the White-Robed Xian frowned slightly, “Your soul is so weak that even a ray of sunlight could dissipate it. Forget about beating her up. Come with me to the Nine Heavens and I’ll make you a Taoist acolyte.”
“I don’t want to be an acolyte! I want to kill her! She killed my entire family, I must kill her!” Seeing his tactic working, Shui Miao decided to act even more convincingly, his voice almost breaking into tears.
“Aww, how pitiful!”
The White-Robed Xian shook his head, “Alright, alright, I’ll let you beat her up.”
“Can’t I kill her?”
Shui Miao frowned, clearly unwilling.
Seeing Shui Miao’s innocence, the White-Robed Xian smiled slightly, “Be content. She’s a major criminal in the Immortal Realm; even we dare not kill her, yet you dream of it. Youngster, what’s your name?”
“I… I’m called Xiao Shadan (Little Dumb Egg), everyone calls me that.” Shui Miao sighed, squatting down to look at the White-Robed Xian, speaking in a childish tone, “Big Brother, what are you all? I want to know who you are and what your names are. When I grow up and gain power, I will repay you. Believe me, I keep my words.”
“…”
After saying this, Shui Miao himself felt a bit disgusted.
However, these words sounded very pleasing to the ears of the Golden Immortals.
Observing the situation, the Obsessed Buddha struggled to break free but was immediately subdued by the Golden Immortal wielding Twin Crimson-Gold Hammers and the Black-Robed Golden Immortal.
Shui Miao, however, did not flee. Instead, her eyes glimmered with an idea as she approached the White-Robed Golden Immortal. Putting on an act of fear and timidity, she said, “Great Immortal, I was killed by this thousand-year female ghost, and now only a wisp of my soul remains. Could you grant me a chance to personally take revenge by killing her? If not, at least let me give her a beating!”
Shui Miao feigned a foolishly innocent expression.
In front of these arrogant immortals, her tactic was perfectly executed. Immortals, lofty as they are, often hold pity for pitiful mortal weaklings.
Hearing her words, the White-Robed Golden Immortal frowned. “Your soul is so weak that even a ray of sunlight could dissipate it. Don’t bother beating her—later, I’ll take you to the Ninth Heaven to become a Daoist attendant.”
“I don’t want to be an immortal attendant. I want to kill her! She murdered my entire family. I must kill her!” Seeing her act was working, Shui Miao amped up her performance, even pretending tears were about to fall.
“Ah, how pitiful!” The White-Robed Golden Immortal shook his head. “Fine, fine. I’ll allow you to beat her up.”
“Can’t I kill her?” Shui Miao frowned, feigning dissatisfaction.
Amused by her naivety, the White-Robed Golden Immortal smiled faintly. “Be content. She is a major criminal of the immortal realm—even we dare not kill her, yet you dream of doing so. Little one, what’s your name?”
“I… I’m called Little Fool. Everyone calls me that.” Shui Miao sighed, squatting down and looking at the White-Robed Golden Immortal with a childish tone. “Big brother, who are all of you? I want to know your names. When I become capable someday, I will repay you. Believe me, I keep my word.”
After saying this, even Shui Miao felt nauseated by her own act.
Yet, to these Golden Immortals, her words were music to their ears.
“Hahaha! Well said. We’ll remember, and we’ll wait for you to grow up and repay us.” The White-Robed Golden Immortal, in high spirits, patted Shui Miao’s head and stroked his thin mustache. “We are from the Jade Void Hua Mansion of the Sixth Heaven of the Immortal Realm. Master Hongxu is our teacher, who has taken in thirty-six disciples, all Golden Immortals. I rank second among them and am called Bai Yu. The one with the Twin Crimson-Gold Hammers ranks third, named Jin Tai’an. The Black-Robed Golden Immortal is Yin Tianhou, ranking fourth. The one holding the Sky-Splitting Axe is Xiong Gang, ranking fifth. The one with the Mystic Fire Qiankun Gourd is called Fire Monkey, ranking sixth. Have you remembered all that?”
“I have!” Shui Miao nodded eagerly, then followed up, “Big brother, what is the Immortal Realm like? Do you all have treasures? Are there any little beans I can eat to become stronger?” Shui Miao shamelessly referred to elixirs as “beans,” purely to act cute and curry favor.
“Little beans? What are little beans?” The Black-Robed Golden Immortal Yin Tianhou asked curiously.
Shui Miao scratched her head. “I think they’re called dan… dan something…”
“Haha! You mean this?” Bai Yu, the White-Robed Golden Immortal, flipped his hand, revealing an elixir. “Take it. This Lingxu Elixir is for you. Your soul is too weak—even this might be too much for you to handle.”
“Thank you, big brother!” Shui Miao smiled, taking the elixir and swallowing it in one gulp. After consuming it, she immediately felt her strength enhance in various aspects, though the elixir’s effect was indeed weak. “Huh? I don’t feel any different! Big brother, are you sure you didn’t give me a fake?”
“This kid… truly has potential!” Yin Tianhou, the Black-Robed Golden Immortal, flipped his hand and took out a dark, murky elixir, offering it to Shui Miao. “Kid, if you can eat this elixir and withstand its effects, I’ll take you as my disciple. How about that?”
This was the Great Strength Soul Elixir, designed to rapidly enhance mental and soul power.
For a low-level immortal, consuming this elixir would be unbearable. If one could withstand it, they would undoubtedly be a prodigy.
For someone like Shui Miao, eating this elixir carried an extremely high risk of soul explosion and death.
The others initially wanted to stop him, but seeing Yin Tianhou’s intent to take a disciple, they held back.
“This elixir doesn’t look like much. Are you sure it’s not useless too?” Shui Miao picked up the elixir, tossed it into her mouth, and crunched it down in a few bites.
Chewing the elixir made its effects kick in faster.
The Golden Immortals were stunned.
But Shui Miao remained nonchalant. After swallowing the elixir, she looked at them with confusion. “Big brothers, are you teasing me? These beans taste pretty good, but are they really elixirs?”
“How is this possible?”
“This can’t be! It’s impossible!”
“Could it be… his father is an Immortal Lord or even an Immortal Sovereign?”
“I believe he is inherently extraordinary—he must be the long-lost descendant of a former emperor!”
“Brothers, this kid… no, this little immortal attendant—let’s train him together, alright?”
“Yes! Let’s nurture him together. With his talent, he’s sure to surpass our eldest brother!”
The Golden Immortals were electrified with excitement.
Even Fire Monkey, who had been busy burning the thousand-year bronze coffin with Samadhi True Fire, flashed over to join them. They chattered among themselves, as if they had discovered some rare treasure, all focusing their attention on Shui Miao and seemingly forgetting about the thousand-year female ghost. Moreover, when they mentioned surpassing their eldest brother, a strange glint flickered in their eyes.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred. What kind of monster was their eldest brother? Why did the mention of him evoke such peculiar reactions from his juniors?
These Golden Immortals couldn’t even see through Shui Miao’s soul.
This was partly due to Shui Miao’s soul having been tempered by the Natural Dao.
Of course, it also had much to do with her time in the Raksha Realm. There, she had absorbed too much Extreme Yin energy, deeply influencing her soul. These Golden Immortals had never been to the Raksha Realm, so they couldn’t discern the nature of Shui Miao’s soul. Instead, they found it exceptionally natural and regarded her as a once-in-a-millennium prodigy.
Eager to test the limits of Shui Miao’s potential, the Golden Immortals foolishly took out all their elixirs, competing to stuff them into her mouth!
“How is this possible?”
“Has this entire group of Golden Immortals been deceived by him!?”
Inside the thousand-year bronze coffin, the female ghost’s divine sense trembled as she sensed the scene unfolding. She was utterly astounded! She could hardly believe that Shui Miao could so skillfully exploit the weaknesses of human nature, subtly influencing others’ thoughts and controlling their actions to achieve her goals!
In truth, Shui Miao’s success was the result of various fortuitous encounters.
But at this moment, the female ghost saw Shui Miao’s triumph as a unique brilliance.
This brilliance filled her with both shock and delight, regret and hatred.
She was delighted because Shui Miao’s mind was flexible and versatile, everything executed with utmost naturalness—a method that could catch enemies completely off guard.
She was filled with regret and hatred—regret for having trapped Shui Miao earlier, and hatred for now finding herself in peril, unable to protect herself, with no chance to start over.
“I did!”
Shui Miao nodded quickly, then immediately asked, “Big Brother, what’s the Immortal Realm like? Do you all have treasures? Are there any little pills that can make you stronger when you eat them?” Shui Miao was shameless enough to refer to pills as beans deliberately, purely to act cute and get closer to them.
“Little beans? What are little beans?”
Curious, the Black-Robed Xian, Yin Tianhou, asked beside him.
Shui Miao scratched his head, “It’s something like Dan… Dan something…”
“Haha! You mean this?”
White-Robed Xian Bai Yu flipped his hand and produced a pill, “Here, take this Ling Xu Pill. Your soul is too weak now, and you might not even be able to handle this pill.”
“Thank you, Big Brother!”
Shui Miao happily took the pill and swallowed it in one go. After taking it, he immediately felt his strength in all aspects improve, though the pill’s effect was truly weak, “Hmm, why don’t I feel any change? Big Brother, did you give me a fake pill?”
“This kid, he’s got potential!”
The Black-Robed Xian Yin Tianhou flipped his hand and produced a dark pill, handing it to Shui Miao, “Kid, if you can eat this pill and still survive, how about becoming my disciple?”
This was the Da Li Jing Hun Pill, a pill that quickly enhanced spiritual and soul power.
This kind of pill, even the lowest-level immortal would definitely be unable to endure. If one could survive it, that immortal would certainly have great potential.
In Shui Miao’s case, the likelihood of his spirit exploding and dying from taking this pill was very high.
Everyone wanted to stop him, but seeing that Yin Tianhou wanted to take a disciple, no one stopped him.
“This pill doesn’t look good. It won’t be useless again, will it?”
Shui Miao grabbed the pill and threw it into his mouth, chewing it with a few crunches.
Chewing the pill caused the medicinal effects to kick in even faster.
The Golden Immortals were stunned.
But Shui Miao remained unfazed. After swallowing the pill, he looked at everyone with confusion on his face, “Big Brothers, are you just playing with me? These beans taste pretty good, but are they really pills?”
“How can this be?”
“This is impossible! Impossible!”
“Could it be… could it be his father is a Xian Jun or a Xian Zun?”
“I think he’s extraordinary by birth. He must be a lost heir of an ancient emperor!”
“Brothers, let’s teach this kid, no, this little immortal acolyte, together, shall we?”
“Yes! Let’s cultivate him together. With his talent, he can definitely surpass the eldest senior brother!”
All the Golden Immortals became excited.
Observing the situation, the Obsessed Buddha was about to struggle when he was immediately subdued by the combined efforts of the Golden Immortal with Twin Crimson Hammers and the Black-Robed Golden Immortal.
Shui Miao, however, did not leave. Instead, his eyes darting shrewdly, he approached the White-Robed Golden Immortal and put on a facade of fear and timidity, saying, “Great Immortal, I was killed by this thousand-year female ghost, and now only a wisp of my soul remains. Could you give me a chance to personally take revenge by killing her? If not, at least let me give her a beating!”
Shui Miao adopted a foolishly naive expression.
In the presence of these arrogant immortals, his tactic was perfectly executed. Immortals, lofty as they are, often harbor pity for pitiable mortal weaklings.
Hearing Shui Miao’s plea, the White-Robed Golden Immortal frowned and said, “Your soul is so weak that even a ray of sunlight could dissipate it. Don’t bother beating her. Later, I’ll take you to the Ninth Heaven to serve as a Daoist attendant.”
“I don’t want to be an immortal attendant. I want to kill her! She murdered my entire family. I must kill her!” Seeing his act was working, Shui Miao amped up his performance, even feigning tears.
“Ah, such pity!” The White-Robed Golden Immortal shook his head. “Alright, alright, I’ll allow you to beat her up.”
“Can’t I kill her?” Shui Miao frowned, pretending to be unsatisfied.
Amused by his naivety, the White-Robed Golden Immortal smiled faintly. “Be content. She’s a major criminal of the immortal realm—even we dare not kill her. You certainly aim high, little one. What’s your name?”
“I’m called Little Fool. Everyone calls me that.” Shui Miao sighed, squatting down and looking at the White-Robed Golden Immortal with a childlike tone. “Big brother, who are all of you? I want to know your names. When I’m capable someday, I’ll repay you. Believe me, I keep my word.”
After saying this, even Shui Miao felt nauseated by his own act.
Yet, to these Golden Immortals, his words were incredibly endearing.
“Hahaha! Well said! We’ll remember, and we’ll wait for you to grow up and repay us.” The White-Robed Golden Immortal, in high spirits, patted Shui Miao’s head and stroked his thin mustache. “We are from the Jade Void Hua Mansion of the Sixth Heaven of the Immortal Realm. Master Hongxu is our teacher, who has taken in thirty-six disciples, all Golden Immortals. I rank second among them and am called Bai Yu. The one with the twin crimson hammers is third, named Jin Tai’an. The Black-Robed Golden Immortal is fourth, named Yin Tianhou. The one holding the Sky-Cleaving Axe is fifth, named Xiong Gang. The one with the Mystic Fire Qiankun Gourd is sixth, named Fire Monkey. Have you remembered all that?”
“Yes, I have!” Shui Miao nodded eagerly, then followed up, “Big brother, what’s the Immortal Realm like? Do you all have treasures? Are there any little beans I can eat to become stronger?” Shui Miao shamelessly referred to elixirs as “beans,” purely to act cute and curry favor.
“Little beans? What are little beans?” The Black-Robed Golden Immortal Yin Tianhou asked curiously.
Shui Miao scratched his head. “I think they’re called dan… something like that…”
“Haha! You mean this?” Bai Yu, the White-Robed Golden Immortal, flipped his hand, revealing an elixir. “Take it. This Lingxu Dan is for you. Your soul is too weak—even this might be too much for you to handle.”
“Thank you, big brother!” Shui Miao beamed, taking the elixir and swallowing it in one gulp. After consuming it, he immediately felt his powers enhance, though the effects were indeed minimal. “Huh? I don’t feel any different! Big brother, are you sure you didn’t give me a fake?”
“This kid has potential!” Yin Tianhou, the Black-Robed Golden Immortal, flipped his hand and produced a dark, murky elixir, offering it to Shui Miao. “Kid, if you can eat this and withstand its effects, I’ll take you as my disciple. How about that?”
This was the Great Strength Soul Elixir, designed to rapidly boost spiritual and soul power. For a low-level immortal, consuming it would be unbearable. If someone could endure it, they would undoubtedly be a prodigy. For someone like Shui Miao, the chances of his spirit exploding and perishing were extremely high.
The others initially wanted to intervene, but seeing Yin Tianhou’s intent to take on a disciple, they held back.
“This elixir doesn’t look like much. Are you sure it’s not useless too?” Shui Miao picked up the elixir, tossed it into his mouth, and crunched it down in a few bites. Chewing it made the effects kick in even faster.
The Golden Immortals stared in astonishment.
But Shui Miao remained nonchalant. After swallowing the elixir, he looked at them with confusion. “Big brothers, are you teasing me? These beans taste alright, but are they really elixirs?”
“How is this possible?”
“It can’t be! It just can’t!”
“Could it be that his father is an Immortal Lord or even an Immortal Sovereign?”
“I believe he is destined for greatness—he must be the long-lost descendant of a former emperor!”
“Brothers, this kid—no, this little immortal attendant—let’s all teach him together, alright?”
“Yes! Let’s nurture him together. With his talent, he’s sure to surpass our eldest brother!”
The Golden Immortals were electrified with excitement. Even Fire Monkey, who had been busy channeling Samadhi True Flames to burn the thousand-year bronze coffin, flashed over to join them. They chattered among themselves, as if they had stumbled upon a rare treasure, all focusing their spiritual attention on Shui Miao and seemingly forgetting about the thousand-year female ghost. Moreover, when the topic of surpassing their eldest brother came up, a strange glint flickered in each of their eyes.
A thought crossed Shui Miao’s mind: What kind of monster is their eldest brother? Why would his juniors have such peculiar reactions?
These Golden Immortals couldn’t even see through Shui Miao’s soul. This was partly due to his soul having been tempered by the Natural Dao. Of course, it was also greatly influenced by his time in the Rakshasa Realm, where he had absorbed vast amounts of Extreme Yin energy, deeply affecting his soul. These Golden Immortals, having never been to the Rakshasa Realm, couldn’t discern the nature of Shui Miao’s soul. Instead, they found it remarkably natural and regarded him as a once-in-a-millennium prodigy.
Eager to test the limits of Shui Miao’s potential, the Golden Immortals foolishly took out all their elixirs, competing to stuff them into his mouth!
“How is this possible?”
“How could this entire group of Golden Immortals be fooled by him!?”
Inside the thousand-year bronze coffin, the female ghost’s spiritual sense trembled as she observed the scene, utterly stunned! She could hardly believe that Shui Miao could so skillfully exploit the weaknesses of human nature and personality, subtly influencing others’ thoughts and controlling their actions to achieve his goals!
In truth, Shui Miao’s success was the result of various fortuitous encounters.
Yet, at this moment, she saw his triumph as a unique brilliance.
This brilliance filled the thousand-year female ghost with both shock and delight, regret and hatred.
She was delighted because Shui Miao’s mind was agile and versatile, everything executed with seamless naturalness—a method that could catch enemies completely off guard.
She was filled with regret and hatred because she shouldn’t have trapped Shui Miao earlier; she hated that she was now in peril, struggling to ensure her own survival, with no chance to start over.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred. What kind of freak was their eldest senior brother? Why did their eyes show such strange expressions?
These Golden Immortals couldn’t even see through Shui Miao’s soul body.
This was actually somewhat related to Shui Miao’s soul being refined by the Way of Nature.
Of course, it also had much to do with Shui Miao’s experience in the Realm of Rakshasa. In the Realm of Rakshasa, Shui Miao absorbed too many extremely Yin spirits, and his soul was deeply influenced by them. These Golden Immortals had never been to the Realm of Rakshasa, so they naturally couldn’t discern the nature of Shui Miao’s soul, instead finding his soul very natural. Each of them regarded Shui Miao as a rare genius.
To determine exactly how powerful Shui Miao’s potential was, the Golden Immortals foolishly took out all their pills, each vying to feed them to Shui Miao’s mouth!
“How is this possible?”
“A whole group of Golden Immortals actually got tricked by him!?”
Observing the situation, the Obsessed Buddha was about to struggle when he was immediately subdued by the joint efforts of the Golden Immortal with Twin Crimson-Gold Hammers and the Black-Robed Golden Immortal.
Shui Miao did not leave. Instead, his eyes lit up with an idea, and he approached the White-Robed Golden Immortal. Putting on a facade of fear and timidity, he said, “Great Immortal, I was killed by this thousand-year-old female ghost, and now only a wisp of my soul remains. Could you give me a chance to personally take revenge and kill her? If not, at least let me give her a beating!”
Shui Miao acted innocent and foolish.
In front of these arrogant immortals, his tactic was perfectly executed.
Immortals, lofty and superior, generally held pity for pitiable mortal weaklings.
Hearing Shui Miao’s words, the White-Robed Golden Immortal frowned. “Your soul is so weak that even a ray of sunlight could dissipate it. Don’t bother beating her. Later, I’ll take you to the Ninth Heaven to become a Daoist attendant.”
“I don’t want to be an immortal attendant. I want to kill her! She killed my entire family. I must kill her!” Seeing that his act was working, Shui Miao amped up his performance, even pretending to be on the verge of tears.
“Ah! How pitiful!”
The White-Robed Golden Immortal shook his head. “Alright, alright, I’ll let you beat her up.”
“Can’t I kill her?”
Shui Miao frowned, feigning dissatisfaction.
Amused by his naivety, the White-Robed Golden Immortal smiled faintly. “Be content. She’s a major criminal of the immortal realm—even we dare not kill her. Yet you dream big. Little one, what’s your name?”
“I… I’m called Little Fool. Everyone calls me that.” Shui Miao sighed, crouched down, and looked at the White-Robed Golden Immortal with a childish tone. “Big brother, who are all of you? I want to know your names. When I become capable someday, I’ll repay you. Believe me, I keep my word.”
After saying this, even Shui Miao found himself disgusted.
Yet, to these Golden Immortals, his words were incredibly pleasing.
“Hahaha! Good, we’ll remember. We’ll wait for you to grow up and repay us.” The White-Robed Golden Immortal was in high spirits. He patted Shui Miao’s head and stroked his thin mustache. “We are from the Jade Void Hua Mansion of the Sixth Heaven. Master Hongxu is our teacher, and he has thirty-six disciples, all Golden Immortals. I rank second among them—my name is Bai Yu. The one with the twin crimson-gold hammers is third—Jin Tai’an. The black-robed Golden Immortal is Yin Tianhou, fourth. The one holding the Sky-Cleaving Axe is Xiong Gang, fifth. The one with the Mystic Fire Qiankun Gourd is Fire Monkey, sixth. Remember all that?”
“Got it!”
Shui Miao nodded eagerly, then followed up, “Big brother, what’s the immortal realm like? Do you all have treasures? Are there any little beans I can eat to become stronger?” Shui Miao was shamelessly pretending to be cute, deliberately referring to elixirs as “beans” to act innocent and build rapport.
“Little beans? What are little beans?”
The Black-Robed Golden Immortal, Yin Tianhou, asked curiously.
Shui Miao scratched his head. “I think they’re called dan… dan something…”
“Haha! You mean this?”
Bai Yu, the White-Robed Golden Immortal, flipped his hand, revealing an elixir. “Take it. This Lingxu Elixir is for you. Your soul is too weak—even this might be too much for you.”
“Thank you, big brother!”
Shui Miao smiled, took the elixir, and swallowed it in one gulp. After eating it, he immediately felt his powers enhance in various ways, though the elixir’s effect was indeed very weak. “Huh? I don’t feel any different! Big brother, are you sure you didn’t give me a fake?”
“This kid… he has potential!”
Yin Tianhou, the Black-Robed Golden Immortal, flipped his hand and took out a dark, murky elixir, offering it to Shui Miao. “Kid, if you can eat this elixir and withstand it, I’ll take you as my disciple. How about that?”
This was the Great Strength Soul Elixir, designed to rapidly boost spiritual and soul power.
For a low-level immortal, consuming this elixir would be unbearable. If someone could withstand it, they would undoubtedly be a prodigy.
For someone like Shui Miao, eating this elixir carried an extremely high risk of his spirit exploding and perishing.
The others initially wanted to intervene, but seeing Yin Tianhou’s intent to take a disciple, they all held back.
“This elixir doesn’t look like much. Are you sure it’s not useless too?”
Shui Miao picked up the elixir, tossed it into his mouth, and crunched it down with a few chews.
Chewing it made the effects kick in faster.
The Golden Immortals were stunned.
But Shui Miao was nonchalant. After swallowing the elixir, he looked at everyone with confusion. “Big brothers, are you teasing me? These beans taste pretty good, but are they really elixirs?”
“How is this possible?”
“This can’t be! It’s impossible!”
“Could it be… his father is an Immortal Lord or even an Immortal Sovereign?”
“He appears to be extraordinary by nature—he must be the long-lost descendant of a former emperor!”
“Brothers, this kid… no, this little immortal attendant—let’s train him together, alright?”
“Yes! Let’s nurture him together. With his talent, he’ll surely surpass our eldest brother!”
The Golden Immortals were all exhilarated.
Even Fire Monkey, who had been busy burning the thousand-year bronze coffin with Samadhi True Fire, flashed over. They chattered excitedly, as if they had discovered some rare treasure, all focusing their spiritual attention on Shui Miao and seemingly forgetting about the thousand-year female ghost. Moreover, when they mentioned surpassing their eldest brother, a strange glint appeared in their eyes.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred. What kind of monster was their eldest brother? Why did his juniors have such peculiar reactions?
These Golden Immortals couldn’t even see through Shui Miao’s soul.
This was partly due to Shui Miao’s soul having been tempered by the Natural Dao.
Of course, it was also greatly related to his time in the Raksha Realm. There, Shui Miao had absorbed too much Extreme Yin energy, deeply influencing his soul. These Golden Immortals had never been to the Raksha Realm, so they couldn’t discern the nature of Shui Miao’s soul. Instead, they found it exceptionally natural and regarded him as a once-in-a-millennium prodigy.
To test the limits of Shui Miao’s potential, the Golden Immortals foolishly took out all their elixirs, competing to stuff them into Shui Miao’s mouth!
“How is this possible?”
“Has this entire group of Golden Immortals been fooled by him?!”
Inside the thousand-year bronze coffin, the female ghost’s divine sense trembled as she sensed the scene unfolding. She was utterly astounded! She couldn’t believe that Shui Miao could so skillfully exploit the weaknesses of human nature and personality, subtly influencing others’ thoughts and controlling their actions to achieve his goals!
In reality, Shui Miao’s success was the result of various fortuitous encounters.
But at this moment, she regarded his triumph as a unique brilliance.
This brilliance filled the thousand-year female ghost with both shock and delight, regret and hatred.
She was delighted because Shui Miao’s mind was flexible and versatile, everything executed with utmost naturalness—a method that left enemies defenseless.
She was filled with regret and hatred—regret for having trapped Shui Miao earlier, and hatred for now being in peril herself, unable to protect herself, with no chance to start over.
In fact, Shui Miao’s success was due to various coincidences.
But at this moment, she regarded Shui Miao’s success as a unique brilliance.
Observing the situation, the Obsessed Buddha was about to struggle when he was immediately suppressed by the joint efforts of the Golden Immortal with Twin Crimson-Gold Hammers and the Black-Robed Golden Immortal.
Shui Miao, however, did not leave. Instead, his eyes darting shrewdly, he approached the White-Robed Golden Immortal and put on a show of being both fearful and timid. “Great Immortal,” he said, “I was killed by this thousand-year female ghost, and now only a wisp of my soul remains. Could you give me a chance to personally take revenge by killing her? If not, at least let me give her a beating!”
Shui Miao feigned a foolishly naive appearance.
In front of these arrogant immortals, his act was perfectly executed. Immortals, lofty as they are, generally harbor pity for pitiable mortal weaklings.
Hearing Shui Miao’s plea, the White-Robed Golden Immortal frowned. “Your soul is so weak that even a ray of sunlight could dissipate it. Don’t bother beating her. Later, I’ll take you to the Ninth Heaven to become a Daoist attendant.”
“I don’t want to be an immortal attendant. I want to kill her! She murdered my entire family—I must kill her!” Seeing his tactic working, Shui Miao amped up his performance, even pretending to be on the verge of tears.
“Ah, how pitiful!” The White-Robed Golden Immortal shook his head. “Alright, alright, I’ll allow you to beat her.”
“Can’t I kill her?” Shui Miao frowned, feigning dissatisfaction.
Amused by Shui Miao’s apparent innocence, the White-Robed Golden Immortal smiled faintly. “Be content. She’s a major criminal of the immortal realm—even we dare not kill her, yet you dream of doing so. Little one, what’s your name?”
“I… I’m called Little Fool. Everyone calls me that.” Shui Miao sighed, squatting down and looking up at the White-Robed Golden Immortal with a childlike tone. “Big brother, who are all of you? I want to know your names. When I become capable someday, I’ll repay you. Believe me, I keep my word.”
After saying this, even Shui Miao felt nauseated by his own act.
Yet, to these Golden Immortals, his words were music to their ears.
“Hahaha! Well said! We’ll remember, and we’ll wait for you to grow up and repay us.” The White-Robed Golden Immortal, in high spirits, reached out and patted Shui Miao’s head, then stroked his thin mustache. “We are from the Jade Void Hua Mansion of the Sixth Heaven of the immortal realm. Master Hongxu is our teacher, and he has taken in thirty-six disciples, all of us Golden Immortals. I rank second among them—my name is Bai Yu. The one with the twin crimson-gold hammers ranks third—his name is Jin Tai’an. The black-robed Golden Immortal is Yin Tianhou, ranking fourth. The one holding the Sky-Cleaving Axe is Xiong Gang, ranking fifth. The one with the Mystic Fire Qiankun Gourd is called Fire Monkey, ranking sixth. Have you remembered all that?”
“I have!” Shui Miao nodded eagerly, then followed up, “Big brother, what is the immortal realm like? Do you all have treasures? Are there any little beans I can eat to become stronger?” Shui Miao shamelessly referred to elixirs as “beans,” purely to act cute and curry favor.
“Little beans? What are little beans?” The black-robed Golden Immortal Yin Tianhou asked curiously.
Shui Miao scratched his head. “I think they’re called dan… dan something…”
“Haha! You mean this?” Bai Yu, the White-Robed Golden Immortal, flipped his hand, revealing an elixir. “Take it. This Lingxu Elixir is for you. Your soul is too weak—even this might be too much for you to handle.”
“Thank you, big brother!” Shui Miao beamed, taking the elixir and swallowing it in one gulp. After consuming it, he immediately felt his strength enhance in various aspects, though the elixir’s effect was indeed weak. “Huh? Why do I feel almost no change? Big brother, you didn’t give me a fake elixir, did you?”
“This kid… he has potential!” The black-robed Golden Immortal Yin Tianhou flipped his hand, producing a dark, unremarkable elixir, and offered it to Shui Miao. “Kid, if you can eat this elixir and withstand its effects, I’ll take you as my disciple. How about that?”
This was the Great Strength Soul Elixir, designed to rapidly boost spiritual and soul power.
For a low-level immortal, consuming this elixir would be unbearable. If someone could withstand it, they would undoubtedly be a prodigy.
For someone like Shui Miao, eating this elixir carried an extremely high risk of his spirit exploding and perishing.
The others initially thought to stop it, but seeing Yin Tianhou’s intent to take a disciple, they all held back.
“This elixir doesn’t look like much. Is it really going to be useless too?” Shui Miao picked up the elixir, tossed it into his mouth, and crunched it down in a few bites.
Chewing the elixir made its effects kick in even faster.
The Golden Immortals were stunned.
But Shui Miao was nonchalant. After swallowing the elixir, he looked at them with a puzzled expression. “Big brothers, are you teasing me? These beans taste pretty good, but are they really elixirs?”
“How is this possible?”
“It can’t be! It just can’t!”
“Could it be… his father is an Immortal Lord or even an Immortal Venerable?”
“I believe he is inherently extraordinary—he must be the long-lost descendant of a former emperor!”
“Brothers, this kid—no, this little immortal attendant—let’s all teach him together, alright?”
“Yes! Let’s nurture him together. With his talent, he’s sure to surpass our eldest brother!”
The Golden Immortals were all electrified with excitement.
Even Fire Monkey, who had been busy channeling Samadhi True Fire to burn the thousand-year bronze coffin, flashed over to join them. They chattered among themselves, as if they had stumbled upon a rare treasure, and all focused their spiritual attention on Shui Miao, seemingly forgetting all about the thousand-year female ghost. Moreover, when they mentioned the possibility of him surpassing their eldest brother, a strange glint flickered in their eyes.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred. What kind of monster was their eldest brother? Why did the mention of him evoke such peculiar reactions from his juniors?
These Golden Immortals couldn’t even see through Shui Miao’s soul.
This was partly due to Shui Miao’s soul having been tempered by the Natural Dao.
Of course, it was also greatly related to his time in the Raksha Realm. There, Shui Miao had absorbed vast amounts of Extreme Yin energy, deeply influencing his soul. These Golden Immortals had never been to the Raksha Realm, so they couldn’t discern the nature of Shui Miao’s soul. Instead, they found it remarkably natural and regarded him as a once-in-a-millennium prodigy.
Eager to test the limits of Shui Miao’s potential, the Golden Immortals foolishly took out all their elixirs, competing to stuff them into Shui Miao’s mouth!
“How is this possible?!”
“That entire group of Golden Immortals—he actually deceived all of them?!”
Inside the thousand-year bronze coffin, the female ghost’s divine sense trembled as she sensed the scene unfolding. She was utterly astounded! She could hardly believe that Shui Miao could so skillfully exploit the weaknesses of human nature, subtly influencing others’ thoughts and controlling their actions to achieve his goals.
In truth, Shui Miao’s success was the result of various fortuitous encounters.
Yet, in this moment, she regarded his triumph as a unique brilliance.
This brilliance filled the thousand-year female ghost with both shock and delight, regret and hatred.
What thrilled her was Shui Miao’s remarkable ingenuity—everything he executed felt entirely natural, a strategy that could utterly surprise and outmaneuver his enemies.
What she regretted and hated was her earlier decision to imprison Shui Miao; what she hated even more was that now, trapped in peril and struggling to ensure her own survival, she had no chance to start over.
She was delighted because Shui Miao’s mind was flexible and resourceful, everything he did seemed very natural, a method that could make enemies unable to defend against it.
She regretted and resented because she shouldn’t have trapped Shui Miao before; she resented the fact that now she was in danger herself, too preoccupied to have another chance.
